About this property
Summary:
Rise with ocean views, linger over coffee on the balcony, and make the most of Maui's sunny South Shore from this one-bedroom Kauhale Makai penthouse. Sleeping two, it is made for a couple who wants beach access at the complex plus a pool, hot tub, sauna, shuffleboard, volleyball court, and putting green nearby. Spend a morning on the sand, drive toward Kamaole Beach Parks or Makena, and come back for a slow evening with the water in view. The open living, dining, and kitchen area keeps the stay connected, with granite counters and stainless appliances for a dinner at home when you want one. Central air conditioning and a smart TV take care of downtime after the sun goes down. It is an easy, memorable base for two travelers who want Kihei's beach rhythm with a little more room to take in the horizon.
The Space:
Floor-to-ceiling ocean views carry through this one-bedroom, one-bath penthouse for two. The open living, dining, and kitchen area is designed for easy time together, with granite countertops, a center island, and stainless appliances for meals at home. The balcony invites a slower morning or sunset drink, while central air conditioning, warm wood finishes, and quality linens make the space feel settled.
Guest Access:
This Kauhale Makai penthouse comes with access to the building's shared pool, hot tub, and elevator, plus direct beach access right on site. A private entrance and lit walkway make coming and going easy, and the grounds offer outdoor seating with garden views.
The Neighborhood:
Kihei's sunny South Shore makes beach days feel simple. Walk the shoreline by Waipuilani Park, pick up coffee or dinner along South Kihei Road, and spend a calm morning at the Kamaole Beach Parks. The area's warm water, long sandy stretches, and west-facing sunsets give families an easy daily rhythm: beach, pool, rinse off, then dinner nearby. It is a practical Maui base for travelers who want the sand close and plenty of choices without resort formality.
Getting Around:
Kahului Airport is about 20 to 30 minutes away, an easy drive down Maui's sunny south shore. A rental car is recommended to make the most of Kihei's many beaches, shops, and restaurants spread along the coast. Some stretches near South Kihei Road are walkable to dining and shopping, while beaches are often just minutes away. Parking is typically available on site, in lots, or along nearby streets.

Comfortable condo with pool and ocean view.
Clean, well-equipped and accessible! Nice view of the ocean from the balcony. Quick response with fixing the AC during our stay. Overall, will recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Kihei!
We had such an amazing stay! The condo was cozy and clean, with a super comfortable bed and a spacious lanai that made for the perfect morning coffee spot. The pool area was lovely and never felt too crowded. We especially loved how close we were to the beach—it felt like our own little private escape, while still being near town (without being in town, which we preferred!). We honestly didn’t want to leave and even looked into extending our stay another week. Would definitely stay here again!
My wife and I were looking for a nice little get away from the cold of southwest Pa. We found this place and chose it because it had so many good reviews and was at a reasonable price. First off, it is only about a 15-20 minute drive from the airport. The complex was easy to find and was in a nice, safe neighborhood. Our unit was just as expected, clean and quiet and a nice little welcome bag was on the counter with some coffee and local snacks in it. The AC was turned off, but after only about 20-30 minutes it got the condo to a comfortable temp. The updated kitchen was stocked with all of the utensils, plates, cups and other things that you'll need during your stay if you want to make your own meals, which we did a few times. There are extra towels in the closet and hotel like shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower.The pool area are hot tub were well kept and clean. Unfortunately, a tropical storm had hit the area the day before we arrived and caused some damage to the grounds, so I can't really speak on that. But we were still able to walk down to the beach area and enjoy some time listening to the waves and just relaxing in the sun. And the sunsets were amazing! The beach was very quiet, very few people.It is very close to many restaurants and shops. Plenty of great food to choose from. It's only about a 30 minute drive to Lahaina and about 15 minutes to Wailea. We will definitely be staying again in the near future!
We loved the quiet non-tourist feel of this condo, surrounding area, the complex and amenities.
Overall, it’s a beautiful location, but the amenities within the home were lacking. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Very soft and broke down. The couch needs to be replaced as the cushions fall through with no support. There were no barbecue tools and the beach chairs that were noted in the ad were of low standards and not conducive to sitting in them. You fell down into the sand. One set of towels for the beach was not ideal as we would’ve had to do laundry every day due to the sand and beach use. Enjoyed the welcome package. It would’ve been nice to have a dining table on the lanai for outside eating and cushions on the furniture for more comfort.
The room was more than expected. Good location on the beach.
convenient
We really appreciated the neighbours, helpful, fun, family friendly. Building is quiet, well-situated, good water (temp pressure), quiet quick elevators.
