Hale Kai O Kihei oceanfront rentals

Our first stay at Maui was an absolute blast! The place had stunning ocean views, super clean and comfy beds, and everything you could ever need. It was right on the beach, so we could go for walks and check out the shops, restaurants, cafes, and food trucks. It was well-stocked and well-maintained, even though it looked a bit older on the outside. But inside, it was a lovely place to relax and enjoy the view. It was just the right size for our family of three with two bedrooms with attached baths.

Pragmatic and great location

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! It was gorgeous, spotless, and tastefully decorated—super comfortable for the week we were there. The kitchen had everything we needed for light meals, plus thoughtful extras like a Brita pitcher, insulated to-go cups, and guidebooks. The basket of beach towels and beach chairs was a great touch, and the binoculars for whale watching were a fun surprise. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was really convenient, though there are also machines downstairs.The building itself is quiet, and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. One of our favorite moments was walking along the beach our first afternoon and coming across two giant sea turtles basking in the sun. Sunsets from the balcony (or the beach) are unbeatable.The location in Kihei was perfect—close to restaurants, stores, and plenty of beautiful beaches. The beach right in front of the condo was great for morning and evening walks, and while the water isn’t the clearest, it didn’t take away from our experience at all. Some days we stayed put, and other days we explored nearby beaches for snorkeling. Wailea is just a short drive away, Lahaina about 30 minutes, and central Maui about 20.Honestly, nothing we’d change. We’d absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at Hale Kai O’Kihei. The owner has thought of our every need, from kitchen accessories to beach towels. Better yet, the views of the ocean, sunsets and sunrises were unsurprised. The location was perfect: right on the water, within walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores, and in a quiet neighborhood. The other tenants and guests were friendly and helpful, but not intruding. There were washing facilities on site, and we never had to wait to use them. I would definitely stay there again.

As a seasoned Maui visitor, I've stayed in many places, but this oceanfront gem in Kihei stands out. Waking up to the beautiful ocean view each morning is a delightful way to start the day. The sunsets, directly visible from the balcony, are truly magical. The apartment is impeccably clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making my stay even more pleasant. If you're looking for a serene and comfortable stay in Maui, this is an excellent choice.

Perfect location, condo and beach. Attention to detail in every way, from checking in to checking out. The condo had everything you need for a perfect stay. Newly renovated and furnished!

My husband and I stayed after getting married in Wailea. The communication with our hosts was great, we were happily impressed by the condo all around— everything we may need was there and then some. The neighbors were friendly, and there were love birds gathering everyday in front of the patio which was an adorable sight. Everything I like for a comfortable stay, this place had. Bed, water pressure, a/c all as advertised and better. The view was beautiful, would definitely stay again. Thank you Joseph and Roopa!

On my flight to Maui, I was chatting with an older gentleman who lives on the island. Multiple times he warned me “don’t fall in love”. I responded politely, but thought to myself “yeah, yeah. I live in South Florida. Beautiful women are a dime a dozen”. The moment I arrived at the Hale Kai O Kihei property, opened the blinds and stepped out onto the balcony, I immediately realized the old man was not warning me about falling in love with a woman, he was warning me about falling in love with the island. The property was perfect. Zero complaints. Read all the other 5 star reviews if you want to learn about property. Kihei is the perfect little town. It has small town vibes with a slight tourist influence. No major tourist traps here. All along the SW coast is perfect for experiencing Maui’s tropical waters. Surfing and kayaking in Kihei and world class shore diving in Wailea-Makena. Clear water full of beautiful coral and curious marine life. Sea turtles galore. These waters put the Florida Keys to shame. My main purpose for this review is to let people know MAUI IS OPEN. The island cries for Lahaina. The town is destroyed, but it’s a very small area. The rest of Maui is drowning as the media scares tourist away from the island. Come visit. Experience the magic for yourself. But I have you warn you, don’t fall in love.
