Aloha!
My daughters and I absolutely LOVED our stay at Maui Kai #201! The space was lovely and we love to cook so we were pleasantly surprised to find all the cooking tools needed to whip up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The location was convenient, the pool and hot tub were perfect - clean, not too busy, and relaxing. Everyone from the property manager to the host at Maui Paradise were friendly and responsive. We needed to stay an extra half day because our flight was late and they were very accommodating by allowing us that time at half a day rate. When we needed to find activities to do we called Candace who was referenced in the book ont he kitchen table and she was SUPER helpful booking all our excursions. The large lanai was so peaceful and the view was INCREDIBLE! Even the smaller lanai was great although you cannot go out and sit on a deck there it's a huge window that opens up with a few chairs in front of it. It was perfect! We didn't even sleep in the bedroom because the living room had such an incredible view with the sounds of the waves crashing at any time of day. It literally felt like we were floating on the water, that's how close the ocean was. We did take a drive to Wailea which is lovely for a beach day (the shore is bigger there so more beach to enjoy) but the vibe of Lahaina is more down to earth and easy. The only downside is there's no beach access at Maui Kai right in front but if you walk a few blocks you can access the beach area. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
