Kihei Holiday 311

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first pulled up to Kihei Holiday 311, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in modest packages, and this little gem absolutely proves that point. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense of “oh, someone actually cares about this place” that you don’t always get with vacation rentals.

What really struck me about staying here was how it captures that authentic Kihei vibe without trying too hard. You’re right in the heart of South Maui, which means you can actually walk to some decent local spots instead of being stuck driving everywhere (and honestly, parking around here can be a nightmare during peak season). The unit itself has this lived-in comfort that feels genuine – not like those sterile hotel rooms that could be anywhere in the world. I mean, the kitchen actually has proper knives and decent cookware, which tells you everything about whether the owners understand what travelers need. There’s something to be said for being able to make your morning coffee without wrestling with one of those terrible hotel pod machines.

The location is really what makes this place special though. You’re close enough to hear the ocean if you open the windows at night (which I loved, but fair warning if you’re a light sleeper), and morning walks to the beach become part of your routine rather than a whole production. The whole Kihei area has this wonderful mix of locals and visitors that doesn’t feel completely touristy – you’ll find yourself grabbing groceries at the same places residents shop, eating at hole-in-the-wall spots that actually serve decent plate lunches. That 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen; it reflects what happens when a place gets the fundamentals right without any fancy bells and whistles. The check-in was smooth, the space was clean and thoughtfully set up, and honestly, I found myself not wanting to leave when my week was up. Sometimes you book a place just to have somewhere to sleep between adventures, but this felt more like a temporary home base where you could actually relax and recharge.

  The place location is very good, the beach is like 5 min walk away, I can see the ocean from the balcony, I really enjoyed the ocean view everyday. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. The house has a large common area and a dining area. The stuff is very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay here!
