We loved our week at Kauhale Makai! The unit itself was exactly as described and photographed in the VRBO listing. Several reviews mentioned a well-stocked kitchen - for those who like to know details, that included a drip coffee maker, a water filter, grilling tools for the community grills, tupperwares, ice trays in the freezer, dish soap, and some oil/vinegar/shoyu/spices leftover from past guests. There was also plenty of toilet paper and extra linens for bath and bed, and the TV is a smart TV that can connect to your apps.The furnishings are very classy and in excellent condition. That really made us feel at home while sitting around the living areas during our lazy holiday. The grounds at Kauhale Makai are beautiful with a large lawn leading to the beach, two pools and a hot tub. Over Christmas it was lively (in a fun, non-disruptive way) among the guests and owners! The beach was never crowded and the water was very clear and calm. We found the surrounding neighborhood challenging to walk in as there aren't pedestrian-friendly sidewalks in the surrounding blocks or along the route to the grocery store and shopping/restaurant areas. Hawai'i is very car-centric but given that the area is full of beachside condos I was a little surprised at the pedestrian inaccessibility.We would absolutely book Laurie's unit at Kauhale Makai again, and have already recommended it to friends! Mahalo nui loa for a lovely vacation!
This was a very quiet condo with a nice view in a relaxing part of Kihei. Was nice to be able to walk to the beach.
The unit was really nice, we didn't need anything as it was well stocked with shampoo, soap, etc. Gorgeous view.
The unit was hard to find as there are two 6 story buildings. I would suggest that information about which building (The Plumeria) be added to the VRBO information. The office was not easy to find either. It's actually located on the south side of the building but no signs to the office. We had more difficulty because we didn't arrive until 11:00 pm.
The unit is in a perfect location with a lot of great restaurants nearby. We would definitely recommend this particular VRBO.
Apartment is very cute and has everything you need for a complete Hawaiian vacation. Plenty of beach towels and accessories to use. Kitchen is fully stocked.
Pool and grills well maintained. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, and shops.
Condo was very nice, ac worked great! The view was great, nice pool, hot tub and kiddy pool! The property was well kept up, nice clean grills! Short walk to the beach. We spotted four turtles during out stay, one sleeping on the beach! :-)
It's also a great location in Kehei, close to everything!
We would definately stay there again!
Enjoyed the stay. Good location with well presented room
Great view of the West Maui Mountains and the pool and putting green. Close to shopping, food trucks and restaurants. Walkable beach 100+ yards away with tennis and pickleball courts right next door. Windy in the PM, but the BBQ grills work despite that and it's a good way to meet new people. Minor problem with the TV was handled right away. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
This beautiful condo was the perfect introduction to Maui. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning and walking down to the beach for sunset. Will definitely stay here again
Loved our stay! Free parking, beach chairs and best stocked kitchen supplies we have ever had in a condo. It is an older condo, so not perfect.
But great space for a couple! And room and dishes to entertain. Family came from their $$$$ hotel for the sunset. Would stay again.
