About this property

OceanViewStudio, Full-Size W/D, Dishwasher, 55"TV, Hotel-Zoned, Beach across St,

This is a one of a kind, quiet, and gorgeous Studio; professionally decorated with Pier1 Furnishings and Local Artwork. New paint, tasty decor, and an Ocean/Garden view, create a soothing, colorful, and pleasant way to unwind at the end of the day. Split AC, keeps you cool when the tradewinds rarely stop, but there's almost always a great island breeze permeating the condo. Being a corner unit, there are twice as many windows for those who want natural ventilation. I fixed it up to MY tastes and lived in it for a couple years, so it is not the typical vacation rental. It really feels like home with quality amenties instead of cheap disposable touristy furnishings.
There's (2) Swimming Pools, each with (2) Gas BBQ grills. - The large pools offer hours of tanning, swimming, and outdoor cooking with friends and family. Lots of chaise lounges and a shower provided at the pools, as well as beach towels from the condo. The Tennis-Pickleball court is also popular. A dedicated parking stall is included.

This condo is hotel-zoned.

Newly remodeled Full Kitchen and Bathroom offer a Full-Sized Fridge, Dishwasher, LG Full-Sized Washer/Dryer (instead of the tiny Thin-Twin Stacked ones that won't accommodate a bedspread), Microwave, Gas Stove\Oven, Coffee Maker, Rice Cooker, and all the cooking and serving wares you'll need. The lanai provides a great place to enjoy your dinner and glass of wine, or that morning cup of coffee while you awaken to the delightful sounds of the many species of tropical birds, with a gentle, medicinal breeze. Ocean View, and Lush Tropical Foliage can be enjoyed from the Lanai, and a view of the West Maui Mtns. Serta Perfect Sleeper Queen Bed will provide hours of much needed sleep a long flight or all-day Whale Watching Dinner Cruise. Year round average 85 Degree temps will bask you in warmth and make you forget all your troubles as soon as you put away your belongings. Everything you'll need is here, so just bring something to swim in, or play pickleball in. Many great shops and restaurants are super close by if you'd like to sample some Hawaiian culinary treats, or add to your wardrobe. The Shops of Wailea are 5 minutes away, as well as World Class Golf Courses. Any activity you can imagine is readily available too.

Super Fast-Internet and Cable TV are provided. Double-paned Solid Windows & Doors keep noise and dirt out and the cool air in. No Jalousie windows. Custom Entertainment Ctr/Closet/Drawers offer ample storage for your belongings, and is built to perfectly house the TV.

Come to Maui. You won't find a more affordable and memorable place to stay, or desirable vacation Mecca. Romance abounds on Maui. You won't need to search for your favorite getaway destination, ever again.
Mahalo,
Daniel

Best place in Kihei!

This condo is even better than the listing! Clean…clean.This condo shows pride of ownership and I loved it! Location is amazing if you love to walk ..or, if you don’t. Closer to the South end of Kihei and right across the street from the beach. Bed is comfortable, plenty of towels, beach chairs & umbrella, kitchen is well-stocked and linens are very nice. Mini-Split AC works amazing and is very efficient.and quiet. I hope to stay here again on my next trip to Kihei. The complex is very well-taken care of and very clean…pools are both heated and very well-maintained. Daniel, the host, is very attentive and has great communication. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.

Great Place for Couple or Couple w/1-2 kids

The condo worked out for us just fine! The only problem was if the resort had a shopping cart to help haul groceries to your condo! And, a few more benches along the sidewalk to take a rest from walking up hill. It would be nice if both pool areas were the same. The owner, Daniel, kept in touch with us which was nice. Enjoyed our stay!

Great location! Clean and comfortable

One of the nicest rentals I’ve ever stayed at. Great balcony with an ocean view. Everything was very clean from the bathroom to the bed sheets. Furniture was comfortable. Beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas were a nice touch. Fully equipped kitchen and large washer and dryer to keep your clothes clean and sand free! Especially helpful as I was traveling light. Had one minor issue with check in as I couldn’t find the entry code, but Daniel was quick to respond and provide the code once contacted. Overall a great experience and would definitely go back!

We enjoyed our stay in Kihei. The property was very beautiful with tropical trees and flowers everywhere. The beach was right across the street. I would recommend staying here, especially for the price. Daniel; the owner, is very easy to deal with.

My boyfriend and I stayed here last week and had a great time! The apartment is super clean and very convenient to Kam I/II/III, restaurants and water sport equipment rentals.

Clean and Cozy, Good Location, Lots of amenities

Thank you very much for providing your place to stay on our trip through Maui! Our schedule was very busy, so we did not spend much time in the local area, but the room was very cozy, it had a nice bed and was very clean. Having accessibility to the chairs, blankets, snorkel, cooler, and toiletries was extremely convenient and much appreciated.

Perfect location!

Daniel's condo is literally across the street from the beach. We felt very safe walking down the strip with our kids even at night. There's an excellent mexican restaurant next door. We went during sunset and enjoyed the overall ambience and food. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking to stay in an area with less traffic and a calmer vibe than Lahaina.

Awesome

We were extremely happy with our rental, Daniel was great with all interactions and we would definitely stay again. The rental was just what we needed for the two of us. We loved the privacy of the lanai and the plants and birds were wonderful. The local restaurants within walking distance were great. The beaches across the street were easily accessible and we saw whales, turtles, and awesome sunsets.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Weirich

Host profile image
At one time I owned 3 condos in this Kihei Akahi complex. I did the short-term rental thing for about 14 years before selling 2 of them. I kept this studio because it out-rented all 3. After Covid, I moved into it myself for a couple years, so I added lots of upgrades for my own enjoyment. I trust you'll appreciate them too!

Why they chose this property

Kihei Akahi has long been established as one, if not THE finest complex in South Kihei. Beautifully landscaped grounds, lush foliage, tennis courts ( I used to be semi-good YEARS ago), very clean units, pools, spacious parking, and great security. Right across the street from the finest Beaches in South Maui and very near great shopping and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Many people comment on their love for the tropical birds that come alive when the sun comes up in the morning. Nature's own alarm clock. Much better than the one that gets you up for work every day back home.
Some unique features and major upgrades not found in most condos in the complex are . . . Solid Windows and Doors (no jalousies), Spilt AC (only studio in the complex with this), Dishwasher (very few Studios have one), Custom Closet/Drawers/Entertainment Ctr (most units have sliding mirrored closet doors) - built to house the LG 55" 4K Smart TV. Full-Size LG Washer/Dryer (most units, even 1&2 BR's, have the tiny stacked Whirlpool W/D's which won't wash a bedspread or more than a few beach towels at once).
