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.

Reviewer Comments: The wonderful workers I spoke with through the process of flight delays and changes to my arrival time were very quick and helpful to get me into the place on time. They went above and beyond for me to fully enjoy my stay with zero stress and zero worry. Best group I’ve ever stayed with! Will definitely be booking with them again down the road if I do this trip again.

First floor with patio was an outstanding benefit. The entire family had a blast. No AC in rooms but there are fans to push the cooler air (from AC in living room) into the rooms. Kitchen is lightly stocked. Near some great restaurants and an outstanding beach.

No fan in bathroom or a hood fan for cooking and we couldn't get the tv to work. But everything else was fine

Our group was impressed with location, pools, friendly tenants and access to Kihei. Condo was comfortable, clean and just right. I would definitely stay again and plan too. We loved it!

July 2026

The only negative for the whole trip was renting a car. Could have done the entire vacation without one. The rental was in the perfect spot for daily am swims, great food and drink options within walking. And the rental had the most amazing view, esp sunsets. Will definately visit again and spend the rental car money on a nice upscale dinner instead.

The place was good just the couch and bed were not comfortable for staying 2 months if it was just a week it probably would have been ok but not 2 months. The place was not very clean when we got there but it was ok.

July 2026

Overall, we had a good stay. The place was clean, the location in Kihei was excellent, and the price was reasonable for what it offered. It had the ALL the amenities we needed, they provided everything and overall it was a good value.There were a couple of downsides, though. The air conditioner was very noisy, especially at night, which made it a bit difficult to sleep. We also noticed a few small bugs around the bed and inside the towel cabinet. Since this is Hawaii, that may be somewhat unavoidable, but it’s still worth mentioning.Overall, this is a solid place if you’re looking for a reasonably priced stay in a great location. It’s not a luxury property, but for the price, it does the job well.

This was a great place to stay and we felt like the location was in the middle of everything. The view is beautiful and the beach is directly across the street. We had air conditioning when we needed it so that is not an issue. Mary Lou answered all of my questions right away. We would definitely stay here again.

Pictures of the view posted on the VRBO listing are absolutely accurate!!!! I figured there was heavy zooming, “creative” photography and editing, but you actually get the views portrayed!!! Perfect spot for 2. Would absolutely say here again. Although we did explore the island, we spent most days at Kam 2 across the street. We even saw 3 turtles swim by! The sink hole directly in front of the complex due to storm damage wasn’t really an issue for us. Minimal contraction noise and created a great traffic barrier! I also could have eaten at Moose’s next door every night! Only ate there. Twice but both things went had were my favorite meals of the entire trip! Our trip was perfect. Didn’t want to leave!Suzi was absolutely wonderful to work with. I see how they received a premier host rating! Mahalo!

Communication with the host the entire time was excellent! One of the beds had sand all over it so we stripped all of the beds and washed the sheets. The white bath towels in the unit have seen better days. I washed those as well and they still looked too dirty to use. We went and bought our own towels and washed them to use while we were there. There is only one air-conditioning unit in the condo so the condo remains very hot in the bedrooms. There are ceiling fans and floor fans that they have in the unit that you can aim into the bedrooms to help cool it down a little bit but it will still be warm in the bedrooms. The toilet seat in the secondary bathroom has also seen better days and is scuffed up. The view from the unit is really nice and has a partial ocean view! They also have some beach chairs in one of the closets to use, which is a nice touch. We didn’t use them but it was good to know they were there if we ever needed them. They have beach towels for visitors to use as well.The location is excellent! The parking spot is close to the unit. The beach, shops, and restaurants are within walking distance.

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: The condos are in a great location with several beaches right across the street as well as shops and restaurants within walking distance. Our self check in was super easy and our condo was perfectly appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, with the exception of any coffee, which we remedied by picking up a local blend at Foodland as there was a coffee pot in the unit. All the decor in our condo was perfect for a beach theme and the unit was clean and well stocked with the necessities. We also loved that there was a closet full of beach equipment - a wagon, coolers, chairs, snorkels and umbrella. We only needed to rent some boogie boards, which we really appreciated. We would definitely choose to stay at Kihei Akahi again!

The condo was very close to the beach, has all the things you would need. It does get pretty hot in the condo during the summer months, it was about 85 or warmer. The fans do help out a ton. Access to 2 pools! It was very clean and comfy.

We had such a lovely time staying at this condo. It was clean, very well stocked, and was the perfect place for a beach vacation! The host Dave provided great communication and thorough tips and guides to staying in Kīhei. The lanai has a beautiful green view and was my favorite part of the condo. I highly recommend staying here!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was better than I could imagine! It's in a fantastic location right across the street from the beach with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The condo was well stocked with anything you could need for the beach and household items. It is very well maintained as well as the whole complex. Everything was very clean. The bedroom windows do face the walkway and you can hear noise but the quiet hours made sure there weren't many disturbances at nice. This is a really nice quiet area that gives small beach town feel. During our stay there was construction in the street from the floods, but we didn't mind because it cut down on traffic! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone and hopefully when we come back to Maui we will be staying here again!

The location was perfect with the beach right across the street and tons of shopping and dining options a mile away. The condo was great. Very quiet building.The bed was quite comfortable (and didn't aggrivate my bad back). The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and a variety of cooking and serving utensils. Loved sitting on the lanai for morning coffee while taking in the view. The grounds and amenities in the community were clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. We are already looking forward to booking Kihei Akahi C509 for our next Maui vacation. Such a gem!!

An advance warning about the washed-out main beach road construction closure right in front of the property access would have been helpful. This repair project will take some time this summer!! We could not find the promised front entry keypad light (stolen??). the entry area is quite dark!The promised 6 inch bed couch mattress is quite thin and insufficient for an adult to sleep on (I slept on couch cushions).While the unit was generally quite clean, kitchen utensils & some equipment had been insufficiently cleaned.Some items in the beach equipment storage area were caked with much sand (we only used 2 beach chairs).What to do with used linens, towels, etc. ?
Horst S.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The condo is very well stocked with linens, beach gear, and kitchen equipment. ACs in both the living room and bedroom kept us nice and cool. Wifi was fast (500mbps).It's a nice quick walk to the beach, with a beautiful view from the lanai. The condo grounds are great too - safe parking, good elevators, warm swimming pools. We would love to return.
