Overall it’s a really nice property close to the beach

Rachel had everything we needed and more! Lovely location right by the beach, we will stay here again.

The condo is beautiful, excellent location near the beach, near restaurants and food trucks. The only downside is the condo is on 4th floor, there is elevator but located at the other side of the unit. The property manager responded quick for questions. I recommend this place.

Great location. We have stayed in this area for years. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. We were able to check in early also and there were chairs and a cooler for the beach. The air conditioners in each room were very nice. The only thing we would like to change in the room would be it would be nice if there was a K Cup coffee brewer. For us it’s just cleaner, easier and faster than waiting for a whole pot of coffee to brew. And less waste.

The place was very good and we would stay here again. Having air conditioners in every room was convenient and the kitchen was well stocked. Location was great with many stores and restaurants within a 10 minute drive. There were a couple issues: the wifi instructions were incorrect and we were without wifi for the first day and the bathtub faucet broke so we were without use of one shower for a day. However, they were fixed the following days and the property manager was responsive although I had to leave messages and wait for return calls each time. Nothing major that made our stay bad, but I did want to provide examples of inevitable issues that arise with rentals and responses. I look forward to hopefully staying again in the future.

Place was beautiful and well stocked with most things you could need during a stay in Kihei/on Maui. The owners give you a lot of information, tips, tricks, and even discounts at stores/shops where they can! 10/10 would recommend!

Check in process was seamless which was great after a long day of travel. Proximity to Kam 1 was perfect. Pool area and hot tub are excellent! Property was great, kitchen was stocked with what we required. New appliances. AC worked great in all rooms. Stayed here as 2 adults and 2 kids 3 and under. The unit was close to the only elevator which was super helpful with a stroller! Would prefer flooring throughout without carpets in the bedroom but that's the only drawback. Would stay here again.

Condo is in great location for shopping and beach. Air conditioners is main room and living room didn't seem to blow air. Despite that, would definately rent this condo again!

This is my second time at this beautiful condo in Maui. Our host generously welcomed us with a beautiful fruit basket. The location is conveniently located in the heart of Kihei with many shops and eateries. The condo is fully stocked with all the items, such as beach towels to all the essentials. I will definitely recommend this condo to anyone, and will be staying everytime we visit Maui. MAHALO, Josh and Christi!!!!

We loved everything about this property! Close walk to everything….beaches, stores, restaurants and more. It is also in the middle point so can be easily traveled to Lahaina and Wailea. The unit is conveniently located in the back near the parking where there is an elevator and trash chute as well as recycling. The pool is a little away but works out due to noise level from the pool area. The settings on the AC unit remotes challenged us but property mgmt and the host assisted in no time and the 3 zone ACs saved our family from arguments(too hot, too cold). The condo also provided boogie boards, sand toys, coolers, chairs which was great and cost savings. Would definitely stay here again when returning to Maui.

Spent 9 days in Kihei and the location of this Condo could not be any better. Steps from the beach and the small plaza next door was extremely convenient. It was hot while we stayed and the air conditioning worked great. Condo has everything you need for an extended stay and had no issues finding parking every day in the lower lot closest to the condo. Boogie boards, coolers, chairs and wagon were a great add on for all the beach days and nothing is too far from this location.

Great spot. Parking right infront and we loved everything about the unit. Close to trash, pool shops and beach. First unit in the complex on the ground level was added convenience for our stay. Instructions for parking and check in are super easy. The condo complex is beautiful and well cared for. Our host was easy to reach with questions and helpful during our booking and stay. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit the island.

The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Check-in was easy. The location was amazing and SO close to a lot of places to eat, swim, shop etc… it was a great launching off spot to get to other towns on Maui via rental car. Thanks Josh & Christi!

I booked this location over another in the same complex. Echoing other reviews, the AC doesn’t reach the bedroom, but even in July, once the sun goes down, opening all the doors and windows will keep the unit cool. Use the curtains to cover the windows and it’ll also keep the unit cooler. This complex is older, and there’s a ton of steps. To get to the unit using the elevator, it’s 6-8 steps to the elevator then about 2 sets of 6-8 steps, which adds up at the end of the day. Parking in the lower lot is almost non existent. The pool is good, though there are some missing tiles in the jacuzzi (outside of this owners control). On the unit itself, there’s a ton of mirrors which make the unit look and feel bigger. The bed in the master is extremely firm. There’s a lot of amenities including snorkel gear, chairs, a cooler. The shower is modern and up to date with a low flow toilet (the plunger is under the sink, in a bag). There was an issue with the electrical while we were there and the owner/manager was extremely responsive, but there were two different individuals who entered the unit with our consent (maintenance, then electrician). We also notified them that the unit ran out of trash bags and paper towels. There was no sponge for pre-washing dishes, but there’s a dish washer in unit - so it’s a small issue.

Nicole went above and beyond. We had a rocky start because I was overtired when arrived and mixed up check in instructions. Even though it was mid evening for her, she calmed me down and walked us through it. Location is great for what we wanted to do. Seemed like less than 39 minutes to anywhere except for HANA. ;)

We stayed here for 6 weeks and really enjoyed it. Condo is so close to the most beautiful beach on Maui. Very easy to walk to restaurants and beach, the best sunsets you will ever see.

We enjoyed our little home away from home. I had with me my mom (77) and 2 kids (14 & 17). The beds were big enough for my mom and I to share without even getting close to one another. One kid slept in the other bed while the other kid slept on the pull-out sofa, which was very big and comfy. Although, when the sofa was not in bed mode, the cushions where very stained and kinda disgusting. I kept a sheet over them when in use. There were 3 separate A/C units which kept the place cool and comfy as well. My only suggestion is bring your own shampoo/conditioner, laundry soap, and trash bags. We stayed a week and the website states they include all of that. But it's very limited. They left us 3 trash bags, but want us to take out the trash daily. The toiletries are hotel samples. Definitely not enough for a week with 3 women and their long hair. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our little condo for the week.

We loved our stay at the Kihei Alli Kai Condo complex. The condo is so clean and quiet and so convenient. It is a 5 minute walk to one of the best beaches in Kihei, Kamoale I and it is just a bit further to walk to II and III for snorkeling. There are also lots of shops and restaurants that you can walk to from the condo. The condo had a great selection of beach gear for our use-chairs, snorkel gear (we brought our own thought), umbrellas and boogie boards. Our teenage son loved using the boogie boards at the beach in the afternoon. The pool was heated and we went for a swim in the pool and jacuzzi every night. And the sofabed in the living room was very comfortable and the lanai was perfect for bird watching.

Clean and close to the beach. Lots of steps so get your exercises in but that’s ok. Comfortable for families and highly recommend

The best thing about this unit is its location. It is close to a beautiful beach with plenty of shopping, restaurants, etc, around and the sunset is to die for. I would recommend the food truck park not far from there and definitely the Cones at Kihei for dessert. The unit seemed small at first when you walk in, but in a bit you realize there’s enough room for all. The couch could be cleaner, and turns into an extra bed. We were a bit alarmed to see some paint cans in the secondary bedroom closet. Is that safe lol? No other issues with the unit and was comfy. The kids liked that it was right next to pickleball and the swimming pool wasn’t far. You could walk to the beach, but if you are carrying a lot of stuff, it’s easier to drive to the road and park (free and easy to find a spot). I liked the unit was close to the rear parking. But do park only at the open uncovered spots and fill out the parking form. I saw another car get a ticket. The host says she allows late checkout for 75$ if no one’s checking in, but when we asked more than a week in advance, she could not allow it because the cleaners didn’t want to come at a later time. She let us checkout at noon for $60, which helped too, since everyone was dead tired after our road to Hana drive the previous day. Also, the wifi had changed and we couldn’t find out what it was till the next day. All these are tiny issues, but just wanted to put it out there. Overall we liked it and highly recommend this place.

July 2024

Really enjoyed the place, location was a block from the beach and right above some good food and groceries. Place gets hot quick but some open windows or AC help a lot.

This condo is in a great location near the beach and close to all the food you can eat. Honestly you could stay just here and have a great time. We did venture out, but found ourselves eating at nearby coconuts cafe most nights. Beware, if you have trouble with stairs this is not the place for you. There are a fair amount of steps to get to the parking lot and back. Although there are some shortcuts through the lawn areas. All the cooking tools and implements you could need are provided. My only critique is the kitchen knives were chipped and basically useless. Other than that we appreciated all the cookware. Overall the furnishings were nice, but the linens had some holes in them and we spotted a suspicious stain on the mattress cover. Also all the beach stuff you can think of was provided, this is incredibly convenient and a great touch. The nearby beach is perfect and not busy at all as the beach parking is quite far away. The surf is calm in the mornings and great for floating. We did have an issue with checking in where we had to reach out directly. Then with checking out as we didn't receive any details from the property managers until our penultimate day. But once we messaged them they were very quick to provide a detailed rundown of the property rules. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at KAK and plan on returning. The condo was very clean, with all the amenities needed for an awesome vacation. There were plenty of kitchen utensils, pots pans, etc. to make for an enjoyable stay. The only two things I would recommend are adding a small cooler/cooler bag and a fourth beach chair, as we had four people in our group. There was a large beach umbrella that we appreciated immensely. We hope to return, very soon!

Everything was smooth and great! Ronny is welcoming and accommodating. My mom and I had everything we could want for our stay in Kihei. We could walk to the beach and bring the chairs and umbrellas provided. Pool access was nice, AC units, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. Loved it! Only trouble was that there was only one snorkel mask and it was leaky. I didn’t both Ronny with this, although I’m sure he would have helped us out. Thanks again for a great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: When we first arrived on the island and followed directions to the rental it would have been helpful to know that we needed to turn left in front of Dolphin Plaza from S Kihei Rd, but other than that the condo was perfect for our family of 5. It was a great size, we had an amazing view from both lanai's. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and was in the perfect family friendly location and it was also convenient to walk to many locations along S Kihei Rd. There were wonderful restaurants close by and a wonderful beach was just across the street. We loved it, Mahalo!

My family and I loved our stay in Kehei. We appreciated the town, which is a nice escape from the big hotels that you find in other parts of Maui. We could walk to the beach, literally 2 blocks away, and the condo had plenty of beach supplies for any activity. There’s even a little grocery walking distance away so you can basically park your car and never have to drive, unless you want too. The apartment is great, with a nice porch to enjoy meals. Note, there is parking at the top of this hill as well as the bottom, which we didn’t figure out until a few days in.

Spent a week here with my family, we all loved it. Easily a 15 minute drive to anything in south Maui and only 25 minutes away from the airport and a few steps away from the elevator so we didn't have to carry bags up the steps. We loved that they had everything that we needed in the room, towels, washer snd dryer, beach equipment. Parking right by the room and the pool was only a short walk away. Would definitely recommend to stay here

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hi, We booked thru Rentals Maui and they went above and beyond to help us, they were amazing and I will 100% book with them again. If they will have me after this review!!! Here goes. I am a fit and healthy person. I was sick upon arrival though so that just added to the stress starting with it taking over an hour to even find B 307 as the complex is a maze and the map does not have every unit on it. Stairs. Lots of them. At least 4-5 sets and stairs to the elevator. That being said I am the person that actually always takes the stairs!!! Just not super sick and lugging suitcases and being lost. Good things about the condo once we found it(we also met a lost family totally frustrated with not able to find their condo either)the good:A fridge with ice and water dispensera washer and dryerthe bad:loud portable AC unit right at the head of the beda 2 hour timer on AC in the living room (who does this to paying guests?) (Rentals Maui fixed this to 4)I dunno wake up every few hours in sweat to turn it on otherwise?)Very dirty Lanai (no sitting on the furniture)broken and super dirty backpack chairs which are a MUST for getting to the beach. Again Rentals Maui hand delivered a new one on the beach( I actually feel badly about asking that, again, they were amazing and I was ssssooooo sick)The UglyNot much Hawaiian décor going on here. Beige and grey. And a drawer popping out of a TV unit like a poltergeist. I've stayed in lots condos. beach house etc. I realized that it really does add to a nice vacation feel and experience I also have not written a review before. Now for the ugly:maybe purchase some shower hooks that close completely and a rod that doesn't jam all the hooks that fall off/out every time someone gets in the showerAnd the owners only parking is ridiculous and stressful if you don't feel like walking another 1/4 mile If you are renting a condo to tourists, make it look great so they will love it
