We had a great time at this place. The location was great. The beach was just across the street and restaurants were within walking distance. The bed was comfortable and the lanai was a lovely place for relaxing. We would stay here again.
We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen for all we needed including electric tea kettle. Appreciated beach chairs and umbrella . The lanai lovely garden and ocean view.
My wife and I had a great time. Amenities were great and we really appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear and boogie boards that had us well prepared for the ocean!
We loved this condo! So close to shops, restaurants, and the beach. We saw turtles, every single day a 5 min walk from our condo!
The condo was clean, very well equipped, and updated! We definitely will stay here again if our travels take us to Maui once more!!
Beautiful condo. Everything you needed inside plus more. The owners take very good care of this property. Beautiful Ocean view and 5 minutes to the beautiful beach and plenty of restaurants. We highly recommend this unit!!
The property was just as described. My wife says the kitchen was stocked better than any other place we have stayed, so there's that. The collection of beach gear was great, too. Easy walk to the beach and many restaurants. The toiletry supplies (shampoos, body wash, even sunscreen spray) was a collection of stuff left by prior guests, but it works. We contributed to the collection. Really nice having a dedicated parking space, too.
We had a great 9-day stay with our family in this condo. Would definitely recommend.
PROS:
- terrific location close proximity to the beach, pools and town.
- beach/snorkel and tennis/pickle ball equipment
- nice, updated kitchen with everything you need.
- great ocean view from balcony
CONS:
- some minor updates would have been nice, for example for very worn-out living space couch and old toilet seat
- at first sight the condo was very clean but some more attention could be paid to dusting corners, decorative items and shower area.
The unit was well kept and well appointed. It had everything needed for the perfect holiday, even beach chairs, umbrella, snorkelling equipment, body boards, cooler and ice packs. Everything needed to enjoy the beach a quick walk away. If the beach is not your thing, the property has two pools with bbq, fridge and microwave available pool side. The owner Steve is friendly and accommodating, and responds quickly to inquiries. Steve has done everything to provide a fantastic place for a dream holiday.
The property is across the street from a nice quiet beach with many local eateries within walking distance. The condo was very comfortable and had everything needed for our trip.
Barb and I really enjoyed our stay. The Condo had everything we needed for a day at the beach, Road to Hana, etc.
Beach's and excellent restaurants were within walking distance.
Pools were never crowded and parking was a breeze.
My family stayed for only two nights, but the condo was great! It was well equipped and has an awesome view! It is a very short walk to the beach and amenities.
We had a hard time to come there but when it was all done properly, we had a fantastic time. The unit was great, we had all we needed. The best: the location. Only a short walk of about 2 minutes, and the beach was yours. We strongly recommend this place, and we will come back ...
Spacious and comfortable. Nice ocean view from the lanai. Had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Maui. Right across the street from the beach. This was an enjoyable place to stay!
Our holiday was amazing. The weather was beautiful everyday. The view of the ocean and the sunsets from the lanai were amazing. The condo was very comfortable, nicely stocked and clean. Short walk to the beach and shopping. Mom and I got our 10,000 steps in every day. Thank you Steven & Family.
Our family has stayed in many different units at Kihei Akahi since discovering it in 2007. The location is absolutely prime being directly across the street from a perfect beach. Maui pretty much requires a car to visit properly but from this location it would be possible to walk to all amenities and other needs if desired.
The opening up of the kitchen to the rest of the living space is such an improvement and the island is the perfect space for food prep. Even though I was solo on this trip I decided to try C510 out rather than my usual studio choice. I did not find any issue with elevator noise and only an occasional time of voices along the walkway after I was in bed (I do tend to retire before 11pm) The kitchen is very well stocked with the right amount of dishes and plenty of glasses. I would have liked a smaller sized frypan and a designated salad bowl with serving utensils would be a good addition.
My only complaint was the quality of the internet service. Lots of disconnection times were experienced. The promo listed a new Smart TV with Netflix which I was quite looking forward to but found the Netflix was unable to load with an internet error given. At Steve's suggestion I unplugged the router and reconnected but nothing changed. Not sure why the router and modem are located on the bedroom dresser which is somewhat annoying at night due to its many blinking lights. After several days of continued trying Netflix did load and although the screens were in Spanish I was able to enter my account info and begin choosing a show when suddenly the connection was lost again. I gave up at that point.
The lanai is terrific with a very good view of the ocean, boats and whales too! There is a time of day with full sun but there is almost always an area to be partially shaded if desired. I always bring a battery operated candle to have when eating dinner at the lanai table - just for ambiance I guess. Breakfast is always great on the lanai with all the morning bird noises and visitations if you encourage them!
The bathroom renovation is also a great improvement over the standard layout and the additional small closet in the bedroom was a great idea. Thanks for including the beach chairs and that they are in excellent condition. Although I did not use there seemed to be a good selection of other beach goodies in the closet. The bed is very comfortable with nice bedding.
We stayed at Steve's condo May 18-25th and are sad to have to leave. The accommodations at the condo are exactly what is needed in a vacation home. Plenty of towels, kitchen utensils, plastic cups for drinks at the pool...the list goes on. All you need is a stop at Costco for food and drinks and your all set! Beach directly across the street to swim or snorkel and watch the sunset! We thoroughly enjoyed the grounds at Kihei Akahi everything is beautifully manicured and maintained. Steve's condo really shows pride of ownership and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else but here on our next trip!
Much Mahalo Steve

The downside is the noise from garbage and elevator right outside bedroom window, people don't follow the no garbage dumping until 8 rule unfortunately woke me every morning
This is a beautiful condo with a well-furnished kitchen. We loved our stay here. There were only a few negatives, but the positives definitely outweighed the negatives. The internet is spotty, so don't plan on going back to watch Netflix in the evenings. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also the bedroom is directly across the hall from the elevator and you can hear everything through the slatted windows. If you're a light sleeper like I am, you may wake up frequently throughout the night to noise.
Everything we needed was there. Stores, restaurants and beach within easy walking distance. Steve's responses to questions were very quick and helpful.
Enjoyed this condo, owner Steve is very nice, answered email immediately when we had a minor issue quickly resolved, great beach equipment, well equipped, OK ventilation with fans ( we didn't use the a/c at all) digital lock on door convenient, locking screen door, very nice complex, this condo was very quiet except for some elevator noise in a.m but did not even hear with ear plugs in, good wi-fi, nice view from lanai - would stay here again.
I have rented all over Kihei and this is a very nice unit for the price. Steve is a pleasure to work with if there is a problem.

My wife and I live in Sunny California near the base of the Sierra Mountains. We love the mountains but especially love to visit the ocean. We vacationed in Maui a few years ago and absolutely loved it. We decided to invest in a little piece of paradise so that we can come back often and visit this beautiful island. We have 3 kids who like to swim, snorkel and scuba dive so Maui is the perfect place for us.
We chose Kihei Akahi because it's affordable and has several amenities that we enjoy. Some of which are Golfing, minutes to the beach, site seeing, hiking, snorkeling and diving, fitness center and gym, as well as shopping and both casual and upscale restaurants.
We enjoy being close to great restaurants and shopping. We enjoy the 2 beautiful pools, BBQ areas and the tennis courts. But of course our favorite is the awesome beaches across the street.
