Aloha! Welcome to my home at Kihei Akahi. My one-bedroom Maui condo, located in sunny Kihei, is the perfect place to spend your Hawaiian vacation. My spacious (696 SF), ground-floor condo with lanai opening out onto a large lawn, has been tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished to provide you with a feeling of home away from home.
Inside is your own washer and dryer, ceiling fans, and a fully-equipped kitchen. In addition, the condo has an eclectic library of books and VCR tapes -- several featuring Hawaiian history and/or culture -- to enhance your vacation experience.
Several times a year, I personally visit to decorate and make sure that my condo provides the best vacation experience possible for my guests. Please click on my web pages below for the latest pictures.
The Kihei Akahi complex boasts lovely tropical landscaped grounds with plumeria trees, hibiscus and other mature, lush Hawaiian plants. Across the street is sandy Kamaole Beach II. Here you will be able to catch the rays of the sun (wear sunscreen!) or swim and snorkel in the gentle surf. In the evenings the sunsets provide many opportunities to capture that special photo by which you will remember your time in Hawaii.
Wheelchair Accessible. (Please discuss needs with owner before booking.) Pets are NOT allowed. NO Smoking Please!

Beautiful Maui Condo Across from Beach-- Free Internet & Air!
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Kihei Akahi
The first time I stayed at the Kihei Akahi complex where I now own a condo was in 1987. Previously, I had always stayed in the Kaanapali area in one of the hotels. My friends with whom I was traveling and I really liked the relaxed pace of Kihei and the spaciousness of one bedroom condos. Subsequently all of my return visits have been to this part of the island. When I finally decided to buy my own condo, I checked out many other properties as well but found that, for me, Kihei Akahi offered the best value. I liked the spaciousness of the units and having immediate access to the ocean across the street where I could snorkel or swim. Complexes in North Kihei, are near beaches that are not good for snorkeling or swimming. I also liked that I could walk to shops and restaurants -- a feature that I thought would appeal to my guests. And, of course, the grounds of the Kihei Akahi complex are kept up beautifully which makes it nice for me and my guests to visit.

Aloha!
I have been coming to Maui since 1982 when I finally fulfilled my dream of visiting Hawaii. Maui really is a wonderful, special place and I feel fortunate to own my little piece of paradise and be able to share it with my guests.
During my second visit to Hawaii a year later, I finally had the courage to try snorkeling and fell in love with the beautiful warm ocean and its inhabitants. Twenty years later (2003) I took it to the next level and became a scuba diver! Once I became a diver, I wanted to give something back and now I volunteer whenever I am in Maui -- counting fish and tracking the health of the reefs. There is even a picture of me in scuba gear on the cover of "Preserving Paradise: Opportunities in Volunteering for Hawaii's Environment," by Kirsten Whatley -- available at Amazon.com. This book is recommended for anyone who has an interest in enriching their experience of this magical place.
I very much enjoy sharing my condo and encourage my guests to ask questions about Maui and their upcoming vacations. Many come back year after year and have become part of what I call "my Maui family."

(from email after this guest's second stay with me) Hello Annette, We are just get back to Japan, as we spent several days in Oahu after Maui. We really enjoyed the life at Maui with your beautiful condo. Anyway, thank you very much to share the comfortable condo. We found some improvement on your unit, and it was great. Also, some renewal kitchen staff was very good. My wife was hesitate to use the new pans at first, as it was shining too much and she would not like to make any surface flaws. We are not sure when we can go back to Maui next time, while we hope to visit Maui every year. But we are sure that your condo will be 1st priority for accommodation. Best Regards,
