Oceanfront Hale Hui Kai 313 Large Lanai, AC, Incredible Views on Keawakapu Beach

Rental Details

Property Overview

Located on Keawakapu Beach, one of Maui's best swimming and snorkeling beaches, with unobstructed ocean views to the outer islands and beyond, this third-floor condo sets a spectacular tone for your ultimate Maui beach adventure. One of only two condo properties on locals-favorite Keawakapu Beach, Hale Hui Kai 313 is an air-conditioned, tastefully renovated oasis positioned a one-minute beach stroll from one of the most vibrant snorkeling reefs on Maui's south shore.

At first glance, the tasteful tropical decor may seem just that - but look closer, and you'll find authentic treasures lifted from Maui's past. Original paintings from iconic Maui artist Rik Fitch, a vintage utility pot rescued from the old Lahaina Sugar Plantation repurposed as lanai décor, a hand-made ukulele from Honolulu fashioned around the opening of a coconut shell, a bench salvaged from a reno at the ocean front Wailea Point, and an array of now-rare Koa pieces are among the pieces lovingly collected and displayed by the unit's owner, a rare original owner.

The view never gets old from the oversized beach-front lanai, which offers up views of Molokini Crater and Kahoolawe Island. There is also a refreshing fresh water pool a few feet from the beach.

The unit offers every essential to create your Maui memories. Prepare your island feast in the well-equipped kitchen, outfitted with all the accoutrements and small appliances you will need. Lightning-fast internet (wired or wireless) serves every room, beach gear (towels, umbrella, beach chairs and cooler) and beach gear is included.

The Master Suite is fitted with a high-quality King bed and the second bedroom features a Queen. The bedrooms feature individual climate-controlled air conditioning stations, and the living room/kitchen areas are cooled by prevailing trade winds right off the ocean. Sleep to the sound of the lapping surf if you desire.

Hale Hui Kai 313 is tucked away on its own slice of beach paradise, yet a convenient walk to South Kihei's many restaurants and shopping options.

I’ll start with the pros : Nice view and spacious condo Cons : Lanai cushion furniture was all worn out and flat, beach chairs had ripped pockets 1of 2 beach umbrell had bent poles,lanai railing was not clean when we checked in lanai table was dirty sliding door to the living area from the lanai did not latch close so the security method was a stick in the track for the door The screen in the kitchen window was dirty to the extent where it would not allow the Cross ventilation breeze to pass through . One morning we open up the dishwasher to find about 1000 ants inside upon telling the property management company about this a day and a half later they dropped by some insect deterrent for us to eradicate the pests. The roller shade in the second bedroom has no means of control, and you literally have to wind the shade up and down on the barrel by hand. The sliding door in the primary en suite couldn’t be left open for any extent of time because when you close the screen behind it didn’t close properly leaving it a jar and provided access for insects to easily get into the unit if left open at night. The crank windows in the primary bedrm were seized closed and appeared to have been in operable for an extended period of time. Simple checks by the cleaning staff between rentals and general ongoing maintenance would be helpful

If you are a beach bum like us this is the place for you. We brought our own bedding as we are picky and prefer down pillows and comforters. Wish there was AC in the living room. Family vibes and residents at the condo. When someone smokes you can smell it in your unit if the doors are open. This isn't the fault of the host. Lots of tiny ants in the bathroom but this is also common in Hawaii. Odd though no ants in the kitchen just the bathrooms. Our code didn't work at check in but they fixed it in 5 min. Very helpful and very clear communication. Can't wait to return.

Our stay was fantastic! Our Vrbo was our home away from home. We had what we needed to relax and have fun! It was clean and a short walk to the beach which was great for lounging, playing in the water and snorkeling close to shore. For a beginner it was fantastic! The room provided beach chairs, an umbrella, towels and pool noodles. We made use of the kitchen cooking our own meals while the AC kept us cool. It was nice surprise to share donuts and coffee with others in the rotunda with others that was provided by the condo. It would be nicer if a restaurant was within walking distance but that's not the fault of the owner.

This perfectly placed unit gave us spectacular sunsets, immediate beach access and a wonderful central location. Ian and his crew were super responsive to any concerns. The unit was quiet and well equipped with beach chairs etc. We can’t wait to return!

The apartment is very comfortable. Plenty of room for the four of us. The place itself is a bit outdated but very functional. I appreciated very clean towels and linens. The kitchen if fully equipped. Best of all is the location. It is right in the beach! The beach is ideal. Crystal clear water, no rocks, the sand line is long enough for a decent walk. We really enjoyed our stay and most definitely will come back!

Such a lovely place to stay! The apartment is furnished with really cool retro furniture, making it feel a bit more special than a generic condo. The beach outside is fantastic and we often walked down to the left, at the end of the beach you can get onto the Wailea boardwalk taking you all the way down the coast. We had a small issue with the air con that was fixed immediately by the manager, really great communication. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay!

What an amazing find! We will most definitely be coming back to stay in this place. The location is super easy to access Kihei and the highway. The beach here is beautiful and fun for all ages. The apartment is in a very well managed building with a cool design. The interior of the apartment is very comfortable, clean, and well equipped. I really miss sitting outside, sipping on a drink and watching the sun set. Or sitting outside, sipping on fresh coffee watching the calm morning ocean. Communication with the rental agency was always very prompt and they were even able to accommodate a last-minute extension due to a special circumstance. 10/10 would recommend!

I’m very familiar with that part of Maui, so I knew in advance how great the location is. Fantastic view from lanai including sunsets. Keawakapu is consistently rated one of best beaches in world, and never disappoints. Swim with turtles, snorkel, boogie board, rent a SUP from next door is all steps away from Hale Hui Kai. I was there with 3 teenagers and was great they could walk to get ice cream, nails done, shops in Kihei and Wailea. The unit itself was clean and well appointed. I prefer open windows to AC and was fine with setup of AC in bedrooms only. Don’t think we used it. It was nice to sit on lawn furniture in shade or sun when beach too windy. Lots of whales in March, we could watch from lanai or lawn. So that’s all the great stuff and worth every $ to me, but just a heads up to not expect luxury accommodations, if that’s your thing. No laundry in unit, and could have used an extra set of sheets and beach towels. No common bathroom by pool, which was tiny and always full of little ones. Complex definitely older, but clean and well maintained/bug free. Overall a great stay and I highly recommend!

We loved this unit. The balcony is on the shady side of the building until about 4pm then you have the most perfect sunny perch to watch the sunset. There are NO BBQS on this property so you must cook inside. Other than that, it’s an excellent property.

If you are looking for beachfront views with great beach access, this is the condo for you. The two bedroom condo was just right for our group of two couples. We watched humpback whales at any time of day all week from our lanai/balcony. The kitchen had just the right amenities for a weeklong stay. Check-in and checkout were a breeze. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area. Mahalo!
