In line with other reviews. Beautiful property. Room has everything you need. It’s not fancy or over the top, but comfortable and spacious. Having the sports equipment and other extras saves so much time and money. We used snorkel gear, yoga mats, kayak, life jackets, and other common area amenities. Birds in the sanctuary are insane…it was like a bird orchestra every morning and evening! Pool and hot tub clean and nice.

Lovely Location, view and people

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. The accomodations were perfect. We had a gorgeous yard right at the beach. Lots of other beaches nearby, and many restaurants. Also easy to travel from there around the island. The hot tub and soaking pool were wonderful! Thank you! Love love the motion hula lamp!

Great place, highly recommend it!!!

Great place to stay if you like beaches, sunsets and sea turtles! Quiet and great kitchen if you like to cook for yourself. If we end up heading to Maui again, we will for sure consider Aloha Aku, owners and property managers were very nice and helpful, plus all the fun stuff (i..e., paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel great, bikes) is already onsite for you to use. Not top of the line stuff, but it's easy to get and already included. Great place to stay!

Mahalo!!!-Hula Suite

This property is great if you want a laid back, well-maintained, beautiful place to stay. The Hula Suite was a great place to retreat to after a day adventuring on Maui. Located in Kihei it was closer to more economic dining options than say Lahaina or Wailea. The beach is beautiful and as mentioned in other reviews, not very crowded. Char and Gary who on the property and live there as well where very prompt and responsive at resolving any requests or concerns guests may have. Their website is excellent for describing the property and there were no surprises upon arrival.

Aloha Aku - Maui Paradise

My husband and I stayed in the Hula Suite, which is next to the wetland reserve area. Each morning & evening we were treated to the music of the birds. The picture is a accurate depiction of Aloha Aku's location - literally right on the beach. No need to rent any rec equipment, because Aloha Aku has it for FREE. You won't find a better value for your vacation dollar. We will be back.

Top notch

What a peaceful and beautiful spot away from the crowds but in close proximity to the essentials. A lovely property with everything you would need. Great communication from the hosts... we arrived at the wrong gate (went too far) and within seconds we were able to connect with them and get turned around. Upon arrive your fridge was stocked with fresh fruit and baked goods!!! Bed was extremely comfortable.... my husband Pat bonded with the geese! Would stay again in a heartbeat!! Thank you!

Romantic. Quiet. Beautiful. Comfortable. Doesn't get better

If we could offer 6 stars, we would! Char and Gary have created the ultimate romantic and relaxed destination. Why book an uncomfortable room in a giant highrise, when you can have luxury in a more private setting? Aloha Aku is the most beautiful site. The view from your Lanai will be worth a million dollars - perfectly West facing for stunning Sunsets!! The soaking pool and hot tub is a perfect way to end your day after snorkeling or stand up paddle boarding. The units are impeccably apportioned, completely private, and cannot be closer to the quiet beach. The owners provide free stand up paddle boards, beach cruser bikes, snorkel gear, beach towels, reef shoes, and body boards - we figure we saved over $400 for the week from rentals. Aloha Aku is a beautiful site. The view from your Lanai will be worth a million dollars! The fresh fruit, juices, and pastries provided for breakfast are a nice touch. This was the best vacation (actually honeymoon) we could have imagined and we are already planning our schedule to re-book. You should book Aloha Aku too...just don't pick our week ;-)

Perfect Stay

My husband and I had a lovely stay here. The property is so well maintained and in a great location in walking distance to a grocery store, restaurants, and such. The back yard is beautiful and perfect for sitting on your own private lanai for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. It faces west so you get the best sunset views. Staff was incredibly communicative and kind. The community room has everything you might need, including a fridge of leftover booze from previous tenants that are free for the taking. Highly recommend!

THE only place to stay in Maui!

Initially I chose this location for it's central location. But the need to go anywhere was quickly alleviated. We did, it was our first time on the island. But we could've stayed on site the whole time. All of the toys were excellent. Teres was just amazing, always available and even through unforseen complications kept our stay so amazingly comfortable. We are fans for life!! When we travel back, there is only one place we will stay. You should do the same, you will be in awe of the views, convenience, and comfort.

Great location!

PROS: great communication with owners, easy check in/out, clean, location close to shopping & restaurants, easy beach access, on-site laundry with supplies, well stocked kitchen & bathroom, beautiful sunsets, no bugs, private patio CONS: look at pictures carefully because there is a cut out between the bedroom & kitchen area and also the bathroom walls do not extend to ceiling- so no true privacy, hooks & shower caddy mounted very high in shower OVERALL: Would recommend to others and would stay here again

Wonderful!!

Our stay was amazing. The one thing I could have mentioned was that our back patio lights were not working and my girlfriend and I wanted to eat dinner outside. But I let our host know and she said she has been trying to get an electrician out to fix the issue and she would do her best to get one out and have it fixed. When we got back that evening they had set up candles for us on the back patio AND the lights were fixed. We enjoyed everything about our stay. THANK YOU!

Private and Perfect

We enjoyed our 6 night stay at Aloha Aku very much. It’s a great location for day trips all over the Island. This location is more than just a home base for vacation. The beach is right outside your door and there is a beautiful sunset over the ocean every night. It is clean and comfortable and the owners and workers are very nice. They had everything we needed including beach chairs, towels and even a cooler. It was wonderful. Next time we come back to Maui we will stay here again! Mahalo!

The perfect spot to relax or explore!

My wife and I found Ahola AKU to be the perfect little sanctuary for our honeymoon in Maui! The property was beautiful and serene, with easy access to the beach! The amenities were easily accessible and great for anyone who likes be travel independently. We found that being in Kihei was great to access different parts of the island by car, which was great as we loved exploring some of the more out of the way spots. Great (proactive) support from the staff, who were happy make suggestions and point out things we would have otherwise overlooked. Will definitely come back to Aloha AKU for our next visit to Maui!

Serenely situated

The location is great, the grounds are lovely, and the unit is up to date. A nice stay with friendly folks on site. As a note to anyone who may be working out of this location - the wifi signal is very spotty. While it said there was strong signal, it could not support a single video call during my week here. The wifi connectivity is stronger, however, in the main common area, if you need it.

Hidden Treasure

My husband and I had the best time in Maui and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! Steps away from the beach in Kihei, it was breathtaking...I enjoyed a cup of coffee every morning on the lanai and we watched the beautiful sunset almost every night. This will definitely be the place the stay, when we come back to Maui!

Island bliss

Charlene and Gary’s place was absolute bliss. We were looking for a few days of peace and quiet before joining family on the other side of the island and Aloha Aku more than delivered. The suite was spotless, had every accommodation you could ask for, and more than anything was quiet and tranquil. The beach in front was the perfect place to relax and enjoy sunset. I will be counting the days until we can return for a longer stay. Now that we are at a larger resort with family and large crowds, I am missing this spot sorely! Do not hesitate a minute and book this lovely gem while you can!
