We think our condo will be everything you are looking for to have a perfect vacation. #214 is located on the second floor; close enough to the ground to watch all the local bird and quail activity across the property grounds and yet high enough to offer extensive views of the boats on the ocean, colorful water sports and humpback whales breaching in season (Dec – April). Every sunset is different and can be seen from different vantage points from either of the private lanais off the living room or master bedroom.

This condo is the largest floor plan available; don't be fooled, but look at this closely - most 2BR/2Bath units at Kauhale Makai are 799 sq. ft. Only a few units like ours with both bedrooms directly looking out upon the ocean are 975 sq. ft. What you end up paying for a unit doesn't correlate with what you will get, so look closely at what size you are getting. We have done an extensive remodeling project involving the entire unit. You will enjoy the beauty, inside and out. It is so peaceful and private here.

This condo sleeps 6 with comfortable options for either two couples or a family. One bedroom has a King bed and the other bedroom has a queen-size bed. Both rooms serve as master bedrooms with views of the Pacific Ocean, West Maui Mountains, neighboring islands and Ma’alaea Harbor. Each has its own separate adjoining bathroom. For the family option, the King bed is prepared in advance as two twin beds. The queen pull-out sofa bed in the living room is new and very comfortable with advanced mattress technology (mattress is 8 1/2" thick, as thick as a standard bed mattress).

Experienced Hawaiian vacationers will appreciate the quiet, central air conditioning; a rare commodity in condo complexes in Kihei. This really makes for a more comfortable stay.

Boogie boards, air mattresses, beach toys, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach towels and coolers are provided. There is a wide range of restaurants and a farmer’s market within a mile of the condo. Nearby you will find shopping centers ranging from outlet malls to world class boutiques - and golfing in Wailea. Beaches known around the world are only minutes away.

Last, but not least, to rent this condo is a unique experience in service and communication. Margie, the owner, does not work through a managing agency through the reservation process but receives all communication herself before and during your stay. She has a fast response rate and as you can tell from the multiple rave reviews, having this connection with her makes a big difference towards having a wonderful vacation experience. She does not charge an administrative add-on fee for her hands-on care of her guests like you will see on many listings.

This oceanfront condo was a perfect place for my husband and myself, along with my sister and her husband! All of the bedrooms and the main living space had an amazing view of the ocean. The main bedroom was incredibly spacious with a bathroom. The secondary bedroom was much smaller but nicely decorated. It also had an amazing view and an attached bathroom. The kitchen was nice and perfectly stocked with plates, utensils, and cooking items, so we could cook meals. The living space was great. It is a bit smaller than what the pictures look like, but still very nice. The balcony off the main area and the master bedroom was very nice and we used both often. The condo complex has a pool, a kiddie pool, and a hot tub. The main pool is nice, but beware it is NOT heated, so it is a brisk swim. The hot tub is great. This complex has nice grills, so we were able to grill alot. It is also within a short drive of restaurants and bars, but we walked to restaurants and bars, too. The location is great and the condo view is fantastic. The host was very friendly and provided us with any information we needed. She also made us homemade bread, so when we came in late and were hungry--her delicious bread was waiting for us! YUMMY! GREAT TIME! Thanks so much!

The area is suffering with lack of tourists! I can't say how many times we were thanked for coming. Our snorkeling excursion could hold 67 pp....we had 18. The location of this condo was great! (not close to the fire area). A lot of restaurants, shopping, etc. within a short drive. It was great to have 2 bedrroms with ocean views. Several beach chairs, umbrella, ice chest, ect at the condo. Was great to load in the car and explore other beaches. Was also fun to sit in the hot tub at night. Margie, the owner, was attentive and has kept up the maintenance at the condo.

Great property, great location. What a gorgeous view. Our party of four enjoyed this property fully. Every morning was beautiful. Loved watching the sunrise on the Pu'u Kukui mountains across the bay from the master bedroom balcony. The ocean view from the condo was beautiful and easily accessible just a short walk. The property was clean well maintained and had all the necessary amenities along with a great pool and hot tub. We were only minutes away from delicious food. I'm not sure if it was the circumstances of the island at the moment or the norm but the restaurants close early (8pm). I recommend renting car there are so many spectacular sites and wonderful adventures on this island! Margie was a great host. She quickly and kindly responded to all of my questions before and during our trip. She eased our nerves as to whether we should cancel our travel plans due to the fires on maui. Glad we kept our travel plans and had a spectacular time. Overall: I would stay here again and recommend choosing this condo and Margie to anyone considering Maui.

We stayed at Margie’s place with another couple. It was big enough that each couple had their own space and a wonderful kitchen and living room area for game playing and socializing. We were steps away from a wonderful beach walk each morning. The condo was quiet, people were kind and communication with Margie was so easy. We absolutely loved this condo.

Lovely view of the ocean. Beach out front was rocky and windy but overall the place was great. Easy to communicate with the host.

We were only at this property for two days, but we found it to be very nice. The property is older, but sill in good condition. The condo had a great view of the Pacific and West Maui. Our host was wonderful. Overall a great value. Our friends stayed in another two bedroom unit in the same building that was much smaller. This unit was very large in comparison.

My husband, our 19 year old son and 13 year old daughters stayed here for 6 nights in June. Check in was very easy, and the unit was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay including beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards. Location was safe and easy to get to shopping as well as other parts of the island. The ocean view from this unit was amazing. There is a beach across the green space, which is beautifil to look at, walk on, and watch the amazing sunset from, but not great for swimming due to the amount of coral that is constantly washing up. But there are many nearby swimming beaches that are easily accessible. Margie is an excellent host with wonderful communication skills. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend her home to others and would stay here again ourselves if we ever make it back to Maui.

The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the surroundings as well as the great condition of the condo which is well stocked with everything you would want for a week at the beach. The owner was great in providing helpful information after a late flight at night as well. This vacation was perfect. This is the best condo in kihei which has gorgeous beaches with turtles coming ashore. I can't recommended enough.

What a wonderful place to stay. Maui is a beautiful island and Margie and her husband’s willingness to share their piece of paradise is priceless. With 4 adults and an almost 2 year old traveling together, we didn’t know what to expect, but we found a solidly built condo where you not only didn’t hear your neighbors, you didn’t hear anything from either bedroom suite. Comfortable beds, two full baths, nice furnishings and a fully functional kitchen provided everything our family needed. Add to that a direct view of and access to the ocean, an elevator, gas grills, pool, kiddie pool and hot tub and we thought we were the luckiest people in the world. Don’t hesitate to rent this unit, it’s exactly as described and the owners are great to work with. Thank you Margie and Glenn, we hope to visit again soon. Mahalo, Chuck and Joy, Matt and Jamie and baby Zoe.

We loved staying at this location, within walking distance to a beautiful beach to watch sunset. Condo well equipped and comfortable for the 5 of us. We had a little difficulty operating the window shades, but overall everything was wonderful!

This is a great place to stay to start your trip. It's only about 20 min from airport and great view of the Ocean. This is more the heart of Maui and closer to Haleakala to start your trip. If your planning to see Hana area this is also closer than the west end of island where we stayed the rest of our trip.

This property was absolutely wonderful! It was clean, updated, and exactly as the pictures showed. Margie was so great with communication! She kept me updated leading up to our trip and was quick to communicate when needed. The only thing I wasn't expecting was the wind! It was quite windy most afternoons; so much so that we couldn't really utilize the beach, but it did make for a great breeze in the unit. Fortunately, it was not a long drive to get to another beach where it wasn't so windy. We did find mornings were less windy, so we took advantage of that and made our beach trips in the mornings. The pool and spa were a wonderful place to relax after a long day at the beach or out exploring. I would highly recommend this property or any property that Margie has. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to go back someday!

Our family of six had a wonderful stay at this lovely unit. Neat, clean, spacious unit with all the amenities and necessities to make our stay comfortable and fun. Grandkids loved the pool and beach just steps away. Location was great, situated away from the crowd of central Kihei area. Owner Margie is a excellent host. Great communication ahead, during our stay, responds quickly to emails and text messages. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you Margie!

We stayed here with another couple. There was plenty of room. We spent the mornings sitting on the balcony having breakfast and enjoying the view. There was plenty of wildlife to entertain us. It was nice not having to worry about a key or key card to get into the unit. The door has a combination lock. Thank goodness for air conditioning! We loved that there was air conditioning that cooled the whole unit since it was very warm. Parking was difficult. There seemed to be a lot of cars that did not have parking passes and the spots were small. We walked along the beach and enjoyed the view. We would definately stay here again and recommend it to others.

This condo has all the comforts of home and adds a beautiful view from the lanai as well as the bedroom lanai. It was very spacious and our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. It is a great location and enjoyed the hot tub in the evening and hearing the stories of other travelers. Can’t wait to plan our next trip to Maui and hope this unit will be available.

This place is amazing, thanks to Margie for the detailed instructions and prompt response. Will definitely come back again!

This is a very nice, quiet corner condo with great views of ocean/west side of Maui. Condo was well-equipped and comfortable. The entire complex is well-kept and family- friendly.

The condo was perfect for 2 couples and each bedroom had great views. The condo was very clean and had all the amenities you could need. Location was great with plenty of dining, groceries, shopping and beaches nearby. Margie was great to rent from. She allowed us to check in a few hours early when we arrived and check out a few hours late on our departure date, which was extremely helpful given our flight times. I would highly recommend this condo.

Margie was great to work with. Due to Covid, we had to reschedule twice. Margie kept in touch and was so flexible. Condo was fully stocked. There were beach chairs, towels, boogie boards. The kitchen even had extras in the cabinets including spices, Pam spray, coffee, sugar, foil, etc. The condo was located right on the #10 bus line. The view is breathtaking. Walked to the beach in seconds! We visited the shops and eateries in the Triangle several times. We booked a snorkeling trip there. The beaches were all up and down S. Kehei Rd. If you need to rent a car, suggest you try Turco app. It is much more cost effective. Near Ululani's shaved ice. It's the best! Can't wait to go back. Make sure you read all COVID restrictions prior to going as they change.

My husband and I came here for our 2 yr anniversary. It was our first time to Hawaii and we fell in love with the entire experience! The condo is in a great location for sight seeing, shopping, and the beach! We were able to see whales from our balcony and the beach was pretty secluded. My husband and I enjoyed BBQ'ing and swimming in the outdoor pool as well. We will definitely be back and are so thankful that the owners shares their awesome, relaxing condo with us!



February 2013
A favorite escape to paradise for 31 days proved to be perfect as we daily walked the beach, viewed sunsets from the lanai, and watched for whales' antics. Convenient to shopping and access to island locales by bus gave complete R & R. This well maintained unit is better than the photos with every amenity to make it home away from home. Choosing this accommodation will be always be our greatest discovery.

This was a beautiful place to stay for our family holiday on Maui! The condo was spacious, clean, well supplied and peaceful. (just as its pictured) The location was excellent to all the activities on Maui as well as convenient to shopping and restaurants. Coffee on the lanai every morning and beverages every evening with front row seating for the sunsets. Making our arrangements were seamless as well as the instructions for our arrival. The office at the complex was very helpful answering questions and helping book tours etc. Our family definitely will want to return to Maui and to THIS condo.

Lovely week long stay on Maui, a sisters get-away. Condo was clean and well furnished. Central location was excellent for quick travels to many great beaches, shopping, and restaurants. Private pool and nearby beach offered great sun-bathing. Were able to see migrating gray whales on several occasions from the condo balconies. Office concierge was a great resource for planning a kayak trip and luau experience. Highly recommend this vacation site.

We had such a nice time in the condo! Everything was immaculately clean and up to date. The owners were very easy to work with and we had no issues with our reservation. I would highly recommend staying here. We had a great time! There were two couples in our group, 4 adults total and the space was more than adequate. The resort was clean and very quiet. We will definitely be coming here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at your Condo in Kihei! It was very comfortable, a great location, right on the ocean and everything you said it would be, plus more. Maui is a very special place to visit. The snorkling and beaches are exceptional. It's a beautiful and fun island to experience. I would love to revisit and stay at your Condo again. Thank you so much, we had many wonderful times there. Best Regards, Lisa, Toni and Sam

Everything about the condo was as represented. We enjoyed having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as the air conditioning (we are not accustomed to humidity). The very central location was great for our adventures south, east and west. The owner was great in recommending "must do" activities and the great reference "Maui Revealed". The snorkeling was fantastic as were the sea turtles, stingrays and dolphins. Beautiful beaches near and far. We attended the Old Lahaina luau which we highly recommend. Local restaurants we enjoyed are Antonio's (Italian), Sansei (fantastic sushi and hamachi kama) , Stella Blues (multiple wonderful choices). While visiting the "upcounty" we enjoyed a local haunt (Stopwatch Bar and Grill) in Makawau. Generous drinks, lots of locals. Of course you should go to Costco, buy fresh opah and ono and enjoy the barbeque at "home". Our only downside was going to Haleakala in the afternoon. It was rainy and cloudy. You should go early (before 9AM). We were told to go for sunrise, but it was too relaxing to get up that early and follow the crowds. Thanks again for the lovely condo.

Our family of six had a great time at the Maui Bliss condo. Being from Seattle, one of the best perks to the condo was the air conditioning. After a long day of snorkeling or being the beach, it was very refreshing to relax or take a nap in the cool condo. The ocean view from the lanais was amazing morning, noon, and night. The sunset is just as pretty as in the pictures on the Maui Bliss website. Being able to just wake up and take a backyard stroll on the beach was also wonderful. The unit was well maintained and clean. We ate most of our meals at the condo to save money and we found that the appliances were modern and we had no difficulty finding the right tools to make meals. Village by the Sea's outdoor grilling setup is very nice, well-lit, and clean. The condo's location is very convenient to grocery stores, dive shops, the pharmacy, restaurants,and markets. We got the most delicious and ripe pineapples we had ever eaten at the nearest craft market down the road. The owner is very knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions via email. For instance, we asked her advice on a good beach for boogie boarding, and her suggestion of Big Beach ended up being our favorite place to play in the waves. We enjoyed snorkeling at the Ahihi Kinau Area Reserve and Kapalua Bay, where we swam with sea turtles. The concierge in the condo lobby was also very helpful in booking us a Molokini and Turtle Town snorkel trip and tickets to a luau in Wailea with fire dancing and great food. We would recommend this condo rental to our friends.
