We loved every second at this condo! It was equipped with everything anyone could need! It was an amazing location and the view was incredible! Thank you for everything!!

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.

The condo was perfect for our stay in Kehei! Right on the beach, easy walk to restaurants and to get groceries. We saw turtles swimming and resting on shore and experienced amazing sunsets! Condo was super clean and decor was beach perfection! Highly recommend!!!

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.

We enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waves and watching sunsets. Any type of beach equipment you might need is available at the condo.

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

The place was nice and you couldn't beat the views. Joe the property manager was wonderful. We found out that we needed to stay another night and he found a place in the same complex 4 doors down.
We would recommend this place!

Usually I will just leave a rating and not elaborate with a writeup. But this was different and deserves a full review.
As it turns out I've had to shorten this as there is a space limit.
I travelled with my 14 y/o daughter.
Joe & Roopa do/did everything to make your trip the best it can be. Answering Qs before you book and during your trip to make you as comfortable as can be. This was a constant and made the trip perfect.
The kitchen had everything I could have needed to cook/ prepare/present/clean with. It was great not having to eat out and was a nice break even fo my teen. It was amongst our favorite times. 2 nice big shared BBQs on site. W/D w/ digital payment on main level. Used 3X and was perfect for us. Pool.
The unit is in a perfect location for those wanting something quiet RIGHT on the beach. Perfect sunsets. Gets windy sometimes in the PM so the sunsets are just as perfect from the terrific lanai. So are the breakfasts btw.
Comfortable sofa & bed. Clean. Fresh & modern. AC in living room by sofa/bed, large ceiling fan in bedroom at the front of the unit. Even with the door closed sleeping in the bedroom was very comfortable.
The unit comes with 4 beach chairs, umbrella, beach mats, lots of beach towels, snorkelling gear, beach toys, cloth beach/grocery bags. Bushnell binoculars to see the turtles and or whales, eagle rays (depending on the season).
I ran out of space anyway..our experience could not have been better. I would go back anytime.
Thanks R&J!!

This was the perfect home base for our Maui adventure. The condo had absolutely everything we needed and the view was outstanding. The location was perfect for our daily activities all around the island. I cannot recommend this property enough!

A condo on the third floor. Has everything you may need for your stay. Plus walking distance to many of the great restaurants & markets there. We loved it there at this condo. But the view was breathtaking & the beach was just enough. Haha I can hardly wait to come back for my next stay. Love it.

We found this place to be clean and the location was great. The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were also a big deal for us (kids could have their own room/bathroom). The pool is right off the lanai so it was very convenient for the kids to use and it was not too busy during our stay. The beach was nice and we saw some turtles in the water just off of the beach a little to the North. The sunsets are amazing and people gather at the beach to watch it.
Access was great - you can go out Lipoa St to a light to turn left (north) onto Kihei Rd if needed or just a few blocks south to a lot of other restaurants, shopping, and beaches. It is also walking distance to a grocery store for supplies and Nalu's, which is a great breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant (tip - find the rear access to the Azeka strip mall and you can walk right to Nalu's in about 2 minutes).
There is also a cooler and some water toys in the 2nd bedroom closet (we left some water noodles, masks, and snorkels that we could not fit into our luggage).
You may see some homeless people periodically near this complex, but I think that may happen anywhere in Kihei. It was not a big deal. (Not bashing Kihei - this was our 2nd time to Kihei and we love it and will return again.)
Overall, my entire family loved the place. If you are thinking about booking this place based on the cleanliness, location, and many nearby restaurants and activities, you will not be disappointed.

This Condo was surprisingly available at the last minute. We were so lucky to have such a place for our family. (This is a perfect place for a family of 3.) It is right on the beach and the swimming pool was just steps from our door. The location is good with Safeway, the ABC Store, and our new favorite place to eat "Cool Cats" (kind of like a 50s diner that has almost everything anyone can eat) all within a mile. The condo itself is very clean and a great air conditioning system in the living room and bedroom. As far as things to take to the beach there were plenty! Beach chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella, Coolers, and more. Thank you so much Joe for being a great host and Easy to communicate with. This is a perfect place for a family of 3.

During our nine night stay, the view from the living room of the palms swaying and the ocean was mesmerizing. Beautifully decorated with comfortable bed. The property was quiet. Easy parking. Wi-fi speed was super fast for some "work" things we had to do while there. The unit had a clothes steamer to use for our wedding attire in the bathroom closet. The beach chairs located on the patio were great for beach days. Would stay at Joe's place again in a heartbeat! Loved it.

The unit is well decorated making is super cozy. It had everything we needed. The AC was great, and I hate to be hot so that was a pleasant surprise. The extra beach toys on the balcony were so appreciated. Boogey boards, chairs, plenty of digging stuff for kids and more! The absolute best part is the view. I've stayed a lot of places on Maui. Four Seasons, Westin, etc and NONE of their views compare. The turtles coming up for air is so cool to see. We stayed out past sunset one evening and saw 11 sea turtles come out to go to sleep.

Condo was incredibly well equipped-I would have to think hard to come up with something I needed that was not there. Condo clean and updated. Staff onsite to assist with any issues- we had none. Lovely view and seemingly private beach access. Water shallow and rocky there, but turtles came onto beach nightly. Sunsets beautiful. Centrally located to do anything on the island. Neighborhood a little sketch around the corner, but not enough to be concerned. Would certainly recommend this condo!

We had an amazing stay at this beautifully updated condo. It was just as advertised and more. There were chocolate chip cookies when we arrived and the bathroom had an assortment of sunscreen, insect repellent, and a first aid kit. We enjoyed having the beach access right in front and the pool, plus the view of the ocean and the relaxing sound of the waves everyday. We highly recommend staying here if you’re planning a vacation in Maui!

Hale Kai o'Kihei's location, in our opinion, cannot be beat!
And Roopa and Joe have decorated and supplied their condo beautifully. We do almost all of our own meal prep, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to fix our meals to enjoy on the lanai, which has such a gorgeous, uninterupted view of Molokini, Kahoolawe, Lanai, and Maui.
Another bonus: Roopa was very prompt and thorough about answering any questions we had.
We look forward to returning and staying longer next time!

We were so impressed as soon as we stepped into this property! An amazing view of the ocean, and the perfect spot in Kihei! We spent many mornings on the lanai drinking our coffee and seeing the turtles go back to their ocean homes. We were able to get around the island to Black Rock Beach for cliff jumping and snorkeling, the Road to Hana, visiting many local beaches and loved the luau at Gilligans (just 5 minutes away!) Thank you for making our 20th wedding anniversary trip one to remember!

The residence is as listed. Contact is with the management company, not owner. The one negative, are a local population of about 5 homeless, who have a semi-permanent hangout on the actual property grounds, just to the condo building adjacent. We had a ground floor, and daily several homeless persons would either use the grounds sprinkler in front of our room, or end up cutting through the condo's insecure entrances to the beach access. This was fine, except there was one member who had significant mental illness that would walk immediately in front of our condo at breakfast time, often swinging a stick etc. The other was another who would get up, and relieve themselves in the bushes where there are obviously children in the pool. I will send the condo management a recommendation email, but it is obviously not monitored by them. Just keep this in mind, that there are no efforts currently to deal with this as their security is a single person who is not discouraging either the permanent presence, or behaviors as mentioned above. Other than this, everything was great in terms of the actual condo. It is very quiet at night, and for the money paid, the location can not be beat.

The setting was awesome. Condo was complete with well stocked kitchen. It is getting a bit run down and could use some fresh paint. Floors needed to be mopped. If walking barefoot, feet got pretty dirty. Really appreciated all the ice and ice trays provided.
