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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really happy with this condo. Very practical, clean, easy, perfect location and beach. 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.

The HHK is a wonderful place to settle yourself down. So close to the beach. The grounds were well kept and the management friendly. It was nice to be so close to shopping, groceries and finery. The beach is unparalleled.

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.

Location was fabulous. Office really helpful.Well stocked kitchen Beds comfortable,addition linen available in unit.Loved the Lanai. Great beach chairs and umbrellas and boogie board. If I had to be picky -the iving room chairs need some stuffing in the seats. Bath room in master bedroom has a partially open toilet area just fyi. We loved this place and are planning on coming back

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we loved beings steps from the beach in this nice spacious condo. My only critique is no bbq’s. 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.

Great place to melt into Maui. Fantastic condo with great features. Only thing is the floors were a bit dirty upon check-in. Everything else was near-perfect! Highly recommend!

Unfortunately our stay was disappointing. The location and view from this property is beautiful, however we stayed there for two weeks and only had one working toilet. When we advised the management company they said the part was on order and would take longer than our stay. (My husband found the part 25 min drive away). We then had a leaking dishwasher (water and sticky brown substance) so I called and messaged the mgt company right away and nothing was ever done. The condo is bad condition and it’s very frustrating for us as we paid around 17,000 cad for two week and many things did not work. There was also a cap on hot water so one of us could shower with warm water quickly before all hot water was gone. The couch also was an issue as it was very worn so there was no support when you would sit. The pictures may have been taken years ago when the condo was in better condition. Such a shame as it has so much potential.

This perfectly placed unit gave us spectacular sunsets, immediate beach access and a wonderful central location. Ian and his crew were super responsive to any concerns. The unit was quiet and well equipped with beach chairs etc. We can’t wait to return!

This property is a hidden gem . Right on the keawakapu beach with views for days . The condo is very comfortable with AC in each room . It was well equipped to prepare meals throughout our stay . Had a problem with non functioning stove and property management was there first thing in the morning to replace it . Very responsive in all of my communications. The meeting with other guest on the Lanai for happy hour and watching the sunsets made it a very welcoming place . Enjoy !

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in unit 213 several times. I love this unit! Spacious, airy, lots of natural light, sunset from private huge balcony. The kitchen is well stocked - I am not used to having my morning smoothies on vacations and the Ninja blender was a nice treat. Sunset is right in front of the huge balcony. Very comfortable master bed and large bedroom. Cross breeze and fans handle the temp. I used some AC at night which is appreciated. The owner provided service for a situation that not all owners would address. Highly recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's a nicely updated and furnished unit at Hale Hui Kai, we visit at least twice a year and rented this unit for our family overflow. The only negative was probably from the mini split - there was what looked like either dirt or mold in it. The unit was damp and musty smelling at times as well, so much so we could smell it in our grandkids clothing.

This apartment was perfect for my family vacation. Easy for my senior parents to access as it is directly next to the elevator and only 12 steps from the beach. Beautiful furnishings, stocked kitchen, and the best view in Maui.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hale Hui Kai is a special place and I am sorry that this unit has some issues. All of my belongs that were in drawers now have a very musty smell and after 2 washings I cannot get it out. I have to be honest in saying I can't stand that smell. I think there is a humidity issue in that unit. The air conditioning units in the primary bedroom and kitchen are placed so that the cold air blows on you when you're trying to read in bed and eating at the table. The refrigerator had a leak and I called the second or third day, of my two week stay, to let someone know about it. Water would puddle on the top shelf and the drawer under that shelf so nothing could be stored in it. I had to mop it up 3 or 4 times, the last time I mopped up 2 measuring cups of water. The drawer can't be removed because the swing is on the wrong side of the refrigerator and the door can't be opened to clear the drawer. My daughter and her family were in one of the other units and there was no smell in their unit. Also, one of the lovely things about the ground floor units are the back patio areas. All of the units except this one have "trunks" for storage of chairs, sand toys etc. I had to clean up the patio and organize all of the stuff that was put there so it wouldn't look so messy and take up the space it did. There are some things that need to be tossed. I feel like this unit is a little bit tired and needs some improvements, not a lot but important ones. I'm sorry I can't give a 5 star review here because I do love this facility. I believe these are things that can be taken care of. I would recommend staying here but not in this unit, 108.
