This condo is beautifully appointed. Everything you need is here and is top-notch! The location can't be beat. Right on Sugar Sand Beach, which surprisingly was never crowded at all. There is a nice pool, outdoor BBQs, new patio furniture and lounges, plus a nice grassy area. The owner, Elen, was a delight to communicate with!

My daughter actually took the trip. I just did the booking.
Here's what she and her fiance (they just got engaged up on Haleakala) had to say:
"The condo was perfect. Beautiful, clean, full kitchen, free coffee, beach supplies. Everything we needed plus more. Best part: to get to the beach you walk out the condo door, go down the hall, pass the pool and there is the beach right in front of you. No road to cross... it's all just there. Ideal location in an ideal community. We loved the condo. We loved the beach. We loved Kihei.
Counting the days until we can go back."
From my side, Elen was great to work with. Her communication was excellent. She kept us totally on top of things and had great recommendations for things to do, places to eat as well as where to rent the car!
My daughter also mentioned that check-out was a breeze. There wasn't a mountain of chores to do like some short term rentals. They totally appreciated that as well.
Everything was 10 out of 10!
Thank you!!

Elen was an excellent host, she was timely with all the information for her condo and then she also had so many recommendations of places to go on the Island. I would highly recommend staying at this location. I will book again on my next trip to the Islands.
A few things had changed since my last visit to Maui that I just wanted other guests to keep in mind if they book a trip. If you do the Road to Hana and want to visit the black sand beach they require reservations. Also if you want to do the Sunrise on Mt Haleakala you will want to book that early, they sell out a month in advance. I will say we did not get a reservation and got a recommendation from a local that stated the sunset is just as gorgeous and you don’t need reservations for that. We did that and she did not disappoint, it was Breathtaking!!!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at your place, Elen! In our minds this is a hidden gem….it’s the perfect location to have a low key relaxing vacation and just a short drive to restaurants and shops.
We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and my husband’s 50th birthday here and had a wonderful time!

We stayed in this lovely, beach condo for 9 days and truly loved the accommodations. The property was exactly as posted and had every amenity you could want. Elen was a perfect host and was there for us at any moment. We met so many other guest staying there and learned some have been coming to Kihei Sands for years. I’ll miss walking the beach and those beautiful sunsets. We truly were sad to leave but can’t wait to return. Lastly, just a short walk down the beach for coffee, bakery and grocery store. Just a perfect location. Mahalo

A6 is a wonderful, comfortable unit on the beach. The owner Elgin answered all our questions and as outfitted the unit with everything you need for your stay. Our weather was mainly sunny, but with some high winds, it made swimming in the ocean impossible. The pool and patio very nice and being a small complex you were able to meet very friendly people staying here. You need to drive to restaurants and there is no “nightlife” in this area to enjoy. Maui is beautiful with many sights to take in and magnificent sunsets every night. Mahalo

Location was on the beach, quiet, serene. You can hear the ocean waves from the patio door. The condo was stocked so thoughtfully, she even had qtips in the medicine cabinet. It was a 5 min drive to the busy part of Kihei and close to shops and food trucks. Thanks for helping our trip so memorable.

My husband and I wanted to extend our stay on Maui after his educational seminar. This place was just what we were looking for. It is a small property (only 30 units) with the one bedroom on the ground floor and the two bedroom on the second level. We were less than a minute's walk to the pool, and another minute to the beach. You can walk to dinner and limited shopping.
The kitchen had all the appliances and utensils you could ever need. There were explicit instructions on how to use the tv, shower, etc along with suggestions of places to eat, shop, and visit. We met some of the unit owners and felt welcomed into their 'community'. We will definitely stay there again!

We loved staying at this condo, just steps away from the beach (great for seaglass hunting)! The condo community here is so welcoming and we loved exploring the local spots in Kihei. The host provided all the information needed and more to ensure an amazing stay on Maui!

My wife and I stayed at this property for a short period before going to a larger resort for the rest of our stay in Maui.
This location is so comfortable and homey. It's right next to the beach which is super nice. The property is stocked with everything you may need. I was pleasantly surprised when I went out in the morning to watch the sunrise and I saw the property makes coffee and tea in the morning for all of the guests.
Lastly, the host was so nice and flexible when I needed to shorten my stay by 1 day. I would definitely recommend staying here for your trip to Maui!

We stayed here for 6 amazing days for our wedding anniversary. Check in was smooth. Communication with Elen was great and informative. The condo is a short drive to the area in Kihei that has all the foods and shops. You can hear the ocean waves from the lanai and the beach is only steps away. We had trouble finding parking one night but was able to get into one after waiting not too long.

We had the most amazing time at Kihei Sands unit A6. Elen was an amazing host. She gave us a welcome packet with all the information that was needed for our stay including things to do and places to go/eat. The unit was very clean and has everything you could need. The location was beautiful/perfect. It was amazing being able walk out of the unit and be right on the beach.
We are hopeful to return in the future. Perfect for our honeymoon. A trip that we will always remember.

We liked being so close to the beach. Also, it was nice to be in a small complex that wasn’t crowded. Our property manager responded quickly when there was an issue with the tv and internet, which we appreciated. My only suggestion would be that the sofa and rugs need to be cleaned. Otherwise great stay

This place is a hidden gem. Our second time staying at this condo, which is clean, quiet and comfortable. Anything you might need is in the condo. Great location in the particular condo complex, private and away from the activity at the pool and on the patio. But just step out your door and you have coffee in the morning and a walk on the beach! Back door is easy access to the pool! We will be back!

We had the best holiday ever in Maui at Elen’s condo (A6) at Kehei sands. The place was right on the beach and had everything we needed. The location was perfect as we were only about 25 minutes from anything in either direction. Elen’s attention to detail made staying here so easy, and we plan on staying here again! The condo had every amenity we needed. I would highly recommend Elen as a host, and we can’t wait to return.

The location is very convenient to get anywhere on the island. The condo is just steps from a beautiful patio and pool, and a few more steps to being on a long stretch of beach. While the condo has a small kitchen, it was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. After booking this unit, Elen was great at keeping us informed with information on how we get into the unit, parking, things to do and places to eat in the area, as well as the rental car tram being out of service at the airport on the day we arrive. On our first night, the whole complex and surrounding neighborhood all lost power for a few hours. No worries, we texted Elen and she let us know there were flashlights and lanterns in her closet. The unit itself is furnished and decorated really nice. We were very impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was. It had everything you need to cook or make coffee including coffee beans. She also has sunscreen, beach chairs, beach towels, insulated bag and cooler for us to use. And we used all the above! Just a few steps outside the unit, you can watch beautiful sunsets from the pool area or right on the sandy beach. We loved staying in Kihei and found it very convenient to go any direction on Maui from here. We can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Great location. Can be to any destination either direction within 20 - 30. Excluding trips up into the mountains or Hana.
Parking limited and spacing very tight. If renting a vehicle, request a small compact car. Will benefit you elsewhere on the island too. Condo very nice, well equipped with kitchen, linens, pool and beach accessories. A couple maintenance items need conducted as unit ages. One being the A/C unit. Air quality very stale and sour. Maybe filter change would eliminated odors. Ceiling fan motors very noisy. Motor whines on one in kitchen area and bedroom fan clunky. Nice time, nice memories!

This was beyond our expectations. It was very clean and tastefully decorated like a hotel, but had all the comforts of home. The kitchen had everything for you too cook a full meal (condiments, pans, serving dishes). You don’t need to pack a single toiletry as everything, including sunblock, bug spray, is in a basket full of washroom necessities. Plus there’s more than I can mention for you to enjoy the outdoors like chairs, hats, toys and even the important coolers. Did I mention there’s also an ice maker and takeaway cups for the walks on the beach which are just steps away? This was an outstanding suite that was so well appointed. We would most definitely stay there again. Mahalo!

After driving and exploring about 80% of the livable area of Maui, I have come to the conclusion that there is no where I would rather stay than Kehei, and specifically at this location. If you really want night life and a more active social scene, you may want to look elsewhere, but for the relaxing getaway that my husband and I wanted, getting on island time and exploring all Maui has to offer, Elen's place was perfection. The central(ish) location on the island made for a perfect day trip to the north west shores and Lahaina, a quick drive to some amazing snorkel spots on the south shore, and a head start on the road to Hana, not to mention the amazing and beautiful beach just a few steps from the front door!
Elen was a wonderful host who had a wealth of knowledge to share about the best ways to see the island. The place was well stocked with some staples and cookware (though we didn't really utilize them). The snorkel gear was perfectly adequate for us less-experienced snorkelers and there was even a cache of sunscreens that proved extremely beneficial.
The one hiccup we had was that I messaged Elen (text and via VRBO) early the day before our checkout to see if a late checkout would be possible and never heard back. Otherwise, it was all a great experience. If we ever come back to Maui, we will definitely be staying at Kehei Sands!
Patricia S.

Loved the intimacy of the Kihei Sands. As it's a smaller, complex, there's an opportunity to meet other vacationers. Lovely Sugar Beach is outside your door and the Kihei Canoe Club is a walk away for visitor paddling. Love A6. Elen was great keeping us informed and quick to respond. The unit itself is beautifully remodelled and we loved coming back to it after a busy day. Loved the well-stocked kitchen with everything amenity imaginable and lots of spices so that you could make meals from scratch. We would definitely come back here again. A 5 star stay at a fraction of Maui's overblown prices.

The Kihei Sands A-6 unit was a joy to stay at. A perfect size for couples & steps away from the ocean. The condo has everything a traveler needs & so close to everything on the island to explore. As many others have attested, Elen is a pleasure to work with, very responsive & helpful with suggestions on where to eat, what to see, etc. We hope to someday be back at Kihei Sands A-6!

I think it was the wrong time of year for us to vacation in Hawaii. Let me first say Elen is an excellent host! We arrived to a family reunion of 30 plus adults and their children at the complex. There was seldom room for any non-reunion people to sit on the common patio or around the pool. When we had coffee on our rooms patio in the mornings people were smoking next to ours. I thought it was a non-smoking complex? The pool hours are clearly posted as 9am to 8pm, children were in the pool by 8am. Does anyone enforce the rules? Children in the unit above ours seemed to never stop running from one end to the other. Installing some sound proofing would help a lot. We have been to Hawaii at least twenty times all between November and March this was our least enjoyable trip.

We stayed here 11 nights for our honeymoon. Overall, we were very pleased with this property. The location is amazing—right on the beach, so you can enjoy the sun and sand from the condo complex, but you will also have easy access to explore the rest of the island. Sugar Beach is very nice to walk in the mornings. The surf sometimes came up too high to sit on the beach in the afternoons, but this depends on whether there's a south sea swell. The condo itself was mostly comfortable; it was just the right size for two adults, and it was stocked to the brim with all of the toiletries and amenities you could want for a beach trip. We also really appreciated the host’s recommendations and quick communication. We were disappointed that this condo had “ghost ants” in the bathroom and kitchen that were there when we arrived and stuck around for the duration of our stay, despite our best efforts. The host instructed us to put out Terro bait and store all our food in the refrigerator/microwave; not exactly things you want to be doing or dealing with on your honeymoon. The property manager came in midway through our stay to spray for ants in the bathroom, which helped some, but then they seemed to just get more active in the kitchen. I understand that ants are part of life on a tropical island, but it seemed more proactive measures could be taken to prevent them from finding their way into the unit. But, ants aside, this unit was a pretty good value for the price and location.

We enjoyed staying in Elen's condo at Kihei Sands. It is a small condo complex right on the beach. One can walk down the beach to the Sugar Beach Bakery, ABC store, Shave Ice and a gift shop. It was fun to watch the outrigger canoes practice every morning. The other people staying were friendly. Coffee is put out on the patio each morning from 6-8.

The condo was amazing. Very clean and beautiful furnishings. It was so nice to relax at the pool in the lounge chairs. We saw whales several times from those lounge chairs. Having the beach steps from your condo was such a pleasure. This location is close to everything. I would absolutely stay again. Elen was a wonderful host. Thank you for making our stay special and sharing your home. What a wonderful relaxing vacation.

Beautiful property
Everything we needed was provided by our host
Only complaint would be other guests taking over the patio and BBQ area making it difficult to share
And allowing their screaming children to swim unattended in pool making for a sometimes unpleasant experience

Elen’s place was easy to get to from the airport. It is located right on a lovely beach…great for walking or to sit to watch the sunset in the evening. The condo is well equipped and very clean. The bed is comfy. If you are an early riser the condo staff has coffee waiting for you down by the pool…to sit with or to stroll the beach with.

I would have stayed at Elen’s beautiful condo the entire week if she had availability but we had to break up our visit which worked out because we wanted to stay overnight in Hana and on the west side, as well. It was just me and my husband but I could see bringing my daughter as it is so quiet, beach access was easy, and Elen had all the things we needed. The washer dryer access was community and was $2.50 a wash/dry, which was a small inconvenience but not uncommon. We particularly appreciated how she had two parkas available (medium black one for me, Large camo one for my husband) so we didn’t freeze our butts off doing the Haleakala sunset. One of the highlights to our trip. The backyard had a small pool, outdoor shower, and easy beach access. A great sunset every night! We drove past Wailea where resorts are am charging $3k a night and honestly would never consider it even if it were more affordable, since those areas were so commercialized and congested. We wasted money on dinner at Ko at the Fairmont and Merriman’s which were highly recommended but food was underwhelming and cost was high. Nalu’s had live music and was unpretentious, and food was so good! If you can get in via the bar, we ended up lucking out at Mama’s Fish House which was the only meal worth the cost (views , presentation, food were all incredible). Anyway, our Maui visit was magic and we are so grateful that Elen was responsive, so thorough with details and recommendations, our visit was beyond expectations! Mahalo! We hope to return!

This is our second time staying here. The unit is well cared for, clean, and the kitchen is well equipped. Beach chairs, a cooler, and a nice umbrella are available for use. This is the perfect location for long sunrise and sunset beach walks and a centralized location to explore the island. We really enjoyed our visitor paddle with the Kihei Canoe Club close by! The farmers market and bakery are a short walk away and a great way to start a day.

Loved everything about this property: the common patio to meet other guests, the beah for long walks and swimming, the perfect, nicely laid-out and decorated unit and super comfortble bed. Even the shower with two water spray options (including hand-held). Pretty hallway decor on ground floor with all the plants (should include a picture of the hallway walkway in VRBO desciption). And close parking to smaller complex was really nice!

The building facilities (pool, deck, hall ways) were beautiful and well maintained. The condo itself had many cute decorations and we very comfortable and well appointed. My husband was particularly pleased to find a ukulele which he had been looking at to buy. He learned how to play it on the instrument they had and is now excited to het his own.
The location was perfect for exploring the island as it was pretty centrally located.

The entire experience, from planning to actually being there, was excellent. Elen provided detailed information prior to the trip, including where to eat on the first day. We were extremely tired, so her recommendations were very helpful.
The space itself was just perfect for our purposes, which was to get away and relax. The beach was a few steps away, and though the water was not as inviting as other beaches we went to, it was still beautiful and warm. The beach was great to sit on while watching the sunset, having shaved ice, and/or reading a book.
Everyone we came across was super friendly as well. Parking could be a little tight, especially backing out, but it was manageable.
The condo was close to everything we needed - a delicious bakery, shaved ice, and ABC store, and places to have a quick bite. All else was a short drive away. We highly recommend this space. Mahalo!

This place is amazing, Elen was super helpful through it all with Hawaii covid updates as we were coming from Canada. The location was amazing, everything you needed was less than a 10 min drive and short walks places. The unit had everything you needed and more, the people at the condo unit were extremely friendly. Hot coffee every morning outside and that sunrise and sunset you cannot beat. The beach was really quiet and barely anyone on it, if you are looking for a good sandwich dinas next door was amazing and we went 3 times for lunch you can’t beat that place! Elen couldn’t have been a better host with helping us with an early check in and a vast guide on what to do and where to eat ! Thank you so much for a honeymoon we will never ever forget and don’t forget to sign the guest book !

This property has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay on Maui. Ellen’s property on Sugar Beach is a perfect location. Close to the grocery store, shops, and restaurants. Sugar Beach is beautiful and perfect for early morning walks. We watched the outrigger canoes paddle every morning.
The unit is clean and equipped with everything you’ll need. It was so nice to have beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers available. The grounds and pool area are clean and beautiful. You can hear the neighbors above occasionally, but it’s very quiet during the designated quiet hours.
The lanai is small, but is just the right amount of personal outdoor and green space. We are most meals outside. Grills are shared, but fun to socialize with other guests while preparing food. Sunsets at this location can’t be beat!
Elen was so helpful with all our questions prior to arrival. We wild highly recommend Elen’s property!

Beautiful property, excellent location, amazing views, exquisitely decorated, had everything we needed and more. Felt at home right away. Ellen responds promptly to questions, had all sorts of tips and insights for the island available for our use. Other unit owners and guests were cool people. You can’t go wrong staying here.

Elen’s place was perfect for our get away from kids and busy life! It was super clean and cute and comfy. It was a dream sitting at the tables and lounge chairs with direct views and access to the ocean. So fun to take a beach walk to Shave Ice and the Sugar Beach Cafe too! I would love to stay here again!

We just celebrated our wedding & needed to enjoy our honeymoon. We booked Maui, but didn’t want to stay at a resort. My coworkers told me about Kihei & about Vrbo. That’s when I ran into Elen’s condo at Kihei Sands on the list.
It’s literally on the beach! It was so convenient to stroll outside, make a left, & oh! Beach + sitting area. We had breakfast outside plenty of times & strolled beach daily. It was fantastic because not many people were on this beach compared to the more touristy areas. She even provided 2 beach chairs we utilized multiple times! (Inside the closet)
Now let’s get to talking inside. Love the renovations. The theme when you walk into the living space is cozy beach. Everything was so clean & organized. Elen has a guide on the coffee table that was the best. It stated expectations, throwing out trash to prevent pest control, has the parking pass, etc! It was the best survival guide for us that have never been to Maui. The updates make this place bright & shine. The tile inside the shower is so clean. It even includes a rain shower!
The living space has had 2 beach towels that were great to utilize as well. There were so many options for us to sit, the couch, the kitchen area, & the patio area in the back. The kitchen had so many amenities, like a water heater, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, etc! It literally had everything!
The bedroom was comfortable. It had a queen bed, 4 pillows. It also had a dresser, sliding mirror closet, & a tray to place your belongings in. It was nice that the lights & fan had a remote control so you didn’t really have to get up from bed.
Elen really made our stay so dang easy! So many things were readily available, so clean, so organized! Definitely a place a to stay!

If you are reading this review, just stop reading and go book this location for your stay in Maui! We highly recommend A6. The location was of the condo building was perfect for exploring different parts of the island. It is right on the beach and we felt right at home. A6 is on the ground floor with a nice lanai to eat breakfast or relax during the day. Since it is a few doors back from the pool, you get privacy even though you are close to the beach access. Elen was so helpful with great information ahead of our stay. We didn't have any problems with check in. The condo has extras that we really appreciated, like the cooler and snorkel gear! We had a wonderful stay and were very sad to leave, we stayed for 10 nights and wish to come back someday.
Thank you!

Elen is an absolutely awesome property owner! She had so many great recommendations and suggestions that helped us plan out our trip. The condo is decorated in such a cute way, and is the perfect size for 2 people. The location is also very ideal! Right on the ocean and close to the airport. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

We loved this condo. It was the perfect location if you plan on exploring the island. It has everything you need and more. If you forgot something, Elen had a back up ready for you. Free off street parking and just steps from the beach. Elen was over the top helpful with everything during all the rules constantly changing because of covid.

Elen truly made our visit so much more enjoyable with her thoughtful recommendations and her guidance on how to navigate the current Covid restrictions. The condo is perfect, as are the amenities on the property and in the surrounding immediate Kihei area. We would love to come back again!

We had a wonderful experience in Maui! Ellen was so wonderful to work with and very helpful with everything! This was a perfect condo for me and my husband to stay in, it was very clean and located in a great location. We hope to be back soon!

Steps away from a quiet sandy beach, exactly as I imagined when booking. This condo had everything we could possibly need (and more). Elen was so helpful and made sure we were well informed and comfortable for our stay. The interior was tastefully decorated and clean.
There are a dozen or so units that surround this property, and you're on the ground floor. So you're able to hear the footsteps of those above you in the common area walkways. I'm not sure we anyone was above us during our stay, but we had a quiet stay inside of the condo.
Wish we could stay here longer, and would love to stay here again!

The condo & complex itself were beautiful. The landscaping just lovely, the pool was sparkling clean & Sugar Beach stunning. Soft sand, calm surf, warm water, I was in love!! The sunsets made me cry ! I can’t say enough about the beach!
Elen, the owner has been a delight to work with. She sent a detailed email upon booking, with tips, recommendations, directions to area stores, she did not miss a thing! The condo not only had the essentials, Elen and Wendy go above and beyond with everything they provide. Beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, every kitchen appliance you’d need, you name it & sit’s available. I am a tea drinker and there were teapots available. The whole stay was exactly like being at home except in paradise! We enjoyed breakfast on the patio, lovely way to being a day in Hawaii!!
Elen told us of a Farmers Market about a 10 minute walk on the beach & we stocked up on exotic fruits; dragon fruit, passion fruit,, little apple bananas and Hawaiin tangerines. Perfect!
It was an incredible and memorable trip! We cannot wait to come back.
Mahalo & Aloha!!

Words don't express the incredible experience of staying at this condo. It was comfortably furnished, immaculately clean, and the location was superb. Our condo owner, Elen, has thought of everything and the unit was stocked with amenities that were super helpful, convenient, and much appreciated. The condo property as a whole was exceptionally well-maintained. Loved the amenities of boogie boards, comfortable chaise lounges, outdoor showers for rinsing off sandy feet and subdued outdoor lighting for sitting on the lanai in the evening with a cool cocktail. Truly, I could make this my home! The location was fantastic. Situated on a beautiful somewhat secluded beach. We enjoyed swimming and floating around every day. With only 30 or so footsteps to the pool or the beach, who could ask for more. Oh yes...dining nearby at reasonable prices -- Coconuts, DaKitchen, Nalu's, Kihei Cafe, and Dina's Sand Witch which we enjoyed immensely, were phenomenal recommendations by the owner! Or, if you prefer to stay in, gas grills are located on the lanai for guests to use. Within walking distance to a great farmers market and Ululani's Shave ice...I am addicted. Would come back to stay here again in a heartbeat. Next time, I would try to visit when the whales come in later fall. Highly recommended 'go-to' destination on Maui! My stay at Elen's home has turned me off on resort vacationing forever. Thanks, Elen for a wonderful, peaceful, and utterly delightful experience. I hope to visit again soon!

My husband and I can't thank Elen enough for making our first time to Maui so wonderful and perfect. The condo is exactly as described with tons of personal touches that really make you feel special.
Right from the start when I first inquired about the rental, Elen was on the ball and 100% professional and courteous.
The condo was spotless, smelled fresh and well taken care of.
The ocean is steps away and everyone at Kehei Sands was super nice.
We can't wait to go again!

We stayed in a few different spots while in Maui, and Elen's was the BEST. Very comfortable, with everything you could need. It's a great central location for exploring all of the island. But in a nice quit spot so it never feels busy there. It is the Perfect place to get away and relax!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Elen's condo. It is even better than described- seconds away from a gorgeous and private beach, close to all of the major sites in the island, and the condo itself comes equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was the ideal setting for our Maui vacation. We truly hope to return in the future!

Kehei sands was an absolute pleasure. We could not have picked a better location or more romantic setting for our honeymoon. Whether it was enjoying local restaurants and sights or sharing champagne on the beach every bit of our holiday was fantastic. Our host was fantastic, and we hope to be visiting Maui again very soon.

Elen's apartment is a perfect home away from home for 2 people!
It is spotlessly clean, very well furnished and stocked, and the fixtures are all the highest quality. If you are someone who is picky about hotels (like me), this is the perfect apartment for you. It is clear that a lot of love and care were put into setting this apartment up. Kitchen has everything you need to cook, the grills in the common area by the pool are an added bonus, and the fact that the apartment is already stocked with basics like oils, spices, soap, etc. makes for a very easy arrival and stay. Location is also very central to explore Maui and Elen is responsive, thoughtful, and offers great ideas for dining, shopping, activities, etc. Highly recommend!

The condo was well equipped, excellent location, and Ellen's recommendations were spot on. You are on the beach in seconds and can walk a long distance. Ellen does a great job with the arrangements and the house keeper even checked on us to make sure everything was perfect. If you are looking for a great location to come and relax, look no further.

Staying at A6 in Kihei Sands was incredible!!
The grounds are just beautiful, we didn't stay at any other property that close to such a beautiful beach.
The welcome binder provided helped us plan our entire stay and it was beyond perfect. Would not have changed a thing!
Thank you so much!

This is a great condo in Kihei. The pool is close to the unit and the beach is just a few steps further. All other guests we interacted with were very friendly. The managers of the condo complex are very nice and make you feel right at home. The condo unit itself is very nice and clean. It was perfect for my wife and I to get away for our wedding anniversary. There was coffee and a fresh pineapple waiting on the kitchen counter when we arrived and the unit was clean and inviting. There is patio furniture right outside the sliding glass door that is perfect for morning coffee/breakfast. The location of the condo on the island is great. The beach right outside the condo is very nice. The waves are small and great for small children or if you just want to relax.
