Tucked away within the quiet rearward part of this tranquil, low-rise resort and nestled in the Maui tropical greenery that sways just off the lanai, Kihei Kai Nani 238 is an elegant second floor one-bedroom condo is less than a two-minute stroll from stunning Kamaole II Beach. Morning coffee off your private lanai, or across the street at the beach, may become a new habit.

Located directly in the heart of South Kihei's beach culture, surrounded by casual and upscale dining options and every manner of convenience you can concoct. Kihei Kai Nani is a highly rated resort known for its laid-back vibe, pool, and proximity to any type of restaurant you desire. Soft-swaying trade winds off the nearby provide a natural cool and are backed up with air conditioning when the need arises. Off the private lanai – perfect for taking in morning coffee or your home-prepped island feast – Maui's natural greenery provides the perfect backdrop for your own tropical adventure. The condo is sparkling clean and perfectly maintained, and you will find Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and a cooler awaiting to accommodate your beach day at Kamaole II Beach, literally right across the street.

Enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets on earth at day's end on the Kihei Road viewing wall or take a day's end dip. Adjoining Kamaole III Beach is a popular early morning and late afternoon dining spot for our plentiful sea turtle population, which feeds on the algae off the rocks.

Rent your SUP and surfboards and snorkeling gear right next door or jump on the sand pathway along the beach that meanders for miles all the way past Kihei's quaint harbor to the Wailea resorts. The property is an ideal base for beach poking, with the three “Kamaole Jewels” (One, Two and Three) all practically at your doorstep. One of Maui's favorite watering holes and Mexican restaurants sits directly next door.

Completely updated and furnished in an upscale tropical tone, the condo sleeps up to four guests in comfort and style and features a well-equipped kitchen with full-sized appliances. High-speed internet, an array of cable channel options, and a luxury hotel-level King mattress await after your day's outings. Venture off property and you are immediately in the slow, casual flow of Kihei's beachy lifestyle and within close range of shopping and activities. The property is located in South Kihei, the most desirable section of the sleepy Maui coastal community, and home to its best beaches. You are a five-minute car ride from Wailea's resort wedding venues and fine dining options, and close to world class shopping of every type.

This immaculate property, managed by Vacation-Maui, is complete with beach gear, including beach chairs, beach towels, a beach umbrella, and a small cooler. Due to back-to-back bookings, cleaning, and maintenance schedules, early check-ins and late checkouts cannot be accommodated at this time. If you have a late flight out, we recommend booking an extra night to accommodate your schedule. Mahalo for understanding.

Great spot for morning walks on beach and sunset! Pool was incredible and quiet by 10 every night

What a great stay! The only thing to note is make sure you bring earplugs because the chickens and birds love to wake up around 5:30 or 6am. The sun shines pretty bright in the morning so bring an eye mask as well if you're sensitive to morning light. Otherwise beautiful stay. Location: The walkable beaches were a game changer. Less than one mile from some of our favorite beach snorkel spots with great bathrooms and beach showers. Grounds: the grounds for these condos was beautiful. Just from the balcony we saw so many different birds, lizards, insects, plants, etc. so many different flowers to look at as you walk through the parking lot. The pool and laundry facilities were pristinely clean.

I was happy with this place for the price, not ritzy but certainly adequate, some would say that the amenities are just a bit dated. I would come back again. Pillows on the bed were great, but the mattress was not the most comfortable. Still, i would give it 4.5 stars if i could, just didn't think it quite reached 5 stars for me

My husband & I really enjoyed our stay here, we are very familiar with the Kihei area and the location was absolutely perfect, very walkable to many shops & restaurants & beaches. The condo is clean and had everything we needed for our five night stay, including beach & pool gear. The furniture is a little outdated but that doesn't really matter because you don't spend too much time in the condo when in Maui.  I enjoyed drinking my coffee and reading my book on the lanai in the morning, and the pool was perfect in the afternoon after it gets too windy at the beach. All in all a great stay!

Wonderful town of Kihei and a wonderful condominium! Kamaole II is one of the best beaches on the island in our opinion. :) December weather was bright and sunny with a few sprinkles of rain and rainbows. We had a chance to see Kanekoa Christmas concert at the local theater, and we deeply impressed by the electric-ukulele-rock improvisations. Condominium community Christmas dinner potluck made us feel right at home, as a part of a big family. The management did an excellent job of having the condo ready, and responding to our calls if we needed anything (e.g. early check-in). We wish that there was more information available about the progress of Lahaina's restoration and how Maui visitors could help Maui to recover from Lahaina fires, and to contribute to Lahaina's restoration. Thank you! Mahalo!

We recently had a great six night stay in Maui at the Kihei Kai Nani. This quiet, clean, family friendly property is steps away from the amazing beach and amazing snorkling!! The pool was a great space, and very refreshing. Adjacent to the pool was a useful/clean laundry room with lots of machines. Ample parking for tenants too. Our unit in building 12 was directly across from the pool, and was very quiet. We liked the convenient keyless entry into the unit even though our code didn’t work until exactly 4pm (checkin time), we arrived at our door at 3:55pm. The unit is as shown in the photos and is spacious enough for a couple or small family. The bed was not great and may require replacement but we liked that it was a king size. Kitchen was fully stocked with all things needed to prepare three meals a day. Bathroom was clean and spacious as was the living room. We appreciated the beach chairs, bamboo mat and umbrella to take to the beach. We loved the quietness of Kihei and its proximity to many other tourist attractions and cannot wait to plan to come again. Our one and only complaint was the entire property touts itself on being a ‘smoke free property’ with designated smoking areas. We are non-smokers yet not all tenants abided by the above rule. On more than one evening, we were displeased to have the smell of smoke enter our unit (windows were closed) from what we believe was the unit below via the AC unit. Sad that people don’t follow the rules.

This was an amazing place to stay. We came for a relaxing vacation and we were able to do that with this apartment. It's right next to a couple of restaurants and the beach is right across the street. I loved my time staying here and I would book again

Great rate allowed for digestion of high fees and cleaning charges. Condo complex is well kept and close to both beach and local stores and restaurants. The condo itself is a bit aged, and basic- no extras or luxury. Commercial grade linens and towels, and older furniture. There was a simple vibe and overall it was a nice place to stay but you get what you pay for and this is a prime example of this fact.

Excellent host, super responsive and just a pleasure to deal with. The host replaced the units beach umbrella after if blew away at the beach for us within 24 hours, absolutely going above and beyond the role of a host. The location was the best area to stay in Maui, centrally located near the best beach, Waliea and some of the best food trucks in the area. Close to the airport and the infamous Costco Maui. On site management is also super friendly too, could not recommend this place more, we had an amazing trip!

Great location if you want to walk to restaurants, bars, beach, snorkelling, tennis courts, skate park, beach volleyball nets etc. We selected this location because we brought our 27 year old daughter who enjoys the night life and large crowds of younger people . I selected this location only because I like to do open water, long distance swim training in safe ocean conditions. My husband & I travel to Maui regularly and would likely not stay in Kīhei next time because it is too busy and noisy for us. We prefer more remote quiet locations with easy access to good road cycling routes. This rental unit was perfect for our daughter and was good value for your money. Also, the beaches here have the best sun sets on the island in my opinion. You could easily get by without a rental car here as so many things are within walking distance.

Great location with the beach close by, restaurants nearby (recommend Fred's) and so many things to do nearby. If your Canadian you will feel right at home but if your not what better people to make you feel at home.

Place was great. Cost in Maui rentals is very high. Would love to see better pricing. It was the norm for the area. So not likely to get much better for a while. Lovely stay.

The location is perfectly close to the beach. They had beach chairs, a cooler and an umbrella. They were fairly quick to respond to an issue with the door and when we needed a blanket for the sleeper sofa. Pleasant staff other than the girl at the front desk although I believe she works for the building, not Vacation Maui. Very clean. Would stay again!

Though an older property it has been well maintained and had all the amenities we required. Location is great; across the street from the beach and walking distance to several restaurants. The property management firm was quick to respond to inquiries. Only negative we had was the mattress. It’s definitely in need of replacement.

Note: Vacancy calendar is approximate. Visit the owner/manager's reservation site to verify your dates.
