Hawaiian Paradise Escape Across Street from Beach
We liked the pool a lot! We also liked to play tennis and there were 2 rackets and tennisballs in the apartment. Great! The kitchen was easy to use and well equipped. The shower is very nice and the bed great. You could also use all the beach equipment. There is a beach litterally across the street. We rather liked to hike and found the location great because it was easy to get everywhere on the island. Also foodland is quite close and in Kahului, which is a 15 min drive, is every shop you want. So nothing missing. We had a great stay!

Oceanfront Kihei Condo Free SUP & Resort Pools!
Lovely condo with great amenities in a fantastic location. Apartment was peaceful and very comfortable. Jill was a communicative and helpful host.

Spectacular Oceanfront views!
Beautiful space- views and ocean front sounds of crashing waves were amazing. And so much sea turtle activity. Never stayed in a place with such a well stocked kitchen with pans and cooking implements. First rate. Very quiet area and a larger beach for swimming is a couple blocks walk away.

Incomparable Maui Sunset condo, includes all taxes
First and foremost was the excellent, prompt communication with the host. Kyra always responded to any questions, and offered suggestions that encouraged us to explore the beautiful island. The condo itself has everything one would expect, from a very comfortable bed, to a fully equipped kitchen, BBQ's cleaned daily in the beautifully maintained grounds, and a short walk to the beach. Also, with a security guard present, one feels very safe. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this AirBnb! The condo was very clean and had all the amenities we needed (beach towels, chairs, coffee maker plus more that we didn't even use!). We really enjoyed making coffee and relaxing on the outside patio in the mornings. There is a cute beach right across the way from the condo, but it's otherwise not very walkable to shops or restaurants so I recommend renting a car (parking is easy at the complex) or bikes if you plan to stay here as downtown Kihei is really close by but will be easier to get to by car as the road to get there is fairly busy and didn't have consistent sidewalks. The location is great as it's a very short drive to downtown Kihei and you're not far from more major roadways if you want to head into Paia or upcountry for the day. The hosts were also incredibly helpful with recommendations and highly responsive! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay - we'll be back!

Spectacular ocean views @IslandSurf June Spec $149
My wife and I had a great time at Todd’s place. The location is great, lots of food trucks and coffee shops steps away from the condo. There is a friendly surf spot just in front of the condo. The condo is very well equipped with brand new appliances. I totally recommend this place!

Beachy Bright Maui Vista location
The location was perfect! Right in the middle of great restaurants & beaches. Also with comfortable driving distances to other beaches. Mary has in her binder & all throughout the condo, information & instructions- all very helpful. I will definitely book with her again!

Oceanfront penthouse with amazing views at Kauhale
Really nice! Loved the view and the building is perfect direction for sunset. Condo was clean and big. The only thing I would say is that they should maybe add Tupperware and ziplocks but other than that the condo and host were great!!

The place was perfect for our stay. Tracy was very helpful with lots of recommendations. South Maui gardens is right next to the Airbnb and has a lot of food options. Kalama park is right opposite to it and also lot of restaurants we could just walk and go to. Place was clean and just as described. Perfect for us as a couple.

Super Discount Rates at our Oceanfront Penthouse!
We enjoyed our time in Kihei. It’s centrally located, has great parking and is perfect for relaxation. You look right out on the ocean, have direct beach access, and lots of restaurants nearby. We would stay here again.

Hot Deals! Limited Availability- Maui Getaway
Great location, very close to the beach.The room is very clean, fully equipped, the owner prepared all kinds of beach equipment, very convenient, warm and comfortable👍

Boho Beach Retreat *OCEAN VIEWS*
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect for Exploring Maui! This was our first trip to Maui, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The location was central to everything, making it so easy to get to all our planned activities and food spots. Whether heading to the Road to Hana, hanging at the beaches or having dinner, this Airbnb made it all convenient. The space itself was well-equipped, just the right size for two. While it may not be ideal for a group of 3, it had everything we needed, plus an unbeatable ocean view that made every morning feel magical. On top of all that, the host Sarah and Joe were incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring our stay was smooth and enjoyable. 10 stars if we could give them! We absolutely loved our week here and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay in Maui. Mahalo!!

Maui Kihei Studio - Gem Steps from Beach & Ocean
Very lovingly and beautifully furnished accommodation, very modern with a great large bathroom. Walking distance to the beach, nice surroundings and easy parking. Would come back in a heartbeat:)

Beachfront Maui Oasis- Fully Remodeled, Beautiful
This is truly a hidden gem. The condo building is quite small with only 3 floors, no elevator, and sits directly on the beach. It seems that it is part of a neighborhood rather than a commercially developed area. A neighbors, who rents every year, shared the walk ability to a restaurant and wine bar literally around the corner. The pool was spotless with an abundance of chaise lounges. In short, the location is fabulous. The unit was also a find. It was as shown in the pictures, very clean, and well appointed. Being on the 2nd floor it afforded a stunning view. We truly wanted for nothing. Patrick was wonderful to work with being personable, responsive and helpful from the very beginning. The only down side is the heat in the bedroom. It was intolerably hot for sleeping as there is no a/c in this room. There is a pull out sofa bed in the LR that we seriously considered. We opted to freeze in the LR in order to try to sleep in the BR. All in, it was a great place!! Highly recommend!

Tropical Kihei Resort | 3 Min Walk to Beach | A/C
Great host and great home! Dmitrys home had everything we needed for our vacation and more, much better than a stay at a hotel. Perfect location, very close to food and markets and we felt we were right in the middle to explore the whole island. See you again next summer!

Lovely Oceanfront Condo with pool
What a beautiful place. It was very clean and spacious. The view from the lanai was great! It was a perfect place for us to explore Maui from. I would highly recommend staying here!

Your guide to Kihei
Introduction
Blessed with six miles of coastline, the beachfront town of Kihei is located in one of the driest and sunniest sections of Maui. It’s a beach lovers’ destination where once-in-a-lifetime sunsets seem to happen daily, affordable shopping and dining options are numerous, and condo rentals are near safe, swimmable beaches like Kamaole Beach Park III that invite underwater exploration with just a mask and snorkel. Kihei is also central to many of the island’s more popular destinations, such as ʻIao Valley, Lahaina, and Maui’s North Shore. Unlike the highly developed and resort-laden Kāʻanapali, Kihei retains a laid-back dose of local flavor, including roadside food stands, farmers’ markets, and families selling homemade wares.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kihei
Like all of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui is both blessed with pleasantly warm weather year-round as well as a variety of microclimates capable of delivering sun, drizzle, and sometimes a deluge of rain in a matter of minutes. The South Shore, Kahului, Kihei, Wailea, and Makena are drier, while the northern end of the island, from Kaanapali toward Kapalua, deliver a greater chance of rain. Pack for daytime temperatures in the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, with evening temperatures usually falling between the mid-60s and low 70s across the island.
The only destination warranting special attention is the Haleakalā Visitor Center, situated 9,740 feet atop Haleakalā National Park, where temperatures can drop into the 40s or lower and wind is likely.
Top things to do in Kihei
Road to Hana
If you’re a fan of scenic road trips, this winding 10-hour, 64-mile journey defines “unforgettable,” delivering around 600 hairpin turns, 60 bridges (many one-way), and countless waterfalls along the way. Most visitors will stop in the quaint town of Hana before turning back, but if weather permits, you can take the road less traveled for another 44 miles to complete the entire loop, where the Pools at 'Ohe'o in Haleakalā National Park and the young lava fields of Haleakalā await.
Humpback Whale Watching
If you’re planning to visit Maui between November and May, there’s a good chance you’ll spot North Pacific humpback whales migrating offshore. Whale-watching tours depart from the harbors of Lahaina and Maʻalaea. Those who prefer to stay on land can watch the whales from Maʻalaea Bay. Just remember to bring binoculars for optimal viewing.
Haleakalā Crater
Even if you don’t wake up early enough to watch the sunrise from this spectacular 1 million-year-old, 10,000-foot summit, the 2-hour drive up the mountain from the base of Haleakalā National Park can offer a dramatic four-seasons-in-one-day adventure. Just be sure to bring a jacket or sweatshirt, as high winds and 40-degree Fahrenheit temperatures are not uncommon.
