Kihei Beach Resort 401

Our family of four stayed in Unit 401 at Kihei Beach Resort for four nights. We had a terrific time in a perfect location to explore the island. North Kihei is quiet and less congested than further south in the heart of Kihei. The condo is on Sugar Beach, which is lovely and less developed, so it feels more like a neighborhood beach. Not sure that it is great for swimming, but it is wonderful for long walks. It is also centrally located, making it easy to explore all areas of the island. We went upcountry and hiked Haleakala, explored along the north shore, and went to beaches from Waimea to Makena and La Perouse Bay. The condo is on the corner of the building, so it gets lots of light from a large window on the side, and the lanai has a view on two sides. Picture perfect for morning coffee and watching the outrigger boats practicing and going in and out of the clubs next door. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with cooking equipment, there are games to play, beach gear to use, and a couple of TV's. The bedrooms and living area are well furnished and totally comfortable. Feels like the owners thought of everything, especially for families.

Perfect location, central on the island, Unit was clean, basically in good condition. Had some issues with the lanai sliding door being difficult to open and close and reported it and it was repaired promptly. We didn't report the screen door not being intact and allowed a small flying (similar to a nat) in the unit. That was the biggest issue. They didn't bite, but were just annoying. There was some standing water next to the property and this unit is close to it. All in all a great stay and would stay again.

It was our 2nd trip to Maui, but our first staying at this condo & complex. We loved everything about staying here!(and have just re-booked for next year) The condo was beautifully decorated, modern and we loved having the corner unit. Super easy parking & the condo complex is in a great location for island activities. Fantastic whale watching from the lanai everyday.

The condo was clean. The views was beautiful. Not sure i anything can be done, but hot water heater couldn't keep up with 2 showers back to back.

This is a great place to stay! Everything you would need within walking distance. The best sandy beach for paddling, walking for miles, and just relaxing. Glorious views from every lanai. Our property manager was Sherry and she helped us with a couple of condos on this trip - she is especially amazing!

Loved our stay. The unit was in excellent condition. Very clean, kitchen was well stocked. Amazing views. We were able to kayak out to the whales every morning.

Nice condo everything we needed. Great location

Fantastic location and value

This condo is exactly as described and shown in the photos. We loved having a view from the living room and bedroom. Being on the 4th floor we felt comfortable leaving the window in the bedroom open at night so that we could hear the ocean and feel the breeze. The condo was clean and partially remodeled. I’d give it 5 stars once the kitchen and bathroom get remodeled. The condo was well stocked with toiletries and beach towels and beach chairs. Exceptional location. Loved having the ABC store and Shave Ice across the street. Quiet beach. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

Everything was in order and the hosts were so responsive and communicative. The unit was lovely, clean, and well equipped.

Our stay in this condo during May
My sister and I stayed in this condo and here are my thoughts about the condo that might help you to expect what you will be getting when you rent this unit. The information listed above will tell you a lot about the condo. The unit is a little out dated. You will not find granite counter tops in the kitchen and bath. There are ceiling fans but the blades could be replaced in them. The bath off the front bedroom with the twin beds looks like the tub was removed but not a small wall next to the tub. There is a shower there now but you have to step over the small wall to use the shower. I did not use it. The bedrooms are nice. They have two beach towels in each bedroom for you to use. In a small closet they have some nice beach chairs that we took down to the beach and used. Also they have binoculars which we thought was nice.. One closet has tons of good books for you to take to the beach and read. This unit is an end unit so you do not have people walking pass your windows. I would say that you should rent this end unit because of the large picture window that is in the dining area which gives you a view of the ocean and the palm trees. Really nice as it makes the dining and living area seem larger. You have a wonderful balcony to go out on in the early morning and watch the canoes practice from around 5:30 to 6:30 AM. Yes, we were up then and you probably will be also. The kitchen is well stocked with all the kitchen items you need. There are containers for storing left over food which is good. They have left some of the food items in the cabinet also which we thought was good. We ended up leaving a few canned items ourselves when we came back to the mainland. The pool is right below the condo but it seemed more people used the pool in the afternoon and by then the sun is on your balcony and you are probably not out using it then. The air conditioning in the condo worked great. We usually had it set around 78 degrees during the day and that is very comfortable for us. Of course the view from the balcony is just awesome. We enjoyed that as has everyone else who stays here. One thing about this condo is you will not have a balcony right next to yours. There is no smoking on the balconies or on the grounds but they do have a small area set aside for the smokers. The office has coffee ready for you around 7 AM if you need to stop in for a cup to take as you walk along the beach. This area is in a good location for driving to different parts of the Island. If you want to take a snorkeling boat trip there is a marina about 10 minutes away so a very easy drive especially for a 7:00 AM trip. They have provided an insulated bag with frozen ice packs for you to use to carry soda and sandwiches or whatever which is nice. There is also large ice chest for your use. We were very happy that we had booked this condo. In the afternoons you can walk across the street and get a shave ice. The ABC is nice to have right there to pick up that sun screen or whatever you might need. Great location and a great condo. We had a lovely time there and you will also.

Mahalo for the thorough review! What more can we say, lol.

Beautiful views and the sounds of the waves, even with the windows closed was amazing!!! Some friends stayed in unit 503 and their unit has been renovated and it’s VERY nice. 401 is a corner unit so it also has a large window by the dining table which add extra natural light and views. If you don’t care about a newer looking unit, this is for you. This one could use a bit of a facelift. I think that would be accomplished with new art work on the walls and new bedroom furniture and bedding. Other than that it is a nice condo. Well equipped with everything you need to cook and clean. Beware, tiny bugs in the kitchen and bathrooms. I don’t think it’s the properties fault, more of a Hawaii thing so I do t blame the resort. Just thought I’d mention it. Loved the beach equipment! There is also a mini library in the closet and a few board games. Oh something weird, bbq grills are right next to the dumpsters. Would be nice if they were placed somewhere else! Over all, good stay. Wish I could say I’d be back but if I visit Maui again I will definitely stay in Lahaina. Oh hope you aren’t a light sleeper because the roosters don’t know how to tell time! Lol
The final question of the survey is, “would you recommend this property to a friend?” I am struggling with this one. My answer is both yes and no. It honestly depends on what you are looking for in a vacation!

My trip to Kihei was flawless! The condo is beautiful and at a perfect was central and made it easy to travel all over the island. I would and will rent this condo again.

- Denise K. from Renton, Posted: 08/29/2021

Our Condo at Kihei Beach resort had some quirks that were annoying. The stopper for the front door wouldnot stay up and it was constantly stopping the door before it would close. The door handle to the main bedroom kept falling off when you would try and close the door. The air conditioner had no force and did not push out cool air.
there were little bugs in the kitchen all of the time.

- Frances B. from Sebastopol, Posted: 07/18/2021

Perfect for our family of 4

Awesome location and gorgeous view! Loved that it is a corner unit so there is no neighbor on one side. The digital signal for the TV in the family room had to be reset each morning, which was a bummer but tolerable. The unit provided starter quantities of all the essentials in addition to beach chairs and beach towels. We would definitely stay here again!

Our time spent at KBR #401 was delightful. The condo is right on the beach. The unit was fully furnished and equipped for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

The views at this condo were the absolute best part of this spot! The window to the right as you walk into the unit makes the whole condo feel so open. It's right on Sugar Beach so you walk down and you can take a walk on the beach for a nice morning or sunset walk. Down the beach we were able to see sea turtles and so many beautiful views. The condo has a more updated kitchen which was nice. It was easy to get in and out of the condo and the main bedroom view of the beach and sea was so nice to wake up to. The patio furniture had a good quality and so nice to sit on as you eat any meals. Another thing we liked is having a washer/dryer unit as well. There's everything you need for cooking meals and also gear for little adventures like snorkeling and boogie boarding. Overall we would recommend this spot to anyone who wants easy access to the beach and close places like the ABC store for general items and Ululani's Hawaiian shave ice which we frequented. Thank you for the amazing stay!

This is a great condo in a central part of Maui. It was easy to get to Wailea, Lahaina, Paia, the airport and inland hikes. The pool was lovely, the beach was so close - and great for morning walks and playing in the sand. The condo has been updated in many areas. It was ideal having a washing machine/dryer/dishwasher/kitchen, AC, fans in each room and a balcony to watch the sunset. I would definitely stay here again with my family.

We loved our condo rental. Everything was perfect. Great views and a very comfortable condo that met all our needs. The perfect location for us..farmers market across the street and convent ABC store.
