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.

Bedroom a bit warm due to AC in opposite end of condo. Other than the vocal chicken which can’t be helped it’s a great stay

We had a great stay in Gloria’s condo. It was clean and she left us some welcome goodies, including her homemade banana bread (which was delicious!) The split air conditioning in the living room and bedroom was nice and kept it pleasantly cool and does cool down quickly. Parking was convenient and not far to the elevators. Communication was excellent. She was always available if we had a question and we felt she truly cared that we were comfortable and happy. Thank you Gloria!!

The mngt co is outstanding! Super responsive and eager to please. The unit is upgraded (remodeled) and adequately supplied with everything you should need. The split A/C was a high selling point as it tends to be warm in Kihei but the owners have it limited to 68 degrees. It can be quite warm in the living room in the afternoon especially is you keep the unit off all day to conserve energy, as they request. Other than that, everything else was great.

Fully equipped kitchen. Good size for a family of 4. Really enjoyed our stay, close walk to beach and local resteraunts/shops.

We had a great stay. Everything was as described. I particularly enjoyed the great ocean view. Nice kitchen, efficient and quiet AC. If you’ve heard about the sinkhole on S. Kīhei Road, yes it is still there (as of mid May) and is, in fact, right next to the driveway going into this unit. Not to worry, the access is not blocked. South Kīhei Road is still closed to through traffic at this spot and one has to detour around it. It’s really not a big deal. What we saw and heard about the restoration and repair work is that it’s going very slow and this issue is likely to be there awhile.

The hosts were excellent!! Our keypad stopped working one evening upon arriving back to the condo and they came over within minutes to solve the problem. All it needed was new batteries! The condo was very clean, had plenty of dishes, linens and cookware. The location was easily walkable to a few beaches and to Kihei town(about a mile to Foodland and shops)We really enjoyed our visit. With the trade winds we never even turned on the A/C. Great place!!!

I would love to stay they’re on my next trip!

This was a perfect spot for a quiet stay across from the beach. It had everything I needed for beach days--chairs, towels, coolers--great for someone trying to pack light. The balcony was perfect for relaxing with the ocean view and listening to the birds and the waves. Just a hop from a couple restaurants and shops, an easy 30 minute walk from even more dining and night life options, and easy to get in and out of the complex by car if you have a rental.Had the tiniest issue with my check-in code, and the responsiveness from my host was unbeatable. Didn't run into any other issues during my stay, but felt confident I would have immediate support if I did.Really couldn't have asked for a better home base for my 3 days in Kihei!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful condo. The condo was clean and very updated. It came with any amenity and all of the extras you could think of. Nice, new chairs, umbrella, beach bag and coolers for the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable. The view is amazing and you can see the ocean and sunset every night. The host was very communicative and responsive. The condo property itself is beautiful. I’d stay here again and definitely recommend this condo for an amazing stay in Maui!

The room featured a great sized kitchen (no dishwasher), beach and snorkeling gear in the closets, cleaning supplies to help with sand, and was the perfect size for my wife and I for our honeymoon. Hardly spent too much time in it, since we were running all over the island exploring! But the location is excellent being in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops, and spas. Couldn’t ask for something better. Room was clean, and towels and linens were provided. We made prominent use of the washer and dryer too, of which they provided a few laundry pods. The rentals assoc was very helpful when needs arose, and parking was convenient.

Communication with owner was great. We love staying at the Kihei Akahi which is why we chose this unit. We never used the AC, but it was nice to have as an option. The washing machine didn’t work and the fix was not available during our stay. We packed enough clothes assuming we’d be able to wash them, so it was a pretty big inconvenience. The owner offered late checkout on our last day, which was not even an option as we left for the airport quite early. No other concessions were offered.

Great location, easy access to the beach, shops and food. The AC leaked water for 1 day and the host responded very quickly and had someone out that day to fix the issue.This rental had beach chairs, toys, tennis rackets which was really nice! The pool was super close!This place felt like home and was very comfortable to stay in for 1 month.

Took my ten year old on a special Daddy daughter trip and loved it!!! She wants us to go back and stay at ‘the exact same place’. Petra was great with communication. And the condo was a great location and value. The unit is well supplied with snorkelling equipment, boogie board, chairs etc. The staff at the desk were also very kind and loaned us tennis equipment to use.I had two items worth noting. 1- The comforter on the bed needs to be replaced. It was so stained we took it off and slept with just the bed sheets (which was fine because it was warm but also awkward to not have a comforter). 2- As someone else has noted - The cookware is all non stick coated including the pots and when scratched (as they are) they can be toxic so we chose to not cook with them. Would be great to have a simple set of stainless steel cookware. Overall a great stay and would stay there again.

Berney’s place was very clean and cozy, have nice balcony ocean view to watch sunset. The kitchen has everything you needed for quick meals, saved us lots of time and money, we got to enjoy local poke with our own freshly cooked rice. No AC in the bedroom, but if you open the window in bedroom and the living room, breeze make it comfy to sleep. Maui had tons of drain flies recently, Berney was very responsive for any issue.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kihei Akahi C606! Pros: easy check-in, very clean, comfy king-size bed, quiet, nice kitchen, cozy living area with a nice big TV, great air-conditioning, two swimming pools, gas grills, tennis/pickleball courts, perfect location across from the beach, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Beach towels, chairs, cooler provided. Cons: None!Suggestions: We ended up renting an umbrella because the one provided would not stay in the sand. A full length mirror in the bedroom would also be a nice addition. We had a fabulous time and are grateful to how lovely the unit is kept up and everything it does provide! Mahalo!

Across the street from a beach and very close to other beaches. Nice assortment of beach equipment. Everything we needed in condo. Didn’t know how to access tv. Rooms very hot as no air conditioning. Plenty of fans which eventually cooled it off.

The suite was okay, ice maker not dispensing, numerous light switches don’t work, poor dishwashing quality, breaker kicked out. Wet laundry was left for us in the machine when we arrived, lower front curtains stained.The property itself was poorly maintained, dum socks laying around in front of the suites for the duration. The garbage can by the sand shower was never emptied in 11 days. Pool area not cleaned daily, walkways sandy and full of tree debris.

Location was perfect. We were there right after all of the flooding and the road was damaged but did not affect our stay at all. Our host was always responsive and made sure we were comfortable! Would surely stay again.:)

Very centralized place to stay in Maui. The complex was well maintained and there are bars, restaurants, and the beach all within walking distance. The unit was very clean and has all of the amenities that you would want or need whethere it be beach chairs/umbrella/cooler/snorkeling equipment for the beach to a full kitchen to cook (or in my case reheat) grub with. I was visiting during the last set of storms and was unable to stay in Hana as planned- the host was very hospitable allowing me to check in early due to the weather!

We were pretty busy and weren't there much, but it was a clean safe place in a decent location, close to our family who lives on the island.

The entire process of check-in, stay, and check-out was seamless and straightforward. The host provided check-in and check-out instructions, as well as tips and recommendations via email a few days before check-in. The condo was easy to locate and access, and the unit was well appointed. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and beach towels available for use. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, utensils, and equipment, and some non-perishable staples (oil, vinegar, some spices). Wifi didn’t seem to work very well in the bedroom, but we used data, so no concerns from us. We didn’t need to use the AC, as opening all windows and doors made the unit cool quite quickly, and using the ceiling fans provided additional cooling. The unit and building was very quiet (this particular unit is located on the 5th level) from human noise, but note that birds begin chirping once the sun comes up! Parking was provided and easy to locate. The balcony views were the highlight of this unit! Fabulous views of the ocean and surrounding islands.
