Kauhale Makai

"Great place stay. Beautiful view of the bay. We saw whales from our balcony. Shops were very close as well as a public park where you can swim, chill out, or stay later and watch a beautiful sunset."

"I am rating only the unit in which we stayed, which was #324 in the Plumeria Building. This unit was impeccably clean and had just about everything you might need including beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, boogie boards, etc. You'll need to get staples like condiments and spices if you plan to do much cooking though. All the towels and bedding smelled so good and clean. The king bed is comfortable, but a bit too soft, which made us a bit sore when getting up in the morning . It also made a slightly alarming sound any time we got in or out, like a spring or part of the frame was jacked. But honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal at all and never caused any issues. The unit is small but cozy for a couple. The kitchen is very nice with many plates, utensils, cups & glasses, bowls for food and mixing in, etc. Fridge has an ice maker that works well. The balcony in this unit faces northwest and the inside of the complex. The view is of the ocean, pool, grassy areas, etc and it's a really beautiful view. This unit does not get sun on the balcony which is PERFECT. Some units face the opposite way and they get full-on sun on their balconies from morning to sunset. I would not have enjoyed that at all. Way too hot and way too bright. Even in February it was so nice on our balcony night and day. There are two rockers and two stationary chairs on the balcony plus a small side table. The sliding door is a bit sticky to open but if you take your time and don't try to force it, it's fine. There is currently open parking and we literally never had a problem finding parking right outside by the entrance (peak season). The elevators were never a long wait and the people staying in the complex were all really nice. Lots of people used the gas grills and it always smells amazing!! The grounds are kept absolutely gorgeous. The complex is not really within walking distance of much, but if you have a rental car, it's an awesome central location to all of Maui. This unit was managed by VIP (Valley Isle Properties) and they were easy and nice to work with. If we were ever to come back to Maui, we would absolutely book here again."

"The condo was nice, the host was very accommodating, we did experience one issue, where a young young gentleman, a visitor to the area. Also, we believe staying a couple of doors down, followed us to our room, harassing us at 1 AM in the morning after my daughter has spent the night in the emergency room. It was a very scary situation, and when we turned it in the condo management now two weeks later has still not responded with the Camera footage."

"Mixed with residents and vacation rental units. Great beach access just a little rocky and windy. Walk along the beach see turtles on the beach. The room we had was a bit dated where portions of the floor were coming up. Fairly clean. Parking available just park anywhere without a cone. Nice barbecue area. Nearby pickle ball courts."

"The rooms are not the same layout, so it is pointless to take photos of the rooms. Our view from our room overlooked the ocean and wind turbines. The unit was nice and upgraded. I only wish it had beach supplies since there is no front office to pop in and borrow items. Parking is plentiful as long as you don't park in resident parking. Laundry facilities on site that you can download an app to pay or use coins. Supermarkets are less than a mile away, as well as a shopping area with restaurants. You do have to purchase the necessary spices to cook and toiletries. They have grills on the grounds and a nice swimming area. I even hear there is a small putting area. Overall, this wasn't a bad unit; I just wish it was better supplied so we don't have to purchase and waste items."
