Kealia Resort 404

First off, the view from this rental is stunning. You are right on your very own, very private beach. You won't need your noise machine to sleep here because the ocean waves are right outside your window. The location is great because you are minutes from Big Beach, which has been named the most beautiful beach on the island. Plus it's easy to get to all the tourist attractions in the northwest part of the island.

For the rental itself, it was very nicely equipped. All the cooking utensils you need and some surprise benefits like chairs to take to the beach, sunscreen available, and even beach towels for you to use. The washer and dryer were great and allows you to pack less than you normally would. They even had beach totes available to pack up everything you would need for a day at the beach. Plus, two air condition units in the rental allows you to keep it as cool as you could want.

Any negatives with this rental were very minor. They have a small cooler available for use, which we used every day, but the top is ripped, so it doesn't stay sealed, but it kept our things cool. The garage door opener was held together with tape, so it had a tendency to come apart on us, but we found more tape in the unit and reinforced it and it did fine. But the fact that it has a garage door opener lets you know that you have underground garage parking, which is extremely nice and keeps your car cool.

I would definitely stay here and recommend it to anyone who is visiting Maui.

The Good
-The view is lovely. We sat on the balcony every morning and evening.
-The condo was stocked with dishes, pots and pans, spices, oils, medicines, lots of towels, blankets, extra sheets, and loads of beach toys and boogie boards.
-The property grounds is well maintained. There is a grill that is kept clean and a couple of picnic tables.
-The location of the condo on the island is great. It’s halfway between all the West Maui beaches and the South Maui beaches and not too far from the upcountry.

The Bad
-The pool. My 11 year old daughter wanted to swim in the pool everyday when we returned from our adventures. However...the pool had “adult time” (ages 18+) from 12-1 and 5-9 everyday. That’s the time she wanted to swim—after 5pm. If you have kids who love pool swimming, maybe skip this place.
-The beach is not super pretty, but it is a nice walking beach. The water is more dark brown than blue. If you leave the condo and head south, you’ll pass at least a few beach vagrants. If you head north, it’s really pretty and there aren’t any condos north of this resort, which is nice. There was a guy smoking marijuana on the beach in the mornings, but he was staying with his family at the condo.

The Ugly
-The pool. Did you see the pool comment? I had to mention it again because is was annoying every. single. day. If I would have know about the crazy pool rules, I wouldn’t have booked here. I spoke to several other families staying there and they said the same thing.

Apparently, one of the condo owners said this new pool rule for no kids just happened a couple of months ago (after we booked). The condo board passed it quietly without input from other owners. How terrible. And how sneaky to not say anything to people who booked their trips prior to passing the no kids rule?

Rental was exactly what we wanted. Absolutely spotless All beach items needed were provided and the kids made good use of them.

Renting in Paradise

This is the fifth year we stayed at the Kealia Resort and have already made our reservations for a month's stay next year. The rental unit itself is very well kept and we felt at home from the minute we arrived. The property is beautifully maintained by wonderful staff. We always enjoy our interaction with both the ground staff and property management staff.

We loved staying at this Condo. It exceeded our expectations! The property management staff were very responsive, professional and friendly. The view from every room is amazing! Well stocked Condo. This really is a beautiful property. The beach was lovely. If I am fortunate enough to come to Maui again I would love to stay here. Thank you!

Communication from property management was great. Condo had positives and negatives: AC worked great, kitchen and bathroom were well supplied, location was great. All the windows leaked onto walls and floors during a rainstorm, the dryer kept shutting off indicating the clean filter on every load, the screen on the slider kept sticking and going off track. Sherry was very helpful in managing the wet floors and made sure all our wet towels were cleaned by the maid, after the rain storm.

Great escape

Very nice. Clean. Updated.

- James K , Posted: 08/06/2019

This unit worked well for our daughter and family. The view is direct ocean front, sand and ocean at the door step! The pool and grounds are well cared for and location great! Although second bedroom is small, it worked and everyone was happy. Thanks Sherry!!

great

- Kim F. from Buffalo, Posted: 03/10/2021

Great view and direct access to the beach; part of a large concrete condo. The main office was oddly never open during our stay, so we never registered our vehicle as requested; but there were clear instructions to get access to the room and garage. The room seemed clean, but not the patio. Well furnished and stocked with chairs, coolers, beach towels, etc. The location is also nice, quick access to Kihei, Kahului, etc.

Kealia Resort, Unit 404

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Kealia Resort #404. The pictures were pretty accurate-the resort is well maintained and the condo was nicely furnished and well kept. We liked the location of the unit in the complex and like the location of the resort in Kihei. Yes we had to drive into Kihei to go to the shops and the restaurants but that was OK. The washer and dryer were handy. We were not able to figure out how to work the TV. We would stay here again - my only complaint is that the ocean was too loud while sleeping at night - funny right.

- Lisa K , Posted: 08/06/2019

Room was excellent. Master bed very good size and comfortable. Second bedroom was also comfortable. Views were fantastic. Room was excellent, both tv's worked including cable and internet connection was very good.
Supplies were also good... we cooked numerous meals in kitchen. All appliances worked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have come to expect clean and well stocked rooms and this was no exception. We always look first to Kealia when planning our trips.
Even the eight hour flight went well.

- John M. from Southlake, Posted: 03/29/2023

We enjoyed our week at Kealia Resort. This was my 4th visit. Unit 404 is spacious, with good beds and a well-stocked kitchen for cooking. We enjoyed the views from the lanai.
My only suggestion would be to request that the owners do some minor maintenance, such as painting the window ledges, which are showing signs of wear, and do a deep cleaning once a year to clean hard-to-reach walls and ceilings in the bathroom.
Overall, I would stay here again.

Family of 3 Vacation

The property was absolutely perfect. Right on the beach, with beautiful views from every room.

- Heather R , Posted: 08/06/2019

Love this place! You can see and hear the waves rolling in from every room. The furnishings are great, kitchen is fully stocked, including the milk frother, yeah! There were plenty of spices, coffee filters and such when we were there (not a stocked item). There was enough laundry detergent, dishwasher soap and cleaning supplies to last our 2 week stay. The closet has lots of pool and beach toys...chairs, sandcastle supplies, pool noodles, boogie boards, etc The views are unmatched, especially during whale season, see them from the lanai. You pass the pool as you walk the few steps to the beach. It’s the last condo on the Sugar Beach strip, and has miles of walking. A short walk in the other direction is the farmers market for fresh wood, and a bakery for mornings. The elevator is nice when you have groceries, and reserved parking is convenient. (Note: no EV chargers). Island location is perfect too, easy access to all the activities...Haleakala, Hana, Iao, Ka’anapali, even Costco ;)
