Mana Kai Maui Resort condo with WiFi & private W/D - surf, bike, golf & swim

This was our 5th stay at the Mana Kai...we love it! Relaxed complex, fantastic views, i love wandering downstairs right to the beautiful beach. You can walk the .8 mole beach to the pathway along the Wailea resorts. We've stayed in this unit several times now, and it wasn't as nice this time around. It felt like not much upkeep had been done since our last stay. The water pressure in the shower was terrible, the sliding room dividers were dirty, and the kitchen, while decently equipped with cooking items, was missing BBQ tools! One of the perks of the condo is using the grills downstairs and preparing a meal to eat on the lanai, watching the sunset. I had a tough time using the grill with only a short-handled kitchen spatula. But overall we loved our stay!

The staff at Mana Kai Maui. The beautiful setting and view.

The people of Kihei are some of the nicest people. The Mana Kai is a beautiful condominium complex with a grassy area and pool. They keep it very clean. There is a great little market on site and there is snorkeling right outside the condos. We saw sea turtles and even a monk seal. Terrific.

The property was clean and communication about accessibility of the unit was very good and concise. Bed was comfy and the unit has a wonderful view. It’s a great place overall. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Pool is kept clean and great temperature and the grassy area is lovely. Snorkeling right off this beach is perfect. Only thing I can recommend is maybe updating the couch and chairs and we only had one drying towel and no dish rags.

Location can't be beat, this spot is steps away from one of the best beaches in the area. Gorgeous ocean views from the balcony. The local community is lively and has a nice vibe of folks enjoying life in Hawaii. Regarding the accommodations, it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have a designated parking space. As other reviews mentioned, it could use a good maintenance - all sliding doors don't work well and the kitchen faucet is loose. Decent assortment of cooking supplies, but you will need to bring in every item (no olive oil, salt/pepper, etc hanging around). We found it a bit uncomfortable as a beach launching pad. There is exactly 1 towel hook, and hanging items on balcony prohibited (rightfully so), but where does one dry out their swimmers and beach towels, let alone bathing towels? Could use a couple floor mats -at least put one at the entry to catch those last few tiny bits of sand that the showers didn't quite catch. You have to go through 2 sets of heavy doors with 2 long punch pad codes to get into the unit - so leaving and returning were always an effort, especially when carting gear. Vacasa manages the unit through robo-texts and generic emails. There is a gimmicky welcome packet with coffee (but no filters) and a starter pack of a sponge and dish soap, along with a long list of how to behave. The unit was eligible for late check-out, if I paid more, so overall not a huge fan of Vacasa.

The unit was clean. However, the kitchen facet was not secured to the counter top. The bed was very comfortabke. Beautiful ocean view and we spotted whales from the lanai. Very nice beach and lawn area. Not far from shopping and dining.

Loved the lanai. Found the condo needing a lot of repair. My family and I have been staying at the Mana Kai since the 70s. This is the first condo requiring a lot of work.

The view from the room are amazing and the location is the best . Hands down the best place to stay in maui

The View was spectacular. Had everything we needed. Location was good. The on-site “General Store” was super convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely love the Mana Kai Maui. This was our first time booking through vacasa and it was a great experience. Room 709a was updated and well stocked with everything we could need during our stay.

This unit had everything we needed (although a beach umbrella would have been marvelous!) to enjoy the beach, pool, and grilling "at home." The lanai has a great view and wicker furniture where we enjoyed watching the sunrise over breakfast, and sunset over dinner. This condo is quite comfortable and had plenty of beach towels and kitchen stuff so we really felt at home. We can't wait to come back!

The view of the ocean and proximity of this unit to a beautiful beach is like no other in Kihei. Location, location, location!!!!
