About this property

On the Beach! Popular Unit A6, Gorgeous Remodel. An Ideal Location.

NEWLY Remodeled, You'll appreciate the Quality and Attention to Detail.

Kihei Sands is a Direct Beachfront complex and from your front door you are just steps away to Maui's world famous white sand SUGAR BEACH. 5 miles long, Sugar Beach is Hawaii State's longest beach. Why cross the road to get to a beach? You are ON the beach!

Your condominium is in a SMALL-SCALE complex that is intimate, relaxing, friendly and well-maintained by on-site management. An ideal location in the complex for those who prefer privacy yet want to be just steps to the ocean and pool. You are literally 30 seconds away from the ocean and can hear the waves from your bedroom at night.

Immaculately cared for, stocked with all the essentials, remodeled with attention to detail, using the finest materials and craftsmanship for quality upgrades to pamper you. Contemporary Pacific Coastal style.

Upgrades:

• Keyless entry (no registration/no keys/no hassle)

• Kitchen - quartz countertops and glass backsplash, Hansgrohe fixtures, Calphalon stainless cookwear, stainless appliances.

• Bathroom - Walk-in shower custom tile with thick glass, and Hansgrohe raindance shower system

• Bedroom - Serene and spacious. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves on ultra comfortable California King Bed (Cushion Firm Daniel Lakes). Plenty of storage for your belongings. Light blocking curtains and ceiling fan.

• High-end Air Conditioner (whisper quiet Mitsubishi split AC system)

• Cool, clean tile floors throughout.

• Excellent WiFi Throughout the Complex.


If you are seeking a quiet getaway, our location is ideal for long walks, swimming, shelling, snorkeling, sunning, whale watching (during season) and most of all, getting away from the crowds. Ride our gentle waves, rent a stand up paddle board or join the local canoe clubs in the morning to paddle on our bay.


Unit A6 has everything you could want for. It is truly your Maui home-away-from-home as my wonderful guests (and their reviews) will attest.



Kihei Sands is known for its hospitality and our repeat visitors. We have risen to the #2 position for Tripadvisor's Specialty Lodgings category in all of Kihei.

The common area is direct oceanfront and features a beautiful pool, sunbathing area, a dining area and two gas BBQs. From our Beachfront Deck you will enjoy our fresh coffee served 6am every morning... stunning sunsets every evening... Campfire night on Tuesdays (smores and hotdogs anyone?) or potluck gatherings on Thursdays...

Our property landscape includes small lawn areas as well as tropical Hawaiian plantings which include heliconia, hibiscus, white ginger, and rare Kahili and Blue ginger.

A quarter mile walk down the beach to the south you'll find fresh Kula-grown produce and ingredients acquired from nearby 'Suda's' Farmers Market, an ABC Store, Sugar Beach Bake Shop (rated #1 or #2 bakery on the island), and Ululani's Shave Ice (rated #1 on Maui). Right next door to the north, you'll enjoy Maui's 'Cheers' Bar, Dina's Sandwitch - a perfect place for casual dining and a full bar. Nearby by car there are abundant options for upscale and casual dining.

From our North Kihei location, you are in the BEST (and most central) location from which to see the island. Great for those who wish to explore other parts of Maui, and then return home to their peaceful retreat with an expansive beach and bay.

Our small scale property offers old-school charm and hospitality as well as conveniences you will love. Free WiFi throughout the complex, keyless door entry for your unit, SMART TV for streaming your favorite shows, conveniently located laundry, on-site resident property management.

Unit A6 stocks the essential items to take along on your adventures - beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, mask/snorkel/fins, even winter ski-parkas to wear for a sunrise viewing at Haleakala.

Unit A6 also provides these day to day essentials for your convenience to help you save money and time: Laundry soap, diswasher detergent, dishsoap, shower gel, paper towels, tp, cooking oil, olive oil, spices and more.

Unit A6 is strictly for a party of 2 persons & has been a favorite for honeymooning couples and those celebrating an anniversary or special birthday. *** Ask about special treats that can be arranged for your arrival to help celebrate the occassion (ie, champagne, fruit basket, cake, chocolates, with a handwritten card, or your special request) ***

(High Season (with higher nightly rates) runs from late December to mid-April and Regular Season (most affordable rates) runs from late April to mid-December. During Regular Season get the best rate by staying 7 or more nights.)

Your Perfect Maui vacation is my goal!

'Aloha, ....We particularly enjoy the closeness to the ocean of this condo unit. It's a pleasure to be lulled to sleep with the sound of waves slapping onto the beach... Having stayed here at Kihei Sands for almost 13 days we discovered it's a great 'secret' place on Maui! Our condo here (A-6) has been a delight & hope to stay here again..'


- from guest Anne I.:

'Dear Elen - Amanda and I had such a wonderful vacation! I hope to come back and bring my husband sometime. Maui has Everything, and we tried to do it all! After talking with some of the other guests in the condos, it seems yours is much nicer, updated, etc.than some of the others. I don't believe in luck, and am especially grateful to the universe for sending me to you! Mahalo again, hope to talk to you again sometime soon. Anne & Amanda'



'Aloha Elen,
I just wanted to send you a quick note of BIG THANKS! Your place and assistance were wonderful!!! My brother & I greatly enjoyed our 1st trip to Hawaii / Maui, it certainly will not be our last. Please know that the Kihei Sands and A6 are already being recommended to everyone! I guarantee you will hear from us again (hopefully sooner than later). I included a picture of us on the last evening, enjoying some of Nelson's great coffee and soaking in the amazing view!
Mahalo!

Perfect get away

All I can say is next time we’ll stay longer. Everything was perfect. The condo had lots of perks. Beach chairs, ice chest, patio, pool, snorkel equipment. All that and steps from the beach. Perfect getaway from the cold of Alaska. Thank you.

An Adventure in Paradise!

We had a wonderful week at Ellen’s condo. She was so welcoming and informative throughout our stay. Great location for beach walks and going to Sugar Beach Bake shop for Malasadas and the Kihei Farmers Market to get smoothies and fresh fruit. Whales were fun to watch from the lawn area. Be aware that Kihei Sands is in a low spot and flooded while we were there. If bad weather is forecast take it seriously. Ellen was incredibly helpful and swiftly dispatched her A-Team to clean up the water that seeped in. S. Kihei Road was closed due to mud and debris. A very rare occurrence. It just added to our Maui adventure! Would definitely come again but different time of year.

Amazing little condo

This 1 bedroom condo was actually steps away from the beach. Nice little patio to enjoy morning coffee with my sweetheart. The property was beautiful and welcoming. All outdoor shared space: patio, umbrellas, sun chairs, bbq, pool were perfect. Lots of friendly vibes. This unit had everything we needed. We loved our walks on the beach and close proximity to shopping, snorkeling and great restaurants. A hidden gem.

Great location close to activities

Had a great stay. The unit was efficiently and pleasantly laid out. No real view but the patio that is shared was lovely and people really engaged and had fun with their new neighbors. There is beautiful tropical foliage and cute geckos along the walkway. Long nice beach, other than that drive to great activities like snorkelying, boating and upcountry. It was rather windy most days, with tradewinds off the harbor.

Perfect stay

Ellen was so great, answering all my questions. Her suite was outfitted with almost everything we needed. Comfy bed. Perfect kitchen. The location is one patio back from the pool which was perfect - close enough with still providing privacy- front suites have people in front of them often. Seating around the pool and in the common BBQ area always available. Beach was perfect. Very quiet. Perfect for a nice and relaxing, quiet vacation. I had read reviews about the beach being windy but we didn’t find that at all. Absolutely loved our stay.

Centrally Located in Kihei

We loved our stay in A6! A very delightful, well appointed unit right on the beach. We grabbed our coffee/breakfast and sat on the lounge chairs every morning to watch the ocean and rowers and even a rainbow during our stay. It was the perfect location to reach other parts of the island too. We were a half hour or less (usually less) to explore other beaches and sights all over the island would definitely stay here again on another trip to Maui.

This condo is beautifully appointed. Everything you need is here and is top-notch! The location can't be beat. Right on Sugar Sand Beach, which surprisingly was never crowded at all. There is a nice pool, outdoor BBQs, new patio furniture and lounges, plus a nice grassy area. The owner, Elen, was a delight to communicate with!

Hear the ocean waves crashing from your window!

My daughter actually took the trip. I just did the booking. Here's what she and her fiance (they just got engaged up on Haleakala) had to say: "The condo was perfect. Beautiful, clean, full kitchen, free coffee, beach supplies. Everything we needed plus more. Best part: to get to the beach you walk out the condo door, go down the hall, pass the pool and there is the beach right in front of you. No road to cross... it's all just there. Ideal location in an ideal community. We loved the condo. We loved the beach. We loved Kihei. Counting the days until we can go back." From my side, Elen was great to work with. Her communication was excellent. She kept us totally on top of things and had great recommendations for things to do, places to eat as well as where to rent the car! My daughter also mentioned that check-out was a breeze. There wasn't a mountain of chores to do like some short term rentals. They totally appreciated that as well. Everything was 10 out of 10! Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Elen

Host profile image
When not in Maui I'm at home in the Bay Area California, perhaps hiking with Buster (my companion in the photo), growing organic fruit and vegetables in my garden, or travelling elsewhere....one of my favorite things to do! I've visited and stayed on 5 of Hawaii's islands and love them all. I love sharing Maui with others and strive to help you have the perfect vacation on our island. I have upgraded the unit, carefully selected the furnishings and appliances and stocked it with literally everything you need to immediately enjoy your 2nd home in Maui.

Why they chose this property

Kihei Sands evokes a strong reminiscence of my very first visit to Hawaii as a teenager. It possesses a relaxed charm and friendliness that you simply won't encounter in many other properties. Before I purchased, I looked all over the island at many different complexes and kept coming back to Kihei Sands as being the right choice.

What makes this property unique

We are right ON the beach! No need to cross a street and carry your belongings. You can hear the ocean at night from your bedroom and you are mere steps away from your front door and into the ocean. For those who seek a quiet and intimate escape, Unit A6 offers the perfect balance of privacy and access to the beach and oceanfront amenities.
