AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I wish to warn everyone looking to rent an apartment on Maui not to use Pali…read moreKai Realty. They try to charge you three times the security deposit to see how much they can get out of you financially, which is ILLEGAL, and believe me they know it too. When I refused to pay it, they gladly accepted one month deposit. Once you rent from them, you will experience intrusive behavior with them needing to inspect your rental every month or so including Christmas Day. When you move out, you will not see your deposit again. They are notorious for withholding money. Toward the end of my lease they suddenly wanted to increase my rent by $500 which is illegal also. When I refused to pay it, they raised it by $250 instead. The rental I had was roach infested when I moved in, the three dressers had broken handles and missing drawers, the couch was broken, the cutlery wasn't clean, the faucet in the guest bathroom room didn't work and they refused to fix it until it almost overflowed one time when a friend of mine got it to finally work and couldn't turn it off. The staff of Pali Kai also spy on you each time you come and go from your unit with the on-site security camera. They don't like you having guests or friends over to visit and they email you to tell you how often your friend visited you. They would not let me begin my rent on the first of the month and told me I had to start my rental agreement immediately and pay a pro-rated amount in which there were 8 days remaining before the first of the next month. These people are desperate and use every manipulative tactic out there. True con-artists at best. Beware of Bob Jilek and Josh Guthrie in particular. They are the rudest people I have ever dealt with as far as landlords. Renting from them can turn you off living on Maui for good.

The day after booking and paying for this property we get an email from Patricia requesting another almost $500 or she will cancel our booking! We contact VRBO who tells us not to pay because she has a legally binding contract with us for the price that we paid since we had already paid. They say they are contacting her and everything will be worked out. Well four days later Patricia cancels our rental now we are searching for another rental with even slimmer pickings in Maui for Christmas. After reading other reviews I'm so glad we aren't staying in anything under her management. She is running a scam trying to get more money after entering a contact with paid customers.

Extremely Disappointed - Reservation Canceled Last Minute with No Support…read more I had reserved a unit at Hale Hui Kai through Bello Realty for a November 2025 family vacation involving four other families. On July 31, 2025--just before the realty office closed--I received an email stating that my reservation was canceled because the owner decided to renovate. When I called the office immediately to ask about alternative options, I was shocked by the treatment I received. The representative I spoke with, Jessica, was rude, unprofessional, and completely unsympathetic. She raised her voice, told me they "aren't making any money," and insisted I shouldn't be upset because they were "just doing their job." When I reminded her that she's in customer service and should be more understanding toward someone whose vacation had just been upended, she told me it wasn't her fault and offered no help or solutions. This was an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. The lack of notice, the timing of the cancellation, and the unprofessional response made it clear that customer care is not a priority for Bello Realty. I will never rent from Bello Realty again, and I would not recommend them to anyone planning a vacation to Maui to rent through them.

Fabulous building adjacent to another complex with a high end new restaurant. All the amenities. Such lies and misrepresentations. We found nothing of the sort. And what view there was had filth caked on the windows. The unit was small. The bedroom had a slit of windows up near the ceiling facing the common hallway so as you are in the bedroom you hear everyone walking by. And the list goes on. We stayed 30 minutes and then booked our vacation at a beautiful hotel in Wailea getting the last room available. Complained to CB Vacation Rentals and was blown off multiple times. Jeremiah, Manager, was a joke! So we have now filed formal complaints with multiple jurisdictions and have demanded a full refund from VRBO and CB Rentals. Consumer misrepresentation is a crime and we will not sit back and be victimized by either party. If you see CB Vacation Rentals as a host - RUN away as fast as your feet will carry you. We are seasoned global travelers and have never experienced anything remotely like this. And we travel 1/2 the year to remote places where even in remote Patagonia, India, Mongolia, the Mekong...have never experienced such lies.

I am usually very happy with how our photos turn out, but the images Cynthia captured are hands-down the best family photos we have ever had. When we knew we would be in Maui this fall, I was determined to have our family photos done there. After searching Yelp and reviewing photographers, I came across Cynthia's work and immediately fell in love with her style. I reached out for a quote and she responded the very next day. From the start, she was friendly, informative, and incredibly easy to work with. Once we booked, she sent several location options, and we chose Napili Bay. It ended up being the perfect spot for our family. On the day of the shoot, Cynthia was warm, kind, and so much fun to work with. She made the entire experience feel relaxed and effortless, and she was especially wonderful with our nine-year-old son, easily coaxing genuine smiles and making him feel comfortable the whole time. The final photos absolutely blew us away. Not only are they stunning, natural, and full of personality, but Cynthia also went back into the images and removed strangers from the beach so it looked like we had the entire beach to ourselves. On top of that, we received all of the digital images to keep, which was such a huge bonus. She was also super affordable, even by Hawaii standards, and truly worth every penny. If you are considering booking a photo session in Hawaii, do yourself a favor and book Cynthia. You will not regret it. We will treasure these photos forever.
