Very comfortable stay

This property was perfect for my visit to Maui. I had stayed at this property back in January 2023 and was very happy to be able to stay once again. The condos location makes it convenient for activities. The gentleman in charge of maintaining the everyday maintenance of the complex worked hard to ensure the grounds were clean and accessible. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Paradise on Earth!

We had a beautiful stay at this property! The ocean breeze and sound of the waves coming in through the sliding door was so healing, so relaxing, the condo was so comfy and homey, and we loved every minute of it! Thank you for providing such peacefulness and beauty in a setting which will remain so memorable!

Quiet and quaint

We love Maalaea Bay and have stayed next door at Milowai several times but we actually liked Maalaea Kai even better! Great view from the lanai. Watching the cute sea turtles 🐢 from the grounds and the lanai is so much fun. The pool is awesome! And grilling out by the ocean is incredible. We'll be back!!!

Breathtaking views!

The proprty is located in such a special place. Quiet, clean, centrally located and beautiful. Immaculate grounds and lovely people, welcoming to vacationers. Short walk to the peaceful beach. The beach is never crowded. Whale watched from the lanai daily die to the time of year we stayed. Great ammenities available in the condo for both staying in and for daily excursions (chairs, ice chest, umbrellas). Will stay here again!

Maalea condo

This condo has pros & cons. Pro - amazing view, location. Super clean. Con- everything is basic and i don't think anything has been upgraded in years. No wine glasses, pans we're super beat up, couch is very uncomfortable. I'd only stay in this complex again, but not this condo unit.

Great condo

This condo was as described. It had a comfortable bed and everything you might need for a beach vacation. The location was great for driving to all locations in the island. One thing to be sure to notice is that there is no air conditioning which is listed in the description , I just didn’t realize. There are great cross breezes, though and some fans to help if it gets warm. The evenings were comfortable but it got a bit warm during the day. We were gone most of that time so it didn’t matter. You cannot swim here, but there are nice beaches all over. The setting is beautiful.

80 degrees indoors at night

This place did not have a thermostat. It was incredibly hot, and there was no way to change the temperature. The best you could do is open the screen door in the window, but then the drapes on the window would blow open and there would be no privacy. This place is the reason I hate Vrbo. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money and go stay at a hotel on a beach and enjoy Hawaii.

The best sunrises!

Beautiful view and property! The sunrises were stunning! The grounds are very well maintained and enjoyed seeing sea turtles and whales most every day. Condo location a hidden gem as very central to most Maui activities. Chelsea very helpful and responsive. The condo is very worn, but not a concern for us. However, if there are no winds it becomes very hot and stuffy. The kitchen is quite small. No sharp knives which was frustrating. Only 3 beach towels, and occupancy for 4. Overall, a very nice vacation and would definitely stay at same complex but at a nicer unit. Nothing better than the sunrises!

Great condo unit to rent

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time renting this unit at Maalaea Kai. We love the unit and the location. It's nice to be away from the crowds you find at the large resorts. Unit was clean and we like renting through Hawaii Life Real Estate. We pretty much stayed on Pacific Time so that we could be up every morning to watch the sunrise from here. A great place to see them. It's also relaxing to sit on your lanai deck or down on the grounds and watch the boats go in and out of Maalaea harbor. We will definitely rent this unit again on any future visits we have to Maui. Gret central location - Drive to Kihea or Lahania is about same distance. Only a 10 minute drive from the airport

Great Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was perfect for my husband and I. It is in a quiet place but not too far from Kihei or Lahaina, so you can easily drive to those places if you want to. The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. It had a fully equipped kitchen and even some beach supplies so we could walk to the nearby local beach. I love that it's walking distance to the Ocean Center and the Harbor. No A/C, but if you open up all the windows you can get good airflow. Overall, I will be coming back to stay at this condo again! I also recommend working with the concierge, Matt, at Hawaii Life. He helped us book a fishing tour and a Luau and they were both so fun! He made the process really easy for us!

Hidden Gem

Wow! This property was such a hidden gem and my family and I loved staying here for 15 nights over Christmas and New Years. The condo is located on a quiet street right by the Maalaea Harbor and the complex is well taken care of. Compliments to the gentleman who cleaned the pool area and the grills every morning. The listing was very accurate and the price was right! Positives: This is our second time visiting Maui and we absolutely loved this location. Access to the west and south beaches took anywhere from 10-45 minutes and it was awesome to be able to check the weather report and pick our beach accordingly. The kitchen and fridge were small, but well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The unit had 3 beach chairs and a beach umbrella, which was an added bonus. The coolest part about this unit though was the snorkeling spot we found about 200 yards away from shore, complete with a turtle washing station! Negatives: Maalaea was very breezy every day. The couch/hide-bed was not comfortable or adequate for four. Only three of us could sit on the couch at a time and there wasn't another cushioned chair for the fourth person. We only had 3 beach towels. We were wishing the unit had a hanging system on the lanai to dry towels and some hooks for the wetsuits. If you are looking for a comfortable condo with a great location to everything, this is the place for you!

Beautiful property!

We loved our stay here! It was our first time in Maui so we wanted a central location so we could explore the whole island and this was great for it! The condo itself was clean, had everything we needed and the view was nothing short of amazing! There were always turtles swimming around which never gets old! We also saw some spotted eagle rays right off the property as well! We had an ocean breeze throughout all day and all night. I was worried about not having A/C but even on hot days we never felt uncomfortable and I slept with an extra blanket most nights! The location is great and walkable to the marina where many cruises take off from and there are some restaurants walking distance too which was great! Lahaina was about 25 minutes ($40ish Uber ride) and Kihei was about 15 minutes ($25ish Uber ride). When we arrived we realized there was only one beach chair so I texted Chelsea and she brought 2 more over for us the next day. She was always very responsive- I even left my air pods there and she asked the cleaners to be on the lookout and they actually found them and are being sent home to me! We also ended up staying an extra night because we didn’t want to leave! Great experience and we will definitely return!

The perfect getaway

I am not exaggerating when I say that this place was literally perfect! (of course, that’s my opinion) This condo is located walking distance from the Ma’alaea Harbor, about 15 minutes driving distance to Kihei, about 20 minutes driving distance to Lahaina and about 15 minutes from the airport. To me it’s in an area that’s not particularly busy, so it’s away from the “crowds”, and if that’s the kind of vacation you’re looking for then you must stay here! The condo has everything you need to have a great vacation: beach going supplies (chairs, boogie boards, noodles, towels), fully stocked kitchen, a small selection of spices for cooking (there were even some condiments left from the people who stayed here before us), a comfortable bed, and the best view from the patio! It was very clean and just made us feel relaxed and comfortable right away! It’s very close to a small shopping center near the harbor, which has little shops, the Maui Ocean Center and the best bar called Beach Bums (good happy hour deals)! It also is about .5 miles away from a small local beach called Haycraft Park. Not many people go there so you almost feel like you have your own private beach or that you’re a local! Honestly, I will never go anywhere else when I travel back to Maui! Just be warned that there is no A/C in this unit, but if you open all the window the trade winds flow right through the entire condo, so that makes up for it. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing View, Location and Property!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived late at night and had no problem getting into the condo with the code Chelsea had sent to us. The bed was very comfortable and we got a great night's sleep. We woke up to the most amazing view ever!!!! We ate every meal out on the lanai watching the whales, boats, and even surfers one day! Very quite and relaxing place. The complex is very clean despite its age. It was nice to have an elevator and a cart to get all the belongings up to the room. Everyone we met that lived there or worked there was very nice. The tile around the pool was being worked on but the guys doing the work were more than happy to allow us to swim while they worked on a walkway. It is a very nice pool! The condo was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Loved having a salad spinner!! My husband loved grilling out every night on one of the new gas grills. Our grandson came over and spent the night with us and he loved sleeping on the sofa sleeper. Said it was very comfortable and he loved hearing the sound of the waves! The location was perfect for getting to all locations around the island. My husband loved the Power Block weights for working out with and I loved the fact that I had a yoga mat to use for my workouts! When I could not find a hair dryer, I asked Chelsea about it and she said there should be one there. I not only found one, but four of them hidden in a secret draw in the bathroom! There is always a breeze coming through the condo and at night this made for good sleeping! Due to the breezy conditions, with windows open, you will have some dust on the floors. This is true Maui life! Overall we were very impressed with the condo and the beautiful property. Plenty of hangers and drawer space for clothes too! I would definitely recommend staying in Maalaea Kai #316.
