The place was perfect, I would stay there again. The location may seem away from other popular cities but it is right in the middle of the island so if you plan on visiting everything. This is the perfect spot to not have 1 hr plus drives because you decide to stay on one side

Pacific Shores across street from Kama'ole Beach I

KristaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Our family of 5 had the most comfortable stay here! Really appreciated the beach chairs and toys available - since the beach was within walking distance, we were there any time we had a free moment! The location could not be beat. We were less than a 5 minute drive to our surf lessons, Foodland, and the Kihei food trucks. Kihei Caffe is right next door! The beds and pillows are super comfy and we had the best sleep we’ve had in an Airbnb. Felt right at home.

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed here for the first part of our trip to Maui. It was conveniently located to all the major activities. It was well stocked with beach items (chairs, coolers, boogie boards, extra reef safe sunscreen). Communication with Andrew was easy. We’d stay here again!

*Last Minute Deal*Oceanfront Maui's Sugar Beach!

PeterRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This oceanfront condo was as described - newly renovated, in an older building and direct oceanfront with awesome views. We were lucky to watch whales from our balcony! There is a ABC market across the street as well as Shave Ice place, Bakery and farmers market. There are only two downsides - the AC in the unit has a very weak air flow and barely keeping up the space at a comfortable temperature, and the second one being - the ocean in front of the building was always brown and muddy-looking. There were some heavy rains in January and the water was still muddy in April. We did not go into the ocean in front of the building even once. The host was super-responsive and accommodating. Overall it was a very nice stay!

Ocean front property- Sugar Beach!13531117

Jean-JacquesRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The building, at the north end of Sugar beach, in Kihei, right on the water, was in a beautiful location to experience daily gorgeous sunsets and the clean sandy beach. The grounds which featured a pool, barbecues, chairs and lounge chairs were well trimmed. The apartment was nicely furnished, filled with all amenities (coolers, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, sunglasses, hats, sunblock, aloe vera lotion...) needed for a great stay at the beach. The elevators were clean and functional, and there were carts to facilitate transfer of luggage from the parking lot to our apartment. The owner had developed a very detailed guide that helped us operate the various pieces of equipment in the apartment. In addition, she was very responsive to various questions we had on check-in. There was also a local representative who proved helpful when a very rare power failure caused some issues. In summary, this is a wonderful place I strongly recommend to relax and enjoy the beautiful Maui weather

Luxury 2bd2bth Kihei Maui Condo Across from Beach

BrookeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We were so happy with our stay. The location is great- right across the street from a nice beach area, close to fun restaurants and centrally located to everything we wanted to do in Maui. It was so nice having access to the beach chairs/umbrellas/beach toys and having everything we needed provided with the rental. Rebecca was great about giving us clear information and instructions, and responded quickly when we needed a response. We felt right at home and will definitely consider booking here again if we ever make it to Maui again!

Island Surf 311 Oceanview!! Steps from the Ocean. Air Purifier! Sanitized Cleaning! Watch the morning Surfers!

ChandlerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
While sipping your morning coffee you can hear the waves of the Pacific lapping gently on the shore in the distance as a surf instructor unlocks the door to thwbschool across the street. The rest of your group rallies for the morning, and you stroll down to Kihei Caffe for a tasty breakfast, then head out on adventures in the most beautiful place in the world. If that sounds uninteresting to you, move along. But this is the fantasy we were greeted with each morning at this lovely rental, and it'll haunt my dreams for years to come.

Mana Hale Vacation Rental

MadelonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This home is extremely well equipped with everything you may need. Kitchen tools, speaker to play music, beach gear and towels, it's all there. The house has a beautiful garden and it's a quiet neighborhood. Cassie is very responsive and flexible. She gave us some great recommendations in the area. The location of the house is very convenient, centrally located on the island. Beds are comfortable and so is the living room. If we come back to Maui we will stay here again!

Cajudoy's Hale - STKM 2O13-OO18/TA-081-709-8752-01

DerekRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house/location. It had all the space and amenities to make it a comfortable stay for our party of 6. We loved waking up every morning and walking over to Kraken Coffee for a delicious cup of coffee and then later walking over to the food trucks at night for an amazing variety of food for dinner. Probably our absolute favorite thing was how conveniently close Foodland grocery store was. We would love to stay there again in the future! Mahalo!

South Maui Guesthouse

DanRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We’ve been to Maui four times in the past year, and Peter’s place has been by far the best location and value of all our visits. It’s perfectly situated—just 5–15 minutes from what we feel are the best beaches and snorkeling spots on the island. The location easily beats Kaanapali and Napili. The home is well-kept, in a quiet neighborhood just off the main road, so you get peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Peter is a kind and respectful host—he gives you your space but is quick to respond if you need anything. I don’t usually leave long reviews, but after staying at so many Airbnbs, I can confidently say: if you’re heading to Maui, this is the place and location you want. 100% satisfied. Thank you, Peter.

12 Minute Walk to Kam Beach II-Quiet Private Easy

HarutRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Scott was a helpful and very friendly host. He gave us a ton of tips and guides on what to do in Maui. His place is so close to the beach that it is highly recommended to walk to the beach early in the morning, around 6am, to get the most out of his location. His place was spotless and clean, with no issues. He has all the kitchen items you needed if you wanted to make a quick breakfast before heading out to the road to Hana, or to the national park! He is such a great host and I will be going back to him when I visit Maui again in the near future. As always, please start your mornings early! Around 6/7am the latest, because Maui is incredible during the early mornings. Scott has a ton of recommendations so he will help you with any advice that you need to really make the most out of your Maui trip. 5/5 stars for Scott and for Scott’s Airbnb. Thank you for making our trip memorable. See you soon!

Beautiful Beachfront Townhouse !

BaqRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had a fantastic and memorable stay at Doug's place in Kihei. You can't beat the location--right in Kihei yet set back down a private road and right on the beach. The views out of the windows are amazing, and within a short walk your feet are in the sand, at the ocean's edge where turtles are peaking their cute little heads out consistently. We even encountered a turtle lounging on the beach! The house is stocked with the basics: plates, cups, coffee maker, toaster, nice towels, etc. The beds are comfortable and with the windows open and the fans on, the island breeze keeps the house very comfortable. Doug also has beach chairs and an umbrella for easy lounging. Highly recommend Doug's place!

Steve’s place is great and he is an excellent communicator and very invested in ensuring his guests have a great experience. We loved watching the sunset from the deck and the pool and game room were both so fun for our family. Lots of pantry staples on hand as well as some yummy snacks to greet us. The location is private and peaceful and we loved all the beautiful Hawaiian plants and geckos in the yard. Thanks for a great stay!

Stunning ocean view, heated pool at home by Wailea

EkoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were so thankful to stay at Sandra's lovely place. The villa was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were able to make meals, including using the bbq, and ate most of our meals on the deck and a few out by the pool. The pool was nice and warm, and we loved the outdoor shower. The entire space was very private. Sandra was gracious and accommodating with a special, last minute request, we highly recommend this stay to other guests.

Your guide to Kihei

Introduction

Blessed with six miles of coastline, the beachfront town of Kihei is located in one of the driest and sunniest sections of Maui. It’s a beach lovers’ destination where once-in-a-lifetime sunsets seem to happen daily, affordable shopping and dining options are numerous, and condo rentals are near safe, swimmable beaches like Kamaole Beach Park III that invite underwater exploration with just a mask and snorkel. Kihei is also central to many of the island’s more popular destinations, such as ʻIao Valley, Lahaina, and Maui’s North Shore. Unlike the highly developed and resort-laden Kāʻanapali, Kihei retains a laid-back dose of local flavor, including roadside food stands, farmers’ markets, and families selling homemade wares.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kihei

Like all of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui is both blessed with pleasantly warm weather year-round as well as a variety of microclimates capable of delivering sun, drizzle, and sometimes a deluge of rain in a matter of minutes. The South Shore, Kahului, Kihei, Wailea, and Makena are drier, while the northern end of the island, from Kaanapali toward Kapalua, deliver a greater chance of rain. Pack for daytime temperatures in the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, with evening temperatures usually falling between the mid-60s and low 70s across the island.

The only destination warranting special attention is the Haleakalā Visitor Center, situated 9,740 feet atop Haleakalā National Park, where temperatures can drop into the 40s or lower and wind is likely.


Top things to do in Kihei

Road to Hana

If you’re a fan of scenic road trips, this winding 10-hour, 64-mile journey defines “unforgettable,” delivering around 600 hairpin turns, 60 bridges (many one-way), and countless waterfalls along the way. Most visitors will stop in the quaint town of Hana before turning back, but if weather permits, you can take the road less traveled for another 44 miles to complete the entire loop, where the Pools at 'Ohe'o in Haleakalā National Park and the young lava fields of Haleakalā await.

Humpback Whale Watching

If you’re planning to visit Maui between November and May, there’s a good chance you’ll spot North Pacific humpback whales migrating offshore. Whale-watching tours depart from the harbors of Lahaina and Maʻalaea. Those who prefer to stay on land can watch the whales from Maʻalaea Bay. Just remember to bring binoculars for optimal viewing.

Haleakalā Crater

Even if you don’t wake up early enough to watch the sunrise from this spectacular 1 million-year-old, 10,000-foot summit, the 2-hour drive up the mountain from the base of Haleakalā National Park can offer a dramatic four-seasons-in-one-day adventure. Just be sure to bring a jacket or sweatshirt, as high winds and 40-degree Fahrenheit temperatures are not uncommon.
