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.

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.

Very nice place to stay, me and my wife loved it. This condo has a nice beach house feel to it, which we liked. Had all we needed; kitchen supplies and appliances, washer, dryer, dishwasher. We enjoyed watching sunsets from and spending tome on the balcony. Hot tub and pool were very clean and enjoyable. The torches around the pool area are a nice added effect. The property was clean and landscaping was beautiful and tidy. 10/10 would recommend and would totally stay again.

The owners put in a lot of effort and work into this unit. The view from the huge, balcony was spectacular. The attention to detail was unlike any place we have stayed in Maui. White fluffy towels, comfy bed, phenomenal shower pressure, beautiful art displayed everywhere and it is all very new and very clean and very well kept. The full washer and dryer, high end dishwasher, huge fridge, cooktop and oven were so handy. If you love to cook the kitchen had EVERYTHING you needed. It felt like home for us. There are elevators and carts to help you push your things from the car to the unit. The 3 AC units are a little loud so we just put them on for a little bit before we got ready for bed and then shut it off. There are good ceiling fans and beautiful trade winds that help during the day. The pool area and grounds are stunning and well kept. Lastly, the owners give you peace of mind. They care about you and the unit they have renovated and it shows. We just packed a few clothes and went to Costco, Walmart and Target for groceries and ate out a few times. Will definitely return to this unit.

Very close to shopping. No parking fees. Beach front property, but the ocean was a bit choppy & dirty due to high surf. Used a small shopping cart for luggage transport. It was great for groceries. The unit was comfortable & clean except for the living room AC. Removed the cover & filter which was covered with dirt & prevented the air flow. Washed it out clean. Did not contact the host due to the time being close to bedtime. Enjoy your stay.

My vacation rental was great until a bird got in my condo for hours and I had to clean up the bird mess.I even had the maintenance man come and he said the bird was gone. hours later it flew out from under the couch. I would hate to see what is under there.

Perfect location that is close to everything. Condo had everything needed in kitchen. Loved all the outdoor stuff for day adventures. Sunsets were amazing. Pool was clean and lots of chairs. Updates in unit along with quality sheets and linens made our stay the best we have had on Maui. Decorations were well done.

The air conditioning in the master bedroom was our saving grace during a very warm week in August. The air conditioning in the living room couldn’t quite keep up with the heat so our family spent a lot of time in master bedroom to cool down. This property was clean and we really appreciated the day bed so each of our kids had their own sleeping space. Our favorite thing about this property was the accessibility to the beach to watch the sunsets.

Lots to do! We played yard games every day on the beautiful lawn. The location of the condo was so conveniently located near fantastic restaurants and grocery stories. The condo was also very quiet - I didn't hear other people's muffled conversations! I was impressed with the kitchen of the VRBO too. Great spaces for preparing meals and lots of quality kitchen ware to do the job. I would definitely stay in this location again!

Place as advertised. Pretty clean and located steps away from the beach. Owner provided a pack n play at our request. Minutes away from plenty of restaurants. We did have to have maintenance come twice during our stay. Once when someone smashed the front door multiple times breaking one of the slats and another time the bathroom smelled like sewage, which couldn't be resolved during our stay
