What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


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.

Kihei Akahi gets high marks for location and vibe. Most guests loved being directly across from Kamaole Beach Park II (with I and III a short walk), plus dozens of cafés, shave ice spots, and shops nearby. The grounds are beautifully maintained with two clean pools, BBQ areas, tennis/pickleball, and a relaxed, generally quiet atmosphere set back from the road in buildings C and D. Many units offer lanai views of the ocean and sunsets—on upper floors you can often spot whales in season—while assigned parking and elevators make access easy.

Condos are consistently described as clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Kitchens tend to be stocked for cooking, and most hosts provide beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, sometimes snorkel sets), along with in‑unit washer/dryers. Guests appreciate the value for South Maui and the “home away from home” feel that works for couples and families alike. Units vary from studios to two‑bedrooms; many note comfy beds and responsive hosts or managers who communicate well and address issues quickly.

Common trade‑offs to know: air‑conditioning varies by unit—some have efficient split A/C in living room and bedroom, others only a living‑room unit, and a few rely on ceiling fans and the strong cross‑breeze; bedrooms can run warm in hotter months. Expect a peaceful complex, but occasional island sounds (early roosters, garbage trucks) or road noise for units nearest South Kihei Blvd; upper buildings are quieter but up a slight hill. Pools are simple (no hot tub), starter supplies differ by host, and a handful of units feel more dated than others. If A/C in the bedroom, view level, or modern finishes matter, check the specific listing details; overall, stays here are praised for walkability, sunsets, and easy beach days.

A/C was super helpful with hot weather. View is gorgeous !

Everything about this was great! The provided items like beach chairs that turn into backpacks, umbrella, coolers and wake boards... so cool. The hosts where great and we happened to meet them the day we left. Very nice and a pleasure to talk to. We sat on the balcony and watched the sunset over the ocean and the brightest rainbow we have ever seen. So the view is really great. I would stay in this condo forever if i could.

The title says it all. This place is amazing. It has everything you need and even things you didn't know you needed. We really liked that the location was in the back of the complex away from any traffic noise. The entire place was spotless and we really appreciated the starter soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The furniture and bed was extremely comfortable. The AC is an added bonus although with the trade winds blowing, we really didn't need it. The location is perfect for walking to a lot of great restaurants and the beach. Kathy and Leo were great with the communication and always available to answer any questions. Can't wait to book again for next fall.

Recently spent an excellent 4 weeks at this cozy unit in Kihei Akahi. The location is amazing with Kam 2 literally across the street and some food/shops walkable. With our rental car the rest of the island was in easy reach. The unit has beach chairs and body boards for use as well as at least one beach umbrella and a couple of coolers.The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the unit is starting to show its age and we did run into a couple of issues. However, Janet (contact on the island) was extremely responsive and worked to address them promptly and definitely with the spirit of aloha! Would 100% stay again and recommend it for a couple to enjoy a relaxing stay in paradise. The sofa appears to convert to a comfortable bed but space may be a bit tight for more than two adults. All in all, excellent experience. Mahalo Leilani!

The rental is nice and in a great location. It is well-equipped with basic essentials including everything you need for a day at the beach (which is right across the street). The property is maintained nicely with pools and outdoor grills. The host is quick to respond. I will definitely keep this place at the top of my list for places to stay the next time we visit Maui! Mahalo!

For this review, there were two seeded questions to help get the review started: DId the host seem welcoming and where the amenities in good condition. Interesting way to start, both were a no. The communication with the host was not good at all, it felt like I was interacting with an automated system. And the amenities in the condo were less than impressive. Everything you'd expect was there, it was just shabby. It felt like an apartment for a first year college student.Now for the good, and there was a lot of good! The condo was huge! Lots of space, rooms were very big. The view was as advertised, amazing. We watched sunsets every night. The noise from the road was unpleasant, but we knew that going in so not much of an issue. The condo complex was great, very well maintained. The pool (we only used one of the two) was excellent and the tennis/pickleball court was well used. Check in was a breeze. The location for us was perfect. Kam 2 is one of our favorite beaches and we were within casual walking distance from shops, restaurants, coffee, acai bowls and a bonus...the Wednesday market was a block away.TL:DR - nice place but I wouldn't rent again. If host wanted to update the amenities, this could easily be a 4 or 5 star review!

Easy booking, easy check-in process, Excellent location, excellent full furnishings! It accommodated the 6 of us comfortably! We would definitely stay in this unit again! Would've given a five star review, but it could've been a bit cleaner. The kitchen needs a good deep cleaning, the couches/sofa beds need better cleaning, the floors under the couches & beds need not be ignored and the walls need to be cleaned or paint touch ups. Overall, the unit probably needs more frequent deep cleanings, but we weren't unhappy with our stay!

More run down than i expected. Kind of noisy. Wouldn’t stay here again.
Carolyn W.
November 2025

The bedrooms would not cool down because the air conditioner did not cool down the bedrooms, and one room was so hot that you had to sleep on the couch. The owner said to open windows and use fans, which were not at all effective. We immediately noticed you could not walk barefoot because your feet would turn black from grit and dirt, and white socks got dirty quickly. There were not enough bath towels, and it would have been nice to have an extra set. The location is very good.

The condo had everything you could want. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking equipment you needed. Beach chairs, towels and sun umbrellas were also available. Condo was quiet, right across from the pool and right across the street from the beach. Shops and restaurants all around.

Our vacation was amazing! The place was even better than we expected — super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The AC worked great, and the view from the patio was just beautiful. The beach is right across the street and honestly one of the best around. We already know where we’ll stay next time — we loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay at Kihei Akahi! The location is perfect to enjoy multiple beaches , restaurants and shops! The central location allows for easy access to reach the rest of the island! The property is always clean with friendly staff! The condo was beautifully decorated and very clean! The property host was outstanding and their communication was excellent! Check in and out was seamless! We always book a water view condo but we really enjoyed the lanai and view we had! It felt like more space on the ground level and no elevators! The condo location in the building was very quiet and the air conditioning in both rooms was amazing! We will definitely try to stay there again!

Kathy was welcoming. The amenities were generally fine. But we would not rent this unit again for two reasons, lack of AC and hallway noise. Regardless of Kathy's assurances, which I bought into, that open windows and fans would provide cooling, they did not !! With temps in the 90s each day the unit was hot day and night !! Sleeping was very uncomfortable. Also with the bedroom windows open to the outside hallway and elevator lobby, the noise repeatedly woke us up. We spent most of our time with family in another unit with AC. We would not rent this unit again and will not recommend it to others.

Staying in this unit has made our vacations so much easier. We really appreciated all the accommodations. Small things like having shampoo, soap, toilet paper and paper towels, beach chairs, beach towels, cooler and so much more made us feel like we were stepping in our own vacation house, allowing us to enjoy our stay without shopping around. The location was

Great layout. Both the bedroom and bathroom are very isolated from the living room and kitchen. I was able to get up and make breakfast and watch tv without waking partner. Great facilities and all the beach amenities you could ask for. My only small complaint was the size of the tv in the bedroom. Its like a 20" monitor

Our time here was great. The best thing about it was the location. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within a couple minutes walk. And then there's the beach. First, it's across the street! To make it even better, it's clean, not super crowded, and the waves are pretty gentle. The apartment is really nice and comfortable. I was impressed with the kitchen. Plenty of room and newer appliances. I would happily stay here again.

This is a very nice, clean, cozy, studio condo. It had everything I needed to make my Maui getaway great. The view was very nice. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a great meal.

October 2025

Amazing location and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! The only thing I would say needed improvement was the WiFi. It only worked for a few minutes then it cut out and would work intermittently. Overall we had good cell service in the room so it wasn’t a huge deal. Thanks for making your condo available! Would definitely book again.

Our host Daniel was very welcoming and provided all the information we needed to check in and check out quickly, which helped us have less stress when arriving and departing. The room was clean, had a suitable air conditioner, and was as described online, so we really enjoyed our stay. It is at a great location as it is within walking distance to some beaches, shops and restaurants, and is within short driving distance for most activities on the island of Maui. We had a fantastic time!

The cleanest it has been in the 3 times we have stayed there was this trip. Some updates like newer sheets as last trip they had holes and smoke decectors were installed. The onsite property management was good, and communicated when I called about a napkin with handwritten "out of order" on the washer door. The PM confirmed it was broken and they had been waiting for weeks for part to come in. The temporary solution was to let us into beighboring unit that didnt have a check in until halfway through our stay...so good news is there was a partial solution so we had clean clothes for second half of trip but bad news was we didnt have a washer second half of trip and this is a key part of why we stay in condos with W/D. I wish someone would have reached out prior to our arrival, as we would have packed more for the stay...overall the location makes up for the lack of washer and prior cleanlinest issues and worn out bedding.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: this condo is nice but the bedroom is so far from any of the air conditioning it was way to hot. The fans helped but you had to freeze out the living room to get any air to the bedroom. Rentals Maui is a great way to book any trip
