Kihei Kai Nani is in a great location, across the street from the beach, with a nice pool. We love Kihei and all the beaches near there and in Wailea. The condo was older but clean and had a kitchy 50's Hawaiian decor that I enjoyed. The bed was very soft. The back sliding doors are older and you have to be careful sliding them or they come off track easily (typical of doors from that era). The condo is small, perfect for 2 - only a sleeper sofa for any others you might bring along. If we ever go back without the kids, we would love to stay there again. Maui was beautiful but surprisingly empty - apparently the world thinks it all burned down last summer, not just old town Lahaina. (We love Lahaina and are very sad for all the people who lived and worked there). That being said, it was nice being there when it was less crowded than normal, but I would imagine it is hard on an island that runs on tourism.

Nice condo in Kihei. Owners are very quick to respond. Condo bedroom can be loud at night as the bed is next to a wjndow. If you're a light sleeper .

Had a great stay in Kehei here. There were a few things during the stay - but they were all easily manageable and didnt detract from our holiday. Super happy with the beach 'extras' - chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels!

I just stayed here for two weeks and loved it! This unit is decorated so beautifully! So visually appealing and filled with Hawaii style! The king size bed is co comfy and I truly loved having a/c in the bedroom at night. I went in June and really needed A/C then because the trade winds start slowing in June. Otherwise it's situated perfectly so it doesn't get direct sunlight in the unit. Helps keep it cool by just opening the front door and the lanai door and allowing the trade winds and fans to move the air.
The condo had everything I needed and was just as described. And the owner was quick to respond to me. She even rescheduled the exterminator (yes, there are bugs in Hawaii so I did appreciate that there is an exterminator service) so it wasn't while I was staying there. 😁
This was my first stay in this unit... and my third time staying at Kihei Kai Nani. I love this location. It's so close to everything! I can walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery, and shops in just minutes.
The pool is wonderful when the ocean is choppy or brown. The laundry room is also super easy and convenient. Even has soap for purchase and a change machine.
I keep coming back here for all those reasons. And I would definitely stay here again! I highly recommend this unit!
Thank you, Karen, for all the details you've added to the place. They just made the experience authentic for me!

Excellent location just a short walk to the beach, stores, restaurants and central to everything around the island. Accommodations were nice, and condo had everything we needed. We were a bit cramped, but that’s our own fault for trying to cram 3 adults and a teen in such a small space. Still better than a hotel, and a lot less expensive.

There were 3 of us and we couldn’t have asked for a more convenient location. The bed and sofa bed were comfy, the kitchen was stocked well, and there were plenty of beach chairs and toys for all. We would definitely recommend this unit and hope to return before too long!

My stay is always great in Kihei!
This trip, there was something going on with the sewer line and when I reported it, I was re-accommodated in another unit very quickly. Karen has always been wonderful when it comes to her guests. The situation was worked on the same day - the staff at Kihei Kai Nani are the best!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything we could possibly need was provided in the condo, including beach chairs and an umbrella which was a nice touch! The bed was extremely comfortable and the location can’t be beat - we walked across the street to watch the sunset on the beach every night. Highly recommend staying here!

My husband and I lived on Maui for 8 years and moved away 6 years ago. We recently visited for 3 weeks to relive old memories and stayed at a friend's place for most of the time. But, we decided to book a short stay at Kihei Kai Kanani for the last part of our stay to have the experience of being right across from one of the best beaches on Maui. Everything was great and the price was right. It was fun being right in the middle of Kihei and Wailea.

We spent a week exploring Maui and this condo provided all we needed as our home base. The kitchen was nice and well stocked, allowing us to eat at home easily, and the provided beach gear was appreciated. We enjoyed being just a very short walk from the beach, and also the good location relative to the many other sites around Maui. The portable AC unit was useful in the evenings and made it easier to sleep well. It’s not especially fancy but it does the job very well. We’d happily return!

As the title says, you really can’t find a better condo for this price and location. However, the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a while. I also think it’s important to note that there isn’t central AC, only two window units. The one in the bedroom works really well but the one in the living room wasn’t great. I’m not sure what was going on, but the water was shut off three separate time for 5 ish hours at a time while there. Overall, the condo could use some updates, but if you aren’t planning on spending much time there then I highly recommend it. The beach chairs/umbrella were in great shape and the host was very responsive.

We stayed at Karen’s place and had a very good vacation time. The apartment is located just 5 minutes from the beach, and we walked there every single day because it was so close. The apartment is very clean and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing vacation time. One plus thing is the portable air conditioner that help we enjoyed the stay very much.

Already missing this special place. It lacked nothing and had all the amenities we needed and then some. It was clean, quiet, and cozy! Just a like a home away from home should be. We are booking for next year already. Book this one- you won't be disappointed. Did I mention that the bed is more comfortable than the one we have at home?!

We had a great week at Karen's place for our honeymoon – for the cost we paid, we would stay here again and recommend to others!
Location and Property 5/5 - Right across from a few beaches, easy available parking, pool and laundry on site, easy to walk to shops and food, fairly quiet other than some roosters in the morning. We spent our mornings on the lanai, it was private and lush-even with a building on the other side of the bushes we barely knew there was anything going on back there. Unfortunately there was a pest spray of our building occurring during our stay which was a minor inconvenience for us.
Condo Amenities 4/5 - Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, kitchen was fully stocked and lots of beach gear available. A few items in the kitchen and bathroom could use a refresh/replacement. A/C in the unit was great to have, we really only needed to use it in the bedroom at night as the unit was fairly breezy during the day. Bed was on the softer side and was comfortable based on our preferences.
Cleanliness 4/5 - Some aspects of the condo could have been cleaner, but perhaps the cleaners were rushed on the last turnover. Any bugs we found were dead, but nothing exceptionally unusual for Hawaii.
Communication 4/5 - Karen provided thorough instructions on accessing the property. She got back to us quickly when we messaged her.

This 1b1b was a great fit for our small family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small kids) and was in excellent location across the pool and also across the street from the ocean. Unit was very clean and had everything we needed. Kitchen was nicely stocked for our needs, also had some extra beach equipment for us to use such as chairs and umbrellas. AC units worked very well and kept us cool. The sofa also is a pull out bed though we didn’t get to use it. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Cute little spot - has all that you need for a Maui getaway! I did not spend too much time in the place during the day as we were out literally all day. It worked well for our party of 2. We used the pull-out sofa bed, which wasn't bad at all. You can hear most of what is going on outside and with the nearby neighbors, something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. I was so tired from being out all day that it was fine, plus the AC served as background noise. I would definitely stay there again.

Location is awesome!! We walked to the beach several times, along with walking to restaurants and stores! But also, we did many activities on different sides of the island (Hana, Haleakala, Lahaina zip line, blow hole far north, etc.) and this area of Kihei is PERFECT for getting to all places within a reasonable time! BTW, to see a quick video of this condo and reviews on things to do in Maui, check out my TikTok (@VegasKnowItAll)!
The place was actually larger than I anticipated! It's very comfortable and fully stocked! Shower has nice pressure and plenty of hot water, A/C in bedroom worked great (only one we needed for a few hours we've going to bed), and the bed was SOOOO comfortable! My friend and I both slept like rocks every night (even through all the loud birds/roosters in the morning.. lol).
Parking is fine, plenty of spaces in front of the door and communication was timely! I would definitely stay here again!

The condo is right across the street from the best beach in the area. On either side of the property there are great restaurants like Coconut’s Fish Grill, Fred’s Mexican Restaurant, and The Cinnamon Roll place for amazing breakfasts. There is also a small market next door. The Community BBQ is right out the back, and the lanai patio is great and very private.

April 2022
The location of the complex was for us perfect - with easy access to the beach for sunset views, a short drive to grocery stores and restaurants, and also a good location to reach each corner of Maui.
The unit had everything we needed in terms of beach chairs, towels, and even toys and an umbrella! Unlike so many condos, the kitchen was well supplied with everything needed to cook or store food. The ONLY missing thing was a cutting board!
I had to take the lamp shade off one of the table lamps as I found the great room too dark as there was no overhead light.

This condo was very convenient to restaurants and beaches. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed was nice, but on the soft side, which might be an issue for some, but a dream for others. We really appreciated being able to schedule a late checkout and also the beach chairs and beach umbrella. We used the AC in the bedroom at night but never even needed the other one. The temperature stayed pretty nice. But I was so glad to know that we had the option if it were to be too hot.

Just a great find in South Kihei! We absolutely loved this property. Karen was very helpful in her communications and made it very clear how to find the property and check in. The condo is located on the 1st floor which is fantastic because you have access to the delightful backyard with a grill a few yards away for all your outdoor cooking. Everything you need is in the condo, all the cooking utensils, dishes, etc. There are beach chairs and an umbrella too. The bed is actually very comfortable! There are AC units in the bedroom and the living room but we have not used it even once because the condo has a nice draft once you open the back door and the front door and leave the storm screens closed. The location is fantastic! Right across the street from Kamaole 2 beach, next to Fred's Mexican cafe and Coconut's cafe. Foodland is a very short drive away for all your delicious Poke bowls!!! Thank you very much for everything Karen! We loved it there and we will certainly be back!

Perfect location! I attended a conference during a national holiday and needed a place where I could rest and have fun after each meeting - this hit the spot. Quiet, fun surroundings, stores, restaurants, everything I needed within short walking distances. The condo was so comfortable with amenities that went above what I expected and the staff on-site were spot on and very attentive. I highly recommend this condo. Thank you for everything, Karen and Vern! I'll be back.

The condo was a great place for my partner and I to stay while we hopped over from Oahu. We were very impressed with the area and how nice the whole complex was! We are already trying to convince more family from the mainland to come join us on a longer vacation so we can truly take in what Maui has to offer! We had a short but unforgettable time and getting to come back to a clean and cool condo each night to make dinner was awesome. Highly recommend the Kihei Kai Nani and hope to be back so soon. Aloha!

The unit is excellent and exceeded my expectations completely. Compared to other units available in the same price range, this place is amazing. Cross the street and you're a few steps from the sand. Central to restaurants, shopping, and services (all within walking distance) . Less than 3 miles you the Shops at Wailea. Karen was great to deal with, answered all my inquiries with a very quick response time. I had everything I needed and would recommend this unit to my family and friends! Mahalo!

I absolutely love this condo. My 9th year coming over to the same place. It feels like home. Close to the pool, beach and shopping. Everything you need will be in this condo, even laundry soap. How great is that? The welcome basket is always a treat. I recommend this unit to anyone who wants a quality vacation unit. There's even an air conditioner in the bedroom now. What a pleasant surprise. Maybe when I come in the summer I will need to test it out.

My husband and I stayed here for four nights in late November. The unit was clean, easy to find, and comfortable. The complex is a little dated, but met our needs nonetheless. It really feels you are vacationing where the locals vacation, very laid back and authentic. We really enjoyed the proximity to great beaches and yummy food! I would have awarded 4.5 stars if possible and the only reason that it wasn't a 5 star experience was the small problem we had with ants in the bathroom - I prefer not having to spray for pests when I'm on vacation....but again, that was a very small inconvenience. Overall a wonderful experience.

I stayed here for 4 nights in November 2017 as a party of 2 adults. In my previous 2 trips to Maui, I also stayed in other properties in the Kihei area. With this unit, there was an ownership change at the time, but that did not affect my stay.
The unit is centrally located in Kihei and is within walking distance to restaurants and beaches. There was plenty of parking. It's also a very quiet unit. I think the complex is generally quiet.
The condo is well furnished, the appliances are newer and it looks like there have been some updates throughout. We cooked our dinners during the evening. Internet connection was strong. There is some limited TV, but we didn't stay up to watch.
There is a central laundry / dryer room located next to the pool. The change machine does not return dollar bills, so don't put in large dollar bills, otherwise, you'll be getting a lot of quarters in return.
I found that the air con unit was not needed during the evenings. I know the time we were there was a bit cooler than usual, but it's possible that the trade winds will keep the unit comfortably cool in the evenings.
I did not use the lanai area as we already left the unit in the morning, and usually came back in the evening by sunset.
Overall, I was happy with my stay in Unit 142. It would be good for solo and couples.
