Best Beaches! Remodeled End Unit for Luxury and Privacy
Welcome to our Aloha Kahakai vacation retreat in beautiful South Maui!
Relax your normal daily lives away with a quarter-mile-long crescent of safe, lifeguarded, sandy beach with gentle surf, flanked by dramatic rocky points teeming with tropical fish and turtles--where is this slice of paradise? Right across the street from your stylish and spacious 2-bedroom/2-bath condo! No need to load the family in the car: just grab the cooler, beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels (all provided in your unit) and walk to some of the best swimming and snorkeling on Maui! Kamaole II Beach is one of only three lifeguarded, designated swimming beaches in Kihei; if you want to do more than gaze at the ocean from a distance, this is the place to be!
With personal touches and thoughtful upgrades you will feel like an honored house guest. Vacation in style enjoying the luxurious remodel, this very spacious unit is on the first floor (one up from ground floor) of the coveted D Building--an end unit with whispering palm fronds surrounding it providing exceptional privacy and quiet at the far end of the building.
The heart of the remodel is the gleaming kitchen with its expansive granite counters and full granite backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, cherry cabinets outfitted with the latest features, all stainless steel appliances, and the new curved eating bar with stainless pendant lighting and added seating.
Freshly tiled floors in the bedrooms are complimented by the new ceramic tile floors throughout the rest of the unit and designer paint set off by white millwork and six-panel interior doors. The kitchen is charmingly open to the living area, making entertaining irresistible, especially with the inclusion of the over-sized lanai open on two sides to the tropical breezes. The two bathrooms were luxuriously updated to include designer tile and granite countertops. Four ceiling fans in bedrooms and living area keep those breezes moving, but there's also an air conditioner if needed. Halogen track lights add drama in the kitchen and gracious entry hall. In-unit washer/dryer keeps beachwear easily clean, and there is convenient access to the reserved parking just outside the door.
Newer twin beds in the second bedroom and a queen sofa sleeper in the living room add ample room for an extended family or two or three couples...room to sleep six if desired. A desk and cable hookup plus wi-fi offer space for your laptop connection to the complimentary high-speed internet, Smart TVs in the living room and master bedroom, all provided for your additional pleasure...that is, if you can tear yourself away from the romantic tropical landscaping, two pools with barbecue grills, tennis/pickleball court, and the five-minute stroll down to fabulous Kamaole II Beach and the nearby shops and restaurants.

Communication and check in was simple. The location of the condo was ideal for walking to the beach or a short drive to many other sights. We enjoyed the nicer toiletries after a day in the sun and sand. Great place to stay.

We love the location as well! Thank you for staying at our beach getaway!! Glad you had a great time and hope you can return soon!
The property was nice. I wish there had been a little more communication on the AC. There is a window unit in the living room and floor fans. Keeping the windows open does cool it down but made it very humid and sticky. Overall a great place for our family of 4.
We really enjoyed our stay at Kihei Akahi! It fit our family of five (3 being teenagers) really well and was the perfect home away from home. It's within walking distance of a great beach, many shops and some yummy eateries. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Yay! That makes us so happy to hear that you all had such a great time!! Mahalo nui loa for choosing us and we hope you get to return again soon!
Our time here was great. The best thing about it was the location. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within a couple minutes walk. And then there's the beach. First, it's across the street! To make it even better, it's clean, not super crowded, and the waves are pretty gentle. The apartment is really nice and comfortable. I was impressed with the kitchen. Plenty of room and newer appliances. I would happily stay here again.

I'm so glad you all enjoyed your stay in our Maui getaway! You are such a great Son to make your Mom's dream come true by taking her on this trip! Mahalo nui loa for all the kind words, we hope you all can return again soon!!
This is a very nice place. The condo had everything we needed including chairs, umbrellas, and towels for the beach across the street from the the complex. The kitchen has lots of options for cooking and plenty of space. The main living area is large and nicely furnished and the lanai is also large and very nice, and it is shaded until mid-afternoon. The bedrooms and baths are as described. The unit is accessible to a walker or mobility scooter. The step-in shower has a threshold you have to step over. We rented a shower chair from Akamai. You can walk to Coconuts for fish tacos, the Cinnamon Roll Place, and a coffee and ice cream shop right next door, We will return.

This unit is across the street from a fabulous beach with great snorkeling and gentle waves and the property has two pools and tennis courts! It was appointed with everything we could have needed for a great vacation and the property owner's communication of all the details was excellent. Thanks for such a great stay!
This was a great location for us, easy to explore all of Maui from here, also many places to eat within walking distance as well as within shirt driving distance. Condo was exactly as described & had everything we needed. Hosts were great, easy to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Zack Johnson
Zack & Cristina met in 2009, married in 2011. We have two amazing Daughters that are the light of our lives. Cristina, is a School Psychologist helping special needs children and I am a Real Estate Broker. We work hard and sacrifice throughout the year so it's always exciting to visit paradise in Maui.
Why they chose this property
My Wife & I took our first major trip together to Kihei where I proposed to her atop of Haleakalā Volcano during the final sunrise of 2010. We have visited most of the other islands over the years and Maui, specifically Kihei, has always been where our hearts truly are. We fell in love with this condo because of it's ideal location being steps to the beach, eateries, shops and everything we would need on a vacation.
What makes this property unique
We love the beautifully done updates which make our vacations feel luxurious and effortless. We love catching the trade winds on the lanai while enjoying the amazingly landscaped grounds.
