About the host
Hosted by John & Sara Malm
Aloha! We are glad you are considering renting our newly remodeled beach condo in South Maui (Kihei/Wailea). You could not choose a better property for your Maui beach vacation.
We live in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois and have been fortunate to have traveled to Hawaii many times over the years. In fact, three generations of our family (including John's father, a retired United Captain) have vacationed at the Mana Kai for the past 40 years! The vacation photos we have collected from our trips to this beautiful spot in Maui are family treasures. We hope that you will come and stay at our Maui beach condo, which we affectionately call the "Malm Kai", and collect some treasures of your own.
Owning, managing and maintaining this special property is our passion. We respond to rental inquiries right away, and we do our best to offer our guests a five-star Maui vacation experience.
When we set out to remake this property, we wanted the new design to exceed our own expectations, as well as yours. A vacation in Maui is a special experience, so we decided that the accommodations should be as desirable as the ocean view. We gave thoughtful attention to the details inside our beach condo, both large and small, to create a spacious feeling with furnishings that are both elegant and practical.
We welcome your questions about the condo, the Mana Kai Maui Resort, Kihei/Wailea and South Maui. Please feel free to contact us with your questions, or if you need help planning other aspects of your next vacation to Maui.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the Mana Kai because of its unique location in all of Hawaii. The property is situated facing toward Wailea directly on world-class Keawakapu Beach. "Mana Kai" means "Spirit of the Sea." These words best describe the essence of this beautiful property, which is surrounded by Pacific Ocean views and a wonderful beach.
In 1973, when a small group of United Airlines pilots wanted to purchase land and build in Maui, the island was relatively undeveloped, and they could have selected available beachfront property almost anywhere in South Maui. Those pilots had observed South Maui from the air and knew they wanted to build their new resort right on beautiful Keawakapu Beach, the best location with the best views in South Maui. Through the years, the Mana Kai Resort has been beautifully updated with new amenities, but one thing remains unchanged: the incredible beach and ocean view that makes MKM unique in all of Hawaii.
Our family has been returning as guests and now as owners of the "Malm Kai" for three generations. Our best vacations, as a couple and as a family, have been here at the Mana Kai.
Each time we brought our family or friends with us as guests to see the Mana Kai for themselves, we heard the same things, like, "better than you described", "its incredible", and "so relaxing and beautiful." We have enjoyed other trips to some great places throughout Hawaii and even at some of the 5-star hotels down the beach here in Wailea (for more than double or triple the price), but we have always preferred to be here at the Mana Kai, for the great sunny weather, swimming and snorkeling with the turtles, whale watching and most of all just relaxing with that incredible view! From here, you can see across the channel to Molokini, Kahoolawe, West Maui, and Lanai.

What makes this property unique
What is unique about our property? The most ideal location with upscale accommodations & unbelievable ocean views from both bedrooms. Unit 402 is a spacious, newly remodeled luxury condo situated at the ocean end of the building, near the beach and away from the noise of the elevators and the pool. Only those units that are numbered "01" and "02" offer unobstructed views from both bedrooms at the ocean end of the resort.
We are passionate about providing our guests a five-star experience. Having completed a top-to-bottom custom remodel of the condo, we spared little expense in our effort to create an upscale Hawaiian beach resort experience for our guests. With its amazing views of Keawakapu Beach, Kahoolawe, Molokini, Makena, Lanai and the Pacific Ocean, you will be delighted you chose to stay in this special condo. The sound of the ocean waves will relax you as you lay in bed. When you look out at that incredible view as you sit on the lanai sipping morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, you will be glad you chose this property for your Maui beach vacation.
