The Space:
The 2-bedroom Ohana (Family Suite) at AlohaAKU is the largest and most private suite available, offering 950 sqft of living space. The 300 sqft covered private lanai sits high among the palms, giving a treehouse-like feel. Located upstairs above the property's storage garages, the Ohana overlooks the State-protected La'ie wetlands and the lovely gardens. Despite not having a direct ocean view, it has its own private entrance and is just 35 steps from the ocean. The large living room, kitchen, and dining area make guests feel right at home. Each of the two bedrooms has its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, in-room flat screens, HDTV, DirecTV, and air conditioning. It’s an ideal space for two couples or a small family to enjoy the Maui/Aloha Aku experience with privacy and comfort. The suite can accommodate up to two adult guests and two minor guests per bedroom. Pre-approval for minors 13 years old or younger is required before booking.
Breakfast is not provided at this time. Contact us if you have any questions.
"Aloha Aku," meaning "the place that gives love and kindness," is a luxury beachfront private estate formerly known as Aikane Hale. It features four beachfront one-bedroom suites and a garden/wetlands view two-bedroom Ohana. Each suite has a private entrance, a separate living room, and a full kitchen, offering a condo-like experience at the beach in Maui. The estate is hidden behind a double-gated entrance lined with 700 ft. of lighted coconut palms, creating a secluded feel while being centrally located in Kihei. Guests have described Aloha Aku as "the most tranquil and ultimate place for relaxation," with a peaceful ambiance and an underused, private-feeling beach accessible from the property or neighboring homes and condos.
Nestled behind the tallest mangrove forest in the state, Aloha Aku welcomes guests with natural Hawaiian beauty and is perfectly situated for access to mid-Kihei’s amenities. It's an ideal base for exploring Maui, just twenty minutes from the airport and within walking distance of groceries, shopping, pupu bars, eateries, bars, car rentals, dive shops, and more. Some guests find it so comfortable that they never leave the property, preferring to lounge on their private lanai or on the beach.
Hosts Charlene (Maui-girl) and Gary (G-kane) have upgraded all suites with air conditioning, ceiling fans, free high-speed Wi-Fi, free designated on-property parking, key codes for access (no keys or cards to worry about), and flat-screen HD TVs with DirecTV in the living rooms and bedrooms. Guests can prepare snacks or meals in their fully equipped kitchens, cool off in the ili-ili (smooth) stone dipping pools, or enjoy the Jacuzzi while watching the stunning sunsets. A gas barbecue is available on site, nestled between acacia palm trees overlooking the La'ie wetlands.
Part of the lawn stretching out towards the beach is county-owned and open to the public, but the protected wetlands beside the property help create more privacy and a sense of seclusion.
We look forward to hosting you and hope you find Aloha Aku to be your favorite luxury getaway. Maui is considered one of the top vacation destinations in the world, and we are confident you will discover your own special reasons why after staying at Aloha Aku.

The property is beautiful, it’s intimate, and the location is excellent. It’s right on the beach which is amazing. But in addition, it’s in a part of town that makes it very easy to access anything you need. I have to say that all of the amenities were incredible and overall I felt like this property was heads and tails above staying at a hotel or one of the large condo units that are on the island. I actually loved my stay here!
I cannot say enough good things about this property. The location is convenient and includes a beautiful beach without crowds. Our condo included beach chairs, coolers, and towels to make beach days enjoyable and stress-free. The owners truly thought of everything for the common areas. There are two small pools and a very nice hot tub that face the water (make sure to plan ahead because the hot tub takes 3-40 minutes to heat). The common areas also include a kitchen, library, printer, exercise equipment, and two sets of laundry machines. For anyone who needs to keep up with work while away, the internet speed was great.
The Ohana suite was spacious, clean, nicely furnished, and in great condition. We spent a lot of time on the massive lanai, which has beautiful views of tropical plants. We loved hearing the birds in the evenings and mornings. It seems to be very well maintained, with everything working properly during our visit.
The property is small and adults-only, so we enjoyed a very peaceful stay. We ran into staff and the owners and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I would love to stay here again sometime!
We enjoyed our stayed. The property was close to restaurants and shops. Will stay again if we come back to Maui.

Fantastic all the way around!
It was fantastic. We had the apartment over the garage and it was perfect for our family of 4. We used the BBQ every night and enjoyed our meals on the private lanai. The beach was beautiful and not at all crowded. We saw turtles and crabs! We had a minor issue with the lock on the door and Wade (whom we had met earlier in our stay) stopped what he was doing elsewhere on the property and immediately replaced the whole mechanism when an adjustment didn't fix the problem. Entire staff was so accommodating and friendly!! It was peaceful and quiet and just so relaxing. It was nice to have the "common" kitchen to get a few things we didn't buy at the store for our meals. I should have checked there first, though, because we bought things like ketchup, butter, mustard-- all of which were in the common fridge left behind by prior guests. We just added our leftovers to the supply on departure day! Also great to find some toiletry essentials our teens didn't pack. And we left behind a few things we bought in that cabinet for the next guests. A great system!! Overall excellent property, amenities, staff, facilities and location. We hope to come back someday, maybe without kids!! THANK YOU!!

Incredibly enjoyable
Nothing spared in this location. Everything we could imagine at our disposal... bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear. We had an amazing time right at the beach at the property and The location was close to a ton of great restaurants and shops without being completely in the bustle of Kihei.
