About this property

Penthouse Ocean View - Deluxe Remodel - Awesome View

Tax ID: 118-781-5424-01

Welcome to Kauhale Makai ("Village by the Sea"), one of Maui's premier oceanfront condominium resorts.

Unit #630 is widely regarded as one of the best one-bedroom locations in the complex, offering breathtaking penthouse-level views from the sixth (top) floor. With no parking lot views or traffic noise, you'll enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay with unobstructed ocean views from nearly every room.

This beautifully appointed one-bedroom, one-bath condominium features a comfortable king-size bed, central air conditioning, and tasteful furnishings throughout. Because the unit is on the top floor, there are no guests above you, ensuring a quieter vacation experience. An elevator provides convenient access to the unit.

The spacious bedroom includes a king bed, elegant bamboo flooring, a 55 in flat-screen TV, and soft overhead lighting to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The living room features a comfortable sleeper sofa and a 60-inch HD flat-screen TV, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Maui.

The recently remodeled kitchen is one of the highlights of the condo. Unlike many units in the complex, the original half wall has been removed to create an open-concept layout with panoramic ocean views while cooking or dining at the breakfast bar. The renovation includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, modern appliances, and thoughtfully designed lighting that enhances both the kitchen and dining areas.

Step onto the private lanai from either the living room or the bedroom and enjoy spectacular ocean views, seasonal whale watching, stunning sunsets, and unforgettable stargazing. The lanai is uniquely equipped with dimmable lighting, creating the perfect setting for a romantic evening meal while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Pacific.

The beach is just a short 100-foot walk across the beautifully maintained oceanfront lawn. Kauhale Makai is known for its lush tropical landscaping, friendly staff, and outstanding amenities, making it an ideal destination.

To ensure the property remains safe, well-maintained, and up to date, occasional maintenance or construction projects may take place within the complex. Work schedules are managed by the property management and are not provided to individual owners in advance.

Whether you're watching whales from your lanai, enjoying the ocean breeze, or simply relaxing in this beautifully updated condominium, Unit #630 offers everything you need for an unforgettable Maui vacation.

Excellent property and a wonderful stay! Laurie was incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had and made everything so easy from start to finish. The condo was very well stocked with extra towels, sheets, and even beach equipment, which was such a nice bonus.This was honestly one of the easiest check-in and check-out experiences we’ve ever had with a VRBO. We arrived late and after dealing with several detours from recent flooding, Laurie’s directions were spot on and extremely helpful. We had no trouble finding the property.The office staff was beyond welcoming, and the complex itself was full of friendly people. The location was perfect — close to great beaches, restaurants, and also perfect for relaxing by the pool. We would absolutely stay here again!

Loved our stay! Free parking, beach chairs and best stocked kitchen supplies we have ever had in a condo. It is an older condo, so not perfect. But great space for a couple! And room and dishes to entertain. Family came from their $$$$ hotel for the sunset. Would stay again.

Great place/great view!

Great view of the West Maui Mountains and the pool and putting green. Close to shopping, food trucks and restaurants. Walkable beach 100+ yards away with tennis and pickleball courts right next door. Windy in the PM, but the BBQ grills work despite that and it's a good way to meet new people. Minor problem with the TV was handled right away. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

A Jewel

The unit was really nice, we didn't need anything as it was well stocked with shampoo, soap, etc. Gorgeous view. The unit was hard to find as there are two 6 story buildings. I would suggest that information about which building (The Plumeria) be added to the VRBO information. The office was not easy to find either. It's actually located on the south side of the building but no signs to the office. We had more difficulty because we didn't arrive until 11:00 pm. The unit is in a perfect location with a lot of great restaurants nearby. We would definitely recommend this particular VRBO.

Lovely beachside condo in a quiet part of Kihei

We loved our week at Kauhale Makai! The unit itself was exactly as described and photographed in the VRBO listing. Several reviews mentioned a well-stocked kitchen - for those who like to know details, that included a drip coffee maker, a water filter, grilling tools for the community grills, tupperwares, ice trays in the freezer, dish soap, and some oil/vinegar/shoyu/spices leftover from past guests. There was also plenty of toilet paper and extra linens for bath and bed, and the TV is a smart TV that can connect to your apps.The furnishings are very classy and in excellent condition. That really made us feel at home while sitting around the living areas during our lazy holiday. The grounds at Kauhale Makai are beautiful with a large lawn leading to the beach, two pools and a hot tub. Over Christmas it was lively (in a fun, non-disruptive way) among the guests and owners! The beach was never crowded and the water was very clear and calm. We found the surrounding neighborhood challenging to walk in as there aren't pedestrian-friendly sidewalks in the surrounding blocks or along the route to the grocery store and shopping/restaurant areas. Hawai'i is very car-centric but given that the area is full of beachside condos I was a little surprised at the pedestrian inaccessibility.We would absolutely book Laurie's unit at Kauhale Makai again, and have already recommended it to friends! Mahalo nui loa for a lovely vacation!

Filthy Condo with Beautiful View...defensive host!

After a long flight, car rental scene and a trip Costco for groceries for two weeks in Kihei, we headed off to the condo we booked 6 months prior. Upon opening the front door we discovered that the condo had not been cleaned. I called the cleaning person on our instruction sheet. He was unaware that we were coming; he told me he would call me back in 5 min. and hung up. We waited, unable to bring up our bags and food from the hot car. After 20 min. and no call I called our host Laurie Neff. She was surprised and apologetic. She told us this has only happened 4 times in the last 14 years. She text the cleaner, he then called back and said he could “bang it out” in 40 minutes. We told him to please take his time as it was a mess. He sent a text saying that there was too much laundry and we wouldn’t get clean bath or beach towels until the next day! At least we can un pack the car and bring in our groceries. Laurie called to check back, I told her it looked good and that we were settling in. Upon further inspection though I discovered that the cleaner had done a very cursory job. The bed was made, fridge cleaned out, floor swept, not mopped, dishwasher run, table tops wiped down. In the bathroom the toilet had been cleaned, tub rinsed, not scrubbed, rust stained. There was an all over grunginess that still existed. The doors and knobs were sticky and stained. The bathroom was the worst. The caulking around the tub was black with wet sticky mold, so were the corners of the bathroom floor and tracks of the shower door. There was hair in the mold. bathroom rug..filthy! This wasn’t a one off poor cleaning; this is months of neglect. We were exhausted, it was after 11:00pm and I thought it more prudent to buy a bottle of bleach and do it myself. We were not willing to wait and monitor the cleaner while he re-did his job. There were many other cleaning disappointments and smells, an open junction box w/exposed wire, no cable in the living room, wrong internet code info, the living room slider screen fell off, broken equipment, sheets so old/worn they wouldn’t stay on the bed. I text Laurie re: broken equipment, she asked if there were other issues, I told her everything and sent photos, I asked for a few days credit. I didn’t get an answer for 3 days. then I received a long defensive email from her, she said because we got a deal on rent due to some exterior work being done that we should be satisfied. She begrudgingly refunded our cleaning fee.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr, 2020
I am so sorry that you felt that we were defensive and that the condo was not up to your standards. I think that we both had different views of the situation that transpired as well as our conversations with one another. As an owner of vacation rentals for 16 years, it is and has been my main objective to have my guests in the best well maintained condo I can offer and receive immediate attention to any matter that may affect their stay. This was the 1st time in 16 years the condo was not ready for a guest. Not living on the island myself I have to put my trust into my cleaning crew to clean the unit on time. This was the first time that they had accidently read the schedule incorrectly. Once you notified us that the unit had not been cleaned our cleaning crew ran over there immediately. We knew this was an inconvenience to you and immediately told you we would be refunding the $150 cleaning fee. The cleaning crew left you clean towels and linens from another unit for that night so that you didn’t have to be inconvenienced any longer and could enjoy the rest of your night, then returned the next day with the rest of the new clean linens and towels for your stay. Once cleaned I received texts at 7 p.m. from both you and the cleaning crew that all was well. You had even replied that you were very happy with it and it looked very nice. I contacted you on and off thru the weeks to make sure all was well, you had no complaints. My on-island manager also stopped by at least 3 times to make sure that everything was up to your standards, you also had no complaints to him except for a few questions on the TV and WIFI. Every conversation was about how pleased you were with the condo and all its amenities. I was completely blindsided and surprised when 2 days prior to your departure (after 12 nights of being there and several conversations about how happy you were), that you were suddenly unhappy with how the condo had been cleaned and that you wanted several nights rent refunded to you. I am always happy to take care of issues as they happen to make all my guests have the best stay in our condo that they can have. I am sorry that you feel as though we didn’t refund you as much as you had wanted, but with the information that was provided to me during your stay, and our many conversations, I felt as though the refund of the cleaning fee was appropriate for the 3 hour inconvenience at the beginning of your stay.

My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience. We could have lived in the provided beach chairs (and umbrella) on the beach. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The condo had everything we needed our hostess was great and easy to work with. We liked the location as it was an easy trek from airport and a super close drive to stores/restaurants.

Perfect location!

We loved staying at this property! It had everything we needed including a cold pitcher of filtered water in the fridge upon arrival! ❤️ The view was breathtaking every morning we opened the curtains and enjoying my cup of coffee on the lanai was perfect. The location of this property was just right! It was centrally located to all the spots we wanted to go to. Only 1.5 hour away from Haleakala crater to watch the sunrise - 2.5 hours away from Hana. 35 min from Lahaina. It’s a quiet area - no loud luaus going on but lots of great restaurants and shopping - even local fruit stands just walking distance. The beach has lots of washed up dead coral on it which makes for a beach combers dream beach. Laurie was responsive when we needed her. The code to the pool is not what is listed so that does need to be updated. The laundry is coin operated but they are very close on the same floor as unit. Mahalo for an amazing home away from home.

We stayed here for 10 days, the unit is perfect and grounds and complex are great. You can walk along the beach forever, pool and park in front and south has tennis courts, etc in it. My one thing was after dark there is no where to walk, because there is no sidewalks. There is coffee only, drug store, etc only a few blocks away but you have to walk along the highway. Otherwise it was great!

Fantastic stay! Laurie was helpful both during the booking process and with questions leading up to our trip. Location is excellent in our opinion with easy access to various parts of the island. The accommodations were well-appointed and comfortable. BBQs were a little finicky but we managed. All-in-all an excellent trip over the holidays for our family of four and we plan to return as soon as we can. Mahalo Laurie!
