Kauhale Makai - Maui Condo & Home

I recently stayed at Kauhale Makai Resort. The grounds are nice and maintained well. Front desk check-in lady was very polite. This is the second time I have stayed at this resort. The resort has elevators, which is a huge plus when you have luggage. The beach is easy to get to and very close. The resort has laundry facilities on each floor, that costs $2.50 a wash and $1.50 to dry. This was my third trip to Maui and I like this resort because it is so conveniently located. You are close to Hana Highway, so about 15 minutes from the Ocean Center and about 15 minutes to Wailea. Lahaina is about 30 minutes or so away. It was just plain convenient to everything. You have three grocery stores nearby as well as Long’s Drug Store. This resort has two buildings. This time, I stayed in the northern building in condo 310. This condo is close to the elevator and laundry room. Getting into the condo was not intuitive. There is a key in an old lock box. You have to really press in the code slowly and getting the cover back on is tricky. This condo is very similar to the one I stayed in on my previous trip to Maui. The condo has a north west view of the parking lot with an ocean view in the distance. It isn’t a bad view, but last time, I had a condo overlooking the pool and more of an ocean view. This condo has all the basics and an updated shower. It does have a hairdryer. The toilet has issues and after reading a review on this condo, I was able to fix the issue. Which is to manually flush the toilet by taking the lid off of the tank. The condo is decorated with a Hawaiian theme. If you arrive late in the day, I would stop off to get coffee and breakfast items. There is not much in the kitchen as far as supplies. At the time we left, there was foil and plastic wrap. Some spices and sugar cubes. We were given one roll of paper towels and two rolls of toilet paper. Dish soap/hand soap and sponge provided. The owner was receptive to questions via text. I learned late in the trip that there is a beach umbrella in the closet. The condo was clean, but worn. It suited our purposes and the price was right. Maui Ono donut truck is close and the best donuts I have ever had. My daughter gave two thumbs up to the gluten free cinnamon roll at the Cinnamon Roll Place.

We love this property. Our condo has an ocean view. There’s a pool and hot tub. Our lanai has shad until about 1 in the afternoon so we watch the whales and relax. It’s also a great place to watch the sunsets. The ocean is maybe 200 steps away. Definitely will come back next year

We stayed in a gorgeous condo on the fourth floor. The kitchen was well stocked, it was clean and the view from both lanais was gorgeous. The washer and dryer were not in the condo but the laundry room was just down the hall. We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.
