My husband and I brought our 2 adult children ages 20 & 22 to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation before she goes on to grad school. It was a perfect week with weather, activities and dining. We loved the location of the condo and how close to beach it was. We enjoyed walking down in the evening and hearing the waves. Pool and hot tub nice after a long day of hiking. People were friendly and very informative on things to do and places to eat. We will be back for our 4th visit to Maui!

The condo was OK. The lock was missing on the door. Only a deadbolt worked. There was no air conditioning. There were tiny ants all over the kitchen counter. Other than that, the room was fine.

This one bedroom condo has gorgeous ocean views including the sunset from the balcony! Everything was fully stocked - kitchen, bathroom linens, towels, laundry, and tonnes of beach toys! The space was perfect for three of us. Plenty of fans helped to cool the place down. Location is great and central to many beaches and activities.

The apartment is very clean and spacious. Enough room for our family of 5. The living room couch was perfect for 2 little kids. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need for cooking. There are even some board games such as UNO that kept our kids busy between pool and the beach. The lanai is huge with enough seating for big family. The location of the condo is convenient for getting around Maui and visiting various beaches.

Property looked exactly like it's photos. No using an old pic just to show up to old, worn or broken things. Everything was clean and up-to-date, in perfect working order. Great little gem for a superb price. Contact with the owners were quick and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

This was a spectacular stay! We enjoyed the condo and it’s amenities. Everything we needed (like beach towels and mats) were available for us to use. Jean reached out prior to our stay and answered all of our questions. The condo was close to multiple grocery stores and great eateries, all within reasonable walking distance.

We were here with our adult son. The unit is perfectly laid out, with two baths and two bedrooms, one bed/bath upstairs, so good space separation if desired, It also has the most spectacular views! Bring binoculars. We saw whales from the patio every day that we were there. Beds were super comfy and unit was quiet. In suite laundry enabled us to pack light and the unit was equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool area was also ideal. Thanks for being a big part of our wonderful holiday!!!

We stayed 4 nights at this rental. The view from this rental was great! The unit was clean and we appreciated that there were rugs on the floor! The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed and more. There were plenty of towels and beach items. The pickleball court was not an issue for us. We arrived after the office closed on a Friday afternoon so we couldn't get the parking pass that was needed. We called the owner who advised us on what to do and they handled the situation very well. We enjoyed being able to walk the beach from this rental. We had easy access to restaurants in the area. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay in Kihei over spring break (2025). The unit was great for our family of three and the location was convenient and centrally located. We enjoyed having access to the pool, hot tub and beach right outside our door but also taking lots of day trips to explore the island.

The condo was as advertised and communication with the host was easy. It is located near several grocery stores, which made it easy to utilize the furnished kitchen and eat meals on the lanai. The beds were very comfortable and the living area was appreciated for winding down after a busy day of activities. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub much but the pool area was clean, not crowded, and the grilling area was a plus. The location in Kihei was convenient whether traveling to Kapalua and Kaanapali, Paia and the upcountry, or heading down to Big Beach. The furnished beach chairs, umbrellas, and cooler were also much appreciated for use while visiting the beaches. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui!

We visited from OahuCheck-in, parking was fineThe property has great landscaping; we enjoyed the pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, easy walk to the beach every dayI knew there was a tennis court/Pickleball court straight ahead; I didn’t realize people would be playing from 8 AM until sunset; I am a Pickleball fan but good for others to know in advance I thinkKing bed, twin beds, sofa bed we’re OK; the pillows and towels should be replaced/improved; the kitchen was well equipped other than the cheap coffee makerI appreciated the dishwasher and laundry tablets; As well as the beach chairs, cooler, boogie board, etc. I would have appreciated at least a small soap, shampoo, conditionerThe sunsets were awesome :-)

This truly felt like a condo we would own ourselves. So many rentals are so cheaply furnished and have very sparse supplies but not this one! It had almost everything we could ever want or need. The furniture was comfortable (including the king bed) and the kitchen was well stocked with ingredients and nice dishes and pans.The unit has a beautiful view and is centrally located for visiting many places on the island. There are lots of restaurant choices nearby as well. We found the unit to be quiet as well. You are well away from the road so can't hear the traffic from the unit either.If you like pickleball, you will enjoy the easy access to walk out the door and join in a group for free play. They are there every morning and early evenings. The pool was a nice temperature and was a fine pool, but didn't have a lot of shade options. The beach right in front of the unit has a nice long stretch for walking on but you might want water shoes as there are some rocks on the beach.The easy access for getting in and and out of the condo with a keypad made it so convenient.A truly wonderful condo!

This was our second time staying at Luana Kai and we love this property! We love Kihei and find the location perfect for setting out to explore different parts of the island daily. This unit was perfect for our group of 6, though previous reviews are spot on about the lanai and the A/C. The furnishings on the patio could definitely be upgraded. They are both worn and uncomfortable. The A/C unit is loud and blows hot air so that it's uncomfortable for most to sit too close to it. Unfortunately, the unit requires A/C to really cool down so just turning it off isn't necessarily an option. The property manager was excellent. All information and communication provided timely. It was exactly as advertised and you can't beat the location, the quiet and peacefulness of the property, the beach access and a decent pool! Great, especially if you're out and about exploring all the island has to offer!

We stayed 5 nights in Jean's beautiful condo and really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was fully stoked with plenty of cooking supplies and spices (there's also plenty of sunscreen!). We loved the ambiance and colors inside this beautifully remodeled condo. Also the pool and grill area was also really nice to camp out. Note - there were four adults in our party and would say that is plenty. You could additionally squeeze 2 small children in as well otherwise 6 ppl would be quite cozy given this is a 2 bedroom 2 full bath condo. Would absolutely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo had lots of space for 4 adults. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen which had enough room for more than one person at a time. The condo cooled quickly when air conditioning units were turned on as necessary. We appreciated the use of beach chairs and an soft sided cooler. This is a great location with easy access to the beach as well as all the other amenities of Kihei.
