This is a true gem in Kihei! The condo offered great views of both the gardens and the ocean. I really appreciated all of the available amenities, such as two pools and bbq areas, and the in-condo washer and dryer. The building is situated so that the tradewinds blow through, keeping the condo nice and cool. The Hawaiian decorations throughout the condo were tasteful and made it feel extra comfortable. I also really appreciated the Tommy Bahama chairs and water equipment available. I look forward to my return visit to this excellent condo very soon.

Nice property close to everything in South Maui. Included beach towel, umbrella, chair and boogie board which was AWESOME! Would definitely book again.
October 2024
I was looking for a place that was in South Kihei near the beach that was clean and a good price since I pretty much just wanted to eat dinner and sleep there. This condo definitely delivered that and Berney was very helpful with check in and a late check out.

The condo was clean and very comfortable.
The kitchen was well stocked and met our needs.
The balcony was our go to in the evening.
You could see the stars and listen to the ocean as you relaxed. I highly recommend this condo, it was also walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. If we are in the area again I wouldn't hesitate staying here.

Nice, clean, everything we needed for the beach.
Got to snorkel, and hang out with 2 sea turtles at the beach right across the street!
Restaurants and stores within walking distance.
Beautiful grounds, older building with louver windows. Nicely remodeled with ac unit in livingroom. It was really hot while we were there, so we moved the bed into the front room to be near the ac, closed the bedroom door, and then we couldn't hear the rooster crowing out back. It was a nice, safe, comfortable place to stay. Got good sleep so we could go have fun! We were there for a week. Check out the Kihei Caffe for breakfast!

Pros: across from beach, good pre stay communication with host. There was a view of the sunset.
Cons: place smaller than pictures (especially living room)showed. The mirror in picture makes it look bigger. The key code was old and difficult to use. It took us half an hour to secure the key when we left. The host was not there for checkout issues. The place was funkier than we thought. The patio is very small and best for one person to look at the view of ocean. In a busy part of Kihei. The bed was soft after 2 nights. The air flow was less than optimal as the living room and window wind did not directly get to bedroom. The host requested that we not use the AC, in the "Guidebook" which seemed odd with the airflow issues.

The condo is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, many restaurants and shopping. The unit itself was clean and comfortable and nicely furnished. From the lanai you have a nice view of the ocean and is great for morning breakfast and coffee and listening to all the birds. I highly recommend this location for your stay at Kihei Maui.

The VRBO condo was perfect for my 5-0 celebration. Whales, beach time, sunsets, and shopping, and enjoying all the beauty Maui has to offer. Would love to stay at this condo again! It was perfect, Berney was so attentive and so easy to work with. Mahalo!

The unit is incredible, with a beautiful view of the water and some incredible sunsets. We stayed nice and cool, the breeze through was so nice we didn't even need the AC! The neighbors are so kind and the property is beautiful. Walking to the beach was a breeze, and the location couldn't be better. Berney is the best host and goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have a great experience. The kitchen had everything we needed! We are so impressed, and wouldn't hesistate to return. Mahalo for everything, Berney!

Bernie was a most wonderful host and very responsive. The condo: Very clean and well equipped to have fun on the beach. We have all heard “Location, location, location”… well this is it. You are right in the center of beaches, food and shops all within walking distance. Couldn’t complain about the view from the Lenai either!
***Bernie (host) is the best!***

Beautiful property and great location. View from the Lanai was lovely. Directly across from beaches and snorkeling. Lots of good restaurants in walking distance. All the beach supplies you could want were available. The owner was very responsive and helpful.
Only downside for us was no a/c in the bedroom, though most days the breeze thru the unit was sufficient and there was a fan. Bed could use an upgrade. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would return.

The apartment is 5 mins from Kamaole Beach 2 and you have a lovely view of the sea across the road from the apartment complex. Berney was such a helpful host and communication was excellent. The apartment is spacious and clean with everything you need including beach chairs parasol boogie board tennis rackets snorkelling gear.
I would 100% recommend. We do not drive and restaurants/shops are all within walking distance. Such a beautiful island. If you want nightlife (bars/discos) then go to Oahu which is only 30 mins away by plane..

We had a great stay in this condo for about 8 days and it exceeded all of our needs. The location can’t be beat if you enjoy walking along S. Kihei Dr, the quick access to Kamaole beaches 1-3 as well as further south to the beaches in Wailea. The unit is well stocked, clean, and the beach chairs/umbrella made our adventures complete. The two pools are lovely, parking and check-in was a breeze. We hope to be back!

Location was very well situated to 3 beaches within walking distance, close to a few good restaurants and a quick drive to anything else you can need like a few grocery options. Berney has stocked the rents with a bunch of different beach gear that help you save some money on rentals such as snorkels, chairs, body boards and more. We loved having breakfast each morning looking out to the ocean from the patio. It was a perfect vacation at a perfect location.

We had a perfect trip. The spot Berney provides is exactly what we wanted. Close to food and shops, clean, safe and truly steps away from the beach. We had an incredible experience and can’t wait to come back here. Berney himself was easy to reach and always lovely to deal with. Mahalo!!!!!!

We really enjoyed staying in the condo. It was fully stocked with everything you needed for a perfect beach vacation. We rented a car and went out every day, so didn't spend much time at the condo or on the property, but the view from the lanai was great for coffee. There were two community pools that seemed nice, and a BBQ area. Condo is right across from the beach, which was convenient and walking distance from food and shops. Would stay here again on our next trip to Maui!

Great location, easy access to beach, pool, pickle ball courts, restaurants and shops. Ocean view from lanai. Living area is comfortable and well appointed.
New washer and dryer!!
The kitchen needs new drinking glasses, measuring cups, cookie sheet, containers with lids that fit, different sizes of casserole dishes, teapot. Dry goods, spices etc left behind need to be checked for expiration. Light above stove burned out.
The linens are tired. Only one set of sheets in condo.
Some towels are stained. The pillows need to be replaced.
A nice place to stay, with a few improvements.

Mahalo Berney! Great location, great condo, best stocked kitchen ever at a rental! Air conditioning in living room and fan in bedroom. Backpack Tommy Bahama beach chairs, small cooler to pack lunch and beverages & umbrella for the beach. Boogie boards, tennis racquets, beach towels - you name it! Lacked nothing in this unit for a 2 week stay including a newer washer and dryer. We love the Akahi and all of its amenities including the pools, grills and tennis/pickle ball courts. Amazing ocean view from the lanai for morning coffee or evening wine! Kam 2 right across the street and numerous restaurants within easy walk. We had a rental car but you don’t really need one at this location. This is our 3rd stay in the Akahi complex and the best unit to date. We will definitely return!

Thank you Berney for allowing us to stay at your lovely condo during our first trip to the island of Maui. We have been to most of the islands and must say that Maui is hands down the best! The location was perfect- clean and comfortable, super quiet, everything we could ask for. Footsteps away from the beach, local shops and dining within close walking distance. The facility amenities were amazing-- PICKLEBALL COURT on site, we played every morning before starting our day! Thanks Berney so much for all of the activity recommendations and dining suggestions, you are wonderful host and we hope that you will allow us to back into your condo when we visit again very soon.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and we had most everything we needed. We especially loved all the beach supplies provided. It’s located in a great area. The decor is outdated, but we don’t care. It is listed as having AC, and the AC will get the living room area cool. It will not get the bedroom cool at all. Fortunately there is a wonderful cross breeze that will keep you comfortable most of the time. Lots of restaurants and shops close by. It’s walkable to the beach. The water was super great at the Kamaole 2 beach, but the beach was nice. There are a ton of great beaches close by. Host is super responsive and a nice guy to add. Definitely would recommend this place.

Thank You so much! 🤙🏝❤️

We don't travel much. We had a few more glitches than expected on the first day. Owner was great. Property manager was a rude tyrant. After the first day, all went well. Wished we knew to stay two weeks instead of one. Perfect trip.

Everything about this stay was exceptional.
Lots of restaurants close enough to walk to. The beach is right across the street. The beach is one of the best beaches we have ever been on, the sunsets were unbelievable.
The condo is very nice and Berney was very easy to get in touch with.
This was a fantastic Hawaiian adventure.

We had such a great experience at Bernie’s place! He was so accommodating and gave us the best recommendations for dinner/beaches/sunsets. The location is great within walking distance to multiple shops beaches and restaurants. You can see the ocean right from the patio (the sunset is outstanding)! The place came equipped with beach chairs, towels, cooler, and a fully stocked kitchen! It does get a little hot at night without AC but the fans make it doable. Would definitely stay here again :)

This is a comfortable condo with a nice view of the Haleakalia, the Pacific, Kaho'olawe, and whales. Breakfasted every morning on the lanai, watched a view movies with DVD, boogie boarded with the boards left in the closet. The bed is comfortable and ventilation was great to the point that we didn't need to use the air conditioner during our 3 week stay. The location with respect to the beach is as good as it gets for a property on the east side of S. Kihei Rd. Its just behind Fred's Restaurant and within easy walking distance to coffee, food, and groceries.

wonderful to watch sunset from lanai. Well stocked and furnished just right. the only negative would be the couch needs to be replaced., holes in the cushion and and not veryh comfortable to lay on. we would stay there again. Owner was very responsive.

For a couple staying in the center of Kihei across from Kam2 this is absolutely 5 star experience. Lots of included beach gear, kitchen gear, books, etc.
The actual location of the place in the complex is ideal. It was a 5 minute walk away from beach(closer than we have been to beach at all inclusive resorts). It is on 4th floor and far enough away from elevator that noise of surrounding neighborhood is minimized.
Only real negative part for us was the bed. While comfortable to lie on there is something very squeeky about the bed apparatus that was very disruptive whenever me or my wife turned over in bed which did seem to negatively affect our sleep quite a bit.
Everything else was great. Highly recommend. Would go back or recommend to friends.

This stay was awesome beyond words. The condo is in top shape, it’s clean, organized and packed with everything you need to have a great stay. This includes things like umbrellas, beach mats, beach toys, chairs, boards, snorkeling gear, all kitchen supplies imaginable, tv, high speed Internet, free parking and so much more. The condo complex is great. It has a pool, tennis court and security patrolling all night (Not that it is needed anyway, Maui is very safe)
The location of the condo couldn’t be better, it’s in the center of everything. It’s in Kihei which is perfectly located between Kaanapali and Wailea. There are multiple great beaches within walking distance (3-10 minutes walks) and tons of restaurants, shops and Cafes.
The view from the condo is breathtaking and the breeze from the balcony is amazing, we didn’t need to use the AC at all even in August. The weather is always great.
Berney (The host) is a great host and as outlined above he has thought about every little detail to make our stay more comfortable.
Something to reiterate again is the cleanliness of the condo, I have never stayed at a hotel or any other place that was clean as this. This for me is the most important thing and it made me feel at home in Maui. Look no further if you are planning to stay in Maui.

Our condo was very clean, but could use a new couch and updated cabinets. The ocean view was ok, the other tenants were very friendly, and the complex was really quiet at night. We really enjoyed being in a great location to explore the island! Plenty of great food and shopping within walking distance.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Berney's condo for a week! It was perfect for what we needed. The place was very clean and had everything including beach gear which was so helpful! We cooked some nights and ate out on the lanai overlooking Kamaole Beach Park 2. This beach is right outside of the condo complex! The breeze at night inside the condo was lovely. Kihei itself doesn't have a town center, it's more of a spread out town, but Berney's condo was in one of the main hubs. Short drive to Wailea town as well. We used the pools in the condo as well and did some night swimming! All in all, it was a wonderful trip and having Berney's as our home base was so comfortable and enjoyable.

Bernie’s rental was just what we hoped for. It is just across the street from a great beach, a five minute walk. It is very close to shops and eateries but it is surprisingly quiet. It is also close to Wailea and many other beaches. The apartment is nicely furnished, comfortable and affordable. Bernie was very helpful prior to our arrival and during our stay. He kept us informed regarding travel restrictions and requirements. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Location location location! This property is right across a snorkeling beach! First day we swam with turtles! The apartment is on the 4th floor with elevators and has beautiful views of the ocean! The condo is well equipped and we were lacking nothing. The owner really thought of everything! He was also available throughout for questions and ideas! We would love to come back one day!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Berneys condo. The condo itself is great, the property grounds are beautiful, and the location to the beach and some great restaurants/shops can’t be beat! On top of all that Berney was extremely communicative and gave us some great recommendations on what to do in the area that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. Hopefully we can come back again one day!
