Wonderful views from the lani. Rooms were very comfortable. Well stocked condo. ABC store right across the street and a fabulous bakery and ice cream. Easy access to many locations.

Overall we had an incredible time during our stay at the condo. Kitchen was well stocked with high end cookware, brand new appliances. Beach items (chairs, snorkeling gear, towels, boogie boards) were so great to have. The beach was beautiful and quieter than the resort beaches. Jeep Wrangler 4 door fit in the underground parking with an inch or two to spare, but wouldn't have been an issue to park it on the street, there were always spots available.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this unit many times in the past. We like the location close to the beach and away from the commercial part of Kihei. The birds and waves are a sound we enjoy hearing 24/7 as we don't use the air conditioner so cannot comment on it.The unit was well stocked and the starter supplies great. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had no issues while we were there. I was VERY happy to see the owners had finally put in a large cooler with 2 large ice packs to use for day trips. That was a great surprise. The description of the unit online needs to be updated as the owner has taken out the phone so there is no long distant calling to family to let you know you arrived or local calling to make inquiries or reservations during your stay. We will return to Kealia Resort as it is a relaxing place to unwind.

Reviewer Comments: Kealia resort on Maui was the perfect location for us to wind down and relax for the 2nd half of our trip after spending a few days on Oahu. The condo is in terrific shape, clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The views are amazing and the pool and calm waters a treat. I was very happy we chose it for its location as well; we were centrally located for all of our excursions. There is a little bit of road noise that can be heard in the bedroom at night, but it did not disrupt my wife and I. The complex overall is quiet and we would return for sure.

This location & views cannot be beat!! We were scoping other condos during our visit, but there wasn’t a single other one we would have rather stayed at! Enjoyed sipping our coffee out on the lanai every morning as the sun rose until it warmed up the beach & pool area enough to go swimming. Loved being steps away from such a nice, quiet beach that hardly ever had more than a handful of people on it. So nice to be able to pop up to the condo to grab more sunscreen, snacks, or drinks. Definitely recommend staying here, we will be returning!! Thanks for helping make a great vacay!

We had a great stay at the Kealia Resort in Maui. The instructions that we received for getting to our building and getting inside were great, and there was a parking garage and assigned space, which made having a rental car super easy. The condo building was generally quiet, though we could hear some beach and street noise with our windows open, but nothing preventing us from relaxing or sleeping. The sounds of the crashing waves were actually very nice at night. The bunkbeds in the unit were great for the kids, and the king size bed was close by so we could hear them and keep an eye on them. The unit itself was very clean, and there was a beautiful view of the beach and ocean from our lanai. There is a short, small beach right behind the building and we usually had that section to ourselves when playing in the sand. There were always people walking up and down the beach, but rarely anyone actually sitting anywhere near us in the sand. The building provided some sand toys near the washing station which was great for the kids since our individual unit didn't have any. The building was just a short drive from town, and from most things, which was nice, though it wasn't really walkable with two small children. Overall, it was really great and we highly recommend it.

The kitchen and living room were small but ok. The bathroom was beyond small. You have to stand on the side of the toilet to close the door. I am not very big but I assume this would be a problem for a bigger person. The door did not close unless the handle had it turned so the lock was inside the door. The bedroom was a nice size but the air conditioning unit was very noisy and if that had run smoothly, it would have blocked out some of the noise from the cars passing VERY close to the building. We stayed there before and knew about the noise but we had a fan that gave us some relief and the unit was located at the back area. There just wasn't any getting away from the loud cars and trucks. The machine that was supposed to be covering up some of the noise, (white noise?)was very loud. My husband and I bought two sets of Bose headphones which blocked out the noise completely but not the most comfortable to have on the entire stay! The palm trees block the sunset but you can see a small area of the ocean. (around the corner). The representatives we spoke to were nice. We were gone most of the day so it was basically a night problem and if noisy cars and trucks don't bother you, and the bathroom wasn't a problem for you, this may be your place to stay!

Good location, right on the beach. You can hear and see the ocean from your balcony and living room. The checking process and communication with the host were super easy. We were disappointed about the bathroom. The shower curtain, walls, and ceiling were full of mold. For the amount of money you pay to stay in Kihei, they could have changed the curtain and cleaned up or wiped the mold.

We had the best 10 days at Lydia’s place! It is conveniently located close to most big sights (Haleakala, the start of the road to Hana, etc) are only 20-30 minutes away. Lydia is so thoughtful, she has SO many little things at her condo that we hadn’t thought of bringing. She also has beach chairs, a beach umbrella and a cooler which was really useful since we couldn’t fly with all that stuff. The views from the balcony are exactly as pictured. We would absolutely stay at Lydia’s place again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Communication from property management was great. Condo had positives and negatives: AC worked great, kitchen and bathroom were well supplied, location was great. All the windows leaked onto walls and floors during a rainstorm, the dryer kept shutting off indicating the clean filter on every load, the screen on the slider kept sticking and going off track. Sherry was very helpful in managing the wet floors and made sure all our wet towels were cleaned by the maid, after the rain storm.

The property worked out very well for us. The kitchen had everything we needed for the cooking we did. We used the great lawn area every day as there both sunny and shaded areas all along their beach front. Note, that there is a coral reef right out front but swimming off the beach in front of the canoe club next door we found only sand. Also, unit 309 is close to the road and road noise is an issue. But shut the doors and windows and turn on the ac and we slept great.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just about perfect for us!Second visit to Kealia. ONLY sad thing is that the long perfect beach walk is no longer safe feeling due to homeless encampments and their occupants whose dish washing in the ocean is the good part. The negative is that they are a bit frightening to encounter as they seem devoid of law abiding behaviors. Of course one can stay in their room and on the resort property and VERY much enjoy the visible surroundings! For walkers this is a very sad loss. Hopefully Hawaiian authorities will soon clean up the situation.

Reviewer Comments: As a former owner at Kealia Resort we love coming back to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. There is nothing quite like the vibe of a small resort right on the ocean and having a 6 mile, un-crowded beach to walk on.Perhaps the only downside, and really nothing the resort has any control of are the encampments in the treed area along the beach. I am surprised that the county of Maui with all of the tourist money coming in hasn't done more to help the homeless and under-homed residents of Maui.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got to wake up and walk on the beach every morning. We chose this location and rental over the expensive resort experiences because of two things. The proximity to the beach and the ability to make our own food. Having a kitchen was essential for us and we were very happy with how things went. We were really happy with our stay in Kihei and would return again. Perks of the rental were all the towels, washer and dryer, and the beach equipment for the kids.

Place was just the right amount of space for me and my daughter. Bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the view. Pool was nice too. North Kehei is not my favorite place on the island but it makes getting to all the other parts of the island very convenient. Definitely plan to drive about 15-30 minutes to get to beaches with great snorkeling. And if you want to watch on-demand movies, bring your Apple TV or use your computer. TV in unit works great for regular tv. Had a lovely stay.

We were in #309 and it was clean, cute, and had everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation, down to the aloe for sunburns. We loved that it was just a little removed from the hustle and bustle of the main Kihei strip, very peaceful but super easy and quick to get to anywhere. 15-20 minutes to our fave beaches (Kam 1 & Ulua) and gives you a head start (over the west side) for Road to Hana and Haleakala. Sherry was friendly and available. We just left yesterday and can’t wait to go back! Mahalo Kealia resort!

This one bedroom condo was exactly what we were looking for in a nine-day vacation rental. We enjoyed breakfasts and afternoon happy hour on the lanai with a beautiful view of the ocean and green foliage. The kitchen was a perfect size for our needs. We enjoyed lengthy beach walks going both directions of the beach from the building. We made plans to return to this condo before we even left! Note - a rental car is needed to get to the Kihei restaurants or grocery store.

Many times there is something to be desired when checking in to a property because the photos highlight the few best parts. However, walking in we were so happy it was exactly perfect and what we expected! Whale watching from the balcony was great and the comfort of the condo amazing! Location, location, location! Nice quaint quiet spot but near everything! Property so pretty and nice to hang out outside! We are very happy with everything here!

Perfect location on a long stretch of beach to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Condo was neat, clean, nicely decorated, well equipped kitchen, beach supplies, etc for our stay. Lovely balcony to sip coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the view. Owners were the best hosts-special touch was a celebration basket of treats and champagne. Perfect, quiet location to walk the beach, get coffee, farmer’s market, explore the island, eat out or bbq at the condo. Thank you Sandy and Frank for making our vacation special! Hope to visit again in the future!

The condo was an a central location to everything and not long of a drive to other parts of the island. As others have described the condo needs an update/renovation as the building is rundown, we didn’t mind much as we were always out and about. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, pool noodles, and cooler you could use. We didn’t swim at this beach as it had a high tide. Check-in was easy and the manager was very responsive with any questions. We enjoyed our stay but for the condition of the condos not sure if we would stay here again unless they are renovated.

This is a very comfortable, well equipped unit. The view from balcony overlooks pool and ocean. It was mostly very quiet except for the sound of the waves. The unit is close to many restaurants, food carts, a wonderful bakery and shave ice place. We were there to whale watch. So a bonus was that we were not far from Ma'alaea Harbor a departure point for Pacific Whale Foundation trips. We also enjoyed the bird life at the Kealia Wildlife refuge and pond. Our only issue was that during our entire stay several kids were in the pool seemingly all day including the adults only time.

Although smallish this condo makes up for it with everything starting with the views everyday. The condo has everything we needed. The room was thoughtfully outfitted for everything we needed. The kitchen provided all the necessary equipment for our needs. The bedroom also had plenty of linens and comfort. The living room was also comfortable to relax. The Lanai was good for meals or relaxing overlooking the ocean. The grounds were well kept and the pool was clean. The parking garage kept our car clean dry and secure. Everything was easily accessed by their elevator. The beach was never crowded and easy to access. We found a great bakery within walking distance down the beach next to a convenience store. The condo is centrally located to get anywhere around the island or just stay right there. Just 10 minutes to restaurants downtown Kihei. And 10 minutes to the harbor for boating activities. We enjoyed all of it. We’ve stayed at a bunch of condos on the island’s and this one hits all the right notes for us. The road noise in the commuting hours is a drawback but the evenings are quiet. Out on the lanai you don’t notice it over the sound of the waves.

Unit 306 is well appointed, with everything you will need for your stay from beach chairs, to kitchen utensils and starter supplies (laundry soap, dish soap, etc.) Unit appeared clean, and well maintained. Bed and pillows were super comfy! The bathroom is on the small side, and the shower curtain hangers could use an update, as they are old metal, and kept falling off but it was a minor inconvenience. View of the gardens and ocean were awesome from this unit. Kealia Property is well taken care of, clean and pool is very nice option when the waves are wild. This area can be windy but viewing of whales and kite surfers was awesome from the property and the unit. Communication and checkin/checkout was easy and reliable. Be sure to head over to Dina's Sandwitch, located nearby for happy hour/lunch or dinner. Great Mai Tais.Check out Maalaea Harbor for excursions and dining - Tante's Fishmarket Restaurant and Bar is really close to Kealia; has great dining at exceptionally reasonable prices with great happy hour specials - so close to 'home base.'We look forward to our next visit to Kealia and Maui.

March 2023

The complex is old (40+years) but very well maintained. The condo is nice but it is small. Perfect for a couple. The location is great with a grass area and the beach right at the complex!The bedroom is large, unfortunately whoever designed the floor plan missed the target. There is a sitting area in the bedroom which could have been used for a dining area. It's a wasted space. The condo needs some TLC. The walls have scuff marks and the basedboards need painting. The toilet seat needs to be replaced. The bathroom is TINY. The door doesn't even close. You literally have to lean against the shower door to close the door to get in the shower. Not a biggie but this was difficult for us. The refrigerator needs to be replaced as has rust on the door and shelf. Bring scissors to open packages because there are none in the kitchen. There are more minor things I could say but don't want to discourage anyone from renting. The owners are very nice and respond quickly. I wish they would go to the condo and take a real close look at what improvements need to be made, especially for the price we paid.

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: We always stay on Sugar Beach, and this was our second stay at Kealia Resort. (different units each time). Unit 306 is well appointed, with everything you will need for your stay from beach chairs, to kitchen utensils and starter supplies (laundry soap, dish soap, etc.) Unit appeared clean, and well maintained. Bed and pillows were super comfy! The bathroom is on the small side, and the shower curtain hangers could use an update, as they are old metal, and kept falling off but it was a minor inconvenience. View of the gardens and ocean were awesome from this unit. Kealia Property is well taken care of, clean and pool is very nice option when the waves are wild. This area can be windy but viewing of whales and kite surfers was awesome from the property and the unit. Communication and checkin/checkout was easy and reliable. Be sure to head over to Dina's Sandwitch, located nearby for happy hour/lunch or dinner. Great Mai Tais.Check out Maalaea Harbor for excursions and dining - Tante's Fishmarket Restaurant and Bar is really close to Kealia; has great dining at exceptionally reasonable prices with great happy hour specials - so close to 'home base.'We look forward to our next visit to Kealia and Maui. Mahalo for sharing your vacation rental with us.

This is my first ever negative VRBO review. The property was not clean (dirt drips on walls and cupboards, piles of crumbs under furniture, light bulb out, tiny flies in the unit, water rings, smears, etc on glass we never touched, spills from unknown sources in cabinets) Kitchen appliances worked well, Glad to have the washer drier. Tired linens and dishware. The property felt much smaller than pictured. Poor value for price

This property is dated and it needs some TLC to clean it up. It is a great location with a great view.

Stay for 10 days and had a blast. This property came with snorkel gear which was nice. It was very clean and it had everything you need for your stay. Communication with owner was easy and quick. I love how the outside had a grass area with shade. Overall we love this place and plan to come back.

We stayed here for part of our honeymoon. I truly never wanted to leave! It was the perfect place to stay on Maui. The condo was filled with things we needed and then some! The beach chairs were helpful as the beach was just a few steps away! It was quiet and peaceful. We hope to stay here again! Lydia was super helpful and very responsive! If you are thinking about staying here--Do it! You won't regret it!

This property is well stocked for having fun at the beach with boogie boards, snorkel gear, and beach chairs. Beach access is very easy...down the elevator and out the back door. Nice walking beach. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, pots and pans, etc. Very good communication with owner. We had one small issue which was promptly attended to. Great place to stay in Maui!

Good experience but appears we paid a bit too much for extra fees compared to others at same local.

Good central location for those who plan on visiting all parts of the island. Clean and comfortable. Secure underground parking a big plus. Loved having all the beach equipment from boogies boards and chairs to coolers and an umbrella. Wasn’t able to enjoy the lanai due to high winds. Great to be able to cook in the condo. Nice appliances and kitchen tools. Wagons in the basement by the elevator were very nice. Thanks for a good stay. Mahalo!!!

The property is lovely and we love the location. However, we will not stay in this unit again. It is in serious need of updating. The bed needs a new mattress, the couch is very uncomfortable and the place needs painting. Pick a different unit and you will have a lovely stay.

This property is beautiful inside and outside. Best sunset on the beach. The only thing was the air in the master bedroom, there was none. It was okay for us because we could keep the door open and fan on. It was well supplied with cooking items. The grill was so good to have access to.

Overall nice and relaxing spot right next to the beach. Communication with property manager was quick. I would rate this 3.5 as we had issues with parking that was promptly brought up to the property manager. Listing did not state a height limit for the parking garage (6 ft) and our Jeep rental did not fit. We ended up having to find parking along the highway throughout our stay (definitely not something you want to be worrying about on vacation). Management was not willing to accommodate.

This condo was very clean and comfortable. The view from the deck was amazing. We even saw whales from the deck with our binoculars (don't forget to bring yours) and the sunsets were beautiful. Loved the condo and location. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful view, resort is nice. Only issue was beach at resort is rocky & shallow. Great central area with beachside boardwalk for miles.

Beautiful sunsets out the window or a short walk to the beach. At first hard to find space to eat together. We were able to successfully operate peritoneal dialysis there. Otherwise, quite considerate in having everything you need. Owners communicate well and are very helpful. The on site caretaker very helpful as well. Spent 2 weeks this year, would like to go back for 4 next year.

We island hopped and stayed at 3 places while on our trip. This one was our favorite hands down. The balcony was large and directing in front of an amazing beach view. We watched and listened to whales in the evening. Lawn chairs and other things where provided. Anything we needed was there. Dish soap , laundry soap and even coffee the small touches made it such a smooth relaxing stay. The pillows where comfortable and they even had more stored if needed along with Beach towels as well. I like new experiences but if I go back to Maui I would stay here again absolutely!!!

Everything was just as expected. The pool was a bit on the cool side but that was nothing to do with the owners. I was a bit disappointed at not getting the golf channel on the tv, but that was a minor gripe. The unit was well stocked with utensils, crockery and cooking gear. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. Traffic noise was loud at times but one became accustomed to it. There was no inter unit noise on the property. I would stay there again! A little problem that we had with the fridge was fixed the same day. All in all a great property!
