Hale Kai means "Home by the Sea" in Hawaiian, and we are well named since we're located right on the West Maui coastline where we feature scenic views of Lānaʻi and Molokaʻi directly offshore. Conveniently situated midway between the Ka'anapali and Kapalua resort areas, we're just a 10-15 minute drive from most any West Maui attraction. We are located in real community with a local park, a thrice weekly Farmers' Market, and numerous, reasonably priced stores and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. Come stay with us and know what it is to have lived Hawaii instead of merely visited there!

I don't even want to write a good review, cause I want you all to stay away and have it for myself. When it says Lahaina, that's misleading. It's two full free exits past Lahaina in Honoapiilani. My husband and I stayed in a one bedroom here, and I cant wait to return. I felt most like a local and not some touristy trap. We rented a one bedroom, slept 2 only, on bottom floor. Local markets and shopping right across the street, all walking distance. The Island Market style ABC store is a ways down, we drove there. What another posted said about no view on the bottom, they're wrong. Our view right out to the pool and ocean was ah-mazing. I'd leave those blinds open 100% of the time if the husband let me. No privacy though from others using the pool and walking by, you're right there. I liken it to a Melrose place sized community. You're all facing the pool, there's no fencing between your door and the outdoors, just small side walls. Community BBQ available, and super private usable beach. Your small beach is for your condo complex and the neighboring. First week in January, and I saw 3 other people out there the whole week. There is coral when you walk out, but it's a nice shallow shelf you can walk around, snorkel (turtles do show up), or just float. Its typical West side windy in the afternoons. The building is definitely older, like 60's. Some of the condos are super updated, the one we stayed in was updated and still had that old feel. I HIGHLY recommend any of the units facing directly towards the ocean, the ones where you see the ocean in the distance are on the side facing a public park, and they're not any cheaper for the lack of great view. Face the pool/ocean or go home :)…

This is a great budget condo. The lanai is not as private as we like because both sides are open to the neighbours on either side and the pool is elevated so sunbathers on the pool deck seem very nearby. They kind of spoil the beautiful view but we hung towels to give them and us a little more privacy. Since the pool is elevated the rooms below on the first floor have no view at all - definitely glad we were on the 2nd floor. We could watch the sunset behind Lanai from our lanai. The walls are thick so didn't hear the neighbours. The surf was very loud during our whole stay so that helped. Everyone is friendly and the office manager is very helpful. The mattress is very soft and the traffic noise from the road is very loud - even the surf didn't drown it out. The kitchen came with everything we needed except there was no sugar, tea or coffee - only salt and a few other leftovers. We loved the location but the park next door was always busy even though it was much too wavy to snorkel. Only saw one whale far far out in the distance. We will stay here again if we have the chance because the price was great. The free internet worked great. There's paid laundry beside the office. We didn't use the pool or BBQ's. There was a beach bag and some boogie boards and beach chairs in the closet but no snorkeling equipment. We didn't need or miss airconditioning.…

We had a very nice time here and would definatly come again , no airconditioning but it wasnt needed ,there was always good airflow . I coud see some people saying it needed to be updated but me personally I liked the rustic feel to the place .I would definatly come again but I would contact the owners directly if I could . The site I went through VRBO took approximately $190 from me that I wasn't expecting for using there site . It was a great vacation . If the owners read this please attach your contact info ,thanks .

We are leaving this gem today regrettably but all good things come to an end. This was a return visit having stayed here in October 2018. We had a upper floor ocean view Condo #215 this year, last year #217, and for the two of us it is perfect. This was our third trip to Maui, and we to say it is an idyllic location is an understatement. The Condo's are kept in excellent condition, the grounds and pool are perfect, Valarie the Manager and her team are great to deal with, nothing is too much trouble. we hope to return some day, and would book this Condo again. Upper Floor, Ocean View is the way to go

The view from the patio is wonderful. However, the unit needs a lot of work and a deep cleaning. The bathroom was dirty and the dishes in the cabinets were also dirty (pictures submitted). The door to the bedroom, which was damaged to start with, did not have a handle that worked so when the breeze closed the door I was trapped in the bedroom. The office had to climb over the next door balcony and come in through the patio to get me out. They had to pry the door open. Without any air conditioning, sleeping was very difficult. It was nice to be able to snorkel just outside the pool but little else was enjoyable.
