About this property

Aloha Aku Bamboo Suite – Discover Beachfront Serenity

Summary:

Our luxury Beachfront estate has 4 beachfront one-bedroom suites and a garden view two-bedroom Ohana. Each suite has a private entrance, separate living room, full kitchen and is like having your own condo at the beach in Maui. This special place is hidden behind a private, double gated entrance, lined with 700 ft of lighted coconut palms that lure you into the feeling of leaving the world behind. But is still centrally placed in Kihei nearly all of the amenities you might desire. BBKM 2013/0002



The Space:

The Bamboo Suite takes you into the lush and green forest of Maui. Like all the Aloha Aku Suites, it offers the amenities and location to make your stay enjoyable and memorable. Drop your bags, put on some Hawaiian music, and kick back to begin your amazing stay. Pull open the glass slider and step onto your private lanai. Sit down and enjoy the ocean view across the beautiful grassy area or grab a glass of wine and head down to the beach for a sunset experience. Maui is calling you.



The total number of guests is limited to up to two adult guests and up to two minor guests per bedroom. As we are an adult-centric property, pre-approval for minors 13 years old or younger is required before booking.



We are not currently providing breakfast. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions.



In the suite, you can catch up on your favorite sports team on the HD-LCD TV via DirecTV, and you have access to numerous land and water sports amenities to make your stay on the property beyond relaxing. It's your vacation, and you should have it "your way."



Each Beachfront Suite has a King bed with a pillow top in the private bedroom and private bath area, a separate living room, a fully loaded kitchen, and a covered private lanai.



AlohaAKU Inn & Suites is a tucked away, one-of-a-kind vacation gem. Our luxury beachfront estate has four beachfront one-bedroom suites and a garden-view two-bedroom ohana (family suite). Each suite has a private entrance and is like having your own condo at the beach on Maui. This unique property is hidden behind a private, double-gated entrance, lined with 700 feet of lighted coconut palms that lure you into the feeling of leaving the world behind. Yet it is still centrally placed in Kihei, near all of the amenities you might desire! Part of the lawn stretching out towards the beach is county-owned and open to the public, but the protected wetlands beside us help create more privacy and a sense of seclusion.



Guest Access:

Your e-arrival/text packet will be sent 7 days before you arrive on property. We may be offsite so to ensure that you can get in please REVIEW the easy to follow driving directions, parking and self-check-in instructions (including entry codes and amenities).

Paradise!!!

We spent 14 amazing days in this beautiful condo! Kihei is the best town on Maui and this is the best place to stay! I was able to fully disengage with the real world and relax in this beautiful beach front condo. The condo was very clean and I enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio while enjoying the beautiful view. The spa was amazing. They thought of all the amenities from breakfast food to everything for kayaking, surfing, snorkeling, beach chairs, coolers, towels, and games. Kihei is centrally located on Maui so that anywhere we wanted to go is a half hour away. I can't wait to go back to Maui and I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful paradise! Thanks Gary and Char for making our vacation a great experience.

Perfect place for a wedding!

I don't even know where to begin! This is the PERFECT place for a small wedding! My family and I rented out the whole place for several days. The rooms are so comfortable that everyone RAVED about the mattresses and overall accommodations (and I have some picky family members!). The view is among the best I saw on the island and, if you can believe it, even better than the photos. The entire place is just beautiful! Char and Gary are so sweet without being too involved. They have included so many extras I could not name them if I tried. It's obvious they have done lots of traveling and have thought of all the things they had wished they had on their travels and have provided them for us. In short, if you are looking for paradise, this is it. If you are waiting for a catch (I was), there is none I found. Also, a note about Kihei, it is wonderful. I so preferred to the more touristy areas and won't stay anywhere else. Can't wait to come by. Thanks Char and Gary for all you did for my wedding and for having opening up your gorgeous property at such an affordable rate!

Perfect!

This property is a great and beautiful spot to stay in Maui if you want relaxation and quiet. Very pretty and ALL you need for a great stay. Great sunsets right here with beautifully manicured lawn. Gated with long beautiful lighted driveway. A common hottub and small pool area. Beach is not big but perfect if you dont want to go to area public beaches. In the commons area are chairs, umbrellas, floats, extra towels, extra stuff for kitchen use, books, games, DVDs, you name it. They provide you with just about everything in each room as well. There was a Keurig, a small cooler, towels for the beach, etc. Even a luggage weighing tool! A safe is in the closet as well. And then when you leave they don’t make you jump through hoops. It was, over all, perfect. Nothing fancy. Just great to have all you need. Two washers and dryers for all guests never was an issue. I washed several loads while there. Even a gas grill with kitchen tools. The ducks and a litter of baby ducks kept us entertained when walking to the car each day. It was the cutest. The managers/owners are on site so if you did need anything, you’re covered. I would stay here again. Kehei is a good location. Lots of beaches. Only 4 miles to Wailea which is so upscale and great and about 35 minutes to Lahaina (great little beach town vibe). Airport is 12 minutes away and going up into the “upcountry” for stuff is not far either. Hana is the only thing not close but it’s not close to anything. Mahalo!

Best place to stay with "Extended Family" in a relaxing, welcoming location

The Aloha AKU Inn is simply a wonderful place to stay. If you are looking for peace, quiet, solitude, great staff and a very comfortable place to exhale and get away from it all you have found it here. The staff are like family in the way that treat you, speak with you and generally interact with you. We felt at home and very much welcomed to our 10 day Ohana from the moment that we arrived. Therese, Jose, Wade, John, and (Later) Linda were all so very friendly and accommodating. the location is just off of South Kihei Road, but you would never know it. The beach is gorgeous and quiet with lots of sea turtles. Not a lot of small fish, or seals, so no sharks! LOL. The water is warm like a bath, and quite clear. The room was very comfortable, met all of our needs, and the Illi-Illi (Sp.?) pools with hot tub in the middle were so excellent.... another great benefit was the center common area where folks before us have left there excess amenities and supplies (Just like we did) so you may not need to go to the store for some basics! Check the cabinets and fridge first! In summary: The Aloha AKU is great place to go to so you can relax, rest, breath, and get some semblance of sanity back- but I will warn you; you may not want to leave any time soon. Thank you to all of the staff and Gary & Char for such a great 10 days. It was sorely needed. The Bartletts, Don, Kellie, Jessie, and Jamie

Absolutely stunning property, location location location

Hands down the best condos to rent in Maui in my opinion. Stones throw away from the ocean. Picture perfect sunsets from your patio. Walking distance to grocery stores and local restaurants. Short drive to the "tourists" area. Centrally located to all the typical destinations for exploring. Unit was very well equipped with all the essentials. Shared common area had alot to offer as well. Games, books, DVDs, water equipment. You name it, they have it. Laundry on site as well.

A wonderful stay at true Hawaii retreat!

The reviews were all spot on. The grounds are spotless, the house and surrounding area are so quiet, and the beach location is unbeatable. The porch lounge chairs were very relaxing after hours of snorkeling. Thanks to the owners for providing us some great local snacks on arrival and all the amenities. The only complaints were the hot tub takes over 40 min to heat, so we didn’t get to use it, the lack of basic toiletries like shampoo/conditioner, and we didn’t have cream for coffee. I would recommend this spot to anyone! We will be back.

Fantastic experience

We absolutely loved staying here. The building is just a stones throw away from the beach across a beautiful lawn. The owners provided every amenity you could need free of charge: paddleboards, kayaks, bikes, Beach chairs, towels, BBQ, laundry, kitchen supplies, all of those grocery staples you need when you're traveling but never want to buy, like oil and vinegar, butter mayonnaise, spices...you get the idea. The location was very convenient too - a short walk to supermarkets and restaurants. We certainly hope to come back one day soon, hopefully with other family members and renting multiple units.

Tropical oasis

My husband and I stayed at Aloha Aku for a week. It was amazing to watch the sun rise and set on the ocean while enjoying complimentary coffee and banana bread. We took the ocean kayak out and saw many turtles and whales breaching on the horizon. The accommodations were very private, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. We also enjoyed the birds and water fowl. Great place!

Great place; highly recommend. Already dreaming about returning.

Great property. Well maintained and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need. Would give it 5 stars but the spa was not working the first few days. Also, the bathroom is located in the bedroom and the walls do not go to the ceiling, so when you use it during the night, it's hard not to disturb your partner. Other than that, it is perfect. Ideally located, close to everything, great view, very clean.

"Paradise Found"

This was our first visit to the islands of Hawaii and we were looking for the perfect beach front experience. The moment we drove through the gates of the property we knew we had found our paradise. The grounds are beautifully maintained and just a few steps to the beach. The Bamboo Suite is simply a home away from home, every attention to detail was complete. The beach was incredible with gorgeous sunsets, a mix between gentle waves and moderate surf, and miles of beach to walk on. The spa and dipping pool was a great way to end a day. We enjoyed nature here as well, watching the sea turtles at the beach and a small conservation area adjacent to the property was home to a multitude of bird species. There are only five suites on the premises so it is quiet and tranquil but only a short ride to restaurants and nightlife. We are already planning a return to our paradise, Aloha AKU.
