Mana Kai 608: Oceanfront Remod- Nov. 5-9 now OPEN! 🌊🏄‍♂️

Welcome to our remodeled oceanfront condo on stunning Keawakapu beach! Enjoy the privacy of our 6th floor center condo. Picture perfect views and room for 6! Designed with a modern and comfortable surf feel in mind, we strive to bring the essence of Maui to your stay with us. We hope you will love it as much as we do!

This area around Wailea and Kihei is called "South Maui" and is the sunniest spot on Maui. It is located 45 minutes south of Lahaina. Fortunately, this area was unaffected by any wildfire activity.

Maui welcomes you! By coming to the island you play a crucial part in helping to keep Maui's local businesses, families and economy thriving during this crucial time of rebuilding.

Mana Kai 608: Mana Kai sits on the most ideal location on Maui on the most ideal beach "Keawakapu". This spot has direct access to both Wailea and Kihei, and 5 minutes to beautiful Makena and Makena Landing. Enjoy an easy 15 minute ride from airport which is nice after a long flight (vs. an hour drive from airport to Kaanapali/Napili/Kapalua/Lahaina areas). South Maui is located 45 minutes from "West Maui" or the areas of Kaanapali and Lahaina and a similar distance to "Upcountry" or Kula and the areas up and around the volcano Haleakala. Easy access to the rest of Maui, that's if you ever leave!

808 General Store is open at Mana Kai! This wonderful, locally owned family business sells sandwiches and salads, groceries, adult and kid beverages, reef safe sunscreen, beach toys and other items you may have left off your packing list.

Why Mana Kai? After an extensive search on Maui, it was crystal clear (like the water on this beach) that Mana Kai would be our choice. We absolutely love this 2 bed/2 bath oceanfront location situated in an ideal beachfront spot directly on the ocean and smack dab on the border of highly sought after Wailea and South Kihei.

Personal Property Manager: Since we don't reside on Maui, we (Mana Kai 608 owners) have privately contracted with the best Property Manager on the Island to take care of your every need at Mana Kai 608. Tracy O'Reilly has proven experience and treats her clients how we would welcome any guest into our home. Her team will help you navigate the expectations before and during for a worry free trip!

We take your health and safety very seriously! We have our own professional cleaning team for Mana Kai 608, your safety, comfort and well-being are very important to us!

OK, now back to the fun stuff....!

If you enjoy Wailea's 5-star resorts right down the beach but crave a kitchen, less fees, a bit more laid back vibe, have found that the “view” rooms or condos are set too far back from the ocean or tired of crossing the street to get to the beach, come stay with us at Mana Kai 608!

Mana Kai 608 is situated RIGHT ON, like directly on an incredible beach and walkable to the Wailea shops and dozens of restaurants throughout Wailea and Kihei. Wailea Tennis Club and lots of golf are nearby as well. This spot is perfect for families with kids of all ages too, less hassle, more beach/pool time and fun right out your door. We provide 4 beach chairs, 3 umbrellas, 2 coolers, metal hydroflasks, outdoor wine tumblers, beach towels, kids beach toys/balls and other beach goodies in the condo for your convenience!

After staying in many of the nearby resorts and condos, we chose Mana Kai because it sits on a stunning and level sandy beach, many convenient on site “resort-like” amenities, mellow vibe and sunny south Maui location. A truly rare find, Mana Kai sits directly oceanfront on one of the most clear and beautiful, swimmable beaches on Maui. Simply put, Mana Kai 608 is situated with better views, bigger lanais and even closer to the water than you get at the "oceanfront" or "ocean view" hotel rooms and you walk right out to the beach at Mana Kai or watch the sunset from your own oceanfront lanai.

The beach: Keawakapu Beach is a highly sought after beach for visitors to Maui due to its incredible clarity and world class snorkeling, sand bottom and gentle enough waves for all ages and water sports. Enjoy the view of the water in front of you instead of sitting behind endless rows of umbrellas and chairs often times at the resort beaches. Mana Kai shares the pristine Keawakapu beach with a row of multimillion dollar private oceanfront homes resulting in a more tranquil setting for all to enjoy. Staying at Mana Kai 608 you can enjoy all the incredible beauty that Maui has to offer, right beneath your feet.

Turn Key Service offering: We have privately contracted with Tracy O'Reilly and her team to manage our condo. Tracy's team will provide incredible service to our guests. They are a small Maui team with a proven track record.

Getting there: Mana Kai an easy 15 minute drive from the airport. Mana Kai is on the most southern part of Kihei, bordering Wailea, so you can drop down from Piilani Highway on Kilohana street to get to and from Mana Kai versus driving through the South Kihei road traffic.

The Space: OK, back to the condo itself! During your stay in Mana Kai 608, you will be cooled by ocean breezes and commanding sunset and ocean views. It features a private balcony with the sound of the waves in your ocean view bedroom. It also includes 3 ceiling fans and 2 new A/C units to keep you comfortable and cool while in Maui. This 2BR/2BA condo has a full kitchen and 2 private full bathrooms for enhanced privacy. Both bedrooms have new beds plus a queen-sized sofa sleeper with a memory foam mattress in the living room. The Master bedroom faces the ocean and the sliding shoji screens allow you to customize your privacy needs while not obstructing the ocean views! Guests will drift off to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves lay comfortably on plush mattresses and cooling memory foam pillows. Ahhh.. sleep is calling.

Mana Kai 608 has a private large lanai with amazing ocean views. The building is directly on the beach and includes a heated, oceanfront, saltwater pool which is a rarity in Maui. There is also a beautiful grassy area with lounge chairs and a shower to rinse off before heading back into condo. This 6th floor condo is located on one of the highest floors in the center of the building with coveted views.

Spend relaxing days soaking up the Maui sunshine as well as action packed days at the beach as you swim, lounge, boogie board, surf, fish, paddle board, scuba dive, kayak, yoga, walk/run along the beach, whale watch, boat, snorkel.
