Nani Kai Hale # 405

The apartment was well equiped. The appliances both large and small were only fair, but generally happy with the accomodations.
Access to the beach and ocean was great. The pool is nice and cleaned daily but debris collects and I don't think the skimmer is working to clean the pool. Three onsite BBQs were a nice feature and we used them. Grounds are cared for well.

Bello Realty was a pleasure to deal with.

Just finished another two week vacation in Maui staying at the Nani Kai Hale #405. The unit met all of our expectations and we would happily stay there again.

The stay was good. We've stayed at this property at least 5 times and enjoy the location and being right on the beach. The hot water in the hall bathroom wouldn't turn on unless you held the spigot while turning the hot water handle and the drains in both bathrooms ran slow but it was a great stay.

This property is in a great location. The complex grounds are kept in fantastic shape and the grilling area, pool, and grass lounging area are a big plus. The beach area in front of the complex is nice and quiet. The laundry rooms on each floor are nice for not having in-room washer/dryers.

The unit itself could use some furniture updates in the living room and bedroom. It's nice to see from other reviews that updates could be coming soon. The couch and other chairs are pretty worn and the dresser and bed frame in the bedroom could use some updating. The bed however was extremely comfortable, could just use some new pillows. The bathrooms are nice, some cleaning in the showers would go a long way. Kitchen area was what we expected. Not a ton of storage or utensils but enough to get you by for a stay. Views from the lanai were great.

The main issue we encountered with this unit was the overall cleanliness. About 10 minutes after our arrival, we noticed the bottom of our feet were extremely dirty from walking around the unit. The floors were filthy and in need of a deep clean. We called Bello and immediately someone was there to clean the floors so big plus to them for addressing the issue quickly. Even with that cleaning though the floors still remained dirty and we had to wear slippers around all week to avoid dirty feet. Like previously stated, the bathrooms could use a good cleaning but other than that they were really nice. The other cleanliness issue we encountered was with the AC unit filters. We noticed the AC unit struggling to keep the rooms cooled and when we checked the dust filters, they were caked full of dust. We cleaned those and the AC unit ran better the rest of the week.

Although we wouldn't stay in this particular unit again, we would definitely use Bello Realty and stay within the Nani Kai Hale complex again. This unit needs a deep clean and hopefully receives that and the potential furniture upgrades soon.

The water are muddy at beaches in this area. It was disappointing so it you want clear water, gotta go a little further north or south. This condo has everything you need for the stay. My favorite thing is the 2 full bathroom. I feel that the furniture were old and needs upgrade. The fan in the living makes a scraping noise and the garage can is broken. It’s one of the trash bin that you have to step on the lever to open. Other than that, this was an ok for me. Oh one thing I have to mention, there’s no washer/dryer in the unit but there is a facility right next door. Be prepared to download the app and add funds to pay to wash your clothes.

Great location except for traffic noise from highway. Good beach in front and long walks either direction. Clean but needs some TLC, looks dated and a bit shabby.

Manager's Response

The unit is beautiful, but some important issues. The unit is poorly stocked. Utensils missing, mixed coffe cups& glassware. I called Bello and they sent new spoons, forks, and glasses. Couch, chairs, and pillows all totaled worn out. TV not set up. Unit overall is nice, but total lack of upkeep.

We have stayed in 405 8 or 9 times, and we always enjoy it. Well equipped, modern and comfortable, and the patio area is perfect for enjoying the sunset and just being by the water. The grounds are well kept and inviting. You will love this suite and location!

Hi, we have stayed in this unit previousl. We annually travel to Maui in October and our first choose is Nani Kai.

we enjoyed our week in the apartment, had every thing we needed for our vacation from towels, kitchen wear , good running hot water ,and even beach ambarella and chairs. The only little issue we had was the cleanness of the place specially bed covers and kitchen they need a little more care. other than that it was perfect.

Manager's Response

We love staying at Nani Kai Hale. The location in North Kihei is 30 minutes to Lahaina, 15 to Kahului, 20 minutes to Wailea area, close upcountry as well - so pretty much close to all areas and things to do with exception of Hana and Haleakala.
Unit was well equipped with everything we needed. Cleaning could have been a bit better - shower to bedroom, my feet were visibly dirty and the master toilet had mildew around the upper bowl, which I cleaned myself. Bed in master was comfortable with nice quality sheets! Sofa bed - well it’s a sofa bed - I’ve never found one to be “comfortable”, but it was fine for our daughter. .
Grounds were very well kept and we enjoyed grilling and sitting on the lawn for sunsets.
Will stay again!

We were overall very pleased with our rental experience. The place accommodated our family of 4 for 8 nights. It was easy to book, clean, and had all the basic necessities (towels, dishes, utensils etc) for our stay. We were pleased to find out there were beach chairs and umbrellas in the storage room!

We had been to Maui before and stayed further south in Kihei. This unit was ideal in that it was a bit further north and at the "crossroads" between Kihei, Lahaina and Kahului. We had great views, a nice pool, grassy area with lawn chairs overlooking the ocean, and there was a fantastic beach. The unit itself was clean and the extra bathroom was a plus at times. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

We had the best time, location and condo are fantastic. Suite 405 could use an updated dishwasher and new lawn chairs
But didnt stop our lovely holiday

This units deficiencies:
Not thoroughly cleaned
kitchen cupboard coming away from wall
holes inn sheets, bedskirt dirty
sliding glass door needs to be replaced
furniture very tired, needing a thorough cleaning
closet doors don't close (ensuite bathroom & closet)
needed more garbage bags, tea & hand towels
all wood trim needs to be replaced
chairs & glass table need to be replaced(very worn)
This could be a beautiful suite but needs updating

We had a great vacation with 2 kids just steps away from Sugar beach. Sunset is amazing in Maui!

Pleasant stay. It has everything we needed.

We always buy our own snacks (my daughter picks out $50 worth at Trader Joes for our round trip) since Southwest doesn't serve meals. I saw there were ants on the kitchen counter (kind of hard to see since the counter is black and they are minute size). So I opted to continue to store the snacks in the dufflebag in the bathtub. Day two of the stay the manager calls and says the handyman is coming into fix the bathtub (where our food was stored) and fix a handle off the dresser. I told her we didn't use the tub except for storage from the ants and have him wait until we leave. Management disregarded my request. The tub drain was up and ants were in my dufflebag with the zipper open one inch. I e-mailed management, sent photos and they didn't take responsibility for the ants and also inferred they came when we came. She also offered to bring an ant bait trap. Come on, when you are paying big bucks to go to Hawaii, stay in a condo etc. You don't expect to be treated poorly and requests disregarded. Additionally the patio shook while we stood on it and the patio door shuts on its own. I wish I had a ball to see it roll on the patio. That makes me question the integrity of the building. Other than the ants ruining our snacks the bed was comfortable, but the hide-a-bed wasn't (I tried out both).

Clean ! great location great amenities!

We enjoyed our stay even though we had 12 inches of rain, terrible winds and tons of mud! Stephen, the manager did a wonderful job of keeping things running smoothly after the mud began to flow. We only had sunshine the day we arrived, but we made the best of it. We survived our trip to Hana and made it out before the road was closed. We never saw a sunrise or sunset on the mountain - maybe next time. We will be back.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood by the beach. Very clean and well-equipped inside the condo unit. Would love to stay here again in the next visit to Maui.

A very nice appointed apartment. The King bed and Queen sofa beds were very comfortable. The bonus was the 2 full bathrooms. The barbecue area is great where everyone can gather at night to view the awesome sunsets. It’s also very close to Costco, Macy’s, Target, TJ Max, Walmart and many other shops in Kihei.

We had a great time. It is in a convenient location central to most things in Hawaii. We really enjoyed being able to see the beach and being able to walk right down and get to the ocean easily. Great for with kids!
