We even saw some whales with binocular. Thanks.

We really enjoyed the condo and grounds of this amazing beachfront place. So many turtles each day swimming around the area. The pool was great. Everything very clean and all amenities we could ask for. Great price for those amazing views. Even saw whales jumping off in the distance off the deck. Will be back for sure.

We absolutely loved everything about this studio. It was peaceful and quiet, felt very private with a lovely lanai and amazing ocean/sunset views. Bed was comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, bathroom was great, place was very clean. We ate in during 80% of our stay (after our initial Costco and Safeway shopping). Loved having the lanai doors open almost all the time (no need this time of year for a/c) - and felt like that extended our space beautifully. Enjoyed the pool/hot tub on a few evenings, though never got to the grill. Great amenities overall. Having access on either end of building to beaches was so convenient, and easy access to the boardwalk to Dukes and all the condos. Used the beach chairs/towels daily, and appreciated the various size coolers. Great fridge and icemaker. Can't say enough good things about MK806 and the folks that own/manage it. Can't wait to return, and definitely telling others about this find! Thanks for everything, Jason and Art.

The view of the ocean is stunning and being able to hear the sound of the ocean from the lanai is so calming and relaxing!

Perfect location! Direct access to the beach via the lanai door makes this unit unique and fabulous! We also appreciated the shades on the lanai windows so it still felt private being on the ground level!

My husband and I really enjoyed the lanai - early mornings and cocktail time. I probably misread info regarding washer and dryer, but they are not located in the unit. It is coin laundry on same floor - past elevators. Overall an enjoyable stay, plenty of room (small bathroom). And well appointed. Would stay again.

Convenient location. Close to food trucks and grocery store. Beach was nice but rough surf with lots of wind this time of year. Whales spotted from beach. Lots of conveniences provided by owners. Well stocked kitchen, bathroom, beach stuff. They thouggt of everything to make out

We stayed at the Maui Kai previously so we knew its right on the beach for the morning walks, great pool area, small so easy access to parking and the unit, however, the actual condo was excellent. The lanai on the side which was private and flanked by palm trees, added a whole other dimension to our stay. Yoga in the mornings and great rainbow and turtle viewing. We ate all our home meals there and it was well furnished and had everything we needed. Not too "themey" yet with an island vibe on the inside. Within easy walking distance of a grocery store, food trucks including an excellent place to grab morning coffee, Java restaurant and Duke's. All in all an excellent holiday largely because of where we stayed. AND excellent communication with property management.
the unit. The unit itself, however,

This place is truly amazing, one of a kind - the view alone is worth it! I’ve never seen such a beautiful view, and the lanai was breathtaking! The room was very well taken care of, had everything we needed - from pots and pans, to binoculars and swim gear - we can’t rate this place highly enough!

The view this place provides is worth every penny! The place is just a couple of blocks from anything you could need including world class beaches. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. Only suggestion would be to have a love seat or recliner chairs for old bodies to put our fear up chorale.

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.

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!

Super well equipped. You don’t have to bring any cooking utensils, Tupperware, dishes, anything at all regarding the kitchen. You also don’t need chairs, pool/beach towels, beach toys, pool toys, goggles, boogie boards or umbrellas because those are all provided! Might want to bring a shower curtain and suction hooks to hang it with if you need privacy in the bathroom. Perfect distance from elevator. Lots of hangers in the closet. Bathroom supplies were great, shampoo conditioner Q tips hairdryers etc. It was awesome not having to use a room key, just a door code! Beach was great for playing in the sand, snorkeling, swimming but there was corral in some spots, so the boogie boarding wasn’t the best. But we found good boogie boarding all over the island so it wasn’t an issue. The main pool was perfect for our kids, different depth levels, waterfall feature you could go under and hangout, very spacious swimming area, and the hot tub was huge! We don’t spend much time in the second pool up by the beach, but it was nice as well. Has great access to the restaurant/beach bar and the outside bathrooms. Very short drive to Whaler’s Village. Hotel is right across the street from restaurants and a supermarket, actual grocery store not just an ABC store or gas station. But also has an ABC right around the corner for souvenirs. L&L Hawaiian across street had bomb good at the right price and Java Jazz was a unique restaurant with cool vibes and great food. The host was awesome too! 5+star

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!

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!
