Unfortunately the property / rental we had was quite dated. Things were not woeking properly

Beautiful, clean apartment in a great location only minutes to the beach. The beds were comfortable, the pack-and-play and extra beach toys (floaties, life vests, etc) were in the closet. The local beach 2 minutes away had big sea turtles cruising up and down the shoreline. What a treat!! Restaurants were a 2-5 minute walk. We loved that it was ground floor and the kids could play outside in the garden. We used the pools and BBQs too, which were so much fun for parents to relax and kids to play. The only unpleasant things were the kids hair turning green after swimming in the pool for a long time. We could hear loud footsteps every morning from the people living above us. The master bed squeaked quite loudly as we got in and out. Overall an excellent stay. Would stay again!

We were close to our family residence and to the ocean beaches. If was not too fancy, but provided everything we needed for a pleasurable stay.

Awesome location and most important to me is it is Clean. The place has updated flooring which isn’t shown in the pics. Nice and close to the lower pool. My only issue is the pool has too many rules so not the best pool for kids. It’s more suited for the seniors. I think one pool should be for kids and the other for the seniors. However we had a blast with the kids directly at the beach. The beach across street is beautiful!!!!

It doesn’t get any better! Cozy, charming, quiet, well appointed condo walking distance to the best snorkeling beach in Maui. Beautiful, clean pool steps from your lanai. Everything you need from kitchen items to coolers to masks to beach chairs. We came for a week, wished we had booked for a month.

A beautiful light filled space with great views of the ocean, sunsets and palm trees. Great location across the street from a lovely beach and walking distance to stores and restaurants. The bed just needs a new mattress to make it a perfect rental!

Before we arrived, the host sent check in instructions and also included information about where to shop, entertainment, and sightseeing. This information was a Plus! The condo was supplied with beach needs, a totally equipped kitchen, a/c in living room and bedroom, although it wasn’t needed. Host responded quickly to emails. I’ll happily stay here again. Wonderful vacation location

What an amazing condo, in a such a perfect location. Step outside your door and walk straight down to the beach. We’ve stayed at several units in this complex, this was our favorite. The unit has been recently updated and it was perfect, and so clean! There are well cared for beach equipment and towels for guests to use. Our girls loved playing out on the lawn right through the back patio. The owner was responsive and great with communication, but nothing was wrong so we didn’t even need to worry about anything, We’d love to stay here again!!

Property was exactly as listed. Bed was comfy. The cross breeze that went through the place was lovely. We had no need for the air conditioner. Management company was very responsive when we had an issue with the internet. Would definately stay here again.

Pros: across from beach, good pre stay communication with host. There was a view of the sunset. Cons: place smaller than pictures (especially living room)showed. The mirror in picture makes it look bigger. The key code was old and difficult to use. It took us half an hour to secure the key when we left. The host was not there for checkout issues. The place was funkier than we thought. The patio is very small and best for one person to look at the view of ocean. In a busy part of Kihei. The bed was soft after 2 nights. The air flow was less than optimal as the living room and window wind did not directly get to bedroom. The host requested that we not use the AC, in the "Guidebook" which seemed odd with the airflow issues.

Awesome beach just across the street. Very convenient location to travel to where you want to go during day. Company were great when you needed something there were there to help. Very comfortable unit. Bed was comfortable I would recommend

Owner was very organized and reponsive. A pleasure to deal with. The condo matched the pictures. The view was spectacular and we spent late afternoon on the balcony most days. The condo was located in Bldg D which is at the back of the property, so it was very quiet. Well equipped kitchen and beach stuff, even flippers! The property is beautifully maintained and there is a botanical walk. Maui does not recycle kitchen scraps or plastic containers, but there is a very good recycle spot a few blocks away for bottles, cans, newpapers, etc. We enjoyed the condo very much and afer a few days, it felt like home.

Really enjoyed our time here. Very clean, great view, great location. The apartment had more of the things you would need then i've ever seen in other place i've rented and i've rented many. The community and the pools were very nice as well. We had one issue due to a broken leg of one of the guest and the management/owner took care of it right away and resolved our issue. very thankful for that. Would love to visit again, -K

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit had everything we need. Sofabed looks newer then in the listing photos. No a/c but ceiling fans, and could open all doors and get breeze. Great view from the 6th floor. Only suggestion would be replace dresser drawers- they would get stuck all the time.

Great location, across the street from the beach, walking distance to many nice places to eat and shop and very quiet. The grounds are planted with lovely tropical flowers and plants and are well cared for. There are two small pools which are cleaned daily with lots of chairs and tables and grills.

The unit was well appointed and had a great view. We only had 36 hours so really didn’t use anything besides the beach towels which were provided. Building D at Kihei Akahi definitely has the best views and from the 5th floor the sunsets are beautiful.

Was get stay. Room clean and well equipped. A couple things: 1- 2 tiles on the outside porch were lifting- needs attention 2- knives in kitchen were so dull we had to purchase knives and a cutting board 3- fridge and nightlight (by bathroom sink) were burned out 4- beach umbrella was broken. These are just things that need attention, but we had a wonderful stay, in a great unit with a beautiful view.

We loved the condo and its location. The condo was clean and comfortable for our family of four. The host was very responsive and the property managers were helpful and friendly. The condo is located across the street from a great beach for families and snorkeling. It is also an easy walk to a number of restaurants. We would definitely recommend staying here.

This unit was convenient to everything in Kihea, left the car parked most of the time and walked locally. Very close to the beach as well.

The location was fantastic. Just like what was written. The condo was great except one thing which we would never rent it again. Way too hot at night! Neither Aircon or natural breeze could make it to the bedroom. Tiny tiny window at the top. Basically sleeping in a box. Poor sleep even though a comfortable bed.

This property was everything we hoped it would be, and more! Centrally located, steps from the beach, shops, groceries, gear rentals, and a spectacular view overlooking one of the best beaches in Kihei. We didn't miss a sunset, either from the lanai or the beach. Kamaole Beach II is the perfect location. Lots of fun sand, boogie boarding on stormy days and right beside good snorkeling on calmer days on Beach III. As for the unit: Plenty of beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear and 2 boogie boards) meant we only had to rent the odd thing when what's there didn't fit. The unit was clean, well appointed, comfy beds, functional bathrooms, good lights and fans. AC in the main living room, master and 2nd bdr. It was well stocked with towels and toiletries left by the owner and previous tenants, including shampoo, sunscreen, aloe and even hair mousse! The kitchen was stocked with spices and cooking supplies as well which meant we didn't need to buy a whole package of spice for one meal. There was even coffee for our first morning! (Thank Gawd!) The ONLY thing I could possibly complain about with this unit was the size of the kitchen, it is a galley with only one entrance = cramped. More than one person in there was a little chaotic, but we got used to it as the week went on. I wouldn't want to give up that pantry space though, so that was a definite plus! We were very pleased with our stay here.

The view from the 6th (top) lanai was amazing. The condo was small, but had everything we needed. Very clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

Our condominium room was very nice.! We loved our time here.! Who wouldnt' ?? We saw humpback whales breeching in the bay from the outside balcony.. With newer granite countertops, and more modern upgrades, , we appreciated the cleanliness, and true to Hawaiian culture style furniture and decor. It is a 3 minute walk to the Kamiole beach #2,. and walking distance to shops and grocery stores. ...Thank you Kathy the owner, we also appreciated your own artwork in the condo. Keep it up.

This was our 4th time staying at Kihei Akahi and we had a fantastic time. The view from the 5th floor was incredible. Everything we needed was in the condo and even though it has air conditioning we didn't use it as there was always a breeze blowing. We certainly hope to be back again in the near future. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautifull condo. Bill and Linda
