Penthouse Oceanview Vistas
Summary:
Spacious, fully renovated oceanfront 1BR/1BA top-floor penthouse in sunny Kihei. Enjoy beach chairs, umbrellas, luxury towels, and a cooler for perfect beach days. Designed as a welcoming retreat on Maui’s Valley Isle, this condo offers comfort and style. Dine at nearby restaurants or cook in the fully stocked kitchen—your ideal home away from home awaits.
The Space:
We want you to feel at home the moment you walk through the door. Our condo is located at Kauhale Makai, “Village by the Sea,” a relaxed oceanfront community set along a charming beach—perfect for taking in Maui’s unforgettable sunsets.
The property features a wide range of amenities, including a spacious pool, a hot tub, an ocean side green space, and several community BBQ areas with picnic tables and evening tiki torches. Pickleball courts are located next door for added recreation. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with swaying palm creating a peaceful, tropical setting. It’s a true slice of paradise with a welcoming, local feel—take a breath and feel the Aloha.
Inside, the condo has been completely renovated from floor to ceiling, with all-new finishes and furnishings. You’ll enjoy cable TV and high-speed WiFi, along with a fully equipped, spacious kitchen featuring new stainless steel appliances, dishware, a blender, and a Keurig coffee maker (with K-cups provided), plus everything you need for cooking or grilling.
The dining area seats four comfortably. In the living room, there’s a cozy sofa sleeper with a pullout queen bed and a 55-inch flat-screen TV. The unit comfortably accommodates up to four guests. The bedroom features a new, comfortable queen-size bed, and a twin floor mattress is available upon request. Extra pillows and linens are provided, including both memory foam and traditional options.
In the large closet, you’ll find fresh, fluffy bath towels, hand towels, face towels, and beach towels. We also provide beach chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler for your island adventures.
The complex offers a convenient on-site laundry room with coin-operated washers and dryers (app payment is also available), and parking is included at no additional cost.
The Neighborhood:
Kihei sits at the base of Haleakalā, a sprawling and majestic 10,000-foot volcano, with stunning mountain views throughout the area. The town is lined with miles of beautiful beaches, local dining, and shopping, all within close reach of endless island activities. A fun Hawaii fact—every beach in the state is public, so there’s no such thing as a private beach.
Together with neighboring Wailea, the area offers an abundance of shops, restaurants, and great happy hour spots. Kauhale Makai is conveniently located near several grocery stores, including Safeway, Times Supermarket, and Foodland. If you prefer Costco or Target, you can easily stop by on your way from the airport.
Getting Around:
Most of our guests rent a vehicle to get around, it's the best way to explore Maui. Kihei is close to the airport, about a 15 minute drive.

Very nice apartment. It had everything needed for a nice stay. It was comfortable and very clean. The communication was great. Had a problem with tv and it was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend.
We would stay here again. King bed was great. The location was a short drive to nice restaurants. What was so helpful was all the beach equipment, chairs, umbrella and even a cooler. We were set. Definitely recommend!
Close to Azeka shopping center for restaurants and Times foods Watched whales from our balcony,our complex was very quite at night, watched the sunset every night while we there. The unit we were in had every thing we needed and was very clean.
We had a great stay in this condo, close to restaurants Nula was our favourite for breakfast or lunch. The condo is very nice it has everything you need, lots of towels, beach towels and beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards, kitchen is well stocked if you choose to cook. lanai has a nice view of the ocean and sunsets.
Me and my Wife stayed here for our honeymoon it’s a great central location on the Island for all the activities. The condo was clean and comfortable with a functional kitchen for meals if you desire. Central AC was awesome, bed was comfortable and there was plenty of beach towels and a decent set of beach chairs/umbrella f
We loved the view and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was well stocked and had everything we needed. It was also in a good location. We had several other friends staying in Kihei and it was easy to drive and/or Uber from one place to another. Highly recommend!
This condo has a cohesive stylish design and furnishings. Clean, quality bed & bath linens, a pack and play crib, matching dishes and dinnerware, plus a workable collection of cooking tools, drying rack, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards… you name it, the owners have thought of it! Would definitely stay here again!
Joan’s place has everything you need. Full kitchen, lots of linens, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board, etc. Beautiful view from the large lanai and a minute or so walk to the beach. We had the best time visiting for 10 days and can’t wait to come back. Mahalo.
We love Maui, and your place was very comfortable. We had everything we needed including beach gear. Thanks for thing of everything. We hope to be back!
This condo was exactly as it is online. It feels so clean and new. The bed is wonderfully comfortable and the perks of beach chairs and a cooler were so helpful! There is a great running route nearby and we saw turtles on the beach in front of the property. We would definitely book again.
This unit was very clean and well kept. Access to the beach was a nice walk straight out from the building. The pool and hot tub were very nice. Thank you. We enjoyed our time away from our winter weather.
Condo was just as advertised, recently updated with great views of the Pacific and sunsets. We arrived a little early but the seller allowed us to put some perishables we had purchased in the fridge. Amenities were plentiful with lots of stuff for beach days as well. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!
Loved our time at clean well equipped kitchen condo.
Beautiful walk in shower with nice hand held device.
Spacious deck to hang out for all meals and happy hour.
6th floor with ocean view. Building has elevators.
We had a wonderful time!
The condo is absolutely beautiful!! It was well stocked with coffee, sugar, salt/pepper, etc….. along with beach towels, and chairs.
Joan is the best host anyone can have. Any questions we had, were answered quickly.
Nothing like sitting on the Lanai each morning with my coffee in paradise
It was so awesome and we did not want to leave!!
I highly recommend this place.
You will LOVE it!!
This is our second stay here and once again Joan does not disappoint!!

Maui vacation
View was as stated. Location is in very close proximity to the very busy Kihei road.We found there was not a supply of basic household items such a garbage bags, etc. The lanai did not have any shade, so the nice view could only be enjoyed very early in the morning or just after sunset.
This is our second stay here and we absolutely love it. My husband wants to make it an annual trip now. We came to Kihei for my daughters birthday and she loved it. It's the perfect central location. It's truly a home away from home. The place is stocked with beach towels, a small cooler, beach chairs and more. My daughter really wanted sand toys and we found some in the closet, no need to purchase any. I noticed snorkeling gear too. Joan and the property management on site are always so accommodating. The view is perfect and so close to the water. We love it here.
My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at this condo. It has a terrific view and is comfortably appointed. The bathroom has recently been redone and it is quite nice to use as well.
Originally when we were planning our trip we intended to stay in Lahaina, but obviously that was out. We are very happy we stayed in Kihei. It is central, has a lot of great places to eat, and just enjoyed the vibe. Overall made for a great stay on Maui!
BTW, we had some small maintenance issues while we were there. That happens. The owner went above and beyond the call of duty in getting a plumber out for repairs on the weekend. She was very helpful and we appreciate it.
We loved our stay. Very comfortable condo overall. Appreciated the beach chairs and boogie boards! Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Nice shower and bed. Only a couple issues to note:Loud HVAC system noise 24/7. AC units appear to be directly above condo. By end of our visit we got more used to it. This was only major drawback to this unit. Issues with large TV not connecting to network. Unable to get it resolved even after having management company come and work on it. Owner aware and plans to get it looked at. Appreciated owner reaching out after storm and flood in Kihei to ensure we were ok. We would stay here again.
I could not recommend this condo more! The location was perfect! We really enjoyed staying in Kihei for its central location and its many close restaurants and grocery stores. While we ventured out to a different beach or activity each day we always enjoyed coming back to the condo to sit on the beach for sunset. Plus we always saw several sea turtles swimming bye at sunset! The condo had everything we could ask for. The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need for cooking and even extra had dishwashing pods, paper towels, and trash bags! The bed was very comfy. The best part though was the umbrella and chairs, we used them every single day! The only negatives would have to be the shower easily gets water all over the floor but we just put down an extra towel so that we wouldn’t have to constantly wipe the floor. Also, the drier would only let us dry for 10 minutes at a time so it took 3 separate trips to the drier to pay 25 cents and restart it to dry one load of clothes, but we only washed one load so it wasn’t a huge deal. We would highly recommend this stay to anyone!
Joan was an amazing host! Excellent communicator, Her place was absolutely perfect for what we wanted and needed! Beautiful spot to watch the sunset, watch the whales play and just enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine!! We would definitely stay again!!
