Property was in a nice location. It looked like no one had stayed there in awhile. They gave us a starter kit of four dishwasher pods for a six night stay. Texted the property manager and was told I was responsible for buying more if I needed more. I was only trying to let them know that there was only four pods for a 6 night stay and I thought that was unacceptable. I wasn’t buying any more pods for them to restock the condo for the next people. They only left one dish towel and one washcloth also so I asked them to bring me more dish cloths, and I would be happy to wash dishes the rest of the week. Only condo I’ve ever been to where there was no pepper usually there is salt and pepper. So if you’re staying in this unit and plan on cooking might bring all the spices you need because they’re very expensive to purchase. I bought spices and took them home. Well, the other thing I forgot to tell them about was the beach umbrella was completely demolished. Definitely need to replace that one in the unit. It’s a good thing. I’ve been to Maui before otherwise I would’ve been really disappointed. use. Tpeoplesorry.

Property was great. Had a bit of a rough start due to not receiving an email but Maui Condo and home quickly got me in touch with who we needed to get the email and parking situated. Highly recommend!

What a great condo! It had everything a retired teaching couple could want. A really great pool & hot tub. A elevator form my sore back. Nice beach access with multiple beach entrances, up and down the street. Kihei is a very busy road. However, the only thing you could hear from our balcony was soft breezes and bird song. Would stay again in a minute!

Loved this place to pieces. The pictures are accurate, the beach is a short stroll from the condo, amenities were above and beyond from beach chairs, snorkeling gear, a little cooler for outings, and kitchenware for those frugal vacationers like ourselves. The only critiques I would have are the bedroom floor creaks in the bedroom entryway is enough to wake up your significant other in the middle of the night, and one of the Patio Tables was so large it inhibited my Fiancé and I both from getting a great view of the sunset. The condo rules prohibit moving furniture around so we had to take turns on who got to comfortably see the sunset. The table was just too big to position two people to view the sunset comfortably, and finally the dryer in the halls were digital pay but when you pay 25 cents to dry it will only run for ten minutes at a time so we had to restart it at least ten times every ten minutes to finish drying our laundry. Other then all that this place was amazing and we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

We loved our stay in Maui and this rental was perfect for our needs. We had a little trouble finding it at first but Margo was very quick to respond and got us on track with no problems. The place was very clean and even had some nice little extras like folding chairs and umbrella for the beach, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The location was perfect for a lot of the activities we had planned and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Second time in Hawaii, first stay in Maui. The condo was in a really nice quiet location with all the amenities you need to feel at home, plus beach access! What more can you ask for. We enjoyed cooking meals and having them on the balcony while enjoying the sunset and ocean views. Would recommend staying here!

We love the clean look of this condo and it’s large enough for couples. The bacony has an amazing view and it’s easy to get around the area. There is enough parking space and the grounds and bbq area are very well maintained. Everything looks very clean and organized.

September 2024

Beautiful location and condo was well stocked with everything you would need including pots, pans, dishes, even a french press which I used every morning. Also included were beach chairs, a small cooler, 2 boogie boards and a beach umbrella. The pool area was nice and the barbecue's were also very nice. There was a groundskeeper cleaning the grills every single morning and they are hooked up to a giant propane tank so they will never run out of gas. The tiki torches provide a nice atmosphere as well. Would recommend.

This was a great location to all the areas of the island. Well stocked kitchen. Loved the beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers. Beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed watching the sun set on the lanai. Turtles often swim by at the beach.

We normally stay in Kaanapali, but enjoyed our stay here in Kihei, it so much closer to everything you want to see, like the road to Hana, winery, Haleakalā, etc. The parking is free! But you need to get a badge to put in the window, which you get from the other building. The unit has a K-cup coffee maker as well as the old school filter. Great unit for a couple I would say, 4 adults would be a little tight, but two extra kiddos should be fine. Has an issue with Vrbo not sending me any info, and two days before the trip I received info finally from the owner. There's a cooler and lawn chairs, and 3 towels, so bring your own if you are not washing, and the kitchen is well stocked, including spices for steaks, but no baking tray, but use a pan instead! We got chicken pot pies from the Maui pie shop down the street and needed to bake them. The beach is about 50-yards away, you walk over a grassy preserve and over dunes, and the sun sets from there, which you can see from the balcony as well. A/C only works when the patio door is closed, like a hotel, and there are a lot of notes posted throughout the condo that made me laugh, most of which are common sense issues, but I guess the owner had issues in the past. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend for a couple.

Wasn’t the cleanest but was great for us. A little more instruction on check in would have been great especially for initial parking. The beach equipment was an awesome addition.

The Kauhale Makai condo was absolutely perfect. It is beautifully remodeled, peacefully decorated, and very comfortable, with a view of the ocean from every room. Check in and out was very easy, and communicating with Joe was easy as well and he was very responsive. The location is perfect, with easy access to every area of the island! Parking was plentiful and accessible. We also really appreciated the provision of beach towels, chairs and everything else you could need to enjoy a day at the beach!

Great stay, great location. We were very happy with everything. No beach accessories provided, so plan for that. Otherwise, the place was well stocked with kitchen and cooking needs. The balcony was great for sitting or enjoying a breakfast with a view.

We arrived on a Saturday and check in went very smoothly. The condo was clean and well stocked with towels and extra bedding. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils you would need. Overall a very pleasant experience.

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we stayed for a week. We enjoyed this place so much - waking up to the view of the ocean and beautiful Maui was something that never got old. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. The kitchen comes in handy for times when you need a break from eating out. The place was clean, comfortable, and was close to many of the activities we wanted to do, including the Maui aquarium and the Ma'alea Harbor which is where we went for a lot of the water activities and boat rides. The shops at Wailea are a short drive away. We also made the beautiful drive out to Kaanapali and didn't feel like we missed out on anything. Everything you want to do in Maui is convenient and accessible from this Condo's location. There are lots of restaurant options and a nearby Safeway which is open 24 hours a day. The condo community also has a swimming pool and a hot tub (very nice) and outdoor grills which we saw people using every day. Book this place and you won't regret it!

We loved this property! From the view to the decor, to the interaction with the property managers. It was a beautiful two bedroom condo with all of the amenities that we could wish for. The first morning I woke up and walked to the beach to see the sunrise, came back, made a cuppa coffee, some eggs. And sat on the lanai to enjoy every part of our vacation. I highly recommend this location and the company that rents this. It was worth every penny! Ono as we say in Hawaiian., And Mahalo to each individual who made it that way

This was a fantastic property and within our budget to allow us to visit Maui! Very grateful for the opportunity and hospitality. The communal pool and hot tub and grill and laundry made for an extremely pleasant stay! The view is unbeatable. Coffee on the deck in am and sunset views in pm. Can’t wait to return. Responsive host.

We met our daughter, son-in-law and grandson for an all too brief Maui vacation. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay at Margie’s place. The location is awesome, and she has thought of everything to make a guests stay very comfortable. If we ever go back, we would certainly stay here again.

We love staying in Kihei and Kauhale Makai is just perfect for us. This was our third time renting this unit! We love being so centrally located to the beaches and restaurants we enjoy. It’s wonderful that the unit has the basics of lawn chairs, a cooler, and beach towels as well as all of the basic kitchen needs and SOFT bedding and bath towels. The swimming pool and bbq area is super clean and well maintained. It’s a slice of home away from home and it is a JOY to reconnect with Patti when we are ready to visit again — she was willing to accommodate our special request to come a few days early which was super appreciated. Mahalo and we hope to come again soon!

Curtains in both living room and bedroom were off the track. There was a secondary curtain that provide most, but not complete privacy. I asked that it be addressed, but no one came by to fix it. Not a deal breaker, but annoying :-)
