About this property

Steps from the Beach in North Kihei

Wailana Kai is located in North Kihei just a short distance from Sugar Beach. This is the perfect location for somebody who wants to be near the water. Sugar Beach is in an ideal spot in the middle of Maui allowing for easy drive times to Wailea in the south or Ioa Valley in Wailuku. Rest, relax and enjoy the Beach and pool or head off to Hana or Haleakala National Park. View all of Maui with Wailana Kai as your starting point.

The 10 unit building sits at the end of a short cul-de-sac where it is private and quiet. Guests won’t hear the traffic on the main road and are less than 90 yards to the beach and ocean. This complex includes a pool which is newly renovated and tiled as of January 2024, BBQ grills, outdoor washing station for sandy feet & beach gear, & coin or pay app operated laundry.

Our cleaning crew is very thorough. All surfaces are cleaned with a bleach solution or other effective disinfectant between guests. All linens, wash clothes, towels and sheets are changed out between guests including the duvet and pillow shams. Check out time is 11 AM and check in is after 4 pm. This decreases the likelihood that germs will survive and allows our cleaning staff time to do excellent work without being rushed.

The bedroom has a king sized memory foam mattress, dresser, night stands, table lamps and large closet. There is a queen sized pull out sleeper sofa in the living room for additional guests. The unit offers an ocean view and the lanai has a bar height table for two. This condo is supplied with beach chairs and an umbrella for enjoying the sunny, warm days and some board games for relaxing in the evenings. We try to provide all the necessary amenities to fully enjoy your Maui vacation.

The bathroom has a toilet, vanity and plenty of room for any toiletries. The walk in shower has a rain shower head and hand held wand. You will find bath products like shampoo, conditioner and soap provided.

Wonderful Stay in Kihei

Nice condo centrally located in central Maui which served as a great temporary home for our vacation. I really couldn’t ask for anymore, and Fara was great to work with! The other residents are super nice and the area around the condo is quiet at nighttime.

Great vacation.

The condo was lovely and provided everything we needed to feel like it was a "home away from home". We enjoyed walking on a beach every morning, having coffee on a beautiful lanai, making dinner on a grill. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable. The owner Fara was very attentive and helpful before and during our stay. We would definitely book it again in the future.

Amazing condo with extras

We had a wonderful week at Wailana Kai and this condo had all we needed to feel at home. It is very comfortable with a nice bed and space to relax in the living room. We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the lanai and walked across to Sugar Beach for sunsets. The street and condo are quiet and away from the busy resorts. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler and used them daily on our adventures. Fara was very accommodating and a wonderful host. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Maui.

Amazing host and space

Fara was impeccable with her communication. She also left lots of nice touches - coffee to enjoy, clean extra linens, a great assortment of beach gear that was a total lifesaver. She even helped me out on check in when we arrived around midnight and were confused as to exactly where we were supposed to be. I would recommend and I would return too!

After issues with our flight, it was a pleasure to walk into this quiet, clean, calming condo for our stay! It was equipped with all you need for a fun Hawaiian vacation! Communication was excellent! The air conditioning was a gift & the ceiling fans in the bedroom helped keep you cool while sleeping. The rainfall shower was lovely and the room was well stocked with plenty of towels. We didn’t cook anything (too lazy) but the kitchen looked equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool but it looked inviting! The area was quiet and the nearby beach was also quiet too! Great for getting away from the crowds! Thank you Fara for the opportunity to stay at your fabulous place! Mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Fara

Host profile image
I moved to Maui with my husband in 2014 and lived in this property before finding our own home in Kihei in 2022. We love the location and amenities and hope you enjoy it just as much now that it is a vacation rental.. Kihei is our favorite community on Maui. We live here year round and are happy to share some local tips and favorite spots. You may find us paddling kayaks & boards off the Kihei coast or just lounging on the beach. Everyday feels like a vacation living on Maui and I hope our guests feel the same way.

Why they chose this property

Wailana Kai is a hidden gem that is far enough from South Kihei road to hear very little traffic noise but close enough to reach Isana sushi restaurant and the beach without getting into your car. More dining and shopping is just a walk or short drive away. The beach is within 90 yards of the building and usually not too crowded. The complex has very nice amenities and only 10 units. Other units in the building are also short term vacation rentals so larger parties or groups needing more beds could rent out multiple units.

What makes this property unique

The condo has an ocean view and is located steps from the beach.
