Aloha, Expedia is to blame more than the Condo Managment. Expedia claimed their rooms have partial ocean view when all they had was 2 BR with ocean views. May be one or two 1 BR partial views which were booked up. Other than that the place was old and dirty. The linens were not so clean. Choose somewhere else if... more

We stayed at "Village By The Sea" a few years ago, and I'm just getting around to reviewing it now! Honestly, I forgot the name of the place...but not because it was forgetul. It was probably the best extended vacation I've ever been on, and Kauhale Makai was a big reason why. I wish I could remember what room number... more

When we walked in we looked for the bedroom, but all we saw was a living room with one of those wall-fold-out beds. the tv was incredibly small, maybe 11 inches and was only visible from the couch. the view was awesome though, from our room we saw a perfect view of the ocean with palm trees and waves and... more

We returned to Maui and had a one bedroom unit at Village by the Sea. Just before our trip we got a letter that the pool would be closed but we could use the one next door (which was ok since that pool was nicer). When we got there they also had half of the parking lot closed off for... more

We booked our stay through Expedia.com for a studio condo at Kauhale Makai but were upgraded to a one-bedroom condo once we actually arrived. The front desk women were friendly and talkative and we had no trouble checking in, we even checked in about two hours early. The condos are all privately owned so each one will be different. We... more

We were sooo pleased with our condo at Kauhale Makai 501 where we went to celebrate our 25 years of marital bliss. The condo was everything we could have dreamed of and so much more. Not only was it clean, chic and a real getaway, the view was outstanding and the ammenities top-notch. We will definitely make plans to return... more

This was our 1st family vacation to Maui and the twin bed was horrible in Room 512. As soon as we arrived I notified the (inside room people) of the problem with the single bed in the 2nd bedroom. The boxspring was flat as a pancake at one end of the bed so it was like a slantboard. We tried... more

We ended up booking our trip through a property management company. We went with another family and picked this location based on the listed ammenities and the price. I believe we stayed in unit 127 (first on the right once you get out of the elevator). This unit was in need of a good clean and an update. The 80's... more

I absolutley love this place. I have been coming to Maui for the past 10 years, and I always stay at Village by the Sea. There are many reasons why I think it's the best place to stay in Maui: 1. It's not a huge resort, and Maui is such a relaxing place, this place definitely has the kick back... more

This is a basic, cheap condo/apartment building. The complex is old and plainly built, and is a mix of locals living there in apartments, and budget vacationers using the timeshares or renting from owners. The good part is it's oceanfront and most units do have views. Beyond that it's fine, but certainly not very nice and nothing remarkable about it.... more
