Welcome to our tastefully renovated and decorated Kihei Akahi studio D-301, that we affectionately call “Our Pearl”.

Kihei Akahi is located directly across from three of South Maui’s most beautiful beaches, Kamaole I, II and III. All three of the Kamaole beaches have lifeguards, showers and restroom facilities and are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding/body surfing, walking, playing volleyball or just hanging out and enjoying the warm sun, perfect water, swimming with giant sea turtles and watching the magnificent whales from late December to early May.

What sets our studio apart from the other studios at Kihei Akahi are the upgraded polarized dual pane vinyl windows (no jalousies) and a dishwasher (only studio to have a dishwasher).

The Kihei Akahi complex has beautifully maintained grounds, two pools, bbq grills, a tennis court and is centrally located within walking distance to several fine restaurants, shopping and activity centers. Our condo is located at the back of the complex away from the road noise and has a private feeling with great views.

From our private lanai you have the benefit of 180 degree views of ocean, the island of Lanai, stunning sunsets during the summer, West Maui Mountains, sun and moon rises and the leeward slopes of the mighty Haleakala.

Being a corner unit, the additional side window provides good light, views of Haleakala and a wonderful breeze that flows through our condo.

You will have the most comfortable and relaxed stay in our condo. We have updated our unit with new decor and furnishings: a dining table that can seat 4, a Beautyrest World Class Brentford Luxury Firm Queen Size Bed, a sofa, a comfy chair, a lanai set and a beautiful custom made tv armoire that has 2 closets and drawers for your clothes as well as extra storage space for your luggage when you unpack and settle in.

For your indoor entertainment, we have a 39' hdtv and a dvd player.

There is a hanging pot rack with a full set of cookware and the gas range is great to cook on with a microwave/fan/light above it. In addition to a coffee maker (we provide the filters), there is a tea pot, a blender, a toaster oven and a spice rack complete with spices. The refrigerator is full size and we are the only studio in Kihei Akahi that has a dishwasher.

When you head out to the beach there are 2 Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs for you to use, a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella, beach towels and a cooler with wheels. There are also plastic cups, plates and utensils for you to take to the beach or the pool, as well as to use in the condo.

Lovely ocean view balcony. Short walk to beaches and restaurants.

This very roomy studio has everything you need for your stay in Maui. One of the best beaches is a 5 minute walk away. We cooked most of our own meals as the Saturday farmer market down the road had lots of fresh produce. There is an organic grocery store a 10 minute walk away as well. Plenty of towels and a change of sheets are available and beach chairs and coolers...even lanterns if you go to see the sunrise at Haleakala (bring a winter coat!). Myna birds roost next to the condo at sunset each evening. There is a cacophony of activity. We loved it. However, the birds are active at night as well from time to time as are the roosters. With the a/c on you can't hear them. I, personally loved listening to the birds, that's part of the reason I love Hawaii so much. Becky was lovely to deal with. Thank you for letting us stay at your condo.

This condo might be small but the owners have maximized the space and storage so you have everything you need and it feels larger than it is. It was great to have an actual queen size bed with night tables in a studio apartment. The owners provide meticulous instructions about the unit and the resort so finding things was very easy. The beach chairs and umbrella looked new. Contacting the owners was also very easy. The unit is on the quieter side of the building with 190 degree spectacular views of West Maui and Mount Haleakala (and a sliver of the ocean). The resort is in a great location, across from KAM II with many shops and restaurants within a 15 min. walk. Would definitely rent this unit again. Thanks Becky and Mark!

It was our second stay in this very well equipped condo. We missed nothing and enjoyed the amazing view from our Lanai.

The most amazing thing about the property is the ocean view from the lanai. I knew it had one from the pictures but it's much better in person. We watched the sunset from there looking for the green spark. The place is clean and comfortable and comes packed with a lot extra things you can use to help ease your trip. I recommend it to any single person or couple looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

This condo is in a great location- can see the ocean from the balcony and just a short walk across the road to the beach. Becky and mark are terrific hosts, communicate well, and provide everything you need, including beach chairs, umbrella, and towels. The kitchen is well stocked and the condo is in walking distance to some restaurants. Highly recommend!

From the moment we entered the condo it was obvious that Becky and Mark have thought of all your needs while staying on the Island. A sweet note and gift welcoming us to the condo. A notebook detailing their amenities. It was truly a gem of a space and we will highly recommend it to others!

Our stay at this property couldn't be better! The unit was both exceptionally clean and stocked. We've stayed in this complex before and it's a great central location with easy access to everywhere else on the island. It is quiet, secure and very well maintained. Thank you Becky and Mark for letting us enjoy your unit!

The property was perfect, great location. We cooked breakfast every morning before we left to explore. Across the street from the beach, beautiful sunsets. Easy walking distance to several restaurants and stores. Easy access to the highway for all the sightseeing we did. Communication with owners was excellent. We were in touch with them before, during and after our stay. Highly recommend this property. Will definitely stay here again

The lanai at this condo has privacy with no one next to you :) I really enjoyed sitting out there morning and night. My favorite spot! Owners were so amazing to work with. Easy easy check in process. Questions were answered very quickly. Highly recommend this condo.

The condo is in the heart of South Kihei and is in walking distance to key beaches, stores, restaurants. Becky and Mark have created a cozy nest, feathered with thoughtful amenities and necessities. Since it is at the end of the building, no human chatter is heard at all... just the symphony of our avian neighbours.

The property was perfect and exactly what we we’re hoping for. We had everything we needed to be comfortable plus more. Everything is Very clean with a comfortable bed and couch. The view from the lanai was very good and facing the beach, the location was excellent and just a quick walk across the street for swimming and snorkeling and also a good location to walk for something to eat or drink as well. We will definitely be calling again for future visits.

First I want to say that Kihei was an awesome place to stay on Maui. The vibe was laid back, the people were friendly, the amenities around town were top notch without resort prices. I highly recommend it! As for the condo, it was perfect. Great location, great views, fully stocked and comfortable. Check in was easy and thorough. I didn’t have to reach out to the owners at all because I had everything I needed, instructions and all. But prior to my stay, communication with the owners was always answered quickly and friendly. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable (I did have to do some work), the kitchen had everything I needed to cook and save leftovers, the water pressure was great in the shower, the washer dryer was so helpful on my long trip, and the living room had built ins for all my stuff to stay organized. The condo complex was clean, felt safe, and so close to everything (beach, restaurants, liquor store, there’s even a 5-star rated spa just around the corner). A quick drive to Wailea gets you to that high-end resort town with more shopping and restaurants. Several of my excursions left from Wailea so that made it super easy as well. Bottom line, if this condo is available for your dates, book it now because it is absolutely worth it!

Becky & Mark have provided a wonderfully comfortable condo and the location is perfect for Maui adventures! The physical location away from the road allows for more peace and quiet to enjoy the birds and plants and we were able to explore farmer's markets and hiking trails, all within a 35 minute drive. After a fun filled day, we end up at Kamaole Beach II to watch the sun set, then, return to our well appointed residence and reflect on the day's awesomeness. 10/10 would recommend!

Becky and Mark, you could not have done more to make our trip more enjoyable. Thank you for all your attention to detail! Everything was perfect! It is the cleanest unit we have ever stayed in! Having items stocked to help get us started was such a bonus. First place I have ever stayed where the towels were soft and plush. We loved using all the beach gear made our beach days so relaxing. This unit has everything you could possibly imagine including the full refrigerator and dishwasher. It was really a quiet unit with a beautiful view. Centrally located to pretty much anything you would want to do. The beaches across the street were beautiful! Having the restaurants and shopping near by was a huge bonus. We were here during whale season and saw several whales right from the shore and enjoyed many, many gorgeous sunsets. We absolutely could not have asked for more. I only have one question, do you have any other properties in the world? I would search you out every time. A thousand Mahalos! Carol and Jerry

This property is amazing !!!! It’s super clean, has everything you need, and is so convenient to the beach and restaurants. This was our first time using Vrbo and we were so pleasantly surprised. Our property host were amazing answering all of our questions and we couldn’t be more happier with the condition of the property where we stayed!!! The attention to detail was five stars all the way!!

What an amazing experience. We had booked this property well in advance, and couldn’t have been happier about our choice. Literally in the middle of Kihei, a daily beautiful walk down the property right to the beach. And the walk up was great to burn off those Açaí bowls :) The property was perfect, and just what we needed. The most comfortable bed, a fantastic couch for lounging and the private Lanai was AMAZING. So private, nobody to the left or right of you. The views are amazing, you get the mountain to the right and then the ocean to the left. The shower was perfect, kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Fridge freezer combo was clutch!! And if you’re worried about bringing anything for the beach, DONT. Beach chairs, noodles, cooler, towels, even a caddy with wheels to help take everything down to the beach is all there. Great job to Becky and Mark, amazing work and thank you so much, we will be coming back and booking your beautiful property again.

I surprised my wife for our anniversary andcher 60th birthday with this trip. We were blown away the second we got in the condo. Becky and Mark have thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Even the smallest details were taken into consideration for us. The location is awesome, with great views of the ocean and mountains, and we spent every morning, and every evening out out on the lanai sipping coffee, and enjoying the breeze. My one and only complaint? We couldn't stay longer. Mahalo so much Becky and Mark for sharing your amazing condo with with us. We will be back, and anyone I know making the trip out thrre will be referred to you. Aloha-John and Kathy.

Beck & Mark’s condo was perfect for us! It was spotless, in a perfect location, and had everything we needed (and a few things we didn’t even know we needed) to enjoy our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and cannot wait to come back to Maui.

I had a wonderful stay at Becky's condo at Kihei Akahi. This is one of those places you want to keep as a secret, but yet share with everyone. What you see in the pictures and read in the description is exactly what you are getting...a very well appointed studio that will have everything you need and more (yep...sadly...I even used a most likely under used iron/ironing board...that worked great...to fix my wrinkled shirt for Mama's Fish House). I was surprised on how well a studio can be appointed without feeling overfilled. If you need it, it is probably in the condo. Great job Becky! For those that cook, the kitchen is a very nice size and has everything one needs to make a very nice meal. While the unit itself is to be admired (again, it has everything), one of main joys of this place is the lanai. I had breakfast/coffee every morning and a couple evening sunset cocktails on it. In the morning, it was wonderful to listen to the birds...sitting just above the plumeria trees... and have the sun come from behind Haleakala while drinking Maui coffee and eating Hawaiian granola. And in the evening...no need to race to a coastal bar/restaurant...this lanai is your private box seat for movie worthy Maui sunsets as it faces the perfect direction towards the west. As for the grounds, Kihei Akahi is well maintained. The grounds at Kihei Akahi are very nice and lush. They have such a variety of plants/trees, they even have a "Botanical Walk" map. The staff I interacted with were very nice. Evening security patrol were very nice and polite. Finally (but certainly not least) interacting with Becky was easy and I knew if I needed anything she would be there. She was always a quick email or text message away. Secret is out, this is a great place to stay. I hope to visit Becky's condo again on future visits to Maui. Mahalo Becky!

Great location directly across from Kam 2 Beach. The condo has a nice view of both the ocean and mountains. The condo had everything we needed to have a great Maui vacation. The condo was the most well stocked we have ever stayed at. We could really tell that the hosts genuinely care about the experience their guests have.

This condo could be the most thoughtfully appointed unit I have ever rented from any property on VRBO in the USA, Mexico and Europe. The owners clearly took great care to consider whatever a visitor may need and even left a treat and welcome card personally written to me. From the expected things, like good towels, comfortable bedding, appointed kitchen they also included the extended basics for an oceanside condo: great beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, and even extras like lotions and miscellaneous bath needs. The kitchen is small but you could cook a Thanksgiving dinner in it considering all the pots, pans, cooking tools you could possibly need. The unit is on a corner giving windows on two sides and overlooks a greenbelt that may fill up with birds in the late afternoon. But as soon as the sun sets so does their bird-conversation. It’s in a fabulous location with two pools, tennis court, grilling facilities, walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. All of the pictures are exactly what the unit offers and the lovely grounds. The check in process was seamless. I received a text message confirming the details and I was even able to get in earlier than the stated check-in time because the unit was ready. Upon check in I was given a starter bag of clothes detergent – thank you! The key code entry process saves any stress over loosing your key! The owners were extremely attentive with the questions that came up during my stay and were very accommodating to my requests. They are a real delight to know. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer. Thank you for making the last few days of my Maui adventure so sweet and memorable.

The condo has everything you need and the bed was a very pleasant surprise, very comfortable. Nice and close to the best beaches and every other convenience in Kihei. We made good use of the small soft cooler bag that Becky provided when we inquired, it went everywhere with us so thank you for that! The upgrades in the condo were great, especially the new windows, they made a huge difference for temperature control. We never needed the air conditioner. Having the ability to block out the sound of the birds (a nice as they are) allows you to sleep in past 6am! We have stayed in both condos and hotels and I would say this has been our best experience yet (12 Years). We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui. Thank you Becky and Mark! Happy New Year! Debb and Mike

This was our first VRBO. We would never do anything else! What a great first experience. We arrived early to Maui and a text was waiting when we turned our phones back on that our place was ready. WOW, after flying for 13 hours that was greatly appreciated. The condo was equipped with absolutely everything, the little extras(lots of spices, a super comfortable bed, basic condiments, ketchup, mayo, mustard) 2 bottles of cold water, chocolates and macadamia nuts waiting for us upon our arrival. YUM. Situated in the great little town of Kihei with great shops and restaurants in walking distance. The beach was awesome, as was the snorkeling and turtles on both ends of our beach! I am a walker and felt so safe and comfortable taking my morning walks. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you for everything Becky🐢

This was a beautiful condo which had everything we need! As we like to cook, we were happy the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and even spices. The location also can't be beat. Walking distance from a beautiful beach where you can watch the sunset every night. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Everything about this condo was perfect for us. We walked to the beach most days, using the beach chair and beach towels provided. We loved the location; walking distance to some restaurants, shops, coffee and the beach. The view from the balcony was beautiful, we made breakfast in the morning and a nice bonus, going home with clean clothes; we utilized the washer and dryer. The condo provides more than you expect. We had a prefect baby moon, thank you!
