BBKM 2013/0002<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />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. <br />Breakfast is not provided at this time.

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.<br />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.<br />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.<br />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. <br />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.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Your e-arrival/text packet will be sent 7 days before you arrive on property.
