“ This was my second visit to Maui Kai 504. It was as fantastic as the first! The reservation process was very easy and quick with no confusions or mistakes. The condo is in the perfect location, right on the beach! The view off the lanai, exceptional and private. The condo itself was decorated in wonderful island style and was very comfortable. Outfitted with everything we needed, it once again proved to be home away from home. This condo holds a very special place in our hearts! Maui is such a beautiful island and Maui Kai 504 is perfectly situated and appointed to enjoy every bit of it. ”

Manager response:

“ Aloha John,
It was wonderful to have your return to our wonderful condo and I'm happy to hear that you agree that the location is perfect and that you were comfortable and enjoyed our efforts at decorating and creating a feel for the islands. It touches us that you feel that it holds a very special place in your hearts as it does for us as well! We do hope you will be able to return very soon!
Mahalo and Aloha,
Al and Lyn
Owners, Maui Kai 504 ”

Fantastic Vacation!

Clint & Helena from Lakeville, MN on 04/08/2010 said:

“ We spent 6 nights at the Maui Kai in 504. The condo had everything you could possible need or want to make your vacation comfortable. I planned our vacation over 1 year ago and had many email conversations with Lyn Magorne, the owner, asking different questions. Lyn made me feel very comfortable and excited about renting directly from an owner. We have not done that before. She could not have been more accommodating! The condo was so clean, which is one of my number one requirements. We would sit on the lanai every morning and evening and watch the whales and dolphins. I lost count we saw so many! The Maui Kai is located directly on the beach. Just go out the lobby door and you are on the beach! I only wish we were still on the lanai! Thanks for making our vacation stay a memory of a lifetime! ”

Manager response:

“ Aloha Clint & Helena,
I wish I could immediately transport you to our lanai. I know what you mean...we have a difficult time leaving it as well! We have the perfect vantage point to enjoy all that is going on from whales and dolphins in the winter to the wind and kite surfers, outriggers, and a multitude of activities at other times. Thank you so much for your kind words-you were a pleasure to have as guests and I enjoyed our emails. We hope you can make a return visit!
Aloha and Mahalo,
Lyn and Al, Owners Maui Kai 504 ”

“ Condo 504 fit our needs perfectly! Nicely appointed with everything provided for a wonderful vacation....including coolers, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment. Our family enjoyed the pool amenities of grills and a kitchen in which to prepare meals and eat picnic style and challenging each other to a game of pingpong! We loved relaxing on the lanai, whale watching and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. ”

Home away from home.... in paradise!!

Gauri from Oakland, CA on 01/07/2010 said:

“ Loved, loved, loved staying at #504 of the Maui Kai. It was exactly what we were looking for- a clean, quiet, safe, not run-down place where we can make and eat our own food, in the middle of everything, right on the beach so we don't have to drive to it, and with a spectacular view from our lanai so don't feel "stuck" in our place when the kids were sleeping. It was just a little cramped for our family of 4 but it was fine. We knew it was a one bedroom before we booked it and expected this. By the way, if our kids were older, they could have stayed up later and slept on the sofabed and I don't think it wouldn't have felt that way.... Also, we never closed our lanai sliding doors (the entire ocean facing wall was glass) because we loved hearing the ocean sounds our entire 9 day stay. Even booking it was super easy online. We all (including my 5 year old) still talk about it and miss it a couple of months later. We decided we have to stay here again the next time we go to Maui. ”

Great Stay in 504

Chris from Sakhalin, Russia on 11/14/2009 said:

“ We have just departed from unit 504 at Maui Kai and have left with very positive impressions. We traveled with our two children aged 9 and 11 and would recommend this place to other families wishing to get their own space and get away from the bustle of the resort hotels. The place has a fantastic location right on the beach front, and I mean right on the beach front! Step out of the condo and you are on the beach. Two more steps and you are in the sea! The views are great. Every apartment must get the fantastis view we had. Completely uninterrupted views out to sea. The apartment we stayed in was spotless, and the same could be said of the rest of the place. It is kept in very good order with the BBQ cleaner than I can get my own. The apartment is big enough for two but a little cramped for a family of four, but you knew what we were doing before we booked. The sofa bed in the living room is not the world's most comfortable but what sofa bed is. The unit is so well stocked with the needs of the traveler. Every kitchen utensil is provided as is beach gear, coolers, snorkel sets, iPod dock, good cable package, the list goes on. The place is ideal if you want to get away for some peace and quiet. If you want big pools, resort entertainment, loud music and loud people then go elsewhere. If you want to relax and kick back with your own cooking on the lanai and watch the sea with some cold ones, then this is the place for you. ”

“ This condo is amazing. The location is outstanding, as is the view from the wonderful large lanai. I cannot praise it enough. It is beautifully furnished and has all the extra touches you would need. It is spotless and the bed was very comfortable (very important). I think it is the nicest place we have ever stayed!! The complex is well kept and the staff we met were very friendly to us. Exceptional good value. Thank you so much. ”

Can't wait to go back

Can't wait to go back from Michigan on 10/09/2009 said:

“ We stayed in two different condos during our two weeks in the Maui Kai to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. This condo was nicely appointed and has a very comfortable bed with a beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding islands from the lanai and of the in-land mountain valley from the bedroom. We only stayed a few days here, and it looked like the cleaning staff decided not to dust or sweep the floors before we arrived, but that didn't detract from the wonderful dinners we had on the lanai, or the romantic sunsets. The Maui Kai really is the closest condo to the water in the Kaanapali Beach area and the staff, grounds, pool, and overall environment were all top notch. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a quiet stay on Maui with all the beauty and local amenities that the Hyatt, Sheraton, and Ritz have to offer as well as all the comforts of home. ”

 

A Wonderful Condo in Paradise

J & A from Maryland on 08/23/2009 said:

“ Thank you so much for renting your condo to us! We had a wonderful vacation and anniversary in Maui, and your condo helped make that experience very special! Leaving was the most difficult part, and if we could have stayed longer, we certainly would have. We took comfort that at the end of the day after going on an excursion around the island that we were coming back to comfortable furnishings, an excellent kitchen, and a nice shower. We loved sitting out on the lanai in the morning, taking in the gorgeous views. The location was great because we were close to some excellent food options and were able to get down to the shops in Lahaina. The beaches were beautiful, and the community was very clean and well kept. Our time there flew by and we did not want to leave. You have a wonderful piece of paradise. Mahalo for sharing it with us. We hope to return in the near future. ”

Our Wonderful Maui Vacation

pennyandjack from Indianapolis, Indiana on 05/20/2009 said:

“ We had a marvelous time in Maui. The Maui Kai was simply beautiful right on the ocean. The sunsets were breath-taking. We even extended our stay by three days and didn't want to leave then. Everyone on the grounds were extremely friendly. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends or anyone considering vacationing in Maui. The room was stocked with everything you'd possibly need and the Safeway down the street made grocery shopping less expensive. The condo was perfectly clean and decorated in nice Hawaiian accents. We spent so much time sitting on the lanai just watching the waves, whales, and kite-surfers. We also took in all the visitor sites. Overall on a scale of 1-10, I'd say we had an 11. Thank you Al and Alice. ”

Wonderful Experience

JD from Minneapolis, MN on 04/27/2009 said:

“ I previously rented a condo in Honolulu through Aloha Condos so when I was booking a Hawaiian vacation for my parents I knew Aloha Condos was a trusted site with honest representations of the properties they feature. My parents stayed in this condo on Maui for a week and absolutely loved it! The condo was exactly as represented on the website. I let the owners know that I was renting the condo as a gift to my parents for their anniversary and to my surprise they were kind enough to have an anniversary gift waiting for my parents upon their arrival. I have had two very positive experiences with Aloha Condos and would recommend their website to anyone in search of a condo in Hawaii and for anyone looking for a condo in Maui, I would highly recommend this property. ”

Bill and Barbara Gordon from Tahoe City, California on 04/25/2009 said:

“ We stayed for the second time at the Maui Kai Condo Complex, UNIT 504 in May of '08 and absolutely loooooved it all over again! We are very excited about returning for a ten day third visit this May 2. We never tire of this unbelievable oceanfront property. We always enjoy sitting on the lanai in the morning (java in hand) watching the wonderful sea parade of whales, spinner dolphins and sea turtles. Later we mosey on down to the awesome sandy beach and take a dip in the waves. If you are not a beach lover there is a pool close by. We are always impressed with how well the grounds are cared for, lush greens and beautiful flowers abound. The condo itself is immaculate, with a well stocked kitchen and furnished with lovely tropical decor. All the niceties of home right here. Did I mention the gorgeous sunsets and colorful rainbows? We would highly recommend this condo to honeymooners, couples or small families. The price is very reasonable too. Al and Lyn, the owners are wonderful people. They want you to have the BEST EVER ALOHA EXPERIENCE at their little slice of Heaven, Maui Kai Unit 504...and WE ALWAYS DO. ”

Stay at the Maui Kai

Overall rating:
speed01 from Aurora, CO on 04/23/2009 said:

“ Quite a few years back we stayed at this resort, and i use that name loosely. The actual apartment was done very nicely; the view of the ocean is very good. There's no reception area per se; the overall building reminds me of a tenement in a poor neighborhood and the pool is across the parking lot surrounded by concrete blocks. There is NO beachfront as there is no beach in front...only ocean. A retaining wall protects the lobby from the ocean rushing in. The shower in the apartment overflowed to the apartment below and not by any fault of ours. My wife and I are very careful and clean when we stay in someone else's apartment. Wouldn't recommend this rental building at all. ”

Manager response:

“ Since 2004, we have completely redecorated and made several other upgrades such as an additional granite counter with new maple cabinets in the bathroom, new living room and dining room furnishings and balcony high table and swivel chairs on the lanai. A problem with the shower at the time was quickly remedied. Maui Kai is a smaller structure constructed of cement block which helps to eliminate noise compared to some of the large hotel-type buildings. As Maui Kai has the closest proximity to the ocean in West Maui, it is regularly maintained including re-spalling of the building, new paint and trim. The landscaping of the building has been upgraded with many Hawaiian flowers, plants, and waterfalls.
The pool and spa are part of a larger cabana area which includes an indoor kitchen, bathrooms, computer with printer, ping-pong table, and library. Outside is a large area for sunbathing and visiting, a covered picnic area, and gas barbecues. Perhaps his visit was during one of the rare storms that could bring in high surf and reduce the beach temporarily. However, North Ka'anapali Beach in front of Maui Kai actually stretches for three miles, all the way to Black Rock.
Maui Kai is not a hotel with one a grandiose entryway, but it does have a pleasant sitting area for resting and visiting now complete with orchids and newer furniture as well as free morning coffee and newspapers for purchase. Maui Kai is a location guests enjoy returning to year after year. ”

“ From the second we walked in to this condo, we were wowwed by everything, from the furnishings to the view, this condo is unbelievable! Newly remodeled with granite countertops, tile flooring, and full fun closet including snorkle gear, boogie boards, umbrellas, childrens beach toys, lawn chairs, coolers.....Lyn (owner) has everything that you need here to feel like home. This condo is very clean....you could eat off the floors! The lanai is wonderful. I sat on the patio furniture for hours just watching the whales breaching from the ocean front view through the binnoculars which were also supplied for us. The beach right in from is also a perfect spot for tanning and swimming. There is also a gated pool and hottub area with public BBQ's and games room. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone, being a family or just a couple, who like the finer things in life! ”

“ The view was spectacular, the condo had everything we needed to feel like we were at home for a week and not in a hotel room. We had stayed at a hotel the previous week and felt much more comfortable at Lyn and Al's condo. The only negative was that the bed was slightly lumpy and leaned outward. ”

“ We spent a week at Maui Kai 504 last Dec. We had a wonderful time. This condo is very comfortable. The owners have supplied everything you could possibly want. The views are wonderful. We watched whales jumping, say a large turtle and the moon was so beautiful over the water at night. Great restaurants near by, we loved Pizza Paradiso, which is just across the street and Cilanto in Lahaina. Wonderful stay! ”

“ We spent a wonderful week at Maui Kai. The condo has everything you can possibly need. We loved being able to use all of the beach supplies in the condo (boogie boards, mats, umbrellas, coolers, etc) The best part of the condo is the location and the view from the balcony. We spent each morning eating breakfast on the balcony and watching the whales playing off shore. In the evening we enjoyed the beautiful Maui sunsets from the balcony. All while literally steps from the beach! ”
