Maui Kai by Island Oasis Realty

The room felt cozy, and the bed was really comfortable. The condo staff were friendly and helpful, though the units have different owners. There’s a decent pool area with a hot tub, ping pong, and corn hole. The beach is a very short walk away, and restaurants and the food cart court are walkable too.

Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was a treat, and the rooms had plenty of plates and cooking gear. The gas grills by the pool were clean and worked well. Staff were welcoming, and we loved the rooms. Times supermarket is right across the street, with lots of excellent restaurants within walking distance. We’re completely happy here. A tip: Western Maui is often sunny and dry when the rest of Maui is rainy, so this is a good part of the island to stay in.

You can walk straight out the back and onto the beach, since it’s right on the water. Some rooms are great, while others could use an update. All in all, it’s a great place to stay.

We ended up here for our last three days on the island after extending our stay at the last minute, so we didn’t expect much. The room was small but cozy, and we could cook a meal in the oven. Our friends’ unit had only a stovetop. The TV gave us trouble, which we took as a hint to leave it off. Parking was easy every time, and we saw people using the pool across the lot, though we didn’t go in ourselves. The ocean is loud, but I didn’t mind. We watched sunrises and sunsets, had drinks on the lanai, and walked for coffee each morning.
