About this property

Great Unit with a Private Lanai

CHECK OUR LOW 'SUMMER SPECIAL' RATES
AND
MANY IMPROVEMENTS SINCE WE PURCHASED IN 2009....
LOCATION IN KIHEI!
LOCATION IN THE COMPLEX!
LOCATION FOR PRIVACY!
Unique qualities of this unit are its central location within the complex and the fact that it is a ground floor unit. This provides for easy access to the pool, the barbeque and the
road to the beach (which is 1 block away) and is helpful for unloading groceries, loading and unloading luggage and items for day trips around the island.

COMFORT
A screen door, an upgraded window in the bedroom and a patio door, all of which are lockable, provide a cool breeze which keeps the unit comfortable most of the time. There is an air conditioner in the living room and ceiling fans in the kitchen, living room and bedroom to supplement the breezes.

GARDEN VIEW
The very private lanai has a garden view comprised of plumeria trees, a flowering hedge and an adjacent field filled with an abundance of green folliage.

LARGE ONE BEDROOM UNIT
We have rented units in Kihei Alii Kai many times and love the size of the units (700 sq feet in the one-bedrooms plus a 150 sq ft lanai). We have viewed units in many of the surrounding properties and none can compare.

WELL FURNISHED - NICELY APPOINTED
The fully equipped kitchen is a pleasure to work in. It has been upgraded with maple cupboards, granite counters, and new flooring. A newly renovated bathroom with tub and shower is a beauty. The smooth-top stove has a self-clean oven and the microwave is over the stove. 2015 and 2016 saw us re-texture the walls , re-paint the living room, kitchen and halls, install new carpet in the living room and bedroom, replace the drapes, dishwasher, and air conditioner .
Sleep in the luxury of a queen size Simmons Beautyrest pillowtop mattress in the bedroom and a new sofa bed in the living room which has a queen size deluxe spring-filled mattress with a pillowtop.
Furniture has been upgraded with new queen size sofa bed, occasional chairs, dining suite and bedroom suite. A full sized washer and dryer allows for fresh clothes changes in a sweaty tropical climate
The beautifully tiled lanai (porch) has a chaise lounge and a table and chairs and opens onto a lawn with a plumeria tree.
Beach towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and a cooler are provided.
Long distance calls to Canada and the USA are free as is the wi-fi internet access.

GETTING AROUND MAUI
While car rental gives visitors the luxury of touring the island at your liesure, it can be expensive. If you would prefer an alternaitve mode of transportation, we can recommend the Maui Bus. Details for using the Maui Bus are available on-line and in the the Visitors Binder in our condo. Shuttle Services are avilable for getting to the condo from the airport in Kahului.

quick stroll to the beach

Well kept property with beautiful flowers and trees. Comfy condo with full kitchen supplies. As described. The condo does have lots of labels and instructions as mentioned by other guests. It was so nice to have an easy walk down to the beach and to the shops. Kehei is a busy little town, but the condo is tucked away in a quiet corner with a beautiful and private sitting area.

Overall, the condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed for our stay. The building, like most on Maui, has seen better days, but it's well-maintained. Some things are a bit dated, but everything was functional and the furniture, etc, in the unit itself was clean and comfortable. It was located just up the hill from the beach, a small park, and the main street with shops and restaurants. Great location! I would certainly stay at this condo again on another trip to Maui.

Great condo location and unit. Super nice complex.

Right across the street from the Kam 1 beach which is the best beach in south Maui. Great location close to stores and dinning spots. The unit is well stocked and very nice. Lanai locker has beach gear and the kitchen is fully stocked with anything a cook might need. Highly recommended.

I am happy to recommend this property; it is clean and well-maintained and supplied with all the necessities for comfort and a great vacation. The lanai is very private and makes for a great resting and/or dining spot. The location is excellent to beaches, restaurants and highway and the unit is in a great spot within the property close to pool and barbeques. The owners are very approachable and open to feedback from guests!

Great location and huge space.

The location of this condo was perfect. So close to the beach and shops and restaurants. The property is really nice and having easy parking and laundry was amazing. Brad was great with communication leading up to the trip. I recommend this VRBO. They only thing for us was the carpets felt a little dirty and the knifes and pots and pans could be upgraded. Excellent value.

South Kihei

The check in process was very simple and the host provided extra keys to prevent being locked out. A great location with access to many shops and restaurants were a short walking distance including beach access. It was nice to have a well stocked kitchen but could use some washable table napkins. Otherwise, there were plenty of linens. I did not use the pool or bbq area so I cannot comment but heard from locals it is very nice.

The location is fantastic for getting around. Walking distance to the beach and so.e shopping. Really no view at all from the condo. The condo felt a little dated. My only complaints were the air conditioning could only be set to run for 1 hour. We got in let and it was really hot so had to wait to go to sleep. Then woke up sweating and had to get up and turn the air back on. Getting luggage to the condo from the parking area isn't easy either. The best thing is location and price.

Great Location

The condo was very clean with many upgrades and furnishings and well stocked with everything we needed. It was also so close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. It felt like home away for home. We didn't need to use the air conditioner because there was a perfect breeze from the front door to the patio. Also, there were lots of celing fans for comfort. The owners were great to deal with and very thorough with instructions etc. Free telephone service to Canada and the U.S.A. were certainly appreciated. We hope to return to Maui and would definitely stay here again. Mahalo Brad, Rod and Lois for allowing us to be a guest in your home.

Great Location!

The property was beautiful, near the beach and in walking distance of many nice restaurants. The condo was very clean and easy to get into. The pull out bed isn't the most comfortable if you will be using it for a long time, but the main bed in the master was comfortable. Check-in was easy and the owners gave us very detailed instructions before hand on how to get to the property and get into the condo. It did take us 2 days to get the parking permit, however that was primarily due to some staffing changes at the condo and nothing to do with the owner. Coming from a colder climate, I would have liked an A/C unit we could run to cool the place better at night, it stays very warm in the bedroom.

Great, clean little condo in Kihei!

We loved this condo. Very well appointed and taken care of. Ground floor unit, stays cooler than most. Beach items available for use, well appointed kitchen with all of the dishes, pots/pans, etc. you need. Comfortable bed, clean, nice ground floor lanai with outdoor furniture. Close to the very nice pool area for quick swims or for evening BBQ (nice gas grills in the pool area). The Kihei Ali'i Kai is very close to Kamaole Beach Park 1 and within easy walking distance of other beaches, many shops, and restaurants. We loved the location, the condo, and Kihei! It was easy to work with Rod, Lois, and Brad too, they are very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your great condo with us. Our family had a wonderful time and we'll be back! :)

It had all the extra's a person would need for a stay. The storage cabinet was well stocked with beach chairs, 2 beach umbrella's, sand toys, snorkle equip & boogie boards. The air conditioner had to work hard to cool down the room, unfortunately it is right by the TV so the added noise didn't help. Lots of fans & ceiling fans to move the air. Parking: We parked in the lower lot & got a notice on our car that we would be towed since we were parked in "owners" parking even though we had the registration slip in the window. Had to park at the top of the hill in "Guest" parking so that walk to get the car was tough in the heat & humidity.

Relaxing Maui Vacation

The condo was perfect with all the amenities of home. Clean comfortable bedroom and bathroom – T.V. - Wifi – and free phone calls to the mainland were much appreciated. The location was superb – 1 block to a fabulous beach (Kamaole 1) and just a few steps from the pool, hot tub, and great BBQ area. We enjoyed outings to Lahaina – whale watching at the scenic outlook, Luau, souvenir shopping, the Banyan tree, and good food at the Pioneer Inn, driving to the up country – Kula botanical garden and Hawaii's only winery at Ulupalakua ranch. We found a well stocked farmer's market a few blocks north of the condo and enjoyed good food and an amazing coconut fried apple banana dessert at Ocean's Bar and Grill located a few blocks north of Foodland. We especially enjoyed walking on the beach and watching the sunset. The only negative was that our 10 days went by way too fast. Thank you Rod, Lois and Brad for the most relaxing and fun vacation we have had in years. We also thank you for your excellent communication and prompt responses to any questions we had. This made our first trip to Maui a memorable one.

Hawaii is not a state of mind but a state of grace. Paul Theroux

Wow!! This condo, our experiences, this island. We fell in love with this island and I feel we will leave a small piece of our hearts here. The condo is set in a great location just across the street from the ocean and a wonderful clean beach. The condo is conveniently located next to the pool and easy to get to after 1 set of stairs. The lanai is private and overlooks Hawaiian vegetation. CLEAN, the condo was very clean, tidy and organized. UP TO DATE, the condo has all modern amenities, we especially appreciated the in-suite laundry, dishwasher and AC unit. Although if you open doors you get an amazing light breeze through the condo while relaxing. SLEEP, while it was difficult to adjust to our time change the bed in the master bedroom was phenomenal. It was very comfortable offering a good mix between softness and firm. BEACH GEAR, this amenity is what we used the most. We loved the beach chairs, we used them everyday from sunrises to lazy beach days to sunsets these chairs are comfy. Brad was very easy to work with on scheduling and was easily available for any questions or concerns. WE 1000% RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!! Until next time, Mahalo! The Geibs 2023

About the host

Hosted by Rod, Lois and Brad

Host profile image
Rod and Lois have rented units in Kihei Alii Kai on many visits to Maui and always loved the spaciousness of the units and the closeness of the beach. Our family (children and grandchildren) spent Xmas 2010 at the complex and our son Brad got excited about having a winter retirement home in Maui in the future. So we casually started looking at property and the more we viewed, the more Kihei Alii Kai came out on top! When we found this ground floor, upgraded and private unit, with its perfect location in the complex, it sold itself!
This is now our comfortable tropical home away from home. We hope that you will love it as we do, and that you will treat it as carefully as you would your own home. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
South Kihei has the best weather, most sun and three of the most popular beach parks in Hawaii. Unlike self-contained hotel resort settings, it has a folksy “village-like” atmosphere. You can walk to restaurants, shopping, beaches, a health-food store and internet café. There are six championship golf courses within 15 minutes and easy access to the Pi’ilani Highway for fast trips to other places on the island. Early morning on South Kihei Road is a jogger/walker's paradise. It is few minutes drive to central Kihei with three supermarkets (including Safeway), Longs Drug Store, hardware store, local theater productions and other shopping amenities.

What makes this property unique

Kihei Ali’i Kai is a popular condominium complex with its own access road to ample parking for guests and visitors. Some of the parking is covered.
It is clean and well managed. The concrete and building block construction makes for quietness between units. The layout, designed with lanais located so they do not look at each other, creates a sense of privacy.

The pool is one of the largest and the pool deck one of the most spacious in the area. A large Jacuzzi complements both pool and deck. Showers for removing beach sand are located at the entrance to the complex. Two tennis courts complete the recreation facilities.
Two BBQ areas provide a place for guests to meet and visit after the sun goes down
