Property Description
Aloha and welcome to the Hale Kai Uli!
What exactly is the Hale Kai Uli? In the Hawaiian language hale means house, kai is the ocean and uli means blue. The House of the Deep Blue Sea.
The Hale Kai Uli is adjacent to a quiet stretch of sandy beach in sunny Kihei, Maui… just 500 feet from lanai to toes-in-the-ocean! Our 2 bedroom/1 bath condo can sleep 4 guests. We renovated and brought in all new furniture in Oct 2016. In Nov 2021 we upgraded the windows and installed a split AC unit so there is now individually controlled AC units in the living room and each bedroom.
Bedroom 1 offers a plush queen-sized gel-infused memory foam mattress and luxuriously soft sheets. Windows facing both east & west provide great cross-ventilation and a large wall-mounted oscillating fan will keep you cool as you sleep. There is extra counterspace with a large mirror for dressing and easy-to-access outlets including USB ports to charge your phones.
Bedroom 2 offers 2 twin-sized memory foam beds, a large dresser and closet space. A 32” SMART TV is set up with a BlueRay DVD player. Cable is not available on this TV but it is connected to the wi-fi so you can use your preferred streaming accounts. Cable is available on the living room TV which is also set up for you to access your streaming accounts.
In the bathroom you’ll find plenty of storage space and hooks for wet towels or toiletry bags. A hotel-style towel rack installed in the shower is the perfect place to drip dry wet swim suits. A hairdryer is provided.
Our kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless appliances and all the cookware, gadgets and serving dishes you would need to make a quick breakfast or a full dinner. You can also take advantage of two gas grills and full outdoor kitchen at the pavilion area near the pool.
You’ll find a dining table inside for those rare rainy nights but Hawaii living is all about being outdoors so we’ve provided a patio set large enough to accommodate 4 adults for a full dinner. A retractable shade will keep the lanai cool in the afternoon. And once the sun fades beyond the horizon, flip on the twinkle lights, pour a glass of wine, sink into the comfortable chairs and relax well into the night.
Tile flooring throughout helps keep the unit cool and the east & west facing windows allow you to take advantage of the breezes when the trade winds are blowing. There are multiple fans throughout the unit to keep you cool but when the heat or humidity kicks up you'll rest comfortably with our new split AC units.
Kihei Garden Estates is a lush property. Enjoy swaying palms, fragrant plumeria and exotic tropical flowers throughout. A huge mango tree provides fresh fruit in season. From your lanai, you can watch geckos and iguanas and listen to the song of the Hawaiian Mynah Birds. While you're savoring your first cup of coffee you may catch a glimpse of the stealthy mongoose as he makes his early morning rounds. A combination of permanent residents and vacation rentals creates a quiet, relaxing atmosphere you won’t find at larger resort complexes. You’ll always find an open chaise at the pool and a spot in the hot tub. There is a shared laundry room for each building ($2.50 to wash/dry) and we have provided a laundry bag for guest use.
We’ve supplied 4 Tommy Bahama “backpack” beach chairs with cooler pouches, a soft-sided Coleman cooler, 2 boogie boards, pool noodles, a beach ball and an assortment of pails, shovels and molds so your family can build an epic sand castle.
And finally, for all the techies that stay with us…you’ll appreciate our unlimited high-speed wifi and the numerous USB charging ports throughout the condo.

We had a wonderful time staying at this condo in Kihei. It is within walking distance of everything you need: beach, grocery, restaurants, and Tamura's for the best poke. The condo had all the amenities and more, which was great for our family of four. There was a huge mango tree right next to this condo and the caretaker was there and gave us mangos that had fallen off the tree. It was delicious! It was great to have all their beach gear organized and ready for a day of fun. Staci was a wonderful and flexible host. She was very communicative and when we needed to extend our checkout due to a late travel day, she rearranged cleaning to help us out. We were so grateful and cannot thank them enough. We would definitely stay here again!

The stay was exactly as advertised. The condo was very clean, had comfortable beds, the outdoor area was cozy for lots of late night card games, there were thoughtful extras such as beach chairs and towels, and close to the beach! We enjoyed our stay!

Exactly what we needed.This was a perfect home base for exploring such a wonderful island. The kitchen and closet were stocked with everything we needed, which saved us money on renting gear and eating out. It felt more like a home than a resort-style place. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot near a beautiful, uncrowded beach, this is the place to stay.

My friend and I went to Kihei for a medical trip. It was a nice quiet area for me to rehab and Karen enjoyed the short walk to the beach. We also enjoyed dining at the food trucks.

The size of the unit is perfect for a family of 4. It’s a clean, fun property with all the amenities of home. The pool, grill, and common areas are perfect for lounging, prepping food, and enjoying the water just a little bit more! Highly recommend!!!

Very comfortable. People upstairs were noisy with kids running around late at night.

Beautifully updated unit, super comfy beds and lanai furniture with best location in the complex. Well outfitted. Great tv and internet services. We’ve been staying at units in Kihei Garden Estates since 1995 and this is our favourite.

Great place to stay. Ground floor, everything you could ever need with a family vacation. Loved the beach across the street - nicknamed it turtle beach for how many we saw!

Close to the beach, store, shops, etc. Very clean and quiet place to stay. Perfect for our family of four. Chairs for the beach and toys for the kids to play with. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Outside lanai is great for relaxing while enjoying the landscape. Mahalo!

Overall great stay. Its in a grear location in Kihei with walking distance to shops, food trucks, grocery store and restaurants. The beach is 5 mins away. The pictures listed of the condo are outdated and do not reflect the current layout or furniture. The couch is very used and dirty. The closet full of supplies was very usefull. Had lots of beach supplies and laundry needs.
