Lovely, peaceful stay

This is an older property, well-maintained, nestled in near the harbor at Ma'alaea. The grounds are gorgeous and there is a very nice, very clean pool on the grounds. The condo itself was spacious, well-appointed, and offered a nice view of the harbor. Unlike some of the adjacent properties, this one is on a sandy beach which is just a minute or two from the condo. Others nearby just have abrupt, rocky drop offs, but this is a real little beach. The small park nearby is sweet and we enjoyed some beautiful morning yoga there, looking out at the ocean. The property manager could not have been more helpful and the owners were supportive and treated us very fairly when a small issue came up. We loved this place and would gladly stay there again.

K8

No table, crappy a/c, upstairs b/r is a death trap. Bed area is raised BUT step DOWN into closet??? Step down next to bed to exterior windows with windows that do not open. Pay attention or a fall Is probable. A/C units in the room, not thru a wall, IN THE ROOM. Do not remember seeing that in pics or description. Instructions for unit were outdated in some areas. WiFi was wrong, no idea how to watch TV although NetFlix and Amazon were ok. A note about recycling would have been nice, only found what was recyclable when we threw out garbage. Beach chairs, towels and boogie boards was good. Beach shown in pictures is public beach, not on property. All in all, Hawaii, great, condo, not so much. Downstairs bathroom tub was difficult to enter with no bar for aid.

Wonderful Time at Makani A Kai!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s perfectly located within 20 minutes from the airport in a quieter part of the island yet close enough to drive to many neighboring areas and enjoy the attractions and restaurants. Perfect balance of a peaceful and engaging active getaway!

Great location right next to the beach

We were very happy with this rental and with quick responses from the rental agency to answer questions. It is literally a 30 second walk to the beach where we were able to snorkel on calm water days. We even saw sea turtles right off the shore. The condo has A/C in both bedrooms and in the living area which was a blessing. It was only a 15 minute drive to the airport and a 15-30 minute drive up the West coast of Maui to many wonderful beaches. We were also located less than a mile from the harbor where daily snorkel tours depart. We visited the Kihei Food Truck park several times and had great food. But if you are looking for a condo with upscale restaurants nearby this isn't it. We would have had to drive to a neighboring town for that. It was a really great stay and we thank the owners for making this condo rental available.

Great Value for Maui

We stayed for a few nights to extend a corporate event at a resort in Wailea. It was a great value for two couples. The condo was clean and well equipped. A short walk to the marina gave us lots of places to eat and explore. We reccomend the General Store for breakfast and sandwiches. The complex is next to a public park that was quite lively. It made for good people watching but we did sacrifice some quiet.

Beach was great for walking!

The layout of the unit was excellent and it was well equipped for beach activities. The kitchen was one of the best equipped rental units we have ever stayed in. The unit was very clean. Living room chairs were very tired but beds were comfy and bathrooms nice.Great view from balcony/lanai to the beach. Our only surprise was there was a public camp ground directly beside the unit and at one point a bouncy castle was erected almost under our lanai as it is right on the property line. Hawaiians are free to camp on any public beach however we found it to be a bit of an eye sore as it did take away from beach view.

Really nice property!

This is one of the nicest condos that we have rented in Hawaii. We really like to cook when we are in a condo and this one was very well appointed. Had everything we needed and everything was in good condition. The view was beautiful the property was very well-maintained and the beach was lovely. We will definitely be back. The only two downsides were the fact that the stairs to the master bedroom are fairly narrow and steep so could present an issue if anybody has mobility issues. The other was the laundry room. Very old machines requiring an app for payments that did not work very well. Otherwise an awesome location!

Great location - amazing view

We had an amazing stay And enjoyed walking the beach every morning and evening. The turtles are out playing all day long. The unit had everything that we could possibly need and is situated in a wonderful Small complex. It does not feel touristy at all. We enjoy this area because of the convenience of getting to all the different parts of the island as well as the adjacent beach that is very tranquil. We highly recommend!

Great waterfront location just steps from the sand on a great beach

Check-in process was super easy with a code box. All instructions were clear and easy to follow. All electronics in the unit worked and easy to use. We loved the decoration and style of the place as well as how the location was ideal with ocean views and literally steps from the sand on a great beach and a great neighborhood. We also enjoyed using the pool with ocean views. I would stay here again any time.

Beach Access a Plus

Although this is not the prettiest part of Maui, the direct beach access came as a nice surprise and the pool was kept very clean. Because of how the condo is situated, people will want to keep the curtains shut to keep out the sun. The upstairs gets quite warm and it is necessary to have four fans runing, including the AC uint while you sleep.

My husband and I stayed with two friends at this place and enjoyed our time here! Was nice to walk to a beach right nearby. We did have to drive 15-20 minutes to go to the major beaches/nice restaurants that we wanted to go to, but we had a rental car so it wasn't a big deal. Overall we had a positive experience!

4 adults stayed, we had a great time! This location is perfect for all ages. The water is calm in this area, very quiet. There’s a park next door with light activity, usually locals fishing. The unit was well equipped with everything you need. Boogie boards, beach towels, kitchen supplies and pantry under the stairs. There is so much sea life right outside, we saw many humpback whales, and snorkeled right out front with turtles. The communication with the host was very easy. We recommend staying and would return.

Quiet condo and beach

Loved staying here, but would have appreciated a better description of the upstairs area. Stairs are steep and very narrow, with several changes in elevation to get to bathroom, closet and windows. As someone who has a mild disability, stairs are not usually a big deal, but the uneven floor levels and the narrowness of the stairs presented a problem every time I used them. Otherwise would recommend this for other friends.

Great Condo with a great location.

We enjoyed the condo, it is nice and well equipped. I would stay there again without hesitation. I don't care for direct sunlight so I would prefer the lanai didn't face East, once the sun moves by mid-day its great. I am sure others would find this to be a great asset.
