As frequent visitors to Hawaii, we fell in love with this little stretch of Maui. It offers the best of a Hawaiian island getaway! Our condo is part of the Mana Kai Resort, where people have returned year after year for two generations. It is located right on what many consider to be one of the best beaches in Maui. From the lanai (balcony), enjoy the sound of the waves and the panoramic view of miles of blue ocean, golden sand beach, palm trees, Molokini, Lanai, and Haleakala.
We are located in Beautiful South Maui, far from the recent fires in West Maui. South Maui offers Wailea, Makena, Big Beach, Molokini, surf lessons, golf, snorkeling, SUP, kayaks, whale watching (seasonal), great restaurants, and shopping. Travel to Paia, Hana, and Haleakala. Many different boat tours are available, including Molokini and Lanai.
Our condo underwent a full floor-to-ceiling renovation completed in December 2022! Come stay in our freshly updated unit! Besides all new cabinetry, flooring, appliances, and furniture, we improved our Wi-Fi connectivity and upgraded the TVs and sound system. New air conditioning installed in 2021.
A new addition to the resort is "808 Deli and General Store" which offers many of the popular freshly made food items from their flagship Kihei store as well as convenience items. The Five Palms Restaurant is closed. The space will be renovated to welcome a new restaurant which will be part of the Merriman's family of restaurants.
Please look through the photos above. Hopefully, the pictures are worth a thousand words! Now for the details:
• The entire condo is 762 sq. feet
• Bedroom One is really a studio apartment with a sleeping area with a King size bed, living room, full bath, and kitchen. It functions wonderfully as a “great room” during the day. At night, we love falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves with the sliding glass doors open. It is 604 sq. feet.
• Bedroom Two definitely offers privacy from the main living area. It is 210 sq. feet. It has its own full bathroom and TV. It can be made up as two twin beds OR as one King-size bed, BUT NOT BOTH. It has its own air conditioning unit and thermostat. Through the large windows enjoy the striking view of the ocean and west Maui. The picture windows do have a mirrored, reflective coating on them, however, in full disclosure, under certain lighting conditions, it is possible for people walking by to see into the room. Floor-to-ceiling drapes easily provide privacy when needed.
• The living room has a full-size sofa bed. TV's in the living room and the second bedroom have been upgraded with streaming and screen mirroring services. Wifi connectivity has been greatly improved within our unit and Wifi is free.
. A full kitchen ready for preparing and serving your own meals.
Couples have told us that although they didn’t need two bedrooms, they sure appreciated having them. Here are some of the benefits they mentioned:
• A separate workspace for making early morning calls to the mainland without disrupting the other person.
• A separate space for one person to be up and about when their “sleep cycle” doesn't match their partner's. This can be even more common with jetlag for the first few days.
• The convenience of two bathrooms.
Maximum Occupancy is for five.

Beautiful location. Easy beach access and great availability to rent kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards and snorkelling equipment right there!
Love the cross breeze which keeps an enjoyable temperature.

This is was an incredible property and wonderful location. Beautiful sea life in front of property.
Only issue is the room is very close to bathroom/elevator so there was lots of traffic/noise while our toddler was trying to nap.

We loved staying right in the beach and enjoyed the view from the balcony. We spotted whales and dolphins in the distance most days, and saw turtles when we snorkelled in front of the building. The condo is lovely and we appreciated the twin beds and bathroom in the second room for our kids.

Great multifunctional location, in the middle of everything:
- you can go to the beach few times a day, for different activities
- morning and evening beach walks
- drive one way to Wailea and Makena beaches and shops
- drive another way to Kihei gift shops
- or watch all around from lanai
Own kitchen gives you freedom from the restaurants, to eat what you want.
Overall impression is way better than in Fairmont at the end of the road, few years ago, although it was good too.

Well-appointed unit with lots of extras (beach stuff, small kitchen appliances, hair dryer, starter supplies for laundry/dishes). Cleverly laid out condo with beautiful views. Facility is convenient and well-maintained. On-site staff was friendly. Mary provides helpful planning resources and great recommendations. Highly recommend and would return!

We loved our stay! The space was amazing and it was a great location right on a very nice beach. It had a wonderful ocean view and right in front of the resort was also a good place to snorkel. There were five of us total and we were very comfortable in the space. Mary was an awesome host to work with. I would highly recommend it!
