Kealia Resort #203 is a gem... a beautiful & comfortable home away from home! Everything you need is waiting for you. Sleep peacefully on a king-size bed, relax watching the swaying palm trees & the ocean from the lanai, living room & kitchen. An instant exhale. Take the elevator or a quick set of stairs to the pool and Sugar Beach, or BBQ at the oceanfront grills. During this trip we discovered sweeping views & amazing menu at Ocean Organic Farm & Distillery in Kula, a short 20-minute drive - next to Surfing Goat Dairy). Do not miss the toasted coconut or lilikoi malasadas & key lime pie at Sugar Beach Bake Shop (a quick 10-minute walk) are out of this world! Thanks, Sherry for the recommendation! A wonderful stay.

This is our 3rd stay at Kealia and our second in unit 203. We love this unit for its beautiful view of the ocean, the sounds of the ocean waves overnight and that you can just walk right out to the beach! The unit was clean, well maintained and had all the amenities we needed. We highly recommend a stay in unit 203.

We love the place and location..Coffee in the morning, watching the sun rises and sets is one of our things to do. We can’t wait to stay here again soon!

My sister and I stayed here in March. Our view from the balcony was awesome! The condo was an a central location to everything and not long of a drive to other parts of the island. As others have described the condo needs an update/renovation as the building is rundown, we didn’t mind much as we were always out and about. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, pool noodles, and cooler you could use. We didn’t swim at this beach as it had a high tide. Check-in was easy and the manager was very responsive with any questions. We enjoyed our stay but for the condition of the condos not sure if we would stay here again unless they are renovated.

OVERALL: From 9/20/2023-9/24/2023 in room 203, I enjoyed my stay despite minor disruptions that were resolved during the stay (faulty bathroom vanity light, broken coffee maker, etc.). Our unit was on the second floor overlooking the pool and beach. The views could be seen from the front door, through the kitchen and the living room/dining room. I appreciated the white kitchen and organization updates in the kitchen (esp the drawer and cabinet pull-outs). I liked that the bedroom had a large window view of the ocean and trees. It was very convenient that the unit had its own beach towels, beach chairs (with straps as an attached backpack), umbrellas, and small cooler that we took to the local beaches including the one right outside. Once we touched base with the front desk manager, she was a fount of great information and recommendations. The bedroom was large, had a window with a view of the trees and ocean (it also had a camera that looks right into the bedroom so could that be changed please?) and had a futon in the sitting area (for extra sleeping spaces - good idea). CONS: Cleanliness was not up to par. I swept the entire unit within hours of arrival and found dirt (not just sand) on the floor). I handwashed the few plates, mugs, classes and silverware we did use before using them as they seemed dirty/spotty; I handwashed them afterwards. I did not use the dishwasher while there. The bathroom was clean. Although not all the dresser's drawers worked, there was still enough space to unpack some items and the bedroom was clean. The only other downside was that the bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable. We could feel the springs through it so it's time to replace that. Otherwise, everything else was great.

No one answered the emergency phone number. We had to leave the rental car in the space because it wouldn't start. We left for the airport but couldn't notify anyone because no one answered the phone.

The marketing photos are shot with a fisheye lens, you're shocked upon entering the unit to see how small it is. I'll describe some of the features and you decide if it's a luxury unit. The white track light canisters in the living area and kitchen have yellowed in the last there decades of use. The white drapes in the bedroom are stained, apparently from rain exposure a year or two previous. The pale floor tiles really make the dirty black grout pop. The grout reaches it's pinnacle of grunge where it meets the shower and morphs into multiple shades of brown and black. Nimble feet and skinny legs are helpful when operating the bathroom door as it clears the toilet by only an inch, really. We found stepping into the shower first before closing the bathroom door was helpful. Interesting use of a bar sink for the bathroom sink, created some helpful vanity space. Pots and pans have long lost their non-stick coatings, only one was usable. The manager Sherry, told my wife the contract couldn't be broken, all the other units were the same and she was just nit-picking. Use realistic photos and accurate adjectives when marketing the property, luxury and newly renovated don't fit. All said, the grounds are well maintained and the units are thirty yards from one of the nicest sections of white sand beach on Maui. An in-service on customer relations would be beneficial for the management.

Nice condo, but bathroom was tiny and hard to navigate. Bring binoculars and do some whale watching from your deck. Convenient access to restaraunts and night life. This area is very windy so pack your windbreaker.

We were very pleased with every aspect of our Maui rental. Sherry was awesome, the grounds and the unit we stayed in were immaculate. The unit was well supplied with everything anyone could need, including beach chairs, beach towels, cooler and binoculars. Kealia Resort is located so that the afternoon trade winds are mostly blocked by the condo complex, making sitting and watching the wonderful beach sunsets very enjoyable . Sugar beach was terrific.... Sandy, with lots of room to explore and walk. The gal that took care of the pool and grounds was up early and kept everything clean and well cared for. We loved staying at Kealia Resort and will highly recommend this to our friends and family. Thank you, especially Sherry. Mahalo!

Have been to the Kealia resort before and always love it. It is definitely our favorite place to stay on Maui. The beach is spectacular but not crowded like some are. Walking on the beach is one of our favorite things to do. It is close to Maalaea harbor so very convenient for fishing or snorkeling trips. Also close to shops, restaurants, and grocery stores in Kehei. Housekeeping was a surprise this time. Some dishes in cabinet were still dirty and the area rugs and bathroom rugs were pretty old,dirty,dingy looking. The bathroom could have been cleaned better. But I would definitely come back here again. You just can’t beat the beach here.

Had a fantastic short trip to Maui and was able to get into a condo at Kealia Resort. Great central location that allowed easy access to Wailea, Kapalua and Kahului. The condo had all the amenities that you needed in the kitchen as well as for the beach. Great views, loved sleeping with the patio door and windows open to hear the crashing of the waves.

Our stay at Kealia 203 was a relaxing and fun time. You can’t beat the location. The suite itself is in need of some TLC. It could use more colour in the living area, and upgrading of small appliances. We heard that the room was getting a paint job in the near future. The Keurig coffee machine only liked to work part time. In the dresser, the bottom drawer will fall right in. Also, we were disappointed that a desk, advertised, was not available in the bedroom and there was a futon in it’s place. The window screens were very dusty, as were the drapes, especially in the bedroom. We suggest the installation of a safe would be highly appreciated. A couple of other issues were quickly and pleasantly handled by Sherry. Thank you!

Pool closure banning kids due to a rude and disrespectful group put a damper on our trip. Pool and beach were great. Not great AC or fans. It was very hot. Basic amenities in the room and no replenishing of basics such as toilet paper which we ran out of and were told to buy our own. Nice time, but we won’t be back.

Beautiful views and great location on the beach!! Kihei is central, but not much is walking distance so I recommend renting a car if you stay here. The apartment was nice and clean, had a TV, washer/dryer in unit, and dishwasher which were very convenient, and a great little patio! Heads up it can get pretty hot in the bedroom at night.
