I typically stay at the Maui Kai every January. This was the best unit I've been in yet. The top floor provides a much better view down into the water than lower floors, so you can see the turtles & stingrays swinging just off the beach. Even saw an endangered monk seal for the first time this year. The corner location also provides a nice view up the beach to the north.Two other things that stood out: A decent Celestron telescope was very nice for looking at whales in the distance, and a fancy bidet with a control panel next to the seat that would make captain Picard jealous.When I book my trip for next year I will definitely check to see if this unit is available again.

We booked a last minute vacation to Maui. Our stay at the Maui Kai was awesome. The views from our Lanai were impeccable, we could see whales breaching the water and seals on the beach.

The condo was a perfect base for our week in Maui. We were able to watch the sunrise each morning from the lenai and often spotted sea turtles swimming by the shore. This small condo is perfect for couples and even has a small beach next door.

Unit is in an amazing location and view is unbeatable. Overall clean and well kept. Did not get the check in email with the code which caused some chaos. Shower drain was fairly clogged and drained very slow.

What a great place on the top floor - amazing corner lanai right over the water, great views and ocean breeze - only a couple of minute wander down the beach and you’re at Dukes Dukes Beach. The condo itself is immaculate, comfortable and stylish. So glad we chose it - would highly recommend and would come again. Easy checkin and great communication.

The decor was well done! This place had everything needed for a wonderful stay at the beach. The view was fantastic saw lots of whales from the balcony. The bed was a bit firm and a little squeaky otherwise really loved the place. We would stay here again!
