Great location in Kihei with two lanai's with pool and ocean front views. Cold a/c and plenty of space. Amazing space at the price offered. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Awesome view, great communication with owner. Nice quiet pool area and green space. Close to restaurants and grocery store. Unit could use some updating but overall good stay.

The view and location was fantastic. The room is as advertised and the pool was fairly quiet. There were beach chairs and umbrellas that came in handy at the beach.

We had a wonderful time! The place was had very thoughtful touches. It’s on the beach with a nice grass area for kids to get their energy out. The views were lovely. If your going with little kids, rent a car or Uber. Your not far from abc store, Hawaiian ice, small bakery. Someone can walk there but nit a walk you want to with little ones. They might get tired.Adults fine. We rented a car. I would stay here again, with family or friends.

Ocean Views abound in this very welcoming and comfortable unit. Well equipped throughout, including added bonus of beach chairs and umbrellas. Two Lanai's with gorgeous view of the Pacific and about a 30 second walk to the relaxing pool area. Great communication and hospitality from the host topped off a great family vacation. We would definitely go back!!

My family of five stayed for 8 nights and we had a the best stay! It was very clean, plenty of towels and extra linen. Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, etc- all in the condo to use! It was a great location in Maui! We had beautiful sunsets from either our balcony or the very short walk to the beach. Ed had great communication with us before we got there, and we didn’t have any issues while we were there so we didn’t have to contact him during the stay. We would definitely Stay here again if we come to Maui again! :)

Nice location and nice view. Had lots of beach stuff to use...towels, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc. That was very handy! Place could use a little TLC but it served its purpose! We would stay again!

It was our 3rd time on Maui and the best stay among them. Our stay was super and we would stay here again. The location is great with really good view. The communication with the property manager was very fast and efficient.

There was a hiccup with the door lock upon our arrival, so we were not able to stay in the condo the first night and had to book a hotel elsewhere. However once the property owner became aware he offered to reimburse us not only for the night we missed, but the cost of our hotel as well. He was very apologetic and did everything you’d expect to make it right. His local property manager left a note with her number, and when the coffee maker died she brought one to us within hours. The view is spectacular, it rained basically the entire week we were there but the hot tub was nice, and we were still able to see some amazing sunsets. Condo has just about everything you’d need. Great price for Maui, I’ve been to Hawaii several times but always avoided this island due to how much more accommodations are there compared to the other islands, but this condo is very affordable for what you get compared to other places in Maui. I will suggest that if you are traveling with people who like to get up earlier than you, do not sleep in the bedroom off of the living room. The doors are just folding closet doors with stained glass windows. As a result my very early rising stepdad woke us up every morning at 4:30 am making coffee because the noise wasn’t blocked and the light from the kitchen flooded the room. That’s just an FYI, I’d still rent this place again….but just maybe with different travel partners. No vacation is perfect but overall it was a good experience.

We sat on the balcony and watched whales splashing in the sea - what a paradise! Although the interior is a little dated, this is such a great place to stay. Quiet, safe, you can watch your kids play on the grass from the balcony, comfy beds (sofa bed not so comfy but kids did fine on it), lots of cutlery and crockery, lots of beach towels, effective air con, games, beautiful clean pool and spa, convenient location for day trips - and did I mention the view?! The other 2 brilliant things were that a whole lot of beach things (chairs, umbrellas, flippers, boogie boards) are in the cupboard to use, and an excellent guidebook was left for us. Had a great time,would highly recommend.

After spending some time on the island of Molokai we had some extra days to spend in Maui. We picked this place as it was right on the ocean and was closer to our budget than many other places (although still too high priced we felt). This condo has a beautiful view of the ocean, give it 5 stars for that. However, the condo itself is in need of much help. It is very dated and run down. Needs a total make-over and some repairs need to be done. For the high nightly price we were charged we hoped for better. Surface cleaning was ok but if you looked closer some things in the condo were extremely dirty (lamps, fans, etc.). Food and clothing left from previous renters was a turn-off too. It was ok to stay here a few nights but I would not return unless many improvements were made.

This condo is centrally located in Kihei, close to shopping centers and restaurants. The view of the ocean is great! We enjoyed many gorgeous sunsets from the balcony. However the inside needs a lot of work, the condo needs a facelift from furniture to linens etc. Ed was easy to reach and replied to my messages in a timely manner. I will share a detailed list with him of items that need repairs.

We really enjoyed this condo in Kihei. We loved the layout and the spaciousness. It also faces the right direction to avoid the winds. The patio was well sheltered. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of towels and linens. I love having central air to cool me down. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and it is so nice to so close to a beach you can walk on. Prompt responses with any questions. It is a little farther north than many of the restaurants, public beaches, and stores but we don’t mind driving where we need to go. Thanks so much! Will definitely stay again when we come back!

The check in was seamless. Location was on the beach. View, especially sunset was overwhelming. Shops and Restaurants are closeby by car. House has everything for cooking. Swimming pool/hot tub can be seen from the balcony. Overall we felt like a second home.

6 adults stayed for 5 nights and it was perfect for us. Beds and even the sofa bed were great and allowed for restful sleep. The ground was great to stroll early morning. Walking to beach and many stores and restaurants nearby. Sunset was spectacular from the deck and the bed.

We enjoyed our trip very much! The views were perfect. Glad to see they had an elevator to make carrying luggage easy. Beds are comfy. We had everything we needed. You will need your own snorkel gear and masks.

I'm just BURSTING with positivity after our stay at this condo, I don't even know where to start. About us: My husband and I were traveling with our 7 yo daughter. This was our first visit to Maui, and overlapped our stay with some family friends when were there at the same time at a resort 2 buildings away. We didnt want to do too many 'touristy' things and with our little one couldn't do intense hikes or day long trips, so we're looking for more local events and things to do where we could talk to residents Communication with owner: Ed has been a key element in how we planned out visit. He was so friendly and helpful in recommendations and tips. He shared some pro tips about reading the Maui Revealed: the ultimate guidebook before coming. I ended up purchasing and it is such an amazingly honest book. He also told us to bring our Costco card as groceries are expensive and there's a Costco by the airport approx 25 min drive from the condo. That tip saved us SO much money!! He even checked the day after our flight to make sure we got in ok. Overall just a fantastic person! Condo contents, appliances etc: The condo has very new/recently purchase appliances. I wish we had this stove at home!! This condo has every kitchen accessory known to mankind lol. I'm pretty sure I saw a slow cooker and a rice cooker! We mainly used the toaster and microwave. The coffee maker saved us from our jet lag lol And thank goodness for the filters...cuz we brought the wrong size lol. All the furniture, tv, channels wifi was perfect! We'd put our kid to bed and just watch tv in the master bedroom. Balconies and view: Holy gaucomole the view was breathtaking. We spent every meal on the beach facing balcony. One afternoon a group was practicing their hila routine out on the grass and we just sat on the balcony and watched. That view was postcard worthy!! The SECOND balcony (so bonus!!) Was off the master bedroom and faced the pool. It was still quiet in the master bedroom. All residents and guests were very friendly and respectful of noise levels Cleanliness: So I'm a neat freak and this place was friggin spotless, like seriously...so clean. And the oven looked brand new!! Cleaned down to the baseboards...very impressed. Overall, we feel incredibly spoiled by our whole experience. The location of this condo was just perfect. So close to so many little food spots and food trucks, and a short drive away from big box stores like Walmart, target et

We had a wonderful time in Kihei and felt privileged to be staying in such a beautiful apartment. We were a party of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) enjoyed every day of our 1 week stay. We enjoyed a morning swim in the sea a few steps from the apartment, spent the day discovering the island and loved jumping back into the pool in the evening. The apartment has everything you need, is perfectly equipped and has the most breathtaking ocean view, including first row seats to watch the sunset. Communication with the owner was great, very helpful and welcoming. It was a great experience, and we'd love to come back!

The view was awesome, the sunset pictures I took off the balcony came out great, I plan on blowing some of them up and putting ony walls at home. The location to town is perfect, you can walk up to shops and restaurants if you want or cook in the condo. The host sent me emails a couple of times making sure everything was good. This is definitely a five star place. Thank you for renting it out.. Debbie Smith and Family.

You can’t beat the amazing views or the central location in Kihei! A short walk to the beach was great and the condo has everything you need. The pool and hot tub were nice too. Every morning and sunset the view was better than a picture! Ed was very helpful and great to deal with. Thank you!!

We really enjoyed the beautiful view from the patio and being on this end of the city felt a lot quieter than when we’ve stayed on the south end of town. The beach directly in front of the property is a bit rocky, but plenty of good space to walk up and down the beach. We ended up driving a very short distance to the north (next to the humpback whale sanctuary) and set up camp each day from there and it was perfect for us. The house had everything we needed for the beach (boogie boards, cooler, chairs) and the kitchen had enough plates/glasses/silverware that we weren’t having to constantly be doing dishes. Having two bedrooms for our family of four was great and allowed us to simply relax in the main room instead of it having to be someone’s sleeping area. Overall we had a great time and appreciated Ed staying in contact with us and being available if we needed anything.

My wife and two teenage boys had the opportunity to stay in unit #211 and it did not disappoint. The location and 180-degree view are worth the price of admission. The unit is a great size with enough room for a family and the comforts you need to be comfortable. The boys had their own room and bathroom, and so did we. I highly recommend the unit for its location to the beach, the location to all things Maui. Literally, you are at the fulcrum of anything you want to do within a short drive in any direction. Lastly, the owner us super-responsive to your reservation and needs. Highly recommended unit.

Enjoyed our stay. Great views from both lanai's, and seating available on both. Beach umbrella, beach chairs and cooler available with access to the beach. Easy access into the unit and lots of parking. Cleanliness of the lanai's could have been better. Overall, 4+ stars. We will be back, looking forward to it. Thank you so much Russ and Ed.

It was all great view of the ocean. Near by stores. Large unit. Cleaning ladies could step up their game a little. There was no shampoo in extra bathroom with twin beds. No conditioner in master bathroom. Other wise we enjoyed the nice kitchen, the huge cooler and the lanai that had a fabulous ocean view. We had a nice time. Russ was amazing and answered all my questions. He was able to give me A early check in and that was nice. Parking was great. All the codes worked for doors. We had a wonderful time driving the road to Hana.

This was our first time in Maui and experiencing a condo style living for vacation. We could not have planned this better. The condo is located beautifully facing the beach. Lovely amenities and easy access to beach. Condo has everything you need for a day on the beach.

View from Lanai’s upstanding. All beach and kitchen equipment provided and sufficient. Quiet building, respectful residents. Although non-smoking property, we did have to put up with pot smoke next to us for the first week. Not sure how to report that but otherwise an excellent stay on every regard.

We love staying at Kauhale Makai condos. This condo was exactly as described in the VRBO write up. Nice new fridge and dishwasher. Lanai is lovely. Bedrooms and clean and comfortable. TV and entertainment system works well. View of the front lawn and west Maui mountains cannot be beat. We appreciated that there were 3 boogie boards and beach chairs in the condo. A few mechanical items need some work: doors and drawers not opening and closing well. We would come back!

We had a great stay. It was nice to enjoy the scenery each morning and evening on the Lanai. Good location to get to and from activities, beaches and dining. Appreciated the amenities such as cooler, beach towels and beach chairs.

Cozy and inviting, Russell's condo shines with character and charm. The condo was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long hiking trip in Haleakala Natl. Park. The front lawn with palm trees facing the beach makes it picturesque-perfect. We arguably saw the best sunset from this area.

We stayed in this clean 2nd floor condo in northern Kihei for 10 days in July. We loved the beautiful view off the living room balcony! Gorgeous sunsets and lovely view of palm trees and the ocean. The master had a very comfortable bed and balcony that overlooked the pool and also faced the ocean. The hall closet was equipped with beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards which we used at Wailea and Kihei beaches. The owner was very responsive to our questions and concerns and that was greatly appreciated. We loved our Maui vacation. Thank you!

The apartment was 2 minutes to the beach and we delighted in that. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed. We had an issue with check-in where the unit was not cleaned. Apparently it was due to a glitch in the system. Host was very responsive and it was resolved quickly.

First, the view is real…spent so many mornings and evenings soaking up the views from the lanai! Could not get enough. Convenient central location to restaurants, beaches, and Maui sites. The condo was very comfortable and clean. The beds were comfy and the second room was perfect for our two children (14 and 10). Great place to relax and enjoy your vacation!

This was a great condo with all the amenities you would hope for. The owner was fantastic; very accessible! The views off the two balconies were simply incredible. We ate almost all our meals there and the view was better than any restaurant you could go to. Their kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Quality appliances throughout. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. The air conditioner was really good. They had Tommy Bahama beach chairs, cooler, great beach towels, and very comfortable furniture in the unit. Pool was a bit small for the size of the complex. Even though they have a child's pool, children with diapers were in the adult pool and jacuzzi. There were no rules for the pool and how children use it. This did not affect us much because we went to the local beaches. Our favorites were Big Beach and Wailea Beach. Facilities management was very weak. Often they were not available. They made the code to get into the pool ridiculously complex and do not monitor the pool at all. Elevators were beeping alerts all the time and they were left that way by management for days at a time. Inadequate washers and dryers (dryer worked for 10 minutes and you had to keep going down to feed it with money) For the size of the property too few machines. People left clothes in washer and dryer for hours after cycle completed and there was no place to put their clothes so you could use the machines. If the property management of this complex was better, this would warrant 5 stars. Certainly, the unit and owner of the condo deserve 5 stars. I would still highly recommend this unit because it is just beautiful and the owner was fantastic. Property management leaves much to be desired...

It was our first time here and I think we picked the perfect place. The condo had everything we needed and is so centrally located, making it a great jumping off point to explore this magical island. The sunsets off the balcony were breathtaking and the beach is steps away. Also close to a major shopping center that has everything. We'd definitely return here if we can get back someday.

This condo, while a little older, was great. The views were amazing! Kihei was in central Maui so it was close to everything! The owner called to make sure everything was working which was a great gesture. Pineapples were amazing!! We’d stay here again!!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Amazing ocean views on both balconies. Loved that the unit had everything we needed to make breakfast in the mornings. Also loved that it had 4 beach chairs, umbrella and cooler for us to use for the beach. AC was great too! The condo was close to most of our favorite restaurants/food tucks and beaches. Only inconviniece was that the bedroom doors were hard to open/close all the way and we ended up having to buy more toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. Would definitely recommend and stay here again though!



September 2010
This condo was perfect for our needs! The view was amazing and we enjoyed sunsets every night. Every morning we ate breakfast on the lanai and planned our days activities. We felt the condo was centrally located and a perfect launching pad for great days. My two year old son loved the wading pool and we were in the pool, hot tub and wading pool sometimes more than once a day. We only spent 8 nights, but wish we could have stayed much longer. The beds were all comfortable (even the hide-a-bed couch). The unit was clean and well kept and accommodating.
