Excellent property and a wonderful stay! Laurie was incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had and made everything so easy from start to finish. The condo was very well stocked with extra towels, sheets, and even beach equipment, which was such a nice bonus.This was honestly one of the easiest check-in and check-out experiences we’ve ever had with a VRBO. We arrived late and after dealing with several detours from recent flooding, Laurie’s directions were spot on and extremely helpful. We had no trouble finding the property.The office staff was beyond welcoming, and the complex itself was full of friendly people. The location was perfect — close to great beaches, restaurants, and also perfect for relaxing by the pool. We would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our week at Kauhale Makai! The unit itself was exactly as described and photographed in the VRBO listing. Several reviews mentioned a well-stocked kitchen - for those who like to know details, that included a drip coffee maker, a water filter, grilling tools for the community grills, tupperwares, ice trays in the freezer, dish soap, and some oil/vinegar/shoyu/spices leftover from past guests. There was also plenty of toilet paper and extra linens for bath and bed, and the TV is a smart TV that can connect to your apps.The furnishings are very classy and in excellent condition. That really made us feel at home while sitting around the living areas during our lazy holiday. The grounds at Kauhale Makai are beautiful with a large lawn leading to the beach, two pools and a hot tub. Over Christmas it was lively (in a fun, non-disruptive way) among the guests and owners! The beach was never crowded and the water was very clear and calm. We found the surrounding neighborhood challenging to walk in as there aren't pedestrian-friendly sidewalks in the surrounding blocks or along the route to the grocery store and shopping/restaurant areas. Hawai'i is very car-centric but given that the area is full of beachside condos I was a little surprised at the pedestrian inaccessibility.We would absolutely book Laurie's unit at Kauhale Makai again, and have already recommended it to friends! Mahalo nui loa for a lovely vacation!

This was a very quiet condo with a nice view in a relaxing part of Kihei. Was nice to be able to walk to the beach.

The unit was really nice, we didn't need anything as it was well stocked with shampoo, soap, etc. Gorgeous view.
The unit was hard to find as there are two 6 story buildings. I would suggest that information about which building (The Plumeria) be added to the VRBO information. The office was not easy to find either. It's actually located on the south side of the building but no signs to the office. We had more difficulty because we didn't arrive until 11:00 pm.
The unit is in a perfect location with a lot of great restaurants nearby. We would definitely recommend this particular VRBO.

Great view of the West Maui Mountains and the pool and putting green. Close to shopping, food trucks and restaurants. Walkable beach 100+ yards away with tennis and pickleball courts right next door. Windy in the PM, but the BBQ grills work despite that and it's a good way to meet new people. Minor problem with the TV was handled right away. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

This beautiful condo was the perfect introduction to Maui. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning and walking down to the beach for sunset. Will definitely stay here again

Loved our stay! Free parking, beach chairs and best stocked kitchen supplies we have ever had in a condo. It is an older condo, so not perfect.
But great space for a couple! And room and dishes to entertain. Family came from their $$$$ hotel for the sunset. Would stay again.

Tidy, well maintained, good, well-equipped kitchen, we would rent this condo again. Enjoyed the ocean view sitting on the balcony. Everything about the place was well thought out. We really enjoyed our stay.

My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience. We could have lived in the provided beach chairs (and umbrella) on the beach. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The condo had everything we needed our hostess was great and easy to work with. We liked the location as it was an easy trek from airport and a super close drive to stores/restaurants.

We loved staying at this property! It had everything we needed including a cold pitcher of filtered water in the fridge upon arrival! ❤️ The view was breathtaking every morning we opened the curtains and enjoying my cup of coffee on the lanai was perfect.
The location of this property was just right! It was centrally located to all the spots we wanted to go to. Only 1.5 hour away from Haleakala crater to watch the sunrise - 2.5 hours away from Hana. 35 min from Lahaina. It’s a quiet area - no loud luaus going on but lots of great restaurants and shopping - even local fruit stands just walking distance. The beach has lots of washed up dead coral on it which makes for a beach combers dream beach.
Laurie was responsive when we needed her. The code to the pool is not what is listed so that does need to be updated. The laundry is coin operated but they are very close on the same floor as unit.
Mahalo for an amazing home away from home.

The condo was in a great spot in Kihei. Nice and quiet, walking distance to so many restaurants and beaches. The pool was great, grounds were clean and beautiful.

We stayed here for 10 days, the unit is perfect and grounds and complex are great. You can walk along the beach forever, pool and park in front and south has tennis courts, etc in it. My one thing was after dark there is no where to walk, because there is no sidewalks. There is coffee only, drug store, etc only a few blocks away but you have to walk along the highway. Otherwise it was great!

Fantastic stay! Laurie was helpful both during the booking process and with questions leading up to our trip. Location is excellent in our opinion with easy access to various parts of the island. The accommodations were well-appointed and comfortable. BBQs were a little finicky but we managed. All-in-all an excellent trip over the holidays for our family of four and we plan to return as soon as we can. Mahalo Laurie!
