Pili Mai

Question

Has anyone stayed at pili mai and know if there’s street parking or additional parking available? We will be going on a family trip and will have 2 car rentals. We just booked a spot at pili mai but it only comes with 1 parking. We are worried if we have to cancel and book something that can accommodate. Customer service directed us to street parking that is 5-7 minutes walking distance which is not ideal.

Answer

Pili Mai in Poipu is a popular vacation rental complex, and parking is somewhat limited. Each unit typically comes with one assigned parking spot. For families with multiple cars, this can be a concern, especially during peak travel times.

Additional parking options are limited:

The property itself does not provide extra assigned spaces beyond what comes with the unit.
Street parking is available, but as noted by customer service, it is a 5–7 minute walk from the complex. Availability is not guaranteed, especially during busy seasons.
Some guests have arranged to park in nearby public lots or at adjacent resorts, but these options may require a small fee or permission.

If having two cars conveniently parked at your unit is important, you may want to consider alternative accommodations that explicitly offer two or more assigned parking spots. Some nearby resorts and vacation rentals in Poipu do provide multiple spots per unit, which can save you the hassle of walking to distant street parking.

In summary, while it is possible to manage with street parking, it is not ideal for frequent use, and your concern about the convenience for a family trip is valid.
