What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 792 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 Sands’ intimate, low-key vibe and unbeatable beachfront setting on Sugar Beach. The small, well-kept complex sits steps from soft sand and a long, walkable shoreline with gorgeous sunsets and winter whale watching. Guests praise the friendly onsite team and the social, relaxed community feel fostered by the oceanfront patio with loungers, BBQs, and complimentary morning coffee. Its North Kihei location is quiet yet central for exploring the island, with easy drives to Wailea, Lahaina-side outings, and Maalaea Harbor—plus a pleasant beach walk to the ABC store, Sugar Beach Bake Shop, a small farmers market, and Ululani’s Shave Ice.

Condos are individually owned, but many are renovated, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked with full kitchens, comfy beds, A/C, and lots of beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels). Families and couples appreciate the small-community atmosphere, easy beach and pool access, and the ability to book multiple units for reunions or weddings. Guests also like the coin-op laundry, responsive management, and little extras like communal beach toys and helpful local tips.

Common watch-outs: this is not a big-resort scene—nights are quiet and you’ll want a car for most dining and activities. Parking stalls are tight (a compact car helps), there’s no elevator, and many 2BRs have an open loft upstairs with stairs and less privacy. The pool is small and unheated, and Sugar Beach often has silty water and afternoon trade winds; it’s great for walks, paddling, and swimming on calmer mornings, but serious snorkeling is usually better farther south. As with any tropical location, occasional ants or maintenance hiccups pop up, and amenities can vary by unit, so check listings for layout (e.g., lofts) and note that laundry is shared/coin-operated. Overall, the strong trend is a spotless, friendly, truly beachfront boutique stay with a home-away-from-home feel.

Lovely, clean property you can tell the staff take a lot of pride in. Coffee each morning on the beachfront patio was a highlight. Condo was well-equipped with everything needed, comfortable accommodations. Even had 5 Tommy Bahama chairs, perfect for our crew! Mahalo for the memories!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first trip to Hawaii, and Kihei Sands made it truly memorable. The property is beautifully maintained and ideally located—close to the beaches and hiking spots we explored around Maui. We especially loved the lush tropical plants and vibrant flowers throughout the resort.While the ocean right out front wasn’t the clearest for swimming, the beach itself was great for walks and hanging out at. You could walk the beach to the local ABC, farmers’ market, shaved Ice and bakery. The pool and patio areas were also fantastic—clean, comfortable, and inviting.Our condo had a charming beachy vibe and a lovely ocean-view balcony. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, the cozy second-story loft bedroom, and thoughtful touches like plenty of beach towels, chairs, a cooler, umbrellas, and more. It was great that the resort also offered pool and beach toys to borrow. In the mornings we enjoyed the complimentary coffee and tea on the patio while watching the boats go by. We can’t wait to return—Kihei Sands truly felt like a home away from home.

If you're looking for a great location, this is it. However, we weren't blown away by anything this condo offered and it wasn't the best experience overall. We arrived on the island a couple hours early and knew we had to burn some time so we went sightseeing and shopping. At 3:45pm, we arrived since it was after the 3:00pm check-in to find out condo still being cleaned. The property manager let us know the previous guests had made a mess of the place. While it only took another 15 minutes or so to get in, a text or call earlier would have been nice so we wouldn't have to arrive and wait. We were given 100 in gift cards to a lunch spot in Kihei that was mediocre, but the gesture was appreciated. Once inside, the condo was small, but correct to it's listing description. However, we found a number of dirty items in the kitchen. The bathrooms don't have shower doors so just a heads up that you'll have to lay down 3 towels to keep the floors from getting slick. The narrow stairway makes it difficult to carry luggage up and down, so be mindful of that. Overall, we didn't spend too much time in the condo and enjoyed the beach and the island so we just settled with the condo and it's imperfections. If you're wanting more comforts and cleanliness on Maui, look nearby but not here.

I have never been in a rental property that felt this cozy and homely as this one. I expected to book this stay for the beachfront property but we ended up loving the apartment so much that some days we jst hung out inside with the patio door open listening to the waves and reading. Would 100% go back.

We stayed for a week and had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked, keurig coffee maker as well as drip coffee machine. In the mornings we loved being able to take a few steps to fill up our tumblers with freshly brewed coffee. We would then take a few more steps to start our long walk down the beach. The sand is super soft and the beach is clean. We felt the location was great as first time visitors. It was close to the airport, many restaurants, marker zero to get on the road to Hana as well as the road to Haleakala. We also walked to the very popular bakery and snow cone shop down the road. We visited nearby beaches, Kam III, Mākena state beach park, and Ka’anapali beach. The harbor to get on a sunset sail in Maalaea was only a ten minute drive. We didn’t make it to the ocean center aquarium but that’s also by the harbor. The other visitors we encountered at Kihei sands were all friendly and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. It was so great to have beach chairs, ice chest, and an umbrella available for our use. Also a plus is the beach and pool toys kept outside for kids to enjoy. The grounds are very well kept. It seemed like at least twice a day the ground would be hosed off by staff. Host was quick to respond and helpful. Overall great stay and can’t wait to be back!

Each condo is so beautifully done with landscaping grounds that compliment the Island beauty. The efficiency of check in and departure could not be easier--and the amenities leaving nothing missing. This is our second time and we plan on returning every chance we get! We so appreciate the team there and all that they do to make every visit and incredible one. Big big thanks to them all, for everything they do and so professionalism! Every detail organized and worked out to make it as easy as possible for guests.--Love this place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an excellent time during our stay at Kihei Sands Condo. They supplied everything we needed for the beach, towels, umbrella and chairs. The condo and condo grounds were clean and comfortable. The patio allowed for cooking on the grill and tables to enjoy dinner at the beach. Many people used this amenity which allowed us to chat with other guests. It was a good location that allowed us to get from place to place without long travel times.

Lovely property - with a beach that while we were there basically couldn’t be used as the wind just blew sand all over us. The pool was great though. The issue for us was upon arriving after 3 flights and long days to get there at 9 pm the door code on the door was dead. There was not any way into the home. We called the owner 2 times, left a message, called the emergency person no answer and no return call - went to the main office no one. Luckily we found Connie who gave us a spare key - we were to return it the next day when the manager was supposed to get with us to turn in the ONLY key for our unit. He never called or stopped by. We stopped by the office every day for the 4 days we were there to try and arrange the door brung fixed. Never heard from the owner, the manager or the emergency person! Thank goodness we had the one and only key and never lost it.

We loved that it was quiet and low key with not a lot of activity going on around us, but just a few minutes drive to whatever we wanted to do. We will absolutely stay here again.

This was the best trip I have ever made, and a majority of it has to go to Kelly’s condo. The location is one of the best parts of the trip, being right next to the water and close to all the areas we wanted to travel to. The location is very quiet, and we had an amazing overall time and will definitely be staying here again.

We stayed here for four days. Perfect for my husband and I and our two adult children. We just loved it! The condo development is small, quiet and just so lovely. We spent as much time outside enjoying the beach setting. Located in longest sand beach on Maui you'll love the morning walks. The condo has a great common area for grilling, eating, swimming, relaxing and looking out at the beautiful scenery. Our condo had everything we needed. We absolutely loved Maui, centrally located so you can get everywhere very easily for touristy excursions. We loved everything about our stay. Dreamy and wonderful memories.

The units are ample for singles , couples and smallish families. My husband and I had a one bedroom unit and our daughter had another one bedroom unit and our daughter, son in law and two children had a second floor unit with two bedrooms. The property is small which makes it friendly and comfortable. The kitchenettes were just perfect and well equipped with full sized fridge, range and microwave. We used the barbeques a lot and the outdoor area had tables large enough to seat eight easily. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we would definitely return. This property is just a few steps from the beach and walking on the beach is endless .

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our condo and the property as a whole were very comfortable and extremely well maintained. The staff was very pleasant and responsive. We had a problem with the AC and they found a repairman within a couple of hours! The beach itself is very nice, but water quality was not so great, in that it was kind of silty, probably from the slope of the beach. Safe and Ok to swim in but low visibility. I don't know if this is always an issue or just due to the conditions at the time. The location is in a fairly congested area in terms of traffic, but since the property is well back from the road, not noisy at all.
