This was our first stay in Kihei and we had a wonderful time! The location was great and we appreciated the quietness of our space. We were able to walk to a nearby shopping plaza where we found delicious food and coffee. Our host was kind and communicated promptly and efficiently. We will be back!

Kihei Condo

Second time in Hawaii, first stay in Maui. The condo was in a really nice quiet location with all the amenities you need to feel at home, plus beach access! What more can you ask for. We enjoyed cooking meals and having them on the balcony while enjoying the sunset and ocean views. Would recommend staying here!

Relax in Kehei

We loved our week in Kehei! The condo was a great home base for exploring Maui. Our condo was clean and comfortable. It also had beach chairs, coolers and snorkeling gear for enjoying trips to the beach. The condo has nice views of the pool area and the ocean. Most nights after dinner we took a short stroll over to the beach to look for whales and watch the sunset. We would gladly book this property for future visits.

Great views, Wonderful experience

What a great condo! It had everything a retired teaching couple could want. A really great pool & hot tub. A elevator form my sore back. Nice beach access with multiple beach entrances, up and down the street. Kihei is a very busy road. However, the only thing you could hear from our balcony was soft breezes and bird song. Would stay again in a minute!

Bed was very hard, linnens felt "cheap", pillows were not great- very lumpy. Some dirty dishes in the cabinet.We liked having the extra space - more than a hotel. AC worked well. Only 2 beach towels - wish there were more. Snorkels provided were broken - missing parts

Kauhale Makai Ocean front

We were there a month and had a great condo. It was well decorated with all the amenities. During our stay, the refridge died. We contacted VRBO and received a call from the owner almost instantly. He was able to replace the unit quickly. We lost a day of vacation and spoiled food in the process dealing with the cleanup and delivery. The owner refunded our day and lost food cost. Great place. Great views. Great owner.

My 2 adult children and I stayed here for 10 days over Christmas and had a wonderful stay. The property is very well set up with everything you need from a day at the beach, a picnic, short drive to restaurants and grocery stores or just relaxing for the evening. Laundry on every floor, front office very helpful and lots of parking. No complaints whatsoever. Gabriel is always available if needed. Thanks.

This property has it all. There’s not one thing to complain about or want differently. To start communication, you get a series of detailed emails. Very clear and concise information. Parking is easy, free and abundant. The condo is clean and comfortable with all the amenities of home. Amazing view, I could sit on the balcony for hours. It takes seconds to walk to the pool and maybe 2 minutes to walk to the beach. Everyone on the property was nice and respectful, and it’s a pretty large property so that’s impressive how nice and clean and relaxing it stays.

Great view

Curtains in both living room and bedroom were off the track. There was a secondary curtain that provide most, but not complete privacy. I asked that it be addressed, but no one came by to fix it. Not a deal breaker, but annoying :-)

Location is excellent (we love Kihei). We are a pickleball couple and this place is walking distance to Waipuilani Park which we played almost every morning. Amenities are also great! The pool is nice and the bbq set up is great and really clean. The only downside to this stay was the room could’ve been a little cleaner and I wish they were more clear about the laundry situation. Just fyi- the laundry is coin-op… you’ll need to download an app to operate and it’s roughly 4-5 per load (wash & dry). We probably wouldn’t stay here again for this reason. If you’re okay with the laundry situation, it’s a great spot and really nice views from the balcony.

6th floor penthouse is a dream! Beautiful, well appointed condo with incredible view. Not many condos are on the beach side in Kihei and this is a gem! Check in easy, free parking included. Wonderful pool area with kiddie pool and hot tub. Loved our visit! We will be back. Aloha!

Maui in December

We arrived a week after Maui was hit with a big storm. Parts of Kihei experienced flooding and mud. As a result, the parking lot had to be vacated for a full day for clean up. Thankfully, the property owner gave us plenty of notice and assisted us with options.

Great location

Condo was clean, great view, pricey through vrbo, Would book directly through Maui4life next time to save. There were chairs and scuba gear on the balcony, however they are quite worn out with the salt water, zippers didn’t close, straps missing on chairs. Bed was comfy. They had some random leftover items from others who have stayed there creams etc. But nothing designated for us. Felt a little cluttered. Overall was a nice stay.
