It was just what we were hoping for. This is not a luxury condo but it was nicely priced, clean and everything worked, with plenty of space indoors and outdoors to spend time together or get a little alone time.
We went to some events at big resorts and although they have in principle fancier grounds/pools I really appreciated the less ostentatious but still lovely private space on the patio of this unit. I'm not sure that even if I wanted to pay 2-10x as much I would actually choose the resort experience over this experience.
The grounds and landscaping in the complex were very nice and although there were lots of families around it was peaceful. They have property management who are clearly checking up on things and keeping them maintained.
This unit is steps from the pool with lots of lovely shade from palm trees. If you are looking for a gigantic over the top resort pool you may be disappointed (although I recently learned you can buy day passes to resort pools through a third party service if you book them in advance, so that's something to consider).
The bedroom and living room have thick carpet, which is not my personal preference because of allergies, but it ended up being okay for me. The kitchen was great, with nice appliances and countertops. Extremely clean and no evidence of pests at all.
I don't feel that anything burdensome was asked of me at checkout in terms of cleanup or checkout.
Highly recommend as a home base in Maui.

The condo is very spacious, beautiful, clean and has everything you need. 2 bathrooms were so convenient for 4 of us. Pool and jacuzzi at night was bonus! Walking distance to the beach yet little away from mail street so no tourist or traffic noise. The lanai has private space, loved morning coffee listening to beautiful birds. Definitely love to come back here!!

We had an awesome time in K109 such a nice garden and close to pool and BBQ. Everything we needed was in this clean spacious unit. Minor criticism was check in is rather late at 4pm after we had travelled over night from Australia.

The condo was even better than the pictures. This is our third condo at Maui Kamaole condos. This one was as the others quiet and comfortable with everything we needed. We love the location, the layout of the condos, and the check-in process has gotten easier than in years past. We have no complaints.
Thank you for creating a great home away from home.

Once again, our family had a great stay. Once again, we really enjoyed our facilities at Maui Kamaole. Favorite activities included the Kaanapali zipline and ATV tour in Wailuku. The plane barely touched down...and we decided to start making plans for a return trip, hopefully soon!

It was a great spot with privacy on the lanai and a few short steps to the beautiful pool and hot tub.

This condo is in very good condition. It has everything you need for your stay, including beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels. The beach is just a short walk or drive. It's close to shopping in either Kihea or Wailea. We will definitely rent this condo again. We had great communication with the owner both before and during our stay: she wants to make sure everything is going well.

Susan was fantastic and got back to us quickly whenever we needed anything. We’ve stayed here before and we will stay here again. I’ve recommended Susan and her properties several times now.

Walking distance to beaches , snorkeling and some restaurants but still private and quiet. The complex is located on a small hill with impressive tropical landscaping.

3 of us stayed in this lovely apartment for 9 days and it was fabulous. We especially loved walking out onto the ground floor lanai you eat our breakfast and drink our morning coffee. The apartment has everything we needed and was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We’d absolutely stay again. Thanks for having us!

Lovely condo. Gorgeous pool although not perfect for kids... Ton of rules and security that wouldn't let them play with any water toys on the pool not even a soft water nerf ball in their own area of the pool. The sofa bed was in dire need of extra padding. Otherwise perfectly. The patio had the most welcoming peaceful energy. Drinking coffee with gorgeous trees and tropical sounding birds was amazing. Only 4 beach towels so laundry daily for 4 of us was absolutely needed. There is a washing machine and dryer and supplies for washing along with nice appliances especially in the kitchen including dishwasher. Board games and books and boogie boards. We bought an extra to contribute to the collection. :) I would be honored to stay there again. 🙏 God bless this home and all whole visit. It is a great place if you need quiet clean peaceful environment.

Good. A smaller cooler would be nice. The smaller bathroom near the kitchen toilet is very slow to refill. The overall condo was good.

This is a really nice vacation property, it was very well stocked with all of the essentials and lots of kitchen supplies. The hide a bed in the living room is a typical hide a bed, we purchased a cot at Costco that worked great for us and was more comfortable. We loved the quiet setting of the lanai and enjoyed our meals outside almost every day. The pool area is very tropical and full of happy parents and kids. We spent most of our time at the local beaches and snorkelling down south. The local beaches are in great proximity and if you have people wanting to do different things every day it is a very easy walk to the beach and to amenities. We really enjoyed our stay, we did have one small problem while we were there and maintenance came right away and fixed it as well as the owners were great when we were booking the rental. Overall we had a great time in Kihei and the vacation rental was awesome!!

The condo was clean and well maintained. The grounds were immaculate. The kitchen was well equipped. It was very close to beaches and restaurants. and about 2.5 miles from a very large grocery store (Safeway). Nice open space in the yard and a small courtyard for morning coffee and afternoon wine. We would stay there again.

Really nice place to stay. Location is perfect and the condo has everything you'll need to make the most of your stay. The beach gear available (coolers, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards etc) was greatly appreciated. We really enjoyed our 2 weeks in Kihei and can't wait to come back.

Great location with the property across the street from the beach, 10 min drive to Safeway, and 15 min walk from a strip of restaurants.
The condo was lovely. Essentials like beach gear are included and the owners bulk buys things like detergent, paper towels, etc that are a pain to buy for a short stay. Susan prepared us with inventory for what to expect when we arrived. Much more detailed than we are used to and made planning the trip easy (which is nice when you are flying so far).
We enjoyed the condo property and pool which were not crowded despite stories we’ve heard recently about resorts in Hawaii.
Would happily stay again next time we are in Maui.

The condo was in a great location, that allowed easy access to many beautiful beaches and shopping. We enjoyed being on the first floor, with no stairs to climb, very close to the parking lot, and having a nice back patio that expanded our living space. The pool, which we enjoyed every day, was beautiful and lush and only steps away from our front door. We had all the amenities we needed and the rental was well stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and coolers! The owners were very accessible by phone when we had questions during our stay.

Maui Kamaole K109, Our Condo was Perfect for Our Needs! Central in location for all
activities. Within 4/5 Hours,my Wife & I felt like We were at HOME and felt very Comfortable
in our Surroundings.There was Everything we needed and the Owners felt like Best Friends that We've known for many Years! Loved it so much, we've reserved for Next Fall already!

This condo is very clean and furnished with everything we needed including beach mats, chairs and umbrella. access to the upper pool was very nice and the BBQ's are right their too so I could BBQ and keep an eye out for the child. BBQ's are propane, new and clean. I grilled salmon and Tri-tip steaks on separate nights. I liked the snorkeling at Black Rock all day long parking at the Sharaton was 20 dollars but worth the safe parking and beach access. The 3 Kamaole beaches are all within walking distance with places to eat near by too. The staff suggested trying the Monkey Pot happy hour and the 5 Palms both where great places. The Monkey Pot in Wailea had a great guitar player and discount drinks and pizza's. Great location and very relaxing. Sucurity are nice and helpful too. It was nice and safe.

We've stayed at half a dozen different 1 bedroom 2 bathroom units at Maui Kamaole over the years and Unit K109 is by far the most comfortably and tastefully furnished unit we've encountered. Owners Susan and Mark Simpson have really paid attention to detail and stocked the unit with every comfort you could possibly need, and are very quick to respond to any questions you send via e-mail. Highly recommended! We'll be back.

This was our 11 th time on maui, and our second time staying in mark and Susan's condos. Many VRBO listings are exaggerated but K103 and K109 are very accurate. They love their home away from home and it shows in every detail. The hawaiian cd's playing while having morning coffee on the lanai, with the birds singing, and the quails visiting, while the sun is shining and warm, and bananas growing right above. Perfect.

We were fortunate enough to have been able to return to our "favorite place on earth" the island of Maui again this year. We have stayed in Susan & Mark's other condo K103 as well but this year tried K109. Both of these condos locations are great and as always everything was exactly what we expected. Love all the extra items left in the condo for our use including beach chairs and our son left his sand toys for someone else to enjoy until we can come back!

This condo and the owners are fabulous! There was not one thing misrepresented! We did not come across one thing the whole 12 days that we wished we could put our hands in the "home away from home."
Mahalo to Susan for all the time and attention she puts into the decor, cleanliness and personal interaction she provides.
And, to think that I was nervous. hahaha
When we return to Maui, we know where we will be staying...this unit rocks!

We loved this condo. Great location near some nice beaches where our kids enjoyed playing in the waves and boogie boarding (the unit has two boogie boards, which was awesome). We liked the laid-back, family atmosphere of the condo complex. Nice pool. And, a convenient location to explore Maui!

We stayed in this condo for little over a week in November 2013. The owners are extremely friendly and provided us with all the useful information about the unit and answered our questions very quickly. The unit is relatively large for a 1 bedroom and very close to the pool. It has everything you could need from guidebooks and beach gear (towels, coolers, chairs, snorkels and fins, body boards) to a full kitchen and washer and dryer. The unit seemed very reasonably priced. The complex was great. It is at the end of S. Kihei Drive which was perfect as it was close enough to walk everywhere but not right in the midst of all the shops. Would definitely stay again.

I stayed in this condo for 9 nights. It was, as advertised, clean and well equipped with no surprises. It's a beautiful condo in a fabulous complex, the photos tell the story. There were beach toys, including boogie boards and cooler, in the closet. The wireless internet made keeping in touch with folks at home easy. I can't comment on the big screen TV with surround sound as I didn't turn it on, there were too many other fun things to do. The owners were helpful in making the arrangements and in responding to follow up questions.
The condo complex was quiet with a mature crowd, middle age mostly with a few seniors and families with young children. Security personnel were present. The grounds were kept clean and gardeners were busy. We barbecued a couple of nights on one of the many bbq's scattered around the property.
The location is perfect with several great beaches, restaurants, supermarkets and surfing close by.
I certainly recommend this condo. When I return it will be my first choice.

I titled this "outstanding" because "excellent" is not a good enough experience rating. This condo was excellent- very well decorated with every amenity you need to feel at home right away. The complex is wonderfully manicured, quiet and comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi is merely steps away. Kam III beach was close enough to walk to, but it was more convenient to drive and use the chairs, coolers, and beachgear from the condo. Kihei road is wonderfully convenient to shops and all types of restaurants. We can't wait to come back again. Mahalo Susan!
