This condo is very well set up for a wheelchair user traveling with a companion. Toilet, roll-in shower, sink and closet well thought out. The condo is the further set back of the complex but has a private yard area off the lanai. Due to location, the car, the laundry, and access is really easy. No stairs. The park right next door, miles of beach with out many people; private, Nice Hawaiian style. Great space for family, central to the island in a quiet area away from bustle. Restaurants, whale watches, boat charters, the Maui Ocean Center easy walk. We had a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Jon’s place. The location was perfect as it was just a few steps from the beach, which during our stay was very private. We are a family of five with young children and were very comfortable. The unit came with everything we needed i.e. linens, towels, beach chairs and a well stocked kitchen (pots/pans/utensils etc). We look forward to a return visit!

Always happy to stay in this condo. Jon is a wonderful host. It has everything we need in a lovely area that is very walkable.

The unit is perfectly accessible - the room & bathroom are spacious. There’s enough room to maneuver a power wheelchair. The roll in shower is perfect! The only problem is the unit is next to a parking lot of a park and it gets really noisy at night. Overall, the whole property is a thumb’s up!

Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. The location is short walk to the beach which was very nice.
The apartment itself is not in great shape as much of it is outdated, the AC worked very well though.
Biggest complaint was the noise from the bathroom and the roosters that were directly outside of the building. The roosters would crow starting at 4 AM and made sleeping nearly impossible for my family and I. It caused such a disturbance that we ended up leaving early and finding another place to stay.

Owner Jon Toda was very accommodating for early check in and late check out, because of our flight schedule.We enjoyed the quite atmosphere and beautiful landscaped grounds located next to a beautiful beach area.The only complaint was we couldnt make use of the on site laundry as it didn’t accept $ and used a app that required payment with a credit card and the app only accepted American issued credit cards,Which was a little surprising as many Canadian and other foreign citizens visit Maui on a regular basis. Overall I would stay here again.

Lovely and cozy condo with great access to the bay and beautiful pool. Clean and refreshing! Would definitely stay here again. Handicap access was very efficient. Jon was very nice and detail oriented.

Most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. Laundry was not inside unit but laundry soap was provided. Beds and linens were very nice.
The public park right next to unit was a plus but also a negative for loud music a few nights.

The condo itself was clean and had the basic necessities. It served its purpose. We had to do laundry to clean our towels and buy toilet paper. The unit is next to beach access and there were some very undesirable people in this area quite a bit of the time. Made me uncomfortable enough that my daughter and I did not go out at dark alone and I am not an overprotective person.

Hi. Our unit (A3) was just OK this time. This was our 5th Korean 6th time renting it. Nice new fridge this year and a new dining area ceiling fan installed while we were there...very nice. One negative was spots on the carpet, which we cleaned. There is also a spot on the deck carpet and the rubber edge on the deck I’d delaminating now. Other kind of ongoing issues the last 2 times we’ve rented this unit are the deck chairs are a bit shabby, and the silverware and kitchen utensils are a jumbled collection. We have purchased silverware and other kitchen items in the past to augment what is there, but the unit still needs a new can opener. We still had a great time though. Thanks for reading this.

We had a great time in Makani a Kai A3. We have stayed there in different units many times since the late eighties! A3 is now beginning to look a little tired. Rosemary and the management team are superb, they were of assistance a couple of times. Owing to a misunderstanding, the door combination was changed while we were out for supper on our second-to-last night, and we had also problems with the lock box. We look forward to our next visit.

We loved this location! The property is so convenient - just steps away from a beautiful beach with great swimming and snorkeling. The beach also extends for miles to the East, great for an early morning walk or run in relative solitude with the sun rising over Haleakala. A short walk to the outstanding Maui aquarium and a small shopping center with shave ice and a few restaurants. Maalaea is actually pretty centrally located too. The condo was really clean, cosy, and practical. The lanai looks out on the neighboring beach park and ocean. The condo is also right next to the laundry area (not noisy at all, but rather highly convenient). Jon Toda, the property manager, was super responsive and friendly. Mahalo!

The property is very pretty with lots of flowers. It is at the end of the street so fairly quiet. The condominium itself is in the back of the property, but the beach is only steps away. The beach is very secluded and we enjoyed wonderful quiet, sunrises and sunsets. We had very heavy rains and water came into one of the bedrooms from around the baseboards. Hopefully this has been fixed. The interior could use some updating, but was clean and functional. Overall we had a great stay.

Beautiful and well appointed condo!! Many extras provided like beach umbrella and chairs, boogie board. Kitchen was stocked nicely with many cooking utensils and common spices needed for preparing meals. Owner communicated well and responded quickly to any questions abd/or needs that we had during the stay.
This condo is centrally located and in a quiet complex right by a beautiful beach!!! With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms everyone had privacy during our family vacation. A great place to stay!!!!

This priority is fantastic! You are right in between the east and west mountains of Maui and with a walkout right to a great beach. The facilities were in good order and great if you want to save a few dollars making meals and eating in. We will be back! Thank you!!

Absolutely loved this place! When we arrived it was nice and clean inside, and hidden in the back so it was nice and private. Beach was just a short beautiful walk down the path. The property opens into a gorgeous beach that was perfect for our kids 18, 16, 12 to go play in, and turtles always near the rocks! This was a perfect condo for our family!!

Easy entry and helpful manager next door. The kitchen was very well stocked with good cooking equipment. We really appreciated the very nice beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler with ice packs. We used them every day. The bedrooms get a bit warm, but there are ceiling fans and box fans to help out. We enjoyed listening to the ocean waves in the evening at the complex. The complex itself is really well maintained. The grills, laundry, tables and chairs are well kept.

The property is beautiful, right next to parking and the on the beach it made loading and unloading easy. It is quiet, comfortable, and a little secluded from all the tourists areas, every time we went swimming we almost had a big piece of the beach to ourselves, and the salt water pool was also warm and very enjoyable everyday. Relaxing on the patio was a awesome place to end our days from the beach. Jon was very responsive to all our needs and helped us out with any issues we had .Overall, our visit was amazing and we definitely look forward to visiting again. Thank You
