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.

Nani Kai Hale delivers a classic, laid‑back Maui beachfront stay on Sugar Beach. Guests love being steps from the sand, with a quiet lawn lined with loungers, umbrellas and gas BBQs, plus a small pool overlooking the ocean for sunset watching and whale sightings in season. The location is praised as both peaceful and central: an easy base for exploring the island, with the Sugar Beach Bake Shop, Ululani’s Shave Ice, a farmers market and an ABC store a short walk away. The overall vibe is friendly and low‑key, with an attentive onsite manager and welcoming residents.

Condos vary by owner, but many reviewers found their units clean, comfortable and well stocked. Common perks include two bathrooms in many one‑bedrooms, full kitchens with cooking basics, and plenty of beach gear (chairs, towels, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel sets). Self check‑in is usually smooth, parking is easy, and laundry rooms on each floor (coin/app) are convenient. Several guests called out responsive hosts and property managers (including Bello Realty and individual owners) who handled questions or minor issues quickly.

This is an older, well‑kept complex, so finishes and furnishings can feel dated in some units, and experiences vary—check photos and recent reviews for the exact condo. Recurring cons include occasional maintenance hiccups (sticky sliders, slow drains, leaking dishwashers) that are often addressed promptly; differing A/C setups (some only in the living room or on timers); and some noise for road‑ or event‑side units (traffic, early roosters, wedding music next door until 10 p.m.). Northern Kihei’s water can be murkier and isn’t prime for snorkeling, though it’s great for long walks and easy swims. If views and quiet matter, aim for an ocean‑facing unit, confirm A/C locations and recent updates, and expect a relaxed condo experience over a high‑end resort.

This is the second time staying in this building, different unit. It doesn’t disappoint. If you’re looking for the night life, this is not the place. Very low key, directly on the beach. We rent a car and get to all the “hot” spots while enjoying a peaceful place to stay, usually asleep by 8pm.

What a great condo! Our first thought was how the space looked exactly the same as it did online, which is not always the case. Very clean, and stocked with thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed the ocean view and direct access to the beach. We had to contact the owners for a small request, and they were super responsive (and prompt). Close to groceries, restaurants, and shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend!

Such a cozy place to stay and relax. For someone traveling on their own, it was perfect. My trip was so busy with hikes, swims, golf, meeting with family, abd every night I got to come home and sleep in their gigantic comfy bed, wake up to my own kitchen for breakfast, and have moments of reflection on the patio listening to the rushing wind.The place was extremely clean upon arrival, but not sterile like a hotel. It was home away from home in every sense. If you wanted to swim in the ocean, easy access, if you wanted a dip in the pool, barely used, if you wanted to grill some goodness and mingle, right there.All in all I just have to say I feel so blessed I landed on the perfect spot for my stay and completely recommend this place for one or two people. Such a great deal for such a great spot.

The condo was absolutely adorable! It was in a perfect location in Kihei, had all the necessary amenities and then some. Beach was beautiful and quiet. We really felt at home during our stay and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend this host and property!

A little too noisy for our liking. The wedding venue next door had events every night of our stay. Music was loud and not our style. Other than that it was a nice property on the beach. Enjoyed our morning walks on the shore.

This was an excellent experience. Everything was there to get us started. The only thing we struggled with was the door lock. It is an electronic pad that you need to press with your finger to "wake up". So this took us a few min. to figure out. That's it. Everything else was perfect!

We were surprised how windy it was at this property - every afternoon winds were between 30 and 40 mph. Quite noisy, indeed. There was no way to get local Hawaiian stations on the bedroom TV. Those are literally the ONLY things that we found lacking. Everything else (especially the communication and help from Kristal) were terrific. This condo is well-equipped with beach provisions. The kitchen is definitely workable, although there isn’t much space to store non-refrigerated food. The views from the condo were excellent of the ocean, but due to the winds, we went downstairs and watched the afternoon sunsets.

The unit is located on Sugar Beach in Kihei. The beach access is great and the location is central to getting to all of the Kihei retail establishments (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.). The pool was great and a good option for when the afternoon winds picked up and made the beach uncomfortable (sands kicked up, waves, currents, etc.). The unit itself had everything we needed for a great stay, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was nice. The view was good but it was so windy there were days it was unpleasant to sit outside. Location to beach was excellent and restaurants not far away. Found a food truck area that offered every kind of food only about 10 minutes away.

Everything was so perfect and relaxing! We felt immediately welcomed and at home! Well stocked with everything you can imagine, even beach towels, chairs and snorkel gear. Loved having two bathroom and A/C. Comfy bed too! Enjoyed toasted coconut coffee on the lanai and took in the beautiful ocean view. The host is extremely pleasant and quick to respond. Can’t say enough great things about this place! Could’ve stayed much longer and would definitely want to stay again! Thank you!

Great location, walkable to a cute farmer’s market and an ABC store, pretty central to wherever you want to go. Apartment was clean and stocked with necessities like towels, blankets, pillows, etc.

5 star view! Out the front door are stunning views of Haleakala and Molokini. The lanai boasts exceptional views of West Maui. Perfect central spot makes for easy drives to all the POI’s. Early morning and sunset beach walks. Clean, comfortable, well appointed kitchen and AC! Controlled, private access to the pool/common areas and beach. My hubby grilled one night for dinner. Easy and ample parking. ABC Store and shave ice a short walk away. Laundry center on same floor a few doors down, easy peasy! If you open the windows later in the day you get an exceptional breeze thru the condo! The beach chairs and cooler came in handy for whatever the day had in store, will book again next time we visit Maui! Mahalo Kristal!

Absolutely loved our stay at this property! First, I couldn't find a better price for such quality! It exceeded all my expectations — the place was sparkling clean, and the views of the mountain and water were breathtaking every single day. The condo had everything we needed for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. My husband was so thrilled I chose this spot. Plus, the location with a private lounging area was perfect! Lara was incredibly responsive and super generous (along with the cleaners), even allowing us to check out late because our flight was in the evening. Thanks to her, we enjoyed every moment right up to departure. Just a heads-up: don’t forget quarters for the washing machine! Highly recommend this amazing place!

This property is in a great location, right on the beach, with easy access to restaurants and other areas. However, the condo could use some improvements: some of the electrical outlets don't work, and the unit is dated.

Pros: -Location of the condo was great, ABC store, shaved ice and a coffee/breakfast cafe within walking distance.-Beach and pool area are close and easy to get to. -Laundry room onsite-Unit was clean and had everything we needed. -The view of the ocean is visible from the balcony, not a straight on view but you can see water. The view of the west Maui mountains is also visible from the balcony. -property manager Steve is friendly and had great beach recommendations for snorkeling-instructions are clear and easy to followCons: we only had one major con. There was a plumbing issue in the master suite. The water in the tub wasn’t draining like it normally should and towards the end of our stay it wouldn’t drain at all. The toilet also would not flush and it backed up into the tub. We communicated with the host but pretty much got accused of putting something in the toilet and clogging the system. We were told to contact a plumber ourselves. After contacting several plumbers we finally were able to get one to come out. This was on our last day there and it ruined all of our plans for the day. The plumber came and put a camera down the pipes and turns out the pipes are all corroded and had massive amounts of scaling. We were told the pipes were old, not the hosts fault. I just wished the situation was handled better by the host. The property manager Steve was very helpful and showed more compassion and sympathy. In the end everything was fine, host paid for plumber

Loved this condo . Condo as described, great communication with Bello Realty that helps manage some of the condo’s at Nani Kai Hale. Would definitely stay here again. I accidentally left my pricey jewelry on the armoire, the realty company promptly found my jewelry and sent it back to me. Couldn’t rate this condo high enough!

Two adults with two kids fit easily in the unit, dinners with 8 people also fit. Extra bonus was was the beach chairs and the beach umbrella. The bed was super comfortable (as I get older the mattress makes a big difference in the quality of sleep I get.
