Let me reiterate what I wrote before: the value here is unbelievable. You will not find other oceanfront 2 bedroom rentals for $200/night anywhere near here (or 1-bedrooms for $150-$175). Don't even bother looking -- you won't find it.

Absolutely the best place to say in Maui hands down. I love this place. Stayed here for my…read morehoneymoon in October of 2010. We loved being feet from the ocean, opening our window at night to hear the waves crashing on the sand. The staff here is beyond friendly, helpful, and courteous. If I could I would live here year round. Great location, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and shopping. Our favorite memories were the nightly sunsets. You really cant beat sitting on your own private Lani, drinking a glass of wine, watching the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen in your life. These rooms have full kitchens, full bathrooms, assigned parking, TVs, dishwashers, and full refrigerators. This saved us quiet a bit of money since we were able to cook meals at the apartment. We had the penthouse apartment so we had the hole top floor to ourselves. This place is not for people who stay at 5 star resorts and want to be served 24/7. Which is fine with me...more room for ME! :) LOL

This place was beautifully laid out with the open floor plan, updated kitchen and bathroom, gorgeous views from our lanai with a great set up, and lovely flooring throughout. We barely needed our car since everything is within walking distance. I'd say we only needed our car to go joy riding, to go to a Luau and to go back to the airport. We went everywhere by foot and we were so blessed that the beach and park is just across the street. Our condo even had beach chairs, a big beach umbrella and cooler available for us. If we needed the pool there were the two pool noodles that I would definitely have used ((smile)). They think of everything as they even had sunscreen lotion, which I should have used! One small word of advice, don't forget to register your vehicle and do not park in the spots labeled "Owner" Mahalo Maui!!! You've spoiled this Cali gal forever!!!!

There are fewer & fewer locals in Kihei Villages and in Maui everyday, and the whole island is starting to feel like any rude uppity white-washed area. It's heartbreaking.

Everything I needed was always just a short drive away, which made living here even better. Throughout my time here, I always felt cared for.

A very nice woman answered the phone, greeted me and then transferred me over to a leasing agent. After asking about their availability I was told that they do not discuss availability until after you submit an application and pay their $45 application fee. When I expressed that I was not interested in submitting an application until I knew about what available homes they had, I was then told in a very smug tone that they do not discuss their availability until after you are approved. As if it's some secret right of passage to know if they have an apartment available. Who is going to spend money before they even know if something is available or not and if it's something that works for them?! It was the most irritating three minute phone call so I just told her I was no longer interested and hung up.

I stayed at Maui Vista, Building 1, unit 1205, and this was the worst experience I've ever had with…read morea rental property. Everything looked fine when I checked in, but after my first night I woke up with my entire back covered in painful, swollen bites. I had never experienced bed bugs before, so at first I didn't understand what was happening. The second night, I slept in the living room with different pillows, hoping it was just an allergy. Instead, I woke up in the middle of the night from intense burning and pain. The bites spread to my arms, legs, face, stomach, hands -- everywhere. The swelling and irritation were severe and extremely painful. I could not sleep at all. I messaged the owners immediately in the middle of the night telling them I couldn't stay there anymore. They only replied the next morning asking for "proof." I sent photos showing my skin covered in huge swollen red bites, but they answered very slowly and didn't offer any help. They told me they had no other unit to move me to and offered only a refund for the remaining days. Considering the state I was in, this was unacceptable. They didn't truly take me seriously until Pest Control arrived. When the Pest Control workers saw my skin, they were visibly shocked, and they confirmed bed bugs in the bed. Only after their confirmation did the owners agree to issue a full refund. Despite how severe my situation was, there was no apology, no sympathy, no support, not even a phone call. Instead, they told me that I had to leave immediately and that I would only receive the refund once I checked out. I explained that I needed time to wash my belongings so I wouldn't take their bed bugs with me. I had to throw away multiple personal items and urgently book another place to stay. The following days of my trip were ruined. I spent 5-6 days treating painful, swollen bites that made it almost impossible to sleep. What was supposed to be my long-awaited vacation turned into stress, pain, and unexpected expenses -- all because of an infestation that clearly didn't start overnight. The number of bites I received makes it obvious that this issue was ongoing for a long time and not properly addressed. Bed bugs do not appear in such quantities in just a day or two. This tells me the unit hadn't been properly cleaned or treated for months. If you don't want your vacation ruined, your body covered in painful bites, and your health and belongings put at risk, avoid this unit and be extremely careful with this property. The way the owners handled (or rather ignored) the situation was completely unacceptable.

These two were absolutely amazing and made us feel so welcomed on the property. Michelle is so friendly and helpful, as well as happy to assist us with anything we needed. She is THE best Property Manager we've ever had the pleasure of having. She is a very valuable addition to this complex! About our Apartment: We loved our time here. We woke up every morning to the sound of birds chirping and a view of the sun rising over Haleakala every morning. There are beautiful palms and plants surrounding the property. They take great care of the entire complex. NO BUGS! (never had that in my life living on Maui), and they do a quarterly spray if you're okay with that in your unit. Also, the units are far back enough where you don't hear any road noise. It was so nice having that peace and quiet. Oh, and the access to 2 pools and 2 hottubs! AMAZING! They're SUCH a great addition to the property. Location is great too. Right in downtown South Kihei area and you can walk EVERYWHERE. I started every morning and/or evening with my walks on the beach. It's hard to beat the price/location/management of this property. I never felt more safe renting. THANK YOU Michelle and Paul. We loved our time here.

ZERO STARS IF IT WERE POSSIBLE!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!! THESE COMPLEX IS CONTROLLED BY EVIL PEOPLE!!…read moreThere was a recent fire that took out one of their buildings and the owner of this complex decided a proper solution was to raise the rent $700..the best part was the fire started due to their own maintenance worker. he was smoking by the maintenance shed and used a gasoline canister to set his cigarette. The black mold seeping into the walls, floors, and ceilings are so bad that tenants are getting sick including their pets. They won't take any responsibility for this and are screwing the current tenants out of money so they can rebuild this. the woman that works in the office started getting mouthy with me when I asked her about the fire. People lost their homes and they wouldn't do anything. they called Red Cross and Red Cross wouldn't do anything. Things like this are why the homelessness rate is so high here. DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND DO NOT EVERY RENT FROM THIS HORRIBLE, EVIL, PEOPLE!!! I am warning you all now..just look somewhere else. It is not worth the hell they will make you crawl through.

We are just a block off a very pretty little Kalepolepo beach and only a mile or so from all the most useful local shopping.

We shopped for over 9 months to find a unit that met our criteria! This one hit all the checkboxes such as a quiet complex, close proximity to the beach, on-site security and management, and a pool! The units are quite spacious and each one has two bathrooms! We ended up purchasing a 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom unit, and we fell in love with the layout, natural light, and complex. The neighbors are all incredibly friendly too! While we were doing some renovations, we frequently had neighbors lend us tools or even offer to help! There are lots of young families and it feels very safe! We're a young couple who will be long-term renting our unit for a little while until we get our lives back home ready for a move to the island to be with extended family who live in Kihei. We can't wait! We are also quite impressed by the HOA management thus far! It's a new board with new management. Special shoutout to Kate for all of her wonderful work as the on-site manager! Thank you for all that you do! It's clear that this complex has made a real effort to invest in the buildings, landscaping, and community. They also no longer allow short-term rentals which makes it extra quiet! All of the old reviews from 2010-2018 really don't do the complex justice. It's dramatically different from what it was a long time ago! The new security guards are great! Shout out to Richard. He is friendly and takes real care in making sure people feel safe.
