Property couldn’t guarantee me a room despite making the reservation about two weeks in advance nor did I know the room I was going to get until a day prior of arrival. The inn keeper claimed to be “short-staffed” when it’s literally just her own self managed property and lied saying if we needed anything she lives close by in the area…not on the property itself. Don’t even get me started on the linen policy, atrocious. The headache this property caused me was not worth ruining the relaxed vacation mindset. Not worth the “savings” if you’re vacationing on a budget, spend that extra $200/300 for an actual quality hotel room.

We loved the small, quiet feel of this property. Such a great location only being a block away from safeway, just a few minutes drive from downtown lahaina, and the middle of all the great beaches in either direction! The seating area near the water we used every day and saw so many sea turtles and dolphins! The parking area, though a little small, was great because its only a few steps from your room, and there was always spots. There are boogie boards, umbrellas, and snorkel equipment in a closet on the property for use. The kitchen was great to have to make our own food to save a little money. The only thing we wished we had was a drying rack for our things since we were in a room without a lanai. Other than that, we will definitely stay here again and recommend to our family that travels to maui!

This is a clean, well kept, older property; a more traditional Hawaiian place to stay. This is NOT a resort property, and they are completely upfront about that. We loved our stay because it was exactly what we wanted. While it is on the water, there is no direct beach access (but there are amazing beaches just a couple of min. driving or 10-15 min. walking). From the sea wall, we were able to watch sea turtles and stingrays each evening slowly swimming by. The units have a kitchen, sitting area, and dining area which allowed us great flexibility in our choice of dining. We don't typically spend much time in the room itself so the outside areas were much appreciated as was the lack of a TV. Wifi was very good, so we still were able to remain connected to the outside world, but only when we wanted. If you are looking for a reasonably priced place to then venture out over the island, you will love this location. If you are lookin for an all inclusive resort... look elsewhere. Thank you to MaKai Sunset Inn for helping us have exactly the Hawaiian experience we were looking for.
