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.

Proximity to the beach was great ! Short walks to stores and restaurants. Water shoes and beach chairs… some condiments in the fridge. Very nice stay. Thanx. Martha and Pete.

Clean and comfortable. Nice view of ocean. Angled view. Well equipped kitchen. We cooked at home most nights and found nothing lacking. Plenty of nice restaurants/cafes in walking distance. Cinnamon place in adjacent center worth a stop for takeout but go early or wait in long line. Location is excellent to travel to a variety of places in Maui. Our activities included: Pineapple plantation, cacao farm, Maui Winery, relaxed on beaches in Kihei and further South, dinner at Mama’s Fishhouse, whale watching tour, Distillery tour, Glassblowing factory and did the “Road to Hana”. Never felt far from any destination. Beach was indeed close. The two pools were nice. We used the BBQ Grills at pool areas and found them to be high quality DCS grills and very clean. Wine cork remover in kitchen drawer was broken but I bring my own. We were watching some NFL playoffs few nights that weekend. They could do with a larger TV. But that’s really not a negative or complaint - you don’t go to HI to watch TV!! But having a VRBO cabin which I rent myself at Yellowstone I know things like that can make a place more attractive and elegant without huge expense, so I thought I’d mention it. TV and Internet worked fine.

This is a very nice place. The condo had everything we needed including chairs, umbrellas, and towels for the beach across the street from the the complex. The kitchen has lots of options for cooking and plenty of space. The main living area is large and nicely furnished and the lanai is also large and very nice, and it is shaded until mid-afternoon. The bedrooms and baths are as described. The unit is accessible to a walker or mobility scooter. The step-in shower has a threshold you have to step over. We rented a shower chair from Akamai. You can walk to Coconuts for fish tacos, the Cinnamon Roll Place, and a coffee and ice cream shop right next door, We will return.

The condo is clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped. We didn't cook at all, but they had everything you would need if you wanted to cook. The description of the AC situation was spot on. You won't get that chilly feel you get from hotel AC, but we were never uncomfortably warm. Some of the windows are louvered windows, including in the bedroom, and there were ceiling fans and floor fans in the unit as well as a locking screen door across from the balcony windows. The only slight negative about this place is the pool- it was very tiny and sad looking, but you don't need a pool at this condo because the ocean is across the street at Kamaole II beach. We literally just walked down, jumped in the ocean and walked back up to the condo when we were done. So, if you're a pool person or you want to live in the refrigerator this condo is not for you, but if you're looking for a comfortable place to stay that's convenient to the beach, lots of restaurants, food trucks etc this is a good spot!

The condo's photos make it look a whole lot better than it is in real life. The condo could definitely use a good scrubbing; it is a bit tired and worn.Other than that, it is fine, a great location, and an easy walk down to the street/beach.

Our second stay at Lynette’s place was just as fabulous as the last. The new addition of AC units in the bedroom made for a very comfortable stay. Can’t wait to return!

Very easy communication. Convenient 1st floor. 2 minute walk from the beach. The only possible improvement would be that my wife would have liked more AC :-)

This was a great first time experience for us. The owner was/is amazing, it's a nice, well equipped studio, exceptionally clean and and I loved having a washer/dryer. Excellent location to the beach for sunrise, sunset viewing. The parking felt safe and well lit. The biggest blessing was having an elevator. Dragging suitcases, groceries and tired bodies to the studio was much easier and appreciated. I just can't say enough about Becky, Mark and their condo. Thank you!!!!

The location was absolutely ideal, there were several beaches within a short walk. The beaches were great and there was always room for us. There are lots of amenities around. The pool and BBQ area was great. The condo itself was a bit dated but overall we were very happy with where we were.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: I really loved this condo. Comfy bed, good location, safe, etc. air conditioners work great. Improvements could be a fan in the bathroom and a fully closing door (has a sliding door), boogie boards would be nice, a full length mirror and electric tea kettle would be great additions.

Great location, ground floor, directly across from tennis courts and pool. The unit was as advertised and very well priced. The unit is dated but the price more than made up for that. The washer and dryer is brand new and the bed was very comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen to cook but everything was there is you wanted to. I hope to stay again in the future.

Everything about this property, from the very Warm Welcome with Hosts, Chris and Trisha to the Well Stocked Amenities and Cleanliness to the Fabulous Property and its amenities!!

The condo was great! Everything that we needed was there from the kitchen, bathroom, linens and beach items. Unit had a nice big washer and dryer. Chris was a great host! Excellent communication before and during our stay. Loved sitting out on the lanai looking at the ocean. Condo complex was also great- 2 pools, plenty of grills and right across from the beach!

Great location, great hosts. Convenient condo, definitely on the smaller side, but cozy and comfortable spot. Best for a couple and/or maybe one kid, it was just me and my daughter so perfect fit. Had everything necessary for a great trip. Beach gear and kitchen, dedicated parking spot, wifi was consistent and strong inside the unit

We are a family of four and have been to Maui numerous times in the past. I like the location as it is in the south part of Kihei, which is close to Wailea where we visit lots of times. The condo is set back from S. Kihei Rd., which makes it a little bit quieter. It will depend on your neighbors, especially above to determine if you hear them or not. We didn't have any neighbours above us that were noisy for the first six days of our trip, but then there was a little bit of noise on the last day from our neighbors, which was minimal but noticeable. It was a good unit. We were very happyno complaints.

Great place and view of.the ocean. Saw a whale breaching and and putting on a show the first time I stepped out on the balcony, so that was an awesome way to start the trip! There is also pretty good snorkelling at the perfect beach across the street. Timed it and was 4 minutes from the door to the water..amazing.

Excellent location, best in Kihei, right across the road from the best beach on the island! Plus, all kinds of cafes and shops within walking distance. The condo was perfect for us with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The complex is quiet and has a nice pool area. The condo is on the top floor which was very nice, and the elevator was just around the corner from the unit. And of course, you cannot beat the ocean view from the lanai which just puts that cherry on top! Bill is a great host, and communication was prompt and pleasant. He made sure to explain everything, checked in with us prior and during the stay. It was an absolute pleasure working with Bill!

From connecting with Kathy to check in and checking out we’re seamless and excellent. The unit is ideally situated, was clean, quiet and had the benefit of split aircon in lounge and bedroom. We had a great stay and will most definitely book the unit again.

We really enjoyed our month long stay in November/December… The suite is indeed very bright and breezy. We never had to use the A/C, just the two ceiling fans helped keep us cool and comfortable.The Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the barbecue grills at the pool were excellent and impeccably clean…Bed, bathroom and living area were perfect for our needs. When we had an issue with the TV, Terry took time out of his Sunday to help us by replacing the cable box and tv remote through the local service provider…Another big plus, the toys!!! They’ve got everything anyone would want for a fun day at the beach. We used the Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella almost every day. The adult sized boogie board was also appreciated. We won’t worry about packing snorkelling fins next time, they’ve got sets to fit the whole family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to renting this unit again.
