Small but cozy and quaint. Right on the beach. The host was thoughtful and communicative.

The accommodations and view were exceptional! Cook, do dishes, make cocktails while looking at the grass, beach and ocean beyond! Then take a long walk on a beautiful, pillow soft strip of beach front! Centrally located from the airport and with short drives to Paia (and Hana beyond), or south Wailea/Makena way, or West to Kaanapali, Napili and beyond! We loved everything about our stay and will do our best to plan around another stay at this location!

Beach is good but water is not clear.
Property was clean, received welcome package which was very nice.
Good communication for any issues we encountered.
High cleaning fees for such a small property, they should be much less.
Central location allowing you to go anywhere on Maui
Overall still very good property, would recommend

Great, beach front condo that is well stocked and ready to support a great trip. Unit had beach toys, chairs, bogey boards, and everything we needed. Beach in front of condo was great for snorkeling, bogey boarding, swimming, or just relaxing.

This property is so convenient for everything. Feels like a private beach. Everything the host has listed is spot on!
We love the coziness, listening to the waves crash at night, the wildlife and roosters from the nearby wildlife refuge…
We found this time that we could walk the beach to a farmer’s market, ABC store, and a little further for more things.
Short drive to Maui Aquarium and Tante’s restaurant…and to the heart of Kihei, Kihei Caffe (must have coconut/pineapple/banana/macadamia nut pancakes), and Coconut's for the best island fish tacos.
Thank you, Lydia, for being flexible with check in and so helpful.
Until we stay again…

As a longtime visitor to Maui, I always relish he chance to return. I grew up vacationing on Sugar Beach when there were very few condo complexes (Think early '70s). It was good to be back and away from the hustle and bustle. Most mornings, I was the only person on the beach! The beach is perfect for smaller children as the sand is great for building castles and the water is usually very calm. The complex itself is quiet and well situated to go anywhere on the island. This was a solo-recharge trip for me... absolutely the right choice. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Management checked in with me after my arrival and again once I returned home. The condo was well appointed and had everything I needed. 10/10 recommend.

My wife and I were looking for a low-key, jumping-off point to reach all parts of Maui for our 6 day stay and this place did not disappoint. We really enjoyed our stay in this little studio. It was very well stocked with all you would need - towels, linens, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, etc. Having beach chairs, a cooler, an umbrella and even a boogie board to throw in the car for our daily jaunts was fantastic. The full sized murphy bed was comfy and while we didn't watch any TV while we were there, it was nice to have the option. We looked forward to breakfasts out on the lanai in the morning while looking over the lawn and watching the water out to the left. And each night walking along the beach after sunset was beautiful.
A few little nitpicks - while the place did not feel dirty, the bathroom and kitchenette windows were a little cruddy and the washer/dryer unit has maybe seen it's day as it was not very effective in cleaning our clothes. Also, the sink disposal unit was not working (we do not use a disposal at home so it was no big deal but instructions on how to use it were provided so we tried and found it not to be working).
If you know what to expect when you arrive here, then you'll be perfectly happy with the accommodations. We were and would stay again the next time we are in Maui.

Love this place! You can see and hear the waves rolling in from every room. The furnishings are great, kitchen is fully stocked, including the milk frother, yeah! There were plenty of spices, coffee filters and such when we were there (not a stocked item). There was enough laundry detergent, dishwasher soap and cleaning supplies to last our 2 week stay. The closet has lots of pool and beach toys...chairs, sandcastle supplies, pool noodles, boogie boards, etc The views are unmatched, especially during whale season, see them from the lanai. You pass the pool as you walk the few steps to the beach. It’s the last condo on the Sugar Beach strip, and has miles of walking. A short walk in the other direction is the farmers market for fresh wood, and a bakery for mornings. The elevator is nice when you have groceries, and reserved parking is convenient. (Note: no EV chargers). Island location is perfect too, easy access to all the activities...Haleakala, Hana, Iao, Ka’anapali, even Costco ;)

Once again, we had a very relaxing stay at Kealia. The unit was nicely updated and very clean and comfortable. At Kealia, we especially enjoy the very nice lawns and the nearness of the beach and the noise of the waves. All in all, a very nice getaway.

Fabulous well appointed condo with easy access to airport and island destinations. Terrific private lanai to enjoy ocean views from sunrise to sunset. Beach is walkable for miles in either direction. Hosts are incredibly thoughtful and generous. Communication was responsive. Check in directions were clear and easy to follow. Late check out to accommodate a late flight was much appreciated.

We had a fabulous time at your resort! The location was perfect and we never had to find another beach. The condo itself was very nice and very comfortable. It had everything we needed, except a cutting board.There were lots of small flying weird bugs, annoying. And I’m certain we had termites. No problem at all for us, but you’ll need to check them out. We will be coming back for sure so I hope the spot doesn’t get TOO popular! Thanks!

We stayed 5 nights here and, although small, the condo had everything we needed plus some. Owners left a lovely note and a snack basket of specialty Maui snacks and coffee. Such a nice touch. Actual building is a bit older. But the condo had nice comfy furniture and updated appliances including a washer and dryer in the unit. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, especially during sunset. Communication with owners was friendly and prompt. We would stay here again if we visit Maui.

Based off of the pictures online I was not expecting the view that we got. Amazing oceanfront view from the top floor with a beautiful panorama of the bay. Apartment was clean and well stocked with cookware and dining ware for making or eating meals in the suite. Property representatives were respectful and answered any questions as well as offered suggestions for places to eat and enjoy the day.Definitely on my list to stay here when I come back.

Our stay in this unit wasn't our first stay at Kealia, so we definitely came into it with an idea of what to expect of the property and the area. As always, the property always outdoes our memory of it. The beach is steps away from the building. There's a pair of huge lawns to hang-out and for kids to play in (one of which has plenty of shade even for the midday or afternoon sun.
The unit as a whole was clean and stocked well enough. It's got plenty of dishes, utensils, and the owner even provides a bit of a starter kit for anyone staying there (paper towels, toilet paper, laundry supplies, dish soap, etc).
The view from the balcony is great! Breakfast out there in the morning with the sound of waves crashing against the beach is just the best feeling. You can even watch the sun set from the balcony (at least during our stay)!
There really isn't much to complain about from our trip other than (as always) it was entirely too short. We'd definitely stay in this unit again in the future if presented the opportunity.
Thank you Gage and Andrew!

This is the most beautiful location and RIGHT on the beach. Hearing the ocean throughout the night is amazing!! The only downside is the second room gets warm. We set up fans to blow into there but it was much warmer without an AC. You cannot beat the views or this place. It really feels like a home and has EVERYTHING you need. The beach is empty here and a fun place to walk and play.

We LOVED this spot! The pictures are spot on, we practically lived out on this balcony and on this beach. The location is great and around tons of other beaches and great food spots and shave ice as well. We traveled around to the other beaches but there was kind of no point because this beach was so quiet and private and even shaded in spots do you dont need an umbrella. I swam multiple times here because the waters were so warm and inviting. I've already recommended this condo to multiple friends and family.

This location was perfect for us. The resort is steps away from the beach where we walked and swam every morning. You can walk for miles up the white sand beach. Water in front of the condo is calm so swimming or boarding is great. The property was very clean and had recently been updated with new appliances and a king size bed. The manager, Sherry was great as she is very accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay in #309. We didn't hear our neighbors next door, above, or below. I love that the unit is a corner unit and that you can hear the waves crashing when the lanai door is open. You do get some road noise but it's not overpowering. The unit was a clean, bed was firm and comfortable, and amenities were adequate. The grounds were clean and maintained, loved the pool and the yard overlooking the water. Proximity is central to just about anything on the island. We loved that we weren't isolated to one corner of the island. Everything was within a 30-40 minute drive. It was a great stay, we would happily come back and stay here again.

I originally reserved this room for 10 nights but I had to ask for relocation due to the overwhelming number of bugs-- about 1 inch size huge ants with wings. I vacuumed all of them (45 of them at least) and contacted the property management and sent them the pictures and videos of those. The management team quickly relocated us, which was awesome.
This property's view was awesome but all the windows and its rails were too dirty, so I never felt like opening them. It's such a waste of nice view, by not to cleaning behind blinds. Sorry, but I can not recommend this place. I appreciated the Ali Resort for relocating us so quickly.

The apartment was perfect for a short weekend event we had in Kihei. We never touched the kitchen, as a matter-of-fact, the surprise visit we had from a refrigerator repair man probably used it more than us. And other than that, we don't have any complaints. It was a comfortable, cute, place to stay.
