This property was great for our weekend gateway! We had a great time and it was perfect location to everything we wanted to do. Definitely recommend and will be staying again next time we come.

Great location - walk to beach but not an ocean view. Fully equipped - everything was included. Vertical blinds in living room are aging and need to be replaced. Four of the slats ended on the floor due to wind.

Our stay was amazing. Since we have stayed at the Village by the Sea on many other visits, we knew the location, amenities, etc. The condo was furnished beautifully. The care in the condition of the condo and cleanliness was wonderful. We could not have been happier.

We experienced several issues during our 10 day stay that made this a less than ideal experience. I will say the management company was very responsive, but these issues should never have happened. 1st the towels and sheets had a musty smell. The smell you get when laundry is not fully dry before putting away. They came same day to swap out. Then the internet was not working and was not fixed until 2 days before we were leaving. They tried to get it fixed sooner but I guess the owner did not approve that solution. That was very inconvenient as I had to go somewhere else to do my daily planning, check work emails, and made it difficult for me to look up restaurant info (hours, menu, phone #). I didn’t mention any of this to the management company, but I will mention here so future renters will be aware. Upon arrival I wiped down all surfaces with Lysol wipes and every surface was dirty. The unit is right above the trash so you will be awaken very early by garbage trucks, not the roosters. There was a note on the fridge that said they provided quarters for an initial load of laundry but did not receive. The glass-top coffee table is a nuisance as we kept bumping into it. The unit is spacious but has a strange configuration with large empty open space in the middle. The cooler has seen better days and needs to be replaced. The building is on the ocean side of the street, but it’s a bit of a walk to get to the beach. A couple of positives: great shower pressure and instant hot water, good mattress, good location in Kihei

Nearly everything was perfect about this condo, except for the condition of the mattresses. The mattress on the bed was so soft it was like sleeping on a hammock, so I had to sleep on the hide-a-bed and gather all the bedding from the condo and put it down so I didn’t feel the metal rails coming through the thin mattress. Still, I had back pain the entire week I was there, and I never have back pain. Unless they replace the mattress on the bed, I won’t ever rent this place again and will not recommend it to a friend. However, if they replace the mattress, I’ll be back. Thankfully, I was traveling by myself or more people would’ve been very uncomfortable.

Our stay at kahula makai #222 was exceptional. The unit was clean cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is idealy located near food places grocery stores and beaches. The property management company was very attentive courteous and helpful. We will definitely book our next stay in Maui at kahuale makai #222.

The property and condo unit were ok. The living room furniture definitely needs to be cleaned. Instructions for the tv would have been helpful. The beach is very rocky. It’s not one you would want to take a walk on or even sit at. That was disappointing. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.

We have enjoyed our stay and communication with the management was great. The condo is nice, spacious and clean, located just a short drive from stores. It's a bit on the outskirts of town, so I'm glad we had a rental car. Both, the bedroom bed and pull out couch are squeaky and could use an upgrade. The beach wasn't very impressive at that area but again, with a rental we were able to explore nearby Wailea and Lahaina. Plenty of beach accessories in the condo.

Just got back from our 8 night stay. Overall I would recommend this property. I only have 2 negatives. 1) too close to Kihei Rd. In the morning, the road noise is loud enough to be annoying, especially when looking forward to a nice quiet morning on the deck. Not as noticeable in the afternoon because of the trade winds. 2) it’s very close to the trash chute. It seemed like every other day they would pick up. They pick up early morning, around 6:30am. Very noisy.
Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay. Pool is nice and the BBQ’s have to be the cleanest BBQ’s I have ever seen. Cleaner than mine. Not the best beach, but nice for the sunsets and walks.

Kitchen was well stocked, we ate all of our meals in and used the grills by the pool. Great for our family of 4. Kids are 9 and 11 and slept in the fold out couch. Great location!

Everything met our expectations, we would have preffered being closer to services. Distance was not an issue, sidewalks at this end of town would make walking instead of driving an option.

Reviewer Comments:
This condo is very outdated and not in a great area. It is not walkable to any Kihei stores, restaurants, etc. but does have a decent pool and nice beach within walking distance. The condo itself was clean but could use a fresh coat of paint and a deep clean, as it really showed its age. Dealing with the rental agency was very easy, and they sent a lot of info beforehand with things to do, etc.

The unit below us seems to NOT understand that there is no smoking on the property. We cannot even enjoy the balcony because of the constant smoking below us.

We loved our stay, the space was large, clean, and had everything you needed and more for a comfortable stay. The suite had plenty of beach supplies (umbrella, chairs, and toys for kids) plenty of towels, and really everything you need for your stay. The property has a fantastic pool and hot tub, we loved going for morning walks on the beach and cooking on the communal barbecue for dinners. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was our family of four. The kids slept in the living room (one on the pull out sofa and the other on the floor on the sofa cushions, for some reason) and both were perfectly happy and comfortable. Hubs and I slept great in the bed. Between the fan and the screen doors, the temperature was perfect at night for sleeping. The shower had great water pressure! The place was well stocked with linens (pool towels too), plus beach chairs. Well stocked kitchen, although we didn't cook much in it! We enjoyed breakfast each morning on the porch looking at the ocean. Pool was beautifully clean and a great temperature. Parking was never an issue and the location was great for exploring different parts of the island. Great beach for walking!

Although we didn't spend much time there because we were off seeing the sites most of the time this is a great rental. Although this was our first time to Maui we felt like this is the best liaison for having access to the entire island. Also locally there are plenty of this to do and see as well as easy without feeling over "touristy". We would definitely stay here again.

We usually stay in Lahaina so this was our first time staying in Kihei and I'm glad we were able to find this rental. It was just as it looks on the posting. The rental is conveniently located close to a lot of great food spots and a short drive to our favorite beaches (Keawakapu, Wailea, Polo, Maluaka and Ulua).
I would say some areas/appliances could use some improvements/updates. In both the living room and bedroom, there were missing blinds and the stick to turn and move the blinds were broken. We reported it (to not be held liable) upon our arrival since we did a walk through of the rental. The vacuum & iron could use an update as well. Other than that, all the amenities listed on the posting were provided. We bought & left some pool noodles and beach toys for the next renter to use. We'd definitely stay here again!

Every single day the building was power washed starting at 8AM and it continued well throughout the day. It was extremely loud. Also, almost all of the washers and dryers (1 available for the entire building) were “under repair” requiring us to go to a different building. If you’re staying longer than a week, bring some extra toilet paper or be prepared to go purchase some.
