Weekend trip to visit friend and family. And site seeing was a beautiful weekend
Loved the accommodations and closeness to the beach.
Wasn't quite the view, but was a nice place. Would have rather had hardwood, didn't even think to look at that. There were a few issues. They gave us a cooler to use which was beyond broken. The bathtub was very noisy and felt like you were going to fall through the floor. We also did not get the six loads of detergent. There was maybe one. We had to buy our own.
The only positive thing I have to say about KA C19 is the location--close to beach, pool and barbeque. Pleasant garden view. Other than that, there is not much positive to report. The place was dated, dirty and had many broken parts. The patio furniture cushions were in shreds and had to be covered with a beach towel before using. Second bedroom blinds broken and did not cover window. Fan in same bedroom was so covered with dust that we could not use it as when turned on, dust flew about the room. Light switch in same bedroom did not work. Carpet in all rooms was very dirty. Furniture has termite infestation and everyday there was a new pile of termite droppings on the floor. Livingroom fan in very poor condition. Kitchen supplies skimpy (I made a trip to Walmart to purchase supplies missing). Every night cockroaches appeared in kitchen so before lights off for the night, every single thing was placed in refrigerator. No extra linens. In order to change sheets it was necessary to strip beds, wash and dry linens and then replace. Pillows were terrible so made a trip to Costco to purchase 4 new pillows. No icemaker available in small, low end refrigerator.
I stayed here with my family. I will start with the highlights and end with the lowlights. First off, the location is amazing, right across the street from one of the Kamaole Beach Parks in Kihei. You are a walk to restaurants and multiple beaches in this part of Maui. The area is very family friendly and the beaches are great! That said, there are some lowlights. The unit is older and furnishing are dated and some are falling apart. The blinds were broken the day we arrived, but thankfully fixed a few days in. The unit definitely had some bugs in the kitchen and the management company dropped off some spray and wished us good luck...fun times. The rental process is tedious as you are working with a management company that requires all sorts of verification outside the VRBO process. Basically, once you have rented on VRBO, you have to go through a verification process and sign another rental agreement with the management company. I thought this was excessive, but I don't travel to Hawaii often so maybe it is par for the course. Hope this is helpful to future travelers.

Nice amount of space for a family of four, easy walking distance to beaches and shops, overall good experience. Would have liked a few more beach items stocked in the unit like boogie boards or beach umbrella.
I love the privacy of each room, and the neatness of the kitchen and communal area! Overall great stay!
Good. Only steps from the beach and shopping. Only negatives were no air conditioning and starting to look a little worn.
Unit was not clean. Had to communicate more than once on issues. The lanai chaise lounge furniture is very dirty and the furniture pads need to be tossed out. The lanai patio door was dirty and the screens were dirty also. The cleaner did come out and have to clean them. There was a smell in the kitchen we couldn’t find.
The location is ideal. Across the road from Kamaole 2 beach, walking distance to shopping, and central to travel. We've stayed in West Maui before but didn't enjoy the amount of travel to explore other beaches and towns. If you like to explore, Kihei is ideal.
The unit has a garden view lanai with a beautiful view of Haleakala. We didn't miss air conditioning with the main door screen and the cross breeze from the lanai. The additional fans made the rooms comfortable in the high 28-29 degree (90s) heat. It accommodated a family of four nicely. We were greeted with plenty of information to get us settled amid a bowl of Hawaiian goodies. The unit was very clean. The bathrooms are in need of an update, but we were not in Maui for the unit bathrooms!
We would definitely recommend and plan to return, if possible, on our next trip.
Nice and clean, great location. Just had a problem with a flickering light in the master bathroom and slow drain in the second bathroom shower. I would of like to known ahead of booking that the owner was a real estate company.
Amazing, great location, overall nice.
Nice place to stay. Unit was clean and perfectly suited for my dad and I. We have been coming here for many years and will return!
Even better than expected! They provide everything you could need, as if you were at home. Beautiful property, great location, and very friendly staff! Check in and check out was so easy, keypads so you don’t have to worry about who has the key. The only thing is there is no a/c but they did provide plenty of fans and opening the door and lanai for a cross breeze helps a lot. Oh and please get regular pickle balls, the foam ones are junk.
Central location in Kehei and walking distances to nice beaches. Unit was clean, lack of AC was not an issue while we were there.
We were a part of a wider family group who were staying in other properties nearby. This was a perfect location and size for our family of 5. The property itself was clean and exactly as described. Thank you to the owner!

The property showed signs of typical wear and tear associated with its age, but was very clean. All essential amenities were thoughtfully supplied, including cooking utensils, condiments, bathroom toiletries, bath and beach towels, as well as laundry and dish detergent. The property is conveniently within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, cafes, and a general store, although you may need to drive approximately 5 minutes to reach the nearest grocery store. Only noticeable problem was no A/C unit, which was not a big deal. Overall, our stay was thoroughly enjoyable with no issues to report

Overall is ok. One thing, I have chose in filter at VBRO air conditioning at the unit and this unit in some case was selected, but when we arrived, there were only fans. My parents have health issues, so for them were hard to be without air conditioning. Also, I was surprised that bathrooms don't have a ventilation. After toilet it wasn't fresh air in the bedrooms. These are only two issues we have experienced. Others were really good!!!

The place was a bit worn. When we pulled out the couch to sleep on, it was dirty with stains on the mattress cover and crumbs all over it. No ice maker was also a drag. It is a short walk to the beach, and no beach in site from the balcony. Overall it was just ok. I would not book again.

Our stay in Kihei was amazing thanks to this place! The condo had everything we needed, including chairs and an umbrella for the beach. It was clean and well kept. The staff was super nice and accommodating. My favorite part was the location. It is right across the street from a beautiful beach. There are also restaurants and shop close by. The area didn't feel super crowded or touisty, but there was lots to do within walking distance.
It was our first to Maui so we weren't familiar with the area. But as it turned out, Kihea was a great choice as was this VRBO property. There are both residents and visitors in the complex and everyone properly observed the quiet hours.

We arrived late but the instructions given via email was very helpful. The place was spec and span, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and the living room are well organized, perfect for our short stay. It’s walking distance to the beach. It is quiet, the only sound you hear are the chirping birds. The office staff were likable. I highly recommend this place

Not well in the kitchen, lack of forks and spoons, coffee cups and ice maker. Poorly supplied. Caulking around sink and counters grubby. Carpets stained, washrooms outdated, grout grubby. Linens on beds poor, pillows poor. Beach chairs broken, we replaced one and added umbrella. Gererally shabby, needs a major update for the dollars we paid. Pleased that ice cube trays and bath mat was delivered promptly. We did not complain while we were there as we were on vacation and focused on having fun. But sadly all 3 of us were disappointed.

We had an amazing experience renting a condo from you. The location is perfect; just steps away from the beach. Close to a little mall/malls for shopping and a few very good restaurants within walking distance. Clean very quiet and perfect location. Very helpful landlords if you need anything. They were very responsive when I asked a question.. would absolutely stay here again. Highly Recommend

Our family (5 of us)thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kihei Akahi C-319. The rental is a bit out dated but clean. It had all the amenities described. The time inside is slight in comparison to the paradise right outside your door and the large glass door leading to the lanai invites that beauty inside anyway! It is centrally located and having a rental car took us to sights all around the island, the volcano, road to Hana, Lahaina, Costco, Walmart, 20 minutes-ish from airport, etc. We even did an excusion to Molokini, we saw many whales from land and boat as well as sea turtles! Maui did not dissapoint, and Kihei Akahi C-319 was comfortable enough to come back to each day!
