We really enjoyed our stay. Steps from Kamaole 2, and walking distance to everything you need for a great Maui vacation. Gloria was easy to communicate with, and everything was exactly as described. The A/C system was super effective and cooled the unit within minutes of turning it on, plus it was nice and quiet - way better than a window-shaker unit.

Gloria made our stay fantastic in every way possible! She gave several suggestions on activities and local dining options. There are plenty of dining options within walking distance of the condo. The beach was beautiful and a very close walk (across the road). Thank you for the homemade banana bread and the monogramed hand towel! Would highly recommend this location and host. Thanks, Gloria!

We loved staying at Gloria's place! The condo is in a community that is friendly and we frequently chatted with neighbors or visitors in the elevator and walking around the property. Check in was seamless, Gloria even left us a sweet gift basket with Hawaiian treats which was such a sweet touch. WE LOVED being across the street from the beach and close to so many fun restaurants. Highly recommend!

Location in Kihea was fine. The accomodations were great as were the kitchen, appliances, dinnerware, and cookware. Beach chairs, umbrella, and towels were provided and in good condition. The only disappointment was the small pools.

The condo is in a great location in Kihei. Close to beaches, restaurants and shopping! Gloria’s added personal touches were above and beyond. So nice to have lawn chairs, coolers and beach supplies. Thank you so much for the stay, Gloria!

We had an amazing stay at Glorias condo. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. The condo is centrally located and right across the street from Kam II beach, one of the best. Condo was spotless and the gift basket was over the top including a personalized hand towel. When you go, dont miss Changs Beach to swim with turtles galore! Condo pics are exactly what you get. Great view but partially blocked by palm tree. Still awesome. Complex is very clean and quiet.

This was a beautifully maintained condo. Well equipped with nice and thoughtful amenities. Lanai has a great view. Beautiful Plumeria trees everywhere! So close to the nicest beaches and restaurants! It is perfect for 2 or 3 people.

We had a wonderful time at Gloria’s Condo. The condo has everything you need and is very nice and comfortable. It is updated, has great air conditioning and is in new condition. We lacked nothing. Gloria is so hospitable in that she leaves you with personal touches such as a gift basket. She is always available to talk to if you need to get ahold of her and is very helpful and accommodating. You are right by the beach and close to everything. It’s the Perfect location and condo. We loved it there and will definitely be back!!! Thank you again Gloria!

Gloria's a great host. A nice location right across the street from one of the many great beaches. A spacious apartment well equipped with anything in the kitchen, plus beach towels and chairs and an umbrella. A/C worked great plus ceiling fans. My one issue was noise in the bedroom from the apartment walkway, the windows in a lot of the units provide zero sound dampening, but I started using silicone ear plugs and that did the trick.

We have stayed at this complex multiple times because we love the location but was our first time with this host. Upon arrival there was homemade banana bread, a pineapple, chocolate covered macadamia, and some Hawaiian chips, along with an embroidered personalized hand towel…..much more than is typical, and we thought this was a very nice touch to welcome us to the island. I had asked for a pack n play for our son, and when we got there it wasn’t at the site, but within 15 mins of contacting the host, she had brought one over. Air conditioning worked great, and was one of the best units I’ve experienced in hawaii. Everything was great, and we even were running late at check out, which put cleaning behind, and the host was very understanding as we rushed to get all our luggage out. My only complaint was my infant son who is crawling all over the place kept discovering piles of lint and dust that had accumulated into corners and under furniture. I’m pretty sure it came from the dryer, probably circulated because of the air conditioning, but I took one star off of cleanliness because I would hope under furniture and corners were getting cleaned more…. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it though if it weren’t for my son, and it wouldn’t stop me from coming back. The price was more than fair and we enjoyed our stay.

This was our first time in Maui - I booked at 3 different locations on the island so that my partner and I can experience all of Maui (first at Lahaina, then Hana, and finally Kihei). And we were absolutely pleased to end our trip at this particular location. The unit was, by far, the best one we stayed at - it was centrally located around many shops all within walking distance. And not to mention, it was across the street from a very nice beach. The unit, itself, was very lovely! It was clean, the balcony was spacious with a lovely view, love the decor and vibe of the place. The unit was much larger than I thought - which was very nice. The kitchen was great. And what's more, our host included a personal/custom gift - we really felt the thoughtfulness that went into it. Thank you so much for being a part of our journey and vacation in Maui. If I return, this would be the place I would want to stay at again!

This property is amazing!!! The condo overlooks a courtyard area and offers some ocean views as well. Short walk to beach and shops. The property owner has a fully stocked unit including towels, beach chairs, coolers and more. She also left a most thoughtful welcome gift with fresh cake, chips, candies and a lovely embroidered towel!! The unit does have an AC unit however we never needed to use it. The fans and open patio door allow for a perfect temperature. Thank you so much Gloria for allowing us to stay in your property. Hope to be welcomed back again next year.

Gloria lives on the island and has for years. She had great advice of what to see/do, the staff at the property were delightful (and everyone was very friendly). Her place is great and has everything you’d need; you are just across the street from a fabulous beach. Gloria went above and beyond with her welcome gifts and making us feel welcome. I’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOS and she is far and away the best.

Not only was the condo clean and comfortable, she had a personalized hand towel, some amazing homemade banana bread, some chocolates and a fresh pineapple waiting! Such a thoughtful surprise.

Gloria provides excellent communication and information from the beginning, and her personalized welcoming touches really started the stay off perfectly.

We would definitely stay here again..5+++ stars!!

It is a beautiful appointed condo with all the amenities. An easy walk to the beach and close to some yummy, reasonably priced for Hawaii, restaurants. The location is better than the Lahaina area for trips to the crater or road to Hana. Gloria, was very responsive to all my questions and an extremely thoughtful host.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at this fabulous condo. Entire unit was spotless CLEAN.. Gloria, the owner, communicated very quickly and was gracious to host our last minute stay, even letting us set our luggage and groceries into the unit early as we had checked out of a nearby unit that morning..
We didn't get a chance to prepare meals, but the newly remodeled unit and kitchen were fully equipped with everything a gourmet chef might desire. Did I mention CLEAN!!! Bathroom remodel is amazing. Love the built in shower bench, water pressure, and faucets.
The newly installed air conditioning was a welcomed treat as the weather was almost 90 degrees that week in Kihei.
This unit showcases the pride of local ownership. We were so impressed with Gloria and her darling personal touches throughout the condo - and the "sweet" surprises that she left for us. Thank you again!
My daughter and I look forward to visiting Maui soon, and will definitely check the calendar for this beautiful and very special unit. Everything PERFECT.

We loved going to the beach right across the street to watch the sunset. The beach chairs from the condo made it very comfortable. We walked to many restaurants and shops during our stay. Breakfast on the lanai was was very enjoyable:) The condo was comfortable. The air conditioning was great! We hope to stay here again.

Unit was great as advertised. Close to the action but no street noise. Only negative, and certainly not specific to this unit, was that one morning a local rooster decided to start his activity around 3 am. If you are a light sleeper like me you might want to bring some earplugs! Otherwise a great stay.
Tiffany C.

We really enjoyed our stay. The ability to walk across the street to enjoy the beach and a short walk to shops and food was really nice.
The condo was lovely, air conditioning was so nice in the bedroom and living space and the welcome package was such a nice touch!
Only bad thing was the the rooster that we named Hei Hei - he couldn’t tell time and we got a wake up call at all hours each morning…. So bring ear plugs.

Gloria was a fabulous host! And her condo was everything we hoped for! The bed was super comfy, kitchen had everything we needed for some dinners in, the Lani was a sweet place to enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails. We utilized the beach towels, chairs, and cooler everyday at our two favorite beaches right across the street. And the grounds are beautifully adorned with plumeria, hibiscus, and many more garden beauties. Finally, Gloria's extra welcoming goodies and helpfulness when we got in a jam went above an beyond! We truly hope to go back! Mahalo Gloria!

Very very nice! Gloria thinks of everything that u might need and provides it!! She goes overboard with a treat tray with a fresh pineapple, homemade banana bread, a box of chocolates, chips and more!! So sweet!! The condo is close to good restaurants and a sunset every day on the beach!! The lanai was such fun playing cards and dominoes on!! Had a great trip! We r coming back next year to stay at this same condo!!🌺☀️🌴

We have stayed in many beach houses around the world that we have found on Vrbo. This, by far, is one of our favorites!
Gloria is the perfect hostess, the welcome basket was a nice surprise and brought tears to my eyes! Fresh pineapple, banana bread, macadamia chocolates and the adorable personalized hand towel was pleasantly above and beyond the usual endless list of regulations that you typically find first when renting a place.
The condo is spotless and has everything you need. Beach chairs, coolers, ice packs, umbrella, beach towels, all included for your use. Dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo and sunscreen all there. The breeze on the fifth floor made it unnecessary to use the air conditioner. The pool was nice when afternoon winds made sitting on the beach difficult.
The view from the lanai was relaxing and wonderful. We went out to dinner one night and the rest of the nights brought food back to the condo to sit out and enjoy the view.
The location is perfect. Across the street are three of the best snorkeling beaches on the island. It was nice to park the car and be in walking distance for food, shopping, ice cream and of course shave ice. We drove around the entire island on our vacation and are convinced Kihei is the best spot to stay in.
It was our first trip to Hawaii, but we hope not our last. We would most definitely stay with Gloria again, I cannot think of one thing that we didn’t love!

This is my 2nd time staying in a property at the Kihei Akahi condo complex and my 1st time staying at Gloria's rental. I love this complex as it is so impeccably maintained and so close to everything. There is a great beach literally across the street, and plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The unit itself appears to have more recent renovations including having both split air A/C units in the living room and the bedroom (many of the other rentals there only have a small living room wall unit from what I can tell). There is a lovely ocean view from the exterior patio. The in-unit washer/dryer was a life saver. Even the included parking spot was a nice-sized end spot that my large rental SUV could fit in. Gloria also prepared some delicious welcome treats and even embroidered a custom towel which was so thoughtful! I will definitely book this unit again in the future.

A personalized welcome gift was a unique touch and so appreciative of the home baked banana bread and pineapple for breakfast that first morning before I had time to get to the store. The condo was very clean and updated. King bed was comfortable and my kids thought the sofa sleeper was good too. Great location near the beach, dining, shopping and groceries. She had everything for the beachu right there at the condo. Pool was warm too!l

Property was very clean. location great, across the street from the beach. View from the balcony of the beach was great! Gloria very helpful in providing details on what was needed for traveling to Maui, as well as many suggestions for places to visit and to eat. We were happy with many of her ideas! Only issue was that bedroom was next to outside hallway, which was pretty noisy starting early in the morning.

My wife and I come to Maui often and always stay in Kihei. Our normal place was booked so of course we had to try a new place . WOW is the best reaction . I was worried at first because we like being on the street where we can hear the water at night . This place was perfect. Great view . Quiet, clean well kept grounds . The personal touches were great. The towel, banana bread , great cofffee and chocolate were nice . We will be back here for sure on our next trip . Hopefully it will be available. Thanks again Gloria for great accommodations.

When we arrived, the condo had some nice gifts to welcome us. The condo was spotless and well stocked with everything flashlights to beach chairs. The only damper was on my checkout day. Checkout is 11:00 AM. It was a few minutes after 11 and the owner came and bluntly said checkout was 11:00. I told her I was waiting for someone who was taking me to the airport. I literally left after she arrived, but she didn’t have to use the tone of her voice with me.

What a tremendous time we had in Maui and in C511. The amenities were 1st class all the way as we wanted for nothing. When we arrived the welcome gifts were especially appreciated and very thoughtful. You can tell the owners go the extra mile to make your stay very memorable and one of a kind. WE WILL BE BACK. Forget the 5 stars, my wife and I give it 10!

We had the extreme pleasure of staying in this beautiful unit in South Kihei, Maui, for 4 nights during the last week of May, and would have loved to stay there longer! Not only was the unit beautifully decorated and furnished, but the gifts left for us by the owner were so thoughtful. From the artwork on the walls to the tropically-themed furniture and décor, to the extras such as beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, and even a small boogie board, we had absolutely no complaints. Kamaole Beach II truly is just across the street from the property, is a great beach, and wasn't very crowded when we were there. Although the view of the ocean from the unit is only a partial, it was plenty for relaxing on the balcony in the mornings to eat breakfast and watch the ocean. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and those little items you need when fixing food but don't want to have to buy for a short stay.
We had arrived in Maui after staying several days in San Diego at our very first VRBO rental, which was clean and convenient to where we were going, but upon entering Gloria's property, it made the San Diego rental seem very lacking. Friends who were vacationing at the same time on Maui were staying just a couple of miles from us in North Kihei in a condo that they rented there, which they had told us was very nice when we met earlier for dinner. However, when they came over later that evening, they too were totally impressed (and probably a little jealous!)
We highly recommend this rental property and would stay there again in a heartbeat! Gloria, thanks for helping make our first trip to Maui such a fantastic experience!
On another note, we also loved the calamari at Ohana, about a mile north of the property on Kihei Road. Large portions prepared differently than we've had before and cooked just right. Even though we probably could have split just one (not knowing how much there would be when we ordered), we couldn't let any go to waste since it was so good and managed to finish it all off!

The condo was very clean and fully stocked with everything you would need and more! The view is gorgeous from the balcony and the beach is right across the street! The snorkeling is great at Kamaole beach 2. We saw at least six sea turtles in the area! We loved keeping the windows open in the room and the breeze would flow thru the whole condo! This place is pretty much walking distance to many great beaches and restaurants! It was a delight to be able to walk across the street to watch the sunset every night. There were a variety of very friendly birds that would come say hello on the balcony too! Overall an amazing time, and thank you so much Gloria!!
We will be back:)

We loved our stay at the property. The condo was perfect for our trip. We spent a lot of time driving around the island, and this was a good location to do that from. Plus, when we stayed close to home, there was a great snorkeling and swimming beach literally across the street from the condo complex. We made use of the available beach chairs, noodle, and boogie board, and there were also coolers available at the condo. We prepped some meals there, and everything we needed was in the fully stocked kitchen. A lovely welcome basket was there when we arrived. I loved everything about this place and would definitely stay here again.

This is the second time I've stayed in this unit. I love the remodeled kitchen. Every time I come Gloria has a welcome basket. Not going to say what, I'll save the surprise for you. Helps you get a start on your stay. Gloria is the best to work with. She lives in Kihei so if you need anything she is right there. Her list of activities has given me a new look at Maui. Entertainment, activities and special local events. Spent yesterday at a Lei making activity at the Baldwin Museum. The furniture is the best of any unit I have stayed in. The foldout sofa is actually comfortable with a 8 inch mattress. Great fans in living and bedroom. Beach chairs, umbrella, bogie boards are all available in the unit. She can provide help with special needs. And of course a great view of the ocean that is just across the street.

This was our first time to Maui so we didn't really know what to expect. This condo has a lot going for it - view of the ocean, clean nicely decorated, washer and dryer and a renovated kitchen. Luckily it had all the pool/ocean commodities we needed to enjoy an afternoon at the beach like beach tools, coolers and chairs. We even left a couple of beach mats there for guest use. Speaking of the condo complex, it is situated right in front of Kamole beach II which is staffed with a lifeguard. The snorkelling is really good just between II and III. Gloria was nice enough to send us a list of places to visit, dive companies, market information so it took some of the guess work about where to go. We didn't try the pool as we favoured going to the beach. The condo didn't seem to have a small fry pan so it just encouraged us to utilize the microwave more. The only drawback is that we wish the that paper and plastics could be recycled. It seemed a shame to throw it all in the garbage. Only HI5 items are accepted, eg. Water bottles, beer and soda cans. Otherwise, the condo is great and Gloria is really thoughtful for leaving treats like her delicious homemade banana bread and a personalized hand towel. We loved it here so we will be back.

The location is perfect! Right next to some of the best beaches! There are lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The condo was beautiful and clean with a nicely updated kitchen and bath. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots, and utensils. They have everything you need from beach chairs, towels and umbrella, to coolers and a boogie board. There are lots of personal touches that made this condo feel like home. It was a quiet location as well. We did not hear any noise next to, above or below, which made it made it really enjoyable. The views from the lanai are amazing - ocean one direction and Haleakala in the other. You can see the sun come over Haleakala and then watch it set over the ocean, beautiful!!
There is great snorkeling right across the street at Kam II and Kam III.
Prior to our arrival, Gloria sent a detailed email with everything you need to know about the condo. It also contained information about activities going on around the island.

We just returned from spending 9 days in Maui we were pleased with the condo and the owners were great to work with. They helped us get some meds that were forgotten over nighted to us, the welcoming gifts were really nice. We thought the condo was as pictured, it was really cleaned and had everything you needed to make your stay easy and comfortable. It was easy to get to everything on the island without a long drive. I was going to leave a note for you guys there is a couple of things that would of helped in the condo first there is only 1 small skillet that needs to be replaced so more sklittes and in better condition would be nice, also a BBQ set would of been helpful when grilling outside. Also maybe tall plactic drinking cups that could be taking outside to the pool area. Not complaining at all but I thought I would just offer my thoughts on what we found we could of used.
Thank you for a great place to stay and enjoy our vacation! We would love to stay here again!

We so enjoyed our first trip to Maui, and the great central Kehei location of Gloria's condo. We were able to walk to many beaches and great Hawaiian fare. We were able to get plenty of sunset viewing from what often felt like our own private beach.....afordable and very comfortable!

First of all I have to say that Gloria is the best host. She made sure that my Mom and I had everything we needed and made a special welcome gift for us. I thought that was super welcoming. Coming to nice freshly baked banana bread, coffee and Hawaian goodies was a new VW touch. Condo has everything you need. Located in a very convenient part is f the building. Definitely recommend this unit and Gloria as host.

The unit we stayed in was perfect. Gloria provided all of the information before our stay and there were some great little Hawaiian touches inside. The bed was very comfortable and it's a great location. Everything was made very easy for our stay and we had a great time. Very pleased with this accommodation and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you!

We loved our stay in Kihei Akahi. Gloria has a wonderful place leaving nothing to be desired. Great amenities and so very comfortable. Beach across the street or heated pool of you'd prefer that. All the things you need for beach going and located near all the local hangouts. We will for sure be back!

This is a larger complex but you woul never know by the setting of this quiet condo. The lanai opens to a beautiful green space with birds chirping all day. Sit on the lanai and enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean and Haleakala Volcano. The furnishing have been updated recently and felt as comfortable as home. The king bed is so comfortable! You don't need a car here as it is centrally located and walking distance to stores and restaurants. I highly recommend this reasonably priced condo in Kihei.

We were extremely pleased with this accomodation. Every essential item was in this condo. The comfort of the home was wonderful. Loved the king comfortable bed; felt just like at home. The beach chairs and umbrella were used every day along with the cooler. Sitting on the deck seeing the ocean was beautiful.
The extreme professionalism from Gloria from first inquiring of the property through the entire time was wonderful. The welcoming gift was so thoughtful. We would recommend this to anyone and plan to return.

The place is amazing and very accurately as described in the listing. You got both ocean and mountain views. The place is clean and fully furnished plus coolers, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a boogie board, etc. It is very close to beaches, restaurants, and grocery stores. Very convenient!
The owner, Gloria, was very organized, responsive, and helpful. My husband and I were very appreciated with the nice gestures Gloria provided, including a towel with our last name on and some local snacks.
