Great place as advertised with views, spacious lanai and bedrooms with plenty of space for the 6 of us. Location great with ability to have a view and walk out to the ocean (which is why we stayed on that side of the main road). We had an issue with the dryer which was brand new so not their fault and they were quick to try and respond and when it wouldn't work, gave us an appliance credit which was much appreciated. Loved the layout and would recommend updating the peninsula stools which are hard to sit on (and we put small pillows so not a biggee) and would also recommend (as another reviewer commented) a cleaning of the couch and/or cover. Otherwise, super place and would rent again.

We loved Launa Kai! This condo was in a great location. Our family used the pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and grills several nights while we watched the sunset over the water. Absolutely stunning. The folks are very friendly, we were even serenaded one night by a really lovely woman playing Hawaiian style music.
The condo itself had everything we needed. Beach Towels, bath towels, a few beach chairs and umbrellas. We were sure to use the pineapple cutter when we made Hawaiian burgers on the grill.
It’s a short walk to the ocean from the condo. we saw turtles riding the waves in the evening.
All three bedrooms had working AC and ceiling fans. We Highly recommend this rental.

Overall the property was as advertised. It was very windy which is typical in the area but I'm not sure if it was exacerbated by the layout of the buildings - just something to be aware of. Made it hard to sit on the lanai at times. The main living area was hot but if we left the sliding door open I found it brought dirt (when I wiped the counter the paper towel was brown) but again conditions are very dry so not totally unexpected. The master bedroom didn't get very cool but cool enough to sleep. As someone previously noted, it is BRIGHT in the morning and the birds are LOUD. Not a deal breaker - you're in Hawaii! but I did bring eye covering which helped.
My kids couldn't get enough of the pool! We used the grill there one night. The whole complex is very nice and well kept.
We were there 8/6 - 8/24. (Fires 8/8) Prior to the fires I reached out to our home host and she was super responsive. i.e.- small plumbing issue, she had someone there within the hour. After the fires I didn't want to contact anyone about minor inconveniences.
Overall our stay was lovely and we'd stay here again.

This property had an amazing view but also had a few issues. The patio furniture was so uncomfortable and outdated and the AC unit blows hot air on you as you try to enjoy the view. So the patio didn't get used because of the furniture and the AC unit blowing hot air on you.
Even though the AC unit ran nonstop the unit never cooled down and nights were a little uncomfortable trying to sleep. They did have fans in each room and that helped a little. There was also ants in the master bath and upstairs bath. Beware this unit is a 3rd floor unit that has no elevator and not suited for Seniors with luggage. My parent are in their late 70s and had to wait for us to arrive to carry their luggage up 3 flights of stairs. The couch had some stains that need attention. This unit is in need of upgrades with the outside and inside furniture. The upside to the unit its in close proximity to most of the beaches, Road to Hana, Mt Haleakea, Lahaina and Costco! The pool was nice and there were a few grills by the pool that is shared by other guests. We had to wait for one to open up so make sure you get down there by 4pm to nab a grill. Parking was also tricky. If you got in late most likely your gonna be searching for a parking spot near the entrance. I give this place 3 stars out of 5 stars. If they would just update the furniture and fix the AC unit and the ants then it could be a 4 star place! We made the most of it and didnt spend much time there except to sleep.

We found our condo at Launa Kai C301 to be everything as described in the description on VRBO. The place was very clean and the view was amazing. We were right in the middle of Kihei and all of the great restaurants. The kitchen was the most well stocked as far as cooking needs that we have ever seen on any vacation. The one word of caution I would have is although their are split system air conditioners in each bedroom (which did the job) the main living area can get a little warm in the evening. Certainly not a hardship, but just a heads up. The balcony was a nice area to sit out and read or even eat on the dining table. All in all we were extremely pleased with our stay at Launa Kai.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom 3 bath unit, it was perfect. Our condo looked to be newly renovated.( it was beautiful) we couldn’t really walk to most places, but everything we needed was within a 5 minute drive. The property offered a beautiful swimming pool, several gas grills, pickle ball courts, and gorgeous views.
