Paradise for 3 weeks!

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 love the Maalaea Kai condos in Maalaea. We have stayed there for 10 visits. The location is very central. No AC in our unit but the trade winds keep it cool. We had a broken refrigerator upon arrival, but our wonderful host got right on it and we ended up with a brand new one! She was the best the whole trip! We gave it a 4 star on cleanliness because the carpet needs cleaning and lamp shades need attention.

Our host and Linn with the property management group were absolutely wonderful. Communications were excellent before and during our stay. This condo was totally complete with everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom supplies, bedding furniture. The views were gorgeous. We had so many sightings of whales. Really made sitting on the lanai fun. The condo, the exterior the grounds the pool were very well maintained and clean.Looking forward to coming back

Cannot beat the view and wake up to the sound of waves hitting the shore. In a good pocket of Maui where everything is somewhat close. Great place to come and relax.

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!

Great location, nice condo, amazing view of whales right from the balcony. Rental manager Lara was extremely kind and attentive to all requests. The price was an excellent value for the quality of our stay. We recommend you check it out for yourselves or just read any of the other reviews that confirm our opinion

Fantastic View

The condo has a direct oceanfront location with a fantastic view. You can watch the sea turtles right from your balcony. Location was perfect and the grounds were very nice. The condo is older and could use updating but it was fine and really it is all about the oceanfront balcony- you won’t spend much time in the rest of the condo! Highly recommended!

Awesome location & whales

This was an excellent mid island. Location with 10 to 20 minute access anywhere. The best location for viewing whales and turtles right offshore of the condo. Loved the tradewinds to keep things cool. We will definitely return to Ma’Alaea Kai

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.

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!
