This is a one of a kind, quiet, and gorgeous Studio; professionally decorated with Pier1 Furnishings and Local Artwork. New paint, tasty decor, and an Ocean/Garden view, create a soothing, colorful, and pleasant way to unwind at the end of the day. Split AC, keeps you cool when the tradewinds rarely stop, but there's almost always a great island breeze permeating the condo. Being a corner unit, there are twice as many windows for those who want natural ventilation. I fixed it up to MY tastes and lived in it for a couple years, so it is not the typical vacation rental. It really feels like home with quality amenties instead of cheap disposable touristy furnishings.
There's (2) Swimming Pools, each with (2) Gas BBQ grills. - The large pools offer hours of tanning, swimming, and outdoor cooking with friends and family. Lots of chaise lounges and a shower provided at the pools, as well as beach towels from the condo. The Tennis-Pickleball court is also popular. A dedicated parking stall is included.
This condo is hotel-zoned.
Newly remodeled Full Kitchen and Bathroom offer a Full-Sized Fridge, Dishwasher, LG Full-Sized Washer/Dryer (instead of the tiny Thin-Twin Stacked ones that won't accommodate a bedspread), Microwave, Gas Stove\Oven, Coffee Maker, Rice Cooker, and all the cooking and serving wares you'll need. The lanai provides a great place to enjoy your dinner and glass of wine, or that morning cup of coffee while you awaken to the delightful sounds of the many species of tropical birds, with a gentle, medicinal breeze. Ocean View, and Lush Tropical Foliage can be enjoyed from the Lanai, and a view of the West Maui Mtns. Serta Perfect Sleeper Queen Bed will provide hours of much needed sleep a long flight or all-day Whale Watching Dinner Cruise. Year round average 85 Degree temps will bask you in warmth and make you forget all your troubles as soon as you put away your belongings. Everything you'll need is here, so just bring something to swim in, or play pickleball in. Many great shops and restaurants are super close by if you'd like to sample some Hawaiian culinary treats, or add to your wardrobe. The Shops of Wailea are 5 minutes away, as well as World Class Golf Courses. Any activity you can imagine is readily available too.
Super Fast-Internet and Cable TV are provided. Double-paned Solid Windows & Doors keep noise and dirt out and the cool air in. No Jalousie windows. Custom Entertainment Ctr/Closet/Drawers offer ample storage for your belongings, and is built to perfectly house the TV.
Come to Maui. You won't find a more affordable and memorable place to stay, or desirable vacation Mecca. Romance abounds on Maui. You won't need to search for your favorite getaway destination, ever again.
Mahalo,
Daniel

My wife and had a pleasant week in South Maui at the Studio Condo. Very clean. Highlights included the lanai which had a unique bonus to it: a few acre tree canopy with incredible tropical bird activity and pleasant aromas drifting in from the flowering flora. Daniel and his staff also provided nice amenities for our time there as well as thoughtful touches for a trip to the beach - chairs, boogie boards, towels, and the like. An additional bonus is that it was very quiet most all the time. When you consider the cost, I would argue it would be difficult to find a much better value. Thank you Daniel and your assistants!

This studio condo located in the South Kihei Akahi complex is a gem. Everything Daniel said is true. It is clean and nicely decorated and has beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers, beach towels, etc. The kitchen is also stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc. Unit also has Wifi.
Air conditioner not needed because of the lovely trade winds and I enjoyed the birds from the lanai. The beaches and shopping are just minutes away.
Thanks Daniel. See you next year.

This condo is wonderful! This was the fourth time my husband and I have been to Maui and to Kihei Akahi and this was the best condo yet. Everything written in the listing is true. This condo is clean and decorated so nicely. It's so comfortable and it's stocked with necessities. The lanai is an awesome place to catch the sunrise or sunset or to just relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. Daniel is very helpful and a pleasure to work with too.
Kihei is an awesome location. You can walk to amazing beaches and there are plenty of restaurants and shops too. Kamaole II beach and Moose McGillycuddy's are a couple of our favorite spots. I have and will continue to recommend this property to friends and family. I am already looking forward to our next visit :-)

Although my stay was only for a few short days, it was perfect for what I needed. Kihei Akahi is my favorite place to stay and this studio certainly did not disappoint!! And I have to add the place was simply immaculate!!! If you are looking to enjoy Maui on a budget, do not hesitate to stay here. The owner was super great to deal with. Mahalo to him for sharing his place with me.

Aloha Daniel,
Mahalo for allowing us staying at your studio last week. It is everything that we've looked for. The studio setup is very thoughtful from furniture to kitchenware & beach gears. We usually miss home when traveling but not this time. Your studio is very beautiful and most of all it is very comfortable. Wish we could stay another week. Definitely would stay here again and recommend this to everyone.
Happy Holidays!!!!

This little studio was the best home away from home we rented on Maui! It was clean, updated, and Dan provided pretty much everything we needed: towels, boogie boards, iron, dishes, etc. Everything works perfectly and we did not even need to run the air because of the condo's location and the winds. The location was great - close to everything. We had a car because we wanted to explore, but you really dont need one if you stay here. We have no complaints and will definitely rent here again when we come back. Thanks Dan for everything!

My husband and I had a fantastic stay here. I've been to Maui many times and have rented through many owners on VRBO. Although I've never had a bad experience, I've never had such a carefree time as with this owner. He is very easy to get in touch with and from my initial questions to signing the contract to entering the condo, everything was super easy and convenient. Our deposit was refunded to our credit card four hours after we left.

What a awesome place to stay! Seriously, I can't say enough good things about the condo and owner. This was my first time staying in a condo on Maui and it was a wonderful experience. The condo is super clean (thanks Leanne), nicely decorated, and very well maintained. The grounds were beautiful and the unit was comfortable and quiet. Everything you need is right there from beach towels to dishes and pots and pans. I loved sitting on the lanai, looking at the beautiful flowers, and enjoying the island breeze. It really is a beautiful studio. Good restaurants and shops are a short walk away and three beaches are right across the street. Daniel was always quick to respond to all my questions and provide any information I needed and the refund of my security deposit was super fast. This truly is a vacation paradise!! Thanks again Daniel. I hope to be back.
