We loved Hale Kai O’Kihei (HKOK) # 318 and hated leaving. The quiet beach, located directly in front of the unit, was perfect for morning walks and we saw turtles at dusk a few times. The sweeping ocean views from the top-floor (3rd) are spectacular. We ate breakfast every morning on the lanai and, after a full day of fun on Maui, enjoyed a glass of wine for each days’ stunning sunset. There’s an abundance of highly rated restaurants, a delicious bakery, a supermarket, and a drug store all within a 10-minute walk! The completely updated bedroom looks and feels like a high-end hotel room. The bathroom has a dual bathroom sink so we can both get ready at the same time. The complex is so close to the ocean you can hear the waves. The condo was clean, well maintained and the pictures in the ad are accurate. Also, check in was easy. We will return!

The unit is clean and well-stocked, and there is a nice ocean view from the balcony. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need for food prep, though a baking sheet would have been helpful; we made it work with a casserole dish. Plenty of beach equipment and towels to go around. Washer/Dryer unit is small, so be prepared for small batches of wash. The unit is on the top floor, so you will need to take an elevator up. The small pool on the property is salt water, and the tennis courts are well-maintained. Great location across from an amazing beach, parking was always easy, walking distance to South Maui Gardens.

We really enjoyed our second annual stay in this 3rd floor unit. Our priority in lodging is a real Ocean Front view. The location was very convenient to Kihei restaurants, grocery store, beaches, and turtle watching. We saw many whales from our lanai. We actually slept on the sofa bed to enjoy the view and the sound of the surf. The furnishings were more than adequate. AA Oceanfront Rentals were great to deal with, and kept in touch to make sure we were happy.
