About this property
OceanViewStudio, Full-Size W/D, Dishwasher, 55"TV, Hotel-Zoned, Beach across St,
This is a one of a kind, quiet, and gorgeous Studio; professionally decorated with Pier1 Furnishings and Local Artwork. New paint, tasty decor, and an Ocean/Garden view, create a soothing, colorful, and pleasant way to unwind at the end of the day. Split AC, keeps you cool when the tradewinds rarely stop, but there's almost always a great island breeze permeating the condo. Being a corner unit, there are twice as many windows for those who want natural ventilation. I fixed it up to MY tastes and lived in it for a couple years, so it is not the typical vacation rental. It really feels like home with quality amenties instead of cheap disposable touristy furnishings. There's (2) Swimming Pools, each with (2) Gas BBQ grills. - The large pools offer hours of tanning, swimming, and outdoor cooking with friends and family. Lots of chaise lounges and a shower provided at the pools, as well as beach towels from the condo. The Tennis-Pickleball court is also popular. A dedicated parking stall is included.
This condo is hotel-zoned.
Newly remodeled Full Kitchen and Bathroom offer a Full-Sized Fridge, Dishwasher, LG Full-Sized Washer/Dryer (instead of the tiny Thin-Twin Stacked ones that won't accommodate a bedspread), Microwave, Gas Stove\Oven, Coffee Maker, Rice Cooker, and all the cooking and serving wares you'll need. The lanai provides a great place to enjoy your dinner and glass of wine, or that morning cup of coffee while you awaken to the delightful sounds of the many species of tropical birds, with a gentle, medicinal breeze. Ocean View, and Lush Tropical Foliage can be enjoyed from the Lanai, and a view of the West Maui Mtns. Serta Perfect Sleeper Queen Bed will provide hours of much needed sleep a long flight or all-day Whale Watching Dinner Cruise. Year round average 85 Degree temps will bask you in warmth and make you forget all your troubles as soon as you put away your belongings. Everything you'll need is here, so just bring something to swim in, or play pickleball in. Many great shops and restaurants are super close by if you'd like to sample some Hawaiian culinary treats, or add to your wardrobe. The Shops of Wailea are 5 minutes away, as well as World Class Golf Courses. Any activity you can imagine is readily available too.
Super Fast-Internet and Cable TV are provided. Double-paned Solid Windows & Doors keep noise and dirt out and the cool air in. No Jalousie windows. Custom Entertainment Ctr/Closet/Drawers offer ample storage for your belongings, and is built to perfectly house the TV.
Come to Maui. You won't find a more affordable and memorable place to stay, or desirable vacation Mecca. Romance abounds on Maui. You won't need to search for your favorite getaway destination, ever again. Mahalo, Daniel

Very cozy and well kept space with elevated appliances and furnishings that provided me with a great space to get some quiet rest, take leisurely strolls to get groceries/supplies/meals, and get to the beach for some lovely morning walks and gorgeous evening sunsets. Daniel was kind and clear in communications, and respectful of my privacy. Would love to stay again.

Great location with everything I needed for a low-stress beach vacation as a solo traveler. The beach chairs and towels were appreciated. Well equipped kitchen allowed me to prepare many meals during my stay. Would definitely stay again.

Host provided small toiletries in the bathroom along with detergent for washer and soap and sponges for the kitchen. Kitchen was well equipped for any and all needs. Bed was very comfortable and great linens. Would rent again if given the opportunity.

Aloha Joshua,
Thanks very much for the review. Not many people point out the finer details as u have. I try to provide things that people would have to buy in bulk when they arrive. Vacations are spendy enough.
U were great guests and I do hope the opportunity arises again.
Mahalo!

Stocked kitchen with plenty of paper products, soaps, foil.View not so much but patio ok. Check in instructions perfect. Smaller than we thought then the photos but works for two people. Very responsive owner when I had questions.

Aloha Heidi,
Thanks for the review.
The view and size of the condo are clearly shown in the photos and descriptions, but still sad that it wasn't 5-star worthy.
You mentioned to me prior that you were a former Air BnB owner. Owners are often the most critical. Thanks for replacing the beach chair you broke. Also, since we're being critical . . . you left stains on my sheets that wouldn't wash out, so I had to buy new ones. You also left the coffee pot turned on when you left, a.potential fire hazard. It's all part of the biz. I wouldn't even have mentioned it, had you not subtracted points from my rating. Being a former owner, you are well aware of the importance of ratings. That being said, you are still welcome back again anytime.
Mahalo,
Daniel
Easy directions and awesome location, walking distance from shops, farmers market, and great restaurants. Condo was clean and perfect for our needs.

Aloha Lisa,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. And a nice one it was !
I always love when someone else points out the finer points of my condo, because I feel the same, but wonder if I'm based.
More than anything, I'm always pleased when people find things as advertised or better. Can't add an Ocean Breeze smell on a website, but lots of guests saying similar good things says a lot, so thanks!
Do come back again. You were great guests.

AC Was great. Check in was a little awkward. It would have been tough to arrive after rental office closed

Aloha,
Thanks for the review.
I am unsure about your experience at the office for registration. This is a formality they make owners do. It is mostly so they can verify who is in the unit and to issue a parking pass for your car, The office is open until 6:30 daily. It's ok to check in the following day if you miss that window. This is something out of my control and you weren't very specific as to your issue with that. However, giving me less than 5 stars effects my VRBO ratings and any problems should have been brought to my attention, so that I could address things, rather than punishing me for something I had nothing to do with. At least the AC was good.
notes:⸻We had a wonderful stay at Daniel’s condo and would definitely recommend it. From the start, Daniel was incredibly responsive and communicated clearly, providing detailed instructions before our arrival that made check-in seamless. He also made sure we had all the information we needed for parking, which was very helpful.During the Kona storms, Daniel went above and beyond by checking in and showing genuine concern for our safety, which we truly appreciated.The condo itself is a cozy studio that was spotless and felt very homey. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking tools, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bathroom had plenty of towels. The bed was especially comfortable, which made relaxing during the stormy weather even better.Since we ended up spending quite a bit of time indoors due to the storms, we really appreciated how comfortable and inviting the space was. The location is also a big plus, with several restaurants within easy walking distance.Overall, a great experience with a thoughtful host—we would happily stay here again!

This was the perfect condo for our stay. There were two of us and we found it was just enough room for us and our stuff. It was very easy to find the place as well as check in. Perfect location for all activities and dining. Kitchen was also fully stocked with anything you would need.

Our host Daniel was very welcoming and provided all the information we needed to check in and check out quickly, which helped us have less stress when arriving and departing. The room was clean, had a suitable air conditioner, and was as described online, so we really enjoyed our stay. It is at a great location as it is within walking distance to some beaches, shops and restaurants, and is within short driving distance for most activities on the island of Maui. We had a fantastic time!
Studio was great! Very good communication with host.

Everything was as stated. We loved the location. Easy access to the beach, places to eat, places to purchase supplies. Daniel was so easy to work with. Loved the beach chairs and umbrella which made out beach day so much more enjoyable. Although we didn't do any cooking, it was well stocked if we had chosen to go that route.

I had a great stay. The condo in a great location, south end of Kihei, easy to get in an out of and quick to the highway. The unit had all the essentials, plus beach towels, chairs, etc. Easy walk to the beach park, lots of restaurant options within a 10 minute walk.
This was our first time visiting Kihei, and Daniel's place was just what we were hoping for! Centrally located to the beach, shops, and restaurants, but also quiet & peaceful for our re-charging time at home. A lovely studio that we would be happy to visit in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Daniel Weirich
At one time I owned 3 condos in this Kihei Akahi complex. I did the short-term rental thing for about 14 years before selling 2 of them. I kept this studio because it out-rented all 3. After Covid, I moved into it myself for a couple years, so I added lots of upgrades for my own enjoyment. I trust you'll appreciate them too!
Why they chose this property
Kihei Akahi has long been established as one, if not THE finest complex in South Kihei. Beautifully landscaped grounds, lush foliage, tennis courts ( I used to be semi-good YEARS ago), very clean units, pools, spacious parking, and great security. Right across the street from the finest Beaches in South Maui and very near great shopping and restaurants.
What makes this property unique
Many people comment on their love for the tropical birds that come alive when the sun comes up in the morning. Nature's own alarm clock. Much better than the one that gets you up for work every day back home. Some unique features and major upgrades not found in most condos in the complex are . . . Solid Windows and Doors (no jalousies), Spilt AC (only studio in the complex with this), Dishwasher (very few Studios have one), Custom Closet/Drawers/Entertainment Ctr (most units have sliding mirrored closet doors) - built to house the LG 55" 4K Smart TV. Full-Size LG Washer/Dryer (most units, even 1&2 BR's, have the tiny stacked Whirlpool W/D's which won't wash a bedspread or more than a few beach towels at once).
