Beachfront Studio Gorgeous Views-So close to the water

This was our first VCBO, so we weren’t exactly sure what to expect. The location was nice & quiet! The pool area was lovely.

The beach area was being worked on while we were there & re-opened the day before we left. It looked to be a nice area, but we didn’t have a chance to use it.

We enjoyed the beach chairs & cooler that were in the unit for our use, when going to a near-by beach.

The bathroom is small & seemed to be, not quite completely finished.? (The floor tile next to the toilet & painting around the mirror. The brown paneling didn’t seem to go along with the decor of the nice tile floor/shower) When we were both getting around at the same time, one of us had to get around in the kitchen area, there was not room for 2 people in the bathroom.

Kitchen was very well equipped.

Would have loved a King size bed over the queen in the unit. (There was plenty of room to put a king size bed) Bed was a little more on the soft side than firm. Neither one of us slept the greatest, but we did love the sound of the ocean just outside our room!

We could have used some written direction in using the TV remote, but we were able to figure it out.

Rowena at the front desk was so pleasant, a real sweetheart!

The owner was easy to work with, via emails & prompt with corresponding.

There were just a couple small things that needed attention, but we just left a note for the cleaning company that was coming in after we left.

The area was beautiful! We loved driving to Lahaina & trying out fun eating places & shopping. We’ll have to save up ($) to go back again, but this was for our 30th anniversary, so it was a special trip. Until we meet again.....great time & sweet memories!

This is an old building but clean and well kept and you can't beat the view. It's a cosy bachelor suite, my wife and I had no problem staying 10 days, the one minor issue we had with a door was cleared up quickly. The bed was comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed and the WiFi was rock solid. We appreciated the beach chairs and the little cart for hauling our fins etc etc to the many beaches close by. There were boogie boards and snorkel gear to use. We liked the three stairs out our patio doors to the main deck. Errosion has washed out the beach surrounding the back deck there was really only beach access off the north end unless you were a goat. There are so many great spots for world class snorkeling very close to this centrally located complex it was a treat to head out each day to discover them. Grocery stores, farmers markets, restaurants, Snorkel Bob's, and retail stores very close by. Yes it's an older building but we were comfortable, we had a great time and didn't break the bank.

Our stay wasn't anything less than wonderful. The condo was fully stocked with all the household items and beach attire/activities beyond what we expected. There were nice beach chairs and an umbrella in which we used to our full advantage so that really was a nice surprise. The bed was pretty comfy too. Cleaning staff and property workers were so friendly and accommodating. The pool was the cleanest I have ever been in.

The only two things I will add that were mildly less than ideal is there were some tiny ants that were crawling around in the kitchen so we didn't use the stove/utensils. We were most excited about having the ocean access so close to us but there was construction (which the property owner did disclose) however, we were told by the property management that we were not allowed to step off our stairs.

Overall it was a pleasant experience and would highly recommend Maui Kai.

Condo was as exactly as described. It was clean when we arrived, the kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and we loved having the misc beach items available for use. The air conditioning was a bonus - we didn't need to use it often (the fresh Hawaiian breeze was enough) but when we did, it cooled off quickly. The absolute best thing about this condo was the spectacular ocean view! It's literally steps away from the ocean wall and beach. Every morning I sat out front with my coffee as I watched whales spout and admired the beautiful rainbows over the water. We watched several sunsets from the condo (which was amazing!!) and we LOVED being able to drift off to sleep every night listening to the crashing waves. Our week was super relaxing and exactly what we were looking for on our trip to Maui!

The staff on property were very friendly. The office staff could be nicer. We weren't treated well at first. First impressions are so important.
