What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 938 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.

Travelers consistently praise Kihei Garden Estates for its easy, low‑key Maui vibe and superb convenience. The complex sits a short walk from a quiet beach (great for sunsets and frequent turtle sightings), with a grocery store, coffee, food trucks, and restaurants just around the corner. Grounds are lush and well kept, with a relaxing pool, hot tub, and a popular covered BBQ/outdoor kitchen area. Many condos are thoughtfully stocked with beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, and full kitchens, making it an excellent value and a practical base for families and longer stays. Hosts and managers are generally responsive and helpful.

Guests say staying here feels residential and peaceful rather than resorty. Mornings on the lanai, evenings strolling to the beach, and uncrowded pool time are common highlights. The location in Kihei is central for exploring the island and close to Wailea’s beaches; parking is easy, and on‑site coin laundry is handy. Several units are updated and very clean, with comfortable beds and effective AC in living areas; the complex community and even the mango trees add a friendly, homey touch.

A few caveats reflect the condo nature of the property. Quality varies by unit: some are older or show wear, and occasional housekeeping or maintenance hiccups pop up. AC is often limited to the living room or on timers, so lofts/bedrooms can run warm; laundry is typically coin‑op, not in‑unit. The nearest beach is lovely for walks, sunsets, and turtles but can be shallow/rocky for swimming—many guests drive a few minutes to Kamaole or Wailea beaches. Several reviews note a visible unhoused presence around the perimeter/near the beach; most felt safe, but some were uncomfortable after dark. If you want polished, oceanfront luxury, look elsewhere; for a well‑priced, well‑located, family‑friendly home base, this is a winner.

We enjoyed. Beach is a little far.

The condo was a perfect location for our one week stay in Maui. Convenient access to local beach, groceries and restaurants with short drives to beaches in Kihei and Wailea. The condo itself also had everything we needed for the week in a comfortable space with the added bonus of a good pool for local relaxation. Communication with the property manager was also excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time staying at this condo in Kihei. It is within walking distance of everything you need: beach, grocery, restaurants, and Tamura's for the best poke. The condo had all the amenities and more, which was great for our family of four. There was a huge mango tree right next to this condo and the caretaker was there and gave us mangos that had fallen off the tree. It was delicious! It was great to have all their beach gear organized and ready for a day of fun. Staci was a wonderful and flexible host. She was very communicative and when we needed to extend our checkout due to a late travel day, she rearranged cleaning to help us out. We were so grateful and cannot thank them enough. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay! Close to South Maui Gardens for good food! Super close walk to Nalu’s for happy hour, as well as the beach to see the sunset, turtles, and we even saw a monk seal! It was so nice to have the pool and grill area with tables. The chairs for the beach were also so nice to have! Thank you for everything, we had a great time!

The stay was exactly as advertised. The condo was very clean, had comfortable beds, the outdoor area was cozy for lots of late night card games, there were thoughtful extras such as beach chairs and towels, and close to the beach! We enjoyed our stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was easy to access and somewhat comfortable. Had a fully stocked kitchen. Beach chairs and boogie boards but we never used the boards. Bed was nice and bathroom. Could have used more towels. There weren’t enough places to sit. One love seat sofa is not ideal for two friends - the kitchen chairs were heavy and uncomfortable too. Loved the pool and hot tub! Washer was also broken and we needed an AC which was broken. Took several txts to get it handled but they made it right. Gave us a late check out and we were still locked out A thankfully we left the back door unlocked so that was frustrating

Our family (two adults, teenagers 16 & 18) just enjoyed a really lovely stay here. It was so spacious, and really well equipped. Not only for being at the apartment, but if you wanted to go to the beach or do day trips, we found the chairs, beach towels and coolers very handy. Other benefits to note: the lanai is a wonderful place to pass the time - the sun is never shining directly on it, so you can enjoy the temperature without getting a burn. Both the beach and a good size grocery store were 2 minute walk away. The king size bed was incredibly comfortable. Having two bathrooms was a treat. The pool and hot tub never seemed to be overly crowded. The neighbourhood is quiet. All in all, we highly recommend this place for a visit to Maui.

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: My family and I have stayed in this particular condo twice and we stay in Kihei each time we visit Maui. I will make every effort to rent from Rentals Maui in the future!! The condo is clean, well maintained, comfortable and well maintained. The property is beautiful! The pool and hot tub are always clean and my kids love hanging out there. The beach is nearby as well as wonderful restaurants. This trip to Maui I became very ill and spent 9 of our 11 days on the island in the hospital. Matt and Char were so kind and so helpful in working with us to extend our stay. I cannot thank them enough for their help as I was stuck in the hospital and my family was scrambling for a place to stay when we had to extend our trip. Thanks you Matt and Char and Rentals Maui!!

This was amazing trip! The condo was affordable for the location. My younger siblings loved the pool, the baby chickens, and the fact we were so close to the beach and everything else. We will definitely be booking with you guys in the future! It was truly amazing!

Exactly what we needed.This was a perfect home base for exploring such a wonderful island. The kitchen and closet were stocked with everything we needed, which saved us money on renting gear and eating out. It felt more like a home than a resort-style place. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot near a beautiful, uncrowded beach, this is the place to stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was enjoyable. Not wild about the location. I would have preferred closer to the Kamaole beaches. I don't think the sheets had been washed in the upstairs bed. There was a bloodstained on the pillow case. And the downstairs bed had the bedspread haphazardly put on sideways. Oh, and the coffeemaker hadn't been washed.

This was perfect for a family of 4. Convenient to have well stocked kitchen, laundry (although the building’s laundry machine was broken but they directed us to the next building over, same complex), balcony, community pool and hot tub. Good location, felt very residential, not touristy, not far from food, supermarkets. Centrally located to be able to reach other parts of Maui easily.

We had a wonderful stay in Kihei. We were very comfortable in the condo and enjoyed the patio, the pool, the hot tub, the short walk to the beach, the boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrella. We felt at home. The grounds are well maintained. Laundry was easy to get to, just down the stairs outside. We appreciate the Barkers and their gracious hospitality and quick response to our questions. “Wonderful!” Is a perfect description.

The location being within walking distance to the beach and shopping was great!We had to reach out to the host for one thing and the fast and professional response was amazing. It was a little smaller than what we were expecting but was still manageable and would stay there again.

We had a great time and the condo was a great place to stay! They have lots of beach equipment at the house and that was AWESOME! It’s a quiet neighborhood and beach access is right by! The house could use a deep clean but other than that it was a great choice!

this is the second time we’ve stayed here and we always feel right at home. Steps to the beach and near one of our favorite shaved ice places! Also nearby restaurants. Can’t beat the location. This place has everything you’ll need - chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella, small cooler. We’re looking forward to coming back!

The condo is super close to the beach but there were many unhoused people with shopping carts between condo and beach. This would not be a huge issue except many of the things to lock the windows were broken and the back door could not be completely closed, which prevented us from being able to lock it. With children, it just did not feel safe. Additionally there is no a/c (one tiny window unit on a timer that does not cool down the condo). There is no ceiling fan in the main bedroom. Booked for 7 days and we did not even spend one night there because it felt unsafe and too hot. I would not recommend. The fridge was also broken/did not cool down the food. Beware of this booking.

Overall - you get what you pay for. The sea, restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance. In some places it was uncomfortable because of the homeless people who hang around this beach, but, to be fair, they are chased away by security and police. Personally, I like silence, for me it is a bit noisy location. The apt itself looks good and clean,; because of the reviews we expected something more tired (:

Very short walk to the beach. It was the best beach we had visited in Kihei as it was quiet and less people. Turtles daily. Comfortable bed, clean, stocked with necessities, host was quick to communicate.
Nicole Y.
April 2025

We had a very pleasant stay here. The location was perfect, just steps from the beach and very close to shopping and restaurants. Would absolutely recommend to others interested. My only negative comment is that I left a necklace behind when checking out and messaged the host through the app within hours of departure but did not receive a response. When I finally did they told me that my necklace was thrown away because it “appeared broken”. Just be careful when you’re checking out as they are not responsible for your belongings left behind.

Location, cleanliness, comfy beds, beach items, AC, access to host via app. All flawless.We had So much fun in Maui at this rental property. Pool was amazing for our little one, bbq area clean and well maintained, very close to the beach and a supermarket and coffee shops also a very quiet area!

The size of the unit is perfect for a family of 4. It’s a clean, fun property with all the amenities of home. The pool, grill, and common areas are perfect for lounging, prepping food, and enjoying the water just a little bit more! Highly recommend!!!

We had a great stay at this location. Our host was very responsive to our questions and gave us notification on a repair that was made while we were out. Beach is rught up the street, food close by and the host left a binder of local attractions, food and other items to look through. Couldnt be more pleased with the property and stay. pleased with tolthrough .

This was a very nice location for us. It gave us easy access to everything: shopping, site seeing, restaurants, airport, etc. You are directly across from the beach and can walk over every night to see the incredible sun sets. The unit is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. There is even an entire cabinet dedicated to plastic for the pool area where there is an outdoor kitchen. The unit owner is wonderful and VERY responsive if you need anything at all. Parking was very easy as there was always availability next to our unit on the street. Lots of restaurants and shopping and beaches very close. I would recommend this unit and I would rent this unit again,
