Was a great experience from start to finish. We’ll be back!

This condo is nicely furnished, clean, and in a perfect location for viewing and accessing the beach. The property is quiet and well-maintained. The beach was clean and never crowded. The condo owner was friendly.

We can’t say enough about this lovely accommodation in Kihei. The place is perfectly furnished and supplied— and the sunset view is unbeatable! It’s also a great location on the island.

Our stay in Kihei was nothing short of spectacular. The view from the property was absolutely breathtaking—truly an incredible location. The property team was also a joy to work with, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. Although the unit didn't have a washer and dryer (but avail onsite), this minor detail was easily overshadowed by the overall amazing experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Kihei.

The best part about this condo is the location. Beautiful view, well-kept grounds, quiet, right on the beach. Walk to or short drive to restaurants and shopping. As for the condo, it was clean and pretty well equipped. There were beach chairs and umbrellas in a chest on the lanai. This condo could do with a facelift, but it was just fine for the two of us to have a peaceful quiet week on the beach.

We really enjoyed the ocean view from our 3rd floor lanai, watching whales. Evening turtle visits were a short walk down the beach. This was our second year in a row at this unit. The condo building manager was very attentive, and the other tenants were super social.

Everything on the listing was accurate except the bed was rotated 90 degrees which was no big deal. The views are awesome and the place is very quiet. The beach is so so. The air conditioning is very loud and you cannot watch tv at the same time the ac is running as you cannot hear the tv. The bedroom does not have ac. You get the air from the window unit that is in the livig room. Therefore, you have to blast the ac so it gets cool in the room. The bed is comfortable. Plenty of dishes, wine opener, cups, etc. No elevator so you have to carry your luggage 3 stories high. Plenty of towels and pillows. No shampoo or body wash provided. Only hand soap, dish detergent, dish sponge, washing machine pods, and coffee for 2 days. Washer and dryers available on site (not inside the unit) for 3 each per cycle. Pool was small, but nice. Parking was available all days of our stay. No issues. Supermarket , shops, and restaurants within walking distance. Drapes in the bedroom need to be cleaned. They are dusty and so are the ceiling fans and vents. Especially the one in the bathroom. Overall, I would stay again knowing all these things as they are small annoyances. Received courtesy calls after checking in and prior to checking out. No issues with the property whatsoever.

We enjoyed our stay at Hale Kai O’Kihei. The owner has thought of our every need, from kitchen accessories to beach towels. Better yet, the views of the ocean, sunsets and sunrises were unsurprised. The location was perfect: right on the water, within walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores, and in a quiet neighborhood. The other tenants and guests were friendly and helpful, but not intruding. There were washing facilities on site, and we never had to wait to use them. I would definitely stay there again.

Property located in great area, close walking and driving to activities and restaurants. Property as described and pictured. Bedding had some stains, otherwise rental was clean and had all things needed. AC and fans were loud, made it hard to sleep soundly while staying cool. Beautiful view and sandy beach right outside.

Loved staying at this condo! The location was perfect and central to so many things not to mention seeing the turtles on the beach right in the backyard! Only thing to note were some bugs in the condo but that’s to be expected in a ground floor unit in a tropical environment. Would 1,000 percent stay here again!
Krista L.
January 2025

Joe and Roopa's place is awesome! I wanted a place that was "oceanfront" and Joe and Roopa's is literally about sixty steps from the beach. Sunsets and whale watching from the lanai were amazing! Very close proximity to restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy etc. The condo is equipped with all you will need including some nice extras like beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler. Comfy bed too! I highly recommend Joe and Roopa's, their place is perfect and they are very attentive, responsive, kind hosts.

Great, older property with great view of ocean. We had many beautiful sunsets and saw whales every day from our balcony ( binoculars would have been great)

Extremely poorly outfitted. For example, there is only one huge and one tiny pot, the hair dryer is held together with saran wrap, but it was very clean and there'd is very comfortable.

This property was in the perfect location and served all our needs. The beach is easily accessible right downstairs, and it’s a very short walk to Times Supermarket for any groceries or toiletries. There are also several restaurants nearby, so you don’t need to travel far for a meal.The unit itself was well stocked and reasonably clean. It has dishware, silverware, pots/pans, cleaning supplies, a stove and microwave - the only thing that could be missing is a toaster oven. We noticed “ant killer” in one of the supply drawers, and later did see some teeny tiny little ants, but not enough that it bothered us. The lanai was amazing to get fresh ocean air, and I was pleasantly surprised that they supplied two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and cooler as well. We didn’t use all of these, but it’s nice to have, so you don’t need to rent elsewhere.On the last day, there was an issue with our doorcode where we were locked out, but the office responded and resolved the issue within the half hour. Overall, we’d be happy to stay here again!

We spent 8 days in this beach front condo and loved every second of it. The condo’s patio opens up to an incredible view of the ocean. The grounds in front are nicely kept with sweeping palms adding to the beauty of the ocean view and warm breezes. You can’t beat the location, right on the beach!! A smaller building makes for a quiet relaxed atmosphere. The condo itself had all we needed to enjoy our stay. It is a bit outdated but clean and cozy. For us the only down side was no dishwasher and the 2 bedrooms had sliding curtains rather than walls which isn’t great for privacy. We still loved it though and would definitely re book.

The condo was tastefully updated! The view was amazing and the grounds/beach were great! We enjoyed sunsets from the balcony and walks on the beach to see sea turtles. We would absolutely stay here again on a return trip to Maui!

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.

January 2025

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 was perfect for a quick trip to Maui. Gorgeous view from the balcony. Just a few yards to a nice beach with gentle waves. Beautiful newly remodeled condo. Quiet nights. Tons of great restaurants and a grocery store within a short walking distance. Perfect!

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
