Hale Hui Kai, Maui

Hale Hui Kai is small beachfront condo complex on one of Maui's nicest beaches - Keawakapu beach. The layout of the complex is unusual in that units surround an interior atrium/walkway with bedrooms (except oceanfront units) facing inward toward the hallway. But the complex is small (only 40 units spanning 3-4 floors) and foot traffic from the hallway isn't an issue.

Unit numbers ending in 2,4,6,8 and 10 face south while unit numbers ending in 1,3,5,7 and 9 face north. Unit numbers ending in 11,12 and 13 face the ocean. All else being equal, south facing and oceanfront units are more desirable because they have better views, get more natural light, and are prone to less wind. Oceanfront units average about 1250 sq.ft. while the rest average about 850.

Hale Hui Kai Address: 2994 South Kihei Rd, Kihei, 96753

Recent Hale Hui Kai Reviews


Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Like many at the Hale Hui Kai, we are repeated visitors over many years. This was our first stay in #111 and what an incredible experience. We are a family of four (kids 1 & 2). The location on the lawn made for easy play space and quick visits to the beach. The views from the condo are simply top notch and easily some of the best in the area. It really feels like you're on the beach - which is a real benefit if you have little ones to mind. The condo is nicely appointed and updated while complimenting the 'old Hawaii' vibe which makes this a beloved complex. You can easily spend all day on the patio and lawn area while still feeling like you're on the beach in Maui. The complex was about half full during our stay, and could see how beach the beach access near #111 wouldn't be a great fit for someone looking for tons of privacy, but it's a great way for vacation conversations with other guests and hedges + tinted window offer more than enough retreat. We can't wait to return!

We loved the location, the “treehouse “ /aquarium feel of this complex! Renovated, beautiful and quiet! We snorkeled off the beach and enjoyed the quick walk to the ocean.. We hope to return:) This property would be perfect with new twin mattresses and high quality bath towels.

We had a wonderful family reunion of 13 people at this complex. We used three (3) condos. It is a great location and we particularly enjoyed the easy access to the beach, restaurants and the Maui Nui golf course for nine (9) holes of golf. In particular, we loved the "lanai" where we met every evening for sunset. It was beautiful. Condo 103 was ideal for part of the family - the two bedrooms were very comfortable and the fans and A/C kept the rooms cool. Don and Kim (owners) provided outstanding welcoming information as well as being very responsive throughout the process. Highly recommend this condo and this complex.

Such a lovely place to stay! The apartment is furnished with really cool retro furniture, making it feel a bit more special than a generic condo. The beach outside is fantastic and we often walked down to the left, at the end of the beach you can get onto the Wailea boardwalk taking you all the way down the coast. We had a small issue with the air con that was fixed immediately by the manager, really great communication. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay!

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was well-equipped and the location on the beach was great. We loved just being steps away and being able to use the chairs, umbrella and cooler during our stay.

This oceanfront condo was in a great location, close to shops and restaurants and steps from the beach. It was clean, beautifully furnished and stocked with everything we needed including all our beach needs. Christy was very responsive if we had questions or needed anything. We would stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was in great location in Maui. Access to beach was quick with pool adjacent to beach. Property needs to repair steps from pool area to beach as it needs repaired and could be difficult for young or old visitors. Condo itself needed some updates / repairs. Sliding glass door does not lock. Both doors locks need replaced or adjusted. Shower floor in bathroom attached to master bedroom needed cleaned or replaced. Hard water marks discolored floor. Dishwasher area problem when open found roaches several times. Lack of silverware in unit, 4 spoons., no knives to cut produce or other items. Need to add dishes as old and mismatched.

We stayed in room 106 from July 27-Aug 2, 2024. The location is great about 25 steps right to the ocean, there is no ocean view. This is a 3 story condo there are people above you and beside you. It is not the quietest place you will hear all your neighbors especially in the morning when everyone gets up. The place was clean but it was much smaller then the pictures show. The master room is very small with hardly any room to walk around, the guest room has the two twin beds and my teenagers said it was fine. The couch however does not pull out so that was a problem since there were 6 of us I had a 5 and 11 year old. only one person can really sleep there. The upside was it was like having a private beach as there really was no one there so not crowded at all. The building faces the west so there was a beautiful sunset every night. Just depends what you are looking for location was great but is a small place and loud at times.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Condo was very clean but could use a little updating in the Kitchen specifically. This was our 7th stay at this location but first in this unit. The lack of A/C was a little uncomfortable at times. Being on the first floor, it's impossible to leave the door open for the breeze to cool off the unit. The location of this unit is perfect with amazing views!

The unit and complex are a bit dated, but the location right on Keawakapu Beach is fantastic. The unit is in the back of the complex overlooking the dumpsters, parking lot and street rather than beach, so there isn't much of an ocean view -- just a narrow strip between the complex and house next door --- but the common lanai, pool, grounds and beach are only 100 or so steps away. We spent a lot of time lounging out there rather than on our own lanai. The unit's bedrooms are quite small, but the furniture is comfortable and in good condition, the kitchen is well equipped, and plenty of beach equipment (chairs, snorkel gear, toys, etc.) is provided. The property managers were in constant touch before and during our trip, and maintenance responded promptly to a couple of minor issues (toilets running, etc.) that cropped up. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay, and would happily return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It has been a view years since I have been to Maui and return to Hale Hui Kai. I discovered this condo and the beach of Keawakapu 15 years ago with my daughter and had a magical time. Once here, I discovered its visitors usually return annually and the locals come to this beach regularly. My first time to unit 304 and I truly hope to return. Such a beautiful unit with air conditioning and 2 comfy bedrooms. Everything you could possibly need at your finger tips. I experienced the deep Maui feeling of being rejuvenated and swam with the sea turtles. I cannot wait to return!!!!!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was clean, updated, and spacious. The view was great and the access to the beach was awesome. We used the beach chairs and umbrella. The complex had a front porch to sit by the beach and watch the sunset too! We were a little confused with the instructions about leaving towels/ bedding in the washer on the last day since we only had access to a public laundry rooom, but thought that might not be current.

Condo is located on a great beach good for kids and snorkeling. Beach never gets too crowded and there are plenty of options for food nearby. Condo was stocked with beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards for the kids which was nice.

What an amazing find! We will most definitely be coming back to stay in this place. The location is super easy to access Kihei and the highway. The beach here is beautiful and fun for all ages. The apartment is in a very well managed building with a cool design. The interior of the apartment is very comfortable, clean, and well equipped. I really miss sitting outside, sipping on a drink and watching the sun set. Or sitting outside, sipping on fresh coffee watching the calm morning ocean. Communication with the rental agency was always very prompt and they were even able to accommodate a last-minute extension due to a special circumstance. 10/10 would recommend!

This was a perfect location for our family to do many excursions incuding deepsea fishing, snorkeling tour to Molokini and a Luau, all less than 15 minutes away. It was also the perfect spot for just enjoying the beautiful beach right infront of the complex. The condo had everything we needed to cook in or bring food back and sit outside at the private patio. Another plus was it was also equipped with beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas!

We love the closness to the beach, the setting, the entire vive. And unit 104 is wonderfully air conditioned, and beautifully updated. Love that the master bath has been sectioned off from the master bedroom in this unit!

My family loves Hawaii and have been to different Hawaii islands 7 times in the last two years and this VRBO has been the one we have enjoyed the most. My son loves this place more than he loves Disney Aulani. The place is in a very convenient spot close to Kihei and Wailea. However, the best part is the ability to walk a few feet and touch sand. We will be back!

Fabulous beach front location. Had a bit of trouble getting in but management was SUPER responsive (like within 2minutes). Agree with some reviews that say a bit tired but pretty minor upgrades could address this (like maybe time to replace area rugs and service AC unit). No grill on property but well stocked kitchen with an amazing view!

The place was nice and well kept. The air conditioning was great. The view didn't face the ocean off the patio, but it's so close to the beach so you just have to go out and walk to the beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I always stay at Hale Hui Kai when I visit Maui. Love the location and 310 was clean and had everything you need. The day we arrived the air conditioner wasn’t working in the second bedroom, but they fixed it the next day. Because there isn’t any air conditioner in the living room it got really hot even with the sliders and front door were open. We had to get a fan from the manager to try and blow the hot air out, we weren’t getting any breeze. We stayed in 311 two years ago and didn’t have this problem. I am sure we will be back maybe not this unit; Hale Hui Kai has the best location.
