My family of four (me, wife, 8 y.o. boy and 4 y.o. boy) had an amazing stay at Mana Kai. Our 12-day trip to Maui was about as perfect as we could have expected. I've been to Maui several times in the past (Kaanapali three times and Wailea once), but this was my first time staying in Kihei. Mary's unit offered more than enough room for the entire family. The full ocean view was spectacular with sunrises and sunsets to watch from the balcony. We went to sleep each night to the sound of gentle waves crashing below us. The beach was very kid friendly. Warm water, mild current, 1 ft waves...both my boys were very comfortable in the water by themselves. Snorkeling at Mana Kai was also a lot of fun...large variety of tropical fish close to shore and we even saw a handful of sea turtles on several occasions. As far as amenities go, Mary's unit provided everything we needed for proper fun at the beach (boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, etc). The property itself has a rental shop (kayaks, paddleboards), a sundries store, and a good restaurant "Five Palms" if you want to eat/drink on site. The staff at the property were all very kind and helpful. Within a couple minute drive is the town of Kihei which has lots of great restaurants, grocers, retail stores, shave ice, etc. Excellent location overall. My family made lasting memories on this trip, and we're already looking forward to our next stay at Mana Kai.
