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.

Travelers consistently love Kihei Kai Nani’s location: it’s directly across the street from Kamaole Beach Park II, perfect for daily swims, snorkeling, and postcard sunsets. The grounds feel friendly and well kept, with a large, rarely crowded pool, BBQ areas, and easy parking. Many units are thoughtfully stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and well-equipped kitchens, and several have lanais with garden peek-a-boo or ocean views. The complex is walkable to cafes, shave ice, shops, gear rentals, and casual restaurants, and it’s a convenient base for exploring Wailea and the rest of Maui.

Stays feel more like a homey beach condo than a resort. Individual units vary—some newly renovated with upgraded kitchens and split AC, others simple but comfortable—yet most guests report clean spaces, responsive hosts, and good value for the area. Families and couples appreciate the laid-back vibe, the big pool, and the ability to cook in, then cross the street for sunset. First-floor units are popular for easy access; note the property’s 2–3 story buildings generally do not have elevators.

Common trade-offs reflect the complex’s age and condo-style setup. Air conditioning is often a single window unit in the living room (sometimes on a timer), so bedrooms can run warm; if you run hot, look for units with bedroom AC or plan on fans/tradewinds. Many condos don’t have in‑suite laundry (coin-op is onsite), and front buildings can pick up early-morning service-truck noise or the occasional rooster, while units set back are quieter. A few guests mention dated furnishings or minor pest sightings typical of the tropics, but the recurring theme is a clean, well-stocked, walk-everywhere base that delivers excellent beach access and value without full-service resort frills.

Clear and easy instructions. Well appointed kitchen with sharp knives and good pans. Perfect view and access to pool and beach and sea breezes. Beach chairs umbrella and cooler all provided and a convenient location with a clean apartment. Far enough from the beach to not hear the road noise but close enough to be the most convenient bathroom when on the sand.

Unit was super clean. The location was fantastic with respect to the beach, retail shops, eateries, and access to various areas of Maui.

This unit was in the back of the complex so made it very quiet. I actually enjoy the little extra walking. Very nice kitchen and great host plus with the ceiling fans the a/c was not required. Excellent over all and plan to return.

We enjoyed our stay at Kai Nani. Location was great as it was central to everything in Kihei and Wailea. We had a car so everywhere was a short drive. Would’ve been a longer walk to food truck park, grocery store, etc without a car for sure. So nice to have Kamaole Beach II right across the street. The condo had everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped, laundry soap provided was a bonus, enough towels for our family of 3. We liked having the Murphy bed for our son. Appreciated the 2 beach chairs, cooler, snorkel masks. We rented fins and boogie boards and were good to go. Auntie’s snorkel was right next door and rental rates were reasonable. Lots of parking at this resort and the pool was refreshing. Was grateful for the A/C units but they are loud. Got used to it at night. Opening the front door and patio door for a cross breeze helped. I have pretty high standards for cleaning so I felt the unit was clean but could’ve been given a deeper clean before we arrived. I told the property management team about this. And finally, I knew there were lots of chickens roaming free in Maui, but because this unit is on the end of the building, we are next to a vacant lot where chickens live. The roosters start calling at 4:30am and don’t stop. It’s hilarious but it’s loud. We turned the A/C units on at 4:30am to drown out the noise. We would stay here again :)

Super communicative host, and the condo was exactly what I was hoping for on my first trip to Hawaii! Whenever I had any questions, my host was quick to get back to me. The location was perfect for walking to the beach/ocean, shops, groceries, restaurants, places to see! The unit being on a corner surrounded by trees was super. The balcony was delightful at all hours.

The dishes in the cupboard were almost all still dirty and had to all be rewashed before using. Host provided minimal supplies (trash bags, toilet paper etc) and the bathtub didn’t drain well at all. Provided beach chairs but they were pretty rusted and the zippers didn’t work. The unit was overall clean, met our basic needs, and the location was great.

Karen’s condo was very well equipped with all of the kitchen amenities and a great range of beach accessories-toys, chairs, umbrellas…. It is quite private with a bbq close by and a nice grassy area next to the lanai. Karen is an exceptional host who is quick to respond to queries and deal with any concerns immediately. For the price, this condo is an excellent choice. We have stayed in a couple of others that were not as nice and they were markedly more expensive. That said, realize that Kihei Kai Nani resort is 55 years old and shows its age in some ways. With one exception, that being the woman at the front desk, the staff are pleasant, hard working and reliable. We had four interactions with the front desk employee and every interaction left a foul taste. If you avoid her, you will likely enjoy a very positive stay at KKN. One final note; the bedroom is close to the parking lot and many people, including the annoying front desk employee, auto lock their cars, with the accompanying horn sounding, in the early morning hours.

Enjoyed the location, ample parking and the quietness of unit. I probably misread it, but I thought there was a washer and dryer in the unit. There was not. Did not need one, but thought there was one.

The place was clean and a wonderful location. Some coffee and shampoo in the unit would have made for a more comfortable stay, especially since many flights arrive late at night. Mahalo.

Some nice renovations evident in this condo but the overall property is fairly old and there is some evidence of a ‘patchwork fix’ in some details in the condo. Street noise is difficult to avoid since the unit is 50’ away from the busy S Kihei Rd and the lanai is only a few feet away from a large parking lot and pathway to the beach. There is no privacy on the lanai but lots of people will greet you if you’re out there for breakfast, dinner, a beer…. The unit is well stocked with everything from flatware to utensils to beach stuff… and all of good quality.

Another magical stay at Bob’s in Kihei! Bob was a very attentive host as always, making sure we had all of the information needed to make sure our stay was comfortable. We love this location being across the street from the beach and having one of the biggest outdoor pools in Kihei. Looking forward to our next stay! Thanks Bob!

Karen was a wonderful, accommodating host, and the condo was spotless with everything I needed for a weekend in Kihei. Beach gear was in great shape, condo was cozy and in an amazing location right next to Kamaole 2. Being a corner unit on the second floor made for a quiet stay with a lovely breeze through the windows and lanai screen door. Would very happily stay here again. Mahalo!

We stayed 9 nights here and it was perfect. Great location, really comfortable, tasteful accommodations (with AC!) and the host was welcoming and an excellent communicator. Kitchen was well equipped and a super comfortable bed and bedroom. My husband loved the cherry wood cabinets. We would definitely come back to this condo when visiting Maui again. Thank you Mark and Pam!

Condo was very comfortable and in a great location. Good view of the ocean from the balcony. The beach was a 100 meter walk from the front door of the unit. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. The host had a lot of helpful suggestions. Highly recommended!

The bed was really uncomfortable- after the 8th night I slept on the floor. Had to get a massage and was in pain. No can opener and lacked some basic kitchen items. Sadly it is in a beautiful location, but is in need of updates.

November 2025

Amazing location, great unit. The deck is awesome. Very roomy. The big bummer was the lack of decent curtains in the bedroom. At first light, the bedroom will flood with light as the windows are on the east and northeast walls. My fiancee barely got any sleep throughout the stay and so you know what that means for me. So while I loved many parts of the condo, the curtains, and lacking of them, overshadowed a lot of it so that kicks a 4 or 5 down to a 3 for me, unfortunately.

A little dated but clean,carpet in bedroom and living room.We were woken up by delivery trucks a couple of mornings at 3 am,turned on the air to drown it out.Beautiful lanai!

Have stayed in many Kihei Kai Nani condos and condos elsewhere. This was the best equipped condo I have ever been in. It had EVERYTHING one might need or want. It was clean, comfortable, great on-site owners in case there is an issue, great location. Highly, highly recommend this condo!

Jack has a top-notch response time and is a great host. We love staying at Kihei Kai Nani. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxing. The beach is across the road. A rinse station is provided at the entrance of the parking lot so you can rinse off before returning. We had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves.

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: This rental is situated in a perfect location, especially if you don't have a car. It was super clean, and the grounds are immaculately manicured. Steps from the pool which was really nice and friendly, as well as steps from the beach. Restaurants, shops and happy hour a few minute walk. Other residents are very respectful, it's not a loud party place. I had a restful getaway and great place to work remotely. I would love to come back!

We are return visitors to Mr. Wilson's Condos for 15 years. There is not much more we can say about this excellent host and property. Truly 5 star. The location is perfect, directly across the street from the beach with restaurants in walking distance. The condo is very clean, fully equipped, and very comfortable. Pool is large and spacious for tanning, relaxing after a morning at the beach. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy paradise.

What dishes we had were nice but it would have been nice to have more than 3 dinner plates. The floor could have been scrubbed. The biggest disappointment was having cockroaches in the condo. I understand Hawaii has pests however they were very well established and when we asked for help. Sunny vacations gave us one bait trap. We pray we don’t bring them home with us. It was very uncomfortable looking for bugs for all the time. The two we killed last were huge!
