Sean is a kind, friendly, and thoughtful host with an amazing place right by Kamaole Beach Park III. I did quite a bit of research to find the right neighborhood for us in Maui, and this spot turned out to be absolutely perfect!The beach is so close that we often didn’t even bother bringing towels—it’s just steps away. The unit is well-equipped with plenty of water sports gear and a full kitchen. It’s also an easy walk to the nearest grocery store, a great brunch spot, and the main snorkeling dock.This location is a perfect hub for exploring Maui—you can enjoy the beach just outside the unit without being in a resort, and you’ll have easy access to OGG Airport, Hana, Paia, Lahaina, and many of the island’s top recommended restaurants.Being a top corner unit with big windows and super high ceilings, you can still enjoy the feeling of being outside even when you’re indoors. The building is very quiet, making it perfect for travelers who want to feel at home in Maui—those who prefer occasional cooking, relaxing, and enjoying a peaceful stay rather than the busy resort or hotel vibe. Highly recommended!

A piece of paradise

One of the best rental properties we’ve ever stayed in. The place is gorgeous, right across from a great beach with a large grassy area, bathrooms, etc. a great pool and everything you could ask for to make you feel right at home. Kihei itself is great for families but this unit made it even better. You can tell a lot of love and thought was put into making it feel so cozy.

We have stayed in this condo several times now. The views from the deck are outstanding. (Sunsets in the evening, whale watching on occasion and the large waves from Kamolie 3 beach.) A short walk and you have shopping and some nice places to eat. The condo is clean and well organized.

Seriously this place hits on every level.

My wife and I and our two adult children just spent a week at Sean and Jim’s place in Kihei… and it was fantastic. The decor is seriously impeccable. The location is perfect. Their unit is right on the end of the complex so you’re looking out onto the ocean every day. The air conditioning units take the heat and humidity away so that you can enjoy time in their beautiful Polynesian respite. They’ve also provided everything you can imagine you would possibly need…And so cleverly stored in hidden closets! Chairs for the beach, umbrellas, coolers, vacuum, cleaning supplies, spices. Everything is so well thought out. I cooked out one night poolside and we took the food back upstairs and dined alfresco on the lanai…. And watch the sunset on the ocean.The location is right across the street from the beach, and there’s great restaurants and bars and coffee shops within walking distance. We took a brisk walk every morning down to Wailea! Amazing.We can’t wait to go back again. Really well done guys. Thanks for being an amazing hosts and sharing your place.

Amazing

This condos is very clean & comfortable. The beds are comfortable. The bedding is adequate but the white towels could be replaced. Our only issue was the road noise as the condo is very close to Kehei Road. The owners have sound machines to help block the traffic noise but the garbage trucks & loud cars & motorcycles still are extremely loud. The other issue is the homeless lady who showers on property in the sand shower each Tues are 8 AM. She is comfortable enough to be totally naked . Not a great situation for young children . The traffic noise & the homeless cannot be controlled by owners. Overall we enjoyed out time

As Advertised!

A fantastic location in Maui! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The listing is spot on and the hosts provide everything you need for your stay. Having beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler, and other beach items provided was such a great addition to this stay. Literally saw whales every day from the unit (we stayed in January). The surrounding area is safe and provided everything we needed from restaurants, bars, groceries, etc. Contact with hosts was easy and quick and same goes for the property manager. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful Place in Maui

The second we walked into this condo we felt happy, relaxed, and right at home. The owners clearly take great pride in their condo and great pride in attention to detail to ensure a wonderful vacation for guests! It is so tastefully decorated and clean. We had everything we needed for a great vacation. The location was wonderful as well. Penthouse was ideal for Maui sunsets and relaxing, and the beaches were so close. We were able to walk to almost everything we needed. The bedroom and bathroom setup made it easy to travel with two teenagers. Everything was high-end and in good shape, right down to the beach chairs. I would recommend this place to anyone, and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Hi all! This was the perfect stay. The good: -The condo is immaculate. -The size is perfect for a family of 4. -The location was amazing. -The hosts made us feel like we were home. The bad: -Nothing at all to say. Literally nothing bad about this place. If you are considering a place to stay, please put this at the top of your list. This was our first experience with VRBO and I am afraid now that anything moving forward will be compared to this and I cannot imagine it being any better. Thank you both for our experience!

Winter Paradise

We were so pleased with this vacation property. The condo did not disappoint on views; full ocen views from every room. We were lucky enough to spot a whale from the lanai! The property owner and the property manager were both punctual about responding to inquiries. The condo was clean, well decorated, and fully stocked with everything we needed, including beach accessories. I would be remiss to not mention the beach. Kamaole Beach Park III is literally right across the street from the condo. This was the perfect beach for our family. We enjoyed snorkeling, body surfing, boogie boarding, and laying in the sun. The condo is a short walk to a variety of restaurants and shops. There is definitely some street noise as Kihei Rd is quite lively at most times of the day and into the night. We did not mind as it also provided a wealth of people watching. We hope to be lucky enough to stay here again on our next trip to Maui. Mahalo!

Has the capability to be great, BUT....

Perfect size for a small family and has everything you could possibly need, HOWEVER, the AC is limited to 4-hr timers (which wasn't mentioned in the listing) and the homeless and mentally-ill population in the area is out of control. We were miserable in the unit, as the temps were high all week and we'd come home to a unit that was even hotter inside that it was outside. No matter what we tried, the temps inside would not come down to a comfortable temp until 3-4 am. All of the ceiling and pedestal fans were extremely weak. Even on the high setting, you could not feel any air coming from them. I can honestly say that we were happiest when we were away from the unit, and we dreaded heading back anytime we were gone more than 4 hrs, because we knew we were going to be walking into a sauna. The timers were ABSURD. The unit was fairly clean, except I'm positive that the sheets were neither changed nor washed between the previous guest's departure and our arrival. The sheets smelled of body odor and there were physical signs of soiling. Also the bathrooms reeked of urine. The unit is in a great location. It's right in the middle of everything. The only problem we had with the location was the number of homeless and mentally-ill people living at and hanging around the park 24/7. We were verbally accosted by them numerous times. I would NOT feel comfortable having my wife or daughter walk across the street to the beach/park alone, especially early in the morning or after sunset.

Beautifully appointed condo, right across street from wonderful beach

Everything about the condo was wonderful--the only thing that wasn't perfect is that there was some street noise, so if you're sensitive to that, be aware that it's on S. Kihei Road which has a fair amount of traffic.Other than that, it exceeded all expectations. It's gorgeously decorated, it's got views from both bedrooms and the living/dining room of Kamaole 3, which is a terrific and beautiful location. They have everything you need and many things you want--kitchen has appliances, pans, storage containers, etc.; the beach pantry has beach chairs, toys, umbrella, snorkel gear, etc. Kamaole Beach Park 3 is a terrific beach and right across the street, and there were TONS of turtles during our stay and also some whales in the distance, and we got super lucky and actually saw a seal swim right up to shore for a few seconds. We love this part of Kihei-in addition to the gorgeous beaches, just up the road are all kinds of wonderful restaurants and shops.All communications with property owners and property managers were excellent and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay in this condo. The views were wonderful. Each day we had coffee on the patio with a view of the ocean. We were also walking distance from several restaurants. The unit had everything that you would need including chairs to take to the beach, beach towels and all the kitchen essentials. We can constantly complemented the decor. It's a beautiful island decorated unit. We were also happy to have on site parking. We must say that initially we thought you had to be a skilled driver to get into the parking spot, but after a couple of days we were able to get in without much anxiety. 😀 We highly recommend staying and would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sean Gaston Steer

Host profile image
My partner Jim and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been coming to Kihei for years. Its our favorite Hawaiian destinaion after visiting all other islands. We have always dreamed of owning a very "Hawaiian" feeling property....and found it! I am an Interior Designer and Jim is a General Contractor and we restore and remodel vintage homes for a living....you'll love what we've done with the condo. :)

Why they chose this property

Our Mid Century Maui home was completely remodeled. Beautifully new but maintains its wonderful Island feeling. You can't beat the location, the view, the sound of the ocean and the vintage Hawaiian decor with all the modern necessities. We look forward to sharing it with you!

What makes this property unique

Professionally decorated and comfortable....You will love the 16 foot high bamboo ceilings, walls of glass facing the ocean, the Lanai, vintage Shoji screens, the open layout with great separation of space. Really nice to have 2 full baths with plenty of room to share!
