Mana Kai is a beautiful property with a front row location on the most beautiful beach, so close you can almost feel the crashing of the waves. As a couple, we used only the front bedroom and the bed was super comfy. Plenty of everything for our stay and we so appreciated the starter kit (with coffee!) when we arrived. We didn't need to use the sofa bed so can't attest to that, but the sofa's lifespan may have been exceeded, according to my other half who said it was uncomfortable. There were a few maintenance issues to be addressed (missing handle on screen exposing sharp screws, toilet in 203A wasn't flushing without assistance, no TV in 203B, etc.) but for the most part small inconveniences easily overlooked for the beauty of the location and comfort of this unit. A couple of recommendations: a bigger TV for 203A and some lanai chair cushions like those shown in the photos. Of note: We noticed some locals bring their 5 little dogs early every morning to do their doo on the public lawn, so be sure not to lay directly on the grass, folks. Gross.
Overall, we had a nice stay at the Mana Kai. You can’t beat the location right on Keawakapu beach and don’t even get me started on the sunsets! The pool, chairs to use on the grass and other accommodations around were great.This particular condo does seem to need some attention and small updates are needed. We traveled with my 15 month old granddaughter and wouldn’t say that this condo is kid friendly. Between the big heavy doors, glass tables and carpet that needs some attention it was hard to let her wander. We did find an unused cigarette underneath the main bed in the living room, used ZYN pouches under the bed in the private bedroom as well as empty water bottles. There is a mold like substance on the bathroom door going into the bathroom off the living room. The knife drawer is also way too accessible for small kids. Not ideal for having a 15month old crawling around. It’s unfortunate you pay such a big cleaning fee to feel like unsanitary things could have been taken care of.
The place was very nice near the beach w beautiful view.Condo was very well equipped with kitchenware n toiletries unfortunately it’s needs some maintenance with the bathroom door/ carpet n wicker furniture.
Decent accommodations with a perfect beach location and access. The property was a bit dated and undergoing some renovation work while we were there, but overall a positive experience. I would definitely consider staying at the property again if visiting this area.
Condo needs a little renovation. Mold on sliding bathroom doors along with a few other things. Replace the can opener
The location was awesome. Access to beach-it was right outside the door. The pool was perfect too. The unit was clean and in good condition. Yes, there are a couple small paint repairs needed on the walls and the carpet could use an upgrade, but it was clean and these things did not cause any issues. The bed was comfortable. The balcony was amazing with its views over the ocean. We could not have been happier and would stay here again.

This property is a gem, and I don't think you can beat the view - Molokini and another cinder cone to the south are rad. You can't beat this location. Being able to walk out onto the beach and having a huge lawn was clutch. Saw a rainbow wrasse snorkeling too. Mahalo!

Our family loves this property and this was the 2nd time that we stayed in #203. It was very clean upon arrival and suited all of our needs. What a wonderful view it has to walk out to every morning when you wake up! Directions for check in and check out were sent in a very timely manner and the entire process was easy and efficient.
Great place and location!
