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.

Restaurants nearby were good: Subway, Maui Icecream, Moose McGillicudy's. It was a very short walk to the beach to catch the beautiful sunsets. We especially enjoyed taking the tour around the complex to find all the listed flowers, trees, and shrubs on the map provided in the unit.

The view from the balcony was nothing short of magical. The location was perfect for walking to the beach, restaurants, or just to take a stroll. The swimming pool was close ewith easy access. It was a quiet area with friendly neighbors. The condo had everything one needed. I highly recommend!

Such a cute little place we were able to walk down to the beach walk to some places to eat. It had towels and everything we needed for a fun beach day. The washer and dryer really helped us stay organized because we were able to clean stuff as we went. Perfect amount of space for two people highly recommend doing your breakfast on the cute little patio.

The kitchen was well-equipped, so if you choose to cook, it has everything you'd need. The layout is fantastic as it allows for two master bedroom suites. I do have to say, though, that the no air conditioning was a little rough. But I think that's just me as I have a tendency to run hot!

This was the perfect condo for our stay. There were two of us and we found it was just enough room for us and our stuff. It was very easy to find the place as well as check in. Perfect location for all activities and dining. Kitchen was also fully stocked with anything you would need.

I had a wonderful stay at this condo in Maui! The place was very clean, comfortable, and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location was also excellent, making it easy to explore the island and enjoy everything Maui has to offer. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting and would love to stay here again on my next trip.

Nice location. C building has good ocean views from the lanai. Window AC in living room not effective at cooling. Bedroom has no AC so if it’s hot at night (almost always) you’ll be sleeping in the living room. The pull out sofa bed would not collapse back to a sofa so we were stuck with an open bed in our living room. Benefits included beach chairs, towels, umbrella, snorkel gear, and a nice walk in shower. Of course Kihei Akahi has beautiful grounds 2 pools and great ocean views

The place was very pleasant and clean, with everything you could possibly need. The location is excellent, close to beautiful beaches, and the owner was very kind with easy communication. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended, with a beautiful view.

All in all, it was a positive experience.Pros: Roomy, clean, coveniently located. Well equipped with household essentials. Nice backyard, landscaping a plus. Good to have parking right outside the door.Cons: Very dated and worn decor. Garbage disposal did not work. Upstairs front bedroom internet and TV never did connect but the back bedroom worked. Living room TV was a challenge everyday to get to local channels but it did connect. Street noise may be an issue for some, we kept slider closed for the AC.

I love this location and easy access to the beach. Super easy check in and out. Internet was down our whole trip/in this condo- not docking for this as we didn’t notify or try to get fixed. Pool was great and property was very well maintained. Only thing I would recommend is getting some thicker/bigger beach towels( we bought some and left behind ). Oh and some boogie boards- we rented some from down the road though. Overall was a great stay :)

Very nice place to stay! Me and husband stayed there for our honeymoon and loved that there was two beaches both less then 5 minutes walk away! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you'd need for cooking if you are not planning to eat out every day. There were also beach chairs and umbrella's available which were super nice for the beach!

Beautiful condo! Very clean and had absolutely EVERYTHING we needed. Snorkel gear, plenty of towels, kitchen utensils and beach gear. So close to the beach and the perfect location to everything in Kihei. Also very proximal to all other towns!

Not getting the door combination until the last possible moment was nerve wracking! Was worried about flight delays and possibly arriving after the office was closed. I do not have internet or a smartphone, so had to make a trip after 10 pm local time on the night before departure to read my email.

Kitchen complete with accessories and love that there’s a washer and dryer we can use. The shopping cart helped us a lot in moving things from the parking to the 3rd floor. Love that they also have beach umbrella, chairs and mats we can use. Thanks, Becky and Mark.

Daniel's studio was just what we needed for 2 adults who wanted to be able to do laundry and have easy parking in a close to beaches location. Beaches are at the end of the block and walkable. Plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream, bars (one with nightly live music), the cinnamon roll place etc. While we found ourselves in the West Maui area more often, we really loved the South Kiehi area (where Daniel's studio is). From a woman's perspective, I loved that the property's hair dryer had a 'cool' setting. When you're somewhere where it's always hot, but you still want to be able to dry your hair, this was a much better hair dryer than I've had in other places. I know it's a minor thing, but it made me happy. He also had a fan in the bathroom. Also, uniquely, this is the first VRBO property were the host had flashlights available. I really appreciated this also, just in case! I actually used one to walk from where the location is on the property to the street at night. The only negative I can think of is I would have a better lit parking area. The assigned car spot is in the back corner, the darkest part of the lot. But I was never alone so this was not a huge deal. Mahalo to Daniel!

The property is listed as a studio “penthouse” but it is a basic studio at best. The location is good, however…-the air conditioner is totally inadequate considering the unit gets intense western sun all afternoon-the TV has 3 remotes and requires a degree in electrical engineering to operate-no dishwasher-no suitcase racks, no towel rails and many windows with no light control blinds-the main problem is there was no relaxing place to sit and relax when not sleeping in the bed.Finally, the sunsets are nice but there’s no nice place to sit comfortably to enjoy them!

Loved our stay at this condo!! It felt like home!! The owners went above and beyond and the property was cleaned, organized and had everything we needed and more!! It had all the basic toiletries, laundry detergent, paper towels, and other house hold essentials to get us started. Along with that, there was beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, cooler and snorkeling gear for us to use.Location—Fabulous!! The unit has a designated parking spot so you don’t have to worry about looking for parking every night. The beach is literally right across the street. And the area is super convenient to local shops, bakeries, restaurants and gas station (walking distance too!). Couldn’t ask for anything more!! Property also has two pools, BBQ area and a tennis court for guests and residents which is nice! Communication—Fantastic!!! You could tell the owner really cares as he made sure we were all set up and was super responsive to any questions we made have had. Book this property!! You won’t regret it!! We’ll definitely be back!!!

Being on the 6th floor you have a perfect view to watch the sunset every night. Location was great. Right across the street from Kam 2 beach and walking distance to several food options and souvenir shops. The condo was a good size for two people. Definitely recommend staying here.

This was our fourth August staying a full month at this wonderful Kihei apartment, and it truly feels like our Maui home away from home. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach, close to great coffee and restaurants, and perfectly central for exploring the island.The apartment is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we need for a long stay. We especially love the breezy balcony for morning coffee and sunsets. The hosts are consistently welcoming and attentive, making every visit seamless.We can’t imagine spending August anywhere else, this apartment has become part of our Maui tradition and we highly recommend it!Agim & Luljeta

The condo was not cleaned properly, and the coffee maker was broken. I went to the office to report these issues. After three days, we finally received a replacement coffee maker, but it arrived on the morning of our move-out, which was frustrating.While the condo is in a great location, it needs better management to take care of its maintenance.
