Great view of ocean, which we were hoping for. Beach was closed much of our stay due to the wild weather. Kona storm caused damage and any cancellations of our planned activists. The view from this property helped. Saw whales in distance. Even with all the closures of beaches, State parks, etc we still had a wonderful time and will be back!

So glad you all enjoyed your stay even with that crazy storm! Front row seats with that view and I'm so happy the whales were there for you...thank you for being fantastic guests and we can't wait for you to visit again!
Beautifully furnished unit with everything you need to cook and have a comfortable stay. There’s a bit of noise from the nearby road/park so I’d recommend bringing ear plugs if you want to sleep with doors open but we just closed the doors and it was no problem. I would definitely stay again!

Thank you for your nice comments and you are invited back anytime! Agree with you on the road noise but I guess that's the cost of being across the road from the ocean. :))
I do exactly what you do and also use the sound machine that is next to the bed. Mahalo!
We had an excellent stay at this property! The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you will need. The beach pantry is very generously loaded with chair, umbrellas, coolers, etc. it came in handy for all the beach days. The location is prime, walking distance to Kam 2 and 3! The accommodations had plenty supplies. We enjoyed the views on the lanai and had a very comfortable stay. The owners had excellent communication and provided awesome recommendations prior to the stay. I’d definitely stay here again!! Thank you!

Wonderful place for our family visit to Maui - right across the road to the beach, and easy access to all parts of the island by rental car.A lovely condo with excellent decor and perfect for making good family memories!

We had a great stay here! We wish we were able to stay longer - great location, the beach is so nice across the street, and the condo was so cute and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when we can get ourselves back to Maui!

Thank you very much! We are so sorry you had to cut your trip short...add it on to your next visit! Thanks for being great guests. :)
We had a great stay, everything was comfortable and accessible. The location is great and there is good people watching from the balcony. Beds were comfy and good light blocking/sound makers available to lessen street noise. The condo did get hot in the afternoon and early evening, but we were usually out exploring during that time.
The property had everything we could ask for. The view from the room is amazing and Kam 3 Beach is so close and very nice. There is a decent amount of street noise, so if you are sensitive to that, bring ear plugs.
One of the best rental properties we’ve ever stayed in. The place is gorgeous, right across from a great beach with a large grassy area, bathrooms, etc. a great pool and everything you could ask for to make you feel right at home. Kihei itself is great for families but this unit made it even better. You can tell a lot of love and thought was put into making it feel so cozy.
The stay was just what we needed. Location was great with easy beach access, short drives around Kihei and Wailea, clean, responsive housekeeping, nothing but good things to say aobut our stay. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay in the Beachfront Penthouse. The unit has a fabulous view and a lot of comfortable seating for family to hang out together. We will book again!

Thanks Amanda!!! We really appreciate it and we will have it ready when youre ready to come back!! :) You were a great guest!
Sean is a kind, friendly, and thoughtful host with an amazing place right by Kamaole Beach Park III. I did quite a bit of research to find the right neighborhood for us in Maui, and this spot turned out to be absolutely perfect!The beach is so close that we often didn’t even bother bringing towels—it’s just steps away. The unit is well-equipped with plenty of water sports gear and a full kitchen. It’s also an easy walk to the nearest grocery store, a great brunch spot, and the main snorkeling dock.This location is a perfect hub for exploring Maui—you can enjoy the beach just outside the unit without being in a resort, and you’ll have easy access to OGG Airport, Hana, Paia, Lahaina, and many of the island’s top recommended restaurants.Being a top corner unit with big windows and super high ceilings, you can still enjoy the feeling of being outside even when you’re indoors. The building is very quiet, making it perfect for travelers who want to feel at home in Maui—those who prefer occasional cooking, relaxing, and enjoying a peaceful stay rather than the busy resort or hotel vibe. Highly recommended!

Mahalo!
We have stayed in this condo 3 times and we love it! The condo layout is super comfortable, the views are amazing, the location is ideal, and the condo owner and property manager are fantastic to work with. Highly recommend!
This penthouse was had the perfect layout and location to celebrate our retirement. We had an initial issue with the door access which the property manager dealt with promptly. We loved being close enough to walk across the street to access the beach for swimming, snorkeling, and body surfing. Also close to many shops and dining. Mahalo for the memories. Sheri

About the host
Hosted by Sean Gaston Steer
My partner Jim and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been coming to Kihei for years. Its our favorite Hawaiian destinaion after visiting all other islands. We have always dreamed of owning a very "Hawaiian" feeling property....and found it! I am an Interior Designer and Jim is a General Contractor and we restore and remodel vintage homes for a living....you'll love what we've done with the condo. :)
Why they chose this property
Our Mid Century Maui home was completely remodeled. Beautifully new but maintains its wonderful Island feeling. You can't beat the location, the view, the sound of the ocean and the vintage Hawaiian decor with all the modern necessities. We look forward to sharing it with you!
What makes this property unique
Professionally decorated and comfortable....You will love the 16 foot high bamboo ceilings, walls of glass facing the ocean, the Lanai, vintage Shoji screens, the open layout with great separation of space. Really nice to have 2 full baths with plenty of room to share!
