Best condo and view in Kihei

We had an amazing vacation at your Kihei condo. The location was perfect, the view was stunning, and the condo had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Just across the street is such a wonderful beach with tons of sea life including turtles there everyday. Just a short walk to great restaurants and store. What a vacation and we will be returning for another stay soon!

Amazing Stay

We love this unit so incredibly much! I have been coming to Hale Kamaole for 40 years and this is BY FAR the best unit we stayed in. Its clean, well equipped, comfortable, and has tons of space for everyone. Not to mention the view, which is insane. We have stayed in this unit for the last 2 years and would never stay in another unit again.

Great Location

We stayed here for 4 nights with our kids and had a great time. The location is ideal because you are right next to the beach so it’s easy to get there as well as enjoy the views. There are also no obstructions blocking your view. Also the pool is nearby which our kids liked. The place itself was very clean and the owners were responsive and helpful. We had everything we needed including a fully stocked closet with beach/pool supplies. It did tend to get hot in the late afternoon, but there were either plenty of windows to ventilate or the AC would quickly cool down the place.Overall a great experience if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Maui!

Is this heaven?

We enjoyed our stay here. The location is within easy walking distance to the ocean and many beach items are provided. Our family loved to snorkel and see the colorful and interestingly shaped fish. A Sea Turtle even stopped to say hello. The windows provide million dollar views and you can see Molokini from the condo as well. Wow. That's all I can say.

Great time

Overall it was great! Awesome location and a lot of fun. Only concern was the AC. It would get pretty toasty in the late afternoon. I believe all the units in Hale have the same system, so not a whole lot you can do without changin out the entire HVAC system. We would rent the unit again for sure!

Thank you for review and feedback. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would stay with us again. I understand your comment regarding the AC. We do have AC in both bedrooms and are getting quotes to install it in the living room. Normally Kihei has nice cool breezes in the afternoon that blow through our condo keeping it nice and comfortable. We look forward to you visting again. Mahalo!

Maui

The property is beautiful but due to us being there during the Coronavirus we couldn’t fully enjoy it and the area. Everything was closed or closing it’s doors. Micheal was very understanding in this very stressful time in that we needed to leave early and get back to Canada. Hopefully we will get to go back again and fully enjoy this property and area with our family.

Aloha Sue. Thank you for your compliments on our condo. I'm sorry that your stay was interrupted and cut short by the COVID 19 outbreak. This has been a difficult time for both guests and hosts. I hope once this situation improves and is behind us that you can come back and stay with us again and enjoy the full experience that Maui has to offer. Stay safe! Mike & Lynn Wellborn

Incredible views

Michael's condo was fantastic! The views are incredible, we could easily see whales throughout the day from every window and the lanai. Being right across the street from the beach and park was also great. We walked a few minutes farther to Kam 2 as it is a bit bigger beach and it had the best boogie boarding! I loved that the condo was so close to Wailea also and the shops and restaurants there. The condo itself was also great. Super clean, well updated and decorated. It was spacious and well-stocked. The only thing for folks to know is that there is some road noise. The condo enjoys the unobstructed views in part because it is right on the road. It did not bother us but for those sensitive to noise it could be a problem. Overall, I would stay here again. Michael was communicative and everything was perfect!

Our stay at "The Best View on Maui" was amazing! Plenty of room for our family of 4 including myself, my wife and 2 teens. And the view is absolutely stunning, you can watch the sunset every evening from the lanai or the comfort of the couch, or while making dinner in the well appointed kitchen.The owner, Mike, took the time to call and check in on us since we were there during the tsunami warning (which turned out to be no big deal). The tsunami did cause a few of our prepaid and scheduled activities to get rescheduled. Mike was very gracious and allowed us a late checkout so we could still get Molokini Crater snorkeling in on our last morning and come back to shower up before heading to the airport.The location is perfect, very close to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping and grocery stores. There's a beach park that's never crowded directly across the street (1 min walk), where the waves are gentle and with lots of sea turtles we saw up close while snorkeling.Kihei is a great town to stay in on Maui because it's centrally located to all the cool things to do like Haleakala (get up at 3am to see the sunrise, TOTALLY worth it), 20 min from the airport, and only 50 min from Lahaina (definitely do the Lūʻau there).We would definitely stay here again!

Host was communicative and welcoming throughout the process. Views and proximity to the beach are great. Much of Kihei has homes with great views in close proximity to the road. The road noise does not bother out family as views of the beach, Molikini, and the island of Lanai (from the lanai) outweigh the slight white noise. We had a delayed flight on the day before Thanksgiving and the host was able to coordinate checkout a few hours later than normal, which was a blessing since we had returned late from Hana the evening prior. Allowed the kids to sleep in a bit longer while we cleaned up for checkout. Plenty of starter soap and paper goods provided. We used the time to run a few extra loads of towels and pre-clean to reduce workload for the cleaning service. The lanai closet was stocked with 4 beach chairs, 3 boogie boards, a cooler, umbrella, and snorkel gear among other beach gear. Just keep track at the beach as most gear on the island appears appears to originate from Costco (Our family had fun noting all the same blue and yellow boogie boards). There is a 6-hour timer on each of the 3 mini-split head units to manage power consumption, but many units on the island advertise this. Some of the non-stick pans were beyond lifecycle and did not work well even with butter/oil, so these might need to be replaced soon. Overall an amazing place to stay and we would book again.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Wellborn

Host profile image

My husband and I honeymooned in Hawaii in 1987 and fell in love with the Islands. Maui turned out to be our favorite which is why we purchased our condo in sunny Kihei at Hale Kamaole. The grounds are beautiful, you are 30 seconds from the beach, and the view from our condo is stunning which is why we named it 'Best View on Maui'. We know you will enjoy your stay and leave with memories for a lifetime. Aloha, Lynn & Mike San Diego, CA

Why they chose this property

We have been to most of the Islands and Maui turned out to be our favorite. Kihei is a great town with a little of everything. Great beaches, a variety of resturants, shops, cinemas, grocery and drug stores, and not as 'touristy' as other places. You are 30 seconds from the beach at our condo and Kihei is always sunny.

What makes this property unique

If you want to enjoy your coffee in the morning while watching the whales and the paddle boarders or watch the sunset every night from where you are staying our condo will not disappoint. In addition we have 2 beautiful pools, tennis courts, and barbeque islands for those of you who like to grill.
