The Kihei Akahi is a lovely property and close to the beach and other amenities. The condo was well equipped and comfortable for the two of us.

Everything you could need & the best location!The only issue we had was night noise from the parking lot & path at the side of our ground level suite. People arriving & leaving at all hours of the night for flights. Garbage truck regularly comes in the middle of the night which is a bit startling.

My first time at this lovely studio condo and I will stay here again. The place has great appliances and is a perfect size for us. The property is beautiful and the pools had warm water. Also it is a great location!

We had a lovely stay at Lani's - communication was clear and everything was as expected (I mistakenly thought it was a 1br and not a studio and had issues when first trying to submit payment but those are both issues with VRBO). The unit was clean, main bed comfortable, ac/ceiling fan good for cooling down the unit. The balcony was great for breakfast - you could smell the fragrant plumeria just sitting there. A couple run ins with a gecko and some bugs but that's to be expected in a tropical climate. Best to keep all food in the fridge! Well stocked with beach chairs/umbrellas/towels, but might be good to bring your own shampoo/conditioner if staying for an extended period. The beaches across the street were great -- very soft sand and seemed calmer in the mornings for snorkeling while we were there (with turtles!).

This property is right across from Kam 2 which is great for playing in the water and snorkeling at both ends. The property is well kept up and it is a pleasure to stay there. The small condo I rented was perfect for one or two people. I’ve rented the same condo 3 times and I love it. It isn’t fancy, but has everything you need!

This studio has all the equipment you’ll need for your stay. The positives-close to kam 2, close to heated pool, close to amenities, ac nice and cool, and very affordable for the area. Slept well in the bed and has a full kitchen which is nice for a studio.

We were not disappointed with our stay! Very convenient location, close to several restaurants. Everything was exactly as described., Loved that it was only a 3 minute walk to the beach! No, it wasn’t a fancy place, but it was very comfortable, and very sufficient for our needs. The only thing that would have made it better, is if the washer and dryer would have been in working order. (Lani was very gracious and called someone, but it couldn’t be repaired while we were there.) We highly recommend this budget unit for a vacation in paradise!

Love this location and the owner was easy to communicate with. This property would be perfect for a couple. Had all the outdoor chairs and umbrellas a person could need. The pullout couch is updated and comfy to sleep on. I would stay here again.
Sarah M.

Cute little one bedroom with the option of the couch pullout to fit 2 more guests. Nice bathroom with the shower/ toilet separated from the sink/mirror. Perfect for multiple people getting ready. The kitchen was nice but with food places within walkable distance, the fridge mostly served as storage for our yummy left overs and the freezer to keep our drinks cold! In unit washer/dryer was great for when packing up worn beach clothes for the flight back. Check in was easy. Just follow the emailed instructions and you won’t have a problem. Being able to walk from our front door to the beach in a matter of minutes was a great way to catch every sunset! Had a great time in this little getaway spot:-)

Lani is amazing to deal with. Great communication, easy check-in, the condo had everything I needed (except I couldn’t locate the hair dryer).
The screen door is off its track, but no big deal, just letting Lani know! LOVED my stay and will be back ASAP!

My husband and I thought this unit as perfect for the two of us! It had all we needed. Came with a few extras that came in handy too. The grounds were very lovely and the staff on site were friendly and courteous and helpful with Aloha - a smile that started our day. We will be staying here again when we return for sure - location was great for night time entertainment, food, and wonderful walks on the beach.

This property is on beautifully maintained grounds with two swimming pools, and walking distance to the beach and many restaurants and stores. I highly recommend this studio apartment, which was very comfortable for the two of us.
Both the host and the on island connection were very supportive the entire trip.

Only negative we experienced was that one of the pillow cases was blood stained (and maybe just went unnoticed).
Do yourself a favor and book this place!

I can’t say enough good things about this property owner or her condo. Lani is so prompt in responding to my emails and so good to do business with. Her condo is perfect for our needs. We all know there are bigger, newer, and more expensive condos out there if you want. In our case we have to be conservative and for that Lani’s condo is perfect. It has a great location, it is clean and functional and is close to the beach. What more can you ask? It’s the best value out there! We have already booked for next year and can’t wait to go back!

This is our second time staying here and we loved it again. Everything is clean and organized and there was even a new couch. It’s an easy process to check in and all your beach needs are provided. You can’t beat the location. You’re a two minute walk from the beach and there are lots of great restaurants near by. This was also a good location if you like to snorkel. Cannot recommend this place enough.

We loved staying here! It was perfect for the two of us on our anniversary trip. Very short walk across the street to the beach, central location for other areas of the island. The condo had everything we needed. We loved that beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie boards, and coolers were available for use. Used them daily. Also convenient to have washer and dryer in unit. Very reasonable price for a nice stay, and we will stay here again if we return to visit Maui. :)

We enjoyed our stay. The location and amenities were excellent, it was nice to have coolers, beach chairs, etc. all available to use. The air conditioning worked well and was quiet, and having a washer and dryer to use was a great help. We hope to return to Maui and would stay here again if it’s available. It was perfect for us.

The property was excellent, well maintained, clean and the location was perfect. Many good restaurants were within walking distance and to be located literally across the street from the beach made our stay special.

Nice very tiny space. Basic accomodations met, but definitely lacking finer touches. Central fan in-op, kitchen sink so loose that it almost came off, bathroom inl need of serious TLC...paint, loose toilet seat and the shower rod rusting away. The furnishings work, but the couch smelled... Way old.
All said though, you get what you pay for, and the location was great.

From the moment we arrived this studio became "our place". We walked each night across the street (a super easy walk) and watched the sunset. We spent 12 days here and have zero complaints! Boogie boards, coolers beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels - ready and waiting. Washer, dryer, kitchen - all awesome. This is not a perfect, brand new, condo. It is a perfectly clean, slightly loved condo. The bed is comfortable, the linens are clean and ready, the place smells good. Don't miss your chance to stay!

My wife and I had a great time staying at Leilani's condo. It was clean, was in a fantastic location, and it was by far the best value on the island we could find. Parts of the condo were a bit dated, but we didn't come to Hawaii to stare at the inside of a condo. We especially appreciated the beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, and towels) and the easy access to the beach (<5min walk). I would certainly stay here again.
Marisela R.

We found the condo to be everything we needed for a sunny, relaxing getaway for spring break! Lani is easy to communicate with and very accommodating. All the special touches in the condo made our stay better than we expected. Kihei is truly paradise for us and Lani’s condo has made it possible for us to enjoy it! Thank you Lani, we will definitely be back!

Lovely property, attentive owner and cleaning company.
As others have shared, the space is a studio on the first floor. The space and accommodations are all on point!
Assigned parking space, pool and tennis court nearby unit.
The beach is directly across the street and the area is a perfect location.
I appreciate the owner for making this accommodation affordable, safe and clean. I would definitely stay here again.
If this space is available don't hesitate to book.

Really awesome location, phenomenal pricing. Within walking distance of restaurants, food trucks, beach, ice cream. Property advertised as equipped with AC and washing machine/dryer- neither worked and the tub didn't drain. Very little urgency from the Property manager to fix the issues (most of which they already knew about but hadn't repaired yet).
Lots of clean linens, boogie boards, beach chairs, and coolers which made our stay even more convenient. Overall I'd stay here again but I'd want to know the problems had been fixed.

February 2022
Great location on the ground floor protected from the sun for most of the day so we never turned on the AC. It is right ibn front of Kamole Beach park 2 which enabled us to walk along the beach all the way to Wailea 3.5 miles away! The room had everything we needed to cook and enjoy the beach. It was clean and quiet.

The stay here was great. The place is stocked with beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards - saving you the hassle of renting. Being located right across the beach makes this an ideal place to stay.
Check in process could have been a bit smoother, as the unit number was not listed in any of the correspondences. However, the property manager was very responsive and helped clear up the confusion before it became an inconvenience.
All in all, a lovely place to stay.

I really enjoyed my stay here at Lani's place. The location was so close to everything! The unit was clean and quiet with everything that one needed! Even beach chairs, boogie boards and coolers! The place certainly exceeded my expectations. Lani was always so quick to respond to my questions and inquiries. Thank you for the great stay! I am looking forward to my next stay here again!

We rented two units at the Akahi. A two bedroom and this bachelor.
Kihei Akahi was perfect for our family group.
This smaller unit was great for sleeping and borrowing dishes for Christmas Dinner.
Lots of beach stuff (chairs, coolers, boogie boards mats, etc.) Being on the ground floor the lanai was not very private but everyone that walked by was friendly.
This unit is well worth the money. I would rent it again.
Thank you

The condo is a ground-floor studio apartment on the corner of the building so you get pretty good air circulation. I don't think that it would be big enough for more than two people yet for a couple it was great. The condo is located at Kihei Akahi which is a property that is very well looked after and the staff is very helpful and nice. We felt safe, and thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Hawaii, and Lani, the owner is exceptional in her due care of her guests. The unit has everything you can possibly need and more, I mean everything, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, loads of beach towels, etc. We used the washer and dryer in the unit every other day and found it very useful so you don't need to bring a suitcase full of clothes that you will not use (like us) and find out that you use the same comfy outfits day in and day out.
The affordability of this clean and well-appointed studio apartment gave us the opportunity to do other things since we did not break our budget on the accommodations alone. It is not the Ritz-Carlton, it is a humble place yet very homey and welcoming; It felt as though I was visiting a beloved Auntie's home.
I don't think that anyone can find a better deal anywhere. It is exceptional in what you get for your money. There are two pools and a tennis court right on the property and it is a very quiet complex which surprised me since there are lots of units spread over three different buildings. We fell asleep to the sound of the ocean at night; the ocean is across the street so that tells you the complex is quiet. In speaking of the ocean, the beach is fabulous! Fine sands and no algae to deal with in between your toes, the beach is also very clean.
I hope that you will have as much fun as we had if you decide to rent Lani's place. This is definitely one of the best decisions I ever made.

We had a wonderful experience in this small apartment.
Is ideal for a couple or someone with a small child.
The place is located in a very safe complex with swimming pool, tennis and across the beach. You can't ask for a better location.
Right next door you have restaurants, shops and you are on the main street with all the amenities.
The place was clean when we arrived and you have everything you need from towels to beach chairs and even a hat and a crib.
You have all you need to cook small meals, is a small place, so we at out all the time and just had breakfast, but you only need to bring you clothes and you are all set.
I honestly don't think you need a car in this location right across the beach, but you maybe want to rent a small car to go to other places.
The apartment is decorated Hawaiian style and is very cozy.
I am not sure if you can bring children there since it's small, but for a couple with a baby is fabulous. They do have a sofa bed in case you want to bring children.
We had a wonderful stay in Maui, great place and if we can we will definitely be coming back to this apartment.
The apartments have a night guard, are covid safe, they check in you are OK and they have an assigned parking spot.
We felt safe all the time, and people are very quiet inside the courts and the pool.
We really liked the restaurants next door. We were able to meet friends and just walk there for lunches and drinks.
We rated a 5 star place, is wonderful for a vacation. The owner has thought about even the small details like books for the beach, beach towels, umbrella, lotions etc. Since we went without children we never used most of the stuff but if you come with a child all this will be handy, they are located underneath the bed.
Definitely is a 5 star VRBO!

Above all else, the host was so kind and attentive and helped us when we had an emergency. We feel so grateful for the generosity and display of Aloha. We couldn’t have asked more and we highly recommend staying here! Mahalo

This place was perfect for me and my partner. Great value and the location was perfect for getting around to other parts of the island, or just walking across the street to the beach. Highly recommend using the beach chairs provided since it was quite windy when we were at the beach and the beach towels wouldn’t stay put. The unit has everything you might need, from chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, even a cooler and ice pack. We will definitely be booking again when we come back.

Arrival was easy and checking in was easy. The owner was easy to get ahold of for any questions. Only problem I had was the cold faucet to the shower stopped working but they fixed it in a timely manner so it was fine. Location is awesome right next to a couple of restaurants and the beach is less about a short block away.

I ended up not using all there was to offer like the beach chairs and boogy boards. Had everything I needed. Great location in the heart of Kihei and right across the street from the the beach. The price was right for the accommodations and space. I contacted the local manager and was able to check in early. Everything was smooth sailing.
