We enjoyed our little home away from home. I had with me my mom (77) and 2 kids (14 & 17). The beds were big enough for my mom and I to share without even getting close to one another. One kid slept in the other bed while the other kid slept on the pull-out sofa, which was very big and comfy. Although, when the sofa was not in bed mode, the cushions where very stained and kinda disgusting. I kept a sheet over them when in use. There were 3 separate A/C units which kept the place cool and comfy as well. My only suggestion is bring your own shampoo/conditioner, laundry soap, and trash bags. We stayed a week and the website states they include all of that. But it's very limited. They left us 3 trash bags, but want us to take out the trash daily. The toiletries are hotel samples. Definitely not enough for a week with 3 women and their long hair. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our little condo for the week.

We loved our stay at the Kihei Alli Kai Condo complex. The condo is so clean and quiet and so convenient. It is a 5 minute walk to one of the best beaches in Kihei, Kamoale I and it is just a bit further to walk to II and III for snorkeling. There are also lots of shops and restaurants that you can walk to from the condo. The condo had a great selection of beach gear for our use-chairs, snorkel gear (we brought our own thought), umbrellas and boogie boards. Our teenage son loved using the boogie boards at the beach in the afternoon. The pool was heated and we went for a swim in the pool and jacuzzi every night. And the sofabed in the living room was very comfortable and the lanai was perfect for bird watching.

Clean and close to the beach. Lots of steps so get your exercises in but that’s ok. Comfortable for families and highly recommend

The best thing about this unit is its location. It is close to a beautiful beach with plenty of shopping, restaurants, etc, around and the sunset is to die for. I would recommend the food truck park not far from there and definitely the Cones at Kihei for dessert. The unit seemed small at first when you walk in, but in a bit you realize there’s enough room for all. The couch could be cleaner, and turns into an extra bed. We were a bit alarmed to see some paint cans in the secondary bedroom closet. Is that safe lol? No other issues with the unit and was comfy. The kids liked that it was right next to pickleball and the swimming pool wasn’t far. You could walk to the beach, but if you are carrying a lot of stuff, it’s easier to drive to the road and park (free and easy to find a spot). I liked the unit was close to the rear parking. But do park only at the open uncovered spots and fill out the parking form. I saw another car get a ticket. The host says she allows late checkout for 75$ if no one’s checking in, but when we asked more than a week in advance, she could not allow it because the cleaners didn’t want to come at a later time. She let us checkout at noon for $60, which helped too, since everyone was dead tired after our road to Hana drive the previous day. Also, the wifi had changed and we couldn’t find out what it was till the next day. All these are tiny issues, but just wanted to put it out there. Overall we liked it and highly recommend this place.

Really enjoyed the place, location was a block from the beach and right above some good food and groceries. Place gets hot quick but some open windows or AC help a lot.

This condo is in a great location near the beach and close to all the food you can eat. Honestly you could stay just here and have a great time. We did venture out, but found ourselves eating at nearby coconuts cafe most nights. Beware, if you have trouble with stairs this is not the place for you. There are a fair amount of steps to get to the parking lot and back. Although there are some shortcuts through the lawn areas. All the cooking tools and implements you could need are provided. My only critique is the kitchen knives were chipped and basically useless. Other than that we appreciated all the cookware. Overall the furnishings were nice, but the linens had some holes in them and we spotted a suspicious stain on the mattress cover. Also all the beach stuff you can think of was provided, this is incredibly convenient and a great touch. The nearby beach is perfect and not busy at all as the beach parking is quite far away. The surf is calm in the mornings and great for floating. We did have an issue with checking in where we had to reach out directly. Then with checking out as we didn't receive any details from the property managers until our penultimate day. But once we messaged them they were very quick to provide a detailed rundown of the property rules. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at KAK and plan on returning. The condo was very clean, with all the amenities needed for an awesome vacation. There were plenty of kitchen utensils, pots pans, etc. to make for an enjoyable stay. The only two things I would recommend are adding a small cooler/cooler bag and a fourth beach chair, as we had four people in our group. There was a large beach umbrella that we appreciated immensely. We hope to return, very soon!

Everything was smooth and great! Ronny is welcoming and accommodating. My mom and I had everything we could want for our stay in Kihei. We could walk to the beach and bring the chairs and umbrellas provided. Pool access was nice, AC units, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. Loved it! Only trouble was that there was only one snorkel mask and it was leaky. I didn’t both Ronny with this, although I’m sure he would have helped us out. Thanks again for a great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we first arrived on the island and followed directions to the rental it would have been helpful to know that we needed to turn left in front of Dolphin Plaza from S Kihei Rd, but other than that the condo was perfect for our family of 5. It was a great size, we had an amazing view from both lanai's. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and was in the perfect family friendly location and it was also convenient to walk to many locations along S Kihei Rd. There were wonderful restaurants close by and a wonderful beach was just across the street. We loved it, Mahalo!

My family and I loved our stay in Kehei. We appreciated the town, which is a nice escape from the big hotels that you find in other parts of Maui. We could walk to the beach, literally 2 blocks away, and the condo had plenty of beach supplies for any activity. There’s even a little grocery walking distance away so you can basically park your car and never have to drive, unless you want too. The apartment is great, with a nice porch to enjoy meals. Note, there is parking at the top of this hill as well as the bottom, which we didn’t figure out until a few days in.

Josh and Christie were very communicative, and allowed us to check in a little early upon our request, which was so kind.

Spent a week here with my family, we all loved it. Easily a 15 minute drive to anything in south Maui and only 25 minutes away from the airport and a few steps away from the elevator so we didn't have to carry bags up the steps. We loved that they had everything that we needed in the room, towels, washer snd dryer, beach equipment. Parking right by the room and the pool was only a short walk away. Would definitely recommend to stay here

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi, We booked thru Rentals Maui and they went above and beyond to help us, they were amazing and I will 100% book with them again. If they will have me after this review!!! Here goes. I am a fit and healthy person. I was sick upon arrival though so that just added to the stress starting with it taking over an hour to even find B 307 as the complex is a maze and the map does not have every unit on it. Stairs. Lots of them. At least 4-5 sets and stairs to the elevator. That being said I am the person that actually always takes the stairs!!! Just not super sick and lugging suitcases and being lost. Good things about the condo once we found it(we also met a lost family totally frustrated with not able to find their condo either)the good:A fridge with ice and water dispensera washer and dryerthe bad:loud portable AC unit right at the head of the beda 2 hour timer on AC in the living room (who does this to paying guests?) (Rentals Maui fixed this to 4)I dunno wake up every few hours in sweat to turn it on otherwise?)Very dirty Lanai (no sitting on the furniture)broken and super dirty backpack chairs which are a MUST for getting to the beach. Again Rentals Maui hand delivered a new one on the beach( I actually feel badly about asking that, again, they were amazing and I was ssssooooo sick)The UglyNot much Hawaiian décor going on here. Beige and grey. And a drawer popping out of a TV unit like a poltergeist. I've stayed in lots condos. beach house etc. I realized that it really does add to a nice vacation feel and experience I also have not written a review before. Now for the ugly:maybe purchase some shower hooks that close completely and a rod that doesn't jam all the hooks that fall off/out every time someone gets in the showerAnd the owners only parking is ridiculous and stressful if you don't feel like walking another 1/4 mile If you are renting a condo to tourists, make it look great so they will love it

We had a great stay at this condo. Has just about anything you would need to cook meals. Great location. Clothes to stores and restaurants within walking distance. Beach is also close. Walk down the driveway, cross the street and you're there. Would definitely stay here again.

The location is fantastic for getting around. Walking distance to the beach and so.e shopping. Really no view at all from the condo. The condo felt a little dated. My only complaints were the air conditioning could only be set to run for 1 hour. We got in let and it was really hot so had to wait to go to sleep. Then woke up sweating and had to get up and turn the air back on. Getting luggage to the condo from the parking area isn't easy either. The best thing is location and price.

We've stayed in this condo complex before so we already knew it was a great location etc. The unit itself was clean, well stocked, and an easy walk from the parking lot. Great communication from the host as well. If you're looking for a 2 bed/2 bath within walking distance of a whole lot, I don't see how you could do much better.

The condo was great! It has everything you’d need for a Hawaiian beach vacation including chairs/cooler/etc. The kids really enjoyed the small grassy area off of the lanai. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfy, the rooms stayed dark in the mornings with blackout shades, and the AC worked very well! We have no complaints at all. Thanks for a great stay!!

The condo was very nice everything was just as ad said it was, the only thing that was a draw back is all the stairs to climb to get to the unit, was good for us kept us in shape, but maybe something to mention in discription of the unit.

June 2024

This was an amazing property that I highly recommend. The location is a five minute walk to the beach, shopping, and food. This was an amazing family friendly rental that contains all of the items you may need for day at the beach. The condo complex also contains a really nice pool and hot tub, plus facilities to grill, which my family did three times. The condo is also well stocked with all of the kitchen equipment you may need if you decide do some cooking, which is not always the case in rental properties. The owners are super responsive and were a huge help in directing us towards things to do and see in Maui. I could not have been happier with this property and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great stay in Maui!!

My husband and I loved our stay in this condo. The views were wonderful from the lanai, the space itself was perfect and just what we needed for our time in Kihei. The Vacasa team was very communicative with their texting service throughout our stay and made it feel we could count on a response should we have needed anything. Great first visit to Maui!

We enjoyed our stay! The condo was in a quiet location but close to several great coffee/food/ice cream options. Having beach gear provided (chairs, towels and cooler) was so helpful and it was an easy walk to the beach (the condo is at the top of a small hill but that didn’t bother us). We didn’t cook but if we did the kitchen was well stocked, including Tupperware containers for our restaurant leftovers! We would definitely stay here again!

Overall, the condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed for our stay. The building, like most on Maui, has seen better days, but it's well-maintained. Some things are a bit dated, but everything was functional and the furniture, etc, in the unit itself was clean and comfortable. It was located just up the hill from the beach, a small park, and the main street with shops and restaurants. Great location! I would certainly stay at this condo again on another trip to Maui.

The location of this place is fantastic and the pool was great for my littles. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our first time in Hawaii. The only struggle was it got bright in the house at 5:30 am so my kids were up very early because there is no way to keep the light out of the upstairs or the bedroom

Loved seeing Maui thrive again! We had such a great time staying in Kihei Alii Kai! The location of this condo could not be better, literally steps away from some of the area's best restaurants, shave ice and most importantly... 3 beaches! The unit itself is spacious, beautifuly decorated and well maintained. Maria, our host, was a pleasure to communicate with. It's obvious how much pride and love she's poured into the condo. We had such an amazing trip to Maui. From luaus in Wailea, snorkeling in Molokini, watching the sunrise from Haleakala and the road to Hana, all of it was possible from this central spot. We'll plan on staying here next time!

Everything was as described. Not sure if this changes based on time of year, but found the complex to be fairly quiet and often had the pool to ourselves or only 1-2 other people. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Breakfast and/or dinner on the lanai almost everyday. Used the BBQs by the pool one night with no issue. Appreciated the businesses and beach! within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed a week in this home and it was overall a pleasant stay. The home has beach towels, chairs and beach toys. The bed is very comfy! You're a walk away from the beach, coffee shops and shaved ice! We are already talking about staying here again. A few minor changes I would consider is painting the walls, or cleaning them, and putting a freshener in the kitchen/fridge.
