The location is good. Pretty central so you can get to most popular parts of the island within 25-40 minutes. It’s about a 5 minute drive to the section of Kihei that has all the restaurants and shops. You definitely need a car rental.
There is no designated parking for the unit, so you will have to struggle to get parking every time you return. All the conveniently located parking is for tenants are near the elevator needed to go up to this rental. The rest are on the far end of the parking lot and you have to get lucky to get one every time you come back. So you will have to haul all your beach gear across a long parking lot everyday.
The unit is probably only about 700 square feet. The living room is about 10 by 10 square feet, but looks much larger in photos. There is no dining table. The rooms are a comfortable size.
The master bedroom has a VERY FIRM foam mattress. So make sure you like a firm bed. Also there is NO lock on the master bedroom door.
The laundry it says it comes with is actually a shared coin operated laundry room down the hall with two very old washers and two dryers. You have to stay and wait until all your laundry is completed since it’s public. The building is from the 60’s I assume. It hasn’t been updated. So it was a surprise when we went in.
The view is gorgeous, the pool is very clean. But there’s no shady area or umbrella covered tables to sit at by the pool. These are important things to know. But overall it’s a nice rental.

We had an absolutely amazing time staying at the Condo! The owner was so quick to respond to any questions we had. The condo is in the perfect location to explore the island as well as a short walk to the beach. The condo itself was beach modern, clean, had everything we needed, and had spectacular views of the ocean. We will definitely be staying here again!

First off, Joe was absolutely wonderful and very responsive when I had a question. A short walk to the beach. Beautiful, quiet, penthouse property with amazing views. The beds were actually comfortable unlike so many other properties.
Incredibly well appointed. Lots of blankets, towels, beach gear, laundry supplies, first aid kit, etc. The property was very close to other beaches, tons of restaurants, stores, basically anything you could want.
My mom, brother, and myself all loved it here and are looking forward to staying again!

Joe's property is very clean and beautifully decorated. The layout of the bedrooms are very nice too. We love the view of the ocean from the balcony and the beach is about 1 min walk from the property. Everything you need is provided and we have borrowed the beach chairs and towels for our snorkel outing. We also liked the location of the property, it is centrally located and if you want to stay not far from the airport and want to visit the Haleakala N.P, Paia, Makawao and the Kaanapali and Wailea area, this is the place you want to stay. Highly recommend this place.

We had several family members staying in the area of Kihei for my nephew's wedding. As it turned out we were all within a minute or two of the others but everyone said our condo was the nicest one of all. It had everything we needed and everything was brand new and clean. The only thing I would add, is it would have been nice to have Kleenex tissues somewhere in the condo. Thank you for a great day

Let’s start with the unit itself. It is beautiful, freshly remodeled, and has all the amenities you could ask for. The view from the balcony is second to none but also has great privacy away from other units as well. The pool area was nicely set up with a kids pool, adult pool, and hot tub. Many of the folks we traveled couldn’t believe how nice it was. It is also in an ideal location! Less than 10 minutes from anything you could want, but far enough away that it isn’t over run or busy. The beach right outside the unit was perfect for our daughters to find all of the “treasure” they could get their hands on. Shells, sea glass, lava rock, coral, star fish, and other sea creatures were amongst the collection. A 10 minute walk down the beach we came across a sea turtle resting area where any evening we went we could find 10-20 turtles nesting/resting for the night. The sunsets were also second to none from the balcony! We sat on the balcony and whale watched with our morning coffee every day. It was great to have beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board, cooler, and a few sand toys in the unit so we didn’t have to rent anything. The host was amazing to work with and answered any questions extremely quickly. You can tell Joe takes great pride in the unit and wants it to be a home away from home for people who stay there. We will 100% stay here again next time we visit! Like the title says, stop looking and book if you can. It will not disappoint!

We enjoyed our stay in this Kauhale Makai unit very much. In addition to it being super clean and recently renovated, I loved all the little touches (such as nightlights, a drying rack for swimsuits, and beach chairs) that the owner provided for guests. Joe was very responsive to any questions we had and offered to work with us on a flexible check out time, which we really appreciated!

This unit is amazing! Everything is new and updated and beautifully done. Beds were so comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Loved our view from the top floor was. The beach was never busy and the water was calm.
Recommendations: Rent a paddle board delivery for your stay.
Get Poke at Tamura's Fine Wine and Liquors, Brunch at Nalu's and anything at OAO Sushi Go food truck.
Bring Binoculars! You can see whales from the beach!

Home was beautiful with an amazing view! Room was as pictured with nice amenities. Property had a shared pool and hot tub which we frequented during our stay. It was a short walk to a beach which was empty! The location was great too, a short drive to many restaurants and businesses. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

We came to Maui for a long weekend and found the perfect condo to stay at. It was clean. The beds were super comfortable and the view is fantastic. We didn’t spend much time in the condo because, you know, Maui. But it was a great place to have as a home base.

Had a wonderful stay! Pictures are exactly what it looks like in person. Loved the views! Enjoyed having beach chairs and umbrella! Very convenient to have a cooler bag too, it came in super handy for our day on the road to Hana! Joe was responsive. Laundry was onsite. Must have quarters or use their app. Overall, It was a pleasant, relaxing stay.

Completely remodeled is no exaggeration. This place is beautiful! The ocean view from the balcony is stunning and the sunsets were gorgeous. We'd never been to Maui and were very happy we chose Kehei and Kauhale Makai in particular. Joe was a 5+ owner/host who responded immediately and was very accommodating. Thanks Joe!

This condo exceeded our expectations. The owner thought of everything. We made use of the beach chairs, boogie board, and especially the sand free beach towels! Everything was thought of to make the stay comfortable for the guests. Laundry and pool were awesome as well! Thank you!

Relaxing and beautiful condo, decorated perfectly. Owners were extremely responsive and helpful. View was gorgeous and location ideal. Pool and hot tub were fun for a low key visit since we’re not typical tourists looking to sightsee. Location is central for plenty of that if you’re looking for it, though. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was clean, modern, and we'll stocked. We all slept great - beds were comfortable and unit was quiet. The view is beautiful - we got amazing sunset photos on the beach right in front of the property. Highly recommend!

We’ve been to Maui a few times before and Joe’s place is the best. Very clean, beautifully decorated, modern, and well located in Kihei. Joe’s unit is on the top floor at the end of the building, facing the ocean (not the pool) so it was extremely peaceful and quiet. The inner facing units seem to have a different vibe than the outer facing ones. The beach in front got rough when the afternoon winds picked up but there is a reef protected beach 1 minute away. The chairs, towels and cooler were so helpful to have. Laundry on the same floor made it easy to wash a couple loads at a time. Joe was very responsive to our questions. We would love to stay here again!

The condo was so comfortable to stay in. You can tell the owners put a lot of attention to detail and everything in the condo from the dish ware and utensils to the pillows are such high quality. I wish I would have paid more attention to what was included in the condo because I would have packed less. Specifically, each bathroom had a blow dryer, body wash and shampoo and conditioner. The owner supplies some great Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella and an insulated beach bag! SO convenient!! The property is nice and low key, so is Kihei. I didn't have any issues with the other tenants and couldn't hear any neighbors being on the top floor. The laundromat on the same floor was helpful for not overpacking too. The view is spectacular to wake up to and the beach just a short walk from the condo has amazing sunsets and turtles swimming by if you look closely. All in all we had such a great time and relaxing stay in this lovely condo.

We had a wonderful time here! The condo is exactly as advertised, beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The complex is quiet with plentiful parking. We appreciated being on the top floor with no one above us and wonderful views of the waterfront. Joe is a great host, very responsive and helpful. We are so happy we booked the unit and would definitely stay again in the future. If you're looking for a new, conveniently located, and lovely place to stay in Kihei for your next Maui vacation, don't hesitate to come here!

We were very pleased that the unit and location were exactly as shown on the Vrbo site. (we have experienced otherwise) This unit was clean and beautiful, with an amazing view and a perfect location. We highly recommend this unit and if we were to return to Maui would stay here again.

We stayed for several nights and found that the unit was so well equipped and comfortable that we didn't even want to eat out. The condo feels much larger than we expected and is newly renovated. The finishes and amenities are very high end, and the view of the ocean, beach and mountains are great. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better spot for our Maui getaway. Thanks so much to Joe for great communication and support before and during our trip. We'll be back!

Beautiful newly remodeled and updated condo. Was perfect for our long stay. Apartment was super clean with brand new everything. Condo itself was great for a family or longer stay when you need access to a full kitchen and laundry room. I had a toddler (16 month) and they had a pack n play and fully stocked rooms with linens / pillows and blankets which she likes too.Fully stocked kitchen. Has towels, beach chairs , cooler, beach blankets and beach umbrella which came in very handy. Has two big sized bedrooms - master with a King size bed , tv and it's own bathroom . The second room has a queen size bed and it's own bathroom. Has a big size family room with a tv and adjacent space for the fold out dinner table and two chair counter. Patio with entrance from master and family room . Patio has tables and chairs. Great location in Kihei with a private beach as your backyard. Close to all the family friendly beaches( kamaole, big beach- my fav, Mākena beach etc) , great local food spots close by ( Kihei caffe, cafe olei, miso phat, Paia fish market, tamuras poke etc) and resorts and shopping in Wailea . Also short drive 20 min to Lahaina and downtown area , the airport (ogg) and Makawao . Really great location for anything you want to do in Maui. Close to a lot of businesses that do whale watching, surfing , snorkeling etc.
Property manager was very responsive and accommodating
Would overall give it 5 star and stay here again if we do come back to Maui!

My husband and I stayed in Kihei for a few short days on our last days in Maui. The only thing I regret about our trip is that we didn't book this brand new unit for our entire trip. We stayed in another condo in Lahaina and it was not even comparable to this amazing unit.
The unit has everything we could think of wanting. A fully stocked kitchen was so nice for making dinners and breakfasts and for watching the sunrises. The view out of the condo is breathtaking. I can't wait to go back and book this condo for our entire trip.

We were fortunate to be the first family to stay in this newly-remodeled Kihei Condo. The location is great and the beach is extremely close. We loved watching the sunsets on the 6th floor balcony. Very tasteful, modern remodel with all new everything from floor to ceiling. The bed was perfect. The kitchen was by far the most well-stocked kitchen of any property we've stayed at. The owner thought of everything! Highly recommended place to stay in Kihei.

The ocean views from the lanai are amazing while having breakfast and watching whales. The attention to detail of this unit is beyond any other unit I have stayed in. It was nice being on the top floor to not have to hear people above you. The elevator was quick and available for quick access to the unit. We will be back to this great unit and can’t wait to watch the ocean from the unit--AMAZING! This unit is incredible. Selfishly I want to keep it all to myself because I hope it will be available on my next trip to Maui.
