Mana Kai is rough to beat! Beautiful beach steps away and pool oceanside. Unit was nicely appointed. Very comfortable. Would recommend communicating with property manager via text instead of email. I emailed days before trip without response. Did get a quick reply when I text the ice maker for the fridge/freezer wasn’t working. Said they would check on getting fixed. Never heard back. In the scheme of things, not the end of the world.

Mana Kai is our preferred placed to stay on Maui and this condo didn't disappoint. It was very nice to be in a unit closer to the ocean; this ensures a beautiful water view from the back bedroom, rather than just parking lot The unit was clean and comfortable and included everything we needed for a comfortable stay. belot.

The view from this condo is spectacular, we were able to snorkel most days RIGHT THERE - nice big reef - - and as a condo, cook your own breakfast, lunch and go out for the odd supper. Great place.

This was a great location from which to enjoy the laid back vibes of Kihei! Unit has a fabulous view and it was very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the restaurant in the building is still undergoing renovations, so it was not available. So, the only downside is that you’ll need to drive somewhere for meals if you don’t want to cook. The market downstairs does have a limited menu. If you need to rent water sports gear, go see Carol next door to the market!

We’ve been to Maui many times and this is the best property we’ve had. The remodel includes all the amenities, high end appliances and stunning decor. I loved the view and spent a ton of time on the lanai. We will definitely be back!

We have stayed at the Mana Kai since the late 70s & always find the location, beach, amenities, & condo floor plans to be wonderful. The view was outstanding; the beach access & pool are the best! The 410 unit was well-stocked & clean. The communication with the property management team was prompt & very helpful.

This condo was perfect for our small group of two adults and one teen. I liked the privacy of having a separate room that was very quiet. I dont normally like staying with ither people, but the dedicated bedroom was perfect. When the door was closed i couldn't hear anything from the rest ofthecondo. The location couldnt be beat. The beach was so perfect we never felt the need to seek out another. I will be back. benever

My husband and I took our two sons on a week long vacation in Kehie at this condo. I loved this location. The resort is very well maintained. Everyone we crossed paths with were friendly and kind. This town is so beautiful and nice. I didn't ever feel worried or unsafe. The beach is so close and the water is calm. If you want big waves drive down to Mākena and go to big beach. That was a ton of fun! This condo had everything we needed and everything was great!! Thank you again!!

Great VRBO unit. Clean, well furnished, perfect location. Everything regarding the property was a 10/10******Except the "communication with host" trying to chat with a non-responsive chatbot was completely pointless.

We spent a week at this property. We have been coming to the Mana Kai Maui regularly starting in 1979. This unit was by far the nicest unit we have visited. The property is nicely upgraded and forged into a single 2 bedroom unit with central air throughout. The appliances are all new and top quality. The lanai is well appointed and where you will likely spend much of your stay. Being on the 5th floor or above (and being at the end of the building closest to the ocean as this unit is) assures a view that really cannot be matched or bested anywhere on the island - we have tried!! Fortunately beautiful Keawakapu Beach did not lose sand during the earlier winter storms. We experienced perfect weather every day. Hopefully the restaurant will reopen soon - it’s so convenient to watch the sunset and the whales with a nice meal and a cocktail or wine. You cannot go wrong with this property and it’s close to all the nice facilities in Wailea but without the hubbub. Hopefully we’ll be back! It is a relatively expensive unit but the cost pales compared to the Wailea hotels - and they can’t match the comfort, views and relaxed pace of the Mana Kai

The unit was clean. However, the kitchen facet was not secured to the counter top. The bed was very comfortabke. Beautiful ocean view and we spotted whales from the lanai. Very nice beach and lawn area. Not far from shopping and dining.

This was our 2nd visit to this beautiful condo and we loved everything once again! The decor, bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities, and location make this an A vacation. We treated our adult son and his girlfriend to a week in Maui and know that we’ve set the bar high. Everyone slept comfortably and had all they needed for a great time on the island. The owner has thought of everything and the location could not be better. We appreciate that the building is steps from the beach, has on-property kayak rentals, a convenience store, heated swimming pool, and turtles swimming in the lagoon! We took the tandem kayaks out and saw more whales (close up and personal) than we did on our whale watching excursion on a boat. If you are looking for the perfect balance of comfort, location, and value - this is the place. So grateful we’ve found our place. We look forward to being “regulars” here!

Very nice place however it could use a few more upgrades, could use a new kitchen sink fixture, and shower fixture. Fridge could be upgraded as well. AC in bedroom 2 didn’t cool the bedroom. That being said you could certainly not have a more perfect view and very relaxing place to be, could watch the whales spraying in the bay, and snorkeling right over the Lanai…

We love staying at the Mana Kai and 708 was perfect for another stay. The rooms were clean and the kitchen has everything you need for creating meals. We love the grills for outdoor cooking. We loved our stay.

You can’t beat the view or the laid back vibe of Mana Kai 304. The hosts were so kind, and their place accommodated our family of five perfectly. You can’t find a better beach or sunset on Maui!

I have stayed in this unit before and it is well decorated, clean, and the view is nice. This is about our 10th time staying at Mana Kai Maui. For the majority of this trip however there was construction for the new restaurant literally right below us and in some cases the construction began before 8 AM. This was very disruptive to our romantic getaway. I requested the owner consider a small refund and he refused. We will not be staying in this unit again.

Great stay in this condo. Have stayed at mana kai several times before, its a great location with views, great beach, gym, etc. Unit is a nicely renovated unit. Kitchen well stocked for cooking. Beds and furniture was comfortable. Only slight knock, TV was very small and not a smart TV (,so no streaming). Wasnt a big issue for us but could be for a family that wanted that.But overall I'd recommend this condo

The property was very nice. Weve stayed many times at The Mana Kai and This unit was very nicely furnished and stocked. Our only complaint is that they were to replace/repair the safe and that never happened.Mahalo

This was our second rental on our first trip to Maui. Great location to shops, beach, restaurants. Was awesome to have grass to lie on as an alternative to sand. We had four people in our party and room size was perfect. More of a hotel room feel, but we weren't there much because of the great location!

The condo is beautifully appointed! Feels like a very high end hotel room. Everything is provided and the kitchen is well stocked with basic supplies. We had a very minor plumbing problem and the property manager had it graciously fixed in a matter of hours.

We loved our stay. You cannot beat this view in Kihei. We went for long walks along the beach every morning. which then connected to the Wailea beach path to walk past all the resorts. If you are not an AC person, the ceiling fans move the air nicely in the condo. The lanai is a good size for 4 people to enjoy sitting and/or eating. The condo is well equipped with everything you could need.

This is the 4th time we've stayed in a condo in this building. This was the best of the lot. The sound of the surf lulled us to sleep each night. The beds were comfortable. Beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and swimming noodles were provided. Thank you!The kitchen was equipped better than any condo kitchen I've rented in the last 30 years. The knives were sharp!!!Thank you very much. We'd definitely stay here again.

The scenery, location, and condo/lanai space were awesome. The whales were plentiful and fun to watch. However, the second bedroom had been advertised with a small fridge and coffee maker. It had neither. The televisions were nice but lots of streaming problems while trying to watch a program. One of the kitchen chairs had a loose leg and we were afraid to use it. There was a red light on the microwave stating "reset filter" and we did not find any way to follow the instructions. The availabilty of a pay washer and dryer on the same floor was convenient but according to the book complementary detergent was to have been provided. There was none and when we asked housekeeping on the floor they refused to give us any stating we were "privately owned." The assigned parking spot was so small that passengers had to exit before pulling into the spot. Overall......very pleased with the unit and if we vacation on Maui again will likely return. teprogr television and available

Wonderful apartment had everything we could need for a wonderful stay. Beautiful views and swimming beach right out the door. The pool was nice for a non sand swim. Convenient to have a shop right downstairs and the 10pm late checkout was so worth it for our evening flight. Would come again with no hesitation, loved the modern updates to the suite.

Easy check in, Best views, no traffic noise, my elderly parents were very comfortable in the separate bedroom where they could rest, louvered windows provided lots of fresh air, heat pumps kept unit cool when needed. Loved the shoji doors separating the main bed from couch. All beds were super comfortable! Kitchen was well stocked w utensils, staff was very helpful, great snorkeling w cuttlefish, eels, sea turtles right out front
