About South Maui

You can't get closer to the water. The Kealia Resort offers the ideal location on Maui. Located on Sugar Beach, one of Maui's longest beaches, you will find the Kealia Resort, on the North side of Kihei. This dry and sunny side of the island enjoys nearly 360 days a year of warm, sunny weather.

The Kealia Resort is convenient! Only a 15 minute drive from the airport, easy access to Lahaina and Wailea. The resorts of North Kihei (Kealia, Sugar Beach, etc) are quieter and less traffic congested than the hustle and bustle of South Kihei or Ka'anapail. Stay out of the tourist traps!

The South side of Maui, where the Kealia Resort is located, is home to numerous beach parks and some of the world's finest beaches. Maui continues to win travel awards as a top-rated island destination - because of these sparkling beaches.

The Kealia Resort is located on a beautiful 6 Mile Stretch Of Sandy Beach – perfect for an invigorating morning walk, or leisurely day of beachcombing. Inland from the beach and immediately adjacent is the Kealia Wildlife Refuge. A huge open space dedicated to preserving inland and shoreline bird habitats.

Maalaea Harbor is only 7-8 minutes to the west. This quaint harbor village is home to the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, along with roughly two dozen shops and some of Maui's finest restaurants.

You'll find many exciting ocean activities departing from the village harbor, including snorkeling trips, scuba diving, sunset and dinner cruises, sport fishing, and whale watching (Dec-May). Of course, you can watch the whales from the lanai of your own beachfront vacation rental if you so choose!

Bustling Kihei town is just to the south. Shops, restaurants, and a few larger supermarkets (Safeway, Star Market and Foodland) are only five minutes away.

Another 10 minutes and you've reached the exclusive Wailea Resort, boasting some of the island's most expensive resort hotels and private estates. Wailea is home to popular annual events such as the Wailea Film Festival, and the Senior Skins Game. Wailea features 4 championship 18 hole golf courses, plus more exceptional shopping and fine dining. Registration Number: 380130180034, GE-020-338-6880-01, TA-020-338-6880-01

Close to beach very clean property and centrally located

We had a great 8 day stay in the condo. It is right on the beach with great sunset views. Close to Kihei and Wailea where there are lots of great restaurants and additional beaches to check out. Very close to Maalea where the excursion boats leave from (because Lahaina harbor was closed due to the fire). Check in was easy. Condo was clean and well appointed. Really appreciate the beach towels, chairs, umbrella and coolers. Underground parking for our rental, nice pool area and outdoor chairs. Really enjoyed breakfast on the balcony with the view. Would recommend a dish drying rack and trash can for the bedroom. Wonderful stay-Mahalo!

Our stay here could not have been better. The unit has wonderful views, is well-appointed, and was the perfect size for us. Working with David was great as well! Driving is required to the busier parts of Kihei and Wailea, but doesn’t take long. Would highly recommend staying here!

Loved the location at the end of the condos and away from the town. Comfortable and quiet. Will stay here again if we come back to Maui.

David made it easy! Thorough instructions before I arrived, he offered restaurant suggestions and a few things to do while we visited Maui. The condo itself was clean and the view from the lanai was perfect! Direct access to the beach from the property was also great.

Very clean! Cute and just the right size. David was very helpful and made everything easy for our stay! Maui was beautiful!

You cannot beat the location of this property! Every morning watching the sunrise while walking down the beach or doing some yoga in the sand was absolutely breathtaking. The break one needs from reality and work is at this property. Since we are vegan, finding food can be hit or miss, but having the ability to make all our meals and eat them on the lanai or on the beach front was perfect. Our only downfall, and this is even silly to say, was the crashing of the waves was so loud, it sounded like cars racing by on the 101 and woke us up quite a bit. But honestly, worth the wake up, because every time we woke up we saw the moon glimmering off the ocean waves and so many stars! David, the host, was so responsive and the on-site manager, sherry, was so kind and helpful. We’ll definitely be back and want to stay here again!

Everything was absolutely perfect for the 9 days we stayed in Kihei! David’s property was exactly what we were looking for when we done our search of somewhere special to stay for our honeymoon! The view from the balcony was the sweetest! It’s perfect for early morning coffee and to catch a perfect sunset every evening! You are right on the beach! Literally just a few steps! We loved that feature! David’s condo is exactly what the site states! We had everything we needed for the trip! After exploring the entire island for our stay, we recommend to anyone to stay in Kihei! It’s a really good middle location for many things! The condo was very clean upon arrival. The bed was as comfy as other reviews stated. There are 2 air conditioners. One in the living area and one in the bed room. For me I thought having an air conditioner was a deal breaker if a unit did not have one. We ended up turning the air conditioner on one time the day we arrived in the living area. Being from Mississippi we have to have our air because it’s miserably hot at times. But the wind breeze is so nice and keeps everything at a comfortable temp that you really don’t need the air conditioner as much as you think! We did use the air conditioner in our room at night. (You certainly could make it without it). David is very kind and accommodating to all needs. He is very very prompt to respond if you reach out to him for anything! We were able to snorkel right on our beach and saw several BIG sea turtles right at our condo!! That could of been one of the happiest memories for us! We didn’t expect to see any! One probably weighed 300-400 pounds! It was incredible! We thought for sure we would have to pay for an excursion to see exactly what we saw at our place! So I recommend trying snorkeling there before you pay for anything! I highly recommend to stay with David! You will not be disappointed!

This was our second time staying at the Kealia Resort and our first time at this condo. We loved it and had a great time. The Cali King bed was so comfortable, and so was the couch to lounge on. The condo is fully equipped with beachy needs such as a beach umbrella, (3) Beach chairs, plenty of beach towels. The TV is equipped with Amazon Prime, Roku ect. The grounds are very well kept and the pool was drained and filled while we were there. Very close to restaurants and downtown Kihei. There is a tiny restaurant right next door called Dina's, excellent sandwichs. Pack a few in the cooler the condo provides and spent endless days out on Sugar Beach. Feel confident when you book here. Aloha !

Good location . Close to all shops and restaurants .Nice and clean . Full Kitchen and amenities. Good for single family . Bring the eyes mask if you’re not an early morning person. The slide door and screen door need to fix it or make it easy to close because it is off the rail when you try to close it all the time. We will stay with David condo again.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at David's condo. We were there for 9 days and had everything we needed. Extra towels, washer/dryer, beach gear, cooler, well stocked kitchen. The views are beautiful and the condo was very clean. The beach out front was perfect and very sandy (not rocky like many of the beaches in Maui). The location is a bit farther from downtown Kihei and restaurants (10 min. Drive), but we didnt mind at all. All around a beautiful vacation.

This condo was exactly as described. The ocean was very calm, good for SUPs and swimming but not so much for surfing. It is in a more remote part of the island, which we liked, with not a lot of noise or people. We loved it.

We were so happy we chose this property for our Maui vacation. The location was perfect, right on the water. Kihei area is a really nice part of the Island, very low key, good restaurants and shopping. The staff was great. The condo had everything we needed, even beach stuff! Will definitely return someday!

The condo was very clean, and was decorated in a beautiful Hawaiian decor. It had everything you would need to cook a meal, sit on the beach or relax on the lanai. Pool and beach were as pictured, right out the door from the condo. Amazing view. David was easy to contact. His recommendations for restaurants were excellent and he checked in mid week to see if we needed anything etc. Would stay here again!!! Feel fortunate to have found this beautiful condo. Mahalo David

Very much enjoyed our stay in David’s beautiful condo. It felt so homey right away. Totally missed writing up a little message in your guest book, so I will do it here. We had everything we needed at our finger tips. From a well equipped kitchen to a beautiful balcony that we relaxed on after a fun day exploring or going to the beach. Lovely walks along the beach in the morning, going to the bakery which was about ten minutes away for coffee and a goodie. Thank you David, you were a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be heading back that way.

This is a truly wonderful place to stay. The condo itself is comfortable, tastefully decorated, fully equipped and well stocked with odds and ends. Perfect for a couple. The complex is impeccably maintained. It is not a grand resort, but the pool and grounds are lovely. The location? On (and I mean ON) a beautiful beach. I have no idea why Sugar Beach fails to make the short list of Maui's best beaches. Finally, David is a truly gracious host whose kindness, generosity and spirit of aloha made our stay here very special. Mahalo, David!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Clean, convenient, right on the beach, and excellent communication with my host! I will definitely look for this property first when traveling to Maui in the future!

The ocean view when you walk in smack’s you in the face! The photos don’t do it justice! The quiet beach is great and pretty calm. Walking distance to Sugar Beach bake shop and a small farmer’s market. Kitchen worked out great to David was quick w responses. Will stay again!

We loved David’s property. Beautiful view of the beach, all the amenities (beach chairs, umbrellas, tp, ptowels. Laundry detergent, most spices, blender, etc.) there were even a few welcome gifts. He was incredibly communicative. Perfect central location to tour all of Maui. If we return, we’d absolutely rent here again.
