We absolutely loved our stay at the Hale Kai condo! Photos of the unit were accurate, though the location and views were even better than expected. The condo is literally on top of the water, overlooking a quiet beach park. The opposite side of the unit overlooks the pool and has ocean views as well.
Mid-January was the perfect time to watch whales right from the lanai and we appreciated the two sets of binoculars in the unit. There were so many whales and sea turtles to see and the sunsets over Lanai were spectacular!
The sounds of the ocean were amazing to fall asleep to. The ocean breezes kept the unit comfortable, even without A/C. Great WIFI. Walkable to a couple of markets/restaurants and the food truck park. Just about everything else in West Maui is within a 10 minute drive.
Communication with the hosts was quick and easy as was the check-in. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends/family and we hope to return soon!
