Stunning! I love everything about this condo. First and foremost are the furnishings, absolutely beautiful with a very well appointed kitchen to cook for your family. The sunset views are perfect every night and then it’s a very short walk to dozens of restaurants.

The property is awesome. Many restaurants, shops, markets and cafes are within a 5-10 min walk. The beach is literally your back yard. Unobstructed views (except by palm trees) of the ocean and lots of room to just relax on the grass or on the beach itself.
Beach area isnt super busy like the others in the Wailea / Kihei border area. I even saw honu lounging on the beach.

Place is exactly as shown. Beach and amazing view from your own balcony is perfect every morning and every evening. With that in front of you and a short walk to 30-40 places to get any kind of food you want, each breakfast and dinner can be had with a spectacular, peaceful, quiet view. Turtles abound steps away from the unit. Clean & modern inside. Highly recommend.

The view of the beach right of the balcony/patio is beautiful!! My husband and I loved sitting out there just taking in the view. The condo is beautiful and thankfully air conditionerd. Joe is a great owner, thinking of everything you might need for your visit. We woukd most definitely stay here again in a heartbeat! The only thing I can say anyway negative is the way he list the laundry , I thought it was only coin operated. No there is a stackable in the condo. Joe thank you so much for your hospitality and letting us visit your beautiful property!! I hope we can return and visit again!

We traveled all around Maui and saw many places where we could have stayed. This place is small and quiet but the best part is that it is actually on the beach. One doesn't have to drive or walk across streets to play in the ocean. Beautiful!
The place was perfectly provisioned. There were items for our use that we hadn't known we'd need. It took us a day to figure out which controls went with what lights/fans/etc.
One issue: the A/C unit could use an update --- the one in the condo barely did any cooling.
But, again, this is probably as close to perfect for us -- it fit nicely into our budget too.

The unit was very nice, with an excellent updated kitchen and bathroom. It has great access to the beach and the perfect place to watch the amazing Maui sunsets. Unit was stocked with everything you might need. There is a bit of road noise from the bedroom when windows are open.

We arrived 2 hours after designated check in and the unit was littered with cleaning supplies and was not clean.
Bed wasn’t cleaned or made, dishwasher full, mop on the floor and mop bucket full of dirty water. Entire kitchen island with cleaning supplies and someone else’s things.
Manager offered a separate property to stay in that night, however we would have had to move back to this unit for our second night.
Didn’t feel comfortable going to a second location. Ended up canceling and booking a hotel. Very inconvenient and unprofessional start to a once in a lifetime vacation.
The location is beautiful and I was highly disappointed to walk into a clearly not ready unit that property manager wouldn’t have ready until the following day.
Will likely consider hotels over VRBO in the future due to inconsistent availability. At least I know a hotel room will be clean and that they will accommodate in a safe way if anything is out of place.

We loved our stay! The view was unbeatable, we spent most mornings and evenings on the lanai. The unit was very clean and had many essentials that got us through the week. We loved the location. The only thing lacking was water pressure in the shower. Would recommend this unit and would love to stay here again if we return to Maui.

Was a great unit and nicely renovated. No elevator which was ok. Front door had jalousies. Would be nice to have a window covering from more privacy since the bedroom is adjacent to the front door. The shower sprayer was great but a little high. my wife is short and could not replace it. Had a good stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit is updated with plenty of amenities. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t already there for us. There was a slight hiccup at check in when the door code didn’t work, but a quick call to Joe got us a new code. Beautiful location right on the beach. The property’s washer and dryer take credit/debit cards. Be aware that the washers don’t seem to have hot water. The A/C works wonderfully, which is great for those of us from the Pacific Northwest. We would be happy to stay here again in the future.

This rental was very clean upon arrival and was the perfect stay for our 3 nights in Kihei. The location was very convenient to other shops/restaurants, and the ocean being steps away was, of course, the best part.

We had an AMAZING TIME!!! The condo was exactly as described. We were able to visit every party of Maui during our stay. Good, entertainment, shopping, the people. It was exactly what we'd hoped. Being right on the beach seeing the sea turtles was one of the highlights of our stay! Thank you for being an amazing host!

Joe and Jamie’s condo was perfect! Two of us stayed for a week and it was very clean, full kitchen, great location, quiet and most importantly, the view was amazing and just steps to the sand and ocean.

We specifically picked this unit for its modern and updated look. We stayed here for 7 nights and it did not disappoint. It was clean and functional, and I greatly appreciated the in-unit washer/dryer. Being steps from the ocean was a huge perk as well.

This is a great location in Kihei. Very convenient to everything. The turtles can be found if you walk down the beach late afternoon just about every day. The condo is well stocked with everything you might need in the kitchen and for the beach. This was the second time I stayed there and I highly recommend it. Owner is great to work with.

The one bedroom condo was very well equipped, clean, modern and lots of beach equipment available to use. The views are amazing in the mornings and at sunset. We saw turtles on the beach several mornings when we went for walks. There is a grocery store within walking distance as well as a couple of restaurants, as well as tons of restaurants close by.
We actually ended up sleeping on the fold out couch several nights so we could hear the ocean sounds while watching TV and would fall asleep on it. It was very comfortable.
Joe was great to communicate with and quick to respond and it was a nice treat to arrive to some cookies.
There are some considerations regarding any of the condos at Hale Kai O Kihei.
- The exterior to the condos opens directly into the bedroom so any and all noise outside can easily be heard. We were awoken one night with a couple arguing out in the parking lot swearing at each other.
- The condo is next to the stairwell so you will hear people coming and going (and their suitcases) from your bedroom even though there are signs all over noting the quiet hours. It is just hard to roll suitcases (or carry them up or down the stairs) without some noise. You will just hear it because the entrance of the condo is the bedroom.
- The water pressure in the shower is not great. There is a dual shower head, but even when you switch it to using one of them, it is weak.
That said, you can't beat the views and it is worth it!

The property was immaculate and pictures were accurate. The view is better in person and you can watch the sunset from the lanai. Excellent communication with property manager, and close to the Kihei food trucks. Would definitely stay again!

Joe is super responsive and personable. The condo is exactly as described (or better). There is an in unit washer dryer that is not coin operated. The place is clean and has all the amenities! The design is thoughtful and above average. On the beach right out front, we saw turtles daily and even an eagle ray one day. Parking is easy. Couldn’t have asked for a better place.

CLEAN condo with a comfortable king sized bed and a pullout bed. We loved having a grassy area between us and the beach but still be steps from the sands. Gorgeous sunsets, turtles on the beach, close to restaurants. It really was a perfect location. We had a question while staying there and the owner responded immediately.

This was our first trip to Maui and we definitely lucked out with a stay at Joe’s Kihei unit. Wonderful decor, well stocked, thoughtful touches, a VIEW to remember, nearby restaurants and stores, great communication, quiet building, refreshing pool (small but very nice), great AC, clean.

We loved staying here! The view was spectacular and the location was great - close to a supermarket and restaurants, as well as an easy drive to most places on Maui. Especially good though, was the proximity to the beach - early morning swims every day while the winds are low and turtles galore! My kiddo loved using the pool everyday and has decided she wants to live here permanently :)
Beds were comfy, kitchen had all we needed, and all supplies we needed for the beach were right there. Communication with the property manager was easy. We would happily stay here again on our next visit to Maui.

This was a mother-daughter trip with my 16 year old. We absolutely loved our stay! The condo is exactly as described. It’s so appreciated when owners post accurate info. The place was immaculately clean and tidy. Every drawer is super well organized making it so easy to find what you are looking for. The location is perfect : right on a beautiful beach, couple minutes walk from grocery, shops and restaurants. If you plan on visiting the numerous sites of Maui like we did, I feel this is an ideal location. We are delighted with our stay and leave with incredible memories and a heart full of gratitude.

Honestly might be my favorite place I ever stayed. Me and my wife did a couple nights during our honeymoon and we were able to travel the whole island as well as eat out in town every night and come home to an amazing sunset. Highly recommend
