Kihei Kai in general - and this unit in particular - was one of our absolute favorite parts of our weeklong Maui stay.
The condo community is very relaxed, friendly, and low key. When we went outside to use the beachfront yard (which was often), there was never any crowding.
The location can’t be beat if you’re hoping to drive all over Maui - it’s about as centrally located as it can get. The unit was pristine, perfectly sized, and actually quite bright even with it being in the back of the condo complex.
The beach which Kihei Kai borders (northern Sugar Beach) may be one of Maui’s best kept secrets - secluded, extraordinarily soft sand, calm waters, gorgeous. Would be optimal for small kids. We went to beaches all over the island, and this one was our favorite one. We REALLY lucked out.
Communications with the property management team were consistently detailed, prompt, and respectful.
Do be prepared for communications that are a bit convoluted and multi-modal (leading up to the reservation, messages were sent through AirBNB, email, and text, or some combination of all three - I found myself needing to cross-check things against previous messages), as well as some small but strange things like only being given 2 toilet paper rolls. But all things considered: 5 stars.
