You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A tropical paradise in Maui - "Palekaiko" at Kihei Akahi is waiting for you!

We are thrilled to present 'Palekaiko' at Kihei Akahi - our little piece of 'paradise' on Maui!

A two-bedroom, two-bath condo, 'Palekaiko' is suited to families, multi-generational families and is even a great fit for couples, a guys-only golf getaway or girls-only beach escape! Our hale (home) is a wonderful place where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets, warm trade winds and fabulous white sandy beaches only steps from your door. Enjoy your morning Kona coffee on our ground-floor walk-out lanai surrounded by lush tropical plants and manicured lawns.

The Kihei Akahi Resort is a quiet and secure complex that has two swimming pools and barbeque areas and a tennis court. Centrally located, this beautifully landscaped complex is located in sunny South Kihei where only six to eight inches of rain a year and a consistent 75-90 degrees (25-32 degrees Celsius) almost assuring you of a warm, relaxing sunny vacation.

Our family-friendly condo is fully equipped. Our kitchen has plenty of room for multiple cooks! The bamboo cabinet bases are topped with the beautiful "Quartet" quartz countertop, off-set by the classic grey subway backsplash. The white cabinet uppers keep the kitchen light and bright! Brand-new appliances include a Bosch fridge and dishwasher and a GE gas range. We also have a full-sized LG washer and dryer, and a Samsung "Whisper" wall-mounted split-system air conditioning unit.

Furnishings in the primary bedroom are Pier 1 and the guest bedroom has a custom murphy bed and queen-sized bed with a matching headboard. The primary ensuite is roomy, in an effort to make it easier for people with mobility issues to manage, we removed the wall between the vanity & toilet/shower area, we installed a wider door, a 'comfort' height toilet and a low profile shower tray. The guest bathroom has a bathtub, a must for families with little ones!

Living and dining room furnishings are by Ratana, providing Palekaiko with an 'Island' flavour. We no longer have Hawaiian-style louvered windows, we have energy-efficient, double-glazed Low-E windows that keep our suite cooler and quieter. Our patio set on the lanai brings the comfort outside. We also supply beach toys, beach chairs, beach towels, mats and even a cooler to make your beach experience the best!

We picked up snorkeling gear from The Snorkel Store and were set for our stay!

Great location to a great beach!

We loved the beach that you can walk to...lots of great snorkeling and super soft sand. This place was so close to the pool and grass just outside the patio door. Everything was a great (except some beetles that surprised in the kitchen) Kitchen was nicely updated, nice bathrooms, and lots of fresh linens. Air conditioning wasnt great but the temps in January were really nice. Very comfy beds and lots of pillows.

There was plenty of info on where to shop and other actin. The on site staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time and are looking forward to going back.

Wonderful ground floor condo

This was our fourth stay at Kihei Akahi and our first in Della's unit. Della is a pleasure to communicate with and answers questions quickly. The condo is steps away from the pool/BBQ area in a cozy corner in building D. Everything you could possibly need is supplied in the kitchen; the best equipped one we have ever encountered. Beach toys, beach towels, chairs etc. are also provided. We found the bedrooms to be warm but we are super cool sleepers so that is a subjective comment. The AC in the living room does a great job cooling the main living space. The parking spot is very close to the unit which makes unloading groceries etc. very easy. We love ground floors and this one was no exception. It was wonderful to be able to exit from the lanai as it locked with a key - saves walking around to the other side of the building and using an elevator. The condo is a 3 minute walk to the beach (Kam 2) and the grounds are lovely. Good security on site as well. Walking to restaurants and shopping is an added bonus. Don't hesitate to rent from Della. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again for sure!

Great condo, totally stocked

This condo was lovely and well equipped. We had plenty of room, there are tons of beach toys and the patio opens up to the grass and a few steps to the pool. The beach is just across the street, which was awesome and we went every day. There are several good food options that even kids can walk to. The condo was just what we needed. AC and easy parking were a plus. Nice washer/dryer. Kihei was not my favorite though. The main drive can get busy at times and the flow of traffic and people can be congested. Besides the beautiful beach across the street, we did do a lot of driving around. Book your tours well in advance as many book up. If you go see whales, don't miss the Maui Ocean Center 3D exhibit, it's a must. We had a great trip, thank you!

Awesome location

We had a great time at Della's condo for 2 weeks in Feb/Mar 2022. There was just enough room for my husband and I, plus our 3 children. The murphy bed was great! Della was thorough in her instructions and details, and we didn't need a thing before, during, or after our stay. The condo had everything we needed. It was well equipped kitchen-wise, (we mainly cooked at the condo and barbequed), bathroom-wise (plenty of towels), and ocean-wise (4 or maybe 5 chairs, boogie boards, etc). We just had to purchase laundry detergent and more toilet paper while we were there. There are only 4 beach towels, and 5 of us, but we made do, it wasn't a big deal. We found the condo to run a bit hot, we didn't get much of a breeze with the patio open. But we didn't try leaving the front door open, so maybe that would have done the trick. We were conscious not to use the AC very much. The trek through the complex from the strip to the condo can sometimes be a bit much if you have small children or mobility issues or you're just really out of shape, after a long day, as the condo is set back quite far in the complex. However, there is the option to use the patio door, which cuts the trek a bit, and it's literally just STEPS from the pool/bbq. Nice grassy area to access off the lanai if you want. It's an awesome corner-ish unit in a super nice, quiet location in the complex, with a great parking spot. Perfect location too, literally right across from Kam II beach crosswalk. And so close to Fred's, the pub and the cinnamon roll place! Not much to really complain about, it was a fabulous stay!
