Let's be frank: with recent disasters and the economy, Maui needs visitors! What better way to help the island recover than by visiting this tropical paradise? Our 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo, will give you a chance to relax and with our spring-into-summer rate (through September!), you'll be able to devote your hard-earned vacation savings to exploring Maui and its many eateries and attractions like the Maui Ocean Center. You can also buy your own groceries and eat-in, thanks to our fully-equipped kitchen.

This condo the beautiful grounds of Kihei Akahi (legal and resort-zoned) is the ideal home-away-from-home. Make it your base for exploring the beautiful Valley Isle: from the 'Iao Valley to the Up-Country ranchland; from prime surfing spots at Pa'ia to the spectacular Hana Highway to the mystical Haleakala -- the dormant volcano rising up literally from Kihei's back yard.

The Kama'ole reefs and Molokini, make for a snorkeller's paradise! Spend time hovering over colorful, exotic fish, and maybe even track an octopus! (Just stay away from the reefs and the sea urchins!)

Check out some of the many diverse eateries on Maui, from creative food trucks, to fast-food chains, right up to the elegant Cafe O'Lei and the uber-pricey (but SO worth it!) experience that is Mama's Fish House.

All of this is priced where a family can afford it -- currently, more than 40% below that of the average hotel room (according to figures from the Hawai'i Tourism Authority).

Grandson in Maui

This was my grandson’s first trip to Maui & we were very happy with our Kihei Akahi accommodations. Great communication with Drew & Amelia both prior to & during our stay. I had a problem with the outdoor shade which was quickly resolved. Location just above Kameole II is perfect with easy access to local restaurants & shops. Unit is adequately supplied with kitchen needs. Nice perk to have soaps, shampoo, laundry soap supplied as well. With the roller shade on the lanai and lots of fans barely required use of AC- & it was hot during our stay. Would stay again & recommend to friends.

Very relaxing, yet close to everything.

Very comfortable, very quiet. Easy walk to Kam II or Kam III. Reserved parking is nice. The unit had AC, but we didn’t use it. We ran the fans and kept the windows and lanai open when we were there. The lanai has a sunshade that you lower during the day to keep the direct sun out. The unit had a variety of beach chairs boogie boards, a wagon, and soft sided coolers. The coolers were great for getting fresh fish or poke, or for taking a cool beverage to the beach to toast the sunset. I walked down to the beach each morning for snorkeling, which I found better on Kam III because of the way the little waves came in. Saw many turtles there.

Location!

Kihei Akahi is one of our favourite place to stay on Maui. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, and the daily cleaning of the barbeques to pristine condition is impressive. There are so many incredible restaurants nearby, and our favourite Kihei beach is just a walk down the path/drive. The condo itself was great - so convenient to be on the first floor with no stairs or elevator to deal with! We thought the foot traffic may keep us awake at night as we are light sleepers, but it was never a problem. The bed and sofa were very comfortable, and the fans (and air flow through the condo) were enough to keep us comfortable without using the A/C. Everything we needed was clean - the bedsheets, towels, dishes, etc., but a deep cleaning would be appreciated...my husband vacuumed many little dust bunnies from the bedroom ceiling so we could use the ceiling fan without (my) fear of them falling on us. A wipe down of the door panels, closet rods, cupboards, behind the toaster, etc. would also be appreciated. It seemed there was a lot of beach gear available (that we didn't use LOL). A couple of small coolers had broken zippers, but we found a lunch kit that worked great for a half day out. Our stay was comfortable, and we met so many great people - the top pool is a great meeting place! Everything was easy, and Drew provided detailed info for both the condo and Kihei life. We look forward to staying here again. Mahalo!

Amazing location, great amenities

Communication with host was impeccable; very responsible and easy to work with. He was also flexible to allow us to extend our stay. The condo is located at an amazing place, everything is there (kitchen, nice pool, parking, wifi, very close to beach, dishwasher and even washing machine, sun chairs and umbrella, nice beach towels, etc.). I wouldn't have let an adult sleep in the sofa bed; you can feel the springs, but for a kid, it was fine. We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Highly recommend.

Amelia and Drew's condo is as exactly as described and is a well stocked condo; really a home away from home. You couldn't ask for a better location with the complex right across the street from Kamaole II beach. Added bonus was the host provided detailed information about the condo, and even recommended places to visit, eat and shop. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Wonderful Holiday

The location of the unit was wonderful and it was very comfortable. It had all the things one needed for cooking and beach supplies. The air condition was a relief during those hot days. The blind for the lanai was a great idea during the heat of the day. My only recommendation is new cushions for the two lower chairs on the lanai.

Best Location!

This Condo was just what we needed. I love the location and the grounds. This property was exactly as described.The complex is quiet, safe, peaceful and family friendly. The two pools and pickleball court were a great bonus on the complex. The Grills and pools were cleaned daily. The Beach Wagon came in handy to haul all of our beach needs to the beach. Being on the first level was also another great bonus. Easy Parking with nearby garbage and recycling. We pray that this unit will be available for our next stay at Drew and Amelia's condo.

Beautiful property and great location

Had a great stay in Kihei. The property is maintained really well and it's nice to walk around on the grounds and enjoy the plants, trees and flowers. There are 2 pools to choose from so if one is busy you can check the other. The beach across the street is really pretty and relaxing. We never had to use the A/C just left the Lanai doors open and had a great breeze blowing in day and night. The restaurants around were all delicious and convenient. Bonus was all the beach gear in the closets to use at your leisure while on the island. The local Foodland card provided helped us save money in the grocery store. Felt safe and secure as well.

Good value, nice stay with great amenities including washer and dryer, safe in closet, and smart tv. Any place with a smart tv gets five stars for me. Lots of household items available for use, though we barely used any. Great places to get takeout in Kihei. This unit is on the second floor and provides good security for travelers. Ocean view, though small, from the living room and balcony. Bring your own toiletries as shampoo and body wash are not provided. A/C works well, but doesn’t reach the bedroom. Also bring disposable house slippers if you take shoes off in the house.

Phenomenal Stay

I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Maui! Drew and Amelia were easy to work with, and always responded quickly to communication. The suggestions they had for resources, activities, etc. around their location was helpful. The location is phenomenal! Directly across from the beach, you can easily visit it everyday, and the condo has some essential gear for that. If the beach isn’t your thing, the complex has two pools with plenty of seating. There’s also BBQ’s available for use, and they were cleaned every morning by staff (we saw this, not just what we were told). There were only two complaints, and neither were any fault of Drew or Amelia. Upon arrival, there’s was a significant amount of dust collected in a stand up fan in the bedroom and behind the headboard. I’ve passed this issue on, and they’ve notified their cleaning crew, so I have no concerns that it’ll be corrected. The other is simply a part of the building design (which obviously Drew and Amelia don’t have any control). There are windows in the bedroom that face the front walkway of the building. These windows (and/or thin walls) make it easy to hear everything going on outside. The complex does have quiet hours from 10pm-8am, but there were a couple times it was bothersome (like people talking loudly or the garbage truck that came Saturday morning at 7:30am). Those however were only minor inconveniences, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book the condo again. Hopefully I’ll get to visit Maui again sooner rather than later, and do just that!

Kihei stay

We had a three night stay in Kihei prior to getting our timeshare up in Napili. All was as explained in the advertisement and the location to the beach and dining, etc..was wonderful! Even a sweet little view of the sun setting! You def. need to run the AC in the living room window for a good portion of the day, so we were thankful for that. The bed was big & comfy but there is Very little room between the bed frame and the dresser - the frame corners kind of stick out and we both hit them and it Hurts! So just be aware - nothing you can do about it and doesn’t diminish the niceness of the rental.

Convenient & Comfortable

The condo fit our lifestyle well. We're out and about all day, and like to fix simple dinners for ourselves at the end of the day. The living area was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Because of the buildings layout the bedrooms in all the units are a bit dark and noisy. You can hear any activity in the parking lot, and from people walking to their units, nothing ear plugs can't block out.

Great Stay

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! The furnishings are great and you can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes. There are also many restaurants and souvenir shops within walking distance. The apartment is the perfect size for two people. It may be a bit tight with more. There is no closet space for clothes but the closet is FULL of beach necessities! Towels, beach chairs, umbrella, toys, snorkels - you name it. There is only one AC unit (not central air) in the living room. It was late afternoon when we arrived and all the curtains were open (facing the afternoon sun) and the AC was off, making it incredibly hot inside the unit. We left our luggage, turned on the AC, and left immediately to avoid the heat. We kept the unit cool by using the AC, ceiling fans, and standing fans (though 2 out of the 3 provided standing fans did not work. All could use a good dusting/cleaning). Having thicker or more curtains in the windows would help immensely in keeping the heat out. Overall, a great stay in a great location!

About the host

Hosted by Amelia

Amelia and Drew live in East Sooke BC (just outside Victoria), with 2 dogs and a cat. We have 5 grown children (and 4 grandkids) living across Canada and in Australia. We went to Maui to "check it out" in 2011 because some friends of ours called it "Paradise", and within a week, we had bought this place. Our friends did not over-sell it! We're both sort-of retired -- Amelia is a professional facilitator and practitioner in public consultation and engagement and Drew is a pastor, writer and recovering broadcaster.

We've come to consider Maui "home", diving into the history and culture of the place, contributing to efforts like the Maui Ocean Center and A Cup of Cold Water (a "care van" which distributes food, clothing and other essentials to the unhoused around the island); when a native Mauian introduced us to a meeting in Denver as "fellow Mauians", we knew we'd been accepted.

Over the years, we've met many wonderful people through hosting them at our place and hope you'll join those ranks!

Why they chose this property

We've seen many wonderful places in our travels around the world, but Maui is unique, for its combination of unspoilt beauty and comforts-of-home amenities. We had initially looked for property right on the beach, but choosing this place at Kihei Akahi -- across the street from the beach -- has allowed us to keep our rent at rates a family can afford.

This part of Kihei is eminently walkable, with restaurants at every price range, a supermarket, and shopping and other features within a mile -- a flat mile, too!

And, of course, there's the beach: it's not connected to any resort; dedicated lifeguards are on the job seven days a week, and people of all shapes and sizes -- with their families! -- love it for hanging out, swimming, shore-based whale-watching, and dodging turtles!

What makes this property unique

View - CHECK.
Beach access - CHECK.
Pool - CHECK.
Walkability: that became one of our top criteria for any place we would buy, this place has that. We walk to the beach in the morning to swim, then walk the length of the beach and come back via the road. You can walk to some neat restaurants, like Cafe O'Lei and Moose McGillicuddy's, as well as shops and 3 supermarkets. We love the farmers' markets and the weekend swap meet in Kahului is worth the drive (the Philip Soo batiks were purchased there). We also love the fact that total strangers say 'hi' on the street and that you can feel like a regular in a restaurant or bar just by coming back.
