What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 938 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.

Travelers consistently praise Kihei Garden Estates for its easy, low‑key Maui vibe and superb convenience. The complex sits a short walk from a quiet beach (great for sunsets and frequent turtle sightings), with a grocery store, coffee, food trucks, and restaurants just around the corner. Grounds are lush and well kept, with a relaxing pool, hot tub, and a popular covered BBQ/outdoor kitchen area. Many condos are thoughtfully stocked with beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, and full kitchens, making it an excellent value and a practical base for families and longer stays. Hosts and managers are generally responsive and helpful.

Guests say staying here feels residential and peaceful rather than resorty. Mornings on the lanai, evenings strolling to the beach, and uncrowded pool time are common highlights. The location in Kihei is central for exploring the island and close to Wailea’s beaches; parking is easy, and on‑site coin laundry is handy. Several units are updated and very clean, with comfortable beds and effective AC in living areas; the complex community and even the mango trees add a friendly, homey touch.

A few caveats reflect the condo nature of the property. Quality varies by unit: some are older or show wear, and occasional housekeeping or maintenance hiccups pop up. AC is often limited to the living room or on timers, so lofts/bedrooms can run warm; laundry is typically coin‑op, not in‑unit. The nearest beach is lovely for walks, sunsets, and turtles but can be shallow/rocky for swimming—many guests drive a few minutes to Kamaole or Wailea beaches. Several reviews note a visible unhoused presence around the perimeter/near the beach; most felt safe, but some were uncomfortable after dark. If you want polished, oceanfront luxury, look elsewhere; for a well‑priced, well‑located, family‑friendly home base, this is a winner.

This unit had all the conveniences of home and was ready to be enjoyed by the time we arrived. It was very well equipped, and we didn't need to look for or purchase any additional items for our stay (other than food). Everything worked, and we did not need to contact management during our 7-day stay. Checking into our unit was very easy. Management provided the code ahead of time, and all we had to do was punch it in, and we were in. The unit was very warm inside when we arrived, but once we set up the two A/C units (one up in the loft and the other in the bedroom downstairs) and all the fans, the room started to cool down. There were 5 of us, so one person used the sofa bed. It was easy to set up, although the memory foam mattress is a bit thin and might be uncomfortable for some adults. I recommend bringing an eye mask for those staying in the loft or sofa bed. It's very bright. The pool was very clean, and next to it, there was a working spa. The neighborhood was very quiet, and you only needed to get around another property in front of this one to get to the beach (2 min. walk). We spent our first day at this beach and saw an amazing sunset. There is a market right around the corner, as well as shops and some food places. This was a great location for us since we used it as a jumping point to do the Haleakala Crater Sunrise, kayaking/snorkeling in Turtle Town, Lahaina Luau, and 18 minutes from the airport. Without a doubt, we would consider staying here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is perfect. Close to the airport, shops, beaches.The beach just outside of the apartments has turtles almost every day. Nice and quiet.Plenty of space. two bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need. Outside there is a swimming pool and a jacuzzi. The studio has two vacuum cleaners, towels, chairs and an umbrella for the beach. Fans in each room. We turned off the air conditioner at night, the fans at the minimum speed provided the necessary coolness. For the entire two weeks of staying here, everything was great. Big thank you to the management,the guys are great.We had a late departure flight at the airport. Almost 11 pm. We were allowed to stay in the apartment until 8, absolutely without asking for any money. We are very grateful to you for this. Otherwise, departure at 11 am, and almost the whole day is lost. Thank you again.

Kihei Garden Estates is in a great location—close to shops, restaurants, and a beautiful sandy beach. The grounds are lush and well-maintained, and the complex was generally quiet aside from unexpected roofing construction during our stay, which brought noise, equipment, and a partial parking closure we hadn’t been warned about.The listing describes the unit as newly renovated, but the furniture and beds felt dated. The king bed was uncomfortably soft, the pillows were flat, and there was only one nightstand, so we had to use a kitchen stool on the other side. Upon arrival, the floors weren’t very clean, and we had to purchase facial tissues and addtional toilet paper for the length of our stay. Since we traveled with carry-on luggage only, we hoped to find basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap) left behind from prior guests, as we’ve experienced in other rentals. There weren’t any, so we stocked both bathrooms and left the supplies for future guests.The washer/dryer is not in the unit but in a shared facility, which wasn’t clearly stated. Posted pricing was 1.25 per load, but machines charged 1.50. The beach chairs were rusty and there weren’t enough for our group. We also frequently encountered unhoused individuals sleeping or loitering on the sidewalk near the complex entrance and beach, which made us less comfortable using the local area. With more accurate info and a few improvements, this could be a much better stay.

As a family with two children under 6, this was the perfect spot. The location, being walkable to shops, food, and the beach was easy for morning coffee and quick food. The onsite pool was perfect for the kids as we could bbq and relax after long days at the beach etc.. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

The images are fairly accurate. It was a bit more cluttered than appears in the photo.The biggest issue was that the unit was getting a new roof the week we were there and there was not communication of that ahead of time. One of our guests was hit with a falling nail and there were screws and nails on the stars leading to the unit. The biggest issue was the banging during the day. We had a toddler that napped and that made it difficult.The owner refunded us 350 of our stay. I will defer to the reader whether that was adequate or not. In general, I would have preferred up front communication and a chance to make a different choice.

We loved the condo. Dan was helpful in getting us a couple items. There was construction on another condo roof which made it hard to enjoy some silence but that’s out of our control. Place was comfy, had beach options in tub outside, back porch and decor was great. We’ll be back for sure!

The property was clean and as described. We unfortunately stayed here while the roof was being replaced, which created a lot of noise and a mess outside from the construction. I notified the rental company and they compensated some of the rental fee due to this inconvenience. I appreciated that since im sure they were unaware of this construction during the time i booked the reservation. There were several homeless people living in the vicinity of the property. I felt uncomfortable allowing my teenage girls to walk around the area after dark. The property description and photos were accurately depicted.

The condo was a perfect location for our one week stay in Maui. Convenient access to local beach, groceries and restaurants with short drives to beaches in Kihei and Wailea. The condo itself also had everything we needed for the week in a comfortable space with the added bonus of a good pool for local relaxation. Communication with the property manager was also excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time staying at this condo in Kihei. It is within walking distance of everything you need: beach, grocery, restaurants, and Tamura's for the best poke. The condo had all the amenities and more, which was great for our family of four. There was a huge mango tree right next to this condo and the caretaker was there and gave us mangos that had fallen off the tree. It was delicious! It was great to have all their beach gear organized and ready for a day of fun. Staci was a wonderful and flexible host. She was very communicative and when we needed to extend our checkout due to a late travel day, she rearranged cleaning to help us out. We were so grateful and cannot thank them enough. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay! Close to South Maui Gardens for good food! Super close walk to Nalu’s for happy hour, as well as the beach to see the sunset, turtles, and we even saw a monk seal! It was so nice to have the pool and grill area with tables. The chairs for the beach were also so nice to have! Thank you for everything, we had a great time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was easy to access and somewhat comfortable. Had a fully stocked kitchen. Beach chairs and boogie boards but we never used the boards. Bed was nice and bathroom. Could have used more towels. There weren’t enough places to sit. One love seat sofa is not ideal for two friends - the kitchen chairs were heavy and uncomfortable too. Loved the pool and hot tub! Washer was also broken and we needed an AC which was broken. Took several txts to get it handled but they made it right. Gave us a late check out and we were still locked out A thankfully we left the back door unlocked so that was frustrating

Our family (two adults, teenagers 16 & 18) just enjoyed a really lovely stay here. It was so spacious, and really well equipped. Not only for being at the apartment, but if you wanted to go to the beach or do day trips, we found the chairs, beach towels and coolers very handy. Other benefits to note: the lanai is a wonderful place to pass the time - the sun is never shining directly on it, so you can enjoy the temperature without getting a burn. Both the beach and a good size grocery store were 2 minute walk away. The king size bed was incredibly comfortable. Having two bathrooms was a treat. The pool and hot tub never seemed to be overly crowded. The neighbourhood is quiet. All in all, we highly recommend this place for a visit to Maui.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I have stayed in this particular condo twice and we stay in Kihei each time we visit Maui. I will make every effort to rent from Rentals Maui in the future!! The condo is clean, well maintained, comfortable and well maintained. The property is beautiful! The pool and hot tub are always clean and my kids love hanging out there. The beach is nearby as well as wonderful restaurants. This trip to Maui I became very ill and spent 9 of our 11 days on the island in the hospital. Matt and Char were so kind and so helpful in working with us to extend our stay. I cannot thank them enough for their help as I was stuck in the hospital and my family was scrambling for a place to stay when we had to extend our trip. Thanks you Matt and Char and Rentals Maui!!

This was amazing trip! The condo was affordable for the location. My younger siblings loved the pool, the baby chickens, and the fact we were so close to the beach and everything else. We will definitely be booking with you guys in the future! It was truly amazing!

Exactly what we needed.This was a perfect home base for exploring such a wonderful island. The kitchen and closet were stocked with everything we needed, which saved us money on renting gear and eating out. It felt more like a home than a resort-style place. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot near a beautiful, uncrowded beach, this is the place to stay.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was enjoyable. Not wild about the location. I would have preferred closer to the Kamaole beaches. I don't think the sheets had been washed in the upstairs bed. There was a bloodstained on the pillow case. And the downstairs bed had the bedspread haphazardly put on sideways. Oh, and the coffeemaker hadn't been washed.

This was perfect for a family of 4. Convenient to have well stocked kitchen, laundry (although the building’s laundry machine was broken but they directed us to the next building over, same complex), balcony, community pool and hot tub. Good location, felt very residential, not touristy, not far from food, supermarkets. Centrally located to be able to reach other parts of Maui easily.

We had a wonderful stay in Kihei. We were very comfortable in the condo and enjoyed the patio, the pool, the hot tub, the short walk to the beach, the boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrella. We felt at home. The grounds are well maintained. Laundry was easy to get to, just down the stairs outside. We appreciate the Barkers and their gracious hospitality and quick response to our questions. “Wonderful!” Is a perfect description.
