What We Love
Kai Makani is simple living at its best. These units are a great option for full-time residents or folks looking for a “lock and leave” option. The durable stucco exteriors and tile roofs are made for Maui’s climate. The proximity to Mai Poina Beach Park really sets this complex apart from other developments.
What We Could Do Without
This location can be quite windy. Mid-morning through the afternoon can clear the beach pretty quickly. If you’re into wind sports, midday at Mai Poina Beach is a happening place.
