We stayed in 2-301 for 2 weeks as part of a family vacation. We had an amazing time and enjoyed every minute of it. Our rental unit was fantastic, very clean, functional, everything worked great, and the view was excellent. Beds were very comfortable, the extra “toys” in the lanai storage were greatly appreciated especially with having young kids on the trip! All in all, we had the time of our lives and this unit helped greatly in making that possible!

This unit was perfect for what our family needed on our 2 week trip to Maui! The unit is stocked with everything you need including kids beach toys, cooler bags, chairs, Tupperware containers for packing lunches, and SO many hooks around the unit which made drying towels and bathing suits a breeze.The view from the balcony is great even though its only a peek-a-boo ocean view, and is a very short walk to the pool without being so close that the noise from the pool was bothersome. The walk to Kam 3 beach is about 8 minutes (with slow kids) and there is a crosswalk right at the entrance to the complex. The unit is located close-ish to restaurants including ice cream and shaved ice, though with kids aged 4 and 6 it was too far to walk with them but that wasn't a problem for us as we had rented a vehicle.The only complaint we had was the location of the parking stall for this unit, its the last one on the end of the row right next to a garbage bin and so it was a bit tight to get in and out of, maybe something to keep in mind if you plan to rent a large vehicle (like a mini-van) it was no more than a minor inconvenience for us as we had a smaller vehicle.Overall we were so pleased with our stay and would absolutely want to stay in this exact unit again if we come back to Maui!

Great communications with the rental company. Easy instructions. Very clean and updated property. Probably one of the nicest units we have stayed at in Kamaole Sands and we have stayed here numerous times. Nice kitchen and appliances, comfortable beds. Great view off the balcony. Nice pool. Extremely close to the beach. Would be happy to return back to this property anytime! Highly recommend!

This is the second time we've stayed at Kamaole Sands and thoroughly enjoyed the property and location.
The unit is well stocked with kitchen items, cooler bags, ziplock bags, spices etc. Beach goers have chairs to choose from (we used the bigger upright ones that were quite hard to open and close, perhaps from sand or salt in the moving parts?), noodles, 1 adult life vest, couple pairs of flippers and at least one really good snorkel set, lots of great beach towels and big beach umbrellas.
I would recommend that the room with twins beds be specifically advertised for kids only though since the beds squeak very loudly with each move you make during the night.
We couldn't figure out how to pull out the sofa bed but it looked like it had a good inflatable mattress. We tried inflating the other mattress for the floor but the air pump wasn't functioning properly so it never blew up enough to use as a bed.
Check in was easy even with our late arrival, staff are wonderful and maintenance works hard to keep the place beautiful.
We loved our stay - thank you!

Overall this condo was very comfortable and clean w a well equipped kitchen and relatively new appliances, and w AC in each room now. Several updates are necessary: replace twin mattresses, throw rugs and a chair in living rm needs new cushions. Kamaole Sands is a beautiful, well manicured property located across the street from great beaches and a short walk or ride to restaurants and shops. The staff was very responsive and friendly. We are 4 adults and loved the location! We would recommend this condo and definitely the community!

Everything was as stated for our stay at 2-301 Kamaole Sands in Kihei. The condo was comfortable and an easy place to come home to in the evening. BBQ's were easy to use and kitchen was well-stocked. Close proximity to the Kamaole beaches and a short walk to coffee, cinnamon buns, shaved ice, restaurants and local shops. Beach towels and 2 beach chair were available - would be nice to have 4 beach chairs. Overall a great trip and would recommend staying here.

The condo itself is a good size and clean (except for the ants). The beds are comfortable, there are plenty of fans, and the a/c in the living room cools the place down nicely.
The check-in process took forever - wish we could just use the code to get in the rental and have the parking pass inside without having to go jump through extra hoops. Someone was parked in our spot, so had to go back to the desk and report it, then wait for them to leave. We were allowed to park in visitor parking until they vacated the spot.
Like other reviewers have stated, there are ants in the kitchen. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case, but ants were all over the counter when we were there - going to and from the ant traps. We kept our food in sealed containers in cabinets above the fridge, but I was still worried. We emptied the trash each day and wiped down the counters after prepping food. But it was gross to see ants there all the time.
We had trouble with the door locking behind us. It was difficult to get a hold of the owner - had to route through a management company. Someone did finally answer and help us out.
The toilet paper and paper towels are thin and cheap. Only 3 dishwasher tabs and laundry tabs. We bring our own anyway, but we've stayed in a lot of VRBO rentals over the years and this place is by far the the stingiest with amenities. No leftover condiments in the fridge, very little in the way of extras in a cabinet - be prepared to buy everything you need.
As far as beach equipment goes - bring a cooler, a beach bag, and plan to rent snorkeling equipment. They have 1 kids set and 1 adult set that still didn't fit our teen. One umbrella was broken, but the 2nd one worked. The 4 beach chairs were nice though.
All that to say, it is an excellent location. Quick walk to the beach, plenty of places to eat, plenty of other beaches a short drive away. We loved Maui, but would have liked an ant-free rental with a few more "comforts" that we have gotten used to from previous VRBO stays, and not having to deal with a check-in desk. And we prefer being able to contact the owner directly, not a management company.

Great place for families. The property was clean and spacious. The beds aren’t comfortable for my own standards but that’s to be expected when sleeping elsewhere. There were extra beach towels/ sand toys/boogie boards and Umbrellas for use. The grounds were very beautiful and serene. The pool was warm especially for an evening swim.
The beach was just across the street. There was also plenty of restaurants/ convince stores/ shops and plenty of shave ice places just a short walk away.

Great setup for our family of four: loved the two bathrooms and the laundry in the the unit. Very well stocked kitchen with dishwasher which helped us cook the whole week we were there. Love that the beach is just a five minute walk away too! There's two umbrellas, boogie boards, and snorkel kits which saved us from having to rent everything. It was 90F+ the week we were there and the fans were super helpful in circulating the a/c from the living room. Only suggestion we'd have is maybe a collapsible drying rack for swimsuits and beach towels. Thank you for a great stay!

Postponed family vacation that turned into my daughters “Family Moon”. Enjoyed the clean comfortable accommodations. Easy walk to the beach & close by food/beverages. Morning snorkeling before breakfasts & off site adventures. Lavender Farm, Maui Wine, Haleakala Sunset, Lahaina & Alchemy Maui, Iao Valley, Hana, and of course Maui Brewing we’re all things we enjoyed. Would definitely stay at Kamaole Sands again!!!

We stayed here for 4 nights with our 3 teens. The location was a short drive/longish walk into town with great restaurants and shops. Across the street from one of many beaches. The complex had a nice pool, modest workout room, ping pong, tennis. We were well entertained and really enjoyed the outdoor space off of our unit. It was well equipped with beach towels, chairs and umbrellas for the beach. I liked having a dedicated parking spot. My only negative were the small bugs that appeared as our stay went on. I knew this was a possibility based on previous reviews so we were very diligent about keeping food off the counters and the counters clean. But not a big deal at all. I would certainly stay here again!
March 2022
We really loved staying in this property. It had a wonderful location, pleasant and helpful staff, and was in great shape. One downside is that there was an ant infestation. There were a lot of ant traps in the unit, but they didn't seem to make a difference. We were unable to use the kitchen as a result of the infestation, but this was a pretty minor drawback since there was much deliciousness in nearby restaurants.

We’ve been renting units in Kamaole Sands for the past 5 years and have tried a new one everytime. We are two adults and two young children who travel extensively.
This condo was okay…bathrooms are beautifully renovated and the entire space is large and nicely decorated.
It’s incredibly noisy though. It looks out on to the pool and the windows aren’t great at blocking out noise. It was so loud it was impossible for us to get to sleep until quiet hours were enforced on the property each night. There was also a bug problem…the management team was amazingly quick to respond and help solve the ant issue but it persisted and was there when we arrived. We know bugs are part of Hawaii but I’ve never had this level of issue in any other property we’ve stayed in. The ants have been everywhere for our entire stay. I also found a cockroach on our first night.
The kitchen utensils need upgrading as does the bedding. The pull out couch is super uncomfortable.
We honestly still had a great stay as the overall property is amazing and who can stay unhappy in Hawaii, but just some things to be mindful of.

Great location in Kihei. Very short drive to most places in Kihei to buy necessities. There were some ants, but I am guessing that is to be expected in a tropical location. Having a washer/dryer in unit is a plus. Right across from the beach. Probably would recommend this unit for a family of 4 as the guest bedroom the beds are a little on the smaller side, but they will be perfect for kids. If you are staying with 4 adults, then consider using the pull out bed from the sofa instead.

This was a fabulous place to stay for easy access to Kihei and Wailea. A specific parking spot made coming and going simple. Perfect for four people. Twin beds felt lumpy and squeaked a lot, but not terrible. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you aren't too particular about mattress quality as everything else was great.

We live on the island and have done several staycations here, especially in the last two years. This condo was well equipped and spacious and in a great location to the pool and the beach. It was much quieter at night then many places which was also good. Only complaint is that the dishwasher did not work and it looked like it had not been working (gunk and soap in the bottom of dishwasher) when we arrived.

Our location was convenient, the unit was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. Proximity to the beach was very satisfying! There was only 1 thing that was a little problematic, the window covering at the sliding door to the lanai/patio was broken so we had to climb behind that to enter and exit the unit. Something that could very easily be fixed - we would absolutely stay there again!

We had a great time in Maui and our stay at Kamaole Sands #2-301 was wonderful. The grounds were beautiful and very well taken care of. The condo was equipped with everything we needed to make our week enjoyable. The only thing that wasn't pleasant was with the sofa bed in the Livingroom - it was a blow up that leak and the replacement they had for it was the camping type blow up mattress and it was more uncomfortable. The location in Kihei was perfect with lots of shops, restaurants and grocery stores close by. You also had your own designated parking spot which made it nice when you came in late at night after watching the sunset at Haleakala and not searching for a place to park. The beach is right across the street and the condo has beach chairs and boogie boards for you to use. Boogie boards are showing its ware, but they still worked. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

We had a great time in this Kihei condo. The condo was clean and just as described in the listing. The grounds are gorgeous and the kids had a fantastic time in the pool. We also loved that the complex quieted down after 10pm. We loved the location -right across from our favorite beaches. We look forward to visiting again.

We've stayed in many different condos at Kamaole Sands and this is one of the best - large kitchen with modern appliances, and nicely updated. Also, we much prefer this layout to the 2 bedroom lofts.

Our family's been to Hawaii about 20 times and this is the nicest place we have ever stayed. Nicely updated, very clean, property managers super accommodating and easy to work with. Never had to use the air conditioning as we just opened the windows and let the trades cool things off. See Crystal G from Saskatchewan's review. She nailed it (except they replaced the chairs on the lanai while we were there and all four are immaculate now).

Our family of 6 stayed here in February. It’s a nice, bright, clean condo with a great cross-breeze. Kitchen is well-supplied. Our kids even said the sofa sleeper was comfy. The unit is stocked with beach supplies, it had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, and the location is hard to beat - just walk across the lighted crosswalk to Kam III.
Cons- Though it is very nice, the pool area can get crowded, and the noise from the adult hot tub at night can be a little much (it closes at 10, but we tend to go to bed early since we’re on mainland time). If you’re a night owl, it likely won’t bother you.

We stayed December 21/19 to Jan.3/2020. The condo was clean and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed including a Brita water jug which was handy to refill our water bottles! The ice machine in the freezer took approximately a day to get going then we had plenty of ice cubes(we didn’t need to buy bagged ice). There are some condiments, coffee filters(uses cone style #4), dish soap, dishwasher soap, and garbage bags in the kitchen. You do need to bring your own laundry soap.All the appliances and air conditioner worked well in the condo. The bed in the master suite was very comfortable and the kids had great sleeps in the two twin beds(so nice they each had their own bed) in the second bedroom. There are plenty of towels and beach towels in the condo. The condo was exactly as described and the pictures are accurate. The furniture is starting to show some wear but not too bad at all. The patio furniture has one chair that is starting to tear otherwise in good shape. The beach chairs and umbrellas are older but work fine. The location of the condo on the condo property is excellent. It’s close to the pool,BBQ areas, and designated parking spot (especially if you take the stairwell). Plus you get a beautiful view of the gardens and a decent view of the ocean from the Lana’i (which was our favorite spot to eat and relax). It’s a quick 3 minute walk to Kamole beach 3. Upon arrival we noticed the key to the storage area on the lanai was missing, we called the rental company and they came that same morning and opened it up for us then later that afternoon they brought us a key for it! So prompt and easy to deal with. We had a great stay here and world definitely recommend it!

I have nothing negative to say about this unit. Thank you to the owners for keeping such a well maintained unit. It made our vacation that much more enjoyable.

They unit and the overall grounds were in a great location. The unit and the pool are is showing its age. Only an in wall air-conditioner for a two bedroom unit. 4-5 fans were supplied, but noisy and did not cool the unit. Also Air conditioner was noisy and made the balcony too hot to sit on.
