About this property

Artistic Top-Floor Tropical Penthouse – Steps to Maui’s Best Beach

If you're searching for a truly unique and comfortable Maui getaway, this artistic top-floor condo has it all! Recently remodeled and thoughtfully designed, this condo now features a brand-new kitchen and an advanced central split A/C system, providing climate control in every room—an amenity rare in most 2-bedroom condos.

Purchased from a celebrated American artist who used the walls as his canvas, each room is infused with vibrant, one-of-a-kind artwork that brings true island charm.

During your stay, enjoy all the high-end amenities, including a full-size washer and dryer, large-screen ROKU TV, luxurious oversized beach towels, and quality linens. For added fun, you’re welcome to use some provided “toys,” like boogie boards, tennis rackets, and snorkeling gear (at your own risk).

The balcony offers stunning partial ocean views as well as views of the majestic West Maui Mountains, immersing you in Maui’s natural beauty. Less than 100 steps from our property line to the best beach in Maui where you'll find one of the top snorkeling beaches, as well as a variety of fantastic shops and restaurants to explore.

Sleeping arrangements include a Polynesian Queen Sleigh bed in the master bedroom and two full beds in the spacious loft. The brand-new kitchen is fully equipped with a stainless steel refrigerator, quality cookware, and all the essentials for enjoying meals at home.

For an unforgettable island experience, this condo is the ideal choice. Book now and make yourself at home in this extraordinary space!

We stayed for a about 11 days and this was a perfect place for our family- it felt like home. A few particularly outstanding points: Location! The beach is just down a long driveway and the apartment was stocked with appropriate beach equipment for both adults and kids. Communication with the host was exceptional. I have to note that we had a medical emergency and the host was not only incredibly quick to respond but caring and thoughtful in a way I could not have imagined. What could have been a nightmare scenario for us medically was met with such grace by the host who helped us get what we needed to be medically sound to fly home. That, above all, will be remembered and with appreciation.

Walking distance to the beach

Very cool unit to stay in! The parking situation was really easy and not far to walk. The beach is also a 5 minute walk away. The view from the unit was really pretty too. The communication with the unit owner was also great. He answered and helped me right away with any questions. I’d definitely stay there again!

Perfect family getaway spot

We had a wonderful 9 night stay in this condo! General comments: Clear and timely communication with the host ahead of/during our stay. Thorough welcome package with instructions so we knew how to get there from the airport, parking, check-in/entry info, wifi and everything we'd need to know about the condo. Accommodations: - clean and had some basic supplies stocked for arrival (toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dish soaps, shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/hair dryer). - lots of bathroom towels as well as beach towels- kitchen nicely renovated and had all the bits and pieces we needed to make our stay comfortable- beds were all comfortable with lots of pillows to choose from. It was amazing to have 2 double beds upstairs so our 10 and 13 year olds had their own space. what a difference that made!!! - As per the picture there was a closet filled with beach gear. chairs, boogie boards, snorkels, sand toys, and a nice big sturdy umbrella- the main area has a very comfy couch (not a sofa bed but can easily sleep on it!) and while there is not a table and chairs inside we ate on the lanai a lot and between the couch and the stools at the island lots of ease to eat inside as well. - while the weather was hot between all of the fans, the cross breeze from the lanai and front door and the ac the condo was always at a great temperature (and we don't love sleeping in the heat so this worked great). location: can't beat the central location!

Great Location

This condo worked great for our family, close to beach, restaurants, shopping. Short drive to airport. Easy access to all parts of the island. Multiple beds in loft worked perfectly for our teenage kids. Took advantage of the provided beach equipment also. The few issues we had were solved quickly by owner. Only downside is it is a bit older/dated, but not an issue for our family. Would stay again.

Wonderful Place to Stay in Kihei - Loaded with Amenities!

Zapher is a wonderful host - easy communication via app or phone, and very responsive. We had such a good time and his place was perfect for our family. The decor is definitely unique and gives it a special island charm. The location is perfect and the amenities are great. Every place you want to eat and drink is nearby and convenient by foot or car. Parking is easy. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and even the sauna a couple of times, too. The new central air conditioning was great and the TV with cable and streaming apps was, too! We are so thankful to have been able to use all of the available beach and swim gear - from the chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, life vests, and sand toys. We used them daily and the kids had so much fun venturing farther out in the water and us parents enjoying the seats in the shade! Thank you so much for having these available for us to use!!! Thank you again for sharing your Kihei home with us! We highly recommend it!

The house worked very well for our family. We loved the relaxed vibe of the residence - it felt more like we were spending time at the home of a friend than a generic condo. The location was really convenient, an easy drive from the airport and once we arrived we were pleased to see so many great places within walking distance - and when we needed to drive, it was very well positioned to get to many beaches, restaurants, etc.

About the host

Hosted by Zapher

Host profile image
I live in San Diego and own a catering / event design company. I also own a condo in Las Vegas, Puerto Vallarta, and San Diego. I love sharing my homes and treating my guests like extended family enjoying my home.

Why they chose this property

I rented a unit in a nearby building in 2000 and fell in love with Maui and specifically Kamaole I Beach. I made another trip a year later and purchased this very creative condo. It's not what you would normally expect from a rental. It really is a second home. I hated renting condos with normal rental items like tacky rattan furniture and plastic plates in the kitchen. This is exactly what my condo is not. It's truly a second home without sparing any expenses. In fact, I regularly invest in this property so that my guests will truly have a second home experience.

What makes this property unique

I have tons of beach towels and ocean toys. The ocean is just steps from the property!
