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.
Guests consistently love Maui Sunset’s setting and vibe. The oceanfront lawns are meticulously kept (often compared to a golf green), with a large, clean pool and hot tub, well‑maintained BBQs, tennis/pickleball courts, shuffleboard, a small putting green, and even an herb garden. Sunsets are a nightly event from the lawn or lanais, and many guests spot turtles on the beach and whales in season. The Kihei location is a standout: central for day trips across Maui, close to groceries, food trucks, and restaurants, with ample parking and a family‑friendly, low‑key atmosphere and quiet hours at night.
Units vary by owner, but many are spacious, comfortable, and well equipped for longer stays, with full kitchens, in‑suite washer/dryers, and lots of beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel sets). Larger layouts (2–3 bedrooms, often 2–3 baths) work well for families and groups, and Murphy beds are frequently praised as more comfortable than typical sofa beds. Numerous reviewers highlight responsive hosts and smooth communication, plus great lanais for morning coffee and evening sunset viewing.
Common trade‑offs to know: the shoreline out front is pretty for walks and wildlife but often rocky or murky, so most guests drive a few minutes to Kamaole or Wailea beaches to swim and snorkel. Buildings are older, and quality differs by unit—some are freshly updated and spotless; others feel dated or need a deeper clean—so choose carefully if finishes matter. Many condos use wall A/C units on 4‑hour timers that can be loud or require a nighttime reset, and “starter” supplies are typical (don’t count on condiments). Ground‑floor units offer unbeatable lawn access for kids but less privacy; upper floors trade stair/elevator time for bigger views and quieter stays. Overall, travelers rate Maui Sunset highly for value, amenities, sunsets, and a relaxed, family‑friendly base to explore South Maui.

Loved the things to do on the island! The location was great and the short walk to the beach was amazing. Front desk staff were helpful and very nice. We used the pool and hot tub often and enjoyed them both. The condo itself was a bit dated. Amenities were lacking such as no extra sheets, not many towels, missing common utensils like a bottle opener. The condo was fine to come back to, but could have been better. Check in also could have been better. Our relatives stayed in a separate condo and were able to get into their room with a door code. We had to wait for someone to show up with the keys and it was clear they were not excited to be there.

We arrived in the evening after traveling all day, ready to rest.The house was very clean, and spacious. Plenty of room for a family of 5. The host provided plenty of convenient add ones. Beach toys, chairs. Located near lots of things to do. Places to eat. Plenty of beaches to visit along this road. Elevator access was very convenient. Overall would recommend.

The overall stay was great & pleasant, as it has been over the last 3yrs of us staying at this property. There were 2 issues, that I advised the front office of, and was not able to reach out to the property owner for, as time or internet would not allow. 1st issue) and greatest concern was the ROACHES. There were several through out the kitchen area. 2nd issue) there was a super foul odor that came from the Murphy bed.. it was so bad, that we kept the patio door open and kept the MB door shut. It smells like a sour sweaty gym sock. I washed the bedding and changed it several times and still was pretty smelly.

Really enjoyed our 4 days here. Plenty of room for 4 adults to hang out. Having a washer and dryer were nice additions. Location is perfect with the beach just steps away. Pool and hot tub appear to have been recently remodeled and are very nice. Overall a great stay.

The kitchen was okay. The dishes, pans and utensils had remnants from the previous guests. The bedding had an unusual odor and the bed in the living room area was not cleaned.

The location was nice. I always stay at Maui Sunset when I come to Maui. There were a couple problems. The A/C unit was leaking water all over the back deck area, when I stepped out on it I slipped and fell on the hard tile, not the way I wanted to start out. The bed was very uncomfortable the bathrooms smelt like mold and were very small. The furniture was uncomfortable, they was no room for suitcases. The view was great, kitchen was great but,….. that was about it. I will not be staying at this condo again, sorry

Place had hair on the floors and tub. Kitchenware really needs to be updated. Pullout bed not in good condition. Need to go elsewhere for the beach. The property beach area was very small and not a place to hangout. Beautiful though.Location was good for travel easy access to travel to other locations on the island. Pool/hot tub were nice and well maintained although their snack area was never open. Friendly staff.

I booked this 2-bedroom condo on the beach expecting it to match the photos, but the reality was very different. The "resort" is dated, and the pool looks more like a public pool with block walls. When I arrived, check-in was supposed to be at 4pm, but the front desk clerk gave me the keys early at 3pm. When I went to the unit, it was in complete disarray—cleaning supplies everywhere, beds unmade, and the place was dirty.I left and returned at 5:30pm, but it was still not cleaned. When I called the owner, he claimed he didn’t know I was coming (despite my reservation being made weeks in advance). He told me to come back in two more hours and only offered 50% off the first night as compensation. That was unacceptable—I asked for at least one full night free, but he refused.When I told him I wanted to cancel, he said I had to call VRBO directly. While I was on the phone with customer service to confirm my refund, he called me back and left a voicemail saying he had security on the way and that I needed to vacate the property. Shortly after, security actually showed up. Thankfully, the officer was understanding and allowed me to finish confirming my refund with VRBO before leaving.The owner was not only rude, but also incompetent and irresponsible—he clearly doesn’t know how to run a short-term rental. He even gave me a 1-star review as a guest—even though I didn’t even stay there! There was no reason to leave any rating at all, let alone a poor one. Go elsewhere to stay!

Great stay. Traveled to Maui with my 80 year old mother. We were both very comfortable in this suite, which has a front row seat to Maui sunsets. The grounds are spotless and just busy enough with people to make this a laid back and peaceful experience.

The host was very responsive and helpful with all our questions.. The location of Maui Sunset places you within 15 minutes of the finest restaurants to the south and excellent beaches. To the north you are only 10 minutes from the harbor. The condo is well kept, clean, and user friendly. The property reminds me of a few Old World Florida places we have stayed. The property is immaculately kept. This morning we watched the staff wipe down snd clean every lounger around the pool. The entire grounds is surrounded by perfectly groomed tiff green grass. It really is amazing. We ate several dinners at the high end hotels but we were always happy to get back to our Maui Sunset condo! You should go!

I had an amazing stay at this condo in Maui! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach with stunning ocean views right from the property. The condo was spotless, well stocked, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The amenities were a huge plus, especially the pool, which was clean and relaxing. I loved ending each day watching the incredible sunsets from the condo, truly unforgettable. Communication with the host was excellent, making the whole experience smooth and stress free. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Maui!

As promised by host, Everything we needed was provided in the condo. The grounds were perfectly manicured. Pool and hot tub extremely clean. Location was central with grocery and shopping nearby and whatever activity you might need. The beach was a little rocky as you enter the surf but very lovely nonetheless. Million Dollar View is accurate.
