Hale Hui Kai, Maui

Hale Hui Kai is small beachfront condo complex on one of Maui's nicest beaches - Keawakapu beach. The layout of the complex is unusual in that units surround an interior atrium/walkway with bedrooms (except oceanfront units) facing inward toward the hallway. But the complex is small (only 40 units spanning 3-4 floors) and foot traffic from the hallway isn't an issue.

Unit numbers ending in 2,4,6,8 and 10 face south while unit numbers ending in 1,3,5,7 and 9 face north. Unit numbers ending in 11,12 and 13 face the ocean. All else being equal, south facing and oceanfront units are more desirable because they have better views, get more natural light, and are prone to less wind. Oceanfront units average about 1250 sq.ft. while the rest average about 850.

Hale Hui Kai Address: 2994 South Kihei Rd, Kihei, 96753

Great location on the beach in south Kihei, very near to Wailea beaches as well. Good swimming and snorkeling, great sunsets. Property is very clean and well maintained. Good space in condo, we had everything we needed.

This was a perfect location for our family to do many excursions incuding deepsea fishing, snorkeling tour to Molokini and a Luau, all less than 15 minutes away. It was also the perfect spot for just enjoying the beautiful beach right infront of the complex. The condo had everything we needed to cook in or bring food back and sit outside at the private patio. Another plus was it was also equipped with beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas!

We love the closness to the beach, the setting, the entire vive. And unit 104 is wonderfully air conditioned, and beautifully updated. Love that the master bath has been sectioned off from the master bedroom in this unit!

My family loves Hawaii and have been to different Hawaii islands 7 times in the last two years and this VRBO has been the one we have enjoyed the most. My son loves this place more than he loves Disney Aulani. The place is in a very convenient spot close to Kihei and Wailea. However, the best part is the ability to walk a few feet and touch sand. We will be back!

The location is terrific - just at the border of Wailea and right next to a terrific snorkeling spot. Close to so many great things. Condo was clean and beautiful, with everything you would need (beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, kitchen equipment, etc). Highly recommend.

Reviewer Comments: Arrived late at night to a very beautiful and clean property. Air conditioning system was a bonus and we have a partial view of the ocean. The unit was well appointed and decorated and the access to the beach was simple and easy. Location was perfect - just around the corner was the shops at Wailea and food locations and restaurants were a short car ride from the property. Great experience and we are looking to come back and would highly recommend this property.Mahalo

Fabulous beach front location. Had a bit of trouble getting in but management was SUPER responsive (like within 2minutes). Agree with some reviews that say a bit tired but pretty minor upgrades could address this (like maybe time to replace area rugs and service AC unit). No grill on property but well stocked kitchen with an amazing view!

The place was nice and well kept. The air conditioning was great. The view didn't face the ocean off the patio, but it's so close to the beach so you just have to go out and walk to the beach.

The Condo and its location could not be beat! Wonderfully designed and decorated, great views, and a perfect location between the local restaurants and stores of Kihei and the upscale shops and hotels of Wailea. And we loved having the beach just steps away.

This place was simply amazing. Kitchen was fully stocked with popcorn makers, blender, spices, can opener, silverware, pots, pans, coffee pot, just everyrhing you could need. Beds were comfy, not just cheapo spring matresses at all. Having individual ACs in the bedrooms made customizing sleep temps even better. Right on the beach. Less than 30 mins from the airport. Close to shopping, food, bars, and all. The condo does have quiet hours from 8pm-8am, which was perfect for us 4 ladies (ages 38+) staying there, but might not be great for families with smaller children. Same for the pool rules, no jumping, no splashing, no loud noises or games with noises....great for us, but again might not be good for families with small children. Place was amazing!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I always stay at Hale Hui Kai when I visit Maui. Love the location and 310 was clean and had everything you need. The day we arrived the air conditioner wasn’t working in the second bedroom, but they fixed it the next day. Because there isn’t any air conditioner in the living room it got really hot even with the sliders and front door were open. We had to get a fan from the manager to try and blow the hot air out, we weren’t getting any breeze. We stayed in 311 two years ago and didn’t have this problem. I am sure we will be back maybe not this unit; Hale Hui Kai has the best location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Hale Hui Kai #309 was perfect. The location is great, parking was not an issue and the condo is beautiful. A few things that are probably needed: blankets for the beds (master has just a very thin cover and sheet), new beach towels (only 4 and they were worn and very small), more then one kitchen towel, hand towels for both bathrooms, more utensils and a dish strainer so you don't have to run the dish washer all the time). The kitchen is big and beautiful and the beach is only a few steps away. We were very happy and hope to be back soon.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off, we’ve stayed at this property more times than I can count. We were very disappointed this time around. 108 should have NEVER been rented in this condition. We arrived at night and the door was wide open with the cleaning cart out front. The unit had not been completely cleaned. The duvet cover in the master bedroom had stains all over it, the sheets were ripped on the ends, there was a hole in the drywall in the guest bath, and the towels were all mismatched and old. The management company offered to have the cleaners come in and clean but didn’t show up until days later. They informed us that this unit had water damage and didn’t have time to repair the drywall where they had cut it out. Not to mention the musty water smell the entire stay. We payed a premium price for Spring Break along with unit 109 for my sister's family. We payed the same price for both units. 109 was newly renovated so it was worth the price but 108 even with a slight view was not worth the money. Do not rent this unit!

This condo was a memory maker for our family. The condo was gorgeous with amazing views. The fact that we could literally walk right out onto a beautiful beach was the perfect vacation. The condo had a boogie board that my kids loved using to catch waves. There was also a perfect area for snorkeling also. The 2 king beds also provided perfect comfort so we were rested to play the next day. My kids continued to say that this was the best vacation ever. Maui is awesome and the condo was also. I can't speak any higher of it. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Todd and Jace for all your help and allowing us the opportunity to make forever memories with our family!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: #212 Hale hui Kai is unbeatable for two guests. The space is perfect. Lanai time is very pleasurable with an expansive view of the beach and coastal rocks. Sunsets are impossible to miss. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of unpacking space. Liked that there was no carpet. Just vinyl flooring. Easy to clean sand from. Need a better vacuum or dust mop system. Broom and dust pan? A rug at the entry door would be helpful for sand. It would be nice to have complimentary laundry detergent. Laundry facility is very easy to use , No Quarters! Kitchen needs work. Knives were dangerously dull, no storage ware, it’s like they needed to just start over. One drawer came off its runners several times. Freezer had a frost issue.Just needs updating. Furnishings were nice. If you need to have quiet to sleep bring ear plugs, the surf is a constant. The ocean doesn’t stop. All in all it was a lovely stay and we will be back.

Great property with all the amenities that one would imagine at a vacation beach home. Complex is right on the south Kihei beach shoreline, easily accessible- plus there are beach toys and gear in the condo for our use! Would stay here again for sure.

I’m very familiar with that part of Maui, so I knew in advance how great the location is. Fantastic view from lanai including sunsets. Keawakapu is consistently rated one of best beaches in world, and never disappoints. Swim with turtles, snorkel, boogie board, rent a SUP from next door is all steps away from Hale Hui Kai. I was there with 3 teenagers and was great they could walk to get ice cream, nails done, shops in Kihei and Wailea. The unit itself was clean and well appointed. I prefer open windows to AC and was fine with setup of AC in bedrooms only. Don’t think we used it. It was nice to sit on lawn furniture in shade or sun when beach too windy. Lots of whales in March, we could watch from lanai or lawn. So that’s all the great stuff and worth every $ to me, but just a heads up to not expect luxury accommodations, if that’s your thing. No laundry in unit, and could have used an extra set of sheets and beach towels. No common bathroom by pool, which was tiny and always full of little ones. Complex definitely older, but clean and well maintained/bug free. Overall a great stay and I highly recommend!
