Paradise!
This was such a wonderful place to stay at! Great price for an oceanfront room, convenient location, nicely remodeled and decorated. Since we were traveling with a toddler we liked the convenience of being able to park right in front of our room and having a fully stocked kitchen. We were on the first floor and could walk straight out from our patio to the grassy area and the beautiful beach! What a treat to be so close to the ocean and see it while in the kitchen or living room! It was nice to stay at such a laid back place that wasn’t packed with tourists. Several times we were the only ones on the beach! The on-site manager was very friendly. Only downsides were that the air conditioner and dishwasher weren’t very effective, but this didn’t take away from everything else this place has to offer. Will definitely want to stay here again!

Great location... AC was not performing up to par
The location was perfect!!! The condo it self was great except the AC needs to be replaced we was in room 202 and the front room and kitchen area was cooled by the AC the bedroom was torture....I repeat torture. we had to move the mattress from the bedroom into the living room floor on the 4th night because I started getting sick because of the heat. I will say this the agency that is in charge of these condos is amazing when i complained the first night of the heat n the bedroom they had someone bring us a fan but the fan did not help at all. I spoke with others regarding the AC issue and it seems it is an issue in several of the condos therefor I would not book here again.

This room serves one purpose, survival. Next time I'll pay the few extra bucks for something a little nicer, comfortable. A/C cools the living area, but listening to the TV and talking with friends was a little difficult. The A/C may also cause issues for people tinnitus. The bedroom was nice and is usually cool enough to sleep in a couple of hours after dark. Fortunately, I'm not an afternoon napper. I'm fairly certain the units were built in 50's or 60's era. If you like nostalgic type living quarters these units will work. The updated bath was nice looking even with the jungle-like humidity. Make sure you LOCK your car doors, don't forget.

I still have confusion if we should have washed towels and sheets before leaving. There was glass on bathroom floor we stepped on and cut foot (we pay cleaning fee and should have been cleaned before we got there). The TV instructions say to click on an app that wasn’t there. Never got TV to work without being concerned of a charge. Overall, the property was excellent. I would use again.

View was worth it, didn’t sleep much.
The location was fantastic, could not get any better than being 100feet from the water with the waves crashing at night. Downfall is the AC’s are loud and in the living room only. The bed on the ‘bedroom’ is like sleeping on a plywood board as for comfort. The pull out couch is clearly overused and is in need of replacing. The couch mattress has springs that are pushing into your side. Still more comfortable than the bed. The place just needs to be updated. I guess that’s why I paid what I paid. I wasn’t paying for a renovation. Need Ductless units in the condos rather than those rattle cans they have for AC.

I stayed in room 101. It looked like a fairly outdated room that recently had the shower remodeled. The room was definitely showing its age. The screens on the windows were broken, mirrors on the closet were cracked and sealant in the bathroom was cracking and in need of replacement. The bed room was located on the mauka side of the property so it received the morning light and got the hottest throughout the day. This combined with the fact that the overhead fans very high setting was more like very low made sleeping there an unpleasant experience. Even with the windows above the bed open, which made the noise from the stairwell crystal clear, it was still hot. My girlfriend and I ended up sleeping in the living room because the living room was the only place with an ac. Also I believe the bed was a double, not even queen. This isn't a huge deal for me since i'm only 5'9" but if you're much taller I can see it being uncomfortable. Now that the bad things are out of the way, the room was more suited to a long term vacation. It's a very spacious room with lots of closet space, etc. It also comes with toaster, oven, fridge and freezer, and tons of plates. This is great, but we couldn't use it much because we only stayed the weekend. The room has cable and dedicated wifi, but surprisingly the wifi signal was weak in the bedroom despite being a 25 foot clear shot from the router. It also has a convertible sofa in the living room so it can actually sleep 4 to 5.

Great family spot.
My family and I had a great stay at Kale Kei O Kihei. The location is very good with terrific views of the ocean, Lanai and Kahoolawe. Quick easy drive from Kahului and the airport as well as to the Road to Hana and Haleakala. The grounds are very well maintained, tidy and cleaned and property managers Sue and John are very friendly and helpful. The condo is well appointed, comfortable beds, all you need to prepare food, and great view from the balcony. My family and I had a wonderful stay. Amazing sunsets!

Hale Kai O'Kihei is an older condominium but it is located directly on the ocean. Every room has a view of the ocean. I have stayed there several times and will go back again. Love the sunsets from this place.

The view from our room was awesome! Full view of the ocean from our room / balcony. We loved that we could walk 50 yards and be in the ocean. The room was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook the meals we wanted to from the comfort of the room. We were pleasantly surprised that the room even had a couple of boogie boards and snorkels, a beach umbrella, towels, etc. that we could use while there. My kids loved the little pool too. The staff were super nice and chatted with us a few times. The only thing that was a little odd to me was that there was no door on the master bedroom, but I slept better than I usually do in hotels so I guess it was fine. It worked perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. The kids slept on the fold out bed. I’d totally stay again when we return to Maui.

Although the property was clean and is very close to the beach, it was not decorated well, the bed was sloped, and the AC barely worked at all. This is an older condo complex that is showing some age. Other units might be better appointed however this unit was dated.

all the building is ocean front with great views.
I stayed here for 5 days and I have travelled to almost all the beaches in Maui. But, somehow I felt this is a beautiful location without any hype. It's peaceful condo with great oceanfront views. Sunset at Kihei from this beach is awesome. If I get a chance to go to Maui, this will be my first preference.

Condo is whatever but the view is amazing
We arrived after hour so we had to call and let ourselves in. The room is whatever, bed is way too soft for my taste and it’s a small queen size. Bathroom is kinda small and the fan is LOUD but you definitely need it on as much as you could because it’s really humid and the ventilation isn’t that great. The kitchen has everything we need, we didn’t cook but they have pots and pans. There’s washer and dryer in the condo but you can’t use it! I’m not sure why they have them there that takes up a lot of space. And the AC is in the living room which takes awhile to get to the bedroom and it’s also VERY LOUD too!!! Overall the condo itself is not impressive. That view though!!! That view is the reason why I might come back again actually! It’s about 100 feet to the water and you can just walk directly without getting on the street!

Close to beach but has cockroaches...
Stayed for 8 nights and this is actually our 5th year staying here. Love the location and fact that the beach is right in your back yard. My son loves the pool but unfortunately the first 5 days the pool was closed due to resurfacing, no big deal. The cockroaches in the kitchen, bathroom and yes even crawling out of the coach made it a little less desirable to say the least. The condo's furniture was extremely outdated, old and uncomfortable. Bed was HORRIBLY uncomfortable. Advertised a king size and it was smaller than a queen. Needless to say as much as we loved staying here the last 5 years, we will be changing locations from here out.

Perfect condo getaway
The condo was perfect! It was right on the ocean front with incredible views. It was so nice that we could walk straight out from our back porch onto the beach. The beach felt like our own private getaway. At most, there were only a few other families out there and with the size, you barely noticed them. The condo decor itself was a little cheesy, but I loved it because it felt homey. It had everything there we would really need. It was in a great location, walking distance to some fantastic eats and central on the island. I loved that the area wasn’t super commercialized. It was definitely the best deal for the price. I would 100% recommend this to others and would visit again if ever in Maui.
