Stunning views from second floor unit. Well appointed with all the things you need within easy access.Stunning beaches, comfortable bed, easy parking and everything you need for a self-sustained visit.Thank you!
Great condo to rent if you want to view plenty of whale and turtle action, incredible sunsets, and lots of cafe, markets and shopping opportunities. Its got all you need for a perfect vacation location mahalo
Second time at this property and it doesn't disappoint! Couldn't ask for a better location right on the water. Beach just out the door and whale watching during the right time of year. A well stocked condo with everything you need for a low key Maui stay. Great communication with owner as well.
This studio condo had a wonderful oceanfront view and was great for the price point- the condo itself is very old and not as appealing as its neighbors - the unit was comfortable but old and a bit worn.
Beautiful condo on second floor listening to ocean waves with amazing view only found in Hawaii! We got to see whales all day long and everyday during our 7 day stay. Pack your binoculars! We also got to see turtles and snorkelled right on beach. Car stayed parked mostly as we ate at the food trucks, and local restaurants across the street along with grocery store. You are a 45 minute beach walk away from Whalers Village. We did the Old Lāhainā luau which we highly recommend.Mahalo!
We had a great stay at Maui Kai. We like the quieter, non resort feel and this is it, with amazing water views and feet from the water. Our favorite thing about it was seeing the whales from your balcony. Bring your binoculars! Bed and Linens were very comfortable for us! Plenty of towels etc. for the two of us for the week which i’ve had trouble in some places with. Communication was good! Location is great for walking to some things or shorter drives to others.
Wonderful place and great vacations!Would definitely stay again at this condo.Few issues, but it didn’t affect the good experience:Fridge wasn’t working properly and we had to throw away some food. The ice-maker worked, so we managed to keep some food in ice.Beach chairs (3): 1 good, 1 partially broken, 1 broken. Parasols (2), broken. This was quite disappointing because they’re very important for this type of vacation and it costs the owner very little money to fix this.Needs a bit of renovation, specially the bathroom drawers.Beach is great, views are magnificent.
We arrived very late after long flight. The other guests were helpful. The condo was as promised and nice “surprise” bag with treats from our host. The waves were hitting the shore outside the place and it took some time to get accustomed to the white noice, versus the white noice of traffic in the city where I live. The lanai was wonderful and we were able to view sea turtles swimming and whales spouting. The host’s recommendations of restaurants are very good. As pictured, the beach was just a short walk down the stairs and if you walk the beach you can stop by nearby resorts and grab a bite or drink. Highly recommend. Host is incredible.
The main attraction is the area itself, which is beautiful, and being there during whale migration is a special bonus. We watched them spout, rollover and occasionally breach every day. The building was quiet and we met lots of nice people in the pool area. We enjoyed the pool and spa, which were never crowded. The location is walking distance from restaurants and groceries. You can walk out the building and access the beach. The unit itself was comfortable for two people. The lanai was large and mere feet from the ocean. The lanai furniture needs replacing, as it is rusted from the salt water air. The unit was basically clean, but could use a deep cleaning. Furniture was basic but adequate, bed was comfortable, kitchen appliances worked well. Lots of available parking, which is far from the case at many other buildings in the area. Overall, the unit made a nice home base for our visit.
This was such a good deal and the view was absolutely breathtaking. My wife and I just loved sitting on the Lanai in the mornings and after we got back from activities each day. The room was clean and had everything you needed for your stay. We will definitely be looking here again next time we come back to Maui
The location of the condo was perfect, in a nice quiet building right on the water. Tons of food options a short walk away. Everything was included to enjoy the beach; towels, chairs and a cooler!
The ocean view and sound of the waves made it hard to venture away from the condo. But when I did, shops, dining, and pristine beaches were just a short walk away.
Let's see if this negative review sticks. The condo is in poor condition with several broken items. No smoke alarm which took 3 days to replace. The balcony door is broken and coming apart with the wind blowing in. The furniture is cheap and uncomfortable. Everything is Rusty. We would have moved if we could. The parking lot was being paved and we couldn't get to the lobby.
Sri's studio was perfect for 2 people. You cannot beat the ocean view and location! We could see whales from our Lanai and enjoyed walking to Whalers Village for lunch. Sri was excellent to communicate with and all of our needs were met.
We look forward to staying here again in the future!
The condo was a perfect place to escape the cold winter for a few days. The lanai is RIGHT on top of the ocean, we sat and watched whales swim by all day. Grocery and restaurants are walkable from the unit. All the necessities were in the unit, including towels, beach gear, kitchen implements (no spices however), and cable/wifi.
We loved it and look forward to staying again!
Excellent location with a great lanai facing the ocean. Excellent for morning coffee and watching whales. Beach access and shoreside trail were right outside. Bed could have been more comfortable but otherwise nicely furnished. Kitchen was generally well furnished for a studio although could have had some basic amenities like salt/pepper. Pool/BBQ area was very nice.

No beach and not a up to date place. Old and drafty! The inside was updated and okay! We left two nights early and stayed at another place!
I got in late and I am over 65. The entrance is dark. I liked having the food trucks and grocery store within walking distance. I think the unit is good but don't look too closely at the corners and vents.

We love Maui Kai and have been returning guests since 2012. You simply can’t beat the views, oceanfront location, and easy access to great food. Though the building is over 50 years old, Maui Kai does a great job with ongoing updates to keep things fresh.We previously stayed in Unit 202 and had a wonderful experience — even greeted with a fresh pineapple! Since Units 202 and 203 were once owned or managed by the same people and are mirror images of each other, we assumed the quality and condition would be similar. Unfortunately, Unit 202 wasn’t available this trip, so we booked Unit 203 expecting a comparable experience.However, Unit 203 is in serious need of renovation. The VRBO photos don’t reflect its current condition. Upon arrival, lights were left on but the A/C was off, leaving the unit hot and stuffy (though it did smell clean). The exterior door frame rusted, the bathroom light had lint/dust buildup, ceiling holes, rusted braces, and a patched-over soap niche.On the lanai, the furniture was so rusted I felt like I needed a tetanus shot before using them. Other issues included broken drawers, broken binoculars, a separating sliding door, stuck lanai screens, corroded handles, unusable beach chairs, dirty carpet, and constant vent condensation.We were very disappointed with Unit 203’s condition and won’t book it again. In the future, we’ll plan our stays around Unit 202’s availability - it remains well-maintained with excellent reviews (4.92 from 140 guests).
