Hale Kai # 217

Aloha and welcome to Hale Kai # 217

Maui Magic

Imagine walking through your new oasis, and having one of the most outstanding views of the ocean. The ocean is so hypnotic, that nothing else seems to exist but you and the moment you are in. You could sit for hours listening, and hearing the ocean playing like a symphony to your ears. The view off of the deck is first the blue glimmering pool, followed by the ocean and island landscape. This is something that everyone must experience in a lifetime, if not as often as possible.

Inside our place, you will find beautiful, new furnishings throughout. Brand new bedroom features such as new bed, lamps,night stand. The living room is now for couples. Honeymooners to long time marriage anniversary celebrations. New amenities include more than simply comfortable couches and chairs. Big screen t.v.with blu-ray player. And of course, the view of a lifetime. We know you will be more than satisfied!

When you are not in the condo there are many activities, which include many surrounding World Class golf courses, to 5 star dining. Some say that whale watching is some of the best in the World. We have giant Sea Turtles, Birds, Dolphins, and many other forms of Mother Nature. We are only minutes from the historical town of Lahaina, and lovely Kaanapali.

There is lots of shopping, Food, Fun, Art, and Recreation. But if you would like to relax you can go back home to be hypnotized by Mother Nature, at our lovely condo. Finish off the evening BBQing under the stars, and standing just a few feet from the ocean. Life doesn't get any better than this. So please come relax and enjoy a life that is calling you.

Rates for this unit are based on two occupants, (additional $20/night/person), and also vary depending on season, length of stay, and whether booked at the last moment.

  As with all year’s past, This was a wonderful stay. So close to the ocean and pool with spectacular views all day long. All that we could ask for in a Maui Vacation. These units are just feet away from the water without the resort facility feel. I highly recommend these if you’re not looking for the glitz of a fancy resort. Come experience the real feel of Maui.

  AMAZING! Amazing amazing amazing (is that too many "amazing's?) This condo was fantastic to stay in, a cute apartment fully furnished accompanied by a breath-taking view of the ocean and direct access to the beach. If that doesn't sell you on staying here...I don't know what will. In addition, this complex is close to town which makes it extremely easy to get around without driving to Timbuktu.
  Melody will take great care of you and your family during your stay, offer great recommendations and helpful trip advice for you first timers. Thank you for providing a smooth check-in process and the literal best vacation I've ever been on!

  My husband and I stayed at this property 40 years ago when I turned 30. Since I turned 70 this year we wanted a special place we could bring our family and each could have their own unit. I love being right on the beach. I love that there are there’s a market & a coffee shop and the park next-door. Simple and perfect! Valerie was very helpful as well. The kitchen had everything we needed. Now we all have memories to share

  Location is fantastic! It's right in front of the beach and there's a walking distance farmer's market nearby. The only thing I wish they had was portable or wall unit AC as I was there in September and it got too hot to stay during the day. However, it gets cool enough to sleep comfortably at night. The place was super clean and had no mosquitos! I highly recommend this place!

  This was our 2nd visit to Hale Kai, first stay in #217, and it was a perfect fit for our family. My wife and I were comfortable in the master, and our two boys (10 and 8 years old) were more than cozy on the two sofa's that are actually impressively comfortable beds. I even slept on the large couch one night and I almost preferred it to the king bed, I'm 6'1.
  
  Cannot recommend Hale Kai highly enough...we will be returning ASAP.

  Top Notch stay at Hale Kai. A little gem.
  
  Room 217 definitely needs a freshening up as most of the other condo owners have already done to theirs.
  The bathroom has needs and should be updated.
  It's quite easy when walking around condo 217 to see what should be taken care of and or remodeled.

  We doesn’t the first week in Kihei and that was amazing until we got to Lahaina! The condo is in the beach, our view was breathtaking looking over the pool
  And then ocean. It was located between Lahaina and Kaanapali. It had all we needed in it, it is a little dated and could use a spring cleaning , it was clean but the corners and behind the dressers and in the drawers could be cleaned but really not a big deal. There are the nicest people there, front desk lady was so accommodating and if something needed fixing it was so done! Highly highly recommend this place. We will be back!

  My stay at Hale Kai, 217, was very nice! The room and view were totally as described, very comfortable and had a fully equiped kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was sufficient. The other tenants were all a little older, 60's, 70's, but that made for a quiet stay. Lol The location was great, about 10 minutes from Old Lahina and also had other shopping and restaurants close by. The off street parking was also very adequate and I never had trouble finding a spot.

  Great Location close to everything you need. I enjoyed the small beach just steps away from the pool. Not many people used it, gentle enough for snorkeling and we observed turtles from the shore. The common area was lovely and well maintained. Off street parking and laundry facility a plus. Sunsets from the lanai were awesome. The guide books and other local books at the condo were useful; there were 2 beach chairs. Snorkel rentals are a short walk away at Boss Frogs. We’ve stayed at places that had boogie boards, etc. that would be nice here. The unit itself was OK, pretty much what you’d expect.

Then, you are right next to a perfect little beach where we saw many turtles. The condo itself was comfortable and we were able to get nice cross breezes keeping everything cool inside. The grounds were very clean, the pool was nice and cold, always a chair or lounge available. A great escape from all the big resorts with tons of people.

  - Great. Stayed in unit 217. Would just suggest replacing coffee pot, since the burner was rusted. The unit could use a toaster.
  Other then that, things were great.
  I recommended that the property posted signs to people not to mess with the sea turtles. Not your obligation to do this, but it would be nice as I saw tourists, that don't know any better touching them and I'm not sure if they knew that was illegal. (they should know better, but people are lame :)

  This place is awesome! This was our 3rd time at Hale Kai in the past 4 years and we have already booked for next year. We like that it is a small complex (40 units) located right on the beach. The common areas are well maintained - pool and BBQ's always clean. Our unit, #217, was great. The lanai is a perfect place to watch sunsets & the turtles in the surf, and we even saw whales fairly close in.

  Jerry S from Vancouver, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We chose Hale Kai for its good price, great location and nice views. Little did we realize just how nice it was. We looked out over the pool to the ocean and perfect sunsets. The water just in front of Hale Kai has a small rocky reef, but on either side of the property are small but nice beaches. Every day we saw large sea turtles feeding and sunning on the rocks. At one point we saw 5 at the same time. I got to snorkel and swim with one of them. What an experience to share the water with such a large, gentle creature.
  
  Our condo was perhaps smaller than we expected, but was very comfortable. I would recommend this unit, or any unit at Hale Kai.

Dishwasher did not work; fridge is very rust-stained (aesthetic); no shelving on fridge door made it considerably less functional. Unit is also unnecessarily over-furnished which gives it a very cramped feeling. Love the location and the complex and would recommend that, but would not stay in this unit again.

    Mahalo for staying with us at Hale Kai. Being on ocean with our wonderful views. Shortly after you left the new refrigerator and dishwasher were delivered. Sorry for any inconvenience you had during your stay. Owner did get some new furnishings to clear up more living space. We will be taking new pictures of the unit for our web site in the next month.

  The vacation was a good time & the property it was nice. I liked the windows & the big slider door at the back... the breeze would blow place. It had everything we needed.
  HOWEVER-the bathroom shower floor & the side of the refrigerator.
  HINT TO MANAGEMENT: Bathroom shower floor needs resurfacing or something.

  Steve & Kitzie R from Lake Oswego, OR recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at Hale Kai on and off for 35 years. Unit #217 has been our Feb. home for the last 4 years and we love it. Furniture, TV, kitchen, outside seating and a good bed are all great. What needs to be improved is cleanliness. The chair/ottoman, rugs and bedspread need attention. The unit is also cluttered and as a result it uses up precious space. The full bedroom closet restricts renter space, and artificial plants and flowers block view and eating space. The inside of the fridge door should be fixed to allow for more room for food. Our suggestions are meant to upgrade a unit that is already a gem and can just get better. Thank you Terry for sharing #217 with us and we look forward to more beautiful February's at Hale Kai

  Great location,a person couldn't get any closer to the ocean and the beach. Good place to view sea turtles. The property is well maintained including a clean pool. This unit could really use some updating in the kitchen and bathroom, and better bedding and pillows. Amenities are close by, Whaler's Village Mall, and restaurants. Enjoyed Duke's and Leilani's, and the market down the street.

  Neighborhood feel; not part of resort complexes nearby. We have stayed here twice, and this place is a treasure! Units are very comfortable and well-equipped, and the grounds and buildings are well-kept. But the best part is that the complex is right next to a state park, where you can walk along the beach and watch the babies and dogs go in the water. We will be back!

  Jo C from Auckland, Auckland recommends this vacation rental

  We had a very relaxing time, our views were fabulous, the staff friendly & very helpful and went the extra mile (literally, to take us to the local airport for our departure because the taxi co. wouldn't). Although the condo was a little dated, with a couple of minor maintenance issues, it felt very comfortable, had everything (and more than) you needed, it was perfect for us. A special treat were the turtles feeding immediately in front of the condos, if you can't afford a snorkle tour, pick up mask, snorkle & flippers from the ABC store and get all the turtles and tropical fish you want. We had a fabulous relaxing time, thanks.

  We were fortunate to have stayed in room #217 at the Hale Kai for 2 WEEKS! We were also albe to view other properities of friends who travelled at the same time as us. We were quite impressed with the "fanciness" of their accomodations, but NONE of them had the same convenience as our location did. We were able to vacation ON OUR OWN TERMS! Our own everything....private beach, private pool, full kitchen, large bedroom, clean grounds, our own BBQ's to use, convenient walk to stores, restaraunts and shops and ohhhh lets not forget...OUR OWN VISITING TURTLES...ON OUR BEACH! Loved staying in the Hunt's unit and plan on booking it plus 2 others for Christmas of 2015!

  One major shortcoming with the unit was that it's very cluttered with some unnecessary/dublicate furnishings and kitchen stuff. We hope owner will reduce some of them in the future
