Very Good

We have stayed at this complex visiting Maui in the past. I will say the host was great. The condo has had no upgrades done. We were told this upfront. The carpet always felt damp. The mattress needs to be replaced. And the furniture needs new cushions. We love the grills. Grounds are beautiful. The front office employees are great. We will come back to Maui just not this condo. Mahalo

The Good: Perfectly located in Kihei. Grounds well maintained. The Bad: Directly above the pool/spa/BBQ..expect much noice 7 am to 10 pm., mgmt office closed entire time. The Ugly: Carpeting so soiled wore socks, mildew smell strong, condo supplies lacking.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it. We will forward this to the owner to see how we can do about the carpet.
This property was comfortable but could use an update. The garbage disposal wasnt working which made the sink back up, but with only one call the problem was taken care of! We liked the gtounds and the pool and hottub!

Outdated
The initial impression was musty, moldy smelling, poorly ventilated and, sure enough, there was no fan in any room, not even the very small bathroom. My son's allergies acted up so badly his eyes were swollen almost shut; to the point he bought some swimming goggles just to be in the condo. I contacted the property managers to possibly move but there were no open places. The pictures look bright and airy but there is actually no sun exposure into the condo at all. It faces the harbor and yet we couldn't see the sunset either. The screen door in the bedroom hardly opened at all and the one in the living room opened only after much effort. The lighting was also very poor, living room and bedroom. The carpets needed cleaning and, actually, carpet in Hawaii is a pretty poor idea. A water main in the center garden blew and was spraying water up to our 2nd story doorway. I don't usually leave poor reviews but this was shockingly disappointing. I am almost NEVER disappointed in anything about Hawaii...

Mahalo for your review of Kauhale Makai 230! We're so happy you had a great stay! The oceanfront location of Kauhale Makai is very convenient with shops and restaurants just a few minutes down the road, and Kihei is just a short drive to Wailea, Lahaina, and central Maui. It's great to hear the unit was up to your cleaning expectations upon arrival. We hope to host you again soon! please think of Kauahle Makai 230 and AA Oceanfront when planning your next Maui visit.

Affordable no frills getaway
This condo has great ocean views, a nice hot tub, kids pool and swimming pool. The property is beautiful and has a nice bbq area. The lanai is huge and great to hang out on though.
However the condo itself is really lacking. It’s wildly outdated. None of the knifes are sharp and all the dishes needed a pre wash.
The sofa bed is not suitable for anyone to sleep on it is basically a thing spring mattress that I laid on and could feel every spring...and by the second night we had a rollaway delivered which sufficed but was frustrating as this location advertised that it can sleep 4- it can not. The rollaway was single size and hard to accommodate our 16 year old.
We also had issues with ac and didn’t hear back from the property managers until two days later via email. Also not mentioned in the ad for this place is that the bathroom is only accessible thru the bedroom so privacy is an issue. Also when trying to use the ac we discovered mold on the ceiling- I don’t check my email on vacation and that’s how AA oceanfront choose to contact us.
The interior of this condo is not the VRBO standard I’m used to at all so that was a bummer. I found a much better (and cheaper) condo on Airbnb last year and will return to that. It was booked this time but there are better more affordable options in Kihei so unless you’re in a pinch I’d avoid this one. Also the carpet really needed a deep clean.
Unfortunately it rained for a lot of our trip so we were at the condo more than anticipated- this ISN’T the condo you want to be rained out in- the furniture is like 1980s ratan and worn and everything is dingy and dusty but if your able to be out and about a lot and just have two people this place is pretty decent for sleeping.
Pretty disappointed with the property managers responses, so if you book here don’t anticipate great quality care.
Overall I’d say this was a 3 star out of 5 place.

Mahalo for your review of Kauhale Makai 230! We appreciate your feedback! We're so sorry the condo was not what you expected. It is a basic unit that has not been updated for quite some time. We did send you an email after booking that explained the standard category. The lower price reflects the basic condition of this condo. We will reach out to the owners and let them know the issues you had. We hope they will be able to complete some updates. We are glad we were able to get a roll-away bed delivered to you the same day you called in about the sofa sleeper. We did try calling and emailing you about the follow-up issues. However, your phone was not accepting voicemails. Again, we apologize for the condo not being what you had pictured. We do manage over 100 other condos in the Kihei area. If you would like to try one of our other condos for your next Maui vacation, feel free to reach out to us at AA Oceanfront.
Mahalo for your review of Kauhale Makai 230! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and that the condo had everything you needed for time on Maui. We hope to host you again soon! Please think of Kauhale Makai 230 and AA Oceanfront when planning your next Maui visit.

Perfect Maui visit
The property, pool, and location was excellent. The condo could use some upgrades, (mainly carpet replaced or manufactured flooring, new window treatments, and the bedroom slider door made to open), but overall had everything and was a nicely and uniquely designed condo room arrangement. I liked the style of the apartment with a balcony set in view of ocean and pool area. Really nice appliances including coffee maker and toaster. I especially appreciated having a tub/shower combination. Bed was very comfortable and living room flat screen TV and wifi was superb. Called Oceanfront as the refrigerator (very new model) had frost build up in the lower half freezer unit, plus two outlets didn't work for the lamps. Jay was fantastic and came over and assessed those issues. He scheduled repair the next day and all was fixed expeditiously. I liked the laundry room on the same floor, the beautiful ocean view from living room and bedroom. The initial supplies (dishwasher tabs, paper towels, etc.) were greatly appreciated.
The pool, hot tub (nice and hot) with strong jets, and kiddie pool were wonderful. People grilled each evening. Walking across the mowed green lawn to the ocean (few minutes walk) each morning was perfect for beginning each day. Sunsets and walking along the beach is right there.
The construction on the south end condo complex occurred during the day only, and it did not affect my stay. Staying in March, I never used the AC at all, and closed the sliding door to the balcony to diminish the noise. Furniture was comfortable, kitchen well-appointed, and elevator or stairs to second floor convenient. The interior lush palms and botanicals between each wing of condos was a delightful surprise. I would definitely stay here again, and in this condo. Thanks to Jay and the maintenance repair technician for taking care of the minor issues so promptly.
In addition, I appreciated booking online AND speaking to Oceanfront staff during my booking online. The staff was informative and professional.

Great experience thank you
The property is outstanding, well cared for, and we enjoyed the suite.
The facility is undergoing exterior upgrades, which proved to be quite noisy Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. We do realize that facilities do need to be maintained but it did impact the overall peace and tranquillity that vacationers seek.
The room was great. Beautiful view from the lanai... much better than the photos demonstrate. Comfortable bed. We had everything we needed.
We used the services of Maui Market Delivery, which was amazing. We arrived to our unit at midnight to a fully stocked fridge and all our groceries waiting for us, including alcohol. So we could unwind over a late night drink. And have coffee, bacon and eggs for breakfast! They do charge for their service, but worth it!!!!!
Nice pool and hot tub; well located.
Our condo door was a key pad, so a late night arrival was no problem as we were sent the code prior to arrival.
We would definitely come back to this suite!!!
