Hawai'i Tax ID #205-260-2880-01

October is upon us, and that's a great time to beat the fall doldrums with a stay on Maui! And you can do that at our 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo in a genuine paradise-on-earth -- at a special nightly rate! 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. But better hurry! This rate goes away at the end of October!

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, with its snorkellers' pride reefs and one of the best family-friendly beaches, is literally steps away. Lie back on the sand, or swim in the ocean (mind the turtles!). Hire a mask and fins and 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.

Or buy your own groceries and make use of our deluxe kitchen and the poolside barbecues!

DO YOU WORK BY REMOTE AND NEED TO "KEEP UP", BUT WITH A CHANGE OF SCENERY? We provide high-speed internet. and the dining table is perfect for your laptop, notes and whatever else you need.

All of this is priced where a family can afford it -- well below that of the average hotel room.

Check out our video -- https://youtu.be/mbjVF5fAPBU.

Our fully furnished, one-bedroom (sleeps 4) condo has a tropical theme, with works by local Maui artists. You'll find a king-size bed in the bedroom, queen-size sofa-bed in the living room, deluxe kitchen and 1 bathroom, and the grounds boast two pools with BBQs, tennis and pickleball.

Convinced yet? Check out our reviews (and please note: we don't *ask* for 5-star ratings!).

Whatever your Hawai'ian adventure, our place can be your place to come home to.

* Newly renovated
* Tastefully furnished with island living in mind
* King size bed in bedroom
* Queen size hide-a-bed sofa in living room
* Free wi-fi
* Towels and chairs for the beach
* Washer and dryer in the unit
* Easy access to all parts of the island
* Two pools and tennis courts
* BBQs

NOTE: for full disclosure, there are cameras at the two pools; however, these are to ensure people are abiding by the house rules and the video is not recorded.

But it's also VERY popular! People -- many of whom are returning guests -- book our place months -- sometimes over a year -- in advance. So choice dates won't last long!

ALOHA!

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!

The perfect getaway

The condo is set perfectly, about 900 feet up the driveway crosswalk from the beach. It's quiet, yet close to everything in Kihei. So many amenities, from laundry soap, beach towels, chairs, some snorkeling gear, umbrella, and a kitchen stocked with many tools. Our host, Drew, replied every time we had a question, before and during our stay.

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.

Great

We really loved it, location was great, beach nearby, restaurants and shops nearby. Complex had two pools, the apartment was facing one of them and in the evening they put on lots of torches. The apartment was clean, beds were good, also the sofa bed was of good quality. What we liked it was stocked so much, lots of spices, sauces etc!

We enjoyed our Maui visit so much! Local places like Beach Street were an almost daily treat. The host sent a welcome package that helped us prep in advance for amazing opportunities like our sunrise experience at Haleakala (thank you so much for that tip!) and exploring along the road to Hana. The beach...an everyday pleasure! The welcome package also included tips on many of the area restaurants (a particular favorite--brunch at the Hula Grill! terrific food and ambiance!). The condo is in a great location, and it's very comfortable. What an amazing adventure! I think we had a better time because of the help and preparation of the welcome package from a wonderful host!

Perfect location! Excellent customer service from Drew and Amelia!

From locating the unit on VRBO until arriving – the process could not have been smoother! I received our check in packet two weeks prior to arrival. I also had additional questions throughout the process and Drew answered them instantly! We had everything we needed! Chairs and tables on the balcony which overlooks the pool, large kitchen which was open to the dining/living room. King size bed was extremely comfortable! Separate toilet/shower area from the sink area was very nice. There were beach chairs, towels, pool noodles, games, videos, you name it it was there! The driveway entrance to the complex where is directly across from the crosswalk to the beach. The pool was maybe 50 steps from the front door. At first I was worried thinking we were too close to the pool and it would be loud. But that was not the case at all. The unit was very quiet, and the pool closed at 9 PM. I have already checked availability for my next trip to Hawaii!

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!

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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Amelia

Host profile image
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.
