Oceanfront Corner Unit Maui Kai 908 1 bed/1ba

The view from this 9th floor condo was breathtaking!

The unit can use a deep clean. On the surface it looks appealing. The kitchen has all the basic necessities. The beach / ocean view is truly breath taking. For your beach and park visits, it is fully equipped. The A/C must be older as it doesn’t work real efficiently. We made adjustments, keeping the shades pulled down, using the floor fan continually, and were warm most of the time. The biggest issue we had to deal with was not with the unit itself but with the elevators that service all ten floors. One was non working the entire 2 weeks and the other kept breaking down. While we acknowledge that the listing says the realty company is “not responsible for mechanical failures to any common elements on the property” you also shouldn’t expect any help with a resolution. The condo office insists that you have to contact the realty company you rented throughand the realty company insists that they aren’t responsible to do anything. For people with a disability this can be an impossible situation. We were also told that the listing does not say it is handicap accessible but it is not an unreasonable expectation that a unit on the 9th floor would be. In review, the view, the aesthetics, and what it is equipped with are the pluses. The age of the building with its A/C and elevator system to support ten floors are not working their best. You have to weigh out how important those items are to you.

Adjusting your check out time is helpful. 10:00 is early!

The unit was as nice as advertised. Magnificent oceanfront view with access to the beach. Very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. Having the beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels and swim fins were an unexpected surprise!Know that the a/c thermostat can only be set as low as 74, but the unit included multiple fans that you could place as desired. If you want a nice, quiet place in a great location, this is it. So many of the nearby properties are very large, and Maui Kai is the perfect place if you want a smaller property with a short walk to the pool, beach or parking.

This is our second visit here, love the location, view, and layout. The beach is beautiful.

We were impressed when we first walked in. Everything clean and well organized. Even the cutlery was laid out in rows in the drawer. Amenities---couldn't ask for anything else. And it was nice to see that the last guests' old condiments weren't still lying around as they are in some properties. Appliances all worked, and the fridge has an icemaker. This corner condo has views of everything, and is perfect for watching the sunset, having dinner, or seeing the whales and turtles from above. The pool behind the property is very nice and has a covered eating area with two barbecues. We were most pleased with this property. It is as close to a boutique hotel as we have ever had in a rental condo. Also a perfect location for taking the boardwalk down the beach. Stores nearby including a massive grocery store. This is a great location and a superb property.

Newly remodeled, clean, very nice corner unit condo with an unbeatable oceanfront (almost in the ocean) view. Islands visible to the west, perfect sunsets every night. And the snorkeling on the beaches immediately to the right and left of the condo is a green sea turtle paradise.close proximity to food, food trucks, shopping, and adjacent areas like Napili Bay and Honolua Bay. We will absolutely plan our next visit to Maui when this place is available.

Everything was as described, but the view, WOW, it doesn't get any better. We saw dozens of whales each day from the lanai. Also, check out the food trucks just a few minute walk from the condo.

We had a fabulous time! We loved sitting on the lanai watching the whales and listening to the waves. We would love to stay here again as it had everything we needed and more. We wouldn’t change a thing about our vacation, including our wonderful stay at this home.

The views were amazing. Great location with walking paths to shops and restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Although the unit has stunning view and is nicely appointed, there were several major issues. The shower drain was plugged, so we showered in standing water. The floors and rug were filthy, and the sofa pillows. And all the windows are caulked shut, so there is no ventilation unless you open the lanai doors, which turns off the A/C.

Very comfortable condo for two people. The building was very quiet and the corner unit provides just amazing views. We could see turtles and whales down in the water. The location of the building is literally right on the water with a sea wall and rocks separating the ocean from the structure. But if you are downstairs facing the water, there is very easy beach access to a very nice beach. I was concerned when others said it was rocky but we found it very easy. Thank you, hosts, for a lovely and comfortable week.

Everything was perfect about the condo, the views, and location. The condo was beautiful and exactly like the pictures showed. The views of watching the whales, turtles, and the sea lion were priceless! The only thing we would change is a different mattress, it was really hard and uncomfortable for us. We celebrated our honeymoon here and can't wait to come back again for a vacation. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Clean and in working order… good communication with host. Nice views with some beach.

We visit Maui once a year and have a timeshare right next door to the Maui Kai. This year, we decided to try staying here instead and it was fantastic. For less than our annual maintenance fee, we had an ocean front, corner room with unbelievable views. Even better was the fact that there were no crowds, no fighting for pool chairs—just a beautiful, quiet place in a perfect location. The unit was immaculate and well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We will definitely return here again and again. Walk across the street to Java Jazz for a great breakfast and enjoy the food trucks nearby for a casual dinner. Highly recommended.
