My family stayed at the condo and traveled to RTH and Haleakala and back. There is a reserved parking spot for the condo which makes sure you have a dedicated spot.
Will definitely recommend this condo for anyone who wants a tranquil place to stay within walking distance of restaurants, Starbucks, and the marina.
Our stay with Maalaea Kai 316 condo was absolutely amazing. Condo was as advertised with an amazing ocean view, sounds of lapping ocean waves, and lots of turtles along with sea wall. The bedroom was very comfortable, loved the paintings around the house and the selection of books, and TV channels. Location is within walking distance to a quiet nice beach park. <br/><br/>Lynn Taylor, our condo property manager was amazing, greeting us with all the information before arrival as well as taking care of our requests and being super responsive through out our stay! <br/><br/>My family stayed at the condo and traveled to RTH and Haleakala and back.

Great Week In Maui
Reviewed on 2023-11-15 by Douglas B. , BATTLE CREEK, MI USWe had a great time spending our 45th wedding anniversity in Maui. Weather was great despite being very windy the first two days. Accomendations were very nice and everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Wonderful place!
Reviewed on 2023-08-31 by Patricia A. , Peabody, MA USWe had such a great stay at this condo unit! Everything was perfect, and we we were lulled to sleep each night by the waves outside our sliding door. A beautiful experience all around! Thank you!
Great location, quite and in very good condition!!!!
Reviewed on 2023-07-07 by Ting I Steve L. , Bellevue, WA USOur family booked the stay through VRBO. The mgt information for this unit was accurate and we were able to see turtles from our balcony as advertised! The view was very good also for sunrise and sunset. No direct sunlight, which is nice since then it gets too hot. The facility has been well taken care of and linens, kitchen, bathroom were in very good condition and clean upon arrival. I would have given this a 5 star for general condition, but there was a slight (very light brownish walk track from the tiled kitchen floor to the balcony). I vacuumed two times with the provided unit vacuum just in case there was sand from previous use & since we take off our shoes upon entering (did not want bare feet/socks getting dirty), but it was just a light brownish tint (no sand) compared to the rest of the newer carpet. Just from general use & prev cleaning was 'clean'. Nothing that a bissel steam vac couldn't get out in 5 to 10 minutes. Again not a big deal. We would stay again in this unit for sure. Walking dist to aquarium & ships harbor too! A beach was within walking dist too. Probably the best one we were at for the whole island due to proximity, privacy and swimming with a turtle!
Great condo unit to rent
Reviewed on 2023-06-08 by Dennis T. , Puyallup, WA United StatesThis was our second time renting this unit at Maalaea Kai. We love the unit and the location. It's nice to be away from the crowds you find at the large resorts. Unit was clean and we like renting through Hawaii Life Real Estate. We pretty much stayed on Pacific Time so that we could be up every morning to watch the sunrise from here. A great place to see them. It's also relaxing to sit on your lanai deck or down on the grounds and watch the boats go in and out of Maalaea harbor. We will definitely rent this unit again on any future visits we have to Maui. Gret central location - Drive to Kihea or Lahania is about same distance. Only a 10 minute drive from the airport

Excellent location in Maui!!
Reviewed on 2023-03-04 by Jackie C. , Pasco, WA USExcellent view of the whales, turtles, just off the property edge, easy access to anywhere on the island, and the trade winds were perfect for keeping that place cool. We thoroughly loved being here, and the property was clean and as described.
Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful vacation and that ocean view!
Reviewed on 2022-07-01 by Jane Y. , San Marcos, CA USThis was our 2nd time staying in this unit and it was once again wonderful! The view from our lanai can’t be beat. We enjoyed every meal on our lanai. The unit was very clean and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. Our host was terrific and responded quickly to any questions we had. In addition, the complex is strategically located on the island-in walking distance to the harbor which made boat tours very convenient as well as close to the airport and most towns on the island. A 6 minute walk brought you to a beautiful stretch of beach that went on for miles and miles. The grounds were clean and well taken care of as was the pool. We look forward to staying here again.
Nice Property
Reviewed on 2022-01-01 by , Boise, ID United StatesWell maintained property with a great bed. The manager was very responsive to our requests and the price is the best we found. Be aware the area is quite windy and you won't get sunsets, but a trip north or south will provide for that. The harbor is within walking distance for boat trips which is a real pluds.

A Nice Stay
Reviewed on 2021-12-16 by Veronica K. , Washington DC, DC USIt was a nice stay, good sized condo with a beautiful view of Maalea Bay. There’s a full kitchen with appliances, a good sized room, and a living room with Netflix and other streaming platforms. There were binoculars and sun hats which I assume would be for lounging and whale watching, but it wasn’t clear if tenants could use those. The only negatives are location wise it’s not super close to any commercial areas like a full service grocery store etc, so you’ll need a car. Also the wifi didn’t work at all during my 5-day stay, so I had to rely on my phone to get WiFi for my laptop.

Amazing View, Location and Property!!!!
Reviewed on 2021-01-06 by Mark E. , Austin, TX USEveryone we met that lived there or worked there was very nice. The tile around the pool was being worked on but the guys doing the work were more than happy to allow us to swim while they worked on a walkway. It is a very nice pool! The condo was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Loved having a salad spinner!! My husband loved grilling out every night on one of the new gas grills. Our grandson came over and spent the night with us and he loved sleeping on the sofa sleeper. Said it was very comfortable and he loved hearing the sound of the waves! The location was perfect for getting to all locations around the island. My husband loved the Power Block weights for working out with and I loved the fact that I had a yoga mat to use for my workouts! When I could not find a hair dryer, I asked Chelsea about it and she said there should be one there. I not only found one, but four of them hidden in a secret draw in the bathroom! There is always a breeze coming through the condo and at night this made for good sleeping! Due to the breezy conditions, with windows open, you will have some dust on the floors. This is true Maui life! Overall we were very impressed with the condo and the beautiful property. Plenty of hangers and drawer space for clothes too! I would definitely recommend staying in Maalaea Kai #316.
We arrived late at night and had no problem getting into the condo with the code Chelsea had sent to us. The bed was very comfortable and we got a great night's sleep. We woke up to the most amazing view ever!!!! We ate every meal out on the lanai watching the whales, boats, and even surfers one day! Very quite and relaxing place. The complex is very clean despite its age. It was nice to have an elevator and a cart to get all the belongings up to the room. <br/>Everyone we met that lived there or worked there was very nice.

This location is a great spot for watching turtles feed right next to the property's seawall. There was even one resting on the beach a short walk from the condo. The views and central location make this a good choice for anyone who doesn't need the overpriced resort experience.
This property is located on the ocean in Ma'alaea, Maui. We like this area because of it's central location and ocean views. The condo is located in a facility that is well maintained, with pleasant grounds and a nice pool. This unit is a good size for couple and could accommodate two more on the sofa bed in a pinch. The kitchen is small but workable with adequate dishes and an assortment of cookware. The laundry is in a separate room shared with other guests. It had three washers and dryers that were commercial grade and held more and were faster than the typical condo size units.<br/><br/>The weather was a little warmer than normal, but there were enough fans to make up for the lack of AC.

Sun, Sea Turtles, Breathtaking Views, Long Walks
Reviewed on 2019-11-22 by William H. , NAPA, CA United StatesOur stay at Maalaea Kai was simply put, wonderful. The facility, condo, grounds, pool, lawn, day and nighttime views, laissez-faire way of being, safe surroundings, and central "quiet corner" location gave us everything we wanted for our vacation "headquarters". We stayed there and rested, circumnavigated the island for 2 days, swam in the pool and the local beach park, hiked the long beach south and played visual tag with the scores of sea turtles. For skywatchers, we saw several meteors decorate the night as we ate candlelight dinners out on our balcony. MAHALO to all who delivered this to us.

Great location with outstanding ocean view
Reviewed on 2019-09-18 by , Calgary, AB CanadaWe were very happy with the condo location and the condo itself. It was very clean and well supplied with beach equipment. Although the unit has no A/C, the trade winds blow right through the unit keeping it well ventilated. The only unfortunate thing was a scheduled yard maintenance spread manure over the entire lawn while we were there which caused the whole area to smell and make the pool/lawn unusable for a couple of days. Although unavoidable, our rental agent was supposed to inform us about it but did not. Even still, I would stay there again without hesitation.

Great Condo
Reviewed on 2019-08-31 by Jessicca M. , Pollock Pines, CA USThis condo was perfect for my husband and I. It is in a quiet place but not too far from Kihei or Lahaina, so you can easily drive to those places if you want to. The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. It had a fully equipped kitchen and even some beach supplies so we could walk to the nearby local beach. I love that it's walking distance to the Ocean Center and the Harbor. No A/C, but if you open up all the windows you can get good airflow. Overall, I will be coming back to stay at this condo again! I also recommend working with the concierge, Matt, at Hawaii Life. He helped us book a fishing tour and a Luau and they were both so fun! He made the process really easy for us!

The property was well kept including the pool and lawn area. There were plenty of lounge chairs. I walked every morning on the beach. Though there was no sandy beach, (only a beautiful sea wall), it only took a 7” walk on the uncrowded road to get to sand. Once there, you can walk for miles. The location is strategically located from the airport (20”), Kihei (10”), Makenna (25”), and Lahaina (20”). It is in walking distance to the harbor and restaurants. The property manager was easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions we had. We will definitely stay here again.
