They made a modular home called the Mai-Kai which was inspired by the restaurant. Features include "rain cape thatch, basket weave grass matting, bamboo and Manila line mouldings, traditional south Seas rattan furniture and colorful shag carpeting." Now, someone go find one of these out there in Florida! There are images of it in the Mai Kai scrapbooks. Great shots with the Mai Kai girls there. Makes it look very inviting!
