About this property

Breathtaking ocean views!! Steps to the beach!! Recently remodeled!!

Our Hale Kai O Kihei (‘ha-lay-ky o ‘kee-hay) condo offers breathtaking ocean views. On the private lanai, you can enjoy the tranquil sounds of the ocean and view the amazing year-round sunsets. There are also miles of sandy, un-crowded beach directly in front of the condo, excellent for morning and evening walks.

The beachfront location and amazing ocean views are comparable to what you would find at the nicest resort. But, at our condo, you will have privacy, your own private lanai, and is fully equipped for your comfort and enjoyment. Our condo has a private 1 bedroom with a queen-sized bed and an updated bathroom with a new tile shower and vanity with granite. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for all your cooking needs. The living room, which opens to the outside lanai, comes with a new sleeper sofa with a memory foam mattress, ceiling fan, & AC unit. The high-speed internet provides an average of 63 Mbps download and 7.31 Mbps upload.

Hale Kai O Kihei’s many amenities include a pool, shuffleboard area, and gas grill barbeques. Laundry facilities are also conveniently located on the property.

The condo location is on a quiet residential street just one block from the Times Market (formerly Star Market) and the Azeka Shopping Center in Kihei. You are within walking distance of retail stores in Azeka Shopping Center, grocery stores, shopping, and great restaurants (Nalu's, Pizza Madness, Coconuts, Fabianno’s, Fork & Salad, & Amigo’s – to name a few). Within walking distance, you will find 2 fitness centers to choose from, a yoga studio, and the Kihei Aquatic Center (lap swimming & water aerobics) for all your fitness needs. There are also beauty salons & nail salons within shopping complexes and a post office, dive shop, scooter rentals, ATMs, and banks. You will find a farmer’s market open every Saturday and an open-air craft market & gift items available daily. Kihei Rent-A-Car is nearby, and they offer shuttle service to and from the airport.

Depending on swell direction, you can enjoy surfing & stand-up paddling in front of the condo complex, and with steady trade winds, windsurfing, and kiteboarding!

For any medical needs you may have, there are a few outpatient medical clinics nearby.

Public transit is one block from the complex. The condo is only a short 10-minute drive to Wailea & a 20-minute drive to Kahului International Airport.

Please note: There are no elevators at this complex. We are on the 2nd floor.

Perfect
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!!

One week is not enough!
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!

Clean, beautiful location, and comfortable!
We arrived to a nice clean and comfortable place to stay. Immediately had a beautiful sunset to view from the balcony every night we were there. The beach gear was great and the location could not be beat. Also had a last minute change of plans that were accommodated and greatly appreciated. Great trip and a great place to stay.

Wonderful stay in Kihei
We had a fantastic stay, this was the perfect home base during our trip to Maui. The views are unbeatable and the condo itself was very clean. It was stocked with everything we needed and had a comfortable bed. The location is convenient as well, just a short walk or drive to restaurants in the Kihei area and easy access to Wailea. We can’t wait to come back!

Love Birds
My husband and I stayed after getting married in Wailea. The communication with our hosts was great, we were happily impressed by the condo all around— everything we may need was there and then some. The neighbors were friendly, and there were love birds gathering everyday in front of the patio which was an adorable sight. Everything I like for a comfortable stay, this place had. Bed, water pressure, a/c all as advertised and better. The view was beautiful, would definitely stay again. Thank you Joseph and Roopa!

Condo was as pictured and described. Comfortable for 2 people. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and a variety of spices. Couldn't ask for a better location for beautiful sunsets. Close to grocery store. Pool is convenient but not fancy. Owner responses are prompt to a variety of questions. Would recommend if you want to stay in the busy Kihei area.

Perfect Location!!!
You’d be hard pressed to find a better location, in my opinion. So close to AMAZING restaurants. The views are unbeatable!! We LOVED whale watching and the sunsets!!! For my husband and I it was a wonderful getaway! There could have been more towels, both hand towels in bathroom and there weren’t any towels at all in the kitchen for drying dishes or wiping down counters except for paper towels, which seemed odd and could have been overlooked by cleaning staff. Overall highly recommended and would definitely return in the future!!

Location, location, location
They say location is everything in real estate. The same applies true to this condo. The location of this unit is one of the best for sunsets from your own lanai. The overall complex is quiet, well maintained, and adjacent to a great beach where you might even see turtles on the sand. The unit is comfortable for 2 people and this was our third time staying here. Unfortunately, the new owners have made some changes that we did not find to be an improvement. The bathroom remodel removed most of the counter space and all the storage. There is a wire towel holder that they placed by the sink but it does not include a solid surface so there is no place to put your personal items. Also, they removed the dresser from the bedroom and there is no place to unpack your clothes other than hanging them. The nightstands were small tables that also did not include any drawer space. The sliding glass door to the lanai is quite outdated and hard to slide. The louvered windows to either side don’t open to let breezes in. These really could use an update to improve the experience. Roopa, the owner was responsive and helpful and even brought us clean sheets and towels halfway through our 10 night stay. She also helped us with a late checkout which was much appreciated. Item to note: As noted by another guest, you will have to pay 100% of the rental fee at the time of booking (we have never had to do this before). We booked a year in advance.

Fantastic Views
We had an amazing stay at this property. The sunsets were different every night and never disappointed. We also spent time watching the whales. It was surprising what we could see and enjoy from the lanai. Beach walks daily with sea turtles making their appearance as well. The property was clean and comfortable. It was quiet, yet we were so close to restaurants and other local spots that we also enjoyed.

What a great stay, great property! Just a couple km from lots of restaurants and shops Beach was great. But the real pleasure were the hosts, our plane was delayed two days so I messaged them at 5am (not thinking I would get a response quickly) and they responded within minutes and were able to accommodate us for another two nights. Would highly recommend

Beautiful sunsets, very convenient location
This was our first time staying in Kihei. For our previous visits to Maui we stayed in the Kaanapali/Lahaina area. We booked this condo based on the 5 star ratings on VRBO. The condo was nicely furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the sofa was nice and firm (compared to other places at where the sofa are really soft with no support). The sunsets on the lanai were amazing and the condo was well stocked with everything you would need. Very fluffy towels, plenty of pillows and blankets, beach supplies, spices and cooking oils, pots/pans, etc. Very convenient walking distance to Times Supermarket and restaurants. A couple of things to note: 1. There is a coin-operated laundry on the first floor (bring $7 in quarters $2 for the washer, $3 for the dryer, and $1 each for detergent and fabric softener). The condo did have laundry detergent while we were there. 2. You will have to pay 100% of the rental price when booking (we have never had to do this before - most hosts charge 1/3 or 1/2 upon booking and the rest closer to the arrival date. We booked 11 months in advance and had to pay the full cost upfront). 3. There is one airconditioner in the living room. However the bedroom does get quite warm, even with a ceiling fan. 4. The place is comfortable for a couple, or a couple with one or two small children. There is not much closet space. Overall, a nice place to stay and a quiet location. We walked on the beach, saw sea turtles, and had a very relaxing time.

Blissful beachfront, sunsets, and turtles
Roopa and Josef were terrific hosts! Communication was excellent. They knew just a bit about the reason for our trip and left such a nice personalized welcome note. Everything was in great condition and well stocked. Many thoughtful touches to make this a great home for vacation. The bathroom and floors were just remodeled and we loved the vibe of the unit. The beach was very chill. Perfect if you want a quiet stretch of sand to relax on. The turtles that would come up must have thought so also! Plus it’s always nice when beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach towels, and beach toys are supplied. We hope to rent from Roopa and Josef eventually again during whale season. You are so close to the beach and we know it’s a great whale watching spot

Wonderful Maui Vacation
The views!!! We stayed on our deck for all 11 nights of sun sets, and even saw the full moon set on the water in the early morning. The newly remodeled bathroom was very well done and the unit was in great shape with a wonderful modern Hawaiian feel. The hosts were great and responsive by text or call anytime. We will be back. The condo is equipped with all kitchen needs and nice outdoor BBQ. They supplied all the beach equipment you could want. The complex is very well maintained, clean and safe. What a great trip we will be back. Look no further great for a couple or a family with 1 or 2 small kids. Thanks Mahalo!

Amazing home from home with amazing sunset view!
The apartment is a home from home equipped with everything you could need for a holiday including beach gear (chairs, umbrella, bodyboards!). It is less than 5 min walk to Times supermarket and a whole array of places to eat. The best bit is the balcony with the most amazing sunset view, and you are right on the beach for a swim or walk. Loads to do on the island and the location is convenient for everything. The hosts (Roopa and Joe) were brilliant - communication was excellent before we arrived and during our stay. Sadly we were staying during the wildfires that caused so much devastation for the island and it’s people. During the time the fires were burning Roopa and Joe were quick to check that we were ok. A lot has been written about tourists visiting Maui now in the press. Everyone we met after the fires were very welcoming. Undoubtedly the island will need visitors to continue to support the economy as it recovers, and if you choose to go then Roopa and Joes place is a great local spot to stay away from the big resorts, somewhere you can contribute respectfully and enjoy the amazing island. I’m short we couldn’t recommend staying here enough. It’s an amazing holiday rental.

Why they chose this property

The reason why my wife and I chose to buy at Hale Kai O Kihei was due to our love of the ocean. This is truly what Hawaii is about, a beautiful coconut grove with a sandy beach on the waters edge, away from the hustle and bustle. Of course, facing West for the most amazing sunsets, we are truly blessed.
