We arrived at this condo on april 26, 2013 and stayed for 7 days. We were so delighted to find the condo not only very clean but with one of the best views of the ocean I have ever experienced. While at the condo I believe I spent ninety percent of my time on the lanai viewing the sunset and other activities in the water below the condo. The sunsets were breathtaking to say the least.
Although we did not see any whales we did see plenty of Marine life from the lanai.
This condo is located in a great location and you have plenty of areas to choose from for dinner, shopping and entertainment.. You are within minutes of great snorkeling locations if you choose to leave the condo to explore other areas. However, there really is no need to leave the condo area because there is great snorkeling and other water activity located on the site. They have a very relaxing pool that has plenty of sun or shade depending on your desires.
The owners of this condo have taken great lengths to make sure that they have provided enough information on all activities around the area and there is a detailed book that you can reference. The condo has all the amenities that you could possibly want for a vacation site. The TV and entertainment center was excellent and there is also a TV in the bedroom. All of the kitchen equipment is very clean and well taken care of which provides a place for preparing breakfast or any other meal.
We felt so at home at this location and believe if you consider it you will also. You cannot go wrong with the price or the accommodations and the clean environment you will be spending your time in.
Book it !

This was our first trip to Maui and to the Maui Kai Resort, but will not be our last! The condo(504) was very comfortable and has everything you might need. The most wonderful part of the condo was the lanai, we also saw our first whale. The ocean view is outstanding, you can't see anything but ocean! It reminded us of our balcony on a cruise ship, only much better! We enjoyed listening to the ocean every night as it rocked us to sleep! The stay was very relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable, while providing a central point for various Maui specialties; restaurants, shopping and luau. We are looking forward to our next visit.

I can't say enough about this wonderful condo 504! It was like being in heaven! I haven't been that relaxed in years. The condo had everything we could possibly need. The furniture was so comfortable in.every room. The lanai was perfect - right over the water!! Loved hearing the waves hitting the shore - put us to sleep every night! As we arrived late to Maui the gift package waiting for us was so much appreciated. We were able to enjoy Kona coffee the next morning as well as the other goodies in the package.
A grocery store minutes from the condo as well as an abc store close by that carried fresh food! I highly recommend this condo for your vacation. Aldo try the Old Lahaina Luau while you're there.

We had a wonderful time staying at Maui Kai for a wedding. The hotel is very centrally located to everything we needed - most notably the ocean! The room was perfectly accommodating for four of us and the ceiling fans were a huge plus when falling asleep. The waves crash right below the lanai, you honestly could not get any closer to the ocean :) In addition to the lovely room Lyn was very responsive and made booking our room easy. Which helped with my last minute planning! We hope to return one day!

We had a great time at this condo. Everything is stocked up for visitor's convenience. Beautiful views and lovely lanai. We enjoyed sitting in lanai each morning and having our tea and breakfast. One best thing with the lanai is that other condos cannot see your lanai, so you don't have to worry about other people. The decor is very beautiful. Overall, it is an awesome place to stay. We would love visiting this condo again in future.

We recently returned from Maui where we spent 9 nites at the wonderful Maui Kai. We have been hanging "our lei" at the Maui Kai Unit 504 for several years. Why go anywhere else? Unit 504 is super comfy and owners Lyn and al Magorno have generously provided everything you will need for a relaxing and fun vacation. However, the biggest plus about unit 504 is the oceanfront view!!! Honestly, it is panoramic, you will think you are on a cruise ship! The Pacific Ocean sits just below the lanai. In addition to the great view the unit is quiet and you can walk to restaurants and a grocery store. Plus there is a beach front promenade that is perfect for walking, strolling or running. This condo is heavenly...once you stay here you will return again and again for the perfect aloha experience.

Nice condo. Fantastic views. Certainly fully equipped from the kitchen to recreational equipment. Friendly staff, very welcoming. We were hoping to sleep to the sound of lapping waves but it's more of a pounding surf so we had to close the lanai doors at night. Convenient location, easy access. Grocery store right across the street and a funky breakfast place. Gas grills out by the pool for easy grilling. Hawaiian music Cd's were a nice touch, set the mood. Saw over a dozen Sea Turtles right from the balcony as well as a huge pod of Dolphins and the last morning watched a baby Humpback whale for over an hour.

This was our 2nd stay at the Maui Kai condo. We loved it just as much this time as the 1st time we stayed. The condo has everything you need (kitchen, A/C, snorkel gear, plenty of room, extra towels, etc.) But the most important feature is the lanai. The view from the lanai is truly amazing. You're so close to the water and the views are unobstructed.
The owners are very nice and are quick to answer questions about the condo, things to do in Maui, etc. And all my questions were answered within minutes.
We look forward to staying at the condo again in the near future.

This condo was well managed with all needed utensils, spices, pots/pans. Refrigerator, bathroom, and premises were nice and clean.
Waking up every morning and sitting on the Lanai with a cup of coffee and nice breakfast with my family was bliss, we enjoyed long walks on the beach. We even had our dinners on the Lanai with beautiful sunset.
Lyn made a beautiful condo with good furnishings and everything we could imagine (boogie boards/coolers). Mahalo to you and will be back to this condo as soon as we can!

Very attentive manager (Lyn Magorno), who managed to stay in touch even though she was abroad and arrange last minute arrangements for me & my family. We were grateful--mahalo, Lyn!
The place itself is fine--it's got a beautiful view, hot tub & pool below (not on ocean side FYI), computer & printer access in the poolhouse along with ping-pong (handy if you're still printing boarding passes). Easy parking in the streets below (any spot--1st come, 1st served).
The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, spices, pots/pans. The refrigerator, bathroom, and premises were nice and clean.
It's a solid stay. It is slightly smaller (maybe 890sq ft?), but that's to be expected. The pation on the 5th floor with a view & the roar of the ocean below is an awesome lullaby.
The only reason I hold back from 5 stars is I reserve that rating to a place that is truly above and beyond all expectations, and this one was just as nice as expected. A solid 4 star stay I do not hesitate to recommend to anyone.
Thank you again, Lyn Magorno!

The condo is in a good location with a nice beach on either side of the complex. Duke's Restaurant is just 2 doors down. Parking at Whaler's Village (Kaanapali Beach) is $30.00! But if you eat at one of their restaurants, they will validate parking. A perfect vacation condo!

Aloha Debbie, Thank you so much for your kind words about our condo #504 at Maui Kai. I hope you also enjoyed our new lanai set with swivel chairs that allow you to have a totally clear view over the railing of the 180+ degree panorama of Molokai and Lanai sitting regally in the ocean expanse. Incidentally, the front room TV is a flatscreen only six months old. Because of its connection to Hawaiian cable and the DVR it's best to follow the explicit directions provided on a laminated sheet usually found on the coffee table or TV cabinet. If necessary, a quick call to our on-island contact will help. I'm glad you enjoyed Duke's-just a short walk down the beach and Whaler's Village for it's enjoyable restaurants as well (we always park free-even if you're only buying a small item at an ABC store-you'll be validated.) I hope you are able to return soon! Mahalo, Al and Lyn

We saw the photos online, but were blown away when we walked in the front door to an amazing view that drew us out immediately to the large lanai. I lounged on the chaise for a while to soak it all in. 180 degree vista with the islands of Molokai and Lanai to set it off! The lanai set enabled us to see over the railing and we used the swivel chairs to take in everything from a monk seal, whales, catamarans, surfers and to rainbows.
We slept wonderfully well hearing the waves from a comfy king bed. That lanai and view awaited us once we rubbed the sleep from our eyes. We discovered they even have free coffee in the morning downstairs (with cups/lids). We'd grab some for our walk along a long stretch of Ka'anapali beach, dabbling our feet in the heavenly surf and sand!
We fixed some meals in --the kitchen having everything we needed and more-breakfast was an absolute on the lanai but Maui has such great restaurants, we found ourselves eating out for dinner much of the time.
It was great to either have central a/C available or let the ocean breeze in through the sliding doors. Al and Lyn, the owners have made a beautiful condo with lovely furnishings and everything we could imagine...even boogie boards and coolers. Mahalo to you two. We'll be back to 504 as soon as we can!

Our trip to 504 was a return visit. It was just as magical as our first trip last year. We open the sliding doors first thing and don't close them again until checkout. The view of the ocean, Molokai and Lanai is absolutely fantastic. We spent days just sitting, watching the whales, dolphins and turtles. This location is quiet and convenient to shopping. You will not find a spot closer to the beach. The hospitality of Lyn and al cannot be matched. We consider this our Maui "home" and are already planning our trip for January 2013.

Older facility, but well-kept. View is outstanding. Air conditioner is very noisy (rattles), so didn't use it.

There is also the option of calling us or our on-island contact as well, but no one was called. Unfortunately, we were not aware of the issue until reading it in a review online. We immediately called the front desk and maintenance went in and heard the low setting making some noise while the medium and high were ok.

Got to vacation here 12/31/11 - 01/05/12. Great escape from the snow & cold of alaska! Unit is clean, well appointed, secure and easy to find. Especially appreciated the beach amenities - umbrella, cooler and snorkel gear - and very comfortable bed.
Saw lots of whales in the channel as well as an occasional turtle below and even a pod of dolphins! The "resort" itself had a nice grilling area and even a small pool available. Grocery store nearby. Only did 1 meal "out" @ the Java Jazz restaurant - mediocre for us - would not bother going back there. Wished we had gone to the Gazebo, just a little ways up the road instead.
Highlight of the vacation was visiting Little Beach Sunday Night - only for the open minded tho - and doing a zip line @ Piiholo Ranch. Not cheap but very safe and fun! Biggest drawback was finding a place nearby to snorkel / park.
Owners take excellent care of their home - we tried to do the same - enjoy!

While the resort is surrounded by other hotels and condos, it is quiet, and parking was readily available. The property is well-maintained, with a small pool and spa, and a well-equipped game room.

We stayed two times at the Maui Kai in the 1980's and have been on holidays, staying at different accommodation on Maui a couple of times since. We decided on this trip to go back to the the Maui Kai due our very good memories of it. The location right on the beach is excellent. The pictures of unit 504 we viewed prior to booking it were exactly as we found it. The view from the balcony overlooking the ocean with views of the islands was fantastic. Nothing beats watching a terrific sunset with a nice bottle of wine enjoying a meal from the barbecue. We saw whales , sea turtles, kite boarders, surfers from the deck. It is possible to walk along the beach or on the boardwalk which starts near the Maui Kai all the way to Black Rock and the Whalers Village. The unit was very comfortable and well stocked with amenities including binoculars, boogie boards, beach mats and books. While we went exploring many other beaches, one of the best features of this location is the ability to go down to the lobby, out the door and be right on the beach and able to go snorkeling right away. The size of the unit is good for 3 adults but would be somehat crowded for more than this.

It's been a couple weeks since we spent 9 days on Maui enjoying our morning coffee and daily sunsets on the lanai of Maui Kai 504 and there hasn't been a day that has passed that I haven't closed my eyes and thought about it. The condo was perfect! We walked in and our expectations were instantly exceeded. The view is breathtaking and the accomodations were thoughtful, clean, organized, and felt just like home. Even though it was our first time to Hawaii and Maui Kai 504, it felt like we had been there before - it just welcomed us in and was a cozy place to rest our heads after our daily Maui adventures. Overall, it felt like Maui Kai (and 504 in particular) was a special little treasure tucked away in the corner of Kaanapali. The grounds are well cared for, the condo is stocked with everything you need (and more!), the beach is just a hop and a skip out the door, and the view in unparalleled. All I can say is, it would be foolish not to jump at a chance to stay in this little piece of heaven. We have made a vow to return (maybe next year?) and enjoy it all over again. Pure bliss.

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.

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!

Aloha Clint & Helena, <br />
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!<br />
Aloha and Mahalo,<br />

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.<br />
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.<br />
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 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!
