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.

Great location, steps away from pool and beach. Beautiful sunsets you can watch right from the lanai. Kitchen has everything you’ll need! Blender for drinks, fridge is big, ice maker too! Pool cups! Espresso machine. All the extras that make it even better. Beach chairs to sit on beach. I recommend renting snorkel gear and the snorkel stuff wasn’t good. But that’s very minor. Lots of towels, beach and bath! Beds are good. Hide a bed in living room is as comfy as a hide a bed would be. Easy to drive anywhere on island, we went up to Kaanapali a few times and down to Mākena beach as well. Everything is close, parking is so easy at location. Always a spot to park. No parking fee like the big resorts. Pool is good, basic but all you need. Hot tub was great. Lots of beach chairs and usually could get a spot any time throughout day. Bbq was easy to access. People are friendly, some that have come back to this spot many, many times. Saw several turtles on the beach, whales breaching from shore. I must say for a first time Maui traveller that drove all over the island this location was great and I would definitely recommend. Just an easy access, easy drive from airport. Love the ground level convenience.

What a beautiful place! We were 4 senior ladies staying here. It was clean, had ample supplies and was a great location! We appreciated the pull down murphy bed and the splitting of the one king bed into 2 twins. The view from the lanai was breathtaking; overlooking the pool, mountains and a bit of the ocean. The staff kept the grounds meticulous, as well as the pool. I enjoyed the lap swimming priority from 8-9AM. Pool towels and chairs in the condo were very helpful! The rental near the pool had staff that was also very helpful, and most anything else you would need to rent. It was close to restaurants, grocery stores and only 30 minutes from other locations. Communication was excellent. I would definitely stay again.

Great location & amenities. We would 100% stay here again. It was perfect for our group. Beds were comfortable & the space was gorgeous. Only thing is check in and check out instructions need to be updated as the timing is not correct, but other than that, the stay was absolutely seamless!!

This place was exactly what I expected. It was easy to find and get in when we landed late at night. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our two week stay. The elevators were nice and close which worked really well for my Mom to get access to the pool and then walk to the ocean front. We would stay here again.

This location is terrific; close enough to be walkable to stores and restaurants, but quiet enough to be very relaxing. The room is clean, and stocked with the little things that make a vacation comfortable and easy. You can’t find a better host and the people who support the unit are the very best too! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this host, and this property, to anyone looking for a great Maui vacation.

This property was amazing. I have a large family with many children, and there was plenty of space for everyone.The view was spectacular; we woke up to the sound of the ocean and ended each day watching the sunset and whales breaching. While my kids loved the heated pool and jacuzzi, they spent most of their time surfing and looking for turtles on the beach. Additionally, the kitchen provided ample space to cook large meals and gather as a family.We always stay in Kihei because it matches the relaxed atmosphere we look for in Hawaii, and this is by far the best accommodation we have found in the area.

The resort property is very well kept, nice green spaces, the pool is a little small but not very busy so we were lucky enough to find lounging chairs most of the time. The barbeques were very clean, our room was not clean, there was dust on the TV stand, rice on the couch, smears on the bathroom door, crumbs on the countertop, poop stuck to the toilet bowl, smeared glass doors, mold in the dishwasher. I tidied it up myself. The property manager did offer to send in the cleaners again but I declined as I had already done it. B118 needs a deep cleaning and paint job. Our friends stayed at the same property in a different room and were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a nice hand written note from the host, their room was spotless and updated and the decor was lovely, I felt like we got a little ripped off considering we paid the same amount. I will not book this room again but did like everything else about the resort itself.

This place only has a bad twin bed and one foldable. Both aren’t really sleepable for adults. The rest of the place is nice and with changing of the beds this place would be great- but until then I would stay away.

Such a great location! Beds were comfy, lots of space, kitchen had everything we needed. Unit had some beach chairs, sand toys, and a few snorkel masks which we made use of. If we find ourselves back on Maui I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this place again. The only slight downside we found was the main AC unit was really loud so we didn’t use it. Thankfully it wasn’t hot enough to need it as the fans were sufficient.

Great stay at Maui Sunset! The property is very well manicured and the unit is steps away from the pool and beach! Amazing sunsets each night could be seen from our lanai! The place is perfect for a couple or small family. We especially enjoyed the access to beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels.The only minor issue we had was a lack of hot water in the primary shower. It probably just needs the cartridge replaced. With a second full bathroom available, this wasn’t a problem. I’d definitely recommend Maui Sunset to others and would return when back in Maui

Our stay at Maui Sunset was wonderful! The unit was as described, clean and wonderfully stocked. The grounds were clean, the pool was nice and there were may things to do including tennis and shuffleboard. There was also an activities desk that helped book tours, gave discounts and rented paddle boards, kayaks and surfboards.

We LOVED this condo! Both bedrooms have their own bathroom and an oceanfront view (the master bedroom also has a private patio). You can choose to take the stairs but the complex has a set of elevators that made access to the 4th floor very easy. Laundry was available on every other floor. Parking was always available and had no extra fees! The kitchen was pretty well stocked and we were able to eat at home after some of our longer days out venturing. We loved that the condo also had beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers for us to use for our full day adventures. The complex does have grills down by the pool as well as an outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the beach. The beach is a quick walk across a grassy area and well worth visiting (watch out for the crabs if you go at night! they caught me by surprise). The host was AWESOME and so was the on-island contact.Random things to note:---The washer is 2.50 and dryer is 1.50. The machines take 30-40 minutes each to complete. No need to bring quarters as it is all run by a cell phone app but you have to deposit a minimum 10 at a time.---Mini bottles of shampoo/conditioner/soap were provided. These would likely be great for a weekend visit. If you are staying longer plan to grab full size bottles and some additional toilet paper.---There are multiple grills by the pool but they can be busy when the weather was nice. They are propane grills and the propane is provided so don't buy charcoal or propane!
