Truly a great stay!
"James was always a step ahead of what we needed without even knowing we needed it. Everything was nicely labeled and if you've ever showed up to an airbnb and thought "oh no they don't have ____" this won't be the case here. There was everything you needed to enjoy the island all provided by James. Wish James had locations all over the world because I would definitely book those locations! Will definitely recommend to anyone!"

Amazing!
"Just what you need to have a nice place to rest after a long day of adventure ! He literally had almost everything you could think of to borrow such as cooking supplies and beach gear. Plus the decor was really aesthetically pleasing! Quick 3-4 minute walk to the beach ! Would definitely book again, thanks for having us :)

Ocean views from the balcony that were perfect for watching the sunset.
"James's place was fantastic. Ocean views from the balcony that were perfect for watching the sunset. The short walk to Kamaole Beach II which is right across the street from the complex was super convenient. All the beach equipment (umbrellas, beach towels, cooler) and snorkeling gear provided with the stay were in great shape and made the beach so enjoyable. Each A/C unit (living room, bedroom) was fast to cool down the rooms making it comfortable within minutes. I will definitely look to stay here the next time I come back to Maui.

Recommend This Place to Anyone Visiting Maui!
"I had a wonderful stay at these apartments and would absolutely rate it 5 stars. Check-in was made available two hours earlier than the standard time, which I truly appreciated. The apartment was spotless very clean and well maintained, which made me feel instantly comfortable. Everything was fully equipped with all the essentials, making it not only perfect for a short stay like mine but also very convenient for a longer visit.
The location is excellent there are plenty of nearby spots, and a beautiful beach is just a 5-minute walk away. The hosts also provided thoughtful touches such as complimentary water and coffee, which made the stay even more pleasant.
Overall, everything was great clean, cozy, and well thought-out. I felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Maui.

Great place to stay right across from the beach in Kihei.
"Everything with the place was as described. Only issue was the ice maker didn't work. Couch pulled out into a bed for my son and it was surprisingly comfortable. Great food near by including an awesome food truck park."

We would love to be back!
"This is our 5th time to Maui, and first time staying in the Kihei area. We really liked the area, with many local food options, convenience to convenient stores and groceries. Walking to the beach multiple times and daily for the sunset was easy to do with our elementary aged kids and beach gear. The chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, beach toys, and mats were super helpful. The kitchen was nice and had everything we needed to cook breakfast. It was nice to have the shower/toilet separate from the bathroom sink as well. Kids slept comfortably on the couch bed. "

Excellent View & Place for Couples!
"Excellent view, short stroll down the driveway to the beach, but back off the busy street. Excellent place for couples. If you've got a loud kid, we spent a fair amount of time asking him to be quiet to not disturb other folks as this is a very relaxing location."

The Ocean View Was Great!
"Our family enjoyed our visit to Maui. James was a great host and easy to work with. The vacation rental was spotless, recently renovated with new appliances, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The ocean view was great, and we loved starting our mornings with breakfast while taking it all in. The condo was set back from the road, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The pool and tennis/pickleball facilities were great as well. We highly recommend this condo!"

Beautiful Views of The Ocean!
"We had a great stay at James' condo at Kihei Akahi! This is one of our favorite complexes but James is a standout in terms of finishes, cleanliness, amenities, etc. It was a treat to stay in such a modern and bright unit with beautiful views of the ocean. We'll absolutely be coming back!

100% Love to Stay at James’ Place Again! Easy 5 ⭐️
"James was an amazing host! The checking in process was very easy and you'll have your own parking spot if needed. His place was very clean and free of clutter. It is conveniently located across from Kam Beach II making it very walkable to the beach. Tons of restaurants around the area. Surprisingly quiet which allows you to get the ample rest needed after a tiring day. He also provides you with beach umbrellas, beach chairs, boogey boards, and snorkel gear! I've never said this about an Airbnb, but if I had the chance to, I would 100% love to stay at James' place again! Easy 5 "

Immaculate, Well-Maintained Condo!
"We had a truly wonderful stay at this property. The location was incredibly convenient, with the beach just a short five-minute walk away, allowing us to enjoy the sun and surf with ease. The nearby ABC store was perfect for picking up any essentials, and we loved having a wide variety of restaurants to choose from within walking distance. South Maui Gardens, in particular, offered an impressive selection of food trucks with delicious options at reasonable prices, catering to all tastes and preferences.
The condo itself was immaculate, well-maintained, and provided all the comforts of home. We were especially grateful for the beach gear supplied by the host, which made our beach outings even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway. Without a doubt, we would love to stay here again!"

Spectacular Views!
"We really enjoyed our 6 night stay here! James place is both beautiful and comfortable. The labels everywhere are very helpful and convenient. The view is spectacular and location is close to everything. My sister and her husband stayed in the unit a few doors down and they often would mention how much they like our unit after we gave them a tour. I appreciate the attention to detail and all the extra little details that made us feel welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

The View From The Balcony Was Even More Impressive Than The Photos!
"Beautiful stay. The beach was a short walk away (door to sand in 5-10 min) and was the perfect spot for morning snorkeling and relaxing. Lots of turtle sightings! So many conveniences close by and the rest was a 20 min drive away.
The view from the balcony was even more impressive than the photos!
Comfortable beds, clean space. Great spot!
Host was flexible and communication was easy.

Aloha Michele! Thank you for the kind words. Yes, the lanai views are even more stunning in person than in the photos. The walk to the sand takes less than 5 minutes for most people. We hope to welcome you back soon. Mahalo!

This Place Was Awesome!
"This place was awesome. James spared no detail on making sure we had a great stay. The location is perfect since it's literally across the street from the beach and next to shops and restaurants for all your needs. Although it's in a very popular area, the place allows for some privacy and peacefulness with its two pools and your balcony to spend a quiet afternoon. Definitely will be recommending this place to friends."

Conveniently Located To Beach & Restaurants!
"We greatly enjoyed staying at Jame's place in Kihei. He was extremely responsive and even provided more information before our stay re: the Pack 'n Play that allowed us to plan for our stay better with our 18-month old. The condo was as described and was very convenient to the beach and restaurants. We would gladly stay again. Thank you, James!"

" My wife and I had a great stay here. The location is perfect in the heart of Kihei close to everything you need. Check in was seamless and the place was very clean and modern. We loved waking up to the beautiful view every morning and having coffee on the lanai. 10/10 would definitely stay here again!"

Hands Down The Best Airbnb!
"James' place was hands down the best Airbnb my wife and I have ever been to. We have never seen such a well equipped place, it had everything and more, the location was great, and James himself is very easygoing. The only downside is that he has set the bar very high for our future Airbnbs..."
