Everything was great :) We loved the location and would definitely stay there again!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kealia resort. Location is right on the beach, and just minutes away from Kihei. Tim was a great host, very responsive.

The property ad is misleading and we thought we were getting a room facing the ocean. Instead it was facing a very busy road. From the porch you can still see the ocean which is very nice, but it isn’t what we were expecting at all, which was disappointing.
The room was clean, although quite hot so the window AC unit had to run all the time, which was quite loud. If the AC unit wasn’t running, you could hear the road.
The property is nice and backs right onto the beach which is great for swimming and late night walks. Overall good place, but not in line with expectations

Couldn’t check in at the time given on the reservation. The road is super loud at night if the door is open

Upon arrival was not aware that the condo did not have a bedroom , that the Murphy bed was in the living room, and needs a better mattress.
But the location was ideal and great beachfront stay , loved are morning walks!!! View was amazing!!
We would return definitely.
Thank you

This stay was the perfect location in Kihei — right in the center on Maui and just a short drive from both sides of the island, while also providing a quiet and secluded location for my partner and I. It is the perfect size for 2 people and being only steps away from the beach makes it even better. Tim made checking in and getting settled in to our stay very easy and simple, as well as being extremely helpful and responsive — would recommend to anyone wanting a nice quiet getaway to the beautiful island!

It had changed owners after I booked this condo and Tim was great and responsive to work with. He made the change over completely seamless! I was able to communicate with Tim prior to our arrival and he responded quickly! We enjoyed the condo location, could not be beat! It does sit backing a main road, which becomes very loud throughout the condo at all hours. When the traffic was light we enjoyed listening to the waves crash. We also stayed during some wind and the sliding glass door whistled, we would just crack the slider and it would stop. We enjoyed the pool, morning walks on sugar beach, the ocean, and breakfast and sunsets on the lanai. The condo was stocked with chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and snorkel gear which was helpful! The property has lounge chairs that you can enjoy on the grass, ocean front. Several days, we enjoyed the pool and beach/grass privately, which we were pleasantly surprised with since it was spring break for some. It had a private parking spot which was convenient, so we didn’t have to fight or look for parking daily. We noticed when we would turn off the ac, there would be an influx of tiny black bugs that would be dead inside in front of the slider and ac unit and outside the slider. We would sweep them out every morning. We are from the mountains, so we didn’t have a problem cleaning these up, we know we were in a tropical place. Overall, the location was great and the property had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our trip in Maui!!!

This place was the perfect place to stay for our first trip to Maui! The location was perfect with being right on the beach and being in a central area on the island! The property did change ownership before we arrived and Tim was very accommodating and even helped with tips on food recommendations! I would absolutely recommend this place again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. We had plenty of room to maneuver even with the Murphy bed in the down position. The unit was generous stocked with essential supplies and had a good supply of hangers and drawers. Views of the beach and mountains was amazing. Great location for access to everything . Host was very responsive. We will definitely be back again for a longer stay!

This condo is cute & clean. The property is showing its age but it’s in a great location. The road noise from the unit is a bit loud & the mattress could use an upgrade, but it’s a good value & we enjoyed our stay.

The property had just changed owners before our trip and Tim helped tremendously to make sure the transition was smooth. He was available and easily contacted for any issues.
The unit is in a very centralized location for sightseeing! I do recommend renting a jeep and touring on your own! So many beautiful sights to see and memories to make!
Relaxing our minds and souls is what it was all about! It was ACCOMPLISHED!❤️

This was a perfect condo for our Maui vacation. Great central location made it easy to get virtually anywhere on the island with our rental car. Host was very responsive and helpful; loved having access to beach gear!

We had a great stay at this studio located right on the beach. The location is very convenient and is located near many touristy areas. With the fold down bead it was a tight fit with little extra space, but still totally doable with two people. There is a nice dresser to put you cloths in. It’s stocked with all the essentials, including bench chairs, umbrella, beach towels, boogie board, and small cooler. I did find the amount of cleaning we were asked to do before leaving strange with there already being an expensive cleaning fee for a small place. Overall a great trip.

The area was quiet. There was lots of beach to walk and wasn’t crowded. Conveniently located near more touristy locations for day trip. The condo was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable, including snorkeling gear, boogie boards and cooler. Lydia was a great host. She was very responsive to any questions we had.

We enjoyed the condo for our trip trip to Maui! It was great to be so close to the beach and a short drive from downtown Kihei. The condo was very clean and many amenities were thoughtfully provided to us. We loved using the boogy boards on the beach! I would recommend this condo to anyone else, especially for the value. Thank you!

My girlfriend and I had a great stay in Maui! The condo is very close to pretty much everything on the west side of Maui, and very easy to get to from the airport too. Lydia has everything you need for your stay readily available, and it was a great home base for us to tackle many day trips. Highly recommend!

Everything with Lydia was smooth since day one. The place was perfect for our not too short stay. We loved the location right on the beach, close to restaurants, you can only hear the sea. The place was clean, very well equipped, cozy. Perfect for two people!

My wife and I had a great time staying at this property. Our host was very kind and very accommodating. We couldn’t appreciate her any more. The location itself is last in line in a string of condos so the beach basically felt private. We’ve read two reviews complaining about traffic noise but didn’t notice that in the slightest. All we heard was the ocean and the breeze. It’s well worth the stay and we would do it again tomorrow, if we were able to.

The location was hard to beat. Central on island and on a beach. Great amenities to include a grill that we used each night.
8.0 / 10.0
Lydia’s place was great and had everthing we needed in a place to crash every night after busy days exploring the island! It also has an outdoor shower to rinse all the sand off (inevitable on an island) and it’s own parking spot which was really great. Most of the unit was quite clean, though I did notice the shower could use a bit more of a deep clean. Lydia was very responsive which was helpful! The downside would definitely be the road noise and the wind noise, it was SO windy it was squealing through the windows and shaking the door to the stairs which is next to the condo (we did our best to close it but it doesn’t close all the way). I would have liked to enjoy the patio but it was much too loud and windy. Overall a pleasant stay.

The unit accommodations are great and very well stocked (best prepared VRBO I've stayed at). The road noise and AC noise were very loud. And, I was sad to see there was no real view of the ocean/sunset from the lanai. However, a short journey to the pool /grass/ and beach area easily provided the view and experience we wanted.
Great value!

Clean, comfortable studio with everything you might need for your Maui vacation, including washer/dryer & full kitchen. Steps from Sugar Beach. Beautiful grounds. Owner was very easy to communicate with.
Lots of road noise but it can be countered with use of white or brown noise or other calming sounds.

My girlfriend and I loved this spot. It was cozy and in a great location. We would highly recommend for a couple!

My husband and I absolutely loved this condo!! The location is central Maui and so convenient for any activities you may want. Lydia was great with communication. Other reviews complained of road noise but we didn’t hear that at all. It truly had everything we needed from beach gear to a full kitchen. The washer and dryer were nice to have also :) Great value for an awesome condo!

My wife and I enjoyed the quiet and peacefullness being at the last place on the beach. The Sugar beach was soft(like grains of sugar) and relaxing. All the tenants we interacted with were great and it was a short drive to groceries, shopping and restaraunts.
Everything we needed to get settled in was already there and we enjoyed the view from our balcony while eating breakfast.
We had no complaints and would stay again.

Awesome place to stay. Location was fantastic and the home was just right for my wife and I. Would recommend to anyone coming to stay on Maui.

We stayed at this location for 5 days - perfect amenities. We had so much to do on the island that we really didn’t get a chance to stay at the pool or the beach in front of the condo for any length of time. The condo is on a busy road so be prepared for the traffic noise. We ran the air conditioner at night so no problem to sleep. Great location if you are exploring all of the island.

This property and Lydia both get an A+.. Parking free and easy in-front of unit.. Unit is small but has everything you need and is beachfront! (we loved the huge grassy area that was private for the renters) The walks on the beach are incredible, its a quiet beach but a quick drive to main strip in Keihi .. Washer/Dryer and price are great benefits, I think she needs a new beach umbrella and new AC unit as its rusted out and just barely can keep up but overall amazing!

Condo was just perfect and location was right in the middle of each island location we wanted to visit. Beach out front was great for down time, or ling walks in the morning. Had all necessary items including beach towels, chairs, and snorkel gear. Fun stay and can't wait to come back!

This property was great for our needs/wants. It sits right on the beach, has a beautiful lawn, had an assigned parking spot for our rental car, a pool, and an outdoor barbecue area for guests. All staff was friendly and accommodating.
Our unit was beautiful and well stocked with all the extras. Mahalo!!!

This property was as advertised- a studio with a well stocked kitchen, that suited us just fine for the week. It is close to plenty of dining options and other activities. I also comes with a dedicated parking spot which was a plus. Others have noted the traffic and it is a busy road but we were out all day and generally when we were in the apartment we had the a/c on and didn’t notice the traffic (which drops off considerably at night). Lydia was attentive and responded quickly to questions. The building has easy access to the beach, snorkel equipment, and other beach supplies. I would definitely recommend for a single or couple.
