About this apartment rental
"Alau” – Unit 202 – is an upper-floor, lofted, ocean-view studio located in Hana Kai’s Mauka Building. The unit accommodates up to 4 guests with 1 queen bed on the main floor and another queen bed in the loft. *Note* SLEEPING IN THE LOFT JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER OS NOT RECOMMENDED, due to the higher temperatures at that time of year. Expanded sliding glass doors open onto a spacious covered lanai with teak furnishings and a breathtaking view of the Pacific ocean and Hana Bay. Porcelain tile floors and counter tops, tub/shower combination with custom tile details and bamboo accents throughout.
As you travel the beautiful Hana Highway through Maui's untouched rainforest, you will be surrounded by breathtaking views, majestic waterfalls and a lush tropical landscape. Your journey ends as you reach the town of Hana . HERE IS UNSPOILED HAWAII, where you can relax and enjoy the true spirit of Aloha. The Hana Kai-Maui Resort gives you a place to dream, rest and rejuvenate, first hand, with the comforts of home in 17 WELL-APPOINTED APARTMENTS. The sound of the Pacific out your windows—ONLY 100 FEET FROM THE WATER'S EDGE—soothes away all thoughts and concerns. It is one of “Heavenly Hana’s” hideaways, SITUATED CONVENIENTLY AT THE EDGE OF TOWN OVERLOOKING HANA BAY.
We offer FIRST CLASS STUDIO, ONE AND TWO-BEDROOM ACCOMMODATIONS that feature exquisite grounds, beachside barbeque, FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHENS, PRIVATE LANAIS, and FREE WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICES. Our property has PANORAMIC OCEANFRONT VIEWS, where you can experience incredible sunrises and moonlit nights while turtles and dolphins swim nearby in the surf. A spring-fed koi pond and lush, tropical grounds add to the simple luxury of your stay at Hana Kai-Maui Resort.
The Hana coast offers some of Hawaii’s most beautiful, intimate beaches. From the black sands of Wainapanapa State Park to world famous Hamoa Beach, you can enjoy swimming, snorkeling or surfing close to your doorstep. There are many hidden places for you to explore. Just eight miles away, the pools at Oheo Gulch (“seven pools”) offer great scenery and refreshing swimming in Haleakala National Park-Kipahulu. Hikers will enjoy a panoramic hike up through the bamboo forest to Waimoku Falls. The trails at Wainapanapa will bring you to fresh-water caves or take you along the coast to spectacular views where you can sometimes see humpback whales as you hike along the cliffs. Fill your day with a stroll along the beach, or find a quiet place to sit and enjoy the unspoiled beauty.
The staff at Hana Kai-Maui is here to serve you from 8am - 5pm daily and our ON-CALL MANAGER is always available if assistance is needed after hours.

The sunrise view from our condo was spectacular! The condo was very comfortable for our overnight stay. We were surprised that there was no air conditioning or elevator. Overall it was lovely.

Came to Maui wanting to do the drive to Hana. After reading multiple sources we decided to make it a 2 day excursion requiring an overnight stay in Hana. Hana Kai was easy to find, had adequate parking, was close to The Ranch Restaurant and both food truck locations, and Rm 202 was very nice. Clean. View from the hill above the water is the view we came to Maui for. The mattress was excellent. Water pressure was good. There is no AC, but being on the windward side of the island you don't need it with the slider open. Whereas all accommodations in Hana are pricey, this was the most affordable.
6.0
The property and location is as advertised; both well maintained and beautiful scenery. However, we underestimated having no A/C. Even with fans blowing full speed and balcony open to the ocean, we found little relief from the hot and humid climate. We sweat just hanging out in the condo at night and even took cold showers but did not sleep comfortably. So much that we ate the $$ and booked somewhere else after the first night of our reservation. This was beginning of September.

fantastic location overlooking ocean
We loved the fresh breezes coming from the ocean, both during the day and while we slept. The condo was extremely comfortable and in an ideal location. It was very luxurious to sit on the balcony and admire the exceptional view. Things to keep in mind are that cell service may be unavailable until you reach the town (as stated in the information) and the bandwidth doesn't support streaming. Leaving the screen doors to the balcony open allows noise from other guests to be heard. At 10:00 one evening (when quiet time is listed as starting), I called out to the folks next door that it would be nice if they moved the party inside, which they promptly did.
The staff was exceptionally helpful and we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo.

Nice place to stay
The description of the property was accurate. Things we really enjoyed included waking to the ocean sunrise, the koi pond, the sound of the pebble beach, and the little host touches like a cold water pitcher in the fridge & a wash cloth dedicated to beach things like sand & mud. The manager & staff were on-site during the day; we found them kind & helpful. The only minor drawback we found was the many slatted doors & transoms - good for ventilation, but not so much for privacy.

The condo was lovely and exactly as pictured. The sounds from the ocean were so soothing, and Hana was a perfect way to start our trip to Maui. Plan ahead and buy your groceries, stock up on gas, etc., near the airport or wherever else you’re traveling from. Prices skew higher in the Hana area, so we were happy we had everything we needed with us. The road to Hana is not for the faint of heart, especially the Southern road. Definitely take the road most traveled to Hana, and consider a utility vehicle. We had a Camaro, which was not ideal for the driving conditions, but we’ll have stories to tell for years to come. We made a reservation at the Hana Ranch Restaurant (within walking distance) and were not disappointed. Overall we had a great stay and are happy this is how we decided to start our Maui adventure.

Very Relaxing Place
The property location is very serene. I woke to early morning sunrise colors which we could see from our bed. In the morning walk along the water was so peaceful. The room has beautiful water views. I will come back to stay here.

Overnight Stay
We had two couple stay at this location; unit 202 and 205. My husband and I stayed in unit 205, so that us what I am writing to. It was a comfortable, clean, and convenient place to stay overnight after our back road to Hana trek. We finished the top side the next day. Much enjoyed the view from the balcony and listening to the waves during the night. We picked up some snack and drinks at a small local grocery and had a very relaxing stay.

Great Spot in Hana
This is a great property in Hana, which is a small, locals-only type of town with very few places with privacy or beach/ocean views. The balcony view of Hana Bay is easily the best feature here. Expect to hear some of your neighbors on their balconies, but it’s hardly a nuisance. Everyone was respectful and quiet hours were honored by guests. This is life on Hana! Also, we kept the balcony doors open at night and listened to the waves and never felt hot or uncomfortable sleeping … in supposedly humid August! The location is central to all beaches, the national park, and walkable to food trucks. If you’re staying in Hana, this is the place!

Peaceful place to rest your head in Hana
My husband and I stayed 2 nights here as part of our belated honeymoon. We had a wonderful experience. Our view of the ocean was fantastic. We loved watching the sunrise in the mornings and listening to the waves at night. Although there was no AC, we were comfortable at night sleeping with 2 fans (we brought one down from the loft) and the ocean breeze. Very clean. Quiet. We highly recommend staying over in Hana. It was wonderful to have the time to experience Hana and go to the national park. Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely gorgeous spot on Hana bay!
Communication and check in process was very well done. Pictures of room on VRBO were absolutely what we saw. The experience could not have been better! Mahalo!

The view of Hana bay and the black stone beach form our apartment was magical. The rooms are open spacious and designed to make the most of this view. Hana is a small town and does not have many facilities in terms of shops and restaurants (Thai food trucks mostly)! Would advise to bring food and the kitchen at Hana Kai was well equipped to cook.

Sunrise beauty
Terrific condo. Perfect sunrise from our deck overlooking the black sand beach. Close to the food trucks and restaurants. Traveling to Hana from Kihei took 6 hours with stops, so it was great to have a place to stay. FYI- there is no need to pack food for the trip. There are many opportunities to stop along the way for food. Water might be the only suggested item needed to bring along. We would recommend this unit highly.

Stay in Hana!
We are so glad we stayed the two nights in Hana! While we didn’t need the loft, we appreciated the room with the view and covered deck - especially with the rain.

Comfortable
We planned to drive the Hana Road and stay in that non-touristy area of Maui. The area is beautiful but not touristy. This VRBO was very nice, convenient, had everything we needed. Thank you!

Lovely view and well maintained. Had some difficulty finding someone at check in. The costs are high but the location is amazing. The laundry facility is accessible from the office and they charged 10 dollars. Only available when office is open. They were unaccommodating for some flexibility on this strict time window. The unit had everything we needed to cook and be comfortable otherwise. Having the windows and door open was amazing with the breeze and surf sound.

Beautiful condo away from everything.
Beautiful setting and remote area with amazing wild beaches. Not much to do in cooler weather, so a tv with DVDs would make it alot better. Also, was a bit cold but could not adjust any temperature and the window slats are stuck open which makes it breezy and noisy from neighbors. Tried to take a hot bath but was barely warm. Like I said, absolutely beautiful area and I'm glad we stayed the night. Personally would not recommend for extended stays and I don't think the occomadations and amenities match the price.

Hana
We stayed here for four nights in November. Has a nice little black sand beach adjacent. We enjoyed our stay. Please know there is no air conditioning no televisions spotty cell service. But there is Wi-Fi. Wonderful place to disconnect and enjoy the moonrise over the ocean. There are few restaurants in Hana but several food trucks and kitchen facilities in your condo to cook your own meals. We really enjoyed our stay!

Private Sunrise on Rock Beach
Beautiful view of the ocean from our room’s deck. Walk to the backyard of the property for a private view of the sunrise or stars either on their lawn chairs or the black rock beach. The room was nice and spacious and had a well equipped kitchen. Right in the town of Hana - great stopping point to really enjoy the Hana Highway one day and the Piilani Highway the next day. Not many restaurants but enough for a great meal and great food trucks for breakfast in the morning.

Awesome place
The condo was just as shown in the pictures. Location was great, room was very clean. Awesome sunrise and superior coffee!!!! Highly recommend getting up to watch sunrise while having a cup. As others have indicated, the condo is a bit warm, especially if you are coming from a colder climate!

We had a lovely time staying at your condo.(second time). The boys were happy with the upstairs to themselves. Listening to the ocean was the best. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

Picture perfect
Couldn't have asked for a better location and amenities for our short, 1 night stay. My husband commented we should have stayed 2 nights. The unit had everything we could have wanted for comfort, meals, etc. It was clean and spacious. Check-in and out was efficient and the staff were very nice, especially with recommendations. The weather didn't agree with our stay and there was a beach hazard warning, but that didn't stop our adventures. So much to do in Hana within walking distance. There was a mention of increased temperature in the loft area, but we were just fine with a fan and the fact that is was April. I am sure it may get quite toasty mid-summer. Would highly recommend and look forward to a future stay.
