Hale Hui Kai, Maui

Hale Hui Kai is small beachfront condo complex on one of Maui's nicest beaches - Keawakapu beach. The layout of the complex is unusual in that units surround an interior atrium/walkway with bedrooms (except oceanfront units) facing inward toward the hallway. But the complex is small (only 40 units spanning 3-4 floors) and foot traffic from the hallway isn't an issue.

Unit numbers ending in 2,4,6,8 and 10 face south while unit numbers ending in 1,3,5,7 and 9 face north. Unit numbers ending in 11,12 and 13 face the ocean. All else being equal, south facing and oceanfront units are more desirable because they have better views, get more natural light, and are prone to less wind. Oceanfront units average about 1250 sq.ft. while the rest average about 850.

Hale Hui Kai Address: 2994 South Kihei Rd, Kihei, 96753

Can’t beat the views and proximity to the beach with this stay. Comfortable accommodations with a well stocked kitchen. Our only initial challenge was from the description for bedroom 2 (two twins “or” a king bed - not “and” as listed), but it worked out fine for us since the couch was a sleeper sofa. We’d stay here again! Kim is a responsive and accommodating host.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was very dark. The numerous lights were dim and difficult to find the switch that corresponded. Paint colors were very dark. great kitchen and lanai location. Fine for two people or a close family. Master bed pillows were practically touching the neighbors entrance was far enough front to have a pretty good view of the beach. We have stayed in several different units and do know the down side of the condo ( parking, laundry, neighbor house, noise). All in all the location o the beach is great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If I could give this more than five stars I would! Talk about location! This was oceanfront and only about 40 steps to the sand and water. Hearing the waves hitting the shoreline from our living room was wonderfully relaxing. The staff and Coach who is the manager we all very helpful. Coach even lent us his umbrella! We enjoyed dining at nearby Monkey Pod by Merriman and then further out to Paia for a great meal at Mama's Fish House. We drove up country to Kula Lodge, elevation 3200ft, for lunch and were treated to breathtaking views. We took long walks on the shoreline and saw beautiful sunsets. We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing beach with good snorkeling and sea turtles within steps. Perfect for young beach goers with gentle waves. Beautifully equipped condo with everything we needed for our one week stay. Would visit again!

Clean and spacious for our family of four plus Grandma. The location is amazing, close to Kihei as well as Wailea. We saw Turtles in the shallow water every day! Enjoyed snorkeling right outside the property. In the past we have stayed further south in Wailea. This property is on the same famous beach, Keawakapu, that we enjoy so much. Some beach toys and four beach chairs, plus umbrellas and beach towels. Great value!

Even when we lived on Kauai we would come to Maui for vacation and always stayed at Hale Hui Kai. This last visit was exceptional. Bello Reality has always been very gracious. We already have reservations to return for 2024. We always order food to go and enjoy the view from our room each evening as the sun goes down.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. However, it did have critters. Mostly, mice and roaches. The unit, itself, was clean; however it had these issues. In addition, there weren’t any screens on the windows and with the slats open, as you need them to be for air flow since there is only AC in the bedrooms, any critter can get in. We ended up staying somewhere else as this issue made everyone uncomfortable!

The kitchen was somewhat sparse in terms of cooking equipment but we managed. We could not figure out how to work the remotes for the AC. While comfy I would not book this apartment again.

We had a wonderful time staying at the condo. It is at the beach, so easy to just walk out and swim. The beds were very comfortable and the reclining chairs were a hit. The condo is very well equipped from beach towels, chairs, cooler, bodyboard, floating tubes, to full kitchen appliances, internet and air conditioning. We definitely recommend it.

This condominium complex has an outstanding location. Being right on the beach and in a prime ‘sunset viewing’ area is wonderful. The unit itself had everything we needed and was quite comfortable. This was our first time to travel to Maui with a toddler and the air conditioning in this unit helped with nap and bed time for her. Our hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with for which we were very thankful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.

The property is very expensive $450 per night and no half day stays. There are no BBQs on site. The views are great and the location right on Keawakapu is awesome. The building is designed to capture the view and the breeze. The parking stalls are tiny. The noise carries from unit to unit. Our unit had no cold or cool water in the MB ensuite shower. A/C units worked well. Second bedroom had a missing blind on one window. No privacy. All windows had immovable baffles (shutters that were painted and stuck either open or closed) The dishes were mix and match and some had cracks in them. The knifes were not sharp - not even close. The cutlery was low standard. The teflon frying pans are worn. The kick on the cupboard beside the fridge kept falling off. Loved the starter pack left by management. I've been to Maui 16 times over the years staying in Kihei at various condos. This place was alright but not exactly great value.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a decent rental. It’s a great location for beach lovers. The unit is probably fifty feet from the beach with a nice ocean view. The unit is well equipped with plenty of kitchen equipment and basic necessities to start your stay. Overall the unit feels just a bit tired and has no air conditioning and took two day with all the fans running to get the mildew smell out. Still I would say it’s a nice unit. Hale Hui Kai is a nice small complex with a nice laid back feeling.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming this complex for 15 yrs. Most of the units are great. Unit 302 is just old. From the kitchen, with old, mismatched plates, glasses, utensils, kitchen table and chairs that are 20yrs old, the TV is small, should be at least a smart TV, pillows that should have been replaced years ago, etc, etc, etc. Just not worth the money. Sorry.

This was truly the most ideal location right on the beach and felt like we were in our own little paradise. And the apartment itself was perfect. Well stocked with everything and anything you could need. Beach chairs, coolers, towels, etc! AC worked great and I can’t wait to come back.
