Great location for me. Everything you need is local (food, beach, shopping), don't have to get in the car if you don't want to. Easy access to Maui route 31 for getting to other parts of Maui. Only thing I didn't find local was Hawaiian music (though could find some with a short drive)

Very short walk to Kam II beach as well as restaurants, bars, and shopping. It’s also very close to the pool.

A really lovely and homely place to stay in Maui! The location was incredible - the beach across the street was perfect for sunset viewing and swimming, and there were 2-3 others within 10-15 minutes of walking. The laundry on-site was convenient and clean (we went to the adjacent pool while waiting)! When we arrived, the area around the complex and the apartment did have a slightly wet, musty odor, but that completely went away the second day and never returned, so perhaps that was an anomaly. It was quite hot without the AC and fans on and it got warm at night, but it was manageable. Unfortunately the power was shut off for half a day during our stay for maintenance, but we booked an excursion so there was no problem :) Overall, would recommend! A great price for such a central location and apartment with everything you would need.

Do not waste your money and time .there are mouses in the apartment when we arrived the sheets were dirty and had poop mouse and shower bathroom mat carpet room were dirty too .if you want to enjoy a good time in a clean place this is the wrong choice.

The beach across the street was perfect for swimming and body surfing. A variety of places for a meal or snack was within easy walking. The condo had comfortable furniture including the bed and pull out sofa. The kitchen had everything needed to make meals. Good communication with owner regarding instructions and information. The keypad door lock was really helpful. We had a great time and would return!

My husband and I loved staying in this home for our honeymoon! The home was clean and well-put together. There was everything you needed for cooking in the kitchen. We loved the condo community as well. The staff on site were very friendly and welcoming. It is a quiet community. We never had any problem finding free parking, which was included when you booked the condo. Finally, we loved the location! The beach is right across the street, and more beaches are a short car ride away. Kihei is an ideal location for exploring South Maui! We recommend this home for your next vacation.

Our family of 6 (myself, spouse, our two young adult kids, and our two teenagers) had a wonderful time in this rental! Yes, it was tight, but we've been in smaller hotel rooms...it's all perspective and the location cannot be beat! Opening up all of the windows created an amazing breeze and using the patio as an extension of the place gave it a fun vibe. We really appreciated the washer/dryer in the unit and the availability of beach umbrella, chairs, and wagon. The beach really is right across the street (as well as shopping and eateries) and not having to find a parking spot daily to enjoy the beach makes this property worth every penny. We would absolutely stay here again!

The unit was very clean, comfortable and pleasantly updated. We had an event right next door -- at Penny's Pasta & Pizza, so we didn't even have to drive anywhere. I would definitely stay here again

We have stayed at this condo on numerous occasions and it never has disappointed. It is close to so many beaches, shops and great places to eat. From Kihei you can take a short trip or a day trip and see everything that Maui has to offer. We love it here and cannot wait to come back.

Had a great stay in Kehei here. There were a few things during the stay - but they were all easily manageable and didnt detract from our holiday. Super happy with the beach 'extras' - chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels!

This was the second year in a row we stayed in this lovely condo at Kihei Kai Nani. We were thrilled it was available. The grounds and amenities are top notch. The location is unbeatable. It feels like our second home.

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay in Maui and this was the perfect place for us. It was comfortable, in a great location, and provided everything we needed during our three week stay. Becky was accessible and welcoming, and we never had to contact her for anything as the condo had it all. We highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking for the best home away from home.

It is well maintained and feels secure. We enjoyed the convenient location especially to the pool and beach. The unit itself is tastefully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. It was very comfortable. Loved the lanai and ocean view! Loved having A/C. It was so smart having it on a timer.

I just stayed here for two weeks and loved it! This unit is decorated so beautifully! So visually appealing and filled with Hawaii style! The king size bed is co comfy and I truly loved having a/c in the bedroom at night. I went in June and really needed A/C then because the trade winds start slowing in June. Otherwise it's situated perfectly so it doesn't get direct sunlight in the unit. Helps keep it cool by just opening the front door and the lanai door and allowing the trade winds and fans to move the air. The condo had everything I needed and was just as described. And the owner was quick to respond to me. She even rescheduled the exterminator (yes, there are bugs in Hawaii so I did appreciate that there is an exterminator service) so it wasn't while I was staying there. 😁 This was my first stay in this unit... and my third time staying at Kihei Kai Nani. I love this location. It's so close to everything! I can walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery, and shops in just minutes. The pool is wonderful when the ocean is choppy or brown. The laundry room is also super easy and convenient. Even has soap for purchase and a change machine. I keep coming back here for all those reasons. And I would definitely stay here again! I highly recommend this unit! Thank you, Karen, for all the details you've added to the place. They just made the experience authentic for me!

We had a great visit in Kiehe. Karen’s condo was perfect. It had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable. Pool was awesome. We walked across the street to the beach for sunset every evening. We also walked to coconuts for fish tacos a couple of times - in the shopping center next door. Can’t wait to return!

June 2024

Overall this is a very good condo. Pros: Great star viewing from the spacious lanai, nice breezes to keep things cool, and when there isn't a breeze, the air conditioners cool the condo down somewhat. Excellent location, clean, and competitive pricing. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and there are plenty of beach chairs and towels for the beach. Good for a beach vacation. Cons: Although the major kitchen appliances look recently updated, the kitchen can fit only one person, and the counter top is very short. The in-window air conditioners struggle to keep the condo cool. The decor isn't beachy

Had a wonderful stay, this condo had everything you would need to have a great visit to Maui. To me the highlight is the location, great walking access to restaurants and a lovely grocery store and beaches. Would highly recommend for 2 people, I think potentially could be a bit snug for more than that but you could make it work! Great host, lovely place

This was the optimal place to stay. Spacious, great location, pool, amenities, great local spots/eateries/stores nearby, the beach right across and a great time. I would definitely stay here again.

Situated perfectly for access to Kihei beaches and dining, close to Wailea. AC unit keeps the kitchen/living area cool, bedroom was quite hot but a fan made it manageable to sleep at night. Had an issue with the unit on our 2nd day, and the management was very quick to respond and it was all fixed by the time we were back from the beach! All in all this listing is great and sets you up nicely for an awesome Maui vacation!

My wife and I brought our daughter for a senior trip. We loved the property right across the street from the beach. Shopping was close, traveling to activities was easy, and the host makes it feel like home. If we needed something, a cooler, Ziploc bags, snorkel gear, whatever else you can think of, there is a pretty good chance it was available on the property.

We loved our stay at Robert's condo at KKN. The property was lovely, clean and had all the amenities we could desire. The location and proximity to the beach was perfect. The balcony view and ocean breeze was delightful. I look forward to the opportunity to return. Thank you for a wonderful visit in Kihei.

I had a great time at Becky’s and John’s place. It’s strategically located. There is a beautiful and quiet beach just across the street. I loved they had beach chairs and umbrellas for you to use if you want to spend time at the beach. The apartment is perfectly equipped for a comfortable vacation : )

We have stayed in this complex many times over the last 20+ years and found this unit to be the cleanest, well equipped condo of all. We had a small maintenance issue and they were over in less than 2 hours and corrected the issue while we were out. We would definitely stay here again the the near future. Mahalo

I loved that this unit was located right across the street from the beach, and easy walking distance to several restaurants. The only complaint would be the huge roaches (which the property is pretty transparent about there being an abundance of bugs there on the island). It was a bit more than I anticipated and made it a little harder to feel relaxed. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

IMHO, you can’t beat Kai Nani’s location. The unit was perfectly functional, providing all the necessary accoutrements one needs for a beach vaca.

I have never stayed in such a well stocked beautifully decorated condo before. Not only is Karen’s condo tastefully decorated with that Hawaiian tropical vibe it is perfectly located on Maui’s best beaches. It also has everything you could possibly need. We have never been in such a well stocked rental as this. I’ve cold Aloe Vera in the fridge for those sun burns-beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, small cooler with ice packs-beach towels, shampoo and conditioner, condiments- you name it! The pool is beautiful and the grounds are so well kept. Her lanai is where we spent most of our evenings. The beaches across the road is where we lost count of all the sea turtles we’d see daily. They would come right into shore when the tide came in. We also saw dolphins breaching and slapping their tails a couple hundred yards off shore. This has been one of our best vacations! I would 100% recommend Karen’s condo to all my friends and relatives and we will surely be back again some day. Thank you also for your excellent communication-mahalo Karen!

The unit is great and as depicted. Well stocked with everything you need, quiet. We’ve stayed at the complex before and would definitely book this unit again. We love this area of Maui and had a great stay. Privacy curtains in the living room would be nice, especially for a ground level condo.

Melodie’s condo was in a perfect location - right across from the beach and a close walk to restaurants and shops. The condo was spacious and tidy and had all the supplies needed to cook meals. Melodie was great at communicating and made our stay a positive experience. Would definitely recommend this condo for your trip to Kihei!

This property was exactly as listed. The pictures are accurate, the bed is comfy and the lanai has a nice little ocean view. The location was perfect for my goal to walk the beach every morning with my coffee. Beach access is literally right across the road with the crosswalk right there at the property line. Casual pubs and dining and amenities shops are all easy walking distance. The unit has every little item you might need right down to things like a sewing kit. The owner is promptly responsive of you have any questions. The pool area is clean and quite nice for a quiet lounge and dip if you are all beached out. This condo was perfectly located for all the adventures we went on. Pretty much a 10-40min drive gets you anywhere you might want to go on the island (except Hana, of course). We were very satisfied with this booking!

May 2024

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: Our unit was clean and ready on time. We LOVED not having to worry about a key with the door code given. Even in the storm, 136 was bright and cozy. The safety bars in the shower made our lives easy. Location across from lovely pool was perfect. Rooster woke us before first light, but we didn;t mind at all.
