508 WAS GREAT!
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: 508 was amazing for our family of 4 - 1 bedroom but the loft bed was perfect for our two kids (age 7, 9). Loved that the suite came with beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear.. and the kitchen had everything we could need! We ate in a lot and lacked nothing! The lanai was great for morning coffee and always had shade. Whale watching was prime and the beach was better than all the beaches they tell you to visit in Maui!!

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: As a former owner at Kealia Resort we love coming back to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. There is nothing quite like the vibe of a small resort right on the ocean and having a 6 mile, un-crowded beach to walk on.Perhaps the only downside, and really nothing the resort has any control of are the encampments in the treed area along the beach. I am surprised that the county of Maui with all of the tourist money coming in hasn't done more to help the homeless and under-homed residents of Maui.

Needed a place to relax
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I came to Maui to help my son with a personal matter, (he has resided in Maui for the past 8 years and prior on Oahu for 2 years) this is approximately my 15th time to Maui. I always stay at vacation rentals, and am very familiar with both of our expectations. Loved the condo itself, offered a great location with an awesome view. Beds were comfortable, with adequate space, plenty of storage, 2 TVs, nice fridge, plenty of pots pans and dishes. Unit itself was perfect, management on the other hand was not. I checked in for a 13 day stay on a Saturday, so I didn’t speak to her til Monday when I checked in, she didn’t appear very friendly on my first impression. Next day I went to take a walk on the beach, walked past the woman I said good morning, slightly acknowledged, no mention of pest control coming in a couple hours. Tuesday I decided to finally go to pool (have been stressed out), I made it a point to read the many signs posted, especially pertaining to the pool, I noticed the lounge chairs were stacked in a pile, I brought down chair from the room, was at pool for 10 minutes on the phone with my husband, when management came up to me, the only person at pool to inform me I could not have my own chair, didn’t I notice other chairs stacked up, no socializing, hour limit and if I want to lay out “I could go to the beach”, both my husband and I were shocked at her lack of professionalism, I left right away, forget about relaxing. A couple days later my 3 grandkids were visiting us we went to the pool, now my second time there, and very quickly my 4year old granddaughter announced she had to go to bathroom, my son rushed her up 5 flights of stairs, less than 5 minutes after he returned, he was strictly told about mask wearing policy, we left pool and went to the room.I am very aware of mask wearing policy in HI, and I fully respect it, I seen several people going around with no mask, no problem. I always felt like I was being watche

A Comfortable Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We were lucky to get a week in 506 this year. We have stayed at the Kealia several times and management is always super helpful with any issues. This unit is clean and had everything we needed. The master bedroom's loft bed is handy for families, although the living room has a lot of furniture so it is quickly very cramped if you have more than 2 people. Overall another great stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We had a one bedroom apartment that was cozy and well stocked with most everything we could need. Located right on the beach, it was amazingly easy to enjoy our stay. Only hiccup was the elevator that broke down on the last few days we were there.

March vacation
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: The site was great. Room was beautifully equipped and decorated as well. Right on the beach and beautiful grounds. However not family/ children friendly. Arbitrarily new swimming pool rules put up to limit access for children under 18- with or without parental supervision. Most all kids love a pool regardless of ocean present. We were very unhappy about this. Feel we need to be compensated as limited kid activities 5 hours a day - supposedly so s few elderly people can watch a 10 minute sunset in quiet. Very disappointed. I would just alert vacation planner s to assure they are family kid friendly before reserving. Very disappointed.

Great Unit. Enjoyed having breakfast on the porch every morning. Centrally located making it a fast return back home after a long day driving around. Beautifully decorated. Great breeze through the unit, we didn’t use AC at all, slept with open windows listening to the Ocean.

Great experience
Beautiful views from the condo and lanai. The property was clean and it was amazing to be able to walk right down to the beach from the condo. The beach is clean and it’s nice that there is a shower near the pool to wash the water off. It is a great location as there were many restaurants and stores close by. I would definitely stay here again!

Smelled like an ashtray, unit was worn and run-down
We could not stand to be in the unit for more than about ten minutes before we had to leave with sore throats, stinging eyes, and coughing fits. I got a migraine from the stale smoke smell. The place reeked of cigarettes and there was a gross film on everything; there was no possible way we could have spent the night, let alone stayed there for the week we had reserved. In addition to the smell, the condo felt shabby and run down and we both got a creepy vibe from the building. No assistance of any kind was offered in trying to make things right.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been staying at the Kealia every other year, 2 weeks at a time, for many years. When you find something that you like, why change? Sherry and the crew are always very accommodating, the facility fits our style and there's not a prettier stretch of beach in the world.
