Let's be frank: with recent disasters and the economy, Maui needs visitors! What better way to help the island recover than by visiting this tropical paradise? Our 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo, will give you a chance to relax and with our spring-into-summer rate (through September!), you'll be able to devote your hard-earned vacation savings to exploring Maui and its many eateries and attractions like the Maui Ocean Center. You can also buy your own groceries and eat-in, thanks to our fully-equipped kitchen.

This condo the beautiful grounds of Kihei Akahi (legal and resort-zoned) is the ideal home-away-from-home. Make it your base for exploring the beautiful Valley Isle: from the 'Iao Valley to the Up-Country ranchland; from prime surfing spots at Pa'ia to the spectacular Hana Highway to the mystical Haleakala -- the dormant volcano rising up literally from Kihei's back yard.

The Kama'ole reefs and Molokini, make for a snorkeller's paradise! Spend time hovering over colorful, exotic fish, and maybe even track an octopus! (Just stay away from the reefs and the sea urchins!)

Check out some of the many diverse eateries on Maui, from creative food trucks, to fast-food chains, right up to the elegant Cafe O'Lei and the uber-pricey (but SO worth it!) experience that is Mama's Fish House.

DO YOU WORK BY REMOTE AND NEED TO "KEEP UP", BUT WITH A CHANGE OF SCENERY? We provide high-speed internet. and the dining table is perfect for your laptop, notes and whatever else you need.

All of this is priced where a family can afford it -- currently, more than 40% below that of the average hotel room (according to figures from the Hawai'i Tourism Authority).

Check out our video -- https://youtu.be/mbjVF5fAPBU.

Our fully furnished, one-bedroom (sleeps 4) condo has a tropical theme, with works by local Maui artists. You'll find a king-size bed in the bedroom, queen-size sofa-bed in the living room, deluxe kitchen and 1 bathroom, and the grounds boast two pools with BBQs, tennis and pickleball.

Convinced yet? Check out our reviews (and please note: we don't *ask* for 5-star ratings!).

Whatever your Hawai'ian adventure, our place can be your place to come home to.

* Newly renovated
* Tastefully furnished with island living in mind
* King size bed in bedroom
* Queen size hide-a-bed sofa in living room
* Free wi-fi
* Towels and chairs for the beach
* Washer and dryer in the unit
* Easy access to all parts of the island
* Two pools and tennis courts
* BBQs

NOTE: for full disclosure, there are cameras at the two pools; however, these are to ensure people are abiding by the house rules and the video is not recorded.

But it's also VERY popular! People -- many of whom are returning guests -- book our place months -- sometimes over a year -- in advance. So choice dates won't last long!

ALOHA!

Grandson in Maui

This was my grandson’s first trip to Maui & we were very happy with our Kihei Akahi accommodations. Great communication with Drew & Amelia both prior to & during our stay. I had a problem with the outdoor shade which was quickly resolved. Location just above Kameole II is perfect with easy access to local restaurants & shops. Unit is adequately supplied with kitchen needs. Nice perk to have soaps, shampoo, laundry soap supplied as well. With the roller shade on the lanai and lots of fans barely required use of AC- & it was hot during our stay. Would stay again & recommend to friends.

Very relaxing, yet close to everything.

Very comfortable, very quiet. Easy walk to Kam II or Kam III. Reserved parking is nice. The unit had AC, but we didn’t use it. We ran the fans and kept the windows and lanai open when we were there. The lanai has a sunshade that you lower during the day to keep the direct sun out. The unit had a variety of beach chairs boogie boards, a wagon, and soft sided coolers. The coolers were great for getting fresh fish or poke, or for taking a cool beverage to the beach to toast the sunset. I walked down to the beach each morning for snorkeling, which I found better on Kam III because of the way the little waves came in. Saw many turtles there.

Amelia and Drew's condo is as exactly as described and is a well stocked condo; really a home away from home. You couldn't ask for a better location with the complex right across the street from Kamaole II beach. Added bonus was the host provided detailed information about the condo, and even recommended places to visit, eat and shop. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Amazing location, great amenities

Communication with host was impeccable; very responsible and easy to work with. He was also flexible to allow us to extend our stay. The condo is located at an amazing place, everything is there (kitchen, nice pool, parking, wifi, very close to beach, dishwasher and even washing machine, sun chairs and umbrella, nice beach towels, etc.). I wouldn't have let an adult sleep in the sofa bed; you can feel the springs, but for a kid, it was fine. We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Holiday

The location of the unit was wonderful and it was very comfortable. It had all the things one needed for cooking and beach supplies. The air condition was a relief during those hot days. The blind for the lanai was a great idea during the heat of the day. My only recommendation is new cushions for the two lower chairs on the lanai.

Great stay

The most accommodating location we have ever stayed out. When out airline changed our flight last minute, they worked with us and let us do a significantly later checked out so my kids could nap before our red eye flight. It was a great location and walking to distance to many places also. There was no door to the bedroom and the bathroom needed a good deep clean but overall it was a perfect stay for us.

The condo is set perfectly, about 900 feet up the driveway crosswalk from the beach. It's quiet, yet close to everything in Kihei.

About the host

Hosted by Amelia

Host profile image
Amelia and Drew live in East Sooke BC (just outside Victoria), with 2 dogs and a cat. We have 5 grown children (and 4 grandkids) living across Canada and in Australia. We went to Maui to "check it out" in 2011 because some friends of ours called it "Paradise", and within a week, we had bought this place. Our friends did not over-sell it! We're both sort-of retired -- Amelia is a professional facilitator and practitioner in public consultation and engagement and Drew is a pastor, writer and recovering broadcaster.

We've come to consider Maui "home", diving into the history and culture of the place, contributing to efforts like the Maui Ocean Center and A Cup of Cold Water (a "care van" which distributes food, clothing and other essentials to the unhoused around the island); when a native Mauian introduced us to a meeting in Denver as "fellow Mauians", we knew we'd been accepted.

Over the years, we've met many wonderful people through hosting them at our place and hope you'll join those ranks!

Why they chose this property

We've seen many wonderful places in our travels around the world, but Maui is unique, for its combination of unspoilt beauty and comforts-of-home amenities. We had initially looked for property right on the beach, but choosing this place at Kihei Akahi -- across the street from the beach -- has allowed us to keep our rent at rates a family can afford.

This part of Kihei is eminently walkable, with restaurants at every price range, a supermarket, and shopping and other features within a mile -- a flat mile, too!

And, of course, there's the beach: it's not connected to any resort; dedicated lifeguards are on the job seven days a week, and people of all shapes and sizes -- with their families! -- love it for hanging out, swimming, shore-based whale-watching, and dodging turtles!


What makes this property unique

View - CHECK.
Beach access - CHECK.
Pool - CHECK.
Walkability: that became one of our top criteria for any place we would buy, this place has that. We walk to the beach in the morning to swim, then walk the length of the beach and come back via the road. You can walk to some neat restaurants, like Cafe O'Lei and Moose McGillicuddy's, as well as shops and 3 supermarkets. We love the farmers' markets and the weekend swap meet in Kahului is worth the drive (the Philip Soo batiks were purchased there). We also love the fact that total strangers say 'hi' on the street and that you can feel like a regular in a restaurant or bar just by coming back.
