You fly thousands of miles to be at the ocean. So why not stay at this oceanfront condo where you are right on the beach! Many other condos are located across a busy street, a long walk from the Ocean.

Our beachfront condo has a direct ocean view from BOTH bedrooms. (Many units do not have that.) Its 2-bedroom/2-bath condo has one king size bed in master bedroom and two extra-long twin size beds in a second bedroom. We have two-zoned air condition units that cools the entire condo. We also have 4 ceiling fans located in both bedrooms, dining, and living room areas. It has fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, DVD player, safe, and telephone.

Check the available dates on our calendar now. (If your dates are not available, please our other popular oceanfront properties at Royal Mauian, VRBO #390074 or HomeAway #987523.)

Mana Kai condo is located at Keawakapu Beach, the southernmost part of Kihei next to Wailea, an upscale resort area, on the dry side of the island. A mile long Keawakapu Beach stretches to Wailea’s Mokapu Beach. It is one of the best swimming beaches in Maui and less crowded than Kihei’s other roadside beaches.

Our condo offers a stellar view of the crescent shaped Keawakapu Beach; and neighboring islands of Kaho’olawe and Molokini; and majestic 10,000 feet high Mt. Haleakala. During the winter, you can enjoy whale watching right from our condo where humpback whales come quite close to the shore.

Mana Kai is a heaven on earth where beautiful ocean and golden beaches are just steps from the condo. On the ground floor of the building, you can have your entertainment booked at an activity desk. 808 Deli is scheduled to open to provide you with grocery and prepared food, as well as variety of drinks. The restaurant/bar is currently undergoing an ownership change and is expected to open in 2023.

Kihei is located on a sunny and dry side of Maui where you can enjoy many activities. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling right outside of the condo with many tropical fish. Go diving near Molokini Island. Dive boats leave from Kihei Boat Ramp. There are championship tennis and golf courses nearby. Many shops and restaurants are in South Kihei and Wailea. Venture out to 10,000 feet high Haleakala for hiking, bicycling, or horseback riding.

Amazing Location
This is the most amazing place to stay in Maui! The view from the balcony is stunning and the sunset view is perfect! Our kids loved the easy access to the perfect swimming beach and pool. It was wonderful to have a kitchen and easy access to laundry. This property was everything we could have wanted and more!

Beautiful Oceanfront Condo
The condo was exactly as described in listing. The view is just perfect and so relaxing, and it’s oceanfront! Our family eats breakfast at the lanai every morning as we look and admire the beautiful Keawakapu Beach. The condo has everything we needed, from beach chairs, beach umbrella, kitchen utensils, seasonings, etc. There were a few constructions and maintenance (pool) going on while we were there but Keiko and the property manager was very responsive to inquiries and concerns. We will definitely come back to this unit.

Prime location on the beach with spectacular views. We spent a lot of time enjoying the large balcony. The unit was comfortable and had everything we needed for our 8-night stay with my wife and 2 adult kids. Everything went smoothly from the reservation to check in. Well managed. Highly recommend.

Perfect Family Vacation
The description of the unit is very accurate - unit was clean and exactly what we needed for 2 teens, a gramma and my husband and I. There was always a custodian cleaner doing rounds all day - wiping little things that showed us the place is well cared for. The best was the view and that the pool is on the ocean. It was so easy to go sit pool side, then go swim with the turtles at the beach right off of the property. The beach and grass areas we public but not very busy or loud with music and beech parties. It was nice and quiet. The pool code kept the pool secure and our family loved that the pool was 7’ deep so they could really “swim” … the beach is clean and has good snorkelling in the morning. The unit itself isn’t super updated but the twin beds have nice memory foam toppers for excellent sleep. The King bed is comfy - there were ample pillows and blankets. The laundry was not busy and fine for what we needed to be washed. Lots of dishes and Tupperware and containers etc - we didn’t need the coolers but they were there. It was exactly what we expected. The outdoor hallway was clean and the elevators worked well. There are big cargo carts in the lobby if you need to bring in lots of stuff when checking in or out. The little tuck shop had essentials. There are restaurants 5 minutes away either direction. We felt safe and secluded and would highly recommend! Check in was easy and we could change the door code to a number we could remember. Till next time!!

Great Resort
The resort exceeded expectations as it was right on the beach and had nice amenities. The on-premise shops were very nice to have. There was great snorkeling directly in front of the resort. We enjoyed walking along the beach and boogie boarding in the ocean. The condo had great views from both the front and the back. The included amenities were nice to have: beach chairs, boogie board, pots, pans, beach towels, soaps. The beds and bedding were comfortable. The only complaint is that when the condo above is occupied, you can hear a lot of noises that sound like furniture getting moved around. I'm guessing it doesn't have carpet so you hear chairs moving around along with doors and dividers opening and closing. Luckily, the condo above was only occupied for less than half the nights we were there.

Best view from Lanai!
This was the perfect spot for our week-long vacation for two adults (friends) and their sons. The condo was well stocked with all the kitchen supplies, beach chairs and umbrellas, cooler, boogie board. Host was very helpful with questions prior to our stay. Local contact assisted with one request. Very convenient to Wailea shops & beaches. Highly recommend this! But keep a week free for us to return! Mahalo

The Mana Kai is no ka 'oi!
Without a doubt the Mana Kai is the only place I want to stay at on Maui. I've been coming here for 35 years and have tried different condos and you just can't beat it in my opinion. You have a great beach right outside with amazing snorkeling and sunset viewing. It has a very nice lawn with lawn chairs and a beautiful pool. There's a general store that is now managed by someone who gets it. They have great fresh food and a selection of so many things you either forgot or didn't know you needed like that Roselani ice cream! The rental shop has whatever you need from kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkel gear. There's even a concierge that can book your excursions if you need help. And don't forget orange kitty! So sweet. The unit we choose this time was perfect. It is very well appointed and had everything we needed. Loved not having to rent chairs and umbrellas. And a plus... the sofa bed is comfortable. It is decorated nicely and one of the best locations closer to the beach. Thank you for having us!

Goo overall but there are some issues that might be important to specific guests
Great location. The condo was clean and well equipped for guests wanting to cook. There were maintenance issues. The patio door lock was broken - its on the 4th floor so unlikely to be a port of entry by criminals but it would have felt better if it would lock. There is an electrical outlet on the patio we would have used but it did not work. My big reservation was slow internet speed. We had 2 days of rain when I tried to work. There are 2 radios you can use. The faster of them, that I measured at 20 Mbps was not working and the slower ran at only 1.56 Mbps which is paralytic.

Stellar Maui beachfront stay!
You won’t find a more incredible stay in Maui. You are literally beachfront/oceanfront, with panoramic ocean views with palm trees from your huge sliding glass doors that open up onto a patio with seating looking down onto the oceanfront and Kweawakapu Beach. The condo is impeccably furnished and kept very clean, with two full bathrooms and full kitchen with everything we needed, including beach chairs and umbrella and cooler to take the few steps down to the beach. The beach is beautiful and perfect for all ages with long stretches great for swimming and boogie boarding, and there is a great reef out front to snorkel at as well. There is also a small store in the hotel itself to pick up all sorts of items and a rental shop for boogie boards and surfing equipment, SUP boards etc. The owners couldn’t be more pleasant and responsive, they checked in with us to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. I will never stay anywhere else in Maui. There is no where else where I am that close to the beach and have the huge beautiful views right from my condo. Amazing!!

Fabulous view for a great price!
We absolutely loved our stay at Mana Kai. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for the kitchen, beach, and hanging out. Loved the Tommy Bahama chairs. Made things so much easier with those. The cooler was great for the road to Hana. 2 Pool noodles and we left 2 more..a snorkel set (had my own so didn’t use it)… an umbrella,..and more. Games in case you are stuck inside which we never were! Keawakapu Beach is now one of my favorites. Nice mix of guests and locals who were all friendly and welcoming. We made friends on the lawn and watched the sunset every night. They lit the torches and someone always blows conch shells. People start getting spots to watch around 5. The sunsets are gorgeous and so is the weather. Really enjoyed the south side. Great snorkeling right there at the condo, but make sure you go in the morning if it’s calm. The balcony provides beautiful views and it’s nice to eat out there. The A/C units worked great and I was worried about that. Shampoo, conditioner, ample toilet tissue and a starter paper towels. The General Store at the condo has lots of supplies and laundry pods. The food there is good too. To many things to say about our stay, but I think you can tell we enjoyed ourselves and would stay here again in a heartbeat!! Aloha!

The BEST Unit in the BEST Kihei Location
We just returned from our week in paradise and we couldn't be happier with the location that we stayed. The Mana Kai is absolutely fantastic! The beach is AMAZING, the snorkeling off the beach is great, and the tide pools formed by the rock added extra fun for our family. Unit 405 is WONDERFUL! The unit was wonderfully clean when we arrived (we even got to talk to the cleaning staff as we arrived and they are wonderfully nice and even shipped back an item that we forgot in the unit after we left Maui). The view from the unit is breathtaking. I also would like to note that this is THE BEST STOCKED VRBO unit we have ever stayed at! It had everything we needed except for some sand castle toys for our kids, but we bought some at the local store and left them in the closet for the next family that stays here. My kids loved visiting the orange cat that live at the Mana Kai (Meow Meow). I just can't say enough good things about this location and this unit. If you are debating between this unit and another one, this is the one you should choose - hands down!!

Hello. I am Tomoko. I grew up in Japan, and I live in San Francisco Bay Area. I have been renting Royal Mauian condo in South Kihei on VRBO since 2004. We renovated this beachfront Mana Kai condo and are renting it since 2011. I love to travel. I have visited many different places. But, South Maui is my favorite place to be. I think you will soon discover why.

Why they chose this property

This condo has a very expansive beach view. It is also very close to the Ocean and a beautiful beach. You can snorkel right next to the condo. This beach is underused and has a relaxing quality to it. For those who want to be at a paradise, this is it.

What makes this property unique

Ocean and Beach view and the sound of the Ocean from our condo. You can truly relax here.
