"Great location -relaxing condo on the West side
This condo is in a great location. The condo is fully stocked with pats/pans/dishes and everything else you would need. Condo is clean and staff is friendly.
feet from the pool and the ocean. I have stayed on this property before and will stay again. Loved the location!!!"

"Very frustrated, and depressing
Not good no hot water for a week now, electric on demand doesn’t work, waiting for new one coming Florida, boil water for dishes, 30 second shower as hot ends.. We are here for 2 more weeks not impressed. Condo needs updating we have stayed in much much nicer ones. We will need a good refund we didn’t sign up for this!"

"This the place to stay
I’ve been staying at Hale Kai each year for about 10 years or more. Obviously I consider Hale Kai my home away from home. The condos have all you need, the pool is right there and a small private sandy beach (sometimes a turtle will come there to rest). Plus at night there is the fun conch hailing of the sunset."

"Exceeded expectations
First, this unit is managed by Hale Kai and that has definite advantages. Other units are and Aribnb and they don't have the IMMEDIATE response time for issues that hale Kai management provides. The bed was great, bathroom clean, everything functioned throughout the condo. Location was perfect for us-no stairs to get to the pool, beach or BBQ. Plenty of parking. We will return to this unit."

"Fantastic Condo!
Hale Kai unit 117 was perfect. The location, accuracy of the unit in their description, and, best of all, the prompt service of the Hale Kai Staff. We hope to stay again next year! "

My daughter lives on Maui and this has always been a great place to stay. The units are clean and well stocked. The pool and beach are wonderful and we snorkeled right there. A sunset every night. "

"Perfect choice!
This was the perfect place to stay in Maui. The condo was very clean and well equipped. The view from the living room was amazing. The other residence were very friendly but not intrusive. The location was convenient to many sights and attractions. I will definitely stay here again."

"No Air-conditioning
There wasn’t an Airconditioner and we weren’t able to sleep because it was so hot nor come in from the beach to cool off. Don’t rent this one if you are use to air conditioning. There was one fan in the unit and we moved it around with us. We left after 3 days of an 8 night vacation. They wouldn’t work with us on any form of a refund. It was built in the early 60tys and hasn’t changed much since then. "

"Magical spot
Our stay was wonderful. It was our first time in Maui. Hale Kai is nicely located if you have plans to adventure during the day. The pool next to the ocean ... amazing. No one knows, understands or does customer service like Valerie!!!
Our unit needed many repairs and updates."

"Wonderful vacation

"Missing our Condo!!!
Great place to stay! Saw turtles almost everyday! Centrally located. Farmers Mkt across the st, coffee shop, organic food and bus stops out in front. Costs $2.00 to go to Front St.
Our Condo was clean & comfortable. Great time with my Daughter."

Excellent"

"A wonderful relaxing place to stay.
Hale Kai is a small condo that has a nice pool and access to a lovely beach both in the park and just steps away from our unit. #117 has easy access off the lanai to the poo, beach or park. There are not hords of people and it is an easy place to relax, read a book, or just stare at the waves, possibly seeing whales or turtles. "

"Please don't stay at the Hale Kai ;-)
Please don't stay at the Hale Kai because if you do I'm afraid there may not be room for me! Why would you stay anywhere else in the West Maui area? Hale Kai is close enough to everything so you can enjoy them but far enough away from the crowds that you'd think you were the only one on the island. The unit we stayed in was super clean and was situated so the Trade Winds blew through the unit day and night cooling it nicely. There was no gadget you'd want in the kitchen it didn't have. Situated within walking distance are coffee shops, grocery stores, small neighborhood style restaurants, snorkel/diving/bike rental shops, and probably every other type of store you would need. The only problem was the Hale Kai was so relaxing our stay went bye much too fast. We can't wait to visit again! "

"Great stay
We enjoyed our stay. The only thing that could use improvement is the living furniture. It was very soft and uncomfortable. The firm bed was wonderful. All of the kitchen items were on par. Love the beach and the pool. Fabulous upkeep of the grounds. "

"A wonderful stay in a great place!
Clean, very well maintained and in a great location. Everything was exactly as advertised. Even the kitchen had quality pots, pans, bowls and utensils. People here are very friendly and helpful. We donated a couple of beach chairs and a picnic cooler to the unit. Aloha!"

"Rainbow mornings
Spent 17 days at Hale Kai mid November 2017. Our unit was clean, comfortable and well equiped for a couple who love to cook. Well situated to shops, galleries and grocery stores. All walking distance away. Pool cleaned daily and the beach steps away. Loved the little bench overlooking the beach where you have your morning coffee and watch the daily rainbow. Look forward to our return visit."

"This condo was beautiful and very well appointed!
We walked in to an immediate view of the pool with the ocean right behind it. It was a very clean condo with great amenities. I would highly recommend staying here. "

"Eckhardt Stay
Over all the stay was wonderful, around 8 pm every night the neighbors would turn up the volume on their tv or stereo ,not sure and we could hear it the rest of the night . I would definitely ask for an upper level condo next time ,i think the view of the ocean would have been much better and you could enjoy the patio ,and leave the sliding screen door open all night to enjoy the sound of the waves and the breeze.

"Our home away from home!
We enjoyed the Hale Kai very much, because of the low key ambiance, the perfect location (great market, coffee shop and shops, parks all in walking distance). We enjoyed the pool area, seeing turtles swim by and getting to know some of the permanent residents. Karen and Valerie, at the office, were very nice and full of great information. The only thing we thought was lacking: we stayed for 11 nights and really would have liked one set of clean/fresh sheets during our stay. And 2 beach towels, for 2 people, is not nearly enough. Specially we were also using them to put on the sofa, to keep the sofa clean and make it more comfortable to sit on! and having to go and buy more toilet paper once we ran out, that seemed odd. We paid the same rate for 11 nights, then we would have paid for 4 nights! So fresh sheets, extra towels and TP would have been welcome! We are hoping to come back soon!"

"Another Great Time at the Hale Kai!
I've been coming to the Hale Kai since 1979 when I was 15. To my estimation, there is no better place to stay on Maui. Peaceful atmosphere, proximity to the ocean and, of course, the people make it a wonderful retreat. My only quibble this time around would be the people who recently moved into #116. They seem to have no concept about how thin the walls are and have no qualms about playing their TV at a totally unacceptable volume level. Even after I spoke with them about the issue they still persisted in playing it too loud. It wasn't a major issue because they were usually to bed before 10pm but it was still a nuisance when I was trying to watch my TV. Perhaps others will complain and they will learn to be more considerate. Hopefully! Otherwise, everything was wonderful. Thank You!"

"Whale season in Maui
We spent a week in #117 in February-March 2017. The location is great, the condo comfortable, and the whales were cooperative, although not too close to Maui. An occasional turtle crawled up on the tiny beach to the north. The place was clean and management very capable."
Mar 20, 2017 - David D., Murrieta, CA
"Great!
We had so much fun. Saw turtles daily fron the Hale Kai bench daily. What fun to sea whales also while sitting by the pool. I always tell friends this is the place to stay "

"Paradise
We have been to Hale Kai many times and it is always a joy. How can you top waking up to a necklace of clouds and rainbow over Molokai, a green sea turtle resting on the sand next to the steps and sunsets that take your breath away. "

"Best stay ever!
I usually stay at bigger resorts when I visit Maui, however my husband suggested small and secluded condos and sent me the link to Hale Kai. I was not too excited about it initially but agreed to book. When I arrived, I thought the unit was adorable and had a cozy relaxing feel. Pool was right outside the unit and the beach was just a few steps away and was not crowed with tourist. It was very clean and well organized. Overall this was my best experience in Maui. We were walking distance to coffee shop and small grocery store. Farmers market was also close. Landry room was clean well organized with new units. Staff was very friendly. I love this place. I've been telling all my family and friends. Great price for a wonderful week in Maui!

"Perfect setting for a Maui vacation on the beach near Ka’anapali
Unit #117, located north of Ka’anapali (despite its Lahaina address) is a perfect setting for a Maui vacation. There may be better locations, but I have a difficult time imagining one, especially at this price. Valerie, the manager, was very friendly and helpful The sunset views from our ground-level patio, with a backdrop of Molokai’s cloud-shrouded peaks, the island of Lanai to the south, paired with the traditional blowing of the conch shell to bring the day to an end, and the sea turtles visiting the adjoining beach, were simply magical.
The unit was clean and airy due to a multitude of louvered windows front and back to take advantage of the cooling effect of the prevailing trade winds. Additionally there was a ceiling fan in the bedroom, and a ceiling fan and two floor fans in the living room for extra cooling. The kitchen was modern and well appointed with a full compliment of most any dish and utensil a chef would need. The bedroom had a king size bed, 6-drawer bureau, two night stands, a chair, and a wall-to-wall closet stocked with plenty of hangers. The bathroom was modern and well appointed, although we would have liked more shelf space for leaving out our toiletries. My wife had no issue with the following, but for me the shower head was very high and (assuming a very short person or elderly person with arthritic shoulders can even reach it) the stream of water hits the opposite side of the shower stall no lower than about 50” from the floor. I found that mildly annoying, but could be easily remedied with a hand-held shower head.
All in all a very nice place which we highly recommend for its casual, island charm, and proximity to the ocean and quaint shops, although “suburban” shopping is only about 8 minutes away. We would not hesitate to book this unit again if/when we return to Maui."

"unexpected gem
Loved the local feel of the complex. Great location. The sea turtles were amazing, especially the bug guy who came up to rest on the beach each day. The evening conch blowing at sunset was a nice touch. Would stay here again"

"Lovely Hale Kai
This is our third stay at Hale Kai and it's always a pleasure. All you need for a relaxing vacation. To top it off you can see turtles right off the reef on the condos beach. Their are condo owners staying here for long periods of time so they make sure everything is kept up. Walk down the street to health food market or further down grocery store. Valarie in office is so accommodating and helpful. Can't wait to visit again. "

"Hale Kai #117
By accident, I booked a condo at Hale Kai in Lahaina (a friend had actually recommended a place in Kehei). We didn't have one regret, and said many times that we wouldn't have traded Hale Kai was nearly everything we would have wanted. The only thing we missed was air conditioning on two hot and humid days. Most of the time the ceiling fans and breezes were just fine. "

"Our home away from home...
It was our first time in Maui and staying at the Hale Kai made our trip memorable and enjoyable! We opted to stay at a condo instead of a hotel/resort mainly because we wanted a kitchen and we wanted to feel more "at home", which is exactly what we got. The unit was clean and comfortable. It was peaceful and quiet during our stay - mainly families with small children and older guests. I loved that we had our own little beach just steps away where we saw sea turtles almost every day! We also had the best view of the sunset every evening! Hale Kai is also right across the street from a coffee shop and local market, which was very convenient, and also short drive away from a supermarket. It is also near some good local restaurants and an ABC Store if you forget to bring any travel necessities.
It is definitely not for people who want luxurious 5-star accommodations - if that is what you're looking for, please book a room at a nearby resort. But this place met our needs and expectations. The staff here are also very welcoming and friendly. I would stay here again.

"January 2015
No manager on site from Saturday noon til Monday morning. Because we were up early and back later we did not see management until Tuesday afternoon. Needs to be available more. Tired decor; slow toilet; leaky dish washer; loud and ineffective bathroom fan; outdoor gas grill half working."

"Our trip to Maui
Very nice location but the apartment needs an upgrade in furniture, dressers and closet smell really bad and very old carpet in bedroom and living room , but the kitchen was nice new, stove cupboards , livingroom very old curtain and bad stain on it . We would go back to your building but not in that apartment ,the one next to us was super nice , newer style and upgraded."

"Hale Kai in West Maui
Loved, loved our main floor unit #117. Clean and comfortable. Relaxing, close to pool and a short walk down to a small private beach. Next to a green public park, across the street from a small strip mall with a few shops and food market every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A good place to get coffee in the mornings at Badass Coffee. A few blocks away from an ABC Store and Times Food Market. Plenty of good restaurants in and around this property. A 10 minute drive to Lahaina. Staff in office very nice and provided excellent customer service to us."

"Looking out at paradise...
Although our stay was fabulous as usual, our unit could stand a wee bit of spiffing up when compared with some of the other rental units we saw. Definitely some new patio furniture would be in order. Having said that, though,overall we loved our stay here and will return once again. Hale Kai is simply the best!!!"

"Patio Furniture
Really enjoyed my stay there and the unit.
Only 4 Stars on the quality of the furniture due to the functionality of the patio furniture, I was really disappointed in it.
The sloping back of the chairs made it very uncomfortable to eat at the table, you had to lean forward to eat. This prevented me from having my friends over for meals at night and we never used them. We ate at Ron and Ev's, unit 119.
Also we could never take them to unit 119 because of the sloping back when we had our evening outside meals. There was 7 of us.
They need to purchase patio furniture with the normal straight back functional chairs that allow for a normal position for eating.
Without the improvement of new patio furniture I would not rent this unit again.
The other rental units I saw were just fine.
See you guys next time.
Gord :) :)"

"Home Away From Home
Our family stayed for a week during the Christmas holidays. We had 4 condos (#213, #119, #118, #117). The condos, the property, the staff, and even the other guests made you feel like you were home. The location was beautiful. You could sit on your baloney and watch the whales, the sea turtles, and spectacular sunsets. We look forward to our next trip back to our Hawaiian home."

"December getaway
We visited dec 7-11 and had a great time. The property is right on the ocean, close to shopping and has everything you need. Lounge by the pool and take a quick dip in the ocean or pool when hot. We would go back."

"spectacular sunsets
We enjoyed 2 weeks at #117, it was a home away from home, well stock with everything you require! We also really enjoyed watching the turtles out front and our morning coffee on the patio! we always had our meals on the patio. We really liked there was a laundry room on site to use, it was kept spotless with a large bunch of apple bananas hanging in front to take and enjoy. We had rented a car and were glad as you can't just walk to Lahaina. This was the 1st time renting a condo and it was great. Could use new pillows on the king size bed! Really liked the louvered windows to take advantage of the trade winds! "

"stellar accommodations
I rented Hale Kai #117 for the week of my honeymoon. The rental experience was professionally handled and Valerie was extremely helpful, as my credit card company's fraud prevention kicked in and halted their charge to my card which could've complicated things. No complications arose, and Valerie was very responsive.
I was initially concerned when I booked the room that the pool behind the unit would obscure the view of the ocean. The pictures don't do the view justice, and my fears were quickly erased upon peeking out the back door. It's a perfect location and a wonderful view. I was also concerned to discover that the unit does not have air conditioning, and being a larger fellow, I tend to get very warm very quickly. Leaving the jalousie windows open on both sides of the unit allowed plenty of air through and kept everything at a very, very comfortable temperature, along with ceiling fans in the bedroom and in the living room.
The unit was very, very clean. No pests, bugs, etc. disturbed our stay.
Parking was easy and not crowded. The laundry facilities onsite were clean and easy to use/access. The location is beautiful, as it's immediately adjacent to a nice beach/state park. We even had five sea turtles playing in the surf right below the pool to welcome us on our first day there.
We didn't have occasion to use the kitchen for more than storing cold beverages, but the stove was brand new and the refrigerator is plenty cold.
I would heartily recommend #117 to anyone heading to Maui. A very reasonable price, and high quality accommodations. I'm already trying to plan another trip to Maui, and Hale Kai is the only place I'd want to stay."

Condo looks out on pool with ocean and islands of Lanai and Molokai in the distance. Sea turtles feed every afternoon on nearby reefs. Friendly year-round neighbors who act as activities directors, leading the conch shell salute to the sunset every evening. North of Lahaina and Kaanapali. Farmer's market and store across the street. Adjacent to a beautiful beach park with children's playground."
