Kealia Resort 307

Kihei is a convenient central location for getting to the island's major attractions and the airport. The condo building is located near a major road and it is impossible to have windows open at night due to road noise, even with earplugs. The unit had a single smoke detector which had expired in 2017. The unit was provided with several beach chairs, two of which were so old that they flaked plastic all over the beach when used so we had to not use them. The unit bathroom and kitchen were nicely and recently Iditarod and it was clean when we arrived however we would not consider staying here again due to the noise.

We stayed here for 10 days in May of 2022.

Cons: When I read a previous review that said, "The bed needs to be replaced," I gave this unit the benefit of the doubt and booked it anyway. Maybe, I thought, that person was just picky. Alas, what I would add is that it is the worst bed we have ever slept in. There were huge craters on each side of the bed with a ridge in the middle. No spring left in it at all. It should have been replaced 5 or 10 years ago. The couch was also quite broken down - enough that they had placed a piece of plywood under the seat cushions. Unfortunately, the cushions were made of a "slippery" fabric, which meant that they would slide off the plywood when you sat down.

Pros: The bathrooms were fine, the kitchen was servicable, and the unit was pretty clean. AC worked well. The view was amazing, and the sound of the ocean drowned out most of the traffic noise. Kealia is a lovely community with a great beach.

Takeaway: We love Kealia and have stayed in other units before. If the owner hasn't replaced the bed and the couch, I highly recommend that you stay either in a different unit, or stay somewhere else.
Rents are way up - the owner needs to take some of those profits and reinvest them in the unit.

I rented this unit for my son and his family. We were all quite impressed with the unit. Very neat, clean and well kept up. It also included anything and everything they could possibly need for their 2 week stay. Very adequate for a small family of 4. They enjoyed the beach, pool, large yard and barbeque area. Lots of space for the kids to run around and enjoy themselves. Overall a wonderful experience!

Wonderful Place to Stay!

The condo has everything you need and was very clean. Sherri was awesome and addressed all our questions. Look forward to my visit again in March 2019.

I have stayed at Kealia around 6 times now. It is my go to destination on Maui. I like the condo a lot. I use 307 or a unit on another floor with same layout. I really like the way it is right on a nice beach and that you are on a large grassy lawn when you are relaxing in your chair. Then you walk about 30 feet to go into the ocean. nowhere to drive to, or carry beach chairs to. The location is convenient to drive to south Kihei to eat and shop or to Kahului for shopping. The unit is clean, comfortable, and well appointed. It has a king bed, which is hard to find in a condo. Sherry, the manager, is great.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this condo. Everything like the amenities. Location etc worked out great. Having a washer/dryer inside was a huge bonus. Loved the balcony and listening to the waves. The building is on sugar beach and a great place for a relaxing morning walk. Overall, we were very happy with the rental. Thank you!

At work on Maui

I worked Hurricane Lane storm claims on Maui for a week and a half and stayed at the Kealia Resort. It was a wonderful condo in excellent condition. The location was ideal for me for work, but it is on the beach so leisure time was also a premium. Though I was too busy to partake of them, there are numerous activities nearby. It is also close to restaurants and shopping and I found a very nice church to visit a couple of times. It was peaceful here and very clean. The management was solicitous and professional. This would be my first choice if I go back again.

My Finacé and I rented out this room after our first option ran into construction issues and we're so glad we switched. First off, if you're getting married at Makena Cove, Po‘olenalena Beach, or White rock beach, then your drive will be very minimal. Second, the location was amazing with great views of the ocean and a grassy area below where you can go and lounge. The ocean wave crashing in the background are great any time of the day. (sounds exactly as you think it would) The sand below is very soft and very shallow. Our parking space was big enough for a 4 door Jeep wrangler and close to the elevator or stairs. The washer, dryer, dishwasher, and ac units all worked perfectly. I can't think about anything bad to say except that it felt like a 2nd home after a while and we wanted to stay longer. It's a bit windy during the late afternoon, which wasnt a problem. You'll find out that most of the island is windy. Sugar beach cafe has great coffee that is within walking distance. But they also have a coffee maker if you want to make your own. Very clean and family friendly place. (inlcuded, floaty noodles, boogie boards, tons of towels, 4-5 beach chairs). Til next time. Mahalo!

Fantastic Unit, Fantastic location

We had a great time, you could not ask for a better location. The unit had everything we needed, was well appointed and clean. The extra bed was perfect for our kids. Sugar Beach is not crowded at all, most days felt almost like having our own private beach. We have already booked our next trip back for 2019.
