ALOHA AND WELCOME TO HALE KAI # 213




YOUR BLISS IN PARADISE





Our condo is situated so close to the ocean that when you first open the door, it seems as though you could dive right in. So close in fact that your favorite pastime might just be kicking back on the lanai, relaxing to the soothing sound of the surf, and enjoying some of the most scenic vistas Hawaii has to offer!

Here you can view marine life right from our lanai, including humpback whales in season and sea turtles frolicking directly in front of the property year round. You can also enjoy easy access to swimming or snorkeling right in front of the property via the adjoining beach, or just relax by the oceanfront pool and revel in the scenic views of Molokai and Lanai right offshore.

Our remodeled condo brings the tropical ambiance indoors through the extensive use of bamboo materials, porcelain "travertine" tile floors, tropical themed ceiling fans and fixtures, and louvered doors. This second floor unit has expansive vaulted ceilings, which creates an abundance of natural light and ventilation, and privacy from its end unit location.

The remodeled kitchen features granite countertops, custom maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an ultra quiet dishwasher, and is fully equipped for when you would rather dine in.

Our living room and kitchen feature a direct view of the Ocean and the island of Molokai, which is all the more grand once you step out onto our balcony, or "lanai" as we say here in Hawaii.

In the bedroom, you will find a new Cal King-Sized Bed and 100% Organic Cotton Blackout Curtains, and in our remodeled bathroom, a walk in shower and high quality fixtures.

Extra sleeping accommodations in the living room include your choice of two Twin-sized Murphy beds, or our pull-out double-size sofa bed.

For your entertainment, there's a 32" LCD Flat Screen TV, Blu-Ray Disc Player, iPhone/iPod compatible stereo, and free wireless internet access.

To minimize its impact on the environment, our unit is equipped with a solar attic fan, tankless water heater, energy star appliances, and energy efficient lighting and ceiling fans.

Just see our reviews on the next tab and you'll quickly see what we mean, Hale Kai # 213, truly a place to find _your bliss in paradise_.
LOCATION:

Our condo is conveniently located midway between the Ka'anapali and Kapalua resort areas, just a 10-15 minute drive from most any West Maui attraction. On foot, it is just one minute away from the Honokowai Farmer's Market, a fantastic organic food store, with adjacent neighborhood coffee shop, and many more restaurants and shops, close by. Right next door to Hale Kai is Honokowai Beach Park, an expansive open space featuring a recently upgraded playground area and shallow tide pools, perfect for the little ones.
RATES:

Rates for this unit are based on two occupants, (additional $15/night/person), and also vary depending on season, length of stay, and whether booked at the last moment.

Pretty standard VRBO

Overall great location and the complex with the pool and beach access was phenomenal! Bedroom/bedding was nice. The upstairs obviously wasnt cleaned prior to our arrival. Their was a crumpled sanitary strip from a bathing suit on the floor upstairs and it obviously hadnt been vacuumed. The front door was broken with a missing glass slat so anyone could see in. The garbage disposal was broken on our arrival (although they did offer to fix mid stay, and we declined). They left us with a broken beach chair, 4 trashbags for a week and two rolls of toilet paper. All that is to say, we really enjoyed our stay, but they really embodied the idea of bare minimum/nickel and dime feel that is all too common with VRBOs these days.

Great location and place

This property was great. The location was wonderful! It was very clean. We loved being right on the ocean and being adjacent to a beach. My only complaint would be it was noisy. It's an older complex so thing are not made like newer places. We could hear our neighbors and even the screaming kid in the other complex. So keep that in mind. We would stay here again.

Family Vacation

Great location. Walking distance to coffee, food and grocery. Beautiful views and close beach/park access. Great for kids! Bonus loft in Unit 213 which is listed as "sleeps up to 4 adults" but can accommodate more if utilizing the loft space. However, I'm sure there is a cap on occupancy per unit. My 14 year old daughter was thrilled she didn't have to share a room with her younger brothers :) Happy family = happy vacation!

Ocean view condo steps from the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just came back from 2 weeks at a great condo located steps from the ocean & pool. Local coffee shop & dining options close by as well as a food truck park! The condo was comfortable & had 2 Murphy beds as well as the separate bedroom & a mezzanine for extra guests.Coming from a quiet countryside home, we did find the road noise along with the waves a bit difficult to sleep through. It was very windy some nights There’s no air conditioning but every wall has louvered windows as well as ceiling fans for the constant ocean breeze. All in all it was a great place to kick back & enjoy the amazing view of the ocean & so many turtles right out on the reefs. Beat turtle viewing that we’ve seen on Maui. On calmer days the reefs offer great snorkeling.Only recommendation would be some Tommy Bahama beach chairs for use & possibly a newer (firmer) bed in the bedroom & more comfortable couch.

Amazing Views and Comfortable Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been to Hale Kai three times now, and in Unit 213 twice. The location is excellent and the price is very reasonable. The condo has been updated with a loft, which looks neat but we didn’t use it. While we spent most of our time outside on the lanai, there are some updates needed: the dishwasher was broken for our entire two weeks; the bedroom curtains very much need to be replaced; and lighting in the living area was sparse. However, the kitchen was fine and bedroom comfortable. The proximity to the ocean is amazing.

Wake up to the sound of the ocean, watch dolphins go by, hang out by the pool or use their communal BBQ area. Great location with coffee shops and groceries across the street, short walk to Dukes, and bike ride to Napili Beach or Whalers Village.

Our Favorite Location to Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very comfortable and had all the necessary kitchen items we needed and was clean. Originally we were going to be a party of four, but due to a family illness 2 were not able to come. Had they come there wasn't a second set of bedding for one of the murphy beds and there wouldn't have been enough towels. We had no problems connecting to the internet and the cable had a good variety of channels. This was not our first time staying at Hale Kai, but it was our first time in 213. I'm aware that the HOA requires that the units use the low flow shower heads, but from a person with curly hair the amount of pressure from the shower took a long time to rinse my hair thus doesn't make sense to have if I need to be under the shower head longer to get the shampoo out of my hair. The kitchen sink and the bathroom sink had adequate water flow.

Needs repairs!

I'm not too picky when it comes to my vacation rentals. I just want a nice place to lounge and crash, have a view, and maybe a pool. This seemed to check all the boxes so decided to give it a go. The good : Lots of walkable places and/or short drive for necessities. Unit had the basic things you need in terms of cookware, dishes and soap + some extra sanitizer and face masks. Bathroom seems to be newer and lots of hot water. The bad : There were so many broken things that it made for an annoying experience. Not enough for me to call to have repairs made while on vacation but enough to be annoying. Light over the sink flickered when turned on, I had to hit the light pretty hard to get it to stop every single time. One sofa lamp light was dangling like a loose tooth so every time I turned it on, was super careful so as not to break it and/or electrocute myself. Screen door refused to stay on the glider so I was constantly fighting it. There was an unusable patio chair upside down on the lanai with a sign telling us not to use it. Curtains in the bedroom + blinds in the living room were either partially broken or really hard to open and close. Pool was cloudy, didn't feel clean so my kids only went in it once and my husband and I never did. I did laundry once in the laundromat. The laundry machines itself were fine but the change machine was broken so I called the front desk (it was after office hours) and the woman there was really helpful and nice, suggested I call the grounds person. So I did and he made change for me but was a bit gruff and could only give me $7 in quarters, which thankfully was enough for 2 loads + soap. Overall, outside noise is loud. The windows are slats of glass and don't make for any kind of worthwhile seal so the bedroom was noisy from traffic and the living room had the booming ocean. We love sleeping to the sounds of the ocean but because the condo is on a retaining wall, there was no natural, distanced sound, it was really loud in the living room with everything closed. Didn't have a problem sleeping through that for the most part but there were a few times I wished it was a just a little more quiet. Lastly, I wish there were some beach accessories like some others condos provide, like umbrellas and chairs. Front desk woman made it sound like they may be doing some updates so hopefully that will happen sometime soon, in the meantime, renter beware.

The staff was super friendly and attentive from start to finish. The location was perfect and easy to get around to everything we wanted to do. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. With the park on one side and a small beach on the other, you just can’t go wrong here! Can’t wait to go back.
