My wife and I visited Maui for the 3rd time, this time without the kids. We were looking for a good location with beach access, comfortable living quarters, a nice view of the ocean, and amenities that would allow us to prepares some of our meals. We were not disappointed with Nani Kai Hale. The property was accurately represented and is located right on the beach. The beach is not crowded and often you might be the only ones in the water for a mile or so. The condo location is off the grill and beachfront proper, but still maintains a nice view of the Pacific. The lanai is covered with the deck above and located on the north side of the building which keeps you in the shade for half of the day and is quiet. You can see the sun set off the lanai. Your neigbors are a sod farm which creates no noise or commotion. The building has a nice elevator and there are carts available to help with bags or groceries. Parking was very ample and right next to the building. Nani Kai Hale is located just off the confluence of two major roads and therefore allows access to the entire island easily. There is considerable traffic on the roads, but that is the nature of the beast on Maui. There are few major roads and everyone has to take them to get anywhere. If you want the touristy thing, you can drive down Kihei road south from the condo. Anything you might want can be found there. I would like to conclude by saying that Jennifer was very nice to us and made sure that we were up to speed with everything one might need and answered any questions that came to our mind. Internet and cable TV was there and worked perfectly. I would very much recommend this property for anyone looking to come to the island.

We were on Maui in early December and spent 5 nights in Unit 208. The one bedroom condominium was clean, comfortable, with a very comfortable king size bed. The two bathrooms and the kitchen were well-stocked. It was as good as was promised by the booking agency. The view from the balcony was very nice, the lawn by the beach and the walking beach were great. The air conditioner in the living room worked well, but with higher temperatures the bedroom would most probably need a separate air conditioner. We arrived after dark and had some problem finding the building because the address is on a main highway, but access is from a different unnamed small street. The sign on the building is visible only during the day. Once we found it, after 3 stops to get directions, everything else was fine. There was always enough parking and it was very quiet the entire time we were there.

I tried to book a stay at Nani Kai Hale unit #306. I made a deal with the manager, Tony, over the phone approximately two weeks before our arrival. We agreed that I would send a deposit to secure our condo. I sent the deposit via 2nd day air (the fastest method available) in order to submit our deposit in a timely manner. The arrangement was in place and we were planning on staying in his place. One week after booking the property, I called him to make sure that he had received the deposit and he told me that he hadn't even bothered to pick it up yet from the post office. He also told me that another party was trying to book it in the meantime. I told him that I was the first person to try and book this place but he informed me that if the other person's credit check worked out that they would get the place. After 3-4 days of Tony stringing me along I finally had to book a different place. I now come to find out that he never bothered to pick up the deposit at all and it was brought back to me as "return to sender" because no one came to claim it. This condo may be very nice, but the manager is very dishonest and is just looking to make a quick buck. I see that I am not alone in my opinion of 306 as there are other negative reviews regarding this unit.

We stayed at 309 and you could not have asked for anything more. Had everything, quiet, well maintained, beautiful view 180 degrees off the balcony, laundry and trash disposal on every floor, fantastic heated pool, great walking beach, comfortable outside chairs, great place for cooking out, easy recycling accessibility. Would stay there if I could.
