Small, quiet upscale oceanfront condo in north Kihei
Impressive and nicely styled 550sqft condo about 30 yards from the beach. Full oceanfront views from LR and balcony! Good, high quality furniture and kitchen equipment: Ninja blender, All Clad cookware, beautiful dishes, etc. Soothing color choices for the walls. Small space but it reads large because of design choices and attention to detail. Cross breezes are cool at night. Slept with windows open and heard the surf all night long. Very relaxing! The property has about 50 units. It’s not a dense property so not a lot of people milling around. This was also a corner unit at the end of a hallway and felt very private. Nicely attended grounds with a tree covered, serene green space adjacent to the building overlooking the ocean. If you want quiet, beautiful and peaceful this place is for you!

We love our stays at Kealia. Sherry and her team keep the grounds clean and welcoming. We love the views and direct oceanfront. Condo was fully equipped and any concerns were addressed immediately. The location is close to all the things in Kihei and so convenient for water adventures in Maalaea Harbor. We also love to walk over to Sugar Beach Rsrt. and have a snack and a Mai Tai at Dina's.

The unit was as same as advertised/pictured. Bed is very comfy (King size). The bathroom is clean with a small window, and the water pressure is great; no mold/mildew and clean tiles. A specious living room leading to a balcony with the great ocean view that can be seen from the living room's huge windows too. In balcony to your left, you see the highway and the Haleakala crater (mountain), which they can be seen from the bedroom's window also. The cars' sounds didn't bother me in the balcony due to the beautiful ocean's sound. No cars' sounds behind the closed window in the bedroom. In fact, the lawn mower and blower's sounds twice a week were stressful in the morning while I was drinking my coffee and listening to the ocean, but I understand they had to take care of the lawn/garden. There are two beach chairs & one umbrella in the house. No magnify mirror in the bathroom. The kitchen has appliances & all kinds of dishes/pots/utensils. The location is great and 5 min. drive (10 min. walk) to Sugar Beach Baker for coffee and pastry and/or ABC store to find sunscreen, swim items, food, water, & more and/or the small farmer market to buy fresh fruits/veg. Drive 30 min. north to get to Lahaina to visit its beautiful city & shopping- street/park/restaurants/harbor. Or, drive toward south to explore amazing beaches, stores/restaurants. Kealia resort has a quiet & less crowded front beach and far to the left in the ocean you can see the Molikini island and Halealawa island. This ocean is ideal for swimming. The only issue I had in the unit was the small, tiny, & speedy ants in the kitchen. They were on the walls next to the washing machine, refrigerator, and a few found in the bathroom. I used bug spray (was under the sink). They were gone for a few days but reappeared again. I wrote a note for the staff. The manager, Sheri, is a very kind and helpful person and it was great to know her. It was a memorable/joyful stay and would stay in Kealia Resort a
Fabulous place, from value to location to amenities, all made our stay enjoyable. The beach was beautiful, easy to swim in the ocean, lounge chairs on the grass behind the beach were wonderful. Would love to return.
We immediately fell in love with KR 501! Incredible location, ocean view, quiet property, and steps from the beach! The condo was well stocked and perfect for two! Check in was easy and parking was convinient!
We had a wonderful peaceful stay and have said multiple times we will be back!!! Place was clean, bed was comfortable, kitchen was stocked as was the bathroom. You have beach towels and chairs available to you. We would definitely book again 🌺

We had a great time here! The condo was small but perfect for two people. Very clean, great care taken with the little details, and overall a very nice resort.
The property was amazing. It was so close to sandy beach for long walks or enjoying the water. We loved to hear the crashing waves all night long. Condo had everything we needed. Pool was never crowded. We had great weather in Kihei.

Two weeks in heaven! The condo was perfect with the best view.
Awesome beach view from balcony and the sound of waves was very relaxing. House was compact, neatly organised with good furnitures. Ah the kitchen, it’s stuffed with all necessities from utensils to groceries. As we stayed for a week that was very useful to cook occasionally. They have beach mats, chairs, umbrellas, loads of towels. In unit laundry was helpful to wash wet clothes. The internet was little slow but not a concern though. We enjoyed our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed at a different unit (#607) 2 years ago and enjoyed the whole experience so much that there was no question about staying at Kealia again. We chose this unit because of its view and to try to cut down on road noise at night (which was the only negative about the other unit). The noise was definitely less here. The whole experience was wonderful! We highly recommend Kealia and this unit. Our favorite restaurants in the area are Monsoon India, Fred's Mexican Cafe, and (if you're really going to splurge!) Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
Although smallish this condo makes up for it with everything starting with the views everyday. The condo has everything we needed. The room was thoughtfully outfitted for everything we needed. The kitchen provided all the necessary equipment for our needs. The bedroom also had plenty of linens and comfort. The living room was also comfortable to relax. The Lanai was good for meals or relaxing overlooking the ocean. The grounds were well kept and the pool was clean. The parking garage kept our car clean dry and secure. Everything was easily accessed by their elevator. The beach was never crowded and easy to access. We found a great bakery within walking distance down the beach next to a convenience store.
The condo is centrally located to get anywhere around the island or just stay right there. Just 10 minutes to restaurants downtown Kihei. And 10 minutes to the harbor for boating activities. We enjoyed all of it. We’ve stayed at a bunch of condos on the island’s and this one hits all the right notes for us. The road noise in the commuting hours is a drawback but the evenings are quiet. Out on the lanai you don’t notice it over the sound of the waves.
Let's start this review off with first impressions. The property is very accurately described and represented in the listing. The room was clean and organized, with ample space to move about. It was also well-stocked with kitchen necessities, as well as a small amount of laundry-related necessities.
Beyond first impressions, the condo felt very homey. For evenings/mornings, there are not one, but two decently sized televisions. It's been my experience that most of these rental condo's tend to have tiny tv's set too far from the comfortable seating, so this was definitely nice. The air conditioning seemed to work pretty well, as the condo never really felt warm. The shower was a full-sized walk-in shower, which is way more comfortable than the stall-style showers you sometimes see. The condo also had some folding lawn/beach chairs, plenty of towels, and throw blankets for comfort.
The view from the window and balcony was awesome. This was particularly true for sunset, when you could have dinner on the balcony while you watch the sun end it's day. When the breeze kicks up in the evening, you could open the window and the patio door for some welcome fresh air and ocean ambiance.
That leads me to my last and final notable positive: the property itself. The property has it's own pool. which is well-maintained and clean. It has a lawn area with plenty of lawn chairs, in case you wanted to relax in the sun but not have to deal with the sand. That lawn area has an adjacent picnic and grill area so you can have outdoor meals if you desired. The beach was never crowded, which allowed anyone who was interested plenty of room to hangout and not feel like people were stacked on top of each other.
All in, all this was a great unit that allowed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. It also really helped that the property management is very good at communicating with you prior to and during your stay (should you need help during your stay).

Staying at this condo was a great experience and the view was spectacular. The condo was well furnished. We will go again to the same place. They should make this place a 55+ place. Mostly those above that age but there were two young kids that week that spent many hours in the pool screaming.
This was my fiancé's first trip to Hawaii (and his 50th state)! And he was blown away. While the unit is small, it has everything a couple could possibly want. Incredible sunrises and sunsets from the lanai. Great views from the living area and kitchen. Very comfortable king-size bed. We walked the beach every day, and took a dip in the pool most days. There is a communal pool toy box, which was a nice touch. North Kihei location is perfect - centrally located.
Things we did - submarine trip with Atlantis Submarines Maui was amazing. Dinner at Ekolu kitchen (the food and service were amazing). We went to the Cinnamon Roll place - 45 minute wait on a weekday morning, but good food. We went to the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, and had lunch at the restaurant (food wasn't that great, but the view was nice, and they seduced us with the $5 MaiTais). Went to watch the surfers at North Shore and saw lots of sea turtles too. We saw sea turtles out in front of the condo and had fun body surfing there too.
Beautiful trip. Can't wait to return. Thank you for the wonderful home away from home.

We had another great relaxing time at the Kealia Resort. The condo was nice and clean, with plenty of starter supplies, and pleasant surroundings. The grounds were nicely maintained with plenty of space for everyone who wanted to be outside - in either sun or shade. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. All the thinks we look for when planning our restful vacation trips. Thanks much!
