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.

This place was amazing. It was so quiet and relaxing. The Lani right on the beach was our favorite place to sit and drink our coffee in the morning and then watch the sunset in the afternoon. Thank you so much for the wonderful place to stay!

Walkable to many restaurants and right on the water with beautiful views! The best part was the sea turtles basking on the beach right outside the condo!

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!

This is a really wonderful property. Perfect for 2 people but it also worked for us when one of our adult-kids and his girlfriend stayed with us for a few days. The unit is in a clean and quiet complex off the main road but VERY close to a lot of places we wanted to visit. The access to the beach could not be easier. Make sure to go for a walk at night to see a lot of sea-turtles. The appliances are all up-to-date and worked very well. We loved having the full-sized fridge with an ice-maker. The sunsets from the balcony are amazing. The host was very responsive to our couple of pre-stay questions. All around, a great place to stay.

We had a fabulous 10 days- a very quiet and relaxing property! Picture were excellent for the description. The washer and dryer are located on the first floor rather than in the unit and that was not clear in the description although it worked out fine for us. Might should consider updated cushions for the balcony chairs as they are worn and not comfortable or perhaps more of a lounge chair would be better. Overall a great property and we will be back!

This property was AWESOME!!! We had 3 young adults and 2 old timers stay here, and it was spacious, well appointed, was in a great location, and had the BEST views and direct ocean access that made our vacation so memorable! The beds were comfortable (slept up to 6 in actual beds), and having 2 bathroom was fantastic. This place has been recently updated - the place inside and out exceeded our expectations, we will definitely be back!

We loved this location being centrally located on the island. The condo was perfect for our family of 5 and the sunset views were GORGEOUS!! The condo and amenities were exactly as pictured/described and we had everything we needed for our stay. We all thought the mattresses were super-comfy as well!!

Perfect location. Lovely condo. The only thing lacking was air conditioning in the bedroom for better sleeping when the weather is warm and humid. We loved our stay. Would stay there again

My husband and I had the best week long stay here for our honeymoon. The location was unbeatable. Nothing compares to the view from the balcony (see photos). We loved that we didn’t even have to cross the street to be at the beach. It was walking distance to several restaurants we wanted to try (nalus, misophat sushi, shaved ice) and short drive to all the other things we wanted to do/try in the area. Biggest surprise was the unit having 3 sets of snorkeling masks, beach chairs, towels, and a boogie board. We were thrilled to discover this and not have to rent/buy our own. The condo was comfortable and well maintained and we were happy about the in unit laundry. The area was quiet and peaceful and we had no noise issues. Safe/ample parking. I couldn’t recommend it any more!!! We would be thrilled to stay any time we are in Maui.

We love This condo because it is ground floor with a grassy area and just steps to the ocean. It is relatively updated, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Being a smaller complex, it is relatively quiet, which suits us for a totally relaxing stay. We will return again

Everything looks exactly like the photos. Room was clean when we arrived, AC was great, kitchen had most of everything we needed, and the views off the balcony were absolutely stunning. We watched the sunset from the porch every night! Beach access is directly behind the condo on first floor. Pool was great to cool off! We loved it! Highly recommend and would 100% come stay again.

I have stayed at other condos within this property and am very happy with the location. This particular co do was not very clean. Floors were so dirty i couldnt take off shoes. The ceiling (popcorn) was absolutely disgusting in the bedroom.

We loved it! Just enough room for the two of us

Beautiful decor and everything you could possibly need. The towels were fluffy and smelled amazing. The front door enters immediately into the bedroom and the door is frosted glass. A room darkening curtain would be a nice addition on that window. The building itself is not super fancy. The other property owners could tidy up their outdoor spaces - one had an old mattress sitting outside - and this would improve the view of the building from the pretty beach and lawn area. These are relatively minor issues. The water is not quite as clear and blue as other beaches on Maui but we enjoyed the close proximity, swimming and saw a turtle and a seal!

The property was amazing, the balcony with the view and the views from the main living room are incredible! The beach access is perfect and the grass area in the back of the property is great when its too windy on the beach. My only criticism of the property was there were quite a few ants in the kitchen, we kept everything tidy but still noticed ants on the kitchen counter (no idea where they were coming from) also the location in Kihei has a number of homeless people that hang around outside the property and up the blocks surrounding the condo. Obviously nothing you can do about that but was surprising upon arrival. Other than the homeless the location is very centrally located and makes it easy to get to all portions of the island. Overall the property was fantastic and we very much enjoyed our stay.

The condo is beautifully remodeled and furnished! The living area and Primar bedroom have A/C units which were greatly appreciated at night. Every space had ceiling fans. The blackout shades in the bedrooms were wonderful! I found it helpful that not all food items had been removed from prior renters. We loved having some jams, lots of spices, several condiments and cooking oils to use. The condo was well stocked with paper towels, dish detergents, TP etc. Lastly, having 4 beach chairs and beach towels available to use was perfect! I highly recommend this condo!! We will be back for sure!

Perfect location on a uncrowded beach. AC was nice for those warmer days. Unit has all the beach stuff you might need and plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sunsets. Property manager was responsive to any questions or needs. If you’re looking for big waves and crowded beaches, choose another place. But if you’re looking for a quiet and comfortable condo facing the beach with few people around, this one is for you!

The condo was equipped with the essentials and extras as needed. The view from the room was stunning. Overall I would stay here again however, would hope for a little more cleanliness as there was dust and some dirt covering most surfaces.

The condo is spacious, right on a beautiful beach and centrally located to restaurants and attractions. It is very well appointed with everything you need for a beach vaca - from beach chairs, sun umbrellas, cooler and boards to sunscreen. Furniture and decorations were tastefully chosen, functional and clean. However, there were a couple major issues. First, the air conditioner is woefully inadequate. It was always hot and stifling in the bedroom. No matter how long you run the air conditioner, the bedroom is never cooled. We had both ceiling fans, the two portable tower fans and the air conditioner running and we still had to sleep on the pull out sofa bed. It really did no good to close the outside sun shade, the curtains or open windows to let the breeze through. Very disappointing. Second, as acknowledged by the host in their extensive rules and instructions, there are bugs - specifically roaches … and lots of them. They congregated on the kitchen counters and hid under coffee maker - “Good morning.” The condo needs to be fumigated and treated much more often. Very disappointing. Oh, also remove the water restrictor on the show head or replace it. You have to keep the shower on for a long time just to rinse off soap. Adding to the heat and humidity in the unit.

We had a lovely stay and the listing was as advertised. We would definitely consider booking again. The only thing we would have appreciated knowing about ahead of time is the on going renovations during the day next door so that we could plan accordingly.

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The unit exceeded our expectations, from the spotless cleanliness and beautiful ocean view to the thoughtful amenities and well-maintained space.Joe was incredibly responsive and guided us every step of the way, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we booked. Thanks to his hospitality, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our time without a worry. We loved the Tommy Bahama chairs for beach days, they were a great touch. As was the A/C!When we return to Maui, there’s no question, we’ll absolutely plan to book with Joe again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Maui property! The location is unbeatable. Perfectly central to everything on the island. Whether we were heading to Lahaina area, Wailea, or upcountry, it was always an easy drive.The property itself is stunning and peaceful, far more relaxing than a typical resort. The beach was just steps away and felt like a hidden gem—quiet, clean, and ideal for morning walks, sunsets and turtle watching. The pool area was also a great bonus: never crowded, well-maintained, and perfect for a lazy afternoon.Inside, the accommodations were top-notch. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed with all the conveniences we needed. A well appointed kitchen, laundry, beach gear, Wi-Fi, and more. It truly felt like a home away from home.We loved being able to unwind in such a serene setting while still being close to restaurants, shops, and activities. If you’re looking for a peaceful, convenient, and beautiful place to stay in Maui, this is it. We can’t wait to return!

What can I say? We were so happy when we arrived at this property to find the most beautiful view. It was exactly what I was hoping for our quick stay on Maui. The view of the water, palm trees, and sunset were just breathtaking. When we arrived there was an amazing treat waiting for us, along with a super clean, and fully stocked condo! Every detail was not overlooked. Seasonings, olive oil, aloe for burns, towels, chairs, everything you could need while you stayed here. The beds were extremely comfortable, even the pull out, which never happens. Falling asleep to the waves, was exactly what I wanted. We were extremely comfortable, with two air cons, one in each room. The upgrades were beautiful, the towels were soft, everything was clean and well thought out. Joe was great and got back to me within minutes about any question or need. We all can’t wait to come back and stay again!

If you want a room with a view, this place is awesome! It is on a picture perfect beach! The property is older, the updates in our unit were poorly done in terms of quality of workmanship, but it had most things we needed for a week's vacation. To help you decide if it works for you, here's what we didn't like. No real air conditioning and the ceiling fans are past their prime. The window AC unit is loud and old and does nothing to help the bedroom -- it was hot and stuffy the entire week and the bedroom ceiling fan barely moves air (tradewinds were no fix for heat and humidity in early May). The washer/dryer is a shared coin laundry (3 per load) and the hours are annoying (8 am to 8 pm) -- so no option to do laundry in the evening after dinner or early in the day -- which is what I do on vacation. The pool is beautiful, but the hours are restricted -- no early or late swimming -- which doesn't work for eastern time zone people wanting an early morning swim. That said the location is central and it's easy to get around and see and do everything on Maui. It is in a neighborhood, not only a tourist area and some streets are really nice, others are not that great. The balcony is fantastic for enjoying morning coffee or a snack at sunset. The view is awesome and it's on one of the best beaches in the vincinity.

This two bedroom unit was perfect for our son, DIL and two grandchildren. Pool directly in front of the room and the lawn is beautiful. Fantastic access to the beach and the view is priceless! Wonderful kitchen and very comfortable beds. Mahalo.

We enjoyed our stay in this unit and although we had a couple of issues when we arrived, the property manager was wonderful. We had a broken chair on the lanai and a burn mark/hole on one of the couch cushions. We reported it immediately and were very happy with their response. The broken chair was removed and they already knew about the couch cushion. Beautiful views. Phenomenal beach. Mahalo!
