Beautiful place....

Location, lanai, and an overall AWESOME place! We have stayed at the Maui Kai before and keep coming back. Beach access was a bit tricky this time but if that is the only downside... Breakfast and sunset on the lanai ... Magnifique! Having beach towels, beach chairs, and umbrellas was a plus! A wonderful place to stay and if you are seriously considering it, stop and book it NOW!!

Great place to stay on Maui

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: The place is perfect. The view is to die for and right on a beautiful beach. The beach is not as crowded as we expected it to be, and the whole experience was just amazing. Would recommend it 100%

Quiet and Convenient

This is a perfect place for one couple. The owners here are mostly seniors, and we did not see any children on the property the entire week we were here. (Not recommended for families.) It is a very well equipped unit, and has a gorgeous view. Listening to the waves at night has been so peaceful. We loved our stay! We will return again!

Aloha, Thank you for choosing to stay in our condo and for your kind review. Please note that most families visit when their children are out of school. This is indeed a recommended family destination as well. Most schools reopened in September after Summer vacation and are not vacationing again in October. We do hope to see you again. Perhaps during school breaks so that your children can make new friends. Best regards, Epic Realty LLC

Loved our stay at Mau Kai 1005

Great location, nicely furnished and well stocked condo. Super comfortable bed. Enjoyed watching turtles from the balcony every day. Epic responded quickly to fix a couple minor maintenance issues. I'd rate the stay perfect if it were not for the smell of pot smoke inside our condo coming from another unit every afternoon. Reported it to onsite manager who couldn't locate the source.

Air conditioner

The lowest the air conditioner would go was 72. It made being in side and sleeping very uncomfortable.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 October 2024

Aloha Mark, I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the condo temp. We state in our arrival information, that you cannot go below 72 as it will really mess with the condensation pumps in this tropical environment. We would have been happy to bring you a fan, if you had let us know of your troubles during your stay. I hope that overall, you still were able to enjoy the beauty of Maui.

Amazing

This unit in the Maui Kai was amazing. The location is fantastic, within walking or very short driving distance to a supermarket, food truck area, restaurants, and of course the boardwalk and beach. The unit itself is clean and comfortable. The spacious living area and well-appointed kitchen stood out, as well as the lanai with its beautiful ocean view. The Maui Kai complex itself has plenty of amenities with a pool, cabana, and grill area, as well as laundry machines on most floors. The unit includes a small pack of detergent for both the laundry and dishwashing machines which was very convenient. Check-in and parking were easy. No complaints about anything whatsoever--this is exactly what I was hoping my stay in Maui would be like! This is one of the easiest five star ratings I've ever given, and I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to spend time in Maui.

Best unit in a 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: We have stayed at the Maui Kai ten times over the past 25 years and 1005 was our favourite unit. The view looking straight down into the ocean and out to the neighbouring islands that you get with all units is unforgettable. While 1005 lacks views down the coast that you get with the corner apartments, it is wider and roomier. Another big plus is that balcony has shades that can be lowered to moderate the afternoon sun - you can lower the shade on one side and have out the other side. Other nice touches included beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, ice chest/blue ice and USB chargers. The furniture and appliances are top notch, and the unit was spotless.

This condo is depicted accurately in the photos. It was clean. The mattress is comfortable. The pool is very small and a bit dated. A few things that would make the stay BETTER... 1. foldable beach chairs are so needed, anyone over the age of 18 cannot lay on the beach with just a towel and be comfortable. 2. chip clips needed in the kitchen 3. the beach towels are just large bath towels. It would be nice to have regular sized beach towels. 4. Koozies for drinks would be appreciated 5. extra bath towels and beach towels would be fantastic as most people do not have time to do coin laundry while on vacation.

Most incredible view

This unit was great for our family, and far and away its best feature is its incredible, expansive view of the ocean. It is as good in real-life as in the photo--you don't see any other buildings or people, just a huge expansive view of the ocean and the offshore islands. It is gorgeous. When we looked down over the railing, we saw sea turtles swimming in the shallow water several times. And further out, we saw occasional whales. The inside of the unit was also great. Kitchen was very well equipped, bedding was comfortable, and we loved that there is a table with four chairs on the lanai, as we ate out there as a family many times. Location of this building is at the northern end of Kaanapali, so out of the very busy section. But very easy to get to/from. We liked that it was a bit away from the hubbub, and would take this view *anytime*. Host was also responsive. Thank you for the great unit and stay!
