The property was very good. It was clean and well equipped. The environment was wonderful as it directly overlooked the ocean. Whales and turtles were plentiful. I highly recommend this property.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We want to note that the power and water disruption referenced was the result of a Maui County Public Safety Power Shutoff initiated by the utility company due to high wind conditions, not a long‑term or unresolved issue at the home. These safety measures are outside the control of property owners and affect entire regions at once. We stay true to our commitment to be available for our guests around the clock, before, during, and after their stay, and our team remained accessible to share updates and assist as best as possible while restoration depended on improved weather. Providing dependable homes, honest communication, and respectful Maui hospitality remains at the core of how we operate. -Albert M., Maui Paradise Properties 🌺

The location was perfect for everything. Eating out. Snorkeling off the beach. Listening to the waves. I recommend trying a cinnamon roll from Papi’s Ohana but expect a wait and trying a meal at Java Jazz for an eclectic experience. Overall it was a memorable time which I hope to repeat in the future at this property.Mahalo Cheryl

The condo was exactly as described. Everything was spotless when we arrived. The added outdoor space was a definite bonus. Loved having the outdoor eating area and lounge chairs. The condo complex is a little outdated, but condo 201 had updated appliances and furniture. We also loved being able to open the sliding glass doors and listen to and view the ocean. We didn’t use the pool or other facilities, but everyone there was very nice and helpful. Close to many restaurants and also a cute food truck area. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this condo to everyone looking to stay in this area.

My husband and I really enjoyed the lanai - early mornings and cocktail time. I probably misread info regarding washer and dryer, but they are not located in the unit. It is coin laundry on same floor - past elevators. Overall an enjoyable stay, plenty of room (small bathroom). And well appointed. Would stay again.

This is the second time we have stayed in the Maui Kai condos and we are hooked! This unit was really beautiful. We stayed for a month and the lanai area is perfect for when you have visitors or guests for dinner. I hesitate to say how great it is because it’s getting harder to get a unit here! Maui Kai is literally on the water and there is snorkeling and paddle boarding, just steps away. We saw an octopus, a ray, an eel, and many fish while snorkeling, and the whales in front of the unit are too many to count! A true hidden gem.

The location of the condo was unmatched - right on the beach with amazing sunset views and walkable to some really great restaurants and amenities. The patio/balcony is where we spent most of our time, listening to the waves and basking in the sun. Everything about the property was just what we were hoping for in our first trip to Maui. Highly recommend. We already can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic location and amenities. beach was nice and not too crowded. Waves so loud you could hear them as you fall asleep in the back bedroom. Very clean. Kitchen had everything we needed to make some meals in and communal grills were great. Pool was nice and quiet too. Balcony- can't beat it and windows to see the water for the entire stay.

Sunsets, whale watching, and private outdoor dining
The sunsets are great from this property. The palm tree off of the deck sets the tone for a relaxing evening after a day of activities. Open the windows and let the ocean waves and breezes put you sleep. Whales were spotted everywhere! The place is just the right size for a family of 3-4. The deck is great for dining and also can be used for light exercise or meditation in the morning. This one makes the short list in Maui.

We, too, feel so lucky to have this piece of paradise. We are glad you enjoyed the amenities and the beaches too! We can't wait to have you come and stay with us again soon! Jan and the Maui Paradise Properties team!
This condo is well appointed with everything you need, in a great location and responsive property management. It was very quiet and parking was easy. The lanai is awesome with a table, chairs, couch and two lounge chairs. The condo is showing some wear and tear, but the decor is cute. We did see one dying cockroach on the floor – the cleaning staff likely sprays for bugs when they come clean (& we saw bug killer in the cupboard. The lanai has many birds flying over and so a little bird poop did keep reappearing on the chairs and decking. The bedroom is not ocean facing so no relaxing waves to put you to sleep at night. But the family room and lanai have full ocean views. Within walking distance, you will find a good food truck court, a supermarket, a restaurant and more.None of the critiques would not prevent us from staying there again, but I think it’s helpful to read reviews that are honest.
The unit has spectacular panoramic windows overlooking the ocean and beach. The windows and screens open wide to allow fresh air and sounds of the sea into the apartment. The location is great for accessing Kaanapali beach. The lanai off of the living space is huge, only two units in the building have that, and it's great for sunbathing, socializing, and watching the sunset. We had an issue with the room safe, but the property management was very responsive in helping us get our belongings out before we had to leave to catch our flight. Overall, a 5 star rating.

We stayed at the Maui Kai previously so we knew its right on the beach for the morning walks, great pool area, small so easy access to parking and the unit, however, the actual condo was excellent. The lanai on the side which was private and flanked by palm trees, added a whole other dimension to our stay. Yoga in the mornings and great rainbow and turtle viewing. We ate all our home meals there and it was well furnished and had everything we needed. Not too "themey" yet with an island vibe on the inside. Within easy walking distance of a grocery store, food trucks including an excellent place to grab morning coffee, Java restaurant and Duke's. All in all an excellent holiday largely because of where we stayed. AND excellent communication with property management.

This was the fourth of four weeks in HI.
Great apartment, literally ON THE OCEAN. As soon as we opened the door we saw whales.
Comfortable bed. Great shower. Nice and fully equipped kitchen. Easy parking. Nice pool and hot tub. Not the most luxurious building but it has everything and the location is great. Loved it. Coming back next year.
Almost forgot to mention the beach chairs and cooler. Thanks for including.
The best ice cream in HI is just a few miles down the road in Lahaina. Island Cream. We went every day.

We had a great time in the condo. Very easy access to the beach, clean, and the deck was amazing. Kitchen was stocked with some seasonings and everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals at the condo. We loved the ocean views during the day and opening the front windows to hear the peaceful sound of waves crashing in the evening. Closing the windows kept it quiet and peaceful inside. The lanai (outside deck) was splendid, and we enjoyed it but having coffee in the morning, lunch, and drinks outside where we could watch the sunset, see whales, turtles out front, and fish jumping.
Chairs and basic umbrellas in the beach bin were a great bonus. Bathroom was simple, clean, and had all the necessary functions. Bedroom was clean, quiet, option for fan or A/C, spacious closet with plenty of room for suitcases and clothes. Condo is close to nearby supermarket.
Easy walks on the beach. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

First, we love watching whales and the view from this condo is AMAZING! Every time we looked out the window we saw whales...no exaggeration...if I took 30 seconds to scan the ocean I saw whales. Unit is small but very comfortable for a couple. The whole ocean side window wall opens up and you can just sit and enjoy the ocean. The lanai is also very nice and big!
No real beach directly in front but you can walk down the shoreline to a long stretch of public beach that was not very crowded. Or cut thru to the public beach parking and hit the walkway that heads to the Kaanapali beach area. There is a large food truck area you will see as you drive in to the resort area. Good selection and easy walk. Also across from there is a shopping area. The pizza place has great gelato.
We hope to return to this unit again another whale watching season.
I have had a couple of weeks to reflect on our trip and the one thing I noticed from my family and I is we have not been the same since. This is our second trip to Maui (the first was without kids) and we stayed at the Maui Kai. I have to say we still miss it. When you live in Alaska, you start to appreciate vacations more because of the vast difference in temperatures throughout the year, that is 146 degrees difference in 6 months.
Our trip was great in many ways, but one thing to note is that the room we picked was the best choice we could have made for value, comfort, and family approval. The kids loved the private porch, the hours upon hours at the pool, and the ability to grill fantastic steaks on the provided grills. My wife loved the privacy and the fact that the room did not feel like a boring motel/hotel room.
Full disclosure: I debated leaving a review for this room for selfish reasons so it's not booked up when we come back, but that attitude would not have done the owners justice in the long run. Thanks for reading this, and I hope you enjoy it!

Check in was easy and property manager was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. Washer and dryer weren’t in the unit but it was quite convenient to have it on the same floor and just a few steps outside the front door. Our first night we slept with the windows open so we could hear the water outside. It did get quite loud and I was sorta over it after that, my husband wasn’t but he is a heavier sleeper. It was nice during the hours we were awake. The breeze. The sound of waves. It really was great. However at bedtime, We had the windows closed after that and it did the trick. Windows are a pretty good sound barrier. We were very comfortable with the ac in the unit. Only used it when we needed it. The breeze coming in and the fact we were out of the condo more than in the condo meant it wasn’t always needed. But definitely worked when we did use it. There was everything we needed in the kitchen.
Only cons, because, Even paradise has to have a con somewhere. I wish there was more bath towels. We washed ours but there was only a couple. The vacuum in the u it was a great idea. Sand always gets everywhere. But it didn’t work too well. The small broom was…. A small broom. A kitchen, house broom would have been a little
Better. The water comes right up to the sea wall. So no beach but it is a few steps to the right. Not a big deal. There is beaches everywhere!! Overall…. We would stay again. We absolutely would.

Aloha and Mahalo Nui. It was a pleasure to host you on your vacation. We loved that you enjoyed our condo. Thank you for visiting our beautiful island of Maui. Please come back and stay with us again. A Hui Hou! Until we meet again.
This unit is lovely and in a fabulous location if looking for proximity to the ocean/beach. We love the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean, so were delighted to be right at the edge of it all. The Maui Kai complex itself is rather dated, and the entry to this unit is unappealing and dark, but inside it’s bright, sunny and very well equipped. We never used the A/C because there’s such a wonderful breeze from the large front window. We lost count of the whales we saw and had fun snorkeling off the beach a short walk from the unit. Sea turtles and fish galore.
With such a happy report on the unit, why 3 stars instead of 5? We paid 50% more for this unit than others in the complex with the same view for one reason: the large lanai with unobstructed ocean view. Indeed, it was fabulous in the morning and afternoon - but at dusk cockroaches come out. The first night we noticed them as we sat out enjoying the evening breeze, and promptly went inside. The second night we bought roach spray and sprayed several (6) so we could stay outside. The third night we sprayed a few more feeling proud that we weren’t chased inside - and then my husband felt something crawling up his leg under his pants. He shook out a 2 inch cockroach and we went inside never to try again enjoying the evening breeze. Not being entomologists, this cast a pall over our enthusiasm for the unit. Over 39 years, we’ve traveled to many tropical locations around the world and never seen a cockroach at our lodging. This is not a “tropical thing”; it’s an infestation thing. I let the management company know when we left that there’s a nest or two under the lanai and they say they’ll send an exterminator. I can only hope they do, because until that’s taken care of it’s not worth the elevated cost for use of the lanai. They mentioned I should have let them know earlier in the week so they could do something about it, but frankly we weren’t interested in having a major fumigation effort happening while we were there, for health reasons as well as privacy ones.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maui Kai #201. The overall property is a bit dated, but unit #201 has been updated and was very comfortable. The property is close to the beach and a short walk or drive to amusements/restaurants etc. The 180 degree ocean views from the large Lanai and from the front room of the condo were exceptional!!! We saws whales jumping everyday during our stay. My wife and I were very careful with cleaning up after ourselves after eating, and with following the properties instructions regarding taking care of your trash, so ants were not a problem for us. I would stay at this property again if we ever returned to Maui. Thank you Maui Paradise Properties for your assistance during out stay.

Aloha Arthur and Mahalo Nui Loa for leaving us such a wonderful review! It was a pleasure to host you on your holiday vacation, and we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you again for visiting our beautiful island of Maui. Please come back and stay with us again! - Maui Paradise Properties
This was a wonderful place to call home for a couple of weeks. The bed was comfy, the kitchen adequately stocked and the lanai...my goodness the lanai! It was perfect for enjoying a meal, morning yoga or a kettlebell sesh, sunbathing, and a perfect seat to watch the sunset. The only constructive criticism I have is the blades on the ceiling fan were dusty and require some attention. Other than that our stay was perfect! Thank you for sharing your lovely space with us. We will certainly be back in the near future!
