MAUI OCEANFRONT CONDOMINIUM...PREMIUM STUDIO... Third Floor.
Note: Please read our Guest Reviews
Prime third floor location provides privacy and the best view of ocean surf, whales and sea turtles. Instead of waking up in the mornings to four walls in a tiny one bedroom, in our premium quality studio condo you can turn your head and enjoy the breathtaking views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai and the West Maui ocean.
Make your reservation on our web site listed below the calendar link at the bottom of this listing.
Our air-conditioned lanai provides a cozy comfortable place to enjoy entertaining, reading or whale watching even on hot afternoons, and is always the best spot to see the incredible Maui sunsets. Maui Kai 306 is one of the few condos at the Maui Kai that has had the partition removed between the living area and the lanai, increasing the living area dramatically and allowing guests to enjoy the views from the ocean-front lanai in air conditioned comfort. Or, throw open the wide lanai windows to feel the trade winds and hear the waves breaking on the beach below.
A comfortable, romantic, Tommy Bahamas king-size bed offers sleeping accommodations for two. Enjoy eating-in using our fully equipped kitchen, or the gas BBQs next to the cabana and pool.
WiFi and cable modem are provided for computer users.
The Bose stereo has an ipod/iphone connection.
Swim, surf, boogie board, snorkel and splash in the ocean on the beach below and adjacent to the condo. Enjoy the views from the lanai of sea turtles feeding in the waters, humpback whales (best time is from December through mid-April)and spinning dolphins.
Feel free to contact us for more photos or information.

We stayed in this Maui Kai condo for a week in Jan 2012, and loved every minute. The ocean views are unbeatable. We have stayed at other condos on Maui, but if you enjoy watching whales, enjoy the sounds of the surf, and enjoy watching amazing sunsets, then this is your place! The unit is spotlessly clean (I rate it 5 of 5 on cleanliness), the owners have furnished it with many extras for comfort (beach gear for snorkeling, beach chairs) and cooking (oils, rice, spices, etc.) and the furnishings (especially the bed) are very comfortable. The Maui Kai is a small resort (one building with 11 stories) and therefore has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere. Very different from the typical "high-rise condos" around the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back to this Maui Kai unit.

You know a place is great when it feels like home. That was our experience with this condo. Everything you need - just walk to the grocery store across the street and you're set. This is our second time in the building over the Christmas holidays and this studio surpassed our ground-level experience the first time around. We rented a car that time, but the location and proximity to stores and bus stop really meant we did not feel stranded without one this year. Views were great, roaring ocean was soothing and everything in the condo was comfortable and top-notch. Dave the owner was very responsive and answered any question we may have had - we would definitely recommend this condo to friends - in fact, we already have!

You won't find a view any better than at Maui Kai. The room is perfect. Everything you will need for the perfect vacation. The view of the mountains from the front door is great as the trade winds fill the condo with cool fresh air. Great upgrades throughout.

The view of the ocean from this condo is unbelievable! The location is great. The condo is tastefully furnished and has a very comfortable bed. There's a nice flat screen tv and dvd player if that's your thing. Great Bose system with jack for MP3 players. The pool is located behind the condo so it does not have an ocean view, but it is a nice pool. There's a very large resort next door that can be a little noisy from the outside, but is not noisy from within the condo at all. You simply can't get closer to the ocean than this. We felt so fortunate to have such a wonderful place to celebrate a very special time in our lives. You won't be disappointed by this beautiful condo.

Maui Kai: The Best Place to Stay on Maui!

Stayed at Maui Kai from August 15-25, 2011. This condo is PERFECT for a couple. The owners have recently upgraded the condo and it's furnishings and have enclosed the lanai, and the condo is FULLY equipped with everything that you will need for a wonderful vacation. Very reasonably priced too. Close to the beach (the closest of any building on Maui) and to shopping. Plenty of free self parking next to condo. THE best place to stay on Maui!

My wife and I visited this condo for a spring getaway. It was wonderful, and I would recommend it to almost anyone (keep in mind, you really need to be two people or less for this condo to work, as it is a studio with a King bed...a very comfortable King bed). We watched whales and dolphins play from our window. The sunsets from the unit were incredible - the photos on the VRBO listing are very representative of the view. It looks like some people have complained about the volume of the crashing waves, but this was actually a positive for my wife and I. We enjoyed the sound and found it very relaxing (and felt that, with the lanai windows fully closed, the sound was fairly minimal for those who are more sensative). It was nice to have so much within walking distance from the condo - we rented a car for only 4 of our 7 days (saving us probably close to $200). That said, it was worth renting a car for some of the time to see the road to Hana, Lahaina, etc. The grocery store was within walking distance, as were some decent-to-good restaurants. We also enjoyed that the Maui Kai is a much smaller building than many of the mega resorts around it - we got to know many other visitors quite well during our stay, and everyone was so friendly. That said, many large resorts are within easy walking distance (you can go next door to Ka'anapali beach club for happy hour and enjoy reasonable drinks with a view). The last thing I will note is that the condo's owners are great to work with. They are responsive to questions, fair (including timely return of full security deposit as long as you treat the unit with respect), and flexible whenever possible. They are also a great source of information regarding local restaurants and activities.

My husband and I did our homework and landed on the Clayton's Maui Kai condo - what a great find! We were impressed from the minute we opened the front door and saw the ocean view...and from there we found that David and Cathy had thought of everything. We were there for a week and their recommendations for activities and restaurants were spot on. And they had all the ammenities we needed to cook, relax, head to the beach, snorkel, etc. I told my husband that this trip woudl be our once-in-a-lifetime experience - and after our week in Maui, in a beautiful condo, my husband insists we'll be back. And I hope he's right! Thanks, David and Cathy, for making it a relaxing and stress-free experience. You're great Maui ambassadors!

My wife and I just visited Maui and stayed in this unit for 6 nights. It was without a doubt one of the best locations that we stayed in. We travel to Maui at least 6 times per year and found this location to be private and very easy for coming and going including walking to Ka'anapali Resort area. Would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect getaway!

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful condo during Thanksgiving 2010. We usually stay in a one or two bedroom unit and we were hesitant to choose a studio. Wanting to scale back on expense, we kept returning to the VRBO page for this unit and, eventually, the photos of the unit drew us in and we booked it. I was still nervous up until we walked in the front door. What a beautifully appointed condo this is! Even though it is a studio it is very spacious and super comfortable. We really appreciated the updates and the Tempurpedic mattress! The view is spectacular, we felt like we were in an overwater bungalow because the unit is so close to the water. The owners have stocked this unit with everything you could possibly need for a day at the beach. The gift basket and personal touches throughout the unit and the booking process is the very reason we choose VRBO properties that are managed by the owner rather than managed by a management company. The owners were wonderful to work with as was their local person on island who we happened to bump into. I would definitely recommend this unit without hesitation!!

This is our 2nd time back to this wonderful condo. Loved it just as much this time. I have nothing to add as far as recommendations to improve the property - you've thought of everything. We love hearing the waves at night from the window near our bed. We stayed in a 1BR condo on the Big Island after checking out and we missed this studio - we were closer to the ocean! Loved the whales - also the snorkeling outside our condo was just as good as at Black Rock. Thanks for the welcome gift basket!
