The views in the room are Spectacular! It's a beachfront corner unit so you get the straightline sight out to the ocean and the beachline sight to the North. The home is updated, has everything you need for a comfortable stay including beach items. If you're on the fence, book it! You will not be disappointed, I promise.
The living room and dining room areas are very bright as it is a corner unit and has that additional light from the north facing picture window. New kitchen, rehab; since the bathroom has the same tile, I would assume it also was rehab. Very nice!
The unit has a very nice views of the ocean. However, the building and the unit are very dated. The pool is small and not very nice to use. The unit provides limited towels and very small amounts of shampoo, etc. The couch is uncomfortable. Honestly, if you just need a place to sleep it's probably ok. You won't want to spend a ton of time in this unit though.
Been staying at Maui Kai for years. Toured this unit some years ago, and were then impressed. Finally tried it - now very worn and aged. Paint chipping, sink stained, cooking utensils scraped or non-existent, etc. Short on basics such as paper products. Badly needs work. Sadly the state of this unit reflects the state of the entire property. Still a lovely location and view, and hopefully will be fixed up.
Stayed 3 nights and unit had everything we needed. Unit has had improvements based on pictures in listing. Carpeted areas have been replaced with vinyl flooring and the couch and other furniture has been replaced as well. Unit did provide ice chest, beach chairs and a snorkel mask. Bed was very comfortable and the unit was very quiet during all hours. Plenty of pots and pans for cooking. Amazing view and being a corner unit really adds value to the view. Parking was easy and beach right next door. Would definitely stay here again!

Views are breathtaking, even our friends who stayed at bigger resorts loved views from the balcony and dining area
Very comfortable unit
Great host who let us check out 30 mnts late
The unit was very clean but not that well maintained.

We just stayed at Maui Kai 508 from January 19, 2022 through January 29, 2022. What keeps us from giving it five stars are a few things: The couch and chair were very uncomfortable. The couch cushions had a broken springs that poke upward and make it unusable for more than a few minutes. We could live with it being worn, but it needs to be usable.
The recliner chair was also uncomfortable and needs to be changed. All of the windows are broken and would not open properly, so no cross breezes. Lastly, the AC makes clicking and banging noises which kept waking us up.
On the positive side, the views were incredible from the lanai. The kitchen was updated and well equipped except for grilling utensils. The king bed was very comfortable.
For a relatively small amount of money, this could be a five star unit. Perhaps the owner is unaware.

The unit was staffed well. The ocean view from two sides of the main room was the highlight.

We’ve stayed at the Maui Kai annually since 2000 and have stayed in many different units. Your unit was by far our favorite. We loved the open lanai with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean, Lanai/Molokai, and also the beach to the north. This corner unit felt very open and bright with windows in the dining area, bathroom, & back bedroom. Basically a different view from every room. We also noticed the AC was quiet and working especially well compared with other years. The kitchen looked very attractive and had all of the conveniences we needed to cook our meals. Thank you for 2 wonderful weeks in paradise! We’ll be back next year and hope to stay in this unit again.
We loved everything about this condo. The location was great. A short walk to the beach and food. We even saw a turtle swim by from the 5th floor balcony. Since it's on the corner, we had great views on two sides.
We came to celebrate my best friend’s 50th birthday and we wanted to be able to be on the ocean. This unit did NOT disappoint with the ocean views. The balcony is big enough to sit out and enjoy - table and 4 chairs and a lounge chair. It’s pretty windy most of the time and totally worth it! It faces west so perfect for sunsets. The sofa sleeper isn’t the best of mattresses which is one reason I gave it 4 Stars. Since it’s next to the patio, we were able to keep the doors open and listen to the waves each night to fall asleep to! I
The kitchen has the basic needs. It does have a regular drip coffee maker so you’ll need coffee filters and coffee. There is a grocery store right up the street - could be walking distance if you don’t have super heavy things.
We had to call maintenance a couple times and they were super responsive. The AC works but you don’t need it. Pro tip- you have to have the balcony doors closed to have the air turn on. (No one told us). Bring change if you want to do laundry. $1.75 wash $2 dry.
Pool area is small but nice and feels private. Nice rec room with ping pong and games, corn hole and darts.
I would recommend staying here! We’ll be back!
