Christmas is around the corner, and here's a great way to rest-up and rev-up for the season! It's a tropical getaway where you feel at home, is steps away from one of the greatest beaches anywhere, and won't bust your budget!
Here it is!
Our one-bedroom condo on the beautiful grounds of Kihei Akahi is the ideal home-away-from-home. Make it your base for exploring the beautiful Valley Isle: from the 'Iao Valley to the Up-Country ranchland; from prime surfing spots at Pa'ia to the spectacular Hana Highway to the mystical Haleakala -- the dormant volcano rising up literally from Kihei's back yard.
And you're steps away from one of the greatest and most family-friendly beaches anywhere -- Kama'ole 2. You could have a turtle swim just a few feet away from you, or see a whale, frolicking in the waves, like this baby humpback: https://youtu.be/tsv88hblwFU.
And with the Kama'ole reefs and Molokini, you're in a snorkeller's paradise! Spend time with the turtles, hover over colorful, exotic fish, and maybe even track an octopus! (Just stay away from the reefs and the sea urchins!)
Check out some of the many diverse eateries on Maui, from creative food trucks, to fast-food chains, right up to the elegant Cafe O'Lei and the uber-pricey (but SO worth it!) experience that is Mama's Fish House.
DO YOU WORK BY REMOTE AND NEED TO "KEEP UP", BUT WITH A CHANGE OF SCENERY? We provide high-speed internet. and the dining table is perfect for your laptop, notes and whatever else you need.
All of this is priced where a family can afford it -- currently, more than 40% below that of the average hotel room (according to figures from the Hawai'i Tourism Authority).
Check out our video -- https://youtu.be/mbjVF5fAPBU.
Our fully furnished, one-bedroom (sleeps 4) condo is furnished in a tropical theme, with works by local Maui artists. You'll find a king-size bed in the bedroom, queen-size sofa-bed in the living room, deluxe kitchen and 1 bathroom, with BBQ, two pools and tennis (and pickleball!) courts on the grounds.
Now, a reality check: Maui is still recovering from the devastating fires that practically wiped out Old Town Lahaina. Much of the economy of the Valley Isle is based on tourism, so by coming to Maui, you're helping in that recovery.
Convinced yet? Check out our reviews (and please note: we don't *ask* for 5-star ratings!).
Whatever your Hawai'ian adventure, our place can be your place to come home to.
* Newly renovated
* Tastefully furnished with island living in mind
* King size bed in bedroom
* Queen size hide-a-bed sofa in living room
* Free wi-fi
* Towels and chairs for the beach
* Washer and dryer in the unit
* Easy access to all parts of the island
* Two pools and tennis courts
* BBQs
NOTE: for full disclosure, there are cameras at the two pools; however, these are to ensure people are abiding by the house rules and the video is not recorded.
But it's also VERY popular! People -- many of whom are returning guests -- book our place months -- sometimes over a year -- in advance. So choice dates won't last long!

Communication with host was impeccable; very responsible and easy to work with. He was also flexible to allow us to extend our stay.
The condo is located at an amazing place, everything is there (kitchen, nice pool, parking, wifi, very close to beach, dishwasher and even washing machine, sun chairs and umbrella, nice beach towels, etc.).
I wouldn't have let an adult sleep in the sofa bed; you can feel the springs, but for a kid, it was fine.
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Highly recommend.
4.8
Everything we needed was supplied. All we had to do was enjoy the local foods, drinks, scenery and hospitality. The on-site staff was excellent as were Drew's notes, memos and spot on suggestions. Mahalo, Drew. God bless.
4.8
Amelia and Drew's condo is as exactly as described and is a well stocked condo; really a home away from home. You couldn't ask for a better location with the complex right across the street from Kamaole II beach.
Added bonus was the host provided detailed information about the condo, and even recommended places to visit, eat and shop. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
4.8
The location of the unit was wonderful and it was very comfortable. It had all the things one needed for cooking and beach supplies. The air condition was a relief during those hot days. The blind for the lanai was a great idea during the heat of the day. My only recommendation is new cushions for the two lower chairs on the lanai.

Great location right across the street from one of Maui’s best beaches! Our stay was very comfortable and would definitely stay again!

This Condo was just what we needed. I love the location and the grounds. This property was exactly as described.The complex is quiet, safe, peaceful and family friendly. The two pools and pickleball court were a great bonus on the complex. The Grills and pools were cleaned daily. The Beach Wagon came in handy to haul all of our beach needs to the beach.
Being on the first level was also another great bonus. Easy Parking with nearby garbage and recycling.
We pray that this unit will be available for our next stay at Drew and Amelia's condo.
4.8
The condo was clean, has lot of great amenities and in a perfect location. My only suggestion is to have an wifi extender in the bedroom so the wifi reception can be better there.

Centralized location
4.8
The office gave us the phone # to call when need anything. However, we did call him for toilet papers 2 days Sun/Mon morning/afternoon (all day), nobody pickup the phone. complained to the office, office said "keep / try" to call him (???). We had to go to Safeway to buy it. it's not a big deal, but service is "how many stars would you give to?"
4.8
Had a great stay in Kihei. The property is maintained really well and it's nice to walk around on the grounds and enjoy the plants, trees and flowers. There are 2 pools to choose from so if one is busy you can check the other. The beach across the street is really pretty and relaxing. We never had to use the A/C just left the Lanai doors open and had a great breeze blowing in day and night. The restaurants around were all delicious and convenient. Bonus was all the beach gear in the closets to use at your leisure while on the island. The local Foodland card provided helped us save money in the grocery store. Felt safe and secure as well.
4.8
Good value, nice stay with great amenities including washer and dryer, safe in closet, and smart tv. Any place with a smart tv gets five stars for me. Lots of household items available for use, though we barely used any. Great places to get takeout in Kihei.
This unit is on the second floor and provides good security for travelers. Ocean view, though small, from the living room and balcony.
Bring your own toiletries as shampoo and body wash are not provided. A/C works well, but doesn’t reach the bedroom. Also bring disposable house slippers if you take shoes off in the house.

I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Maui!
Drew and Amelia were easy to work with, and always responded quickly to communication. The suggestions they had for resources, activities, etc. around their location was helpful.
The location is phenomenal! Directly across from the beach, you can easily visit it everyday, and the condo has some essential gear for that. If the beach isn’t your thing, the complex has two pools with plenty of seating. There’s also BBQ’s available for use, and they were cleaned every morning by staff (we saw this, not just what we were told).
There were only two complaints, and neither were any fault of Drew or Amelia. Upon arrival, there’s was a significant amount of dust collected in a stand up fan in the bedroom and behind the headboard. I’ve passed this issue on, and they’ve notified their cleaning crew, so I have no concerns that it’ll be corrected. The other is simply a part of the building design (which obviously Drew and Amelia don’t have any control). There are windows in the bedroom that face the front walkway of the building. These windows (and/or thin walls) make it easy to hear everything going on outside. The complex does have quiet hours from 10pm-8am, but there were a couple times it was bothersome (like people talking loudly or the garbage truck that came Saturday morning at 7:30am).
Those however were only minor inconveniences, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book the condo again. Hopefully I’ll get to visit Maui again sooner rather than later, and do just that!

Unit could use a serious decluttering. We did notify the local contact that the Fridge and Washer need fixing or replacing so perhaps this has already been done.
Good location as always.
4.8
We had a three night stay in Kihei prior to getting our timeshare up in Napili. All was as explained in the advertisement and the location to the beach and dining, etc..was wonderful! Even a sweet little view of the sun setting! You def. need to run the AC in the living room window for a good portion of the day, so we were thankful for that. The bed was big & comfy but there is Very little room between the bed frame and the dresser - the frame corners kind of stick out and we both hit them and it Hurts! So just be aware - nothing you can do about it and doesn’t diminish the niceness of the rental.
4.8
It was such a nice stay here with all the information provided beforehand. Highly recommend
4.8
Property grounds very clean, nice pool area, close to beach, and conveniently located near stores, restaurants, and equipment rentals. Condo had lots of extra conveniences like beach umbrellas, chairs, cooler, and much more.
4.8
The condo fit our lifestyle well. We're out and about all day, and like to fix simple dinners for ourselves at the end of the day. The living area was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Because of the buildings layout the bedrooms in all the units are a bit dark and noisy. You can hear any activity in the parking lot, and from people walking to their units, nothing ear plugs can't block out.
4.8
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! The furnishings are great and you can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes. There are also many restaurants and souvenir shops within walking distance. The apartment is the perfect size for two people. It may be a bit tight with more. There is no closet space for clothes but the closet is FULL of beach necessities! Towels, beach chairs, umbrella, toys, snorkels - you name it.
There is only one AC unit (not central air) in the living room. It was late afternoon when we arrived and all the curtains were open (facing the afternoon sun) and the AC was off, making it incredibly hot inside the unit. We left our luggage, turned on the AC, and left immediately to avoid the heat. We kept the unit cool by using the AC, ceiling fans, and standing fans (though 2 out of the 3 provided standing fans did not work. All could use a good dusting/cleaning). Having thicker or more curtains in the windows would help immensely in keeping the heat out.
Overall, a great stay in a great location!
4.8
Didn’t have no problems at all during this stay. The welcome package had everything we needed to know in it. You can see the ocean from the balcony and just a short walk to the beach and also to eating and shopping. They do a wonderful job on keeping the grounds cleaned and pool area very clean.
4.8
This condo is in such amazing location, only 5 minutes from the beach and great restaurants near by! It was also equipped with everything someone needed while on vacation . Loved waking up every morning and starting the day with the ocean view and coffee in hand on the patio.

We loved our stay

Good place. Excellent communications from owner. Only weird thing is that there’s lots of things stored neatly nearly everywhere. For example lots of miscellaneous things stored under bed, in drawers, and in the closet. Nothing bad, but just unexpected. Would stay there again.
4.8
This property felt like home. Cleanliness and beach decor plus very spacious accommodations. Walking distance to the beach, stores, and restaurants.

We had a great stay for two weeks at Drew’s condo. It has everything we need and more. Great view of sunset and the night sky. Very quiet and serene. Furniture are in great condition and you could feel like you’re invited into a home someone cared for. Beautiful collection of artwork! The only thing to note is that the bathroom is quite small and the toilet seat could be replaced. I like that the lights could be dimmed. Overall, great value for money! Can’t go wrong booking this place— just have to do it fast because it’s booked up months in advance!

We enjoyed our Maui visit so much! Local places like Beach Street were an almost daily treat. The host sent a welcome package that helped us prep in advance for amazing opportunities like our sunrise experience at Haleakala (thank you so much for that tip!) and exploring along the road to Hana. The beach...an everyday pleasure! The welcome package also included tips on many of the area restaurants (a particular favorite--brunch at the Hula Grill! terrific food and ambiance!). The condo is in a great location, and it's very comfortable. What an amazing adventure! I think we had a better time because of the help and preparation of the welcome package from a wonderful host!

Great stay
The most accommodating location we have ever stayed out. When out airline changed our flight last minute, they worked with us and let us do a significantly later checked out so my kids could nap before our red eye flight. It was a great location and walking to distance to many places also. There was no door to the bedroom and the bathroom needed a good deep clean but overall it was a perfect stay for us.

Great stay, perfect location
We had a wonderful stay. Beds very comfy. The kitchen was perfectly clean and equipped with everything we needed. The beach was fantastic and all the supplies we needed were in the condo. Loved our stay and can't wait to visit again.

This booking was a great place to stay. Room accommodated 3 of us just fine and from building D still a short walk to beach

Paradise
We have been to Kehei few times and this is now our favorite property! Relaxing island decor very clean & well stocked kitchen with beach chairs snorkel gear plenty of linens -and detailed travel hints guide. My only regret was renting a car -we didn’t need it being so close to beach restaurants and shopping! Loved having view of the beach from lanai and felt very safe as female traveler …we had a fabulous first anniversary trip.

Big condo, easy walking distance to beaches, shops, restaurants. It was great to have beach chairs, towels, snorkel equipment readily available. Somewhat dated but has everything we needed. We did not do any real cooking, but it looks like we could have. The mattress is very soft so rather uncomfortable if you prefer a firm sleeping surface. Drew provided great information and quick responses to questions.

Excellent Location
Located RIGHT across the street from one of the best beaches in Maui. The Condo resort is super clean and well maintained - always beautiful. The condo itself, while a little dated was perfect for us. The kitchen was great - had everything we needed. Super thankful for all the fabulous (new) beach chairs, umbrella, etc. If you want a turn-key Maui experience this is the place!

This is a great and clean unit. It smells really clean when you first walk in. This is our fourth time in Maui and this is the best one. We got the best sleeps here, comfy king bed and comfiest sofa bed. The whole grounds are so well manicured and barbecues are super clean. I can see the staff cleaning them every morning. It is just such a beautiful and quiet complex. The bathroom and shower is kinda small but it is good that the vanity and sink is next to the bathroom so this worked for our family with 2 teenager girls. I also liked how they had an umbrella and 5 Tommy Bahama chairs in the closet. Lots of beach stuff there to use, we bought and left a beach volleyball for future visitors to use. Best location directly across Kam 2 beach. So sad our 20 day beach vacation ended but had the most relaxing holiday in an excellent condo. I loved sitting on the lanai and just enjoy the view so much. We will be back! Thank you so much Drew and Amelia! They were also great to communicate with and quick responses. Till next time Maui❤️.
