DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Kihei Akahi consists of 240 units including 8 ocean-front Townhouses. The 8 Townhouses facing the Ocean and in the exclusive 'A' Building, are the absolute best units in the entire Kihei Akahi development. Our unit has 2 walk out lanais (upstairs and main floor) for enhanced outdoor living and to enjoy the spectacular sunsets. At 224 sq. ft. of lanai space, 'A' building Townhouses have considerably more outdoor living space than any of the other 2-bedroom condos at Kihei Akahi which have only 92 sq. ft. of lanai living space.

To give you an idea of the Kihei Akahi complex: there are 240 units consisting of 8 2-bedroom Townhouses of 1,175 sq. ft., ten 2-bedroom apartments of 879 sq. ft. and two high-rise concrete buildings with elevators and semi-remote parking. The 2 concrete high-rises consist of 25 studios at 429 sq. ft., 172 1-bedroom units at 655 sq. ft. and 25 2-bedroom units at 932 sq. ft.

As stated, the 8 Townhouses each have 1,175 sq. ft. of indoor living space. The next largest living space is 932 sq. ft. in each of the 25 2-bedroom units in the concrete high rise building.

Of major importance to most visitors to Maui is the amount of effective outdoor living space available with their rental unit. As mentioned above, the Townhouses each have 2 lanais with a total area of 224 sq. ft. per Townhouse. Lanais at other 2-bedroom units at Kihei Akahi are only 92 sq. ft. In addition, the Townhouses have a large, well maintained, private, and secure, lawn and garden area strictly for 'A' building guests. The large lawn area is like your own private yard for activities from family gatherings to a romantic dinner for two. The size of your lanai is very important to most visitors since that is where you will relax, read, suntan, entertain, have cocktails and meals, watch great sunsets and generally enjoy Maui's wonderful climate all in a private area. You are not in a high-rise area facing another high-rise with all the noise and activities from other condos. The benefits of the eight 'A' Building Townhouses in the 'A' building are numerous.

Our Townhouse has central air conditioning (installed in February, 2016) which covers the entire indoor living space on both floors. There are separate air conditioner remotes for each of the 3 ultra-silent, very efficient units. When the Maui weather is hot and humid (during summer and early autumn), you can be assured of the most peaceful and comfortable existence possible.

Our Townhouse has brand new heavy duty Fleetwood Series 1000 sliding glass doors and solid Duo Pane noise cancelling Low E emulsion full height glass panels (to be installed in April, 2017). All door/glass hardware is stainless steel low profile surrounded by an all-aluminum perimeter frame. The configuration on both floors is identical with a full 6-foot unobstructed opening onto the lanai surrounded by a 3-foot wide, 82" high glass panel on each end. At the moment, we are not aware of any other unit at Kihei Akahi with an unobstructed 6-foot opening to the outside lanais.

Our Townhouse is fully stocked with dishes, cutlery, furniture, appliances, linens, towels and everything you need for your dream vacation in Paradise. In fact, our refrigerator (MRSP $3,850), is perhaps the largest fridge you have ever experienced. It has 2 side-opening doors with 2 full width separate freezer compartments below. The gas range has 5 burners on the cooktop, a warming oven and a large convection oven. The fridge, range, microwave and dishwasher were all purchased new in 2012.

Our Townhouse was totally renovated about 8 years ago during which time we installed solid maple (no MDF) Kraftmaid cabinets in the kitchen and both bathrooms. All cabinets and drawers were refinished in 2016.

The entire Townhouse, including all walls and the main floor ceiling, was repainted with new baseboards in 2015

Electronically, our Townhouse offers the following amenities:

Free High-Speed DSL Wireless Internet (with a backup system in A-101)

Free long-distance telephone service to the US and Canada

Three Smart TVs: 65" in living room, 30" in master bedroom, 30" in guest bedroom

Cable Service: HD, Computer, Netflix, etc. available on all 3 Smart TVs

Central wireless phone system with 3 handsets (includes messaging device)

Fax machine

THE BEACH - KAMAOLE 2

Kamaole Beach 2, immediately across the road with its fine white sand, has some of the best swimming and snorkeling anywhere. The large crescent shaped, gently sloping fine sand beach with its dunes and tide pool area teem with tropical fish, crabs, starfish, etc. Our Townhouse is located immediately across from Kamaole Beach 2, which, with its ultra-fine white sand and gentle waves/surf, is frequently described as one of the finest beaches on Maui. For your convenience we also include beach towels and folding beach chairs.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Kihei Akahi is one of the most popular and requested condominium complexes in Kihei. The grounds are immaculately maintained and the location cannot be beat. Everything you might need for your holiday is all within walking distance. Many visitors do not use a rental car, however, there is so much to do and see on Maui, we always recommend a rental car. Our Kihei beachfront Townhouse is only steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches and also only steps away from the Kihei Akahi private gated pool, BBQ area and tennis court.

Whether you are planning a romantic getaway for two, the perfect family vacation, or just need a holiday to unwind, our Townhouse is the perfect destination for you.

Start with the good. Location is excellent! Beach accessories were great. Condo has air conditioning & good beds. Check in was not good. We were given the wrong entry code, which didn’t come from the owner until 10:34 pm that night. Luckily we managed to contact the caretaker who gave us his entry code. He was the only one that replied to my multiple texts. Worse:The upstairs bathroom was leaking into the kitchen! First call I was argued with that we were getting the floor wet getting out of the shower. Stated this was a reoccurring problem. Reoccurring was obvious by previous visible damage on the ceiling. Next day was worse! Said a maintenance man was sent. No sign of him and nothing changed. We then realized it was the toilet leaking into the kitchen & a water sensor beeping. An entirely worse level! . Someone came and cut the ceiling out. Leaving an open hole. The fix if any was very temporary and worsened by the end of our week. We had to keep towels on the kitchen tiled floor so the baby didn’t slip and fall. One baby only crawling. A lot to deal with! No other units available. Half bath inside the condo was very dirty. Tiled steps were quite steep & dangerous. Need rubber treads put on. The living room furniture is many years past its prime. I would guess an early 90s pit group. Broken down, uncomfortable, not even connected together. This was almost worse than the leaking toilet stool. Repairs and upgrades could make this an excellent condo. Refund deserved!

Our vacation was amazing! The place was even better than we expected — super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The AC worked great, and the view from the patio was just beautiful. The beach is right across the street and honestly one of the best around. We already know where we’ll stay next time — we loved it!

All in all, it was a positive experience.Pros: Roomy, clean, coveniently located. Well equipped with household essentials. Nice backyard, landscaping a plus. Good to have parking right outside the door.Cons: Very dated and worn decor. Garbage disposal did not work. Upstairs front bedroom internet and TV never did connect but the back bedroom worked. Living room TV was a challenge everyday to get to local channels but it did connect. Street noise may be an issue for some, we kept slider closed for the AC.

Check was simple and easy. Kitchen was wonderful. Only reason it 4 stars instead 5 is that the living room furniture is uncomfortable and outdated. Also ants were everywhere. Plus all the exciting of a tsunami warning.

This property is at a Great Location. Right across the street from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. However, the owner Tyler would not respond to any of my messages prior to booking or after booking. Very frustrating. If not for the fact that we were with a large group staying at this resort I would of cancelled. There were bugs throughout the kitchen during our entire stay and even after spraying and wiping down the counters they never went away. I understand this owner owns 3 other units at this resort and I would NEVER rent from him again

The house was perfect for a family, with pool and tennis court. The beach on the other side of the street (with a pedestrian passage). Clean and comfortable. We were there for 9 days. Only little downside is when we tried to contact the owner as we only had supplies for a few days (dish washing pods, washing machine pods, toilet paper), we never got an answer. The office also tried to contact them for us. We used the same number they used to text us a few days earlier, the one noted in the house and at the office. The texts were read... When we finally left, the owner wrote me an e-mail saying I was probably confused with all the numbers. I sent him a screenshot of the texts, to which he never answered. Oh well. We had a great time anyways.

Everything about this property is great! Better than the listing shows. The location is so incredible. Plenty of space for everyone and the views from the lanais are amazing. Thanks for a great stay!

The place is great and in a nice location. For future visitors. Make sure to contact the local Rep who’s phone number is communicated in the beginning. Don’t use the booking platform as it might take some time to get feedback. Once communication was established everything was nice.

Our 9 day stay was great. Property is as described, beautiful views and a roomy interior. We used the kitchen daily as well as the beach chairs, sand toys and the rest. We would definitely recommend to all our family and friends as well as stay here again.

Wonderful space for a family, parents and two adult children. Location across from beach and parking at the door were perfect. We also used the tennis/pickleball court and pool. Hope to visit again - would definitely stay there again!
