Perfect location for bucket list trip for myself and my mom. We spent hours on this lanai gazing at the ocean. There were rainbows every day! Pool and hot tub were great. There is a grocery store and restaurants in a strip mall across the street. Recommend to anyone.

The lowest the air conditioner would go was 72. It made being in side and sleeping very uncomfortable.

Lovely condo with easy access to beach.
Some issues with a loud toilet, but otherwise nice. More bath towels would have been nice.

We loved loved loved the lanai and views! I wish we had planned more down-time to enjoy them :)
Parking was plentiful. The unit was very well stocked with things you would need especially kitchen utensils, reusable containers, etc.
The food trucks (dinner time only except a coffee one) and boardwalk along the water were really close also, which was very convenient. THANK YOU to the hosts for the excellent stay and we really appreciated the early checkin option.

We loved everything about our stay at Gaspare and Robin's condo. The location was perfect, its exactly as described and includes everthing you could possibly need! The view is spectacular and we watched turtles and the sunset from the lanai every day. The snorkeling is amazing on the beach to the left towards Black Rock. We saw turtles and so many kinds of fish every day!. Great restaurants are nearby...we loved Leilanis on the Beach, The Fish Market and Miss Arepa! Gaspare is so accomodating and helpful. We highly recommend staying here and if we can ever get bavk to Maui, would definitely stay here again!

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.

My wife and I loved the location. There are some great places to eat nearby and a grocery store- all walking distance. The place was quiet. Excellent view of the beach, and no parking issues.
We are docking because shortly after booking, there was an additional contract we needed to sign with multiple house rules. These house rules were not displayed prior to booking and we had already spent a lot of time looking at different places and didn’t want to go through the process again.
Some rules include taking out trash and doing dishes prior to leaving… what is the point of us paying a hefty cleaning fee if your cleaner can’t do that? On top of that, we found hair in the shower, and was dirty/dusty behind the bed.
We loved the location. We did not like the lack of transparency prior to booking, the cleaning fee for lack of cleanliness, and the expectation to have us clean.

A superb property with a soft and comfortable bed and a well furnished kitchen. Balcony is *completely* private with a striking view of the ocean and nearby islands. Parking is easy. Pool and hot tub are small, but beautifully maintained and uncrowded.
Minor inconveniences: Rules state the AC is not to be set below 74 degrees. Even on a day with highs only in the low 80s, the AC struggles and slowly loses ground during the day. However, after sunset things level out and the condo is eventually cooled to 74 degrees.
Entering the condo involves a time-consuming old-school mechanical lockbox with 4 thumb wheels which must be turned individually to one number of a combination. This can be challenging if you have fat fingers! Once the thumb wheels are set, pull the lock box open and pull out the small disk attached to a retractable wire. Place the disk near the door lock sensor. Push the door open slightly, allow the disk to retract back into the lock box, close the lock box, and spin the thumb wheels randomly so they are no longer set to the combination. Then open the door fully and enter the condo.
If you come in after dark, you or someone needs to hold an iPhone on flashlight mode near the box while the combination is being entered. The process could be *greatly* improved by using a modern electronic lock box with a lighted numeric keyboard. Or simply replace the door lock with one that offers keypad entry.
Overall, if you rent this property you will not be sorry!

Our stay was perfect! The condo is as described. Very clean. The bed is more comfortable than ours at home. This condo offers an amazing view of the ocean and beach. It was like a dream waking up to that canvas everyday. Perfect location. Close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. We can’t wait to go back! Thanks for everything Neal!

Unit is in an amazing location and view is unbeatable. Overall clean and well kept. Did not get the check in email with the code which caused some chaos. Shower drain was fairly clogged and drained very slow.

Overall a great place. We absolutely loved the view, the crashing waves and the sunsets. The location was great for everything we wanted to do. The beach right next door was perfect, felt very private. It was the perfect space for 2. Needs a deep clean, to at least hide the roach traps, and a better shower head/water pressure. Either way, for the price, would stay again for sure.

Great location, nicely furnished and well stocked condo. Super comfortable bed. Enjoyed watching turtles from the balcony every day. Epic responded quickly to fix a couple minor maintenance issues. I'd rate the stay perfect if it were not for the smell of pot smoke inside our condo coming from another unit every afternoon. Reported it to onsite manager who couldn't locate the source.

This unit in the Maui Kai was amazing. The location is fantastic, within walking or very short driving distance to a supermarket, food truck area, restaurants, and of course the boardwalk and beach. The unit itself is clean and comfortable. The spacious living area and well-appointed kitchen stood out, as well as the lanai with its beautiful ocean view. The Maui Kai complex itself has plenty of amenities with a pool, cabana, and grill area, as well as laundry machines on most floors. The unit includes a small pack of detergent for both the laundry and dishwashing machines which was very convenient. Check-in and parking were easy. No complaints about anything whatsoever--this is exactly what I was hoping my stay in Maui would be like! This is one of the easiest five star ratings I've ever given, and I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to spend time in Maui.

We had a wonderful trip even with an interruption and needed to stay on Maui longer! Upscale everything is so nice and spices there just above the stove!
Miss those waves crashing each night! Lovely to sleep by! Grills in the pool area are top of the line!
Thanks for sharing your lovely place!!

You can't beat the views! We enjoyed watching turtles each day. The unit was well supplied. It's older and could use some updates but the ocean views totally made up for what the condo was lacking. Neal was quick to respond to questions. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our time at Maui Kai. The views from the 9th floor corner room were phenomenal! Th only issue we had was the precarious way you had to get to the beach on either side of the hotel. I understand that the tide causes the size of the beach to change, but there must be some other way than having to climb over rocks to get down to the beach. I saw quite a few people lose their balance. Definitely not an option for the elderly.
That being said, the condo was in a great location and you could easily drive to Ka’anapali beach to watch the cliff divers and see beautiful sunsets while drinking Mai tais!

Our stay was wonderful! First time utilizing a VRBO and we were so impressed with how the Condo had everything needed for a vacation (snorkeling gear, binoculars, beach chairs and towels, etc.). Definitely set the bar! The complex was well maintained and staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the opportunity and we hope to be back soon!

We originally booked this property in 2023 but had a very last minute cancellation due to the fires in Lahaina. Lisa was incredibly understanding and I knew that when we would eventually make our return to Maui, this would be the place. I was Right! The view from the lanai was amazing. The room was spacious just as pictured and the Murphy beds offer such a great option for the kiddos to sleep in! I even Fell asleep in one, one evening, they’re so comfy! The bathroom was big and tidy. Right off the elevator. We were provided with all the things we needed to get our vacation started the minute we arrived! The only issue was that the dryer was not working and Lisa made us aware the second she found out. She got someone out as soon as possible and got it working for the remainder of our trip. Lisa was always quick to respond and very detailed with responses and so kind. I’ve sent the property link to many friends and have saved for our future visits to Maui!

We loved this property. Fantastic views, Turtles swim by our Lanai, Seal sunbaking on the beach. Great access to pristine snorkeling locations. Neal and Vicky are fantastic hosts. The property is modern and very well kitted out with all the necessary gear to be self sustained. We loved our stay here and will be sure to tell all our friends.

I couldn't have asked for a condo with a better view. From the lanai we enjoyed beautiful sunrises and watching the turtles. We walked most places that we ate. There was a food truck park, a hotel bar, and an array of sit-down restaurants all within walking distance. The condo was clean and comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. There were beach chairs, a cooler and things to enjoy the beach and pool with. We didn't venture to the pool until our last night, but when we did we discovered that the pool was much more than just a pool. There was a grilling spot with picnic tables, a full kitchen, ping pong, books, games, etc. all available for use. And the operations manager (I forgot his name) was very friendly and helpful.

This unit was just beautiful, well taken care of and had an amazing view! It is a corner unit so you get extra light from a large window that faces the beach next door. You get a great view of the sunsets too!
There were a couple cons for us. The windows in the unit don’t open (at least we couldn’t get them open if they do). We would have loved to just have the windows open while we sleep. The beach access isn’t easy. The stairs are blocked off and the side access had huge rocks you have to climb over. The easiest way to get to the beach was to walk next door and use their access.

Amazing view as soon as you open the door. Perfect place for a couple. Cooler, ice packs and chairs were absolutely key for beach time. Beaches are only a 5 min walk down a paved path. Very quiet and out of the way of the big resorts next door. Walking distance to amazing set of food trucks.

Wonderful condo. Beautiful view of pool and ocean. Great location, close to food trucks and Whalers Village. The beach out front of the condo is perfect. My only suggestion would be to add a mattress topper to the bed. It’s very hard.

The property and location were great! Loved the private beach for the kids. The surf was high and the waves were strong but it did not stop the kids from enjoying the water. We love the Kapalua Trail which was 5-10 minutes away as well as Kaanapali so we could not have asked for a better location. It was a joy to not have to go out to dinner for every meal, mostly because my kids are a little picky so stopping by a store and getting some of their favorites was a nice option to a typical hotel stay. My wife loved the upstairs deck and enjoyed many morning sunrises out on the deck. Overall we were impressed with the home, the owners made everything convenient and were extremely helpful. I would stay here again if I returned to Maui.

Weve stayed at several suites in Maui Kai and this was by far our favorite. The views for this corner lot are absolutely stunning and the place was very clean and spacious. Neal is an excellent host that went out of his way to make sure everything was going well. I would definitely stay here again and can't recommend this place enough!

My husband and I stayed here while we got married in Maui and it was breathtaking the moment we walked in. The check in was easy, the view is AMAZING. Nothing like sleeping to the waves. Lots of food and things walkable from this spot. Snorkeling right outside our room, saw turtles, sting rays and lots of fish. Best sunsets on the island. We will be back!! Mahalo!
