Perfect condo for our family of 5! Very clean, beautiful view and had everything we needed - beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys. Great fully equipped kitchen as well was great for making breakfast and lunch. Can’t wait to come back!

Great unit, great location, great view, access to the beach was all we could ever hope for, amazingly quiet neighbors and grounds, easy access to parking and the beach - it was a perfect visit. The little store that's there was perfect for some small needs we had, everyone we ran into on the staff was friendly and the pool, while pretty small, was clean and a wonderful temperature. While we were there beach waves were very calm, and dogs on the beach were quite common. Owner was very responsive. We loved it and will not hesitate to return.

This condo in Kihei was perfect in every way. Easy access to the island, and it had everything we hoped for.

Great location, fabulous view. Clean. Great amenities.Primary bedroom had no soundproofing from the parking lot. This was the only significant negative. Staff very friendly and helpful. Access to beach and sitting was great. 808 store on location was very convenient.

Really enjoyed the ability to walk right out and have the beach, water, a grassy area, the pool and a shower for rinsing off right there. Also, nice to sleep with sliding doors open, and fall asleep to waves crashing. The unit needs some updating, especially the balcony furniture. Didn' spend much time inside.

We had a wonderful time at John and Sara‘s condo at Mana Kai for our first visit to Maui! The views are so beautiful, and the condo was amazing! It was very clean with comfortable beds and plenty of room in the closets (with lots of hangers which was nice!). The bathrooms were well stocked and had plenty of bathroom counter space and drawers, and the kitchen also was very well stocked. The swimming at the beach and snorkeling right off the rocks was great (saw several sea turtles!), and it was easy to get a lounge chair to just relax by the ocean. John and Sara are very prompt wirh communication and helpful advice/recommendations. We were in Hawaii to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and loved our time spent here, and highly recommend John and Sara's condo! We couldn’t have picked a better place! Thank you for everything!

A wonderful property with amenities right in the building. Gorgeous beach outside the door perfect for snorkeling. Also a great lawn area with shade to move into later in the day when hot. Walk to restaurants and shops. Very family friendly, so some children noises if you choose to sleep with the window open to hear the waves. Not a big deal though.

This was our second stay at Mana Kai and we found it as beautiful as the first. Mana Kai is an older complex, but the location is stunning. An ocean breeze is constant and the waves lull you to sleep at night. This condo was fully stocked with everything we needed. The furnishings are a little worn, but we didn’t stay inside much anyway with the ocean calling. We love the ability to walk out the lobby door a few steps to the ocean. The public beach is well loved by many for walking, sunbathing and snorkeling. We hope to return soon.

This unit is exceptional. Beautiful ocean front property and perfect access to the beach for sun, fun or walks. This unit has everything you need. Well appointed kitchen with all kinds of upgrades. There are beach toys, chairs, umbrella and everything else the resort offers, makes this place a must select. Easy check in and technology access.

Imagine being so overwhelmed by the view from your balcony that you never want to leave it?!! Seriously, that was our problem! This was an amazing location, clean, cooled, it was everything we needed and more! We will definitely be back! The snorkeling just outside the condo was exactly what we needed! Don’t pass this place up, it’s a gem!

Overall condo was great very clean and well stocked. We would have liked more beach towels and possibly an umbrella for the beach. I was expecting a true 2 bedroom condo not just dividers for the roomI would also say the communication was not the best when unit first bookedOverall, would recommend the location and building

The pictures showing of this condo are NOT of the condo actually rented. The ACTUAL condo has a master on the backside of the condo facing the parking lot and lots of foot traffic to other units, so you can't even open the blinds if you want privacy. There is a desk with a microwave and a desk fan and a ton of electrical cords all over the place so it feels like a dorm room (and an electrical safety hazard). The master bathroom is so tiny you can barely turn around in it. The second bed is the one facing the lanai and there is no TV as shown. The orientation of the condo is completely different than listed, and the kitchen is smaller. The carpet is dated and in terrible condition- felt gross to walk on with bare feet. The master bedroom also has a separate lock on it so I guess it can be rented separately, so every time you close the door you have to punch in 6 digits to get back in. The beach is as pictured and beautiful, and the place was clean, but not nearly as nice as pictured. I contacted My Perfect Stays and they gave me 250 for my "disappointment" which does not at all cover being lied to and fraud, or the diminished quality of what I thought we were renting. I contacted VRBO and they will do nothing. Big WARNING!! Do not rent!! We tarveled for 15 hours with kids in tow to get there, and had no choice but to stay.

My family of four had a great week stay. We loved the location right on the beach and the ocean views from the lanai. Kids swam in the pool everyday. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Communication and checkin were smooth with Vacasa. We had an assigned parking spot. No Washer/Dryer inside our unit, but there was common laundry on our floor. We were happy that there were beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler for use, perhaps left by previous renters. We would stay here again.

Our stay was better than expected. We would normally stay in a hotel but wanted a kitchen (and two bathrooms was a plus as well). Placed a pick up order from wal mart before we even arrived on Maui and immediately had snacks and breakfast to last our whole stay. The condo and premises and beach were beautiful, safe and family friendly.Opening the balcony doors in the morning to a breathtaking view is something you’d have to pay way more for at a hotel. I would definitely go back.

We have stayed at the Mana Kai five times before in different condos, this unit is absolutely beautiful and the owners thought of every detail to make you feel like you were staying at a five star hotel. I just booked for next year to make sure we get the same unit!

Location can't be beat, this spot is steps away from one of the best beaches in the area. Gorgeous ocean views from the balcony. The local community is lively and has a nice vibe of folks enjoying life in Hawaii. Regarding the accommodations, it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have a designated parking space. As other reviews mentioned, it could use a good maintenance - all sliding doors don't work well and the kitchen faucet is loose. Decent assortment of cooking supplies, but you will need to bring in every item (no olive oil, salt/pepper, etc hanging around). We found it a bit uncomfortable as a beach launching pad. There is exactly 1 towel hook, and hanging items on balcony prohibited (rightfully so), but where does one dry out their swimmers and beach towels, let alone bathing towels? Could use a couple floor mats -at least put one at the entry to catch those last few tiny bits of sand that the showers didn't quite catch. You have to go through 2 sets of heavy doors with 2 long punch pad codes to get into the unit - so leaving and returning were always an effort, especially when carting gear. Vacasa manages the unit through robo-texts and generic emails. There is a gimmicky welcome packet with coffee (but no filters) and a starter pack of a sponge and dish soap, along with a long list of how to behave. The unit was eligible for late check-out, if I paid more, so overall not a huge fan of Vacasa.

We enjoyed our stay at Mana Kai as the location and view is fantastic. The unit is older and nothing fancy, but worked fine for a family with two teenagers. The "master bedroom" is basically an extension of the living room separated by a lightweight room divider, so it required cooperation for shutting down the living room and kitchen areas at bed time. We appreciated the AC. The convenience store was a nice bonus for items. Would stay again.

Loved the place, view, and location. I probably wouldn’t advertise this as a 2-bedroom because it wasn’t. It was a studio with an extra bedroom and we wanted a 2-bedroom. It’s not a bedroom when the master is in the living room and kitchen. All that said, it was a beautiful spot and great location. The beach was amazing!

This unit is very well-equipped with a lovely ocean view from the patio and the two bedrooms. We would highly recommend it. The Mana Kai property is very well maintained as well and the bbq area is excellantly managed if you like to cook in more than go out.

Let's start with Mana Kai itself - there are very few (less than 4-5) higher end condo complexes in Kihei that are oceanfront / beachfront (by my book Royan Mauian, Kihei Surfide, and Mana Kai). Mana Kai is by far the best option out of all of them. Yes, the building was built in the mid 70's, but it has been very well maintained. Key benefits of Mana Kai - nice pool (pool at Surfside next door is tiny!), great location right in front of one of the best beaches in South Maui, on-site grocery / sundry store, on-site beach rental store (including SUP & Kayaks).Now for review of unit 815. This is a mostly remodeled unit - the main bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom have all be updated and they did a nice job - quality finishes & appliances, the bed is comfortable. The second bedroom / bathroom leave a lot to be desired - the bed is not comfortable at all, and that second bathroom hasn't been remodeled - it is clean and functional, but the sink countertop is VERY low. Why they did not remodel the whole unit baffles me. Overall the unit was clean, no deferred maintenance items. It was missing beach umbrella, which comes in very handy in South Maui.

Our family of four (two teens) loved our stay. It was quite literally the perfect location. Things we loved about the property: the view, the walk out beach access, the bedrooms split up, having two bathrooms, beach chairs, coolers, floaties, grocery bags, a full kitchen of odds and ends, the general store downstairs. Great ac and ceiling fans too. We will be back. Thank you for making our dream vacation so amazing.

We rented two condos at the Mana Kai Maui Resort for a week long stay. The resort is right on the beach and every condo has a view of the ocean. We have been to this resort several times and have never been disappointed. We had six of us in our part from age 14-83 and the rooms were well equipped to take care of the needs of everyone.

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 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
