About this apartment rental
Welcome to Paradise Found! Memories are made here!
Come, relax, unwind, and enjoy the unforgettable breathtaking, panoramic ocean views from EVERY room in our beautiful top floor direct oceanfront, beachfront Kealia Resort Condominium nestled RIGHT ON Sugar Beach, just steps from the ocean. This is NOT a side unit with a limited view! Magnificent expansive west facing view of the neighboring Hawaiian islands of Kahoolawe and Molokini Crater, a popular snorkling/diving spot, from the lanai of #603. Equally magnificent Haleakala crater view on front walkway. The Kealia Resort is a legal vacation rental condominium and IS NOT on the Minatoya List to be converted to long term housing.
Let the waves lull you to sleep every night. Feel the warm breezes and watch the swaying palms as you sip your favorite beverage or enjoy a bite to eat from your own private top floor lanai. In the winter watch the mother whales and calves frolicking and breaching. Let the sun's diamond reflections off the gentle Pacific waves mesmerize you as your body slides into total relaxation. Stroll along miles of sugar soft sand on Maui's longest walking beach. Mirrored walls envelop you with breath-taking ocean views. Kealia is the perfect quiet, private resort condominium for honeymooners, couples, seasoned travelers...anyone!

Our photos of the unit are updated in August 2017 after a remodel and show exactly what you will see when you arrive, with no surprises. We have a free state-of-the-art secured N+ wireless router for simultaneous video streaming/gaming on multiple devices like smart phones, computers or iPads, etc. The unit is fully stocked with EVERYTHING most people would want or need from all beach gear to spices, cooking utensiles and ALL paper and cleaning supplies, including those for the washer, dishwasher and bath/shower. We haven't forgotten anything! Both the living room and bedroom TV are hooked up to Spectrum cable and the bedroom TV has a digital over the air antenna if the cable goes down.

Eating meals on the balcony while watching/listening to the waves crash on the shoreline everyday is my happy place! The condo is nicely decorated, the bed & linens comfortable and the owners - delightful! So happy i got to experience Maui in Kihei at Paradise Found

We loved every minute of our stay. The condo was very nice and well equipped. The location was close to many of our activities and the view was amazing. We would definitely recommend this location to our friends and family. Thanks so much!

Frank and Sandy, thank you for another great stay at “Paradise Found”. We love your condo. You provide everything anyone could need to enjoy the best beach in Kihei and excursions. Your place is ultra clean and the view is amazing. We will be back.

This condo was everything that was promised in the VRBO description, but what really set it apart from the average rental were the owners Frank and Susan. The personal touch from the welcome basket with all kinds of goodies to the champagne with ice provided.
Frank's quick response to any issues or questions was very helpful.
The bed is superbly comfortable.
The view was spectacular. I mean you are truly so close to the ocean and sparkling clean beautiful beach you feel you could almost reach out and touch it.
If I could give more than five stars I would.
Thank you Frank and Sandy.

This is our first time on Maui. My mother recommended this specific location in Kihei. She loves the old-school vibe of this part of the island. My husband and I would prefer a more current vibe.
The unit is very nice inside.
Our hosts thought of everything that one may need. Very comfortable furniture, including the king-size bed. The view and sound of ocean out our windows is breathtaking.
We are right on the beach. We face west, so the sunset is visible nightly.
It’s a 30 minute beach walk/10 minute drive to businesses. We thought we wouldn’t need a car, even though there is a parking place on site. Wish we had rented one. Luckily, we had many friends also visiting who could ferry us around in their cars when we needed it. Also, we used Uber quire a bit.
This was a learning experience. Our hosts went out of their way to make it the best it could be. Even bringing us more coffee pods on request.

This top floor suite makes a great base for a Maui vacation. A long, flat walkable beach, well kept pool, BBQ area and waterfront make the experience beyond the room a most pleasant one while the well kept, very well appointed condo with welcoming hosts made our week long vacation on the island relaxing, and easy.

Paradise Found was the absolute perfect place for our quiet Christmas getaway. The condo is small but feels spacious with the way it is set up. The decor is clean but comfortable and homey. It had everything we needed to cook meals with a few extra special touches from our hosts.
The view from the lanai is incredible - we had our morning coffee, ate several meals, and played games looking out at gorgeous sugar beach and the Pacific Ocean.
We will definitely stay again!

This was our second stay in this unit and third at the property. The unit is well-appointed with quite possibly the most attentive owners, oh and it has a fabulous view of the ocean. The property as a whole is wonderful. It's almost like you have your own private beach. We'll be back in 2024!

Aloha!
My husband and I just spent 5 awesome nights at “Paradise Found”.
Sandy and Frank do an exceptional job at hosting. They supply every little thing one needs.
Just add delicious meals and drinks.
We were sad to leave but already thinking about our return trip.
Book your lodging with Sandy and Frank. I didn’t even mention the over the top gift basket. Mahalo.

We really enjoyed our stay this condo. This was the best stocked condo we've ever stayed at. It had everything we needed. The free parking was great. It was just steps to the beach and a beautiful pool. Evertime I texted the owners they always responded back in a very timely manner. Can't say enough good things.

Amazing and relaxing experience. Fell in love with Hawaii after staying here. The place was perfect and the hosts were so helpful. Will hope to stay here again.

The owner went out of their way to make our stay outstanding. There were more amenities then listed on-line. Each nicer than the other. Without question it was the best equipped kitchen we've ever rented. It was setup perfectly for two people. Be aware that the rolling waves and feral chickens add to the ambiance of the location.

This condo is truly paradise found! My husband and I stayed here for 9 nights and cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay on the island for our first trip to Maui! We were in awe with how close the condo is to the beach and the view from the lanai is absolutely breathtaking! A highlight of our stay was falling asleep listening to the sounds of the ocean waves every night!
The condo looks exactly as shown, as described. The condo was very clean and very well organized; it is so cozy and very relaxing! The condo is very close to the airport and so easy/convenient to get to Wailea-Makena, Paia, the road to Hana and road to Haleakala.
Frank and Sandy are amazing hosts and excellent communicators who have gone above and beyond to make their condo feel like a home to their guests and are extremely welcoming! From the personalized welcome message on the dry board, the Safeway grocery store member card to use, the welcome basket full of local goodies including a bottle of champagne and bag of ice in freezer, to the handwritten welcoming notes, they truly care for their guests and want to make your stay perfect! They have everything and more you will need for your stay to cook if you choose (we loved using the Vitamix every AM for smoothies), doing laundry, and hanging at the beach (we used the boogie boards). Sugar beach was quiet and perfect for walking the beach and for swimming.
Mahalo Nui Loa Frank and Sandy! We'll definitely stay when we return! Much love, K&G from MN

We had everything we needed and more for our week long vacation/ 10 year anniversary trip. The condo is very well stocked with everything we needed and then some. We have an almost private beach & pool every day during our visit. Our hosts we very quick to answer any questions that we had & even suggested a wonderful restaurant while there. We were there during the tragic fires on Maui & our hosts were very flexible with our ever changing departure date & times. We really appreciated that during such a very unsure time. We would love to return this wonderful location on another trip back to Maui

This Kihei property is just perfect! Sandy and Frank have gone above and beyond to provide their guest with all the amenities you might need for a beach vacation! (Beach Chairs, coolers, boogie boards, and much more) Their condo has direct access to a beautiful and quiet beach. The waves are very gentle. Just right for a relaxing day! Sandy and Frank also make themselves available if you have any issues or questions. We will definitely be returning to this property again in the near future!

Perfect location on a long stretch of beach to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Condo was neat, clean, nicely decorated, well equipped kitchen, beach supplies, etc for our stay. Lovely balcony to sip coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the view. Owners were the best hosts-special touch was a celebration basket of treats and champagne. Perfect, quiet location to walk the beach, get coffee, farmer’s market, explore the island, eat out or bbq at the condo. Thank you Sandy and Frank for making our vacation special! Hope to visit again in the future!

We had a lovely time. The condo was cute and cozy. It had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. The bed was very comfortable. My only complaints are that it was a little warm at night even with the air on, and also too many night lights all over the condo. If you like it dark, bring a sleep mask😊

Sandy and Frank have created an oasis of comfort and serenity in Kihei. Every detail was attended to with many extra touches one would not expect. We loved our stay here and the location can’t be beat. It is near everywhere you would want to go. We hope to return!

We couldn’t have found a better location! We island hopped on 3 day trips but returned each night. This location was perfect for all we wanted to do in Maui! The condo views were awesome. From the lawn we could whale watch and enjoyed beautiful sunsets. (Certainly didn’t matter to us but there are no lights on balcony). If we return to Maui this will be our first choice of homes away from home.

This is the perfect property for us, close to everything especially the beach and furnished with everything we need to feel like home. Really enjoyed our relaxing stay.

Great location on the Island if you plan to tour around. I think we were on every road this trip. Beautiful view, nice quiet beach and plenty of it to walk on. Sad we didn't get to see any whales. Plan to try and stay here next time we get to visit Maui

This unit is outstanding in every way! It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stay on Maui, from kitchen items (coffee and spices!) to a day at the beach with chairs, umbrella, cooler and boogie boards! The owners were extremely accommodating from the very beginning of reserving the condo to letting us stay late on departure day as they had no one coming in that day. They are very quick to respond to questions. The location is perfect as base for exploring the entire island and right on the beach. We highly recommend this unit and these hosts! Thank you for a great stay!

The owners were excellent hosts and the property was everything we were looking for in a Hawaiian vacation. Location was close to everything and a fine swimming beach was just steps away. What more could you ask for?

The condo is named Paradise Found and we named our trip the same. They have provided everything you will need including beach chairs boogie boards noodles. You will be staying somewhere special and it’s conveniently located with underground parking. If you don’t like sand, the grass area between the pool and ocean will be your happy place. BBQ area with picnic tables are there. All the comfort’s of home and if there is something you need, the owners are super cool and will accommodate you. We will stay here again.

Loved it!
We had an incredible experience in Maui, and Paradise Found was a big part of it. Between the basket of goodies, champagne, heartfelt note, and dry erase board message, we felt welcome the second we entered the cozy condo. We appreciated the items for our use including the coffee, laundry products, body wash, beach towels, etc. The adjustable bed was an added bonus. The instructions were abundant and clear. We absolutely would return to this perfectly located property if we visit Maui again.
10.0 / 10.0
The perfect condo on Maui!
Frank and Sandy’s apartment is wonderful. Great location, incredible view, and sleep to the sound of the waves. The beach, steps away, is never busy. It’s a quick ride to Kihei and restaurants and food trucks, and its central location is great for day trips. The apartment has everything you might need. We’d stay here again without a second thought.
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing
The property and location were perfect. The beach was easily accessible and beautiful. The property owners were very easy to contact and extremely friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic place on the beach!
This condo exceeded all of our expectations! It was perfect for the two of us. We fell asleep and woke to the soothing sounds of the surf everyday. It's outfitted with everything needed for the beach--chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards--and a comfortable place to come back to after a day of wandering or hanging out on one of Maui's beaches. It's just a short walk down the beach to the Sugar Beach Bakery and Ululani's Hawai'ian Shave Ice--two not to be missed spots in Kihei. It's also nicely away from the tourist hubbub of central Kihei (and a refreshing break from Lahina and Kaanapali), but a short drive to get to the complex of restaurants at Kalama Village. We'd definitely stay here again!
