This property is all it claims to be. The location is ideal. The beach, though small, is only a short stroll away. The condo is easy to access, has all the comforts of home and the keyless entry is convenient-no key to lose! Everything you need is provided including beach gear and towels. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils etc. condo was very clean and well kept. We would definitely book this condo again hands down.

My family and I were very impressed with this rental. The rental provided everything we needed, even for time on the beach. Make sure you bring water shoes. Lots of rocks on the beach. We had a slight delay checking in but the property manager was quick to fix the issue. Thank you for a great stay

The location of this condo was fantastic and quiet. Felt like being home rather than on vacation at a typical hotel. Loved being on the ground floor. Communication with the manager and others was easy and quick and very detailed information is given prior to the stay. Definitely somewhere I'd stay again when I get the chance to visit!

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at this condo. It has a terrific view and is comfortably appointed. The bathroom has recently been redone and it is quite nice to use as well.
Originally when we were planning our trip we intended to stay in Lahaina, but obviously that was out. We are very happy we stayed in Kihei. It is central, has a lot of great places to eat, and just enjoyed the vibe. Overall made for a great stay on Maui!
BTW, we had some small maintenance issues while we were there. That happens. The owner went above and beyond the call of duty in getting a plumber out for repairs on the weekend. She was very helpful and we appreciate it.

Joan’s place has everything you need. Full kitchen, lots of linens, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board, etc. Beautiful view from the large lanai and a minute or so walk to the beach. We had the best time visiting for 10 days and can’t wait to come back. Mahalo.

The property has all you need for your vacation. Ice cold central air, and the owner was very cooperative with my request. Convenient parking, and great ocean view with stunning sunset. Great place for a family of 4. I will definitely be back. Thanks Jim.

Very clean with modern appliances and WiFi. Great location if you rent a car with easy access to most parts of the island. Kihei has grocery stores, plenty of shopping, and great food.
Easy access to the beach and pool area.
We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home. Would definitely stay here again. Owners left chairs to use so that was extremely helpful when going to the beach! Location was perfect. Several plazas with restaurants and beaches about 5 minutes away.

Our stay was great, the location was perfect as it made everything easily accessible. We didn't spend too much time as we were out and about but it was quiet and peaceful. The patio and beach that was just steps away were great places to wind down and rest after a long day. It had everything we needed for our stay and more. We would stay here again.

Place was exactly as shown in listing. Clean, very well stocked kitchen, nice perk was to have beach towels and coolers available for us to use. Location of condo to get to other towns was great and a short drive from airport. Overall it was a wonderful experience staying here!

This property is a great oceanfront location. My husband had both knees replaced earlier this year so we chose to stay on a first level condo. It worked out very well for him and our family. The need to use a washer/dryer outside the condo in a laundry area was inconvenient. It would have been best to have this in the condo. Overall, it is a condo in need of some updates but clean and comfortable.

I have to say this wasn't quite what we were expecting. The photos are deceiving. The tower this unit is in is set back quite a ways from the ocean. There are multiple balconies in view, along with the pool and courtyard inbetween the other buildings, which were cropped out of the photos. There is no washer and dryer as listed. There is a community coin operated laundry.
The couch is in desperate need of being replaced. The springs are shot. When you sit down you fall in, then have to climb out. I sat on a pillow all week to be able get up from the couch. That is the only seating other than 8 straight back dining chairs/barstools.
A big annoyance is the return air vent is in the living room and it roars, making it hard to hear the TV over it.
The bedroom closet is filled with stuff that should be in the storage closet. Good luck hanging a dress in there.
The upgraded kitchen and the welcome basket were really nice, and the floors are beautiful. The location of the complex is convenient.
I didn't communicate with the property manager, but I had to put a rating.

My partner and I had a great time during this short stay of ours in Maui and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay here in Kihei as it was central to everything. We were able to check out and experience activities in all the different regions in Maui, which included snorkeling, Road to Hana, and much more. We were super thankful for the advice and tips given to us by our hosts and definitely recommend this stay!
Check-in process was quick and smooth, parking was plentiful and accommodation was clean and had all the necessities we needed for a day in or out. We definitely will be back as the island has so much to offer!

First off, Joe was absolutely wonderful and very responsive when I had a question. A short walk to the beach. Beautiful, quiet, penthouse property with amazing views. The beds were actually comfortable unlike so many other properties.
Incredibly well appointed. Lots of blankets, towels, beach gear, laundry supplies, first aid kit, etc. The property was very close to other beaches, tons of restaurants, stores, basically anything you could want.
My mom, brother, and myself all loved it here and are looking forward to staying again!

My husband and I went for our honeymoon and the condo was just at the perfect location. The mountains on your left and the ocean view on your straight on the left from the porch. 10/10 would come back to this exact place again too!

This is a beautiful place with a good view and a well appointed kitchen. Very clean, just as listed. A beautiful beach is just a hundred yards away, amazing to experience morning walks with coffee in hand. Our stay unfortunately coincided with extremely loud drilling noises (ongoing maintenance in a neighboring unit), so we could not really stay in during the day time. The mattress in the bedroom could use a replacement - I have a lower back problem and prefer medium to firm surfaces, but this one sank a little bit in the middle.

The property was a great location. Quick access to downtown Kihei and not far from the airport. The property was well equipped with items needed for beach days. One recommendation would be to add an umbrella. Otherwise, very well stocked!
My only negative feedback would be regarding cleanliness. The baseboards had quite a bit of dirt in the crevices and the ceiling fan was extremely dusty. My husband got up on a chair and cleaned it off because the dust was coming over the blades and it could not be used until it was wiped down.
Overall, this is a great property to stay in for a couple or maybe a couple and their child. With a little better focus on cleanliness this place would be a go to recommendation from me.

Joe's property is very clean and beautifully decorated. The layout of the bedrooms are very nice too. We love the view of the ocean from the balcony and the beach is about 1 min walk from the property. Everything you need is provided and we have borrowed the beach chairs and towels for our snorkel outing. We also liked the location of the property, it is centrally located and if you want to stay not far from the airport and want to visit the Haleakala N.P, Paia, Makawao and the Kaanapali and Wailea area, this is the place you want to stay. Highly recommend this place.

Highly recommended. The property was clean, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The check-in process was seamless and stress-free, allowing us to start our vacation immediately. The online listing was spot-on, matching every description and detail perfectly. The communication with the property manager was efficient and friendly, providing all the necessary information and answering any questions promptly. The location was perfect, offering oceanfront views that made us feel connected to the beauty of Maui at all times. The highlight was definitely the stunning view from the lanai, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets every evening. Overall, an outstanding experience that surpassed all expectations!

Overall beautiful condo and beautiful location.
We had a communication issue when we first arrived. We were able to get in contact with the offsite manager after a couple of phone calls. It took about an hour to actually access the condo. More overall knowledge and communication about the condo would have made this a 5 star stay.

About Kihei:
If visiting Maui, Kihei is the smart choice since it is centrally located. Kihei is only 20 minutes from the airport versus 40 minutes for West Maui and Wailea. When touring Road to Hana or Haleakala you get a 20 minute jump on everyone else. From Kihei we were able to reach the far end of West Maui in 45 minutes. The smart choice if you stay in Kihei is the Kauhale Makai (Village By The Sea).
About Kauhale Makai:
Kauhale Makai has been our choice of vacation rental for all three of our trips to Maui so far, and our latest stay here confirms that we will continue to choose this property for future stays. The property is well maintained with lots of amenities. There are more birds here in the morning than there are at the nearby bird sanctuary!
About this suite:
This trip, we brought our 2 adult children with us to share in the splendor of Maui, and this suite was perfect. We saved money on meals by using the well-supplied kitchen to cook at home. The suite was clean and comfortable. Our experience with this suite confirms our overall positive experience in staying at Kauhale Makai!
