The view from this 9th floor condo was breathtaking!

The unit can use a deep clean. On the surface it looks appealing. The kitchen has all the basic necessities. The beach / ocean view is truly breath taking. For your beach and park visits, it is fully equipped. The A/C must be older as it doesn’t work real efficiently. We made adjustments, keeping the shades pulled down, using the floor fan continually, and were warm most of the time. The biggest issue we had to deal with was not with the unit itself but with the elevators that service all ten floors. One was non working the entire 2 weeks and the other kept breaking down. While we acknowledge that the listing says the realty company is “not responsible for mechanical failures to any common elements on the property” you also shouldn’t expect any help with a resolution. The condo office insists that you have to contact the realty company you rented throughand the realty company insists that they aren’t responsible to do anything. For people with a disability this can be an impossible situation. We were also told that the listing does not say it is handicap accessible but it is not an unreasonable expectation that a unit on the 9th floor would be. In review, the view, the aesthetics, and what it is equipped with are the pluses. The age of the building with its A/C and elevator system to support ten floors are not working their best. You have to weigh out how important those items are to you.

Adjusting your check out time is helpful. 10:00 is early!

The unit was as nice as advertised. Magnificent oceanfront view with access to the beach. Very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. Having the beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels and swim fins were an unexpected surprise!Know that the a/c thermostat can only be set as low as 74, but the unit included multiple fans that you could place as desired. If you want a nice, quiet place in a great location, this is it. So many of the nearby properties are very large, and Maui Kai is the perfect place if you want a smaller property with a short walk to the pool, beach or parking.
