Maui Kai 807 is a small boutique oceanfront studio condo in West Maui on North Kaanapali Beach.

After a busy day of sightseeing, shopping, laying on the beach and swimming in the warm ocean waters, you will return to the comforts and conveniences of your Hawaiian home. You may wish to take a refreshing shower before enjoying a fresh pineapple mai-tai on the private lanai while watching a gorgeous sunset.

If you wish to continue enjoying the sunset afterglow from the lanai instead of going out to one of the many fine restaurants a short drive away, you can perhaps grill fresh mahi-mahi or ahi steaks on the gas barbecues in the swimming pool area or prepare your own meal using fresh local foods purchased from the large grocery store in the shopping center or at the local Farmers Market which are a short walk away. Our kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities for making a gourmet meal: refrigerator with filtered drinking water and ice maker, full-size stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, all of the kitchen utensils and appliances a foodie could desire and a vast array of local and Asian cuisine cookbooks.

You may never leave the lanai! The views of the brilliant blue ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai are spectacular. Nowhere in Hawaii but West Maui can you get such a view. During whale season you can use the binoculars in our condo to watch the humpback whales from your front row seats on the lanai, some as close as 100 yards offshore!

Our recently remodeled, 8th floor, oceanfront studio has been lovingly decorated to reflect the Hawaiian spirit. It includes all the amenities of a home away from home: daily maid service, central air conditioning, TV, DVD, DVR, VCR, CD player, iPod docking station, FREE high speed cable Internet connection, queen bed, easy chairs, dining table and desk for your laptop computer, all with views of the ocean and the spectacular sunsets. Whether you are looking for a brief or lengthy stay on Maui, our unit will provide you with all the comforts you desire.

The private oceanfront balcony allows you to sit and dine outside with complete and total privacy from your neighbors while enjoying the unparalleled 180-degree view of the islands of Lanai and Molokai.

In our oceanfront studio you will fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the ocean waves. If quiet and privacy are as important to you as they are to us then you will revel in the peace and quiet that Maui Kai’s concrete block construction provides.

Maui Kai has a lovely heated pool, Jacuzzi and gas barbecues. The pool area has picnic tables and outdoor furniture for hosting meals with friends and family. Inside the pool cabana is a full kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, stove/oven and bathrooms. The cabana also has a lending library, ping pong table and dart board. It also has a FREE computer with a high-speed Internet connection for checking your email, surfing the web and printing your boarding passes.

Shortly before you leave for your stay in Maui Kai 807, I will email you my Local Girl's Guide to Maui. The guide started as a list I gave my friends of my favorite restaurants on Maui but over the years I've added information about my favorite local foods, where to buy them, farmers markets, beaches, snorkeling spots, hikes, excursions and of course shopping!

The guide offers my unique perspective as a local Hawaii girl who has grown up, lived in and experienced the islands her entire life. I normally charge $10 for the guide but if you book our unit I will give it to you for FREE! Even if you don't book our unit, please feel free to contact me about purchasing the guide.

    • We had a great stay at the Maui Kai, #807 at the end of September. We were able to snorkle almost daily within 1/4 mile of the Maui Kai. Many nights we got fresh fish, grilling it at the pool barbeque, and ate watching the sunset between Molokai and Lanai on our balcony. It was a perfect retreat that we were able to stretch to 2 weeks because of the reasonable price. The unit was clean and fresh with a touch of "old Hawaii" decoration. The view was timeless. Another plus, the owner's recommendations for food, activities, groceries, beaches, "A Local Girl's Guide to Maui" available with the unit.

    • We have been visiting Maui for over 15 years and found a "home away from home" at the Maui Kai. The location is great because it is right on the water with every unit facing west, it is a perfect location for sunsets and whale watching. There is good swimming and snorkeling right out in front and a few world class surfing and snorkeling spots very close by. Restaurants and grocery shopping are within walking distance and Lahaina is a short drive away. More restaurants (both high end and affordable) are within a few miles. The Maui Kai itself is quiet and private with a generous and helpful staff. We have stayed in a number of studio units but our favorite is 807. We like being on the 8th floor for better views and the room itself is very comfortable with Hawaiian themed art and furniture. All the appliances are new and the kitchen recently remodeled. (The kitchen is great so we don't have to spend as much money eating out -- a big advantage over the hotels.) Everything is super clean and well taken care of. We spend most of the time when were not in the water sitting on the lanai looking out at Molokai and the island of Lanai. The other thing we like about the Maui Kai is that it is reasonably priced especially considering it is right on the water. For us that means we can have a longer Maui vacation.

    • The stay at Maui Kai was one of the best and memorable stays of our life. It's without any doubt a perfect romantic getway for anyone. The owner of 807 - Donna arranged me another unit due to unavailabilty of 807 at that time, and gave me great discounts. She offered me her Local girl's guide to Maui/ Oahu for free (otherwise priced at $10 each) that i must say is incredible and a true Hawaaiian guide from a local perspective. It had all the information about activities, local food delights, places that you just wouldnt find anywhere else. A must to have local guide for anybody to see Hawaii from a local's perspective. The Maui Kai room had everything i could ever imagine + had FREE daily maid service,great amenities such as DVR, internet, iPod docking station,etc and 2 minutes distant from grocery stores. The lanai in the unit was just so spectacular that we would want to rush back to our room by sunset time to enjoy the mesmerising sunset views, and sunset meals right in our lanai.No other restaurant could offer us a more beautiful oceanfront dining than our own lanai. We still miss the sound of the ocean, listening to which right in our room, we would fall asleep and wake up. No doubt, Maui Kai has become my favourite place and gets my top recommendation to anyone. You need to be there to gets its feel. Thanks very much Donna for arranging such a beautiful unit for us, and for answering to all of our queries before the start of our trip. You had made our visit feel so very special and comfortable from the very moment i booked the unit through you.It gives me great pleasure to write a review for you and recommend your service highly to everyone - We just cant wait to get back to Maui Kai !

    • The Maui Kai is a great place to stay. We booked our stay through Donna, owner of unit 807. Although her unit was not available for our stay, Donna was able to book us into another very nice unit at a better rate than offered by the Maui Kai. Everything about the experience was wonderful: accomodations, staff, views, location etc. Another great benefit of booking through Donna is that she provides her Local Girl's Guide to Maui. This proved to be a valuable resource for good restaurants, shopping, beaches, etc. We will definitely stay at the Maui Kai again when we return! Thank you for making our great vacation that much better!

    • Maui is the place to go and Maui Kai Unit 807 is the place to stay. I've been staying at the Maui Kai for probably 30 years, but the last 5 or so I've stayed in Unit 807 because booking it on VRBO is such a good deal plus this unit has EVERYTHING !!! First off it is truly oceanfront. If you dropped a coin off the lanai it would probably land in the ocean. Being on the 8th floor the view is magnificent. During the day you can easily see the islands of Lanai and Molokai, watch fishing boats or cruise ships go by or look down and see surfers or windsurfers having fun or just gaze at people walking the beach. As the day ends you can see gorgeous sunsets, while at night you can take in the full moon dancing on the ocean. All of this without ever having to leave your room. No looking for a parking space or somebody blocking your view. Heck, you might even hae a Mia Tai while watching. As for 807 it has everything imaginable. The kitchen has more gadgets and stuff than I have in my own house. All the appliances are new and in good working order. Both the owner and management work hard to keep everything First Class. Another good thing about staying in 807 is it is a studio and not a one bedroom. This saves you about $50.00 a day plus booking thru VRBO rather than thru the office saves you another $50.00 per day for the exact same unit. So you are ahead $100.00 a day each and everyday you stay in this unit not including the 5th day free when that is in effect. In fact even if the one bedrooms and the studios were the same price I would pick the studio because at night you can hear the gentle waves of the ocean whereas in the one bedrooms you sleep mountian side away from the ocean Another good thing about the Maui Kai is it has one of the few heated pools on the island and a great Jacuzzi and one of my favorite thigs is the BBQ Grills which you can just turn on and cook your fresh fish or steak and eat it poolside or take it back up to your room, but either way no pots or pans to clean. If I could only go on vacation for just one week or one month a year I would always choose to go to Unit 807 at the Maui Kai because the unit itself is great, the views magnificent and the Aloha Spirit is always present. In addition you have a excellent location along with free front door parking, free local phone calls, free high speed internet etc. I feel you can't beat this deal nor find a better place to stay anywhere in Hawaii.

    • Like most, I did not think we could afford a Hawaii vacation especially with saving for an upcoming wedding. But let me tell you, you can and by booking with the Maui Kai #807; we saved so much MONEY! We got 10% off and the fifth night free so naturally we stayed for 10 days so we got two nights free. :)When we got there I fell in LOVE with the view and with Hawaii (the land, the people, the food)! The owners not only hooked my fiancé and I up with an excellent deal on the best place to stay in the island but also with the best guide that told us where the locals go for food, the best place to surf and snorkel(for free) and the best place to get souvenirs for our family. We saw dolphins outside our window, snorkeled/swam with a family of sea turtles, and actually stood up for the first time when we surfed. I loved that we were able to eat in or could walk to places nearby. We loved where we stayed and everyone (especially the Maui Kai staff) was just so friendly! We will definitely be back, most likely for our honeymoon, and will definitely be staying again at the Maui Kai#807!

    • WOW! the view from Maui Kai 807 are beyond amazing, every sunset was different and more amazing. My fiance and I stayed at Maui Kai 807 in June of 2009. The condo was great, clean, comphy bed, clean kitchen with everything you could imagine! I couldn't believe we got such a great deal! Maui Kai 807 is at the top of my list for any hotel/condo I have ever stayed at! We cant wait to book with them again, and again!

    • We LOVE the Maui Kai 807! This is the ultimate beachfront location away from the tourist crowds yet within minutes of so much. We swam and snorkeled with turtles and fish right in front of the building, and watched dolphins and great sunsets from our lanai. Being walking distance from grocery, cloting and souvenir shopping, snorkel gear rental, and many restaurants is a real plus! All the amenities and decor in this condo are the best, with fully furnished kitchen and more 'electronics' than WE needed during our vacation! The pool area and bbqs are great & well maintained. Both the owners of #807 and building staff provide wonderful service before and during your stay to ensure you have a great experience both on the property, in the 'neighborhood' and around Maui. We'll be back! (Our first trip was husband/wife meeting friends there. This June, our mid-20s sons and their sweeties decided to come along too! Great fun for all!)

    • Comment Text: Comment Text: We love Maui Kai #807 so much that we come back here every year. It's our escape from the stresses of everyday life! We wish we were there now. This beach front studio is equipped with everything that we could possibly need...a comfy bed and lounge chairs, a fully remodeled kitchen, internet access, cable tv and a private patio with breathtaking sunset views over the ocean between the islands of Lanai and Molakai. We have been so spoiled with all the whale watching available from the patio. We haven't needed binoculars. The beach in front of the Maui Kai is incredible, mainly because there's so much you can do, from sunbathing and sand-castle building, to snorkeling and surfing. Sunbathing at the Maui Kai pool is also fabulous! There's plenty of loungers and no crowds. You can even check your email wirelessly. One of best parts of the Maui Kai is the staff, they are so friendly and helpful. During our last visit, the maid left us a beautiful bouquet of native flowers for us to enjoy. The Maui Kai is so close to local eateries and grocery shopping....it's literally across the street. If we run out of our favorite drink (Passion Orange Guava "POG" with rum) or our favorite snacks (Maui Onion Chips, Portugese Sausage, Hawaiian tuna poke....I truly can't name all of them), all we have to do is walk a couple of minutes. The local food at RVN...also 2 minutes away is also tasty. The Local Girl's Guide to Maui (provided by the Maui Kai #807 owners) also introduced us to some scrumptous local fare. Da Kitchen in Kahalui (where the airport is) has incredibly tasty kahalua pork and loco moco. Lastly, the Maui Kai is only a 5 minute drive away from Lahaina...a fantastic town with great food and shopping, surf lessons, people watching, and free lap swimming at the city pool. Can you tell we love Maui Kai #807! and Maui! We can't wait to go back! We know you'll feel the same way when you come and stay!

    • We could not believe we were overhanging the ocean with spectacular views of Lanai and Molokai. Every sunset was something you would see in postcards of Hawaii. The facilities were great as was the guide they left for us which gave us an insiders view of Maui. We loved the local take out places of local foods which included fish with capers, lomi lomi, and lots of pupu pupus. We also discovered the mai tai formula and pineapple corer along with an ample supply of tiny umbrellas.
