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.
Kihei Resort is a low-rise, garden-style condo complex that guests describe as peaceful, friendly, and an excellent value. The setting feels like a tropical oasis with lush landscaping, water features, and a small, well-kept pool, hot tub, and BBQs. Many units have been recently renovated and are clean, comfy, and well equipped with full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, reliable Wi‑Fi, and thoughtful extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers, snorkel gear, and even guidebooks. Hosts and managers are widely praised for clear communication, easy check‑in, and quick, helpful responses.
Location is a major plus: the property sits across the street from a long beach and the historic Kalepolepo Fishpond—great for sunsets and frequent turtle sightings—while remaining centrally placed for exploring Wailea, Lahaina/Napili, Haleakalā, Road to Hana, and the airport. Note it’s not oceanfront and most units don’t have views; the nearest beach is calm and sometimes rocky/murky, with South Kihei/Wailea’s swimmier strands a short drive away. The vibe is more residential than resorty, so restaurants and shops are best reached by car. Many guests enjoy trade‑wind breezes through louvered windows and ceiling fans; AC is available in most units when needed.
Common caveats reflect the quiet nature of the complex and its layout rather than individual units: some units near S. Kihei Road report traffic noise (light sleepers may prefer back‑of‑complex units or use fans/earplugs), upstairs footsteps can carry, and a few stalls are tight for larger vehicles. The on‑site manager enforces pool and quiet‑hours rules, which many appreciate but some families find strict; pool/hot tub hours can feel limited. Island norms apply—occasional ants or minor maintenance hiccups do pop up—but are typically addressed quickly. Overall, this is a serene, well-equipped home base ideal for couples and families who value a calm setting, easy beach access, and strong bang for the buck.

It's location being right off the main road was nice. All the updated amenities. Very clean and nice to have a well maintained hot tub and swimming pool. We found it to be quiet at night. It was highly enjoyed by family that visited. It made our special occasion worth it! Thank You very much. Oh and affordable.

Location was nice and quiet with lush vegetation as the view from the lanai. AC was excellent in the room and living room. The amenities such as beach chairs, umbrella, towels were provided along with a brand new cooler bag. The in room laundry and dishwasher was working well as well as soap and detergent. We loved our stay here as everything was up to date and working. No complaints at all.

The unit is nothing too fancy, but it's very nice and the ac keeps it cool. The in-unit washing machine was so clutch to have. It's in a great spot to hit the beach or whatever else you want to do on the island. The zen garden is very well kept and nice to be in. I didn't try the pool but it looked clean and inviting! Everyone we interacted with was very nice as well.Would definitely stay here again!

he beachfront I expected, but was close. The reviewers comments about the turtles sold me. And, I did find the Burton my last day. The condo was clean, kitchen had all the utensils and dishes that you should need. The air conditioner in the bedroom was LOUD!! It was needed the first night due to condo being closed up prior to my arrival. However, by the second day, when I had time to open the windows and get cross ventilation going, I didn’t need the air conditioners. Would stay here again if I ever get back to Maui.

I honestly tried to find something negative, but there’s just nothing worth mentioning. Maybe the fridge didn’t make ice, though that seemed to be a user issue from a previous guest, but who cares when you have such a clean, comfortable place that feels like home.Whether you want a good night’s sleep, cook a nice meal, do laundry, or relax on the terrace with a view of a well-kept garden, everything is in perfect order. No AC needed either open the windows and let the Maui breeze take care of the rest. Right across the street is one of the longest beaches, ideal for sunset walks or spotting sea turtles in the evening. Please admire them quietly and give them space.After a full day of hiking, we loved ending the evening in the pool or soaking in the hot jacuzzi. And whenever we had a question, Suane was quick to help with friendly and helpful advice.This place is great whether you're here for hiking, the beach, or both, just like we did.

A bit unfortunate. Shower was not draining to the point it was not usable, parking stall could not fit midsize SUV and still be able to open doors. Texted issues... but did not get response for over 48 hours... didnt feel like it would be addressed so we moved out and requested cancel/refund... hoping for the best. Unit was well equiped... just did not fit our expectations.

The condo was super comfortable and stylish, and the whole complex quite nice and quiet. The kitchen had plenty of everything to make food and coffee at home. Bed was comfortable, I sleep with blinds open but dark curtains for those who don't. Trade winds and fans keeping the place nice and cool day or night. I did not have to use AC. Laundry in the condo so great to have on Maui. The host and manager were extremely helpful, responsive and nice. I would definitely stay there again.

This little condo provided what we needed to have an affordable and easy getaway in Maui. We appreciated the location as a good central spot from which to drive to spots around the island. It was so nice to have chairs, umbrella, laundry, shampoo provided. We enjoyed the quiet garden area and pool. The communication with the host was excellent.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The condo had everything we could ask for and the bed was very comfortable. All the pictures and listings were very accurate. I highly recommend this place to anyone that may be looking for a comfortable condo while enjoying their stay in Maui.

Very affordable, great place. Right next to an area where Sea Turtles are visible at night on the beach! Stay 10 feet away from those guys though!

It was pretty much as described and met our needs.It was in a pretty good location for our requirements, and not too far from the port for our snorkelling trip.

This property was exactly as described. Very clean with all the amenities necessary. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was there to visit family so I didn’t need to use the kitchen. I also needed to work remotely and it was very easy to setup my workstation at the kitchen counter. Wi-Fi was very good. There was one comment from a prior stay that was accurate. The unit is close to the street and parking lot so, on the weekends especially, you could hear the loud cars and people talking. I did not find it necessary to run the AC in both the bedroom and living room, however, if the bedroom AC was on, you probably would not hear any outside noise. The host was very accessible. I would stay again.

Great little place across from the beach. Very central to everywhere we wanted to go. It’s so nice to stay where you have a full kitchen so you can save a bit on food. Having a washer/dryer was great as well. We enjoyed our stay

This property has everything you need. Towels, beach equipment, coolers, etc. Full kitchen, really nice living room space, and a wonderfully peaceful porch. Perfect for our family of 4! Super close to the beach (quick walk) and super close to a bunch of restaurants.

This was the perfect condo for us. The kitchen was newly renovated with all new appliances and countertops. We had breakfast at the condo every morning and packed a lunch and were gone all day. The air conditioner in the living room, produced cooler air than the one in the bedroom so we stayed on the living room bed a couple nights. The road was a little noisy, but we were fine if we turned the fan on the air conditioner on low and put earplugs in. Overall very happy with the condo and location!

First off- the hostess was amazing. She had the place ready early for us. The condo is older but updated and clean. It was in a good location with easy beach access. I'd definitely stay there again.This is not in a resort area, more of a neighborhood with some resorts around. Traffic was minimal aroundd the condo. Close shopping, food, etc.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was full of everything you need, with some extras. We loved how close it was to the beach. We missed the instructions and had a little difficulty working the pull out couch, but Susan communicated with us that she got it figured out. Parking is in the rear of the complex, the front parking is for residents only. Overall it was a nice trip. Good location and good price. We would definitely stay there again for our next trip!

Property was clean, and had everything you would need. Great location & amenities. Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, even snorkels and boogie boards! Host was extremely quick to respond to any questions that came up. Highly recommend staying here.

There are so many amenities that aren't even listed that were such a great surprise. The bed in the bedroom is a massaging gravity zero bed that was soooo soft just what you would love to have after a long day out. In the living room the sofa bed is italian custom not those cheap pull outs. There is everything you would love in this unit including beach chairs, an emergency kit, enough trash bags and quality product shampoo not the cheap kind. The only thing that unfortunately didn't work for me was that the bedroom is on the street side and I could never sleep past 6 because of the traffic noise. My husband is not a light sleeper so it didn't bother him at all but I am so just giving some warning to light sleepers. Other than that this place is worth every penny.

My wife and I extended our honeymoon by two extra days and needed a new place to stay because the other rental that we booked was not able to accommodate. We were pleasantly surprised by this property. It was very nicely updated, very clean, and comfortable. My only complaint is that the designated parking spot was pretty tight to get in and out of (we rented a jeep wrangler). Otherwise, zero complaints. We wish we booked this spot for our entire stay on this island.

Where do I begin, this place was an amazing home base for the visit to Maui! Location was great, upgraded kitchen fully stocked with needed equipment. Easy access to the pool and other amenities, and 2 minute walk to a long stretch of beaches. Bed was comfy, beach chairs and towels provided - not to mention the host Susan was tentative and timely in all questions. I will be back!
