What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


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.

Kihei Akahi gets high marks for location and vibe. Most guests loved being directly across from Kamaole Beach Park II (with I and III a short walk), plus dozens of cafés, shave ice spots, and shops nearby. The grounds are beautifully maintained with two clean pools, BBQ areas, tennis/pickleball, and a relaxed, generally quiet atmosphere set back from the road in buildings C and D. Many units offer lanai views of the ocean and sunsets—on upper floors you can often spot whales in season—while assigned parking and elevators make access easy.

Condos are consistently described as clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Kitchens tend to be stocked for cooking, and most hosts provide beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, sometimes snorkel sets), along with in‑unit washer/dryers. Guests appreciate the value for South Maui and the “home away from home” feel that works for couples and families alike. Units vary from studios to two‑bedrooms; many note comfy beds and responsive hosts or managers who communicate well and address issues quickly.

Common trade‑offs to know: air‑conditioning varies by unit—some have efficient split A/C in living room and bedroom, others only a living‑room unit, and a few rely on ceiling fans and the strong cross‑breeze; bedrooms can run warm in hotter months. Expect a peaceful complex, but occasional island sounds (early roosters, garbage trucks) or road noise for units nearest South Kihei Blvd; upper buildings are quieter but up a slight hill. Pools are simple (no hot tub), starter supplies differ by host, and a handful of units feel more dated than others. If A/C in the bedroom, view level, or modern finishes matter, check the specific listing details; overall, stays here are praised for walkability, sunsets, and easy beach days.

We've stayed here several times and it seems to just keep getting better! Great place for a couple to stay. The kitchen has all you need and then some. Already have booked again in a few months and counting down the days till we go back! Mahalo again for letting us keep returning to PARADISE!

Great location! Owner was easy to contact. The place was clean and had a couple pools we could use when the ocean was rough! Had all the beach gear...cooler, chairs and other beach gear. Places to eat and shop nearby.

Wonderful location, beautiful view from lanai. We had a great time and the unit is well-stocked with everything you need. Mini split AC in living area and bedroom work great and keep things cool. Bed is very comfortable too. Would definitely stay here again

We spent a week in Maui, and this condo was exactly what we were looking for! It's in a wonderful location in Kihei - only a few minutes to walk to multiple beaches, and lots of shops and restaurants are in walking distance as well. The place had everything we needed, including extras like towels and beach chairs. There was plenty of space for two people, and having a well-stocked kitchen was helpful for the days we didn't feel like eating out. Communication with the property was great and the check-in/out instructions were clear and easy. Highly recommend, especially for a couple!

If views are important to you, this is the perfect place to stay. It’s just steps away from the beach, and the office staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Everything described online was very accurate, and the property exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely stay here again when I come back.

May 2026

Perfect location. Close to ocean, pool, dining, shopping etc. Beautiful lanai. Lots of accessories included for inside and beach use! Pictures are true and exact. Price is fair. House and bathrooms are clean. Owners were friendly and very responsive. I would love to stay here again with some improvements. Only complaint was the furniture and twin beds. Found nothing comfortable all week in the condo except the queen bed. Twins were horribly uncomfortable. very old and hard. All the rest of the living room is way past its prime. Love the Hawaiian style. Keep the Frames, chairs, couch etc just get new cushions! All the cushions are hard and worn flat. Suggest replacing all the cushions, and adding a couple a/c units. Plus have the washer and dryer cleaned and sanitized. So handy to have these but they are very musty smelling which transfers to clothing. Mahola

Start with the good. Location is excellent! Beach accessories were great. Condo has air conditioning & good beds. Check in was not good. We were given the wrong entry code, which didn’t come from the owner until 10:34 pm that night. Luckily we managed to contact the caretaker who gave us his entry code. He was the only one that replied to my multiple texts. Worse:The upstairs bathroom was leaking into the kitchen! First call I was argued with that we were getting the floor wet getting out of the shower. Stated this was a reoccurring problem. Reoccurring was obvious by previous visible damage on the ceiling. Next day was worse! Said a maintenance man was sent. No sign of him and nothing changed. We then realized it was the toilet leaking into the kitchen & a water sensor beeping. An entirely worse level! . Someone came and cut the ceiling out. Leaving an open hole. The fix if any was very temporary and worsened by the end of our week. We had to keep towels on the kitchen tiled floor so the baby didn’t slip and fall. One baby only crawling. A lot to deal with! No other units available. Half bath inside the condo was very dirty. Tiled steps were quite steep & dangerous. Need rubber treads put on. The living room furniture is many years past its prime. I would guess an early 90s pit group. Broken down, uncomfortable, not even connected together. This was almost worse than the leaking toilet stool. Repairs and upgrades could make this an excellent condo. Refund deserved!

We enjoyed a great stay at Berney's condo! It was very clean, cute ocean mural, bamboo furniture, everything you need to make meals in the kitchen, laundry machine if you need it, ac if you need it (we had such a fantastic tradewind we never needed the ac!) Nice big shower always hot water. We appreciated using the beach chairs, towels and cooler. I would suggest a dish strainer for hand washed dishes as we just hand washed the few dishes we used but we just let them air dry in the clean dishwasher so really no problem. We really appreciated the warm Aloha spirit from Bernie! He was very responsive to our questions and gave us great tips for our trip to beautiful Maui! Road to Hana, Black Beach, Pipiwai trail, waterfalls, beautiful beaches and snorkeling with the Honu's,best cinnamon buns ever( worth getting in line for!) And to make our trip more magical going on an outrigger canoe with Berney's club! It was so fun and great! Mahalo Berney for such an awsome canoe adventure and great stay at your condo! We are looking forward to the next Maui trip!!! John & Pam B

We enjoyed our 6 night stay for two adults. We found the condo in fantastic condition and location was perfect. The kitchen was very well appointed and with onsite grilling available made for easy dinners. Kihei restaurants were all within 10-12 min drive & walkable to some. Kam 2 provided great beach days and morning snorkeling. The ladies at the main office were terrific for local tips and are very kind. A terrific location for a getaway!

This was such a good stay. The bed was comfortable; the kitchen was stocked with quality items (pans, knives, plates); the property was quiet and secure. The owners of this property made this rental homey and provided the things we needed so we could spend our time enjoying our vacation.

Very comfortable place to stay. Neal is an excellent host and very responsive. Nice to have the use of beach chairs and sun umbrella. Lanai is perfect for morning coffee and watching the birds. Evening breeze cools off the unit at night and the scent of Pulmeria fills the air.

Natalie was a great host and was available to contact for any questions which made check in and check out super simple. There was a variety of beach gear that we used which was amazing and it was great how easy it was to get to both the beach and the pool. Definitely recommend eating at Cafe o Lei or Coconuts (their fish tacos are a hit) for dinner and the cinnamon place for breakfast. Don't recommend La Toxica for coffee as their lattes are all milk but their ice cream looked good and had some unique flavors.

We loved our stay, the location was fantastic!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo. Everything was perfect, plus more.

Nice stay! Close to plenty of coffee shops, and nice location to get anywhere else on the island. Only regret: Not spending more time at the beach across the street! Didn't check it out until later in our trip, and it's really nice.

Bedroom a bit warm due to AC in opposite end of condo. Other than the vocal chicken which can’t be helped it’s a great stay

We had a great stay in Gloria’s condo. It was clean and she left us some welcome goodies, including her homemade banana bread (which was delicious!) The split air conditioning in the living room and bedroom was nice and kept it pleasantly cool and does cool down quickly. Parking was convenient and not far to the elevators. Communication was excellent. She was always available if we had a question and we felt she truly cared that we were comfortable and happy. Thank you Gloria!!

The mngt co is outstanding! Super responsive and eager to please. The unit is upgraded (remodeled) and adequately supplied with everything you should need. The split A/C was a high selling point as it tends to be warm in Kihei but the owners have it limited to 68 degrees. It can be quite warm in the living room in the afternoon especially is you keep the unit off all day to conserve energy, as they request. Other than that, everything else was great.

Fully equipped kitchen. Good size for a family of 4. Really enjoyed our stay, close walk to beach and local resteraunts/shops.

May 2026

We had a great stay. Everything was as described. I particularly enjoyed the great ocean view. Nice kitchen, efficient and quiet AC. If you’ve heard about the sinkhole on S. Kīhei Road, yes it is still there (as of mid May) and is, in fact, right next to the driveway going into this unit. Not to worry, the access is not blocked. South Kīhei Road is still closed to through traffic at this spot and one has to detour around it. It’s really not a big deal. What we saw and heard about the restoration and repair work is that it’s going very slow and this issue is likely to be there awhile.

The hosts were excellent!! Our keypad stopped working one evening upon arriving back to the condo and they came over within minutes to solve the problem. All it needed was new batteries! The condo was very clean, had plenty of dishes, linens and cookware. The location was easily walkable to a few beaches and to Kihei town(about a mile to Foodland and shops)We really enjoyed our visit. With the trade winds we never even turned on the A/C. Great place!!!

This was a perfect spot for a quiet stay across from the beach. It had everything I needed for beach days--chairs, towels, coolers--great for someone trying to pack light. The balcony was perfect for relaxing with the ocean view and listening to the birds and the waves. Just a hop from a couple restaurants and shops, an easy 30 minute walk from even more dining and night life options, and easy to get in and out of the complex by car if you have a rental.Had the tiniest issue with my check-in code, and the responsiveness from my host was unbeatable. Didn't run into any other issues during my stay, but felt confident I would have immediate support if I did.Really couldn't have asked for a better home base for my 3 days in Kihei!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful condo. The condo was clean and very updated. It came with any amenity and all of the extras you could think of. Nice, new chairs, umbrella, beach bag and coolers for the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable. The view is amazing and you can see the ocean and sunset every night. The host was very communicative and responsive. The condo property itself is beautiful. I’d stay here again and definitely recommend this condo for an amazing stay in Maui!

The room featured a great sized kitchen (no dishwasher), beach and snorkeling gear in the closets, cleaning supplies to help with sand, and was the perfect size for my wife and I for our honeymoon. Hardly spent too much time in it, since we were running all over the island exploring! But the location is excellent being in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops, and spas. Couldn’t ask for something better. Room was clean, and towels and linens were provided. We made prominent use of the washer and dryer too, of which they provided a few laundry pods. The rentals assoc was very helpful when needs arose, and parking was convenient.

Communication with owner was great. We love staying at the Kihei Akahi which is why we chose this unit. We never used the AC, but it was nice to have as an option. The washing machine didn’t work and the fix was not available during our stay. We packed enough clothes assuming we’d be able to wash them, so it was a pretty big inconvenience. The owner offered late checkout on our last day, which was not even an option as we left for the airport quite early. No other concessions were offered.
