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.

What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 616 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Hale Hui Kai wins rave reviews for its unbeatable, toes-in-the-sand location on Keawakapu Beach. Guests love the intimate, vintage “old Hawai‘i” feel, quiet atmosphere, and nightly sunsets from the lawn and poolside lanai. Swimming, boogie boarding, and easy snorkeling with turtles are right out front, and many mention whale watching in season. It’s a convenient base between Kihei’s eateries and Wailea’s resorts, with repeat visitors highlighting the friendly community vibe and responsive on-site/office teams.

Condos are generally clean, comfortable, and well equipped, often with beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers) and thoughtfully stocked kitchens; many units have been remodeled. Most have air conditioning in the bedrooms (some have living-room or full-unit A/C), elevators serve the building, and laundry rooms are on each floor with an easy app. Managers are frequently praised for clear communication and quick help when issues pop up.

Common tradeoffs reflect the property’s age and unit-by-unit ownership. Expect variation in updates and supplies, and note that some living areas lack A/C and can run warm in the afternoon; ground-floor spots trade privacy for instant beach access, while corridor-facing bedrooms can pick up hallway noise. The pool is small, unheated, and quiet-hours are enforced; there are no BBQs on site. Parking stalls are tight, occasional ants or a musty feel can occur in the tropics, and storm surf can temporarily impact beach steps. Read individual listings for A/C details, renovation level, and view preferences—oceanfront for wow-factor vistas or back units for cooler, quieter stays.

The place was so close to everything. It was just a short walk to the beach, plenty of food stops and shopping, and close to the main street when driving places. The lanai was spacious and relaxing. Loved that they provided plenty of beach towels, chairs and a beach umbrella. Fabulous place!

I’ll start with the pros : Nice view and spacious condo Cons : Lanai cushion furniture was all worn out and flat, beach chairs had ripped pockets 1of 2 beach umbrell had bent poles,lanai railing was not clean when we checked in lanai table was dirty sliding door to the living area from the lanai did not latch close so the security method was a stick in the track for the door The screen in the kitchen window was dirty to the extent where it would not allow the Cross ventilation breeze to pass through . One morning we open up the dishwasher to find about 1000 ants inside upon telling the property management company about this a day and a half later they dropped by some insect deterrent for us to eradicate the pests. The roller shade in the second bedroom has no means of control, and you literally have to wind the shade up and down on the barrel by hand. The sliding door in the primary en suite couldn’t be left open for any extent of time because when you close the screen behind it didn’t close properly leaving it a jar and provided access for insects to easily get into the unit if left open at night. The crank windows in the primary bedrm were seized closed and appeared to have been in operable for an extended period of time. Simple checks by the cleaning staff between rentals and general ongoing maintenance would be helpful

The property is great, the location is excellent. The communication with the managers was super easy. The only problem we had during our stay - there was not a single sharp knife to cut a watermelon. This is only one improvement that we can think of. Thank you!

This was a beautiful condo right on the beach. Couldn’t have asked for more. Loved that we didn’t have to walk anywhere to get a good space on the beach and a perfect to play in the waves. Would come back in a heartbeat. The apartment was clean with lots of extra necessities. Loved it!

We weren't staying at a particularly busy time so had no issues with privacy though I could see how if it had been a really busy time the people walking by the bedrooms could be an issue.

If you are a beach bum like us this is the place for you. We brought our own bedding as we are picky and prefer down pillows and comforters. Wish there was AC in the living room. Family vibes and residents at the condo. When someone smokes you can smell it in your unit if the doors are open. This isn't the fault of the host. Lots of tiny ants in the bathroom but this is also common in Hawaii. Odd though no ants in the kitchen just the bathrooms. Our code didn't work at check in but they fixed it in 5 min. Very helpful and very clear communication. Can't wait to return.

Absolutely lovely, comfortable condo in Kihei. I loved the authenticity of Hawaiian style open courtyards, landscaping, and amenities. Very quiet location, beautiful beach. Car needed to get to restaurants or shopping. EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS and facility information in the handbook provided on the foyer table. A for clear details, and reasonable rules and expectations for someone like me who is staying as a guest in someone else's home. I would recommend this lovely home for retirees or travelers with extremely calm children. For me - it was PERFECT. I loved the strict rules for quiet times, pool etiquette, and respect for the facilities. Exactly the restful vacation I wanted. THANK YOU

Our stay was fantastic! Our Vrbo was our home away from home. We had what we needed to relax and have fun! It was clean and a short walk to the beach which was great for lounging, playing in the water and snorkeling close to shore. For a beginner it was fantastic! The room provided beach chairs, an umbrella, towels and pool noodles. We made use of the kitchen cooking our own meals while the AC kept us cool. It was nice surprise to share donuts and coffee with others in the rotunda with others that was provided by the condo. It would be nicer if a restaurant was within walking distance but that's not the fault of the owner.

This unit was great - super well stocked and clean, and a working smart TV. Hale Hui Kai is such a great spot, it’s hard to go wrong. We had an absolute blast. Martha was also fantastic to work with on the booking. This particular unit has a little bit of road and parking lot noise, due to its location, but it didn’t bother us. We were perfectly happy.

What a magical place! Walk out the front patio and be on the best beach ever - soft sand, warm water and flat drop off, great for the kids. They also loved the pool. The unit was very clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen. It even featured thoughtful things like coffee mugs for our morning walks on the beach. Lots to do in the surrounding areas, though we were grateful to have our rental car. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

We had an excellent stay. The building is very quiet, on a beautiful beach, and the condo layout is perfect for a family. Christy was a great host, no problems throughout and very quick to respond.

We have stayed in this complex a dozen times but never this unit which I would say is by far my favorite so far. The kitchen was fully stocked and updated. There were plenty of chairs for our group, coolers and an umbrella. We were surprised to find a welcome basket of fruit which was a nice touch! The management kept us informed of complex maintenance and checked on us throughout our stay. We had a great time and will definitely be back

I took my two kids here for spring break. The place was clean and well stocked. Location was great and we were all pleased with how quiet and peaceful the setting was. I would have given it 5 stars but my daughter complained about the bed being uncomfortable and the WiFi wouldn’t work in the bedroom.

We returned to this property after staying last year. We love being able to go back and forth to the beach really easily. The beach is great for swimming, gentle waves, and around the point is good snorkeling. The beach is long and connects to resorts so you can walk a ways.The condo is comfortable and has lots of supplies in the kitchen and even some toys for our almost 2 year old to play with. We loved it and will more than likely be back for a third trip!

We had a delightful stay at Hale Hui Kai. The property is private and quiet, but just steps from the sand. The unit has obviously been remodeled and feels very contemporary. We had an issue with a leaking toilet and the property manager was SUPER responsive and quick to get things repaired. The apartment was also equipped with all the beach-going gear that you'd want. Similarly, the kitchen was well supplied. We'd love to return to HHK.

We loved the location. Literally steps away from the beach. Property is well maintained, with plenty of outdoor furniture, an oceanfront (unheated) pool and covered lounge area. We watched whales and beautiful sunsets. Very accessible gorgeous beach with snorkelling directly in front.Unit 106 was everything we wanted. Ample space for 2 couples. Top end appliances. Comfortable furniture - especially the beds. Management company was easy to reach and they responded quickly. Would definitely stay here again!

We love to do just that during our travels as probably half our cooking on these types of trips. Otherwise, great spot! We love kehei in general as some of the best beaches, not as touristy as Lahina and Wailea.
