Just as advertised! A phenomenal location. Breathtaking views. Super modern place very well located. Fit a family of four with a 3 and 6 year old very well.
The view from this unit is the most astonishingly beautiful view I have ever experienced. Absolutely stunning. And the unit itself is very comfortable and spacious. Highly recommended!
Overall, the condo was excellent and the views of the ocean and adjacent islands were great. Everything was in working order as described in the posting. The building is a little dated but the condo itself has been updated.
Only think we wished we had was a washer and dryer in the condo but they do offer them on almost every floor for a small fee.
Great location, nicely furnished and well stocked condo. Super comfortable bed. Enjoyed watching turtles from the balcony every day. Epic responded quickly to fix a couple minor maintenance issues. I'd rate the stay perfect if it were not for the smell of pot smoke inside our condo coming from another unit every afternoon. Reported it to onsite manager who couldn't locate the source.
This unit in the Maui Kai was amazing. The location is fantastic, within walking or very short driving distance to a supermarket, food truck area, restaurants, and of course the boardwalk and beach. The unit itself is clean and comfortable. The spacious living area and well-appointed kitchen stood out, as well as the lanai with its beautiful ocean view. The Maui Kai complex itself has plenty of amenities with a pool, cabana, and grill area, as well as laundry machines on most floors. The unit includes a small pack of detergent for both the laundry and dishwashing machines which was very convenient. Check-in and parking were easy. No complaints about anything whatsoever--this is exactly what I was hoping my stay in Maui would be like! This is one of the easiest five star ratings I've ever given, and I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to spend time in Maui.
This unit was great for our family, and far and away its best feature is its incredible, expansive view of the ocean. It is as good in real-life as in the photo--you don't see any other buildings or people, just a huge expansive view of the ocean and the offshore islands. It is gorgeous.
When we looked down over the railing, we saw sea turtles swimming in the shallow water several times. And further out, we saw occasional whales.
The inside of the unit was also great. Kitchen was very well equipped, bedding was comfortable, and we loved that there is a table with four chairs on the lanai, as we ate out there as a family many times.
Location of this building is at the northern end of Kaanapali, so out of the very busy section. But very easy to get to/from. We liked that it was a bit away from the hubbub, and would take this view *anytime*.
Host was also responsive. Thank you for the great unit and stay!
A superb property with a soft and comfortable bed and a well furnished kitchen. Balcony is *completely* private with a striking view of the ocean and nearby islands. Parking is easy. Pool and hot tub are small, but beautifully maintained and uncrowded.
Minor inconveniences: Rules state the AC is not to be set below 74 degrees. Even on a day with highs only in the low 80s, the AC struggles and slowly loses ground during the day. However, after sunset things level out and the condo is eventually cooled to 74 degrees.
Entering the condo involves a time-consuming old-school mechanical lockbox with 4 thumb wheels which must be turned individually to one number of a combination. This can be challenging if you have fat fingers! Once the thumb wheels are set, pull the lock box open and pull out the small disk attached to a retractable wire. Place the disk near the door lock sensor. Push the door open slightly, allow the disk to retract back into the lock box, close the lock box, and spin the thumb wheels randomly so they are no longer set to the combination. Then open the door fully and enter the condo.
If you come in after dark, you or someone needs to hold an iPhone on flashlight mode near the box while the combination is being entered. The process could be *greatly* improved by using a modern electronic lock box with a lighted numeric keyboard. Or simply replace the door lock with one that offers keypad entry.
Overall, if you rent this property you will not be sorry!
We had a great stay at the condo. Everything was clean, the views were amazing, and the beach was right outside. Great location with food trucks and restaurants within walking distance. We’ll definitely be back!
Very clean and updated. Love the view from the lanai. Very comfortable mattress and AC is excellent. We are not big on using small swimming pools, but the pool, although small, was very clean and refreshing. Would stay here again.
Location, lanai, and an overall AWESOME place! We have stayed at the Maui Kai before and keep coming back. Beach access was a bit tricky this time but if that is the only downside...
Breakfast and sunset on the lanai ... Magnifique!
Having beach towels, beach chairs, and umbrellas was a plus! A wonderful place to stay and if you are seriously considering it, stop and book it NOW!!

The place is perfect. The view is to die for and right on a beautiful beach. The beach is not as crowded as we expected it to be, and the whole experience was just amazing. Would recommend it 100%
This is a perfect place for one couple. The owners here are mostly seniors, and we did not see any children on the property the entire week we were here. (Not recommended for families.)
It is a very well equipped unit, and has a gorgeous view. Listening to the waves at night has been so peaceful. We loved our stay!
We will return again!

We had everything we needed for our stay. Good location and convenient! My only issue was that it the floor could have been cleaner. There was quite a bit of dust and hair that didn’t belong to us.
The lowest the air conditioner would go was 72. It made being in side and sleeping very uncomfortable.

We loved our stay. The condo is private, quiet, and right over the ocean. Everything was perfect, from the well appointed kitchen to the comfy bedroom & the nice balcony. It was a perfect fit for a couple. It was clean and bright. Kaanapali is the best place to swim & snorkel. It’s also in a very convenient location for groceries and restaurants.

We have stayed at the Maui Kai ten times over the past 25 years and 1005 was our favourite unit. The view looking straight down into the ocean and out to the neighbouring islands that you get with all units is unforgettable. While 1005 lacks views down the coast that you get with the corner apartments, it is wider and roomier. Another big plus is that balcony has shades that can be lowered to moderate the afternoon sun - you can lower the shade on one side and have out the other side. Other nice touches included beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, ice chest/blue ice and USB chargers. The furniture and appliances are top notch, and the unit was spotless.
