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.

Dear VIP,Thank you very much for everything during our stay. We had a wonderful and happy time, and we truly appreciate your hospitality. Maui and Kihei are beautiful places, and we would love to visit again.However, there are two things we feel we should let you know.First, we witnessed a man staying on the second floor of the condominium chasing a woman while holding a baseball bat. In addition, during our stay, a woman appeared outside late at night shining a flashlight around. As I was traveling with my children, these incidents made us feel quite frightened and concerned about our safety.Second, we unfortunately lost some of our belongings. On our last day, we stayed by the pool until late, and the camera, iPad, and AirPods that we had left by the poolside disappeared. We were very disappointed by this.Despite these unfortunate incidents, we think Maui and Kihei are wonderful places, and we hope to visit again in the future.Thank you again, and we wish you all the best.

This is the 5th rental we've stayed at in Kihei and the worst. I picked it due to its proximity to restaurants. The pool was great and the gardens were pretty (except you need a key to turn on the jacuzzi jets?). The property management company communicated well at the beginning. However, lots of issues in the place. Both shower valves didn't work properly, and one toilet flusher. They sent someone right away but they weren't able to fix them and we heard nothing from them after that. The single wall A/C unit left the downstairs bedroom extremely hot. The pillows, mattress and couch were uncomfortable. The kitchen had nothing- not even salt and pepper- we had to buy lots of stuff, including coffee filters. I've never encountered that in dozens of rentals I've been in. The beach on this side of Kihei is miserable- choppy and brown, just fyi.

Hello, the place was very nice. Had plenty of room the A/C and the fans worked out great to help with the heat. The place was very clean. Location is great easy to get to all places. Concerns: There was an older gentleman that is balding he walked by me and when I said good evening he just grunted. Weird but ok maybe he's not a people person. But the thing is that he was being creepy and was watching from a far, just didn't get a good feeling about that guy. When I was going to the house he was watching from behind a car. Just odd.Went out early today and came back to the place to find the TV was on!??! This is concerning for safety reasons. I did not leave the TV on so not feeling safe being in the room.See pictures, In the main bedroom there is this square cutout in the wall that leads to somewhere. I tried opening it but was held together by something from the inside. Again creepy. Not going to be staying here again. Mahalo

This vacation home was a bit of a disappointment.The check in process was confusing but made it worse because of the host’s terrible communication. We missed a signature, but the host never sent a follow up, so didn’t know why we weren’t given instructions. When we tried to call their number, it all went to voicemail. We had to go to their office and ask someone to help us there. When we got inside, the air conditioning was broken. The host (when she finally responded) said it was because we turned it down too quickly and to wait. We later found out that the refrigerant was leaking. The shower door was also broken and the front screen door locked us out one day. We couldn’t reach the hosts because the “emergency” number kept going to voicemail again, so we had to figure out how to jimmy the lock ourselves. Once we got in contact by email. they sent maintenance the next day. It was fast, but just sucked to have to wait for them to come as we didn’t want people coming in to the home without someone present.You can tell this location isn’t one that the host checks up on or maintains, but just relies on outside cleaners to come and go. The couch was incredibly uncomfortable and old and the cushions sank into the couch bed. The mattress on the beds are also very old as well. The washer/dryer was very dirty and made me not want to use it.However, it is a fantastic location by the beach and good food. That is the main selling point if you are looking to stay here.

We had a 14 day stay and we're impressed by how much thought and details were included to make our stay more comfortable. The kitchen staples were an added detail that was greatly appreciated! That first morning, being able to enjoy the sunny lanai and brew coffee was awesome. We found out that between May to September the trade winds blow mighty on the beach from 11-4 daily. Having morning sun looking into the beautiful park like garden grassy area under large blossoming plumeria trees was perfect with shade and no wind in the afternoon provided much enjoyment. We loved having the availability of the beach chairs and umbrella for the morning swim. We have been to Maui on 5 separate vacations and this location and condo has been the best stay overall. The host responded quickly to questions. Groceries are out the back gate, a 5 minute walk with multiple highly starred restaurants nearby. Parking was never a problem and the night time is quiet. It's the perfect combination of beach and pool. The overall property "Kehei Garden Estates" is very well maintained with enough security features to maximize privacy. We highly recommend this condo.

We rented two units as we had additional family members. The other unit had excellent remodel and great air conditioning. Our unit was hot ( air conditioning worked but not efficiently) we spent over two weeks and will return but not to this unit for the price. ( we come to Maui every two years or so and mainly stay at Kehei Garden Estates for close proximity to restaurants, sites, etc)

This is a great little condo to stay in while in Keihei. It's in a good location. Short walk to the beach and grocery store. A/C in bedrooms and living room! Plenty of towels provided, including beach towels. There are portable beach chairs, cooler, beach bag, noodles, boogie board, etc. The beds and other furnishings are comfortable. Would highly recommend this condo. We especially loved the big mango tree right outside the back patio. Delicious!

Over this 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo was exactly as described. Plenty of room for 4 people, comfortable and clean. The condo included extra amenities for most things we might need. It is also in a great location in the middle of Kihei Town, 2 blocks to the beach and minutes away feom shopping, restaurants and other beach and water access. Krista the host was very easy to work with and responded within a day or less for any minor issues. The price for the condo was reasonable. Parking was easy and no issues with anything else. Mahalo! Definitely on our list for future visits.

1. The room has rich configurations, especially the kitchen configuration, which is very commendable, enough to make a lobster or Chinese stir-fry in the room; At the same time, it is impossible not to mention that beach chairs are also provided. 2. There is a basic supermarket in five minutes walk around, and there is a good local large supermarket in five minutes by car.

We had a great stay in this condo. It was very well equipped, kitchen had everything we needed to cook some great meals in including the BBQ’s in the common area. This unit is well suited to families of 4 or two couples. There was a variety of items for use at the beach including beach chairs, umbrella, beach mats, beach towels, boogie boards and an assortment of beach toys. The pool was very nice and we used almost every day we were there. The hot tub was a good temperature but sometimes not the cleanest, unfortunately some guests did not properly shower before use and I think the high number of people using it made it a challenge to keep clean. The times grocery store is a two minute walk and convenient when you need a few groceries. 4 min walk to the beach which featured great sunset viewing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again when we return.

Kihei garden estates in Maui Hawaii is where we stayed. This place had everything you needed to goto the beach and anything you could think of to make you feel right at home. Had a pool hot and a cooking area by the pool so another bonus you might not have at home. Ground so well kept and everyone was super friendly All shopping and things to do were all close by and easy to find. Pricing for shopping food and groceries was reasonable for the area unless you traveled closer to all the resorts. The beaches are beautiful and not a lot of people were there so we were able to swim and enjoy the beaches and relaxing in the sun.

Great location to walk to restaurants, walk down for beach sunsets, see sunrise from the garden view of lovely mature trees. Easy to drive south to the more beautiful beaches in Wailea and Makena.

Absolutely a delightful condo close to the beach and within walking distance of so much. Loved our stay! The beds were the most comfortable of any VRBOs I ever visited. The kitchen was well stocked and when I discovered that there was not a coffee grinder as stated in the description, the owner promptly ordered one and had it delivered. We were comfortable the entire time.

Great location! We’ve stayed in this place before and always appreciated the support of the owner if there was ever a question or problem. It is Central so the beach is a four minute walk with ample shopping, including grocery nearby, you can walk to it.

The condo is absolutely perfect! I don't know where to start. First, the location - literally steps to a beautiful long beach and so many other beaches everywhere. We could have walked to the Safeway grocery it is so close. Parking was so easy and plentiful. What is really striking is the peace and tranquility of the complex, and the simplicity of everything. The pool and hot tub are absolutely perfect and the area is so spacious. We met great people but notably never felt like there were too many people, it was so peaceful. The owner and manager were absolutely great to interact with and responded to our early questions immediately and were very accommodating. They also go out of their way to include simple extras that are so helpful, like snorkeling gear, mulitple coolers, umbrellas, and beach chairs. We wish we would have booked a longer stay there and if we ever have the opportunity will certainly return!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the location. Beach was a 2 minute walk and beautiful. Pool and hot tub were well maintained however our hot tub key did not work. The surrounding gardens were well maintained and pretty. We did have to place a call for maintenance because our kitchen sink clogged. The issue was taken care of immediately and the staff was polite and professional. Well done! We had a minor issue with the bottom rack in the dishwasher because the wheels were broken. Also the bed located in the loft was listed as a queen when it is really only a full size bed. We would stay here again. Thank you. Sincerely Krista

Great place. We were here during the storm. Roads were not washed out, had no problem getting to the property. Walking distance to supermarkets and restaurants. More restaurants about a mile and a half South. First time staying here, won’t be the last time.

We were a bit disappointed in the fact that there was no shampoo, conditioner or soap in the showers. We only had I extra roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms and no extra paper towels. I suppose that would have been sufficient except it rained every day and we were in place almost all day every day. We only ate out twice so I did more cooking. So we had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, shampoo, conditioner and soap. We were also down to one packet of dishwasher soap, so did many dishes by hand. We have stayed at many VRBO’s and have never had this problem. The place was in a great location and was very clean. Just not as well stocked as what we were expecting.

The host was great at communicating, including being very flexible when our flights were cancelled and needed to stay an extra night unexpectedly.The condo is just as advertised and really well stocked with the essentials for 5 people. However I can’t say enough about how great the location is. So convenient to walk to many grocery stores, restaurants, etc.We would definitely stay here again!
