Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi. Our unit (A3) was just OK this time. This was our 5th Korean 6th time renting it. Nice new fridge this year and a new dining area ceiling fan installed while we were there...very nice. One negative was spots on the carpet, which we cleaned. There is also a spot on the deck carpet and the rubber edge on the deck I’d delaminating now. Other kind of ongoing issues the last 2 times we’ve rented this unit are the deck chairs are a bit shabby, and the silverware and kitchen utensils are a jumbled collection. We have purchased silverware and other kitchen items in the past to augment what is there, but the unit still needs a new can opener. We still had a great time though. Thanks for reading this.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time in Makani a Kai A3. We have stayed there in different units many times since the late eighties! A3 is now beginning to look a little tired. Rosemary and the management team are superb, they were of assistance a couple of times. Owing to a misunderstanding, the door combination was changed while we were out for supper on our second-to-last night, and we had also problems with the lock box. We look forward to our next visit.

This priority is fantastic! You are right in between the east and west mountains of Maui and with a walkout right to a great beach. The facilities were in good order and great if you want to save a few dollars making meals and eating in. We will be back! Thank you!!
If it were not for the mice infestation, we would be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was a good fit for our combined, 2 families, 4 adults and 2 teens. Loved the ground floor lanai. Beautiful serene setting!
This was a perfect location. Loved walking the beach everyday and watching whales right from the lanai. The property was very well taken care of and it was convenient to get around everywhere. As one of the residents told us it is like Maui was 30 years ago… not an overly commercialized area. We had a few issues with the condo but management was very responsive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we've stayed at Makani a Kai and the first time in this unit. The location is perfect! We had our morning coffee on the small lanai while listening to the waves and watching whales breach in the bay. The bedrooms and closets are good-sized and the beds, sheets and towels are comfortable. Well-stocked kitchen and good wifi. We have already made our reservations to come back next year.
Nice location very quite , codo smaller than than photos make it appear. Did have trouble with small any in the kitchen area..
Best part about the property was the location. You are just a few steps from the beach from the balcony. Quiet long beach that is great for walking. Condo is a little outdated as pictures so but it was clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing location. It worked perfect for my family and kids aged 3, 6 and 8 to go back and forth between the beach and condo.
Enjoyed my stay while in Maui. I was looking for a place that was right on the ocean and the place was perfect. The beach area was small but the views were awesome. It fit my family of 5 perfectly. The only thing I would of liked is for at at least the first day of arrival they would have some coffee available or small amenities prior to getting supplies for the week. Staff onsite were very nice and always seemed to be working to keep the landscaping nice. It’s nothing fancy but comfortable. I would stay there again.
