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.

Nani Kai Hale delivers a classic, laid‑back Maui beachfront stay on Sugar Beach. Guests love being steps from the sand, with a quiet lawn lined with loungers, umbrellas and gas BBQs, plus a small pool overlooking the ocean for sunset watching and whale sightings in season. The location is praised as both peaceful and central: an easy base for exploring the island, with the Sugar Beach Bake Shop, Ululani’s Shave Ice, a farmers market and an ABC store a short walk away. The overall vibe is friendly and low‑key, with an attentive onsite manager and welcoming residents.

Condos vary by owner, but many reviewers found their units clean, comfortable and well stocked. Common perks include two bathrooms in many one‑bedrooms, full kitchens with cooking basics, and plenty of beach gear (chairs, towels, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel sets). Self check‑in is usually smooth, parking is easy, and laundry rooms on each floor (coin/app) are convenient. Several guests called out responsive hosts and property managers (including Bello Realty and individual owners) who handled questions or minor issues quickly.

This is an older, well‑kept complex, so finishes and furnishings can feel dated in some units, and experiences vary—check photos and recent reviews for the exact condo. Recurring cons include occasional maintenance hiccups (sticky sliders, slow drains, leaking dishwashers) that are often addressed promptly; differing A/C setups (some only in the living room or on timers); and some noise for road‑ or event‑side units (traffic, early roosters, wedding music next door until 10 p.m.). Northern Kihei’s water can be murkier and isn’t prime for snorkeling, though it’s great for long walks and easy swims. If views and quiet matter, aim for an ocean‑facing unit, confirm A/C locations and recent updates, and expect a relaxed condo experience over a high‑end resort.

Great location, walkable to a cute farmer’s market and an ABC store, pretty central to wherever you want to go. Apartment was clean and stocked with necessities like towels, blankets, pillows, etc.

5 star view! Out the front door are stunning views of Haleakala and Molokini. The lanai boasts exceptional views of West Maui. Perfect central spot makes for easy drives to all the POI’s. Early morning and sunset beach walks. Clean, comfortable, well appointed kitchen and AC! Controlled, private access to the pool/common areas and beach. My hubby grilled one night for dinner. Easy and ample parking. ABC Store and shave ice a short walk away. Laundry center on same floor a few doors down, easy peasy! If you open the windows later in the day you get an exceptional breeze thru the condo! The beach chairs and cooler came in handy for whatever the day had in store, will book again next time we visit Maui! Mahalo Kristal!

Absolutely loved our stay at this property! First, I couldn't find a better price for such quality! It exceeded all my expectations — the place was sparkling clean, and the views of the mountain and water were breathtaking every single day. The condo had everything we needed for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. My husband was so thrilled I chose this spot. Plus, the location with a private lounging area was perfect! Lara was incredibly responsive and super generous (along with the cleaners), even allowing us to check out late because our flight was in the evening. Thanks to her, we enjoyed every moment right up to departure. Just a heads-up: don’t forget quarters for the washing machine! Highly recommend this amazing place!

This property is in a great location, right on the beach, with easy access to restaurants and other areas. However, the condo could use some improvements: some of the electrical outlets don't work, and the unit is dated.

Pros: -Location of the condo was great, ABC store, shaved ice and a coffee/breakfast cafe within walking distance.-Beach and pool area are close and easy to get to. -Laundry room onsite-Unit was clean and had everything we needed. -The view of the ocean is visible from the balcony, not a straight on view but you can see water. The view of the west Maui mountains is also visible from the balcony. -property manager Steve is friendly and had great beach recommendations for snorkeling-instructions are clear and easy to followCons: we only had one major con. There was a plumbing issue in the master suite. The water in the tub wasn’t draining like it normally should and towards the end of our stay it wouldn’t drain at all. The toilet also would not flush and it backed up into the tub. We communicated with the host but pretty much got accused of putting something in the toilet and clogging the system. We were told to contact a plumber ourselves. After contacting several plumbers we finally were able to get one to come out. This was on our last day there and it ruined all of our plans for the day. The plumber came and put a camera down the pipes and turns out the pipes are all corroded and had massive amounts of scaling. We were told the pipes were old, not the hosts fault. I just wished the situation was handled better by the host. The property manager Steve was very helpful and showed more compassion and sympathy. In the end everything was fine, host paid for plumber

Loved this condo . Condo as described, great communication with Bello Realty that helps manage some of the condo’s at Nani Kai Hale. Would definitely stay here again. I accidentally left my pricey jewelry on the armoire, the realty company promptly found my jewelry and sent it back to me. Couldn’t rate this condo high enough!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: Property was exactly as described. Two adults with two kids fit easily in the unit, dinners with 8 people also fit. Extra bonus was was the beach chairs and the beach umbrella. The bed was super comfortable (as I get older the mattress makes a big difference in the quality of sleep I get.

We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend. Location was convenient, accommodations were clean and updated, and since there were four of us we loved having two bathrooms. Mahalo to the hosts who provided lots of little things we enjoyed using (snorkel equipment, beach chairs, beach towels).

The unit and location was great. Everything you could want to relax and cook meals as needed. Loved being steps from the beach.Two concerns: while we were there for 5 days, two people got their laundry stolen from apt laundry room. We were hesitant to use laundry.room. Secondly, there were over 25 notes of does and donts in the welcome letter and posted around the condo. It was anxiety producing that we might do something wrong that would cost us"" It felt threatening.

This property was misrepresented on VRBO. To have a view of something besides another complex or a parking lot, one had to open 2 doors that were so dirty, they almost wouldn't roll. The bed was very good, everything else was adequate, but I would not refer this unit to anyone.

We stayed for 8 nights. Very easy to get around on public transportation- stop is down the street. Also just down the street is a wonderful bakery coffee shop and ABC store, easy to really to resupply. The property itself was comfortable and it has a lawn area and beach access. Overall it was a great place to stay. We would stay here again!

Perfect spot for those who rather be let loose in paradise with no attachments. Check in is automated, no line ups, no hassle. Just walk right in to a perfect little sanctuary put your belongings down and go walk the beach. Everything you need is accessible or easy to get. They have small coolers, beach chairs, snorkel gear and beach towels. Laundry is easy to setup through an app, parking is a breeze. Even a nice little drink, snack spot a couple doors down. I read comments on noise. Not an issue for us, was quite quiet but you’ll hear the odd locals music in a Toyota from time to time at night. No big deal. You’ll love it hear as we did.

The Property was nicely situated on the beach. It was nice & relaxing there.Kitchen was well equipped. However, there were nasty notes all over the condo of things previous renters did the owners didn’t like. For example, don’t burn up my pots, don’t slam the door, for every clump of hair seen you’ll get a demerit, and my favorite - don’t bleach my brown towels… (including a hanger in the closet with an example of a bleached towel on it). Who does this? Ive rented many places before and have never seen such negative notes. I also found it odd that I texted the owner asking about restaurants in the area and his response was to google even though he said he lived 5 minutes away. Again, in previous rentals most Owners leave guest books and helpful, not negative, notes with details of the unit and surrounding area. These details are worth mention to me . Some people may not care but I do.

Waking up to the sounds of waves crashing, the breeze russling the palms and making the decision to walk and then get a cup of coffee, or get a cup of coffee and then take the walk. Tough decisions when you’re totally relaxed.

I selected this property because it has 2 bathrooms but after arriving we discovered it has so much more.The location is perfect, somewhat off the main road but convenient to everything.This property provides everything you need to be comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with all the comforts of home.The property hosts provide prompt and gracious responses to any question.

We stayed 8 nights in this cute little condo and had a very nice relaxing time. The unit is small, especially the kitchen, but well equipped (be sure to look in the cabinets underneath the bar). Very nice bedroom with comfortable bed and en-suite bathroom plus a 2nd full bath. Two large TV’s, a screen front door, great lanai for viewing sunsets and a quiet property. Pool and beach area is locked at all times with BBQ grill and tables. The laundry for our floor was right next door and the traffic did not bother us at all. Very slight concerns are living room furniture needs an upgrade with additional seating, and the two in-wall heat/ac units were more than enough for February but not sure about the hot season. Would stay there again. Mahalo!

Great place and location, only drawback is the traffic noise if you want to keep the windows open to hear the ocean, as the condo is right off of South Kihei Road. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The place was clean, spacious and well stocked with basic items you need to cook a meal. Also had beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, and cooler!

Cozy, comfortable place. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed for meals. Only negative was the lanai. Partial ocean view which was mentioned but it was also over the car park. Very small and not ideal for sitting out for long periods or eating out there.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay in this unit. It had all the amenities, anppliances and beach accessories one would ever need. The location was wonderful with easy access to both Wailea and Lahaina. Coffee and chocolates were welcome and greatly appreciated.An added benefit was the proximity to the Sugar Beach Bake Shop. Yummy malassadas.

We loved staying here and being able to walk down to the beach in the morning. The kitchen, dining room, and bedrooms were just right for our needs. The balcony with a view of the ocean was lovely!

The cozy apartment enjoys a lovely view of the ocean through the waving palm fronds. The king bed is very comfortable. Two bathrooms with roomy walk-in showers, shampoo, body wash, and towels made for an efficient his and hers utilization. Updating ceiling fans with lights would make a huge improvement for enjoying evenings and the occasional cloudy day. Nice pool and beachside chairs on a lawn lead to direct access to Sugar Beach and its miles long walks.

February 2025

This place was filthy with mold and water damage in every room. We left after the third day. I became very ill from the filth and mold. The shower in the 2nd bathroom was broken. The ocean view is ‘partial’ at best. There were stains on the sheets and pillow cases.

Condo unit is great and has super easy access to sugar beach. Bakery and shaved ice place within 5 min walking. Super convenient location to get to Kihei proper, and the rest of the island without feeling like you're right next to the bars etc. The unit is a little older so normal expected 'wear and tear' seen. The communication with property management was super easy, fast, and small issues were handled quickly (we didn't get a printed out parking permit on arrival & couldn't find a printer, needed extra bedding/blanket). Would recommend and definitely would personally stay here again!
