Kihei Akahi

A quiet, garden-filled complex of mid-rise buildings on a gentle rise across South Kihei Road from Kamaole II, with two pools, grills and courts between the buildings. It suits couples and families who want to walk to the beach and restaurants each day; upper floors suit sunset and whale watchers.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Kamaole II across the street. Guests walk a few minutes to a swimmable beach for morning swims, snorkeling and sunsets, and several report turtles just offshore.
  • Gardens, pools and grills. Landscaped grounds with plumeria and birdsong surround two pools, gas grills and tennis and pickleball courts that guests say are tended daily.
  • A genuinely quiet complex. Despite sitting on the busy beach strip, guests describe calm evenings, observed quiet hours and pools often shared with just a few readers.
  • Whales and sunsets from upper lanais. Guests on the higher floors love the sunset views over the water and, in winter, watching humpbacks spout from the lanai.

Worth knowing

  • Bedroom AC varies by unit. Many units cool only the living room, leaving bedrooms hot; check for bedroom splits, and note several A building units run AC on a 6-hour timer.
  • Walkway and rooster noise. Some units have bedroom windows on the open corridors, so voices carry in; a few guests also mention pre-dawn roosters and early trucks.
  • Uphill from the road. The buildings sit up a slope from the sidewalk, which a few older guests felt; elevators help, and some units supply a wagon for beach gear.
Choosing a unit: For ocean and sunset views, guests consistently point to the upper floors of the C and D buildings. The A building sits closest to South Kihei Road, so its townhouse-style units offer parking at the door but a few guests noted daytime road noise.

Kihei Akahi Resort C313
★★★★★ August 2026

The property and suite were perfect for my needs. Fully outfitted with everything I could ask for as a home base for me to produce a feature film in Maui.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The small condo was very well stocked. Full size fridge and washer/dryer, beach chairs and cooler. My only complaint was with the AC unit tht sounded like a freight train. We were not able to use it at night so it meant waking up at 4 am with the rooster every morning. Also 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 adults for 2 weeks isn’t enough and if staying for 2 weeks housekeeping should be included at least once.

Good location near beach and with beach chairs and snorkel/ masks. Good nearby choices for eating out, coffee and best cinnamon buns on island. It was snug for a family of four but we expected that. Fabulous value and location sums it up.

We had an amazing stay here for a week and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The condo was exceptionally clean, beautifully updated, and everything was thoughtfully laid out. It felt comfortable and welcoming from the moment we arrived.The hosts went above and beyond with all the little extras. We especially appreciated the beach gear and thoughtful touches like the extra sunglasses, so we didn’t have to worry about losing our own. Having a gas stove and a fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook breakfast every morning, which was a great way to start each day.The shower was fantastic, the bed was comfortable, and it was so nice to come back after a day at the beach, relax, and watch TV in the bedroom. Everything about the space felt cozy and well cared for.I’ve actually stayed at Kihei Akahi five different times over the years, and I can honestly say this was my favorite unit I’ve ever rented. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Maui!

The road construction and directions were an issue for us. As was the elevation gain from the sidewalk to the building as we are in our 70’s.We were concerned about running out of soap, tp, trash bags and paper towels.Glad we brought extra soap.We would definitely consider booking again but would request extra soap, tp and trash bags.

Property was close to the beach which was very convenient. Communication with owners was easy to do. Directions from owners were right on

★★★★★ July 2026

We booked this trip at the very minute for business reasons, so I was very happy to find it available. We stayed at Kihei Akahi before in a different unit and really liked the location, so when I saw it was available, I made the reservation. We had a delayed check in because it was so minute, but Natalie offered a late check-out in exchange which we were grateful for. The condo was fully-stocked - chairs, umbrella, boards, towels, pots, pans, and all other kitchenware, even a bit of coffee. AC unit worked great, so we actually slept in the living room on the sleeper sofa since the bedroom was a little too hot for me. The road in front of the property was in the middle of being reconstructed after washing away in the Kona Low storms but we never heard any noise or had any issues with driving in or out of the property. This place is walkable to several restaurants and cafes and is literally a 3 minute walk to KamaOle II or III. Highly recommend!!

Eight acres of gardens and fountains across the street from Kamaole Beach II, with two pools, hot tubs and a tennis court. Ocean views are rare; south-facing units look over an open lot where axis deer graze, and pool-facing ones can be noisier.

Roomy two-bedroom, two-bath condos on elevated walkways, directly across South Kihei Road from Kamaole III Beach. Book a back-side unit, since the road side gets traffic and early truck noise. The small pool runs on quiet, no-toys rules.
