Absolutely Oceanfront-Penthouse Corner-$199

We had a little glitch when we checked in. We called & it was taken care of immediately. We couldn't have asked for better service. Cynthia did an excellent job cleaning the unit & making it look fantastic. Thank you Cynthia! The unit checked off the most important boxes for us: clean/comfortable bed, great shower pressure in the shower, wonderful linens, plenty of free parking, & clean. There are lots of extras. Tons of hangers in the closet, an amazing telescope, toiletries in the bathroom, & kitchen supplies including a new sponge & dish soap. They even had a nice lavender hand soap in the kitchen. We can't speak to the air conditioning because we never used it. We loved having the windows open to hear the ocean. The fridge was spotless without anything left from the previous guests, which we appreciate. The pool area looks like its all been updated. The pool & jacuzzi are tiled, deck chairs were comfortable, & the pool house was very clean. We have stayed at the Maui Kai many years ago, glad to see they've done a great job maintaining the property.

I lived in the Lahaina area from 2003- 2016 until I moved to Oahu. This was my first time back to Maui and came with my fiance who wanted me to show her all the places and introduce her to all the people I've been ranting about for over 2 years now.

The Maui Kai is perfectly situated near everything we wanted to do. The suite was awesome. Dora especially enjoyed leaving the sliding doors open at night to let the sound of the crashing waves lull us to sleep. It rained pretty hard on Tuesday and some water came through the side window but it did not deter us at all from our stay.

Thank you Cody Coffey for an amazing stay! Many Mahalos

Chad and Dora!

Unit is as advertised with fabulous views. Able to watch whales from the balcony, and from the dining table. Also saw seal waddle up onto beach and sun for a day. Convenient to grocery store, and to restaurants.

The pros- This condo has a beautiful view and kitchen appliances for all your cooking desires. Deck furniture is comfy for watching whales, dolphins, monk seals and turtles, which we did get to see them all. The couch is comfortable for sitting. The building is in a good location for walking to the grocery store, eating out and getting to the beach walk. The pool area is nice and well maintained. We watched some of the luau next door from the bedroom window.

The cons-the ac does cool, but I spent 2 weeks of sleepless nights due to the noise of the ac which sounded like someone slamming a cabinet door every time it cycled off. This has been reviewed before and hasn’t been repaired. The bed rattles when there is any movement. I stuffed a towel behind the headboard to fix most of the noise. The rest of the squeaks and squawks are due to the type of foundation it has or a missing bed slat. (There was one in the closet) We had an electrical problem while there (GFI circuits kept tripping) which required the owners maintenance personnel to be there for 2 hours. They didn’t fix the problem and came back for another 2 hours. Maintenance man decided that it was due to a malfunctioning toaster and the toaster was replaced. Problem fixed. The closet door in the bedroom doesn’t slide. The top drawer in the bathroom is broken and has been written about in a previous review, still not repaired. It falls off its track when opened. There was a scum on the refrigerator that when I saw it, I thought there was something wrong with the finish on it. After several days of looking at it, I decided to try the sponge and it cleaned it off. It was just dirty. The bathroom floor needs a good scrubbing. I shouldn’t have to notify anyone to come clean after we arrive. It should be clean when we get there.

Once upon a time this condo was probably a very nice condo, but now it needs some TLC to live up to the owners description.

As of today, 15 days after checkout, our damage deposit has not been refunded and owner has not responded to my inquiry.

My husband really enjoyed our 8 day stay in this unit. It was super clean and came with all the kitchen gear, dish soap,dishwasher liquids, trash bags. The bathroom had plenty of toiletries and bath towels, in the closet in the bedroom there were 3 towels for the beach as well. From other travelers theres even spices in the cabinet and unused travel shampoo/conditioners if you run out of the ones the condo owner provides! Theres also a hall closet of tons of gear for the beach. The view is incredible and never got old, the sunsets when it wasn't cloudy were amazing from the patio or the beach just steps away, the beach next to the condos was never too busy and the water was beautiful. Location is GREAT, we found ourselves on front street everyday and it was incredibly easy to get to everything, even to the north shore from here. Parking was always available, check in and check out was effortless and everyone we ran into while walking around the condo complex was incredibly friendly. The cleaning crew arrived and we were just finishing up getting our stuff ready and they were very nice and let us take a few extra minutes before they came in. Overall we had an incredible experience and would never hesitate to book this property again.
