About this property

On the Beach! Popular Unit A6, Gorgeous Remodel. An Ideal Location.

NEWLY Remodeled, You'll appreciate the Quality and Attention to Detail.

Kihei Sands is a Direct Beachfront complex and from your front door you are just steps away to Maui's world famous white sand SUGAR BEACH. 5 miles long, Sugar Beach is Hawaii State's longest beach. Why cross the road to get to a beach? You are ON the beach!

Your condominium is in a SMALL-SCALE complex that is intimate, relaxing, friendly and well-maintained by on-site management. An ideal location in the complex for those who prefer privacy yet want to be just steps to the ocean and pool. You are literally 30 seconds away from the ocean and can hear the waves from your bedroom at night.

Immaculately cared for, stocked with all the essentials, remodeled with attention to detail, using the finest materials and craftsmanship for quality upgrades to pamper you. Contemporary Pacific Coastal style.

Upgrades:

• Keyless entry (no registration/no keys/no hassle)

• Kitchen - quartz countertops and glass backsplash, Hansgrohe fixtures, Calphalon stainless cookwear, stainless appliances.

• Bathroom - Walk-in shower custom tile with thick glass, and Hansgrohe raindance shower system

• Bedroom - Serene and spacious. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves on ultra comfortable California King Bed (Cushion Firm Daniel Lakes). Plenty of storage for your belongings. Light blocking curtains and ceiling fan.

• High-end Air Conditioner (whisper quiet Mitsubishi split AC system)

• Cool, clean tile floors throughout.

• Excellent WiFi Throughout the Complex.


If you are seeking a quiet getaway, our location is ideal for long walks, swimming, shelling, snorkeling, sunning, whale watching (during season) and most of all, getting away from the crowds. Ride our gentle waves, rent a stand up paddle board or join the local canoe clubs in the morning to paddle on our bay.


Unit A6 has everything you could want for. It is truly your Maui home-away-from-home as my wonderful guests (and their reviews) will attest.



Kihei Sands is known for its hospitality and our repeat visitors. We have risen to the #2 position for Tripadvisor's Specialty Lodgings category in all of Kihei.

The common area is direct oceanfront and features a beautiful pool, sunbathing area, a dining area and two gas BBQs. From our Beachfront Deck you will enjoy our fresh coffee served 6am every morning... stunning sunsets every evening... Campfire night on Tuesdays (smores and hotdogs anyone?) or potluck gatherings on Thursdays...

Our property landscape includes small lawn areas as well as tropical Hawaiian plantings which include heliconia, hibiscus, white ginger, and rare Kahili and Blue ginger.

A quarter mile walk down the beach to the south you'll find fresh Kula-grown produce and ingredients acquired from nearby 'Suda's' Farmers Market, an ABC Store, Sugar Beach Bake Shop (rated #1 or #2 bakery on the island), and Ululani's Shave Ice (rated #1 on Maui). Right next door to the north, you'll enjoy Maui's 'Cheers' Bar, Dina's Sandwitch - a perfect place for casual dining and a full bar. Nearby by car there are abundant options for upscale and casual dining.

From our North Kihei location, you are in the BEST (and most central) location from which to see the island. Great for those who wish to explore other parts of Maui, and then return home to their peaceful retreat with an expansive beach and bay.

Our small scale property offers old-school charm and hospitality as well as conveniences you will love. Free WiFi throughout the complex, keyless door entry for your unit, SMART TV for streaming your favorite shows, conveniently located laundry, on-site resident property management.

Unit A6 stocks the essential items to take along on your adventures - beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, mask/snorkel/fins, even winter ski-parkas to wear for a sunrise viewing at Haleakala.

Unit A6 also provides these day to day essentials for your convenience to help you save money and time: Laundry soap, diswasher detergent, dishsoap, shower gel, paper towels, tp, cooking oil, olive oil, spices and more.

Unit A6 is strictly for a party of 2 persons & has been a favorite for honeymooning couples and those celebrating an anniversary or special birthday. *** Ask about special treats that can be arranged for your arrival to help celebrate the occassion (ie, champagne, fruit basket, cake, chocolates, with a handwritten card, or your special request) ***

(High Season (with higher nightly rates) runs from late December to mid-April and Regular Season (most affordable rates) runs from late April to mid-December. During Regular Season get the best rate by staying 7 or more nights.)

Your Perfect Maui vacation is my goal!

'Aloha, ....We particularly enjoy the closeness to the ocean of this condo unit. It's a pleasure to be lulled to sleep with the sound of waves slapping onto the beach... Having stayed here at Kihei Sands for almost 13 days we discovered it's a great 'secret' place on Maui! Our condo here (A-6) has been a delight & hope to stay here again..'


- from guest Anne I.:

'Dear Elen - Amanda and I had such a wonderful vacation! I hope to come back and bring my husband sometime. Maui has Everything, and we tried to do it all! After talking with some of the other guests in the condos, it seems yours is much nicer, updated, etc.than some of the others. I don't believe in luck, and am especially grateful to the universe for sending me to you! Mahalo again, hope to talk to you again sometime soon. Anne & Amanda'



'Aloha Elen,
I just wanted to send you a quick note of BIG THANKS! Your place and assistance were wonderful!!! My brother & I greatly enjoyed our 1st trip to Hawaii / Maui, it certainly will not be our last. Please know that the Kihei Sands and A6 are already being recommended to everyone! I guarantee you will hear from us again (hopefully sooner than later). I included a picture of us on the last evening, enjoying some of Nelson's great coffee and soaking in the amazing view!
Mahalo!

Beautiful on beach location

The location is very convenient to get anywhere on the island. The condo is just steps from a beautiful patio and pool, and a few more steps to being on a long stretch of beach. While the condo has a small kitchen, it was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Location was on the beach, quiet, serene. You can hear the ocean waves from the patio door. The condo was stocked so thoughtfully, she even had qtips in the medicine cabinet. It was a 5 min drive to the busy part of Kihei and close to shops and food trucks. Thanks for helping our trip so memorable.

Amazing Spot in Kihei

My wife and I stayed at this property for a short period before going to a larger resort for the rest of our stay in Maui. This location is so comfortable and homey. It's right next to the beach which is super nice. The property is stocked with everything you may need. I was pleasantly surprised when I went out in the morning to watch the sunrise and I saw the property makes coffee and tea in the morning for all of the guests. Lastly, the host was so nice and flexible when I needed to shorten my stay by 1 day. I would definitely recommend staying here for your trip to Maui!

An Adventure in Paradise!

We had a wonderful week at Ellen’s condo. She was so welcoming and informative throughout our stay. Great location for beach walks and going to Sugar Beach Bake shop for Malasadas and the Kihei Farmers Market to get smoothies and fresh fruit. Whales were fun to watch from the lawn area. Be aware that Kihei Sands is in a low spot and flooded while we were there. If bad weather is forecast take it seriously. Ellen was incredibly helpful and swiftly dispatched her A-Team to clean up the water that seeped in. S. Kihei Road was closed due to mud and debris. A very rare occurrence. It just added to our Maui adventure! Would definitely come again but different time of year.

Paradise on the beach

We stayed in this lovely, beach condo for 9 days and truly loved the accommodations. The property was exactly as posted and had every amenity you could want. Elen was a perfect host and was there for us at any moment. We met so many other guest staying there and learned some have been coming to Kihei Sands for years. I’ll miss walking the beach and those beautiful sunsets. We truly were sad to leave but can’t wait to return. Lastly, just a short walk down the beach for coffee, bakery and grocery store. Just a perfect location. Mahalo

This place is a hidden gem. Our second time staying at this condo, which is clean, quiet and comfortable. Anything you might need is in the condo. Great location in the particular condo complex, private and away from the activity at the pool and on the patio. But just step out your door and you have coffee in the morning and a walk on the beach! Back door is easy access to the pool! We will be back!

Perfect Location, Beautiful Property

Elen was an excellent host, she was timely with all the information for her condo and then she also had so many recommendations of places to go on the Island. I would highly recommend staying at this location. I will book again on my next trip to the Islands. A few things had changed since my last visit to Maui that I just wanted other guests to keep in mind if they book a trip. If you do the Road to Hana and want to visit the black sand beach they require reservations. Also if you want to do the Sunrise on Mt Haleakala you will want to book that early, they sell out a month in advance. I will say we did not get a reservation and got a recommendation from a local that stated the sunset is just as gorgeous and you don’t need reservations for that. We did that and she did not disappoint, it was Breathtaking!!!

Awesome condo and location!

My boyfriend and i stayed at Elen's condo unit A6 for 3 nights and every second of it was wonderful. The place is very clean, each room was totally updated and beautifully designed. We felt so at home and comfortable that it was hard to leave it behind. Elen gave us a lot of great information on what we can do, the best places to see and eat at which was very helpful. The housekeeper Wendy whom we had a chance to meet briefly is very nice and thorough in making sure everything was neat. I really miss hearing the sounds of the trees and waves day and night. The pool facing the ocean was truly a treat for a gorgeous view. I'm grateful for having a chance to stay at this gorgeous condo and meeting such a nice owner. Mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Elen

Host profile image
When not in Maui I'm at home in the Bay Area California, perhaps hiking with Buster (my companion in the photo), growing organic fruit and vegetables in my garden, or travelling elsewhere....one of my favorite things to do! I've visited and stayed on 5 of Hawaii's islands and love them all. I love sharing Maui with others and strive to help you have the perfect vacation on our island. I have upgraded the unit, carefully selected the furnishings and appliances and stocked it with literally everything you need to immediately enjoy your 2nd home in Maui.

Why they chose this property

Kihei Sands evokes a strong reminiscence of my very first visit to Hawaii as a teenager. It possesses a relaxed charm and friendliness that you simply won't encounter in many other properties. Before I purchased, I looked all over the island at many different complexes and kept coming back to Kihei Sands as being the right choice.

What makes this property unique

We are right ON the beach! No need to cross a street and carry your belongings. You can hear the ocean at night from your bedroom and you are mere steps away from your front door and into the ocean. For those who seek a quiet and intimate escape, Unit A6 offers the perfect balance of privacy and access to the beach and oceanfront amenities.
