We just returned from our wedding and honeymoon on Maui and spent 9 wonderful days at Kihei Beach Condos, unit 506. I would highly recommend staying here! The property was very clean and quiet. The online photos are exactly how it is! Beautiful sunsets right from your lanai. It was nice to return to our quiet oasis in Kihei after visiting the busier tourist areas of the island. Being on our honeymoon, we enjoyed the feeling of being somewhat secluded from the crowds but only minutes from all the amenities, i.e., restaurants, shops, beaches, and other activities. There were two days during our stay that we were the only two people on the entire beach! It was like our own private beach. When we return to Maui on future visits, we will definitely stay at Kihei Beach Condos. Other helpful tips for visiting Maui: buy the book "Maui Revealed" to get great reviews and inside info on what to do, where to go and where not to go. Don't visit Maui without going to Mama's Fishhouse in Paia. It's pricey but well worth the gourmet seafood dinners and spectacular views of the beach. Another good restaurant is Sensei Seafood right in Kihei. Excellent salmon and mahi mahi! Buy groceries at Costco or Walmart on your way from the airport - much cheaper than the local grocery stores (Foodland, Safeway, or Star Mrkt.). Also, alcohol is a lot cheaper at Long's Drug Store in Kihei. There's also a great produce market directly across the street from the condo complex. And an ABC general store just opened across the street the week we were leaving for last minute items like milk or snacks. Overall, I highly recommend Kihei Beach and would definitely return.

Just returned from a week at Kihei Beach Resort. We were immediately impressed with the clean and well appointed 1br + 2ba (#204, $180 per day) and 2br + 2ba (#410, $270 per day) condos we rented. All of the beds were very comfortable and they also have a nice queen sleeper in the living room. They had great air conditioning, plenty of towels, flatware, dishes, cooking utensils, spices, pots and pans, full size refrigerator and stove/oven. They each had unobstructed views of Ma'alea Bay with panoramas extending to Makena, Molokini and the island of Kahoolawe. Very quiet location at the north end of Kihei with direct access to miles of uncrowded beaches. The pool was small, but we preferred to swim in the ocean. We found great snorkeling 100 yards west of the property, home to many varieties of fish and turtles too. The condo location was perfect as we attended a great Luau at the Maui Tropical Plantation (middle of Maui) and a wedding at picturesque Poolenalena Beach (southwest Maui). The airport was close with shopping and restaurants a short drive in almost any direction. Across the street was the old Suda's Fish Market and gas station (closed in 2003). There is currently a fruit stand open during the week with an ABC store scheduled to open in May. I recommend visiting the Maui Ocean Center ($22pp), a trip up Haleakala ($10 per car) and slowing down to really enjoy Maui.

Unit 308 was wonderful. We were wary at first having read reviews emphasizing the differential in units. We were able to have pictures sent to us before booking. The unit seems to be recently remodeled. Nice kitchen appliances and a great flat screen TV. The lanai has palm trees directly outside of it, which partially blocks the ocean view but also affords some privacy. We had no problem spotting whales and got some amazing photos while drinking our coffee. Great location. So easy to find from the airport and a short ride away from necessities such as grocery stores and dive shops. We didn't use the pool so can't comment there, but the lawn chairs were very convenient for sunbathing and the calm waters were wonderful for cooling off. Good snorkeling nearby. Highly recommend.

Kihei Beach Resort is perfect provided you know the unit you are getting. Some are beautiful and fully remodeled, some have not been touched in a LONG while.
306 and 606 are very nice but must be booked well in advance. 606 is the top floor and has a large sun area it shares with the next unit. Great kitchen and the view is to die for.
The lobby has been redone and is also very nice. Markets are close as well as Wilea, Makena and the aquarium.
Easy to get to from the airport and Costco is on the way.
Long beach to walk and a nice little pool.
Plan a trip to Lahina before the flights come in as traffic is horrible at certain times of the afternoon. Should take around 1/2hr

Enjoy yourself your on vacation and choose your unit wisely.
