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.

First, the host, Bonnie, was fantastic. From booking through checkout, communication was easy and prompt. We had a few questions along the way and she always responded quickly and helpfully, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.You truly can’t beat the location.. just a short walk to Kamaole II Beach and within walking distance to several great restaurants and shops. Being so close to the beach made it perfect for our family. The complex itself is quiet, the neighbors are friendly, and we always felt comfortable and at ease.The condo is quaint, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked with just about everything you could need. I appreciated all the little extras like chopsticks, a coffee scoop, a crock pot, and even hair tools! There were plenty of beach chairs and some snorkeling gear on the lanai as well. We rented an umbrella online for under 10 from Aunty’s in the nearby plaza, which was super convenient. Having a washer and dryer in the unit (with detergent provided) was a huge bonus and honestly made me wish I had packed lighter!We traveled with our kids (14 and 12), and they slept comfortably in the living room (one on the Murphy bed and one on the sofa bed). Just a note for families, there are no window coverings in the living room, so it does get bright early in the morning. However, a large tree outside provides good privacy for the unit overall.We would not hesitate to book again! P.S. - If you stay, don't forget to sign the guest book!

Absolutely perfect location, nice quiet grounds, but also fun and lively. The pool is large and refreshing and the laundry room is big clean and has two LARGE efficient dryers. 2.50 per load to wash. Walking distance to ABC store, discount liquor store (aloha vibes!) Fred’s restaurant is right next-door, which is super epic for walking across the street after a day at the beach we watched whales breaching from the deck while eating dinner. Also, right next-door opens first thing at sunrise, paddleboard, kayak, beach, equipment rentals and a coffee shop.The room was perfect clean spacious had everything we needed for a beach day. The bed was comfortable and the lanai has an ocean view! 10/10

Host was great! My parents needed a place asap since their hotel reservation was canceled and they were able to accommodate quickly. They responded back fast and got the condo ready before check in time! They enjoyed their stay here. If they were able to give 10 stars they would!

Our stay was excellent! Host communication was great throughout, location can't get any better. Right across the street from Kam II beach, very short walk to either Kam I and Kam III. Lots of shops and restaurants either within walking distance or very short drive. Everything in the condo was nice and clean, quiet, and private. Thank you!

Great location! Can’t complain about being across the street from the beach! However the unit could use new carpet and A/C in the bedroom. Host was very accommodating about a late check out. Good communication from host and she had several good suggestions for food.

Great location, close to beaches and grounds kept clean. Loved the pool and amenities and ground level lanai. Thankful for full kitchen and comfortable bed. No smoke detector located in unit and bathroom fan did not work, those were negatives for this space for us.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this Kīhei condo! The location truly can’t be beat — directly across from the beach with stunning ocean views and the most amazing sunsets every single night. Being able to walk across the street for morning beach time and evening sunset strolls was such a luxury.The condo itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From beach chairs and towels to a well-equipped kitchen, it felt like every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The bed was super comfortable, the AC worked great, and we loved relaxing on the lanai with the ocean breeze.The host was fantastic — responsive, helpful, and made everything seamless from booking through checkout. Clear instructions, great local recommendations, and genuine hospitality made us feel so welcome.Kīhei is such a perfect home base for exploring Maui, and having restaurants, shops, and beaches all within minutes made this stay even better.We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, convenient, and beautiful Maui escape!Mahalo for an unforgettable trip!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. This was our 3rd time in Kihei and we have something to compare with.We really appreciated that all appliances were clean and functioned well.We appreciated that we did not once see an insect inside the condo.We could not figure out how the TV works :)It did start working in the end (I couldn’t say what made it work) and I think an instruction sheet would be very beneficial, at least for us!The condo had some beach equipment on the lanai (chairs, umbrella, some beach toys), guests should be prepared to rent snorkeling kits if they are into snorkeling.Overall, a great place to stay, we would book it again.

Location was great, just a short walk to the beach and lots of restaurants near the condo.Easy to get into condo when we arrived. Any questions we had before we arrived, were replied to quickly.Condo had everything we needed.Chairs on the Lanai were very comfortable as we sat and enjoyed the view of the beach.

It is an older unit, but clean, well maintained, and comfortable. My only quibble is the timers on the air conditioners. We were there in January and didn't bother to turn them on. But I think for someone there in the summer, having the A/C in the bedroom turn off in the middle of the night would be a real inconvenience.

The unit is small, but managed to have everything we needed. AC only in one room (see note) Beds were comfortable and the bedding is high quality. The location really can't be beat. Great coffee right next door. Easy walk to the beaches, restaurants, and shops.Notes:1. AC--There is only an AC unit in the common room where the sofa bed and Murphy bed are. There is no AC in the Master BR. We were able to get good airflow with the fans during the day so it was fairly comfortable at night... Except for the first night because it had been closed up all day.2. Privacy--There are no shades in the common room where the two extra beds are, so we felt a bit exposed.

The place is terrific and clean, excellent shower (a must for my wife), and right off the beach. The unit is set back far enough to silence the road noise of Kihei Road but an easy walk to the ocean. Lots of free parking too! Rent a car and roam Maui! Do not miss the Cinnamon Roll Place just next door (closed Tuesdays) for the freshest, most delicious cinnamon rolls on the planet. Nicely appointed kitchen with large refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher.

The property is well situated with the ocean view advertised and very good accomodations. There is everything you would need in the kitchen. However, if you want hot water for a shower this is not the place for you. The owner knew he had a defective hot water cartridge he couldn’t replace before our stay and never told us. No matter when we tried to have a hot shower it was only hot for 20 seconds (I timed it) and then at best only luke warm or cold. Not fair. There are alsoNo written directions on how to operate direct tv, dvd or micro which when one is unfamiliar with these things makes them difficult or unusable.

The host is very communicative, considerate and friendly. We had a wonderful vacation in this condo! It is stocked with EVERYTHING you could ever need. The bed is very comfortable, the AC is cold (but who needs it?) although we did have it on for a few hours at night, but other than that, we let the breeze do it’s thing. The lanai is the star of this place. We could not wait to get out there every morning for a coffee. (Even a peekaboo view of the ocean and a couple sunsets) Restaurants, shops and beaches surround this place, all walking distance. The location is outstanding. More than an adequate amount of parking spaces. Looking forward to next year!

This is a nice condo in a great location, right across the street from a sizable beach. The pool is good as well, with few people in it most of the time. The kitchen was mostly stocked although we had to buy pans, and a spatula. The lanai was set up well, but biting ants kept it from being a great place to hang out. The days start early with lots of roosters around, as well as tourists setting off car alarms etc. I previously owned two condos two blocks away, but Kihei Kai Nani was my choice this trip as it was way more affordable to stay three weeks.

Our condo complex was in an excellent location, across the street from Kihei's Kamaole Beach II, and our unit was very comfortable. Appliances, dishes, cookware, and beach amenities were very well supplied. The bed was comfortable and our unit was very quiet, located at the back of the complex, away from street noise. We only needed to contact the owner/host once, and he replied almost immediately.

January 2026

Communication with host was brilliant. The location, amenities and view were all awesome.

This is a great unit in the Kihei Kai Nani rentals complex. The place had everything we needed for our stay including a beach umbrella and Tommy Bahama beach chairs. Bed was comfortable and kitchen and bathrooms were clean and well looked after.Could not ask for a better location for the price. The beach across the road offers amazing sunsets and whale watching. There are a number of great value restaurants within a few minutes walking distance including Moose McGillycuddy's, Fred's Mexican Cafe, Coconuts Fish Cafe, Maui Thai Bistro and Koa Brewing for great coffee in the morning and wood fired pizza in the evening.For the best paddle boarding or long boarding it's a five minute drive to Cove Beach Park and you can hire a board from nearby Maui Waveriders. The owner was very responsive via the VRBO app. Mahalo, would gladly stay again.

We had an excellent stay at Kihei Kai Nani Resort. The layout of the unit was thoughtfully designed, making it feel open, comfortable, and easy to relax in. The furnishings were well chosen—attractive, modern, and very comfortable—and the overall setup was perfect for both short and extended stays.The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals at home, which was a huge plus. The space was clean, welcoming, and clearly well cared for.One of the biggest highlights is the location. The resort is super close to the beach—just steps away—making it incredibly convenient for swimming, sunsets, and long beach walks. The grounds are well maintained and quiet, with a relaxed, island feel.Additional highlights and recommendations:Beach chairs and beach towels providedClose to nearby cafés, food trucks, and shops within easy walking distanceThe pool and BBQ area looked great for low-key evenings after the beach--but we didn't use themOverall, Kihei Kai Nani is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a true Maui experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great location, directly across street from the beach. Walking friendly area with many restaurants, coffee shops nearby. Mark, the owner, was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The unit was extremely clean, newly remodeled, great water pressure in shower, and plenty blankets/towels. While we didn’t use them, there were also quite a few beach supplies including boogie boards, snorkel gear, chairs and towels. Had a very positive experience - would love to stay again!

I really enjoyed my stay here, ‘twas clean, comfortable, conveniently located, with a very relaxing view from the lanai, of the beach/ocean, right across the street. I also had the good fortune to have booked while the owners were staying in the unit next door, so I had the pleasure of meeting Bob & Anita, a lovely couple, who obviously take pride in their properties.I look forward to staying here againMahalo,Scott

Would definitely stay here again! The place had everything we needed, including plenty of towels, beach chairs, dish soap, and a few laundry pods. The ground floor lanai is elevated from ground level so it was lovely and quiet. Not an issue for us but for others to note- there are about 10 stairs to get to the unit and no elevator. Great place!!

Great 1 BR condo with plenty of amenities. The location could not be better!! Centrally located to a majority of activities. You are DIRECTLY across from the beach in a pedestrian friendly area. Tons of local shopping & restaurants if you don't rent a car! The condo has great beach amenities the chairs are awesome!! We saw great sunsets & whales right at the beach! Has a nice pool with plenty of chairs, although we did not go there a lot. The bed was comfortable, plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, beach towels etc. we did not use the stove/oven, everything else was in working order. Hosts were excellent, easy check-in & info!!

The condo was good and the only issue we had were the bugs. They were very tiny so, we really couldn't tell what they were. After a couple days, we finally went to the office to complain and the office manager gave us some Terro bug traps. The person mentioned the bugs were called "ghost ants" which kinda makes sense due to how small they were as it made them a little hard to see. We definitely could not leave any food out for even 2 minutes without it being swarmed by these bugs.
