Kihei Garden Estates for Maui Vacation Rentals

Kihei Garden Estates is the best kept secret in Kihei, when it comes to a place to stay on Maui that has everything going for it. The location is off the main drag, so quiet and peaceful, and it is just steps to Waiohuli Beach for walking, sunbathing, kayaking, stand up paddling and best of all for watching spectacular sunsets each evening.

Waiohuli Beach

 

 

 

 

The complex itself has beautiful tropical grounds with many varieties of palms, flowering trees, and mango trees. Most of the units face inward with views of the pool and grounds.  Those on the west side also have great views looking up country to Kula and Haleakala. The units on the south end face out and have ocean views.

Another plus for Kihei Garden Estates is that it is located directly behind a Times Market, and is flanked on the north side by Azeka Makai.  Your pool key will take you into these two areas so it is very convenient for getting groceries and supplies in, especially when you first arrive.  Azeka Makai, has a few restaurants, craft stores, dollar store, coffee shop and post office.

 

 

Across the road in Azeka Makua there are many more restaurants, coffee shops, Fitness Centres, eastititions.  Across the road from Azeka Makua is the Longs Centre with many more shops and restaurants.  Longs drug store has a pharmacy and sells everything from wine, to fresh produce, cosmetics, housewares, macadamia nuts, frozen foods, clothing, souvenirs and much more. It even has a pretty decent Farmer's Market every Saturday morning.  Most days there are also farmers markets as you head south down South Kihei road.  It is right on a corner beside the Aloha Craft market.

 

 

There are quite a few owners who rent out their places but you have to book early, especially for high season because it is such a popular spot.  Find some great vacation rentals in Kihei Garden Estates.

Maui Vacation Rentals - Choose Kihei for your Maui Holiday

Today we are sharing a few of the many good reasons to choose Maui Vacation Rentals by owner in Kihei.

Kihei is located in South Maui and is popular for its fine beaches and a vacation rental for every budget. As you make your way down South Kihei Road there are many privately owned condos in great locations for your special Hawaii holiday. You can even get oceanfront properties in Kihei or nearby Wailea at affordable rates. There are also many family oriented rentals with green areas for your children to run and play on.

There are many great family friendly beaches in Kihei (some with life guards)  including Charley Young, Kamaole I, II and III, Sugar beach, and some smaller walking beaches.

Kihei has a wide choice of restaurants from fast food to fine dining and to suit every pocket book. The shopping areas in Kihei are not confined to one district and you can find craft fairs, farmer's markets, factory outlet stores, clothing stores, sports stores, Longs Drugs ( a great place to buy wine etc at fantastic prices) Hawaiian Moons health food store and many other interesting shops. The Piilani Village Centre has Safeway,Hilo Hatties, ABC Store, Dairy Queen and Starbucks, where incidentally I saw Santa the other day on vacation, enjoying a cup of coffee . No kidding. Read More.

Wailea is not far away with wonderful golf courses, the lovely Shops of Wailea and higher end condos. It is a treat just to drive through this lovely district and if you are located in a Kihei vacation rental it is not far.

There is a wonderful walk you can do if you park at Ulua Beach. The walkway takes you along the ocean in front of all the Wailea Hotels. If you feel like a special treat you may want to stop off at one of the hotels for a lovely buffet breakfast, but just remember you are paying not only for the wonderful food but also for the fantastic setting. Our favourite Happy Hour place in Wailea is Gannons on the Gold (golf) course. Experience fantastic sunsets from here, and suprisingly in such a classy place, drinks and pupus( appetizers) during happy hour are affordable for anyone.

All of these amenities combined make Kihei Vacation Rentals an excellent choice for your holiday in beautiful Hawaii.

The Best Maui Vacation Guide

We have been condo owners in Maui for 13 years and our guest book is the best Maui vacation guide that you could possibly get because it contains a wealth of information and tips left by our guests. It is full of comments which pass on the excitement and fun of so many wonderful Maui vacations. Better still, our guests tell of their favourite restaurants, snorkeling spots, drives, tours, walks and more which they were delighted and happy to share with future guests. They also leave nice comments about how they appreciated the special touches that we thought of to make them feel as comfortable as possible in their home away from home.

No wonder, the first thing we do when we arrive late at night on our flight from Canada, is to sit down and read all the nice comments our guests have left. It makes us feel happy and proud that we have helped make their Maui vacation a memorable one.

We also take advantage of the many useful tips on things to do and places to see, which were so graciously given from the real life experiences of our guests. We know that this is how most vacation rental owners feel so we encourage you to try renting from an owner if you have always in the past stayed in hotels. We haven't as yet seen a guest book in any hotel room we have stayed in.
If you own a vacation rental and don't have a guest book yet, make sure that you put it at the top of your "to do" list and over time you will have the best vacation guide for your area, as we did for Maui. We call our Kihei Maui vacation rental The Maui Garden House.
