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.

Kitchen complete with accessories and love that there’s a washer and dryer we can use. The shopping cart helped us a lot in moving things from the parking to the 3rd floor. Love that they also have beach umbrella, chairs and mats we can use. Thanks, Becky and Mark.

Daniel's studio was just what we needed for 2 adults who wanted to be able to do laundry and have easy parking in a close to beaches location. Beaches are at the end of the block and walkable. Plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream, bars (one with nightly live music), the cinnamon roll place etc. While we found ourselves in the West Maui area more often, we really loved the South Kiehi area (where Daniel's studio is). From a woman's perspective, I loved that the property's hair dryer had a 'cool' setting. When you're somewhere where it's always hot, but you still want to be able to dry your hair, this was a much better hair dryer than I've had in other places. I know it's a minor thing, but it made me happy. He also had a fan in the bathroom. Also, uniquely, this is the first VRBO property were the host had flashlights available. I really appreciated this also, just in case! I actually used one to walk from where the location is on the property to the street at night. The only negative I can think of is I would have a better lit parking area. The assigned car spot is in the back corner, the darkest part of the lot. But I was never alone so this was not a huge deal. Mahalo to Daniel!

The property is listed as a studio “penthouse” but it is a basic studio at best. The location is good, however…-the air conditioner is totally inadequate considering the unit gets intense western sun all afternoon-the TV has 3 remotes and requires a degree in electrical engineering to operate-no dishwasher-no suitcase racks, no towel rails and many windows with no light control blinds-the main problem is there was no relaxing place to sit and relax when not sleeping in the bed.Finally, the sunsets are nice but there’s no nice place to sit comfortably to enjoy them!

Loved our stay at this condo!! It felt like home!! The owners went above and beyond and the property was cleaned, organized and had everything we needed and more!! It had all the basic toiletries, laundry detergent, paper towels, and other house hold essentials to get us started. Along with that, there was beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, cooler and snorkeling gear for us to use.Location—Fabulous!! The unit has a designated parking spot so you don’t have to worry about looking for parking every night. The beach is literally right across the street. And the area is super convenient to local shops, bakeries, restaurants and gas station (walking distance too!). Couldn’t ask for anything more!! Property also has two pools, BBQ area and a tennis court for guests and residents which is nice! Communication—Fantastic!!! You could tell the owner really cares as he made sure we were all set up and was super responsive to any questions we made have had. Book this property!! You won’t regret it!! We’ll definitely be back!!!

Being on the 6th floor you have a perfect view to watch the sunset every night. Location was great. Right across the street from Kam 2 beach and walking distance to several food options and souvenir shops. The condo was a good size for two people. Definitely recommend staying here.

This was our fourth August staying a full month at this wonderful Kihei apartment, and it truly feels like our Maui home away from home. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach, close to great coffee and restaurants, and perfectly central for exploring the island.The apartment is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we need for a long stay. We especially love the breezy balcony for morning coffee and sunsets. The hosts are consistently welcoming and attentive, making every visit seamless.We can’t imagine spending August anywhere else, this apartment has become part of our Maui tradition and we highly recommend it!Agim & Luljeta

The condo was not cleaned properly, and the coffee maker was broken. I went to the office to report these issues. After three days, we finally received a replacement coffee maker, but it arrived on the morning of our move-out, which was frustrating.While the condo is in a great location, it needs better management to take care of its maintenance.

This was our 20th trip to Maui and always stay in a condo, and this was one of the better ones. Overall, it was a great stay. I would have rated it as 4.5 stars if that were an option. This unit is remodeled and looks great, compared to some of the dated ones. It has split A/C's in the living room and bedroom and it does make a huge difference. Ceiling fans also in both rooms which is a plus. Bed was comfy. Nice view from the balcony. It had beach chairs, umbrellas and a cooler. The kitchen was well stocked, maybe even too much stuff. My only "issues" were minor, but I thought they should be shared. As with most condo's, there is nowhere to store your food. No pantry type cabinet, so it's all just sitting on the counter. There were 28 "wine" glasses, (why?) could of opened up some cabinet space for food. No door on the W/D so it gets a lil loud. The other odd thing was the vinyl/laminate flooring had "bubbles" in it. So there were quite a few spots that, when stepped on, made some noise. Not a huge deal, but if someone was sleeping, it be bothersome. Would I stay in this unit again, absolutely!! The owners obviously care of their unit and it shows, but I wanted to be transparent.

We enjoyed our 2nd stay in this condo very much! The view from the balcony is amazing (my favorite spot for coffee in the morning). The walk to the beach was not too far and helped us get our steps in for the week. Our communication with Susan and the management company was nice and easy! We will definitely be back!

All we can say is AMAZING, from checkin to checkout nothing could’ve been better. Host were open and honest with the accommodations, easy infobook with everything in the condo. From booking to the entire stay host we’re on it. We came forour 25th anniversary and didn’t want to leave. If your a couple looking forthat get away and can’t seem to find a affordable and nice place this is it. We will be coming back and would definitely stay with this host again if available.

Lovely condo. Great view, good location. Appreciated the clean floors, the iron, kitchen and the wall decor. The futon in the living room is comfortable to sleep on. The AC doesn’t reach the bedroom, so the heat became unbearable for a couple of days. I understand the property owner will be updating the unit to resolve the issue. I would return.

This was our fourth time staying at Kihei Akahi, and the first time in the C building. Check-in is always straightforward and the condo was very comfortable. The kitchen had most of what we needed - plastic wrap or something to cover the salads would have been appreciated, as would a small cooler for day trips. Otherwise, we had everything we needed (and more). The selection of pillows was very appreciated, and the bed was huge (and comfortable)! The location is perfect - across from Kam 2, and so many delicious places to eat just a short walk away - and the property is beautiful. The lanai was the perfect spot for morning coffee and evenings after sunset. We look forward to staying here again! Mahalo!

Unfortunately we didn't realize that there was only one air conditioner in the main room. Rooms were very uncomfortable. Also, came across two cockroaches. No blankets/pillows for pull out bed. Not enough towels.
