About this property

Freshly Renovated Corner Studio With View of the Ocean

Welcome to our tastefully renovated and decorated Kihei Akahi studio D-301, that we affectionately call “Our Pearl”.

BOOK with CONFIDENCE
Kihei Akahi is a Hotel-zoned property and is not subject to the new Maui County regulations regarding the phasing out of short term rentals in apartment zoned properties.

Kihei Akahi is located directly across from three of South Maui’s most beautiful beaches, Kamaole I, II and III. All three of the Kamaole beaches have lifeguards, showers and restroom facilities and are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding/body surfing, walking, playing volleyball or just hanging out and enjoying the warm sun, perfect water, swimming with giant sea turtles and watching the magnificent whales from late December to early May.

What sets our studio apart from the other studios at Kihei Akahi are the upgraded polarized dual pane vinyl windows (no jalousies) and a dishwasher (only studio to have a dishwasher).

The Kihei Akahi complex has beautifully maintained grounds, two pools, bbq grills, a tennis/pickle ball court and is centrally located within walking distance to several fine restaurants, shopping and activity centers. Our condo is located at the back of the complex away from the road noise and has a private feeling with great views.

From our private lanai you have the benefit of 180 degree views of ocean, the island of Lanai, stunning sunsets during the summer, West Maui Mountains, sun and moon rises and the leeward slopes of the mighty Haleakala.

Being a corner unit, the additional side window provides good light, views of Haleakala and a wonderful breeze that flows through our condo.

You will have the most comfortable and relaxed stay in our condo. We have updated our unit with new decor and furnishings: a dining table that can seat 4, a Beautyrest World Class Brentford Luxury Firm Queen Size Bed, a sofa, a comfy chair, a lanai set and a beautiful custom made tv armoire that has 2 closets and drawers for your clothes as well as extra storage space for your luggage when you unpack and settle in.

For your indoor entertainment, we have a 39' smart TV.

There is a hanging pot rack with a full set of cookware and the gas range is great to cook on with a microwave/fan/light above it. In addition to a coffee maker (we provide the filters), there is a tea pot, a blender, a toaster oven and a spice rack complete with spices. The refrigerator is full size and we are the only studio in Kihei Akahi that has a dishwasher.

When you head out to the beach there are 2 Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs for you to use, a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella, beach towels and a cooler with wheels. There are also plastic cups, plates and utensils for you to take to the beach or the pool, as well as to use in the condo.

Perfect Condo!
We had a wonderful stay in the Kihei Akahi unit D301. It was super clean, well-stocked, updated, with a very comfortable queen bed, and had everything we could want. It also had a lovely distant ocean view. Becky and Mark are outstanding hosts who left a welcoming note, nuts, and chocolates. So very thoughtful. We will be back for sure. Phyllis and Bill

Perfect get-away in Kihei
This studio is in the back of the property where it is quiet. I did not hear a single human being while I was in the unit. With the windows and patio door open, all I could hear was the wind blowing through the trees and the birds chirping. Everything I needed was provided. I will be coming back.

2 Weeks in Paradise
We expected a beautiful stay in Maui but were so very pleased with the unexpected comfortable, peaceful, and feeling of being at home in this cozy nest. Being in the very last building away from the street noise/activity might make you think this place is isolated. You are from the hubbub but the lanai lets you know you are in paradise. Surrounded by lush tree tops full of beautiful flowers alive with chattering birds, mountain tops on both sides, and the ocean before you, this is a prime location. Every night when we weren't on the beach watching the sunset, we were on the lanai feeling the magic of Maui. This is labeled a studio but it has everything you need at your fingertips. Becky and Mark have thought of everything. No need to go anywhere else if you want a remarkable visit to Maui. This place is the best!!

I need more stars!
Truly wish we could give more than five stars. To begin with the communication with the owners has been exceptional. Then our first night here we got in late, the kindest security guard met us in the parking lot and helped us locate our parking spot and made sure we got to where we needed to be. The front office staff were very kind and helpful. The property is exactly what is in the listing. Everything was perfect. We even scheduled another trip back here for the Spring. This set the bar for me for VRBO.

Peaceful condo, beautiful view, close to beach
This was the perfect place to stay - beautiful view, quiet and peaceful (birds singing all day), close to the beach, pools, walking distance to restaurants, and the condo has everything you could want, including a full kitchen, laundry, and all the beach gear--chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, coolers. She thought of everything! Perfect Maui stay!

Loved this place so much !
This very roomy studio has everything you need for your stay in Maui. One of the best beaches is a 5 minute walk away. We cooked most of our own meals as the Saturday farmer market down the road had lots of fresh produce. There is an organic grocery store a 10 minute walk away as well. Plenty of towels and a change of sheets are available and beach chairs and coolers...even lanterns if you go to see the sunrise at Haleakala (bring a winter coat!). Myna birds roost next to the condo at sunset each evening. There is a cacophony of activity. We loved it. However, the birds are active at night as well from time to time as are the roosters. With the a/c on you can't hear them. I, personally loved listening to the birds, that's part of the reason I love Hawaii so much. Becky was lovely to deal with. Thank you for letting us stay at your condo.

Great location with everything you need
This condo might be small but the owners have maximized the space and storage so you have everything you need and it feels larger than it is. It was great to have an actual queen size bed with night tables in a studio apartment. The owners provide meticulous instructions about the unit and the resort so finding things was very easy. The beach chairs and umbrella looked new. Contacting the owners was also very easy. The unit is on the quieter side of the building with 190 degree spectacular views of West Maui and Mount Haleakala (and a sliver of the ocean). The resort is in a great location, across from KAM II with many shops and restaurants within a 15 min. walk. Would definitely rent this unit again. Thanks Becky and Mark!

Comfortable and convenient
The most amazing thing about the property is the ocean view from the lanai. I knew it had one from the pictures but it's much better in person. We watched the sunset from there looking for the green spark. The place is clean and comfortable and comes packed with a lot extra things you can use to help ease your trip. I recommend it to any single person or couple looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Thorman

Host profile image
In 2002 we vacationed on Maui with our two sons, fell in love with Maui and moved to Kihei the following year. Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 20+ years we truly appreciated the sunny days, perfect ocean water and never tire of the beautiful sunsets and rainbows.

Why they chose this property

Kihei Akahi is close to everything that one needs to relax on Maui. Three of the most beautiful beaches (Kamaole I, II and III) are across the street. There are restaurants, shopping and activity centers within walking distance. The grounds of the Kihei Akahi are well maintained, are filled with lovely tropical flowers, plumeria trees, breadfruit trees, banana trees, palm and monkey pod trees. The birds that also call Kihei Akahi their home will sing to you throughout the day!
