A great condo with everything that we could need for our stay. It was a great jumping off point for exploring Maui and the location on the beach made it a perfect place to recharge! We would absolutely stay here again.

This condo is at a perfect spot right on the beach. Convenient walking to grocery stores and restaurants. It is also very well equipped with beach gear and kitchen essentials. We will definitely stay here again next time we come to Maui. Aloha!

We love the location of this place. Away from busy parts with the resorts and/or hotels. Nice enough beach with a little bit of rocks in the water. It goes shallow for a long time, so perfect for kids. For snorkeling look for another location. Not uncommon to see turtles sleeping on the beach. Times grocery store within walking distance. The unit is small, outdated, but has everything one needs to spend a week or more. Main bed was comfortable, can't say the same about sleeper sofa. Ended up buying inflatable mattress for kids to sleep on the floor. Air conditioner was doable, perhaps on a smaller size or maybe just old for a unit this size, barely reached to the bedroom. Ceiling fans helped quite a bit though. Sunsets were amazing from this location. A small pool, coin/card laundry machines, barbecue/grill and shuffle board are also on site. Would come back.

We really enjoyed staying here. It’s just steps from the beach ( with gentle waves and shallow water - our kids loved it). The view from the balcony is just gorgeous - we spent so much time just sitting there and enjoying the view ( especially sunsets!) the hosts are nice and responsive. A handwritten note upon our arrival was a nice touch!

Our stay was amazing the location was perfect and on a great beach. Loved the condo layout and having access to washer and dryer in the room was an added bonus!!

This property is simply stunning! It is in a perfect location to restaurants, grocery stores, and to simply experience a low key residential area. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and well thought out. The balcony affords you the most incredible sunsets and makes a fun time watching the whales. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need. The extra towels, pillows, and blankets allowed you to customize your comfort. I appreciated having access to a vacuum to keep the floor tidy. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was also an unexpected bonus that you never think would use in vacation but it did come in handy.My only two suggestions that would make the accommodation a little more comfortable is a better shower head in the bathroom and some sort of adjustable covering over the enter door (the jealousies). Overall, this VRBO experience was by far a highlight of the trip.

My daughters and I enjoyed every moment at this property. There is no better patio view in Kihei and the sunsets are phenomenal. The beds including the pullout were really comfortable. Was so great to have chairs and umbrella and boogie boards to use at the beach! I highly recommend a stay here and hope to get back again.

This place was amazing. My husband and I stayed there for our anniversary. It is exactly as pictured. Amazing beach right outside your door with turtles swimming around, super comfortable bed, AC, clean. Joe was very responsive, the only thing we had to contact him for were dish towels which he had delivered right away and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stav again. Words can't really do it justice.

My husband and I spent 3 weeks in this well appointed condo. A very comfortable condo with a king size bed and bathroom with a walk-in shower. Not super fancy but really felt like home. Nothing compares to the view from this place. We look forward to returning

We love this complex because it is small, low key and quiet. The unit is in a perfect spot on the ground floor, which we love. It is well maintained, well stocked, updated and very comfortable. Have stayed three times and are about to book our next stay

Generally unclean door knobs, light switches, dishes in cupboard all needed washing. When we walked in we felt the place was unclean. Floors and bathroom uncleaned. Carpet needs a good cleaning

Our stay was fantastic & exactly as advertised! The views were incredible. The beach was beautiful, clean and pretty quiet. Within walking distance to some restaurants, but within a short drive to everything else. We loved it. We will be back!

We have stayed at Hale Kai O Kihei a number of times and Joe's condo is probably the nicest remodeled one we have stayed in. Joe was quick and courtesy with communication. The condo was very clean, modern with an easy check in. The kitchen was stocked with everything we would need for appliances and utensils. The condo also had beach things (chairs, umbrella, body board and different types of beach toys). The view is just perfect. We love having a pool right there, as well as the beach. We will absolutely stay in Joe's condo again. Thank you!

This condo is the perfect quiet place to stay in Kihei. Modern finishes and fully stocked. I can't say enough about the location - walking distance to many restaurants, steps from the beach, beautiful sunsets from the balcony. *The only tiny suggestion is more comfortable seating on the balcony. The sunsets are so wonderful that we wanted to sit out there for at least an hour.

Lovely, updated condo right on the beach! We were pleased with condition of the condo, proximity to shopping and restaurants, and who can beat the view? We will definitely be back.

The views from this condo are amazing! Absolutely stunning with a great beach to walk on, snorkeling and swimming were fantastic. The condo is dated and needs some TLC however the view more than made up for it. The bathroom needs some upkeep but not a deterrent at least not for us. We've stayed in many VRBO's and this one was not stocked so be prepared for that. Usually there are left over spices, etc from other guests but there were none and not even Tupperware to put leftovers in. The very basic necessities of pots, pans, etc were all there though and it was the perfect kitchen to cook what ever you wanted. I would recommend this condo to anyone and would stay again!

Place was very clean. View was amazing and a great place to see sunset. Within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Overall very pleased with our stay!

Next time we will stay 2 weeks instead of 1!!! This condo is situated in a great location. Not only are you steps from one of the best beaches in Kihei but you can walk to the grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants and cafes. It’s at the end of a quiet street. The sunsets are stunning from this location!!! The condo has everything you need including beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and sand toys. The kitchen is well appointed with two types of coffee makers (pod and drip), there are sundry pantry items and a lovely welcome basket. The bed was comfortable. We didn’t use the air conditioning at all as the cross breeze when the slider and windows are open cooled it down very quickly. Thank you Josef and Roopa. We loved our time there.

Such a great location and just a beautiful place to call home for a few days. The balcony overlooks the sand dunes and the ocean. We ate every meal on the outside patio table. The sunsets were mind blowing. We will definitely be back!!!

The condo could have had more frying pans and cutlery in the kitchen, otherwise it was just lovely!

I couldn’t find a better place for a mini vacation. The condo was amazing! Right on the beach and beautiful views from the balcony. Unit had everything you would need to feel like home. Location is very convenient, on a quiet street, but also minutes away from all the shopping and restaurants. It wasn’t my first time in Maui and I never stayed in Kihei before, but would definitely go back there. I liked that you can tan on the grass lawn and in a minute walk on a sand and jump into the ocean. And the area is so quiet, you can hear the waves from the living room.

Great condo steps from the ocean. Good location to start your day from.Close to shopping and a good size living space that sure beats a hotel.Highlight of trip was watching several sea turtles come up on the beach. Nature up close and personal.If you watch the water, you can see the turtles pop their heads up from time to time as they drift past the beach. Made for a special trip.

This condo has a beautiful 2nd floor view of the ocean and is feet from the beach. It's close to shopping, dining and the main road in Kihei. My husband and I had plenty of room and the kitchen was well stocked. We plan to stay here the next time we visit Kihei.

Stunning! I love everything about this condo. First and foremost are the furnishings, absolutely beautiful with a very well appointed kitchen to cook for your family. The sunset views are perfect every night and then it’s a very short walk to dozens of restaurants.
Jesse H.
November 2024

The property is awesome. Many restaurants, shops, markets and cafes are within a 5-10 min walk. The beach is literally your back yard. Unobstructed views (except by palm trees) of the ocean and lots of room to just relax on the grass or on the beach itself. Beach area isnt super busy like the others in the Wailea / Kihei border area. I even saw honu lounging on the beach.
Jeffrey O.
November 2024

Place is exactly as shown. Beach and amazing view from your own balcony is perfect every morning and every evening. With that in front of you and a short walk to 30-40 places to get any kind of food you want, each breakfast and dinner can be had with a spectacular, peaceful, quiet view. Turtles abound steps away from the unit. Clean & modern inside. Highly recommend.

The view of the beach right of the balcony/patio is beautiful!! My husband and I loved sitting out there just taking in the view. The condo is beautiful and thankfully air conditionerd. Joe is a great owner, thinking of everything you might need for your visit. We woukd most definitely stay here again in a heartbeat! The only thing I can say anyway negative is the way he list the laundry , I thought it was only coin operated. No there is a stackable in the condo. Joe thank you so much for your hospitality and letting us visit your beautiful property!! I hope we can return and visit again!
