My husband and I stayed 1 week at Janice's condo and were pleasantly surprised on the space, location, and overall amenities of the unit and the complex. The unit itself was much bigger than the pictures make it out to be, the view of the ocean from lanai are even nicer in person + hearing the tropical birds each morning was a nice add on. One added bonus was that it was dead silent at night as well which was nice.
We were 2 minutes from Kam 2 beach (among all the other beaches being 5-15 minutes walk away), and it was nice to go out each night for sunset and only walk a few minutes (the beach chairs provided in the unit were an added bonus!).
There were 3 great coffee places all within 2-10 minutes walk depending on the day and what we felt like getting and the ABC grocery / gas station which had everything you needed to get by affordably. Food truck alley was only 10 minutes walk away which provided some amazing dining options at a fraction of the price of local restaurants (and to be honest the food was way better than some of the places we ate at which were $50 USD / meal).
Janice was so quick to respond to questions we had and was an amazing host. We're already thinking of our next trip back with our 2.5 year old daughter next time as it was just perfect for what we wanted!

This condo was perfect for our getaway to Maui! My partner and I stayed here for a week and the condo had everything we needed!
Condo: The condo is more spacious than the pictures. The bed was super comfy and the building was very quiet at night, we slept great! The balcony was the reason we picked this condo, since it is big enough for a dining table for 4 as well as 2 full sized lounge chairs, it was so lovely to be able to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze on the balcony! The A/C worked well and we found we only needed it for a few hours in the late afternoon. The kitchen has everything you need and more. There are beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, floaties, and sand toys to borrow. The pool is large with soft water and lots of lounge chairs.
Location: Very conveniently in the middle of Kihei. 100 steps to Kamaole Beach I. About 5 minutes walk to Kamaole Beach II and another 5 to Kamaole Beach III. Lots of shops, restaurants, and ice cream within a 5 minute walk, but it would be best to have a car to get to the larger grocery stores.
Owner: Janice was very helpful and quick to respond! She clearly keeps the condo in excellent order, the info binder has lots of good details, and the arrival and departure process was very smooth!
Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation, we hope we can stay again!!

Loved the central location. Lots of great eateries nearby.
Only suggestion would be to add an additional air conditioning unit to the bedroom as it stays hot at night.
Would stay here again!

This is the best location! From balcony you can see the ocean water, walking distance to beach, walking to food, and walking to things to do tour guides!
Condo is nicely fully equipped with all beach toys, cooking utensils, and toiletries.
The only thing I would suggest is a welcome folder of local hot spots to visit. Other then that we loved our stay!
We will be back to stay!!

The condo was perfect for what we were looking for. Great location, clean, Janice was a great host. Was super nice to have the beach chairs and towels to use. As others have said, be prepared for some stairs to and from the condo, but otherwise perfect!

We are a family of three and had an amazing stay at the condo. The kitchen has all the amenities and the host also graciously provides you with almost any equipment for your beach visits that you might want to use.
The communication with the host was also very clear and she messaged back really quickly. We would love to come back to the condo again.

Our stay in this condo was great. Check-in was easy, the whole place was clean, and most of all, Janice was super responsive and took great care of us the entire time. The real measure of a rental condo is whether we’d want to stay here again for a future trip and the answer for us is absolutely!

Janice provides a well-appointed, well-maintained suite with a comfortable bed. The grounds are beautifully kept, with a good-sized pool. We were close to everything we needed - shops, beach, food.

This was a trip my husband and I planned for our 60th birthdays and our wedding anniversary! Our experience was nothing short of magical! The condo is in an amazing location across from Kam I beach. There are many bars, restaurants, and shops in close proximity as well! As others mentioned, you have to navigate a series of stairs to reach the unit, so if you have mobility issues that may present a challenge. Janice was great! She checked in with us to make sure everything was okay! We had the vacation of a lifetime!

I almost don’t want to praise too much because I want to be able to come back without being booked up! This condo has everything you need, also everything you want. Comfortable bed. So much room and space to unpack and unwind. Kitchen had everything we needed. This condo is close to everything. The lanai is what sold me and didn’t disappoint.
All that said, Janice was a great person to rent from. I hope to stay again.

I just love this rental. I've rented this property several times and will continue in the future. It's always clean, has everything you need, in a great location, and the owner always checks in to ensure you have what you need! My 7 year old neice loved eating outside, listening to birds and watching the sky turn rainbow (Maui sunsets are the best!). Can't wait to book my next trip!

The unit is as advertised. Prefect for my wife and I. Nice and clean and has all you need for your stay on Maui. Great location. Close to the beach, restaurants and shop. Janice had everything in order and provided all the information needed for our stay well ahead of our arrival. We recommend this unit for your stay on Maui.

I am a new user to VRBO and had made final payment on the property the day of check in. I failed to realize that this impacted my ability to check into my VRBO property. I thought the payment was automated on my end but left us Ill prepared to check in. We had to call VRBO support to help us troubleshoot and was told we would get help paying for our first night with a recipe and booking with a VRBO approved hotel. We did everything we were asked and have not received a refund for this matter. Although this is not the hosts fault, the communication on the day of check in most definitely could be improved for a first time user. This will also be my last time using VRBO as they do not follow through with their promises either.
Room was great though! Terrible communication on day of check in. Learn from my mistakes!

This was a fabulous place for my husband and I to stay and celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was clean and comfortable. Nice to be able to do some of our laundry and make a couple meals. So close to the Kam 1 beach to soak in the sun and take an afternoon nap before walking to supper and then capping off the night watching the gorgeous sunset. Convenient location to head out early for our daily excursions. 20 min to Wailuku for a snorkeling trip to Molokini Crater, 1.5hr to the Haleakala Summit Sunrise, and 45 min to Mile Marker 0 to start our Road to Hana. Communication was great via text, email, and the binder that was left on the table for us. The binder also includes suggestions for restaurants and favorite places to visit which were all very helpful. We drove a short distance to Foodland for groceries, Pizza Madness for supper, Sugar Beach Bakery for malasadas, and Ululani’s Hawaiian Shaved Ice. But then we walked to Ohana for supper, and Kihei Caffe for breakfast. Walking out onto the lanai to view the beach, palm streets, and ocean was heavenly and so relaxing. We will definitely stay again if we ever make a 2nd trip to Maui.

If you're looking for a condo right by the beach, Janice's place is for you! She messaged me with info about my stay well ahead of my check-in date, which made our arrival to her place very easy. We had everything we needed at the condo, which was wonderful. You can't beat the location either! The beach, shops and eateries are all right there. Janice even provides recommendations to activities and dining which were helpful as well. I would definitely stay here again!

This was one of the best condo’s I’ve stayed at in Kihei! The condo is walking distance from great restaurants and shops. Grocery store is just down the way. The balcony is big and you can see the ocean. The condo was so clean and had everything I needed.
The owners were so nice and very accommodating. They even checked in with me to ensure I checked in okay. I will most def stay here again!!!!

This was a great condo in a nice complex with a lot of amenities that we didn’t have time to use (pool, grills, pickle ball court, etc.). The living area and deck were more spacious than similar layout condos we’ve stayed in, which is hard to tell from photos. It was a convenient location for exploring in multiple directions, while being within view of the ocean for a quick walk down to see the sunset in the evening. We were very happy here. The only caution I would give is for anyone with mobility issues, there is no way to get to the condo without stairs. Since the complex is built on a hill, there are half flights of stairs between each building and no way to get to this condo, even with the elevator, without going up or down about 3 of the half flights. If that isn’t a problem for you and you like the photos, you’ll love it!

We stayed at Janice’s apartment over a long weekend in Maui and it was everything we hoped for and more. The kitchen is updated, the lanai gets great light and was perfect for breakfast and evening cocktails. The location is excellent — walking distance to restaurants and a good natural foods grocery and an easy drive to restaurants in neighboring towns. Across the street from a great beach, the location is a perfect jumping off point for adventures in the mountains or north along the shore. We can’t wait to come back!

I had a few questions and contacted the owner and she got back with me immediately. The condo is in a good location, easy access to the beach and restaurants and various shopping centers. The condo is in really good shape and is exactly as it shows on the website. If I had two wishes one would be easier access to the condo. It’s a little hard with luggage to go up and down the stairs. Second wish would be a different mattress on the sleeper sofa. The sleeper sofa has a permanent bump in the middle. The sleeper sofa is definitely fine for sleeping but that would just be a wish for a different mattress. I would definitely stay at the condo again.

My daughter, who is a teacher and needed some relaxation for spring break, and I arrived and easily checked in to our beautiful abode. The one bedroom apartment was nicely furnished and had everything we needed to eat in, shower, and sleep comfortably. The location is awesome to walk to the beach or numerous eateries, and centrally located to drive to La Haina, Haleakala, or Hana if one preferred. We actually spent a lot of time on our balcony chatting with those walking by and sitting and sunning by the pool and hot tub. I hope to return soon to this comfortable oasis.
Janice and her husband live nearby and are extremely responsive if anything is needed, even late at night!

This was a great property for our stay in Maui. It was central to Kihei within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants as well as the beach. It was also far enough from the main road in Kehei to allow a quiet stay on the patio. Had everything we needed included beach chairs, towels, umbrella, etc.

We had 3 nights at the end of our stay in Maui at this condo. This condo was beautiful for my husband and I to relax at for the end of our Vacation. We had a minor issue with check in but when we contacted Janice she responded immediately to fix the situation. It is a short walk to the Main Street of Kihei and the beach. We loved having the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler available for a few days at the beach but also loved just the relaxing vibe at this condo.

I had the pleasure of staying in the apt for 5 weeks in Oct/Nov 2021. It is the fourth unit I've stayed in at Kihei Alii Kai over the past several years and by far it was the best. It had a great view of the ocean and West Maui mountains from the table on the lanai that I used to do my work. The interior was also not cluttered with decorations that only get in the way - it was nice and streamlined. Janice was super helpful in checking in with me as I arrived to make sure everything was in order. I'd welcome the opportunity to stay again. Thank you!

This was the perfect rental while staying Maui. It looks just like the pictures, it was clean, and had everything we needed. The lanai was big and had a lovely view. The location is centrally located in Kihei and in walking distance to several beaches and restaurants. We appreciated the clear communication in the welcome binder and even a text to see if there was anything we needed. I would 100% stay here again, thank you!

A great unit to rent for a vacation or a stay-cation! This unit has all the amenities of home that we needed: dishes (pots, pans, utensils, plates, bowls, glassware, bakeware teapot), a small rice cooker, blender, toaster oven, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer, laundry soap, dish soap, sponge, trash bags, blow dryer, walk in shower, beach towels, bath towels, pilows, blankets, beach toys, and air conditioning. The balcony has a beauitful view of the mountain and ocean, as well as a dining set to have breakfast or dinner, and two lounge chairs. There is a pull-out sofa bed for extra guests. The condo is very spacious! It's far enough away from the main street to not hear any traffic, but close enough for a 3 minute walk over to Kamaole Beach Park 1. There are a few restaurants and shops just a 2 minute walk away also. The walk to the unit was a little confusing and there are a few stairs you will need to take to get there, but once you're there, it's worth the short walk. The pool, jacuzzi, and sauna were the cherry on the sundae! Mahalo for a great stay!
