Our 2 bedroom 2 bath condo received a complete renovation so we can offer all the amenities the discriminating traveler desires. From the stainless steel kitchen complete with all small appliances, glassware and cookware to the Select Comfort Sleep Number adjustable mattresses on the king and twin beds, from the custom bath and shower areas with hair dryer to the flat screen TVs with DVD players in the bedrooms and living room, to the full-size front loading washer and dryer in the unit (with free laundry detergent!)- - we strive to fulfill your needs. We provide a small library of books and games if you want to spend an evening inside just relaxing. And of course - FREE WiFi!
Why the Owner Chose Kihei: : Of all the places we looked at to purchase, Kihei Akahi offered a superb sunny location within walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. We discovered that many times when it rains in Lahaina and Kaanapali, Kihei is usually sunny and warm. Located across from Kaamaole Beach II (voted the best beach on Maui several times) and offering 2 pools with BBQ facilities and tennis courts on site added to Kihei Aklahi's qualities. Boat trips, whether for scuba diving, snorkeling or rentals can be found within walking distance at Kihei Boat ramp.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:: Year Purchased: 1995 - The outstanding view from our lanai is next to Heaven itself. We have over 180 degree view from the west Maui mountains to Molikini Crater. From December to April whales frolic in the waters off Kaamaole Beach as if there to be your private performers. And if sunsets aren't breathtaking enough, looking out the front door up Haleakala Volcano at sunrise surely will do the job.
Owner Description/Comments:: We, Sue and Bill, have been condo owners in Kihei Maui since 1991. We have traveled to all of the Hawaiian islands since 1983 and truly believe Maui No Kai Oi - Maui is the Best. Our sons were raised with many trips to Hawaii learning to appreciate the Hawaiian sea life, culture and natural beauty. We hope to be able to continue to share this wonderful island paradise with YOU making our 'home away from home' Your Vacation Home in Paradise!

About Susan Everett
We, Sue and BIll Everett, love to travel and have been traveling the Hawaiian islands since 1985. We have two grown sons in Ohio and Utah and the world's best dog, Brownie! Although we'd love to spend more time in Kihei work makes that impossible so we love to share our island paradise condo with our guests.
Susan Everett purchased this Condo in 1992
Why Susan Everett chose Kihei
After seeing all the Hawaiian islands and all parts of each island, we decided on Kihei because of its dry, sunny climate. We noticed when we stayed on the "West side" it rained quite a lot, but Kihei was nice and sunny. We have not regretted our purchse one single minute!! The office staff are helpful and keep Kihei Akahi running smoothly. Plus our board of directors take a hands on approach to every situation so no detail gets overlooked.
What makes this Condo unique
The unique benefit of our condo has to be the lanai and the awesome ocean views. During whale season, have a seat, pickup the binoculars and its better than any whale watch trip. And of course, theres no better place to see the beautiful Maui sunsets than on your own comfortable lanai.

Notes
- Maui trade winds cool the condo nicely so we have tried to be eco-friendly and not install A/C. Long term rental accepted with monthly cleaning service mandatory at renter's expense. Assigned parking space close to elevator. Video game console not provided but easy hook-up for your system is provided on TV in 2nd bedroom. Free local calls and answering machine provided so you don't miss reservation confirmations! Activity desk nearby. 100 meters, 300 paces to beautiful Kamaole II beach with showers, restrooms and lifeguards. Cross walk from condo complex to the beach makes access easy and safe. Our lanai overlooks the upper pool, BBQ area and offers exquisite ocean views. Whale sightings are plentiful from December to April. It's an easy stroll (300 paces) to the ocean and we offer beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, and kids share the numerous buckets, shovels and beach toys for sand castle building.

Best kitchen ever - well appointed and updated.
Well appointed kitchen. Knives even sharp! Nicely upgraded unit with all the amenities you want.
We didn't see any fire extinguisher in the unit. Maybe want one in the kitchen?
SleepMaster bed in master bedroom did not respond to any changes. It was fully plugged in - we checked.
Though grounds exceptionally well taken care of and immaculately clean, the manager of the complex was unkind and unfriendly and we referred to him as "Mr. Nasty." Other owners attested to this fact as well. It was obvious that his employees are not happy and are stressed under his leadership.
It would also be nice if the groundskeepers could use electric devices. The blower in particular was so noisy, it was overwhelming at times.
Despite these minor inconveniences, we will be back and highly recommend the unit. Susan, the owner, is super friendly and helpful which is important when renting any place.
Monkeypod was our favorite restaurant as well as Cafe O'Lei. Snorkeling to Molikini also a great time.
I will check on the missing fire extinguisher ASAP- one should be in the cabinet by the laundry. I understand how you could mistake our property manager as "Mr Nasty" . Jim is the nicest, hardest working person but he has the driest sence of humor and personality. It took me a while to 'get' him and I believe he has the respect of his staff. He demands a lot but gives them training and options not offered elsewhere. I'm glad you enjoyed the condo, KA grounds & all Maui offers. And there's so much more for you to discover on your return trip. Sue E
Maui- still our Paradise home!
We spent 2 wonderful weeks at our condo and had a great time showing our friends, Angie & Jim, the splendors of Maui & Lanai. We have big plans for the condo this summer- new windows, A/C, new carpet & painting throughout. We look forward to upgrading our Maui Paradise home & sharing it with our many guests & friends. Trilogy, Pacific Whale Foundation, Wailea Gateway, Fabiano's( great macaroons!) and Lava Rock Restaurant in Kihei topped our list this visit plus Fred's, our usual hangout. Can't wait to return to Maui. Sue & Bill
What more can I say other than Mahalo to all of our guests who have taken such good care of our Maui Paradise condo over the years. We look forward to having everyone return to Hawaii to take advantage of our returning guest discount. Can't wait until we return to start our next project to improve & update D615!
Very Nice Spacious Condo
We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was exactly as pictured/described. The wifi was not great, and many people may say you go on vacation to get away, which is true, but we still appreciate the ability to stay in touch with family home through our portable devices. All other amenities were as described. If we needed a 2 bedroom condo again we'd certainly come back to this condo.
We are currently in our condo and have already arranged service for the cable/wifi-it's just not up to the degree it should be. Our entire complex will be going to digital cable soon so we will be interested in seeing how that improves services too. We always hope our guests don't miss any important info while here but we do hope they enjoy all amenities of the condo and Maui in general. Be sure to remind us if you return as we do offer a returning guest discount. Mahalo and Aloha.
A perfect paradise!
As always, the condo was clean, welcoming and ready for occupancy. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen it is easy to live here. Located on the 6th floor of Building D, the condo has the best view. A large balcony encourages watching for whales and awesome sunsets. It is a short walk to a safe swimming beach with turtles and colorful tropical fish. And it is close to great restaurants and shopping. We will stay here again!
We love having you as a guest Marjan. Your feedback is so important to us, and other potential guests. Thanks for taking the time to review our Hawaiian Paradise condo. Safes travels to you and your family always
D-615 at Kehei Akahi had everything we needed and was very comfortable.
Everything was in good repair at this condo and having the trunk with beach supplies was a bonus. The view was spectacular and the kitchen was well stocked. Due to food allergies for some of our group we had to eat in more often and we found what we needed - even some spices! We did leave a few more and some oatmeal packets for the next quests. Susan, we did accidentally drop and break a salad plate and we apologize for that. We did not get a chance to replace it as it was just before we left. Our family had a lovely time and we thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condo.
We are so glad the condo fulfilled your needs. Although I don't do a lot of cooking when Bill and I are at the condo, when I do I enjoy having all the gadgets, pots, pans, utensils etc. to prepare and serve a great meal. As guests suggest items they miss having we attempt to supply them if feasible. No need to worry about one plate. Accidents happen, inventory decreases and replacements are secured. Hopefully you had a safe trip home. Sue & Bill
