Kealia Resort

This condo was very clean and had a great ocean view, 
The property had a pristine pool and was just steps away from the ocean. 
We walked the shoreline every morning…we could not ask for anything more.

My 3rd time staying here, it's a hidden gem. Price is more reasonable than next door at Sugar Beach Resort. Less condos so it's quiet, the grounds are nicely kept, and it's a :30 walk from any unit pretty much to the beach or pool. Parking is easy and accessible. Our units have all been comfortable and nicely furnished. The office staff is friendly and easy to communicate with regarding reservations or if there's anything you need in the unit. I love the big grassy area that's shaded right next to the building, my daughter loves just running around there. There's also a big stack of books on top of the mailboxes that you can take or donate to, so if you run out of reading material, just go there.

In line to get in the plane but already wishing I was back at unit #309. Such a cozy and newly remodeled studio perfect for my solo vacation. It had everything I needed and the view from the lanai had a bit of green and a bit of ocean and it was beautiful!!! Sherry,  the manager was so helpful. When my coffee machine stopped working, I went on a walk and swim and was surprised to find a brand new one when I got back. The road was a bit noisy, but the sounds of the ocean helped with that and,  with the door closed it was fine. ABC store, cute Farmer's Market and an amazing bakery are walking distance. A busy Shaved Ice too and an adorable gift shop. I did not rent a car, so I walked up and down all those beaches and Kealia is by far the least crowded and nicest resort. There is a green area next to it that is so relaxing and beautiful.  My lanai had a view of that and the beach,  so I had the best of both. Sounds of birds, ocean, view of canoes leaving and returning every morning, nice folks. It was truly paradise. Bus line 10 and 15 stops nearby and takes you to center of Kihei, if you choose not to rent a car like I did. Uber and Lift from and to OGG were $26 each. I found out on my way home from my Uber driver that I could have ridden a bike to Target in Kahului safely on a nice bike lane from Kealia, so doing that next time. Also regret not going on canoe rides with locals, right next door to Kealia, for a donation. Next time for sure!!!

I stayed in condo 601, it was so awesome !  Could hear the ocean every night… Views were amazing..beach just steps away. The grounds are clean, freshwater pool was beautiful and sparkling... A beautiful 2 1/2 mile walk on the beach to Maalaea Bay or go the other way a short walk and you have a farmers market, ABC store and Ululani’s Shaved ice and  Huli Huli chicken and ribs every Wednesday and Saturday... I added some pictures so you could get the idea 😊

We so enjoyed our vacation at Kealia Resort. Our condo (306) was clean upon our arrival and contained everything we needed to make our stay quite fantastic! The residents/other guests in the building were both quiet and respectful which we certainly appreciated. The only noise was the sound of the waves crashing on the shore in front of our building and a bit of street noise from the highway. The highlight of our stay here was the beautiful, long stretch of beach in front of our building. We walked for miles along it each day! It was just a wonderful stay and I highly recommend Kealia!

We had a condo unit on the third floor with excellent views of the beach and western Maui. The condo was of good size with a separate bedroom with very comfortable bed and storage. Showing its age a bit but still very pleasant. Nice balcony to enjoy while eating or just hanging out and with the beautiful views. The kitchen was well stocked and ha everything needed. Small living room with a couch was great to relax in. Bathroom was great with a nice large shower. Overall the apartment was a great place to stay and central for travel to all parts of Maui. Only 10 minutes from airport. For restaurants and grocery we went to Kihei area which is about a 10 minute drive. Great variety. The beach was beautiful and great for swimming, as it is not too deep or shallow. Can walk for about 1 km one direction and about 5 km in the other. Nice hard sand so very easy to walk in the mornings and evenings. The sunsets were stunning. There is a small pool and grass in the front of the property. Plenty of loungers to relax on and suntan, or watch the sunsets. Very well maintained property and clean. 

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Kealia. The beach is great and is a lovely place to go for a very long walk (or not). The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, cutlery, and cooking utensils. Beach supplies were also available. A previous reviewer mentioned leaving a boogie board, but we didn't find one. The bed was also very comfortable. Our only issue was how hot the condo got in the afternoon. It was impossible to sit on the deck because of the glaring sun. Inside the condo, it was even hotter. We kept the blinds closed to try and keep the unit cool, but that didn't work very well. We finally gave in and turned on the aircon. The aircon is rather old and very noisy. As a last resort, we opened the condo door and the patio doors to try and get some air circulation (although, there is a notice to not to do that. We had no choice if wanted some air.). Thankfully, it cools down in the evening making it possible to sleep. 

There's not a lot of dining or shopping options within walking distance. You will definitely need a car. 

Overall, we had a nice stay.

With so many units configured in so many different ways and in so many different states of repair, I’ll try to keep this review focused on the overall place. Kealia is the last condo on Sugar Beach; there are no more places beyond it. So you have a long, long stretch of beach without any buildings on it. If you’re interested in paddling an outrigger, the Maui Canoe Club takes visitors and is just a few minutes’ walk. There’s a nice lawn area (both with sun and shade) where you can set up lounges and chairs. The pool is small-ish but well kept. There are two BBQs if you want to fix a meal outside. There’s even a small library of books folks have left behind. Recycling for many items is available on each floor; some larger items need to be taken to the basement. Some of the units have reserved parking in the lot; there are some roadside parking spots out front and nearby if you want to have visitors. We had a unit perpendicular to the road. When we opened our windows, we could hear both the waves and the traffic. I’m guessing that if you have an oceanfront room, you would not hear the road, or at least you’d hear less of it.

Quiet little gem

Great location on beautiful beach

At OGG and already missing it!

Great place to stay !!!

Great view, pleasant condo, quiet property, comfortable stay

Great location if you’re seeking a long stretch of beach

Super Stay at Kealia!

Nice location

Great location at the end of the beach. Seems to sit in a wind tunnel that runs down the valley.. very windy.... each unit was very different. We were in 203 and I would not recommend it... dirty and not well appointed. Had family stay in 3 other suites and they were a bit better. I think they are over priced for what you get.

Condo

The ground floor location was ideal, carefully picked out months in advance as I was travelling with a sick daughter.  I was looking for peace and quiet.  Imagine our surprise to find scaffolding and yellow tape blocking our view to the ocean (and access). The painters did finish in front of our Lanai in a couple of days, but were right next door for the remaining 7 days, which meant noise at 8 a.m.  If management had let me know that the construction and painting was not completed I would have canceled the booking and gone elsewhere.
The condo itself is nice, two queen beds in the bedroom.  The rest of the condo was very small and did feel a bit cramped even with only two of us.  The cleaning could have been better.  This is a small complex - not a real resort, but the grounds are beautiful and the beach fantastic.  
If you are seeking an actual resort feel to your vacation I would look elsewhere.  I can highly recommend the Aston Kaanapali Villas where we stayed for the last 5 days of our vacation.
