Great views from lanai
Pros:
This condo has a great location and there are amazing views since it is a corner unit.
Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need for meals (including a rice cooker).
Comfortable furniture and big screen TV.
Bed was comfortable.
Plenty of nice towels provided.
You can walk along the beach or behind the unit to the walkway that goes to Airport Beach.
Bedroom nicely furnished with big dresser and two nightstands.
Close to Times Market for groceries.
Management was on the ball with instructions and information regarding the stay.
Cons:
Unit is in need of upgrading. Popcorn ceilings, old carpet in bedroom and living room, very small bathroom vanity with no storage.
Both bedroom closets are locked. There is nowhere to hang clothes except a tiny utility closet in the hallway that's filled with a step stool, ironing board, cooler, boogie board and 5 hangers. You have to take everything out of the closet if you want room for your clothes.
Pool is behind complex in parking lot so not a great environment.

Great location!
We have started at the next door Mahana before so this was an easy transition for us. Awesome to be located so close to the food trucks! Great food, reasonable priced. It was also easy to catch the bus for only $1 and went to Whalers Village and Lahaina. The best part of our trip was seeing a mama whale and her baby performing right off of our lanai! Whatever mama did, the baby would copy it. So cute! We saw numerous turtles right in front of the condo also. The only downside to our trip was the weather was very windy and rainy but at least we had entertainment right outside we could watch in comfort. The Mahana and Maui Kai have the best view on the island, in my opinion.

Beautiful ocean view
This is a wonderful ocean view unit right on the beach. Huge view from the 8th floor with 3 islands right in front whales dolphins sea turtles and great beaches on either side of the building. The condo is comfortable with A/C and fully stocked kitchen and everything you need for a great Hawaii vacation. Great location close to restaurants food trucks and market within 10 minutes walk. Managment company was very responsive and was ready to help with anything we needed.
We never used the pool and hot tub they are across the parking disconnected from the beach and everything.

Maui
Wonderful location. Casual feel, well appointed. Love the pool for kids, walking access to snorkeling, and shave ice at Big Wave, our favorite. We have stayed at many units in this building over the years, our only notes would be to allow more closet space (most is locked) and provide beach towels instead of large bath.

Comfort with a Spectacular View
We loved our stay in Maui Kai. It was perfect for us. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The condo was so comfortable and convenient. The location could not have been better.
We spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the ocean and it's amazing sea life. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. The bathroom and shower were great.
We took advantage of the grill many times and enjoyed playing darts while we grilled. We used the beach chairs, towels and the cooler provided by the condo. They were a really nice bonus. The water pitcher for the refrigerator was also a nice touch. The library of books was great. We enjoyed the books on reef fish and humpbacks. Communication with the management company was easy and prompt. The provided direction for access to the condo was easy to follow and the key card system for the door was convenient. The welcome package was also a nice touch. You just can't go wrong with this condo.

Stunning view!
This was our first time in Maui and for us, location is everything. Maui Kai condos has a fabulous location and the ocean view is one of the best we have ever experienced.
This is a corner unit and it is exactly as shown in the photos. The water comes right up to a rock wall directly below the balcony. There is ample beach space to the left and right of the building and all beaches are open to the public.
The whale watching from the 8th floor was out of this world. We saw more whales from our balcony than we did on a whale watching tour!
The condo was well appointed, clean and comfortable. There a few minor things that need attention. The blinds, one piece of tile near the desk and some minor touch up paint.
We highly suggest having lunch or dinner at Mama’s Fish House! It’s quite a drive, but the view is amazing and our meal was one of the best meals we have ever had. It is very pricey, but soooo good!
Times Grocery Store is right across the street and a great food truck park is within a 5 minute walk from the condo. Perfect for nights you do y want to cook or go out.
Overall, this was one of the best condos we have stayed in! Highly recommended! Aloha!

I loved the lanai and it's furnitures. I loved the beautiful dinning table that I can set with beautiful matching dinnerware. I loved the bathroom with it's beautiful modern shower.

Wonderful Condo
This little condo is an end unit on the 8th floor. With the end unit you get the balcony looking straight out to sea, plus the side window looking down the coast. Then, to top it off, you get mountain views from the bedroom and bathroom.
The unit is clean and modern. The bathroom is a bit small but we weren't focused on the bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, including a nice blender to make margaritas!
The host provided nice beach towels and beach chairs, too. The unit has cable tv, although we didn't watch anything, and good broadband access.
The only downside to the Maui Kai is that with the rise in sea level over the last few years, beach access in front of and to the immediate right and left of the Maui Kai is limited.
We ended up driving to various beaches every day, rather than walk down the sand past the Mahana. This was no big deal and the fabulous view and comfortable unit made it all worth while.
We used the pool, hot tub, and club house as well. Overall, great stay at a nice property. Would recommend.
