Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Hale Kai O Kihei delivers a classic Maui, oceanfront stay with a relaxed, low-rise vibe. Guests love the uncrowded, kid‑friendly beach just steps from the lawn, nightly sunsets from the lanai, and frequent whale and sea turtle sightings in season. Its central Kihei location is a standout: you can walk to a grocery store, food trucks, coffee, and restaurants, and drive easily to Wailea, Lahaina/Kāʻanapali, Upcountry, and the Road to Hāna. The grounds are tidy and peaceful, with a small, seldom‑busy pool, BBQs, shuffleboard, and plenty of lounge space on the grass for when the beach gets windy.

Units vary, but many have been tastefully remodeled and are exceptionally well stocked—think full kitchens with spices and oils, beach chairs/umbrella/cooler/boogie boards, and thoughtful extras. Several hosts and managers earn high marks for friendly, fast communication, and repeat visitors are common. Some condos include split A/C (even in the bedroom) and in‑unit laundry, while many others rely on a living‑room A/C plus ceiling/tower fans and use the onsite coin/card laundry. Across the board, the star is the lanai: sweeping ocean views for morning coffee and postcard sunsets.

Trade‑offs reflect an older, low‑key complex. Quality and decor differ by unit; while many are spotless and updated, others feel dated or need deeper cleaning. A recurring theme is limited A/C to the living area—bedrooms can run warm—and there’s no elevator to upper floors. The pool is small with set hours, and the beach, though lovely for walks and gentle swimming, can be shallow/rocky in spots and isn’t a top snorkeling beach; afternoons may be breezy. Occasional ants/roaches (tropical reality), periodic property maintenance, and a few mentions of homeless activity in the broader area come up, though most guests still describe a quiet, safe stay. If you value serene, true oceanfront living and easy island access over resort flash, this property hits the sweet spot.

We loved our stay! The view from the condo is stunning and you can’t beat the ocean access. We were looking for a quiet vacation for a few days to just relax on the beach. This was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet mornings on the deck with coffee, reading on the beach during the day and sunsets from our deck with wine in the evening. Our host was very communicative and we appreciated the easy check in process.

Host was friendly and communicated well. Beautiful location, very comfortable condo. Highly recommend.

This property is all about location. If you need a concierge desk, rental activities, and nightly luaus you need to look elsewhere. If however, you want a truly beachfront, laid back, quiet place with amazing views, you have chosen wisely. Our specific unit was very nicely furnished with guests in mind. Air conditioning, ceiling fans, pool towels and an in freezer ice maker made it a very comfortable experience. The kitchen was well stocked with just about everything you could think of. There is a very nice private pool for the complex. Nothing fancy, but it was cleaned regularly and was perfect for cooling off without getting sandy on the beach. If that is your choice though, access is super close and there is a foot wash hose in the grassy area just off the beach. There are several stores very close. And Kihei offers many different dining options. Those options vary from nice “sit down” restaurants to the vast multitude of food truck choices. We stuck with the food trucks and were blown away by the quality and value we experienced. We have stayed on the west side of Maui several times and really enjoyed that. Kihei offers a different but very rewarding view of the island, without the drive. We would highly recommend this property and Kehei to anyone looking for a very relaxing time on Maui.

Clean condo all the amenities were amazing. Anything you need its there for you. So close to the beach, you could hear the ocean from the living room. Close to stores & restaurants which was perfect. Only negatives are no A/C & homeless hanging out on the lawn.

Great view and right on the beach. Easy proximity to activities and dining. There is a church nearby that feeds the unhoused and we had to explain an indecent incident to one of the grandchildren. Otherwise, we had a great stay. Easy beach walking!

We were so happy to have this place for our stay in Kihei! It was literally right on the water, and quiet! The sunsets were amazing!!! There is really nothing bad I can say about this unit! The unit was exactly as pictured on the Vrbo site - we thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Stayed here for work. Cant beat the incredible view of the ocean and palm trees, third floor elevation was nice. Heads up this isnt a swimming beach, water is dirty, but nice for walking. The condo itself is kind of a funny studio layout, you wont want to be in the "bedroom", its stuffy with no windows and parking lot noise. Ended up sleeping on the couch most of the stay to enjoy the beach side of the condo and catch a breeze. Kitchen was ok, the rest of the place could use a bit of an upgrade. The AC barely works and is only in the living room so plan to not be in the condo in the afternoon, the heat was almost unbearable.The property management company was super quick to respond when the kitchen sink was leaking and when I needed more towels after mopping it all up. Unfortunately they would only credit me a tiny amount for the day I couldnt use the kitchen and then had the plumber in the space. Understood its out of their hands but didnt really seem fair given the circumstances.Overall the great things were the view and the walks on the beach.

This was one of the best rentals that we have ever stayed in. Light, fresh scent throughout. They thought of absolutely everything. So clean, spectacular view, great bed, wonderful AC, great location - so close to everything but not in the middle of the crowds and noise. Would absolutely stay again with no hesitation and would highly recommend to others.

We have spent some wonderfull 4 days in this unit. When we arrived everything was perfectly clean and tidy. It was a pleasure to enter the condo. During our stay we found out, that everthing we could possibly need was existing in the appartment and all appliances were reay for use and in a perfect condition.All furnitures were well maintained and the bathroom/shower was neat and hygienic. Even a board, chairs and other stuff fort he beach were present. Weh ad not expected such a perfect and caring reception.A highlight of the unit is the view over the beutiful beach and the marvellous sunset from the balcony wich we enjoyed every evening. Parking is right in front of the appartment at no cost and all shops can be reached within 5 minutes. Our stay was so marvellous, we almost forgot to leave the condo in time.Alltogether we must say that it was a 5-star experience and we can warmly recommend this unit.

We love the location. Easy to get to everywhere on the island. Beautiful views and we love being on the beach. Pool was also very refreshing. Our problem was roaches. We called management and they put traps out. That night I had a roach in our bed crawling up my arm. We didn’t get much sleep after that. When we left we found roaches in our clothing therefore we are afraid we will be bringing them home with us which is very unsettling. Other than that it was a beautiful island.

Only downside no elevator to carry our luggage, but we definitely got a workout after all the food we ate. And we were big backs during this trip. 3 trips per day to ululani down the street and foodland. We def need to burn some calories. Makes sense. Everything else was amazing. The view was 1000/100. If you're trying to find yourself, this beach's sunset and sunrise will do the trick. Need to cry on the beach? Best spot. The beach was clean, and the provided chairs and umbrella made everything even better. Everything in the condo was clean and relaxing. 10000/100 would recommand and stay again.

Joes condo was perfect in every way. On a quiet beach with beautiful sand and sunsets! The condo had everything we wanted and was in the middle of everything we wanted to do on the island. The kitchen and everything he supplies while we were here is perfect. Beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear and umbrella was provided to make our stay the best on the island. Thank you Joe for everything and we will be back!

When I pulled up, I was worried because it was like a small motel look… plain. Nice, clean, but not tropical resort looking. But once we opened the door, it was beautiful! Really clean and modern furnishings and fixtures. The view is in the back of the condo!! Right out to the ocean. Really beautiful. Quiet, with just the ocean waves. It was a quick walk over a very small hill right to the beach!! Everything we needed for a couple of days was there. And it was really relaxing!

Our tropical home away from home. The perfect home base for exploring the sites around Maui to just relaxing by the pool or grounds with a round of shuffle board or bocce ball. Coffee in the morning on the lanai was a favorite along with watching the beautiful sunsets.

I would stay at this location again. Owner is very nice to deal with. Only problem was a small problem with ants in the kitchen. Owner provides everything needed from snorkel equipment, children sized surf boards, and all kinds of toys to play in the sand.

We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront condo in Kihei! The location couldn’t be better, steps from the sand, gorgeous sunsets every evening, and close to great restaurants and shops. The condo was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and had a comfortable, relaxed vibe. Perfect spot for a Maui getaway—highly recommend!

This unit was exactly as described and kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and grilling on the outside grill. While there was a pool downstairs, we opted for a swim in the ocean - the beach is a 1 min walk.we spend a week exploring the island and loved having a balcony to eat breakfast and dinner (while watching the sunset).

We had a wonderful stay! The location was excellent, with a beautiful view of the ocean that made every morning special. The condo was comfortable and overall very enjoyable. Only a small note: we noticed some tiny ants in the kitchen, but it wasn’t a big issue and didn’t take away from the experience. Would happily stay here again!

We loved our stay in Kihei at Joe's condo. He was very eager and willing to make our stay a happy one. The condo was clean, modern, and comfortable. The views speak for itself. In fact, we looked forward to breakfast on the lanai each morning and amazing sunsets each night. It was a truly spectacular condo!
