Property Overview

One of the best condos in Kihei has sandy beaches, a reef for snorkeling, lounge chairs in shaded grassy areas, an oceanfront pool, kayaks, and paddle boards for rent right on the property. All making this the best choice for Kihei beachfront rentals on Maui. Your vacation starts here!

This top-floor, Kihei holiday condo has a panoramic ocean view and sits up above popular Keawakapu Beach. Wake to the sounds of the ocean waves lapping at the sandy beach below. Then grab your coffee and step out on your private lanai to relax before your beautiful morning beach stroll. Rent a kayak and paddle out to view turtles and even humpback whales in the winter months. After working up an appetite, pop in and enjoy brunch oceanfront at the onsite restaurant before taking a much-deserved nap under the shade of the palm trees just steps away. Follow with an afternoon dip in the ocean, including snorkeling just feet from turtles (stay a minimum of 10 feet away from the Honu) and tropical fish. Then close out the daylight by watching the sun drop into the Pacific from the shoreline of your Kihei vacation condo, or from your top-floor lanai while sipping your favorite beverage. Can you think of a more perfect day than this and all within moments of this Mana Kai rental!

If you wanted to end the night with a nice homemade dinner, the kitchen is fully stocked and ready for the home chef to whip up a meal fit for King Kamehameha himself. All appliances, cookware, service wares, and dishes are provided.

As you ready for bed, there are 2 options for sleeping quarters. The primary suite is ocean-facing and is set up as an 'open concept' studio with the living areas and king bed open to each other. In this space, you can lie in bed and watch the moonlight reflect off the ocean as you drift asleep. Or you can click on your favorite TV show and watch until your eyes get heavy. A full bathroom with large vanity and tiled shower is just opposite the bed. The guest room also has ocean and mountain views facing West and is situated just off the entry hall. It has its own en-suite bathroom with tub/shower combo and offers a queen bed. Both rooms and the living space each have their own ductless AC units. There is dining inside at the breakfast bar and dining al fresco at the table with seating for 4 on the lanai.

Let's start with Mana Kai itself - there are very few (less than 4-5) higher end condo complexes in Kihei that are oceanfront / beachfront (by my book Royan Mauian, Kihei Surfide, and Mana Kai). Mana Kai is by far the best option out of all of them. Yes, the building was built in the mid 70's, but it has been very well maintained. Key benefits of Mana Kai - nice pool (pool at Surfside next door is tiny!), great location right in front of one of the best beaches in South Maui, on-site grocery / sundry store, on-site beach rental store (including SUP & Kayaks).Now for review of unit 815. This is a mostly remodeled unit - the main bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom have all be updated and they did a nice job - quality finishes & appliances, the bed is comfortable. The second bedroom / bathroom leave a lot to be desired - the bed is not comfortable at all, and that second bathroom hasn't been remodeled - it is clean and functional, but the sink countertop is VERY low. Why they did not remodel the whole unit baffles me. Overall the unit was clean, no deferred maintenance items. It was missing beach umbrella, which comes in very handy in South Maui.

Great stay in this condo. Have stayed at mana kai several times before, its a great location with views, great beach, gym, etc. Unit is a nicely renovated unit. Kitchen well stocked for cooking. Beds and furniture was comfortable. Only slight knock, TV was very small and not a smart TV (,so no streaming). Wasnt a big issue for us but could be for a family that wanted that.But overall I'd recommend this condo

This property was perfect! This visit was my families first trip to Hawaii! We were so pleased with the location; we could choose to explore Kihei or Wailea with only a short drive! The space was large and the views incredible. Also, the grassy lawn before the beach reduced the sand on the beach towels and stayed cool.

Nothing compares to the Mana Kai and this room is one of our favorites! It was immaculate. You can tell care was involved in furnishing it intentionally. Management was quick to respond to questions and kind. The beach hairs and extra towels were handy. The only drawback is that if you were staying with four people you might want extra closet space but since we had the place to ourselves (just my husband and I), there was more than enough space between the two rooms.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay. The property was clean, quiet and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfy. Amazing proximity to the ocean. The pool was also great. We were able to rent body boards and 808 convenience store had plenty of drinks / food. Would definitely stay again.
