Wow! This property was such a hidden gem and my family and I loved staying here for 15 nights over Christmas and New Years. The condo is located on a quiet street right by the Maalaea Harbor and the complex is well taken care of. Compliments to the gentleman who cleaned the pool area and the grills every morning. The listing was very accurate and the price was right!
Positives: This is our second time visiting Maui and we absolutely loved this location. Access to the west and south beaches took anywhere from 10-45 minutes and it was awesome to be able to check the weather report and pick our beach accordingly. The kitchen and fridge were small, but well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The unit had 3 beach chairs and a beach umbrella, which was an added bonus. The coolest part about this unit though was the snorkeling spot we found about 200 yards away from shore, complete with a turtle washing station!
Negatives: Maalaea was very breezy every day. The couch/hide-bed was not comfortable or adequate for four. Only three of us could sit on the couch at a time and there wasn't another cushioned chair for the fourth person. We only had 3 beach towels. We were wishing the unit had a hanging system on the lanai to dry towels and some hooks for the wetsuits.
If you are looking for a comfortable condo with a great location to everything, this is the place for you!

We had a great time spending our 45th wedding anniversity in Maui. Weather was great despite being very windy the first two days. Accomendations were very nice and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

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!!!

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!

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.

Our family booked the stay through VRBO. The mgt information for this unit was accurate and we were able to see turtles from our balcony as advertised! The view was very good also for sunrise and sunset. No direct sunlight, which is nice since then it gets too hot. The facility has been well taken care of and linens, kitchen, bathroom were in very good condition and clean upon arrival. I would have given this a 5 star for general condition, but there was a slight (very light brownish walk track from the tiled kitchen floor to the balcony). I vacuumed two times with the provided unit vacuum just in case there was sand from previous use & since we take off our shoes upon entering (did not want bare feet/socks getting dirty), but it was just a light brownish tint (no sand) compared to the rest of the newer carpet. Just from general use & prev cleaning was 'clean'. Nothing that a bissel steam vac couldn't get out in 5 to 10 minutes. Again not a big deal. We would stay again in this unit for sure. Walking dist to aquarium & ships harbor too! A beach was within walking dist too. Probably the best one we were at for the whole island due to proximity, privacy and swimming with a turtle!

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.

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

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.
5.0
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!

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

The lower kitchen cupboards and the pots and pans were not in great shape. But that didnt matter to us because we were there for the view. Best view we’ve ever had!

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.

Wonderful!
This was our 2nd time staying in 316 and like the first time it was fantastic. The ocean front view from our lanai can't be beat. You can see the turtles too. We ate every meal on our lanai. The unit was clean and the bed super comfortable. The unit was stocked adequately in the kitchen and had beach towels, chairs, and umbrella. Wi-Fi was strong. There were plenty of lounge chairs on the property to sit outside. The grounds are well kept and the pool is very nice-a welcome beginning and/or end to our day. The location is strategically located on the island. Lara, our host was excellent--very responsive and helpful. Thank you Lara. We will definitely come back and hope to stay here again.

We were very happy with the condo location and the condo itself. It was very clean and well supplied with beach equipment. Although the unit has no A/C, the trade winds blow right through the unit keeping it well ventilated. The only unfortunate thing was a scheduled yard maintenance spread manure over the entire lawn while we were there which caused the whole area to smell and make the pool/lawn unusable for a couple of days. Although unavoidable, our rental agent was supposed to inform us about it but did not. Even still, I would stay there again without hesitation.

We had a great time as usual but after 30 years of visiting Maui, we are calling this our last trip. Becoming too far and too expensive. Our stay at Maalaea Kai 316 was OK we missed a dishwasher, and the carpets were kind of dirty. My wife also picked up some bites on her ankles and dont know where the came from. Still bothered by them as of 3/8/20 We left Maui on 2/19/20.

Our stay at Maalaea Kai was simply put, wonderful. The facility, condo, grounds, pool, lawn, day and nighttime views, laissez-faire way of being, safe surroundings, and central "quiet corner" location gave us everything we wanted for our vacation "headquarters". We stayed there and rested, circumnavigated the island for 2 days, swam in the pool and the local beach park, hiked the long beach south and played visual tag with the scores of sea turtles. For skywatchers, we saw several meteors decorate the night as we ate candlelight dinners out on our balcony. MAHALO to all who delivered this to us.

Outstanding condo, awesome view from the lanai, quiet, good parking, nice pool, great amenities in the room. I really enjoyed the camera tripod to borrow and take pictures and sunset pictures. Beach chairs could use an upgrade. Property manager was awesome and provided quick response getting us a couple of much needed box fans. Made a world of distance. Great fun looking for and seeing literally hundreds of turtles on the beach wall out in front. Friendly and helpful condo maintenance personnel. Excellent and well organized recycling area, reduced garbage a lot. Good to see.

The condo is nicely located with a fantastic view onto the ocean. In the afternoon you can see sea turtles from your lanai. The location is good, as you can easily get to all other locations on the island with a rental car.

Beautiful view and property! The sunrises were stunning! The grounds are very well
maintained and enjoyed seeing sea turtles and whales most every day. Condo location a hidden gem as very central to most Maui activities. Chelsea very helpful and responsive.
The condo is very worn, but not a concern for us. However, if there are no winds it becomes very hot and stuffy. The kitchen is quite small. No sharp knives which was frustrating. Only 3 beach towels, and occupancy for 4.
Overall, a very nice vacation and would definitely stay at same complex but at a nicer unit. Nothing better than the sunrises!

Well maintained property with a great bed. The manager was very responsive to our requests and the price is the best we found. Be aware the area is quite windy and you won't get sunsets, but a trip north or south will provide for that. The harbor is within walking distance for boat trips which is a real pluds.

It was a nice stay, good sized condo with a beautiful view of Maalea Bay. There’s a full kitchen with appliances, a good sized room, and a living room with Netflix and other streaming platforms. There were binoculars and sun hats which I assume would be for lounging and whale watching, but it wasn’t clear if tenants could use those. The only negatives are location wise it’s not super close to any commercial areas like a full service grocery store etc, so you’ll need a car. Also the wifi didn’t work at all during my 5-day stay, so I had to rely on my phone to get WiFi for my laptop.

We loved our stay here! It was our first time in Maui so we wanted a central location so we could explore the whole island and this was great for it! The condo itself was clean, had everything we needed and the view was nothing short of amazing! There were always turtles swimming around which never gets old! We also saw some spotted eagle rays right off the property as well! We had an ocean breeze throughout all day and all night. I was worried about not having A/C but even on hot days we never felt uncomfortable and I slept with an extra blanket most nights! The location is great and walkable to the marina where many cruises take off from and there are some restaurants walking distance too which was great! Lahaina was about 25 minutes ($40ish Uber ride) and Kihei was about 15 minutes ($25ish Uber ride). When we arrived we realized there was only one beach chair so I texted Chelsea and she brought 2 more over for us the next day. She was always very responsive- I even left my air pods there and she asked the cleaners to be on the lookout and they actually found them and are being sent home to me! We also ended up staying an extra night because we didn’t want to leave! Great experience and we will definitely return!
