About this property

Oceanfront Kauhale Makai - Luxury 1 Bedroom ~ Central Air & Ocean View

Aloha,

You've discovered a listing for a luxurious one-bedroom condo on the top 6th floor. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile floors, travertine bathroom, two 40' LED TVs.

The convenient floor plan allows unobstructed views of the ocean bay and West Maui mountains from every room, literally one can watch whales while still in bed (whales are not included)

Each of the rooms has independent entry to large shared lanai (balcony).

Condo amenities include central A/C (both rooms), wireless internet, cable, dedicated parking spot, king-size bed with luxury plush mattress. For additional guests we can offer unfoldable couch and/or queen-sized air-mattresses.

Kauhale Makai (Hawaiian for Village by the Sea) amenities include manicured garden-like grounds, pool, shallow kid's pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, putting green, well-maintained outdoor BBQ grills, coin-operated laundry facilities on the same floor, elevator, concierge services.

The building is located in Central Kihei and offers convenient access to all Maui attractions, shopping and transportation. The nearest supermarket, and shopping plaza is about 0.5 miles away - can walk, Wailea is 5.5 miles away, Airport - 11 miles, Lahaina 21 mile, Costco, Walmart - 10 miles, renowned Ma'alaea Aquarium - 7 miles, Haleakala crater - 32 miles.

Of course, many of Kauhale Makai guests choose to spend relaxing days on property, enjoying pool, BBQ, cocktails on lanai, unbelievable tropical sunsets from the beach, and wrapping up the day soaking in hot tub.

We believe that our condo will be most comfortable for a couple or for a family with 1 or 2 children.

Mahalo,

Michael & Zara

We loved our time at this rental near Kihei. Great view, super clean inside, nice pool and spa. Kihei has many good, reasonably priced restaurants to enjoy. Short drive each day for various snorkeling beaches. For sure would stay here again if we're lucky enough to come back to Maui.

Very clean and comfortable condo. Great view from the Lanai and close to the elevator and trash shoot. This unit features a washlet on the toilet and comes with many beach amenities such as beach chairs, pool towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, etc. Traditional coffee maker but it's a small hotel room style. AC is good and can get very cold if needed. Quiet unit. Slider from the living room and bedroom to the lanai. Pretty well stocked condo for cooking ammenities. Owner communicates pretty well and issues I found he quickly resolved. Just a note, you cannot see the sunset from the lanai during the winter months, FYI.

Thank you very much, you have been the most wonderful guest! You correctly noted that you can't see the sunset from the condo, because it's facing north. I used to think it's disappointing, until, after a long stay on island, I realized that this is actually the preferred location - it protects the condo from being cooked by the brutal sun at any time of the day. This allows guests to keep the shades open throughout the day enjoying the views and the natural light.

Excellent location

The view from the balcony was great and we spent a lot of time out there. Location was excellent, close to several lovely beaches and to restaurants. It was a decent space, but perhaps could use some sprucing up to bring it closer to a “luxury “ condo. Also, a regular size coffee maker would be very helpful and some potholders. All in all we enjoyed our stay here.

Thank you for the great feedback. This unit is newly renovated and offered as a rental property so we are still learning what will make your stay more enjoyable. Your feedback is very helpful and I will certainly present your ideas for a blender and larger coffee maker to the owners. Mahalo!

Just excellent!

Just got in from a wonderful holiday in Hawaii. Our stay in Maui was enriched by the excellent condominium that we chose. Neat, clean tidy, comfortable, stunning view, with unforgettable sunsets. The photos don't lie and the reality exceeds The location is ideal for its tranquility; the beach is nice for walking enjoying beautiful views. Everything you need is at a short distance by car. We absolutely recommend this condominium it’s perfect. We would also like to emphasize the good care of Linda, always willing to assist us.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2020
Thank you very much for your review - you've wonderfully expressed what we feel about this condo. We stay there when vacationing on Maui and enjoy this place as much as you did. As a guest I would have left same comments, but VRBO doesn't accept reviews from owners. I am glad you enjoyed your Maui vacation, particularly so because you came from afar. When you decide to come back, we'll be happy to offer you a discount off regular rate. Mahalo!

Kihei Gem

Wonderful condo in the heart of Kihei, within walking distance of some main shops and restaurants. Our view from the balcony was incredible, the unit was clean, comfortable and furnished well. Lots of bath and beach towels, with beach chairs for borrowing. The only change I would make would be to add a few more items to the kitchen (some more utensils, basic spices if possible). I would definitely return.

Great little rental

Check-in was simple, with clear instructions emailed ahead of time. The living space and kitchen were the highlight of the condo and where the most remodeling work went into. Comfortable bed that was separated out from the living space which gave my wife time to rest when I was awake. Like other guests have mentioned there are some touch ups that could be adressed in the bathroom space but nothing bad. There are 3 snorkel sets there (one is a kids set), beach umbrella and two chairs along with beach towels. There was also a playpen for the under 2 years old crowd. Overall the location if this rental is perfect as its centrally located from the airport, west Maui and south Maui beaches. If you get the chance take the snorkel gear to La Parouse

Noise from jack hammers all day 7:30 - 5 pm

I checked out early. The view was great but couldn’t enjoy because of noise. Jack hammers started in the Unit next to me at 7:30 am and didn’t stop til 5 pm. I woke up to a construction worker on my balcony peering in as I slept. I left a Day early. They only refunded one night stay. I highly recommend you get information on the progress of construction before booking.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2020
The information about construction is prominently displayed on our listing and we keep this information updated. Currently (April 2019) the work has shifted to further parts of the building the issue of noise and workers in the vicinity of our lanai is no longer acute. As far as Jennifer goes - she stayed only for 2 nights, one of them being Sunday when there is no construction activity. Therefore she asked for a refund of rent for Monday - the day when she was disturbed by construction and we have kept our promise featured in the property description, refunding her as much as she has asked. The statement that we have refunded her "only one night stay" is misleading, 1 night is the only night when she experienced inconvenience, she got to stay for this night for free.

Nice area, still tough during construction

I don’t blame the owners as they are straight up and open about construction but until you’re there you don’t realize how long it goes all day. It does take away from the lanai experience. The owners still need to rent it, which i understand but it was very loud and construction people all over the complex. In terms of the unit, i took one star for how loud things are; and one for not having a blender or table on the porch in a tropical location. I feel a blender in Hawaii is similar to a coffee pot pretty much anywhere else. We got there exited to make drinks and had no way to blend anything. Maybe there was a blender before, but seems like a big omission considering there are two toasters in the unit. The rest of the condo is well done with plenty of options for guests looking for beach time(chairs, toys, boards). One drawback to the porch would be a lack of a coffee table to place food or drinks on while looking at the view. That along with the blender seem like simple misses for this property. Great grounds with plenty of bbq, grass and pool space. The construction will spruce things up a bit bit still think the other omissions are worth noting.
