WE CALL UNIT D-614 AT KIHEI AKAHI "MAKAI VISTA" because of its spectacular 180-degree panoramic views. Makai Vista is a top-floor, 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit with wonderful views of the water, sunsets and nearby islands. Warm tones are reflected in the furnishings and art work. You'll love...view full description curling up on the comfortable chaise lounge.
THE OWNERS HAVE TRIED TO PROVIDE EVERYTHING you'll need during your time in Hawaii. The condo has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and microwave and an entertainment center with a large flat-panel high-definition cable TV, DVD, and stereo with CD. For those unusually hot days when Maui's trade winds aren't enough to keep you comfortable, the living area has an air conditioner.
YOUR COMPUTER WON'T HAVE TO SHARE THE DINING TABLE. There's a desk with _free_ high-speed Internet access, a telephone with answering machine, and a mirror so you can see the view while you're working.
GUESTS RAVE ABOUT OUR HIGH-QUALITY, FIRM QUEEN BED, and the living area has a queen sofabed. The unit has its own washer/dryer, and we provide beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and a beach umbrella.
THE POPULAR KIHEI AKAHI COMPLEX is located directly across from Kamaole II Beach Park, one of Kihei's best swimming beaches. It is about a 6-minute walk from Makai Vista to the beach.
PHOTOS JUST CAN'T CAPTURE THE WONDERFUL VIEW from the lanai (balcony). Kihei Akahi offers very nice grounds with tropical landscaping, two pools, gas barbecues and tennis court. The four buildings in the complex are all different and set well apart from each other within Kihei Akahi's lush grounds, so the complex feels uncrowded and relaxed. The D building is set back several hundred feet from South Kihei Road so you don't see the road and rarely hear any traffic noise. The complex is walking distance to shops and restaurants. Wailea, Maui's luxury golf and resort area, is about a mile away.
WHAT GUESTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT D-614:
I just wanted to thank you for renting your condo to us. It is so cute, I love the decor. It was such a nice break to get away and Bruce had a great experience with the Xterra race. We were pretty low key and just enjoyed the sun, pool and beaches. The people at the condo pool were all so friendly. It was a great location, and we found some great eateries. Loved watching a few movies on your TV, can't remember the last time just was able to sit and watch a movie, too busy at home! --Jennifer R., Bend OR, Oct 2007
I just wanted to take moment to thank you for a great week in Maui in your beautiful condo. We really enjoyed ourselves and are anxious to return for another visit. Next time, more time will definitely be needed! We will contact you ahead of time to find out availability in one of your properties, if not the same unit. --Chad A., Lake Balboa CA, Jan 2008
Our stay was AMAZING!!!! The place is brand new and beautiful! Super clean too! Even the elevators were fast... Our view from the room was so impressive that my parents, who stay at a condo on the beach each year, are looking at this place for next year. The view from the balcony is awesome! The tennis courts were nice. The beach is a hop, skip and jump away. The place was pristine clean (and I am a freak about that), upgraded, fully equipped to cook and host a party if you would like, and very comfortable. --Erin C., Mt Laurel NJ, March 2008

Response from Hawaii Holiday Vacation Rentals
posted on August 25, 2009
We installed a large 12000 BTU air conditioner in the D-614 living area, larger than the 10000 BTU unit recommended for the condo's size and enough to get the temperature into the 60s if you want to. We never imply the bedroom has an air conditioner, but even if there is a 10-degree difference between the living room and bedroom on a hot night, the bedroom is still comfortable for most guests. These guests were apparently exceptionally sensitive to the tropical climate and unfortunately happened to arrive on an unusually muggy day. Just a few hours after the guests decided to leave, the winds shifted, the temperature cooled, and the entire environment became comfortable even without air conditioning. (I was staying in a unit without A/C just down the hall.) Most guests appreciate having the extra space and convenience of an entire condo for less than the cost of a typical hotel room, and we sincerely regret that these guests were not able to enjoy D-614 because of one bad weather day.

Getting Away From It all in Maui
Louis C. from Palm Springs, CA recommends this
property. Stayed 5 days in
April, 2009When first entering the room at night, we were disappointed it was further from the ocean than I had envisioned. Upon morning, seeing the view, that opionion changed. Besides the panorama, we were away from the traffic on Kihei Rd. The beach is a very short walk and the pool was very convenient. The condo was very well-stocked with conveninences, including the beach chairs and mats. There were only two beach towels so that would be something to improve on, and no kleenex, which would have been nice. But everything else was clean, comfortable and thoughtful.

The condo unit and complex was one of the best in location
A guest from Calgary, AB recommends this
property.Stayed 7 days in
March, 2009Located on the top floor of the highest complex on the grounds, it had an unobstructed view of the ocean, Molokini, and sunsets. The condo unit and complex was one of the best in location. The complex was located in close walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a beach practically at your door step. This was a bonus since parking at many beach areas was difficult to find. One could just park at the condo and walk to the beach, complete with lifeguard, washrooms, and outdoor shower. The condo unit was clean, nicely decorated, and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable -- no restless nights!. The automatic ice maker on the fridge was great and the unit came equipped with beach chairs, umbrella, mats - a bonus. Also, it was very pleasant to have a quiet complex -- no parties, it was very much a quiet adult getaway. A female travelling alone, I felt very safe in the complex and Kihei area and had no problems walking alone at dusk. The grounds are patrolled regularly with security staff on golf carts and they are very attentive to their duties.
The minor negatives of the unit would be that the ledge above the bedroom was very dirty/dusty from the screen window 'vents' and should be cleaned more regularly, the bathroom caulking is showing its age, and the screen door on the balcony would not close or lock and the screen was ripped by the handle allowing potential bugs into the unit. Second, arriving at night, it was very frustrating trying to find the complex as reading the road signs at night was difficult. A map would have been very beneficial with landmarks identified as well as a map of the complex in relation to others on the grounds. Security had to help me find the complex. Overall, these were minor issues and did not impact my overall stay which was good.
I would definitely stay at this condo unit again.
The rental management staff were fabulous and I would like to extend a heartfelt 'Thank You' to all for making a
