Quiet 5th floor unit in the C Building with views of the ocean, Mt. Haleakala, and the garden from the lanai. Walk across the street to Kamaole Beach Park II for excellent swimming, snorkeling with occasional sea turtles, or strolling the beach. There are two on-site swimming pools, two BBQ areas, a tennis court (rackets & balls available to borrow at office), and the grounds are a botanical garden with abundant flowers and fruit trees. This one bedroom/one bathroom condo can sleep up to four guests with a king bed in the recently refurnished master bedroom and a NEW sofa bed Dec /2020 with memory foam topper, air conditioned living room. The living room opens up to a lanai with gorgeous ocean and mountain views. From the 5th floor enjoy views of Mt. Haleakala to the east and the crystal blue ocean to the west.

The kitchen is fully equipped with full size refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and all the cooking utensils you will need. The in-unit washer/dryer is convenient for washing beach towels or clothes. The unit is also stocked with beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, towels, boogie board, cooler, sand toys, etc.), guide books, novels, games, and more. There is free private WiFi in the condo as well as a TV with Netflix included and DVD player for in-unit entertainment.

Due to the Maui fires and coming from a hurricane in Baja, the owner/manager was very flexible in rescheduling. I would recommend a new fan in the bedroom that ran a bit faster and more speed settings to circulate air. I never used the AC, and the condo had plenty of cross ventilation. Despite using the elevator, the condo was very nice. ##### Michael B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dace R.

Pictures don’t do this place justice, I was pleasantly surprised that the condo looked better than what is listed. Only note was that the wifi doesn’t work in the bedroom and the A/C is only in the living area. Although the ceiling fan worked well. ##### Jayde H.

One large negative was the poor TV remote operation. The book described how to get onto Spectrum for cable but Spectrum wasn't working. New TV?? Then the remote that worked for a day or so died. We changed its batteries with another remote (triple A's\_ and it worked but we only got Netflix and a bunch of news stations. ##### Russell J.

The unit was well stocked with quality beach gear too- snorkles, fins boogie boards chairs coolers etc. The only reason a 4 star rating on communication was because the unit number/ address was not provided with the door code for check in. But that was quickly rectified. Be advised, this unit is near the elevators and the bedroom louvered windows need to be open for airflow meaning you hear all conversations of guests getting on/off the elevators. For us, the great views made up for it. We would still choose this unit again. All bedrooms in the complex are located with that orientation. The ones closest to the elevators would be the loudest. ##### Joanne L.

Dec 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kihei Akahi C508 Quite good condo. I have stayed in other units in this building. The items in the condo could use a bit of updating. 3 of the 4 beach chairs in the bedroom cupboard are broken. There is only 1 wine glass in the kitchen along with a bit of a mish mash of dishes and utensils. The freezer door is misaligned causing the freezer to ice up quite badly. The view from the 5th floor Lanai of the ocean and sunset is quite spectacular. Although sparsely furnished, everything you need is there and we enjoyed our stay very much. ##### Simon H. Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David E. Nov 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place Pros: Well stocked kitchen. Great location - a short walk to the beach, a quick drive up S. Kihea to places, just around the corner from the turnoff to Rt 31. Clean. Can see the ocean and mountain from the Lanai. Lots of beach stuff. Cons: A/C is only in living room. Bedroom can get warm. Other cons are not the owners fault: roosters crow at 4 AM, bedroom wall is on the hallway, and you can hear rude loud people in the hall. Overall, I would give this place two thumbs up and a smile. I had a great stay. ##### David E. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022
