We absolutely loved our stay at this property and in this unit. The owners were very helpful during our booking process and provided us with all of the pertinent information we needed (map to the condo, information on all nearby merchants, etc.). We completely enjoyed watching the whales from the oceanfront lanai, and loved that it was only a few steps from the beach. In retrospect, the condo is a little on the smaller side, but we hardly noticed, since we weren't spending much of our time in there anyway! For 2 people, it's perfect. 4 people may be a little cramped. But the unit is updated, and very clean. I have no complaints at all. Although, if I could change one thing, it would be the shower head. It has lots of various settings, but it didn't seem to have the specific one that I have at home. Overall, it's a fabulous place and centrally located on Maui. And if we ever go back, we would definitely book with them again.

Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Stayed 10 nights in July and the condo was wonderful! Beautifully manicured grounds, nice pool, and very quiet and peaceful setting. Great views from the deck and also lots of places to relax, read or watch the scenery throughout the pool area and grounds. The beach is only a few steps away for beach walks. Staff at the condo was helpful and friendly. We've stayed on Maui 3 times and this was my favorite location of our 3 trips. The condo is located at the north tip of Kihei which is a great central location. There is a Safeway and other markets within 2 or 3 miles of the condo. The Kahului airport, Costco, and WalMart are about 15 minutes away. During our trip we most enjoyed the Maui Ocean Center aquarium, a "Trilogy" Molokini snorkeling trip, lots of snorkeling off local beaches where we saw many fish and turtles, and Iao Valley State Park. If you are trying to plan activities, from the condo it is about 5 minutes south to central Kihei (shopping, restaurants & boogie boarding at Kamaole Beach Park III), about 10 minutes to the public beaches and Luaus in the Wailea area (Wailea and Ulua beaches are great and we swam with turtles near the reefs at either end of Wailea, also fun to walk along the miles-long paved beach path in front of the Wailea area resorts, look for signs that indicate public beach access/parking in several locations.) About 5 minutes north of the condo to Ma'alaea harbor (great Maui Ocean Center Aquarium - get there at lunch when they feed the sharks and rays in the big tank. Ma'alaea is also where many of the snorkeling, Molokini, Lanai and sunset cruises take off from) about 30 minutes north to Lahaina (shopping, restaurants and more cruise ships) and 35 minutes north to Ka’anapali and Whaler's Village (Shopping, beaches, and Luaus. Fun to walk along the miles-long paved beach path in front of the Ka’anapali area resorts. Ka’anapali beach is very popular - good snorkeling at north end near the big black rock outcropping, look for signs that indicate public beach access/parking in several locations.) Great trip, great location, looking forward to a return trip

Thank you Frank & Cameron for a most lovely week in the "Island of the Sun". We We came here for our Niece's wedding which was on the beach south of here. Absolutely a wonderful week of activities but it was great coming back to our "home" here in Kihei. Everything here was very useful and helped us on our daily excursions. We loved the location in "Paradise". Thank you again, Jim O'Neil

Frankie & Cameron, It has been 3 years since we were last here on Maui. Thank you for sharing your peaceful and charming condo with us. Hearing the sound of the ocean is a blessing. We did a lot of connecting with our long time friends and had a beautiful sail on the Cinderella. We thank you again for letting us be part of your perfect spot. Love XXXX Wayne & Greta

We had a wonderful time. The location is perfect. We have never been to a beach where you look in both directions and see 10 or 15 people. Very secluded and very clean. Had a great time, Bob & Vicki

Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our honeymoon! The condo was beautiful and the views, WOW an amazing sunset each night enjoyed on the balcony, what more could we have asked for. The condo is smack dab in the middle of the island so it's easy to drive anywhere. Thanks for letting us use Maui Revealed, it was a great resource to help plan our trip! We'll definitely be back!

We celebrated our honeymoon at Kealia Condos this past August. We had such a great time. The condo was beautiful inside and out. The tenants were friendly, the beach quiet, we pretty much had it all to ourselves most days. My favorite part...hearing the waves crashing as I closed my eyes to go to sleep at night. Thank you so much for the stay, we loved every minute of it.

Frank and Cameron, We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Kealia, #202! The book "Maui Revealed" was fantastic. We went to Borders and bought one to bring home. Your condo is well appointed and comfortable. We slept very well. The surf by our bedside had something to do with how well we slept, I'm sure. You guys did a wonderful job on your remodel. We loved it and would go back again! In fact, we didn't want to leave! Mahalo! Kay and Marty

Frank and Cameron, We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and are actually sad about having to return home to the routines that await us. the weather was perfect during our stay and the condo was very comfortable and inviting. We can't remember the last time we slept so sound. It must have been the waves pounding on the beach. Thanks for everything, Scott and April

Being that Maui is our favorite vacation spot, we thought we would try somewhere new to stay. Our stay at the Kealia was the best trip to Maui we've ever had! The absolute best spot! The perfect location. Close enough to everything, yet far enough away for the perfect getaway vacation. Huge white sand beach that stretches for miles, and is not crowded at all. Perfect sunsets to watch while sitting on your lanai. A private swimming pool right below. Quite and comfortable surroundings. The condo had everything needed, very clean and comfortable. The absolute perfect place for R & R! We would definitely stay at the Kealia again in a heart beat! It was perfect, and well worth the money.

I loved this home. The view is so beautiful that you can be inside lying on the sofa and still enjoy it. The unit has been marvelously upgraded and has unsurpassed serenity. The location is perfect- close to restaurants,activities and shopping. The management here aim to please and I felt so welcome. I only count the days to my return.
