Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful 3b/3b condo, in Kihei! We loved the property, the pool, beach, and tennis courts! All the nearby restaurants were great, as well. The view from the patio was beautiful! We really enjoyed our time there!
My husband and I brought our 2 adult children ages 20 & 22 to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation before she goes on to grad school. It was a perfect week with weather, activities and dining. We loved the location of the condo and how close to beach it was. We enjoyed walking down in the evening and hearing the waves. Pool and hot tub nice after a long day of hiking. People were friendly and very informative on things to do and places to eat. We will be back for our 4th visit to Maui!

This condo was perfect for our family of 5 and had everything we needed. Check-in/checkout was easy. It's a good location on the island for driving to fun activities. Would stay here again!
Everything was great except a small ant problem on the countertops
This was our second time staying at Luana Kai and we love this property! We love Kihei and find the location perfect for setting out to explore different parts of the island daily. This unit was perfect for our group of 6, though previous reviews are spot on about the lanai and the A/C. The furnishings on the patio could definitely be upgraded. They are both worn and uncomfortable. The A/C unit is loud and blows hot air so that it's uncomfortable for most to sit too close to it. Unfortunately, the unit requires A/C to really cool down so just turning it off isn't necessarily an option. The property manager was excellent. All information and communication provided timely. It was exactly as advertised and you can't beat the location, the quiet and peacefulness of the property, the beach access and a decent pool! Great, especially if you're out and about exploring all the island has to offer!
Our family of 5 stayed for 12 nights. Pictures match exactly reality. Very clean and well stocked with everything you need. Location is ideal within Kihei but also within the condo complex. We can sit on our Lanai and see the pool and the ocean. Kids could go to the pool on their own and you can keep an eye on them while enjoying the view of the ocean. Communication with the on island rep was excellent. Anything we needed they were able to help us with. We will stay here again!!
Very pleasant stay. The location is very nice. Nice and clean pool, ocean view and you can walk to the beach. Kihei is near to the airport and there is everything around you need. The medial hype concerning road to Hana is copletely not understandable for me. To much time for less Entertainment
Central location, oceanfront with pool and newly renovated this was a great place for a family vacation

Check in/check out process was organized. Great location. Beach was a short walk.
Property was in the perfect location. Close to town but away from the hustle and bustle. We could walk right down to the beach and we also had the perfect view right from the living room. I would stay here again and again!

Great location, clean, comfortable and plenty of room for a group of 6!
We had a very nice time. Close to eating places and shops. Beautiful view.

Great place as advertised with views, spacious lanai and bedrooms with plenty of space for the 6 of us. Location great with ability to have a view and walk out to the ocean (which is why we stayed on that side of the main road). We had an issue with the dryer which was brand new so not their fault and they were quick to try and respond and when it wouldn't work, gave us an appliance credit which was much appreciated. Loved the layout and would recommend updating the peninsula stools which are hard to sit on (and we put small pillows so not a biggee) and would also recommend (as another reviewer commented) a cleaning of the couch and/or cover. Otherwise, super place and would rent again.

Good place for the family, despite the place was not properly cleaned and maintained.
We loved Launa Kai! This condo was in a great location. Our family used the pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and grills several nights while we watched the sunset over the water. Absolutely stunning. The folks are very friendly, we were even serenaded one night by a really lovely woman playing Hawaiian style music.
The condo itself had everything we needed. Beach Towels, bath towels, a few beach chairs and umbrellas. We were sure to use the pineapple cutter when we made Hawaiian burgers on the grill.
It’s a short walk to the ocean from the condo. we saw turtles riding the waves in the evening.
All three bedrooms had working AC and ceiling fans. We Highly recommend this rental.

Overall the property was as advertised. It was very windy which is typical in the area but I'm not sure if it was exacerbated by the layout of the buildings - just something to be aware of. Made it hard to sit on the lanai at times. The main living area was hot but if we left the sliding door open I found it brought dirt (when I wiped the counter the paper towel was brown) but again conditions are very dry so not totally unexpected. The master bedroom didn't get very cool but cool enough to sleep. As someone previously noted, it is BRIGHT in the morning and the birds are LOUD. Not a deal breaker - you're in Hawaii! but I did bring eye covering which helped.
My kids couldn't get enough of the pool! We used the grill there one night. The whole complex is very nice and well kept.
We were there 8/6 - 8/24. (Fires 8/8) Prior to the fires I reached out to our home host and she was super responsive. i.e.- small plumbing issue, she had someone there within the hour. After the fires I didn't want to contact anyone about minor inconveniences.
Overall our stay was lovely and we'd stay here again.

This property had an amazing view but also had a few issues. The patio furniture was so uncomfortable and outdated and the AC unit blows hot air on you as you try to enjoy the view. So the patio didn't get used because of the furniture and the AC unit blowing hot air on you.
Even though the AC unit ran nonstop the unit never cooled down and nights were a little uncomfortable trying to sleep. They did have fans in each room and that helped a little. There was also ants in the master bath and upstairs bath. Beware this unit is a 3rd floor unit that has no elevator and not suited for Seniors with luggage. My parent are in their late 70s and had to wait for us to arrive to carry their luggage up 3 flights of stairs. The couch had some stains that need attention. This unit is in need of upgrades with the outside and inside furniture. The upside to the unit its in close proximity to most of the beaches, Road to Hana, Mt Haleakea, Lahaina and Costco! The pool was nice and there were a few grills by the pool that is shared by other guests. We had to wait for one to open up so make sure you get down there by 4pm to nab a grill. Parking was also tricky. If you got in late most likely your gonna be searching for a parking spot near the entrance. I give this place 3 stars out of 5 stars. If they would just update the furniture and fix the AC unit and the ants then it could be a 4 star place! We made the most of it and didnt spend much time there except to sleep.

We found our condo at Launa Kai C301 to be everything as described in the description on VRBO. The place was very clean and the view was amazing. We were right in the middle of Kihei and all of the great restaurants. The kitchen was the most well stocked as far as cooking needs that we have ever seen on any vacation. The one word of caution I would have is although their are split system air conditioners in each bedroom (which did the job) the main living area can get a little warm in the evening. Certainly not a hardship, but just a heads up. The balcony was a nice area to sit out and read or even eat on the dining table. All in all we were extremely pleased with our stay at Launa Kai.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom 3 bath unit, it was perfect. Our condo looked to be newly renovated.( it was beautiful) we couldn’t really walk to most places, but everything we needed was within a 5 minute drive. The property offered a beautiful swimming pool, several gas grills, pickle ball courts, and gorgeous views.
Lara was so sweet and helpful in answering all our questions before our arrival plus she had a missing can opener delivered to the unit. Our family shared a wonderful week swimming, hot tubbing, snorkeling, hiking, surfing and sightseeing in paradise. So fun - such great memories. We definitely would love to return for more good times staying at this property.
