Amazing balcony for whale watching! We saw whales multiple times without ever leaving the unit. The ocean views are stunning and made our stay extra special.
This was the perfect spot for my partner and I. It had everything that we needed for the 2 of us. Quaint and quiet and the most Beautiful spot with amazing views of the ocean and sunsets. Definitely would recommend to couples!
Loved falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing. Great location for exploring. Easy walk down to Black Rock for excellent snorkeling or to Whalers Village for shopping. Thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay!
Condo was great. You can't beat the view. We saw turtles, whales, stingrays and even a monk seal. Love the location!!!! Lots of amenities within walking distance.
My husband came to golf, but I came to see whales. And I saw a lot of whales. I sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed all the whales. While you are not up close like sea world, this was way better than a boat tour. I do recommend a pair of binoculars though. Some came fairly close but most were a little farther out.The bed could be a little softer and the shower was hot or cool only. Overall the condo Was great. We would rent again.
Sunsets, whales, extraordinary views all day. Unit has been very well renovated, Maui Kai has been around since 1970 I believe, everything functioned well, clean, no issues, of particular note were the sliders were cleaned as it is a million $$$ view.
The veiw was amazing. It had high end appliances, which made it easier when cooking and a nice refrigerator. Everything was clean when we arrived and it also had two beach chairs, a boogy board, and two small coolers that we used for out drinks. The area was close to almost everthing. Overall we were very happy.
Truly enjoyed the stay. The facility is well maintained. Everything worked fine. The view and environment is great. Lot of âsmallâ items were supplied, such as beach towels and toys, sunscreenâŠ. Thanks a lot.
Very nice one bedroom condo in a corner unit with great views of the ocean and whales. The shower was really nice and the kitchen was well stocked. The only negative is the property, it is in need of some upgrades and the pool area is definitely not impressive. Also do not talk to the people in the office, they were very rude.
Exactly as advertised. Saw literally hundreds of whales from the lanai. Short walk to Duke's for Hula Pie. Short drive to Sea House for breakfast (Haleakala pancakes). Food truck court right out front of the building. We grilled fresh fish at the pool from the Fish Market less than a half-mile away. This corner unit feels much larger and bright and open than others in the building. Next time we come back to Maui, it'll be here.
We chose this condo for its views and were not disappointed. The corner lanai looks out over ocean and islands. Sunsets were remarkable. Views from inside were great as well. Kitchen was clean and well equipped. Bedroom had a comfortable bed and was completely quiet. Plenty of towels and basic supplies are provided including dish soap, dishwasher tabs, detergent, paper towels. Nearby elevator made carrying suitcases and supplies easy. Plenty of (free) parking. A winner!
The pictures don't do this apartment justice. My wife and I spent our honeymoon in room 901 and would not have it any other way. We would spend our mornings watching sea turtles bath in the crystal clear water, in the afternoon as the waves came in we body boarded just outside the hotel, and at night we would enjoy wine while looking at bright stars over the ocean. Hotel was clean and stocked with plenty of towels and cookware. There is a grocery store within walking distance of Maui Kai that will have everything you need. Snorkeling was spectacular, again, just right outside of the hotel. The owner was great and everything was as described and better. We will never forget our experience and would definitely encourage others to stay here!
Perfect spot for two, but close family members would fit in as well. Views are spectacular! There is easy walking distance to eateries of all sorts and even a grocery store! You could walk to nice swimming beaches. We could spot turtles and a monk seal from the Lanai. Since our trip was mid-May, there were no whales to observe. We appreciated the lack of crowds of to many tourists during our stay. ( not deserted, just relaxed and pleasant)
The kitchen was well-equipped with basics. Towels and beach chairs were available. The bed was comfortable.
We had 2 days with beautiful rainbows: one over the beautiful fields and mountains behind the unit ( like from the bedroom and back balcony and one from the lanai as the sun was rising. It stretched clear over Lanaii to Molokai. It was amazing!
The property was nice. Can't beat the beautiful views. We couldn't get the tv to work and asked the owner for help with this and his reply was to mess with the wires behind the tv. When I'm on vacation i'm not interested in fixing tvs. Also there was no broom in the unit and the vacuum didn't keep the sand in as the canister. It wouldn't stay shut and kept emptying out. The shag area rug is also quite filthy. The bathroom was nice. Great shower. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen had all conveniences. I would stay here again if they fix the tv and get a broom and new rug.
Need to supply baking a sheet and hot pads in the kitchen.
Fan would only turn on at high speed and remote didn't seem to work to control it. I sent an email to the property manager to let them know we arrived late, but never heard back. There wasn't any form in the room for check in/registration as indicated would be. Front desk said they don't work with VRBO units.
Great Location and great view
Nasty dark bathroom, would prefer a normal toilet rather than a bidet style. didn't feel sanitary
old worn bed linens
no practical storage for suitcases
could not use kitchen due to infestation of small spiders/ants
dirty old floor rug stored in bedroom closet
sliding door fell apart and we had to cancel dinner plans to wait for repairman who although very nice, had forgotten that we had called...he seemed overworked
Some resident of the building were clearly unhappy about there being short term renters in their building so at times we felt unwelcome
Reference to a cooler and snorkel gear should be disregarded as those items should be replaced
Hosts were dismissive about our concerns
Let me start by stating that my wife and I had a great time and the condo was adequate. The pictures and description make it sound a bit more luxurious than it really is. First, the pros: The view is unbeatable. Best part of the entire stay. The condo itself is not upscale. The dishwasher is on it's last legs. The HD TV only broadcasts Analog signals, so it doesn't appropriately fit the screen. Everything seemed a little "worn". Stains on the carpet, the bed squeeked everytime you moved, the bathroom is dark. Probably being a bit too critical, but the advertisement set the expectations higher. All that being said, we had a great time and the condo fit our needs for the week.
The best views on Maui. Look straight out at Molokai and Lanai not out the side of a building or across another unit. Pull-down shades for full views out front and side windows.
