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 Kai O Kihei delivers a classic Maui, oceanfront stay with a relaxed, low-rise vibe. Guests love the uncrowded, kid‑friendly beach just steps from the lawn, nightly sunsets from the lanai, and frequent whale and sea turtle sightings in season. Its central Kihei location is a standout: you can walk to a grocery store, food trucks, coffee, and restaurants, and drive easily to Wailea, Lahaina/Kāʻanapali, Upcountry, and the Road to Hāna. The grounds are tidy and peaceful, with a small, seldom‑busy pool, BBQs, shuffleboard, and plenty of lounge space on the grass for when the beach gets windy.

Units vary, but many have been tastefully remodeled and are exceptionally well stocked—think full kitchens with spices and oils, beach chairs/umbrella/cooler/boogie boards, and thoughtful extras. Several hosts and managers earn high marks for friendly, fast communication, and repeat visitors are common. Some condos include split A/C (even in the bedroom) and in‑unit laundry, while many others rely on a living‑room A/C plus ceiling/tower fans and use the onsite coin/card laundry. Across the board, the star is the lanai: sweeping ocean views for morning coffee and postcard sunsets.

Trade‑offs reflect an older, low‑key complex. Quality and decor differ by unit; while many are spotless and updated, others feel dated or need deeper cleaning. A recurring theme is limited A/C to the living area—bedrooms can run warm—and there’s no elevator to upper floors. The pool is small with set hours, and the beach, though lovely for walks and gentle swimming, can be shallow/rocky in spots and isn’t a top snorkeling beach; afternoons may be breezy. Occasional ants/roaches (tropical reality), periodic property maintenance, and a few mentions of homeless activity in the broader area come up, though most guests still describe a quiet, safe stay. If you value serene, true oceanfront living and easy island access over resort flash, this property hits the sweet spot.

Right on the beach and close to everything. Always clean and parking is easy. Love the pool as well.

Everything looks exactly like the photos. Room was clean when we arrived, AC was great, kitchen had most of everything we needed, and the views off the balcony were absolutely stunning. We watched the sunset from the porch every night! Beach access is directly behind the condo on first floor. Pool was great to cool off! We loved it! Highly recommend and would 100% come stay again.

I have stayed at other condos within this property and am very happy with the location. This particular co do was not very clean. Floors were so dirty i couldnt take off shoes. The ceiling (popcorn) was absolutely disgusting in the bedroom.

Beautiful decor and everything you could possibly need. The towels were fluffy and smelled amazing. The front door enters immediately into the bedroom and the door is frosted glass. A room darkening curtain would be a nice addition on that window. The building itself is not super fancy. The other property owners could tidy up their outdoor spaces - one had an old mattress sitting outside - and this would improve the view of the building from the pretty beach and lawn area. These are relatively minor issues. The water is not quite as clear and blue as other beaches on Maui but we enjoyed the close proximity, swimming and saw a turtle and a seal!

The property was amazing, the balcony with the view and the views from the main living room are incredible! The beach access is perfect and the grass area in the back of the property is great when its too windy on the beach. My only criticism of the property was there were quite a few ants in the kitchen, we kept everything tidy but still noticed ants on the kitchen counter (no idea where they were coming from) also the location in Kihei has a number of homeless people that hang around outside the property and up the blocks surrounding the condo. Obviously nothing you can do about that but was surprising upon arrival. Other than the homeless the location is very centrally located and makes it easy to get to all portions of the island. Overall the property was fantastic and we very much enjoyed our stay.

The condo is beautifully remodeled and furnished! The living area and Primar bedroom have A/C units which were greatly appreciated at night. Every space had ceiling fans. The blackout shades in the bedrooms were wonderful! I found it helpful that not all food items had been removed from prior renters. We loved having some jams, lots of spices, several condiments and cooking oils to use. The condo was well stocked with paper towels, dish detergents, TP etc. Lastly, having 4 beach chairs and beach towels available to use was perfect! I highly recommend this condo!! We will be back for sure!

Perfect location on a uncrowded beach. AC was nice for those warmer days. Unit has all the beach stuff you might need and plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sunsets. Property manager was responsive to any questions or needs. If you’re looking for big waves and crowded beaches, choose another place. But if you’re looking for a quiet and comfortable condo facing the beach with few people around, this one is for you!

The condo was equipped with the essentials and extras as needed. The view from the room was stunning. Overall I would stay here again however, would hope for a little more cleanliness as there was dust and some dirt covering most surfaces.

The condo is spacious, right on a beautiful beach and centrally located to restaurants and attractions. It is very well appointed with everything you need for a beach vaca - from beach chairs, sun umbrellas, cooler and boards to sunscreen. Furniture and decorations were tastefully chosen, functional and clean. However, there were a couple major issues. First, the air conditioner is woefully inadequate. It was always hot and stifling in the bedroom. No matter how long you run the air conditioner, the bedroom is never cooled. We had both ceiling fans, the two portable tower fans and the air conditioner running and we still had to sleep on the pull out sofa bed. It really did no good to close the outside sun shade, the curtains or open windows to let the breeze through. Very disappointing. Second, as acknowledged by the host in their extensive rules and instructions, there are bugs - specifically roaches … and lots of them. They congregated on the kitchen counters and hid under coffee maker - “Good morning.” The condo needs to be fumigated and treated much more often. Very disappointing. Oh, also remove the water restrictor on the show head or replace it. You have to keep the shower on for a long time just to rinse off soap. Adding to the heat and humidity in the unit.

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The unit exceeded our expectations, from the spotless cleanliness and beautiful ocean view to the thoughtful amenities and well-maintained space.Joe was incredibly responsive and guided us every step of the way, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we booked. Thanks to his hospitality, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our time without a worry. We loved the Tommy Bahama chairs for beach days, they were a great touch. As was the A/C!When we return to Maui, there’s no question, we’ll absolutely plan to book with Joe again!

The condo was very clean and in a centralized location. There was plenty of room for a family of five, and the air conditioning worked flawlessly.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Maui property! The location is unbeatable. Perfectly central to everything on the island. Whether we were heading to Lahaina area, Wailea, or upcountry, it was always an easy drive.The property itself is stunning and peaceful, far more relaxing than a typical resort. The beach was just steps away and felt like a hidden gem—quiet, clean, and ideal for morning walks, sunsets and turtle watching. The pool area was also a great bonus: never crowded, well-maintained, and perfect for a lazy afternoon.Inside, the accommodations were top-notch. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed with all the conveniences we needed. A well appointed kitchen, laundry, beach gear, Wi-Fi, and more. It truly felt like a home away from home.We loved being able to unwind in such a serene setting while still being close to restaurants, shops, and activities. If you’re looking for a peaceful, convenient, and beautiful place to stay in Maui, this is it. We can’t wait to return!

What can I say? We were so happy when we arrived at this property to find the most beautiful view. It was exactly what I was hoping for our quick stay on Maui. The view of the water, palm trees, and sunset were just breathtaking. When we arrived there was an amazing treat waiting for us, along with a super clean, and fully stocked condo! Every detail was not overlooked. Seasonings, olive oil, aloe for burns, towels, chairs, everything you could need while you stayed here. The beds were extremely comfortable, even the pull out, which never happens. Falling asleep to the waves, was exactly what I wanted. We were extremely comfortable, with two air cons, one in each room. The upgrades were beautiful, the towels were soft, everything was clean and well thought out. Joe was great and got back to me within minutes about any question or need. We all can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Wonderful stay with easy access to food and grocery stores. Great sunset views from the lanai. Nicely updated and comfortable place.

If you want a room with a view, this place is awesome! It is on a picture perfect beach! The property is older, the updates in our unit were poorly done in terms of quality of workmanship, but it had most things we needed for a week's vacation. To help you decide if it works for you, here's what we didn't like. No real air conditioning and the ceiling fans are past their prime. The window AC unit is loud and old and does nothing to help the bedroom -- it was hot and stuffy the entire week and the bedroom ceiling fan barely moves air (tradewinds were no fix for heat and humidity in early May). The washer/dryer is a shared coin laundry (3 per load) and the hours are annoying (8 am to 8 pm) -- so no option to do laundry in the evening after dinner or early in the day -- which is what I do on vacation. The pool is beautiful, but the hours are restricted -- no early or late swimming -- which doesn't work for eastern time zone people wanting an early morning swim. That said the location is central and it's easy to get around and see and do everything on Maui. It is in a neighborhood, not only a tourist area and some streets are really nice, others are not that great. The balcony is fantastic for enjoying morning coffee or a snack at sunset. The view is awesome and it's on one of the best beaches in the vincinity.

This two bedroom unit was perfect for our son, DIL and two grandchildren. Pool directly in front of the room and the lawn is beautiful. Fantastic access to the beach and the view is priceless! Wonderful kitchen and very comfortable beds. Mahalo.

We enjoyed our stay in this unit and although we had a couple of issues when we arrived, the property manager was wonderful. We had a broken chair on the lanai and a burn mark/hole on one of the couch cushions. We reported it immediately and were very happy with their response. The broken chair was removed and they already knew about the couch cushion. Beautiful views. Phenomenal beach. Mahalo!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property very much! The condo is well situated on the island, with an easy walk to a supermarket and a variety of restaurants. Lovely beach with beautiful sunset views. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment was updated and had everything we needed! We would stay again!

The condo was well stocked, clean and updated. We enjoyed the location being on the beach and close to everything we needed and wanted to do. Pam was very responsive when there was an issue and handled it very fairly even though it was beyond her control and no fault of her own. We would stay here again.
Stefanie R.
May 2025

This is a relatively small condo complex which added to the charm of the condo. We enjoyed every moment especially morning coffee on the lanai. We used the BBQ grill and the swimming pool areas, both well maintained. The grounds were well maintained and the swaying palm trees added a touch of romance. Would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to visit again soon.

Can’t say enough about the location and the accommodation. The beach is steps away and we spent the evenings watching the sunset from our balcony. Grocery store was right around the corner. Bed was great and the area was quiet.

Owner was great and very communicative, property is as listed, we walked right out to the beach, walked to coffee shop, grocery and restaurants. The location on the island is also amazing - easy to get around the entire island from here. The owner kept us informed about what was in the house, it was well stocked for simple cooking and snacks and such. Not promised, but other guests left beach chairs that were most welcome to use. Laundry in the building, not in the unit, and it cost, but we were grateful for the owner providing laundry soap. Suggest that you bring you own larger shampooconditioner. Yes, the kitchen had what we needed to cook a few meals, containers to bring snack with us out on our travels. Yes the kitchen is a bit old, but you don't come here for the kitchen, go sit on that porch and watch the ocean! We loved our visit. Our check in was a bit off because of a new air conditioner being installed, but that was really minor and they kept us informed. We used the fans the whole trip, it was never hot enough to turn the AC on. (April) 3rd floor walkup. We did not even look for an elevator. Everything in the unit worked, the building was nice and quiet, and the views are spectacular. It really was a great location.

Incredible oceanfront condo in Kihei. What a great experience from check-in to checkout. Views for days! Great facility that's well stocked with utensils and cleaning products. Appliances all worked well, and the beach chairs and Boogie boards were very nice to have. Beautiful property so close to the beach with sensational sunsets.

Second floor condo overlooking the beautiful grass grounds, palm trees and ocean. Very quiet neighborhood as well as the condos! 2-5 minute walk to grocery store and several restaurants and even a live show theatre. Long walking beach where we saw sea turtles basking in the sun. We could not have had a better stay!!

This place needs an update - windows were totally dirty. When wind blows it whistles loudly thought he louvered windows. When my daughter first walked in she came out and said, "I think someone is inside vacuuming!" There wasn't, it was the wind blowing through the louvered windows, which were closed. Very little pride in ownership!

Can’t beat the beach front location and just minutes away from shops and restaurants.

This stay truly couldn’t have been any better! The location, the views, the cleanliness and hospitality provided by Joe. All top notch! I stayed the prior 4 nights at a high end resort in Wailea and this was infinitely better. If I decide to visit Maui again, it will solely be dependent on the availability of this rental. Thank you for the memories!

The condo is in a great location close to restaurants, grocers and at ocean front. The sunsets are spectacular. Relaxing on the balcony during sunrise and sunsets was very enjoyable!! The condo is equipped with kitchen things you need for long stay. Additionally I appreciate having some sunscreens in the cabinet for uses. The only improvement I recommend is to replace the area rugs in living room and bedrooms to give a fresh look of this beautiful renovated space. We also appreciate the beach chairs and umbrella available for use on a beach day. Overall we are very pleased with the condo and have enjoyed our 8 day stay tremendously.

We've stayed at Hale Kai O'Kihei twice before and this is by far the best unit we've rented. Very nicely finished and we'll furnished with all the little items that set it apart from others. They provided everything, from a blender to boogie boards. It will be our first choice of units from here on out.

Unit was not cleaned. Burn marks on counter tops. 2 kitchen cupboard doors hanging off hinges. Carpet very old and worn plus stains all along the edge by sliding glass doors. Unit smells musty. I called Vacasa (property management) and they sent a cleaning company right away. Pool was broken and out of use for 5 days.

Clean and comfortable. Usually we can swim right in front of the condo. This stay the shallows and out a ways was Brown Water. Can’t swim in that! No sunsets either. The condo owner can’t control any of this. But in past stays the swimming and sunsets are amazing!

Caretaker used to hose off patio so bird poop didn't accumulate. And he used to blow off patios daily to get rid of sand and debris. The property used to be immaculate. No longer is it so.daily so sand and debris didn't buie used to

My husband and I really appreciated and enjoyed our stay at Joe’s place. The check in process was seamless, easy, and the listing was very accurate as listed. There’s nothing worse than an inaccurate listing and Joe’s was spot on and newly renovated! We got so lucky finding this listing, not only are you steps from a long stretch of beautiful beach (no crossing the street required, just right outside the balcony below), the Maui powerhouse gym is only a 7 min walk and one of the best food truck areas is only about a 9 min walk (2 more mins from powerhouse gym). The condo was very clean and has everything we could need and more in the kitchen and bathroom. The bed is so comfy we want to buy the same one for our home. We could not believe how lucky we got in every category for a vacation rental. We will definitely be renting from Joe again next time we visit Maui! Thank you so much!!
