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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Views were amazing. Couldn't possibly get closer the to beautiful beach. Location was very convenient to restaurants and shops. Thank you for the stay.
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.
Property is in an amazing location right on the beach, with a lanai that almost juts out over the water. Views (especially sunsets) are wonderful, would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is just as listed in the description. Very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. Even some snorkeling gear, beach chairs and a cooler. It does not have a big fancy pool, but the beach access is easy and beautiful. The snorkeling right off the beach was spectacular. Lots of beautiful fish and turtles! The view from the balcony was breathtaking! Would definitely stay here again.
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.
Would have paid much more for less of a view at one of the big hotels in the same area. We were too late for whale watching, however, could see lots of sea turtles from the Lanai. The front room ocean views were wonderful and the bedroom view of the mountains is not to go unnoticed. This is a very nice place to stay and hosts are easy to work with.
Only problem was no hot water for almost half our stay. We did improvise by turning on the faucets not being used to cold and got hot on the one you needed.
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.
