My husband and I love this area, so close to beaches, shopping, and food. The beach is so close to the condo. The host was very responsive and generous. There are beach chairs, towels, and floaties there to use which is so nice. Would highly recommend!

This property was perfect for us. My favorite part is the location to the beach. We went every night to watch the sunset. Then we came back at about 8:00 and walked the beach and found many sea turtles. The condo is a great location. We found the shared items very useful: beach chairs, ice chest. Snorkel gear. The kitchen had everything we needed for any meals we ate there. I also loved the decor. It was bright and cheery!

Property was as described and convenient to sites. Worked well for myself, my husband and my in-laws for about a week long trip. The apartment allowed for each couple to have their own space, and the proximity to the beach was great. Hosts were amazing, and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

I have stayed in this unit multiple times. It’s always a great stay. The condo has everything needed for comfort and convenience. It’s also close to stores, restaurants, and the beach. The owners are wonderful to work with. The grounds are beautiful. I can’t give this unit enough stars to show my appreciation.

Our family had a wonderful two week stay in Kihei for Christmas. The condo complex was very quiet and clean. The condo itself was perfect for our family. Spacious, clean, and stocked with everything one needs for a beach holiday (beach chairs, towels, umbrella, coolers). Conveniently located a short walk to the beach, grocery store, restaurants and other amenities. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had a magical Christmas week in Ute and George's flat. The communication with the landlords was excellent. Access to the flat was very easy and well described. The complex is a dream, very well maintained and you always feel like you are in the Garden of Eden. The beach is only 2 minutes away and we had many beautiful sunsets there. There are plenty of parking spaces on the complex. There is a large supermarket (Times) and a shopping mall with various restaurants nearby (2 minutes walk). The pool looked like a lot of fun - but we didn't use it. The flat is very comfortable and spacious. The WiFi worked great. The kitchen is very well equipped. Sufficient sockets (also near the bed) available. Beach equipment such as sun loungers, parasol, snorkelling equipment and towels were available. If you are sensitive to noise, you should prepare yourself accordingly. From the bedroom you can hear the adjacent laundry room and the bedroom is adjacent to the car park and does not have light-proof curtains. Essential furnishings are clean, large and higher areas could do with better cleaning. Overall, a great place to relax and feel at home.

We loved this place. The location is amazing. The property is well maintained. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for cooking. The lanai had well designed space for hanging wet clothing from the beach/pool. Very family friendly. Overall a great place to stay.

The store is literally the next building over! The beach is maybe 2 blocks off. And this beach is perfect for toddlers. Mg 2 year old loved the ocean. The waves weren’t big so she would walk right in to me, and it was very sandy and lovely. Pool was great (bring ur own life jacket). Charles young beach is a couple min drive down the way for some waves and snorkeling for our 10 year old who did some boogie boarding. And go to the farmers market and get some bbq and food. The locals are very appreciative of your support.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was nice and well stocked with basic needs, beach gear and toiletries. The layout of the loft style was great with kids, and being steps from the beach was awesome. There is no AC for the downstairs bedroom, so it's all about fans. The single living room ac unit does well to cool the rest of the space though. The pool area was nice, but the hot tub was only a few degrees warmer than the pool; NOT a hot tub. Quite a lot of homeless population right around the complex and in the parking area panhandling each time we went to our car.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kihei Garden Estates is a great complex. We’ve stayed in several condos there and have never been disappointed. The condos are stocked with everything you need for cooking or playing at the beach. Kihei Garden Estates is located within walking distance of 2 plazas with a supermarket, restaurants, food trucks & shopping. S. Kihei Road has so many beautiful beaches. North Kihei is a great base no matter where you want to go on Maui.

This condo is nothing extravagant... but very practical, clean and comfortable. It has a great location with a beautiful beach 50 yards from the front door. This had all the amenities we needed.

We picked this condo for the location because of the proximity to relatives living in Maui. The condo was nice, very clean and updated. It is very short walk to ocean which was great when carrying chairs and beach stuff. We did run into an issue checking in (wrong code to unlock door). It was worked out between VRBO and the Host, who were very pleasant and accommodating during communication. I would stay here again!

We loved staying here! It was a great condo with the beach a 2 minute walk away. Perfectly located in the heart of Kihei we were able to walk to the grocery store, food trucks, shave ice and multiple coffee spots. The home was beautifully remodeled. Not like don't want to touch anything so nice, but like I want my place to look like this nice. Great communication with the hosts and manager as well. We will be back!

We had the best experience at Melanie’s place. It was close to a bunch of restaurants we wanted to try, and one block from Akamai’s coffee that we loved, and just off the best kept secret beach. The beach behind the condo is really one of the best I’ve been to - calm water, shallow enough to walk out into the water for a bit, usually quiet and not full of tourists, and the best place to watch sunset every night. The condo is very well kept and Melanie was so quick in answering all my questions before the trip.

Prior to arriving, I felt the owner was exaggerating about how great the location was. However, now that we have stayed there, I totally agree. This area of Kihei is a bit quieter but has all the amenities we needed within a short walk (groceries, drug store, great restaurants and coffee bars). Best of all, it was a half block from a hidden gem of Maui, the Lipoa Street beach. Wow! We could walk endlessly in either direction on quiet, pristine beach. It was lovely! The condo was fastidiously clean, well stocked with an arrival treat basket, extra towels and great shower supplies. The property is well-managed with a clean good-sized pool and hot tub. We sat on the lanai and talked about how much we look forward to returning. We would stay here again, only next time for much longer. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us!

Contacted the property manger for early check in and was told that she would contact me. We went by the property to look at it and find the location which we did. One person went to the door just to check it out looked in but never went in and then we left. Later received a call from the manager asking why we left our stuff in the condo, I assured her we did not but she insisted that they told her we did. After trying to assure her several times that we did not she finally hung up. Not happy with that exchange. The bedroom we stayed in had 3 standing fans 1 didn't work and 2 were so clogged with dust and grit they barely moved the air around. The overhead fan worked fine but the light in it would turn on by itself. Twice on separate occasions in the middle of the night and twice on separate occasions during the middle of day, no reason why. The shower in the main bathroom could use some updating. The shower rail was not very clean. We ran out of dish soap and toilet paper which I will say was refilled quickly. There were no kitchen towels or sponges to dry hands or do dishes . The pool area was very nice and the laundry room was clean and tidy. Oh one more thing, what was with the screen door being on the inside of the unit, it made it very difficult going in and out. I'm not sure I would stay in that unit again.

This is an ideal location especially if you're staying with young children. It's a very short walk to the beach which we were able to do multiple times a day. We brought beach chairs and beach toys and small provisions but when it was time to go inside and get some rest it was easy to pack up and head back. They have a foot washing station that came in so handy before getting back into the condo. We did have to use the laundry room quite a bit so that we had clean dry towels, however, the gripe there is that it's one washing machine and it seemed to always be in use, that's a disadvantage as we stayed for 11 nights so we couldn't just use the stash given and be good to go. There's a grocery store right behind the condos that is convenient for the quick little things we needed, but it's best to shop at Wal-Mart or Costco depending on the length of your stay. It was easy to walk to some of the restaurants that were close by and they were really wonderful places. The property management team is very responsive and provided wonderful customer service.

We love the property. Stayed here last year in a different unit. Living room furniture could use an update and the upstairs neighbors were noisy when they were home. But we enjoyed our stay. The aquarium is fantastic. Maui is still paradise. Tried to give big donations and tips to the local people who were serving us.

We enjoyed every day we spent at this Condo. The layout,location and space was just perfect for our adult family vacation. This is without a doubt one of the most well equipped vacation homes we have stayed at. Loved the care and attention to details like all the labeling of drawers and shelves where things went.The owners were promptly and pleasantly responsive to every question we had in our communications with them . Everything was clean and just as advertised on VRBO. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone, and we would look forward to returning here some day . Mahalo for sharing this property with us

Nice clean quiet condo only one minute away from beach. Walking distance to some great restaurants and bars. 10 minutes walk to a nice park with tennis and pickleball courts. AC is a necessity and provided in the condo. However our unit stopped functioning on the last 2-3 days of our stay. Still not fixed as we are preparing to leave today. Had to use the fans and relied on a cross breeze from open doors and windows. Otherwise a great stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I haven't been home in 10 years. The fires and my dads health issues had me flying back as fast as possible. The booking process for this condo, the customer service with the rental company, all of it was great. You're even behind the Times supermarket, which made it convenient for last minute needs or a fast plate of food. This was also my family of 4's first trip together and to see where I am from and it was comfortable. The bunk bed suited the kids comfortably and my gigantic 6'3 husband and I really enjoyed the uostairs loft/bathroom.Please please remember when visiting Hawai'i that sugar ants are a problem. I had to explain that to my husband. No matter how well kept a place is, It's a tropical environment with nooks and crannys and Ants just manifest, so please kokua when leaving food out on the counter. The condo is in a really good area for food and a nice few steps to the beach. They even provide seats and boards if you need those things to take with you for a day in the sun. The AC unit was awesome. Run it for a little bit and the entire place cools down and stays cool well after **** off. The bedroom downstairs has a ceiling fan, but not to worry, hawai'i nights are always cool so even if it feels a bit warm during the day, the ceiling fan is enough. Thank you for making my stay comfortable while I had so much to do for the week we were there. That's all I ever really need in a place to stay. ❤️

If you are thinking about this property, STOP and book it! Its location is perfectly situated in a quaint residential community within walking distance of a beach and grocery store. We also loved being close to a farmers market and a restaurant/shop plaza. The condo was perfect for us and we will miss the birdies that visited us each morning and afternoon. There is a washer/dryer in the loft and ample detergent and dryer sheets provided. There are beach items in the deck box and a small cooler. Also provided is shampoo/conditioner/body wash so no need to pack your own! The beds are comfortable and the kitchen stocks a few seasonings and coffee. There is a keurig, a small coffee pot and plenty of dishes/pans. We really enjoyed the stay!

Our trip to the Valley Isle could not have gone any smoother and the memories made could not have been any more beautiful! Having Hale Kai Uli as our home base during our trip was more than we could have hoped for. To begin with, the location was so close to the ocean it felt almost beachfront, and in the opposite direction we had the convenience of grocery stores, small restaurants, and local shops all within a short walk. I appreciated being a few minutes outside of the main "Kihei hub" (i.e. Kamaole Beaches area) which provided for a quieter and less busy neighbourhood. Having the luxury of a ground-level unit, allowed for easy access to and from the lush grounds. We ate breakfast nearly every morning on the lanai, and bbq'd on a couple evenings around the pool using the community outdoor kitchen. The amenities inside the unit were above & beyond what we were expecting; the kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and accessories we needed for eating in & out of the unit (including a soft cooler, ice packs, and Tupperware for picnicking on our beach-day excursions). We made use of the beach accessories as well, which included beach chairs & umbrella, snorkels, masks & fins, boogie boards and other beach toys! The place itself was immaculate and both bedrooms were clean & comfortable. I really hope to return to Hale Kai Uli one day, and have been recommending the unit non-stop since our return. Mahalo to Staci, Matthew, and Jennifer for making our holiday so special!

Our stay was lovely. The property grounds were well kept, pool was clean and grass and trees around were well maintained. The condo unit layout was great, and we were grateful for two bathrooms especially traveling with a baby and a teenager. The only complaint we had was the pullout sofa linens were not clean upon check in, but they have a laundry room on site which we were able to wash and dry them before using. There were a few things that needed repairing but management was quick to respond! Overall, we had a great stay.
