Stayed here for a week!! Loved the view from the Lanai. Only drawback was the Unit did not have AC in the bedroom, they had a window AC in the living room. So took couple days for the entire house to cool down. Otherwise a great house with beach access, beach toys, chairs etc. Designated parking lot was a plus.

Awesome location. In the northen most Kihei resort, right on the beach, no road in between the condo and the beach. Great snorkeling right from your condo. Easy access to the highways, very centrally located. You can go North to Kapalua Bay and Honolua Bay, you can go South to Makena landing and Maalaea, you can easily go to Kahalui and Paia too. Very nice area, Ululanis and ABC stores are walking distance from the condo too!

This place is amazing! Great location, wonderful kind staff and fellow guests. The condo rooms are spacious and clean, the kitchen is really nice. The ceiling fans are all you need with open windows for a perfect temperature day and night.

Many units are owned by individuals so your experience may vary. We rented 508 and it was marvelous. Super clean, freshly remodeled and a kitchen that had everything. Very central to all areas of Maui. Met a few residents and they were an added bonus of friendliness. Underground secure private parking. ELEVATOR!! Carts for luggage and groceries. 100% recommend.

Doesn't look like much at first, but the unit was fantastic, great view, and the beach is only a few steps away. They key-less entry is very convenient. The amenities in this unit were well above expectations… there were even boogie boards and snorkel gear! Would stay again.

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows in 2009 on this beach. It was private, quiet, romantic and very beautiful. We dream of definately going back to Maui's Kealia Resort. The owner's were always available and made our reservation and stay smooth and relaxing. The pool was really nice and the landscaping was beautiful. Our condo was really clean and pretty. We both loved it here.
