Ocean-View Studio Suite with Easy Beach Access, Shared Pool & Hot Tub

Outstanding views of the ocean. Great to be walkable to the grocery store and the food truck court.

Yup, my wife's biggest fear in life was unlocked - cockroaches. It's honestly not overly surprising given how old, worn down, and rusty the building/unit is. The floors were quite dirty too. The host was easy to communicate with, but we didn't bother flagging the cockroach issue since it was discovered on our last night. The location is great right in front of the ocean (we saw some whales, which was cool). The cockroaches just ruined it at the end.

Right over the water. Great sunsets. Everything was perfect!

Whale watching extraordinary from lanai.

Great place. Nice view. Very comfortable. Tv did not work even after management chgd cable box. Need more plates. We had to do dishes every day as we ate in 3 meals a day and did not want to run dishwasher for so few dishes

We had a wonderful stay here! It was hard to leave the lanai!! We saw multiple whales & turtles daily and dolphins once too! The unit was comfortable and kitchen was nice to use. My only suggestion would be to stock the kitchen with soup bowls and salt and pepper.

We have stayed at Maui Kai for many years but before in the units managed by the in-house company and the units were always well maintained. . This was our first experience with Vacasa. We stayed in 2 different units - in both the glass shower doors had been broken and not replaced, there was clearly a lack of personal interest in the units. For example: in all the other units there were complete sets of glasses - in 507 there was 1 of each type of glass? 1 wine glass, 1 tall water glass, etc. Weird. The sliding glass door had a significant separation and air came through someone had shoved paper in the gap between the glass and the frame. In 508 we arrived and the toilet was plugged before we even got there - slow flush - we blew a day of our trip waiting for a plumber. So - not a good review. All bad maintenance on the part of Vacasa.

The ocean is literally 20 feet away. Magnificent views, lots of whale watching from the lanai. Location is perfect to restaurants and activities. Great stay!

The closet is full of construction material including grout. Bath room is in shambles. Floor boards broken and unsafe. Bed is hell. At $600 a day including all the additions, they charge in advance, I would never have taken this, if I had any information about this unit. Almost every business in Hawaii exploits tourists. They take money in advance and there is no way you can complain after entering Hawaii

Overall we are happy with the property, it needs an upgrade to the bathroom ceiling and the outside door that is very rusty. Also the wicker should go.
