This was my first VRBO experience and we hit the jackpot with this place. Awesome location; super clean and fully FULLY equipped with everything you could need. We were in Maui for 9 days and cooked breakfast each morning and barbecued on 3 nights. Everything we could possible need was there. The condo is newly renovated and done very well. Beautiful view … we had our coffee each morning on the balcony. Late afternoon and early morning walks on the beautiful beach nearby were amazing. I’d stay here again and again and again. It was perfect for 2 people but looks alike it could accommodate at least 4. Very VERY happy with our choice to stay here. Thank you Stephen for making your place so wonderful!!!

Good location and very well appointed, clean, quiet, and up to date condo. Great for a first visit to Maui.
Check in/out was very easy.
Only small negative would be the pool, very busy while we were there but that can be expected during the hot summer.

This was a nice property right in town. It is very close to the beach, I wouldn’t consider beachfront. You can’t hear the water or easily see the waves from the balcony. It is a simple walk to the beach though which was nice. Overall well stocked condo with things needed for the beach which was appreciated.

Beach access is nice, Kihei has a little bit of everything, it was perfect for what I was looking for.

This condo is in the best location. Pool and hot tub are great. We used the bbqs plenty. You do hear road noise but not a problem for us. The only "negative" would be that your lanai is not in the sun at all throughout the day! We would stay here again! It was nice to use the beach towels, chairs and cooler. Thanks Stephen!

Location in north Kihei gave us convenient access to all the local facilities, and friends and relatives with whom we went to spend Thanksgiving. We really like the condo's layout compared to others we've stayed at in Kihei. We specifically liked having a shower rather than a bathtub. Our only (slightly) negative comment is that the unit is getting a little down in the dumps and could use a little maintenance: kitchen cabinet facings are starting to peel off, and a few spots need some spackle and paint touchup. And if you ever get to replacing the toilet, we strongly suggest a modern "comfort" height unit.

Great condo in good location in Kihei. No issues, other than the bed could be a bit bigger. Stephen was wonderful to work with, and the unit is all it's cracked up to be.

Overall, this is a good place to stay, but we were somewhat disappointed, considering its very positive reviews. The gardens, pool, and spa are clean and well-maintained, and the view from the lanai is nice; however, the beach is quite a distance away from the unit, and nearby road noise tends to drown out the surf. The unit is in need of some maintenance and a deep clean, as it had damaged lanai screens, burnt-out light bulbs, dirty wall mirrors, over-use of air freshener, and an inoperable a/c unit thermostat control (always cold, even when turned to "warm", so it had to either be turned on or off). The couch bed is fairly uncomfortable for adults and had crumbs under the cushions and on the sheets. Although the unit has plenty of kitchenware and a dishwasher, simple additions such as coffee filters would be helpful. Also, the dryers in the laundry room on our floor did not work, which was inconvenient as departure instructions state that beach towels should be washed prior to check-out! In spite of these issues, we had a great time during our two-day stay at this condo, especially since it is very convenient to Kihei groceries, shops, and restaurants, and to Makena's Big Beach and La Perouse Bay (our favorites!).

My stay at Kauhale Makai was a dream. Very peaceful and convenient to everywhere. I will stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay in this condo. It is big enough for two people and provided all the amenities that we needed. It was clean and well maintained. The view of the ocean and pool area are just as the photos show them to be. The balcony provided a comfortable location for enjoying our morning coffee. However, there is no privacy while sitting on the balcony, due to the proximity of the balconies of the adjacent complex. The complex grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. The beach was nice...not large and we enjoyed walking it. The air conditioning worked well when we needed it during the late afternoon and night. The bed was a little too firm for our liking. There were extra pillows, sheets and blankets if needed. The TV is high quality and worked well once we figured out how to control it (directions in the guest information book). We did not turn on the TV in the bedroom. Wi-fi worked very well. The lighting in the bath room sink area was a little low for our liking, but not too bad. The kitchen cabinet doors and drawers are starting to show their age and could use an upgrade. Overall...the condo was a good choice for our first visit to Kihei. Thank you Stephen for sharing it with us.
