My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at Len’s beautiful condo for our baby-moon. It was clean, comfortable and in such a great location. Len gave us lots of local restaurant/cafe recommendations and all of them were fantastic! Thanks Len!

This is the perfect location to all destinations on Maui. The check in was easiest ever. An immaculate condo, and the communication with the owner was the best!

My wife and I loved our stay at Len and Karen's condo in Kihei. The unit is clean and the kitchen well-supplied with what you need for cooking. Patio looking out on grounds is a great place to eat breakfast and just enjoy the tropical atmosphere. Gym for working out has cardio equipment and weights. Kamaole Beach III is right across the street and an easy walk.
Len's communication was timely and helpful for all aspects of our stay.
Plan to stay here again!

Stayed at this well maintained condo for 12 days. Good view, nice pool, barbeque grill area. Beach located across the street. Would give this unit a 6 star rating (instead of 5 star max rating). Hope to return again sometime!

This is a beautiful, very clean, stylish 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo that is in an excellent location in Kihei. The view is stunning! Lots of love and care went into decorating this condo. The furniture and bed are very comfortable, and as I love to cook, it makes me happy to see a fully equipped kitchen with new or in excellent shape items to cook with! Communicating with the kind, generous and considerate owners is a breeze. Highly recommend !

Kamaole Sands and this condo are very attractive and well-appointed. The balcony was roomy and its view was gorgeous. Beyond the comfy unit itself, I especially appreciated the elevator as well as the pool area. The latter was quite spacious with an abundant supply of lounge chairs and tables arranged in all degrees of shade, from none to total. The hosts were very responsive when I contacted them with a question.

The unit is warm and inviting. It is as advertised, clean and well equipped.
Len was very responsive with our questions.
The location of the unit had some of the best sunsets and moonsets we have ever experienced.
We look forward to staying in Len and Karen’s unit in the future.

My husband and I decided to visit Maui for our honeymoon having heard great things about the island. We looked through many accommodation listings at different resorts, eventually choosing Len and Karen’s condo.
Choosing this condo set us on course for having the most incredible vacation. The condo itself is absolutely wonderful - exceptionally clean, the furnishings are comfortable and updated, the kitchen is fully stocked, the lanai has beautiful views and everything you need for a beach day is provided including chairs, umbrella, coolers, body boards etc. Kamaole Sands is an impeccably maintained resort and the location in South Kihei is ideal.
The Maui wildfires happened just a few short weeks prior to our arrival date and we had major concerns about whether it would be safe and appropriate for us to travel there. Len was kind, patient and understanding while we waited to see how the emergency recovery unfolded. I cannot say enough good things about Len and our communication with him. He put our minds at ease and played a significant role in our vacation being so wonderful, he was always available for our questions and provided a lot of great recommendations.
Overall, our vacation was beyond perfect and one that we will remember forever. I intend to recommend Len (and Karen!), their condo and Maui at every possible opportunity and would give this review 100 stars if I could!
We cannot thank you enough!

We stayed in this unit for 11 days in June 2023. The listing of the property was accurate as described. The unit was clean, comfortable, and the property manager was responsive to all communications.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Len & Karen’s Kamaole Sand’s condo. The condo was beautifully decorated and it had all the various things needed for a vacation away from home. The kitchen was well stocked and there were beach chairs, an umbrella and cooler for beach days. The staff at check-in were so welcoming and the pool attendants were also very kind and helpful. The gym was also updated during our stay which was nice as my partner and I both like yo workout. There were two new treadmills and two new elliptical machines installed, as well as weight machines and cable machines. We highly recommend staying at unit 5 203, you will love it! 🏝️☀️ Andrea & JP

The condo was beautifully updated and convenient to beaches and restaurants. The host was readily accessible. The directional location of our condo gave good breeze circulation by fans so air condition was never needed.
New power cables were being installed to the whole complex which affected power to the condo and closed the pool on the Tuesday Thursday of our stay. This was a minor inconvenience.

Condo was clean. Owners were very easy to communicate with and helpful with any questions or requests for recommendation. The facility was within walking distance of the beach and the lanai had a view too.Chairs, umbrella, cooler and beach towels were at the condo which worked out great for days at the beach. Lots of eateries within walking distance. Overall, great facility and location! We just had the windows open and the cross breeze was enough to keep us cool. We never had to use the AC.

The place was exactly as mentioned. Very clean, well kept and it had everything we needed. Len the owner was in touch from the date we booked until the day we left, and provided us with a lot of good info and suggestions of things to do and places to eat.

This property was listed as advertised. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. If you have never stayed in Kihei, do it. The beaches, shops, and restaurants are nearby. The condo was beautifully decorated with all the things you need for a great vacation. Even beach gear, umbrellas, coolers, chairs and Boggie boards were an added plus. The owners were great to work with and at our fingertips when needed. That made our stay even more relaxing. This place is a diamond.

Len was very attentive and available to answer any questions that we had and spent a lot of time sending us helpful information as far as restaurants and things to do in the area. Very prompt to answer emails and text messages. we had an amazing honeymoon vacation that we will remember forever! Thank you so much Len and Karen! It was a blessing to find you guys and the next time we visit Hawaii we will definitely stay in your condo again🌺🌴

My wife and I stayed at Len and Karen’s place for our honeymoon. We loved our stay. The location was perfect. Walking distance to a couple of beautiful beaches and a close drive to some of the nicest beaches on the island. We loved all of the amenities that this property had such as the pool and gym. Also, having things like a cooler, beach chairs and umbrella provided made a huge difference and was so convenient for our daily beach trips. Len was very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend this property

This was our first time booking through VRBO so I was a little nervous. I was pleasantly surprised to see how simple and easy the process was. The owner of the property communicated regularly and answered questions that I didn’t even know I had! The bed was comfortable, the place was clean, and the decor made it feel homey. There are two bathrooms/showers which was great so I could take up space in one and my husband could use the other.
The pool was easy to access, and the bbq area was very close too. I was also loving how close the beach was and all the extras (cooler/Tommy Bahama chairs) that were provided by the owner.
If we ever return to Maui, we would not look elsewhere because we were so happy with this condo. We would hands down book this same place again.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing and I can’t say enough good things about this place and our host Len.
It was everything and more from what was listed online. Place was clean, had a great view and in a great location. Me and my wife came here for our honeymoon and the unit had everything you need to have a comfortable stay. We used the beach chairs and umbrella provided everyday in the morning and utilized the pool facilities after that. The walk to the beach is less than 5 minutes and great for a snorkel and just to hang out.
I would highly recommend staying here and would recommend this to all our friends and family. We will definitely be back!

Len’s place was well stocked and even had bigger Tommy Bahama chairs that are so great for older folks! My parents loved sitting on the deck and soaking up all the action and beautiful views. Len was great to communicate with and gave wonderful recommendations on the island. Cheers to a great vacation.

This condo complex seems very well run, and has a great location. Len's condo is very nice and has a new feeling to it. Furniture was very comfortable and we especially loved all the beach toys he provided, pretty much anything you could want. We would love to stay here again!

This was a perfect away from home spot. Len, the owner of the condo, was wonderful. He let us know about delicious spots to eat, beautiful local beaches, and things to do on the island. He was very helpful with on the spot questions and very quick to respond. The check in and check out process was super easy. The home is cute, quaint and has fun amenities including the pool, tennis courts and ping pong! There was a gym as well. The place has everything needed to cook meals, for times we wanted to save a little money from eating out. It’s only about 40 minutes from Lahaina and 30 from Paia, so overall a good central location. We also did road to Hana and it wasn’t too far from the start. A wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend to a friend, and visit again! Mahalo Len and Karen.

My husband and I have been to Maui 4 times, 3 of which we’ve stayed in Kamaole Sands. Len’s unit is our favorite! Every little detail has been thought out from the boogie boards to the cooler to the beach chairs and umbrella to the sweet little arrival treat. Thank you Len! A note on the AC units - it was up to 90 degrees during our stay and we were comfortable in the unit (and I hate being hot so that says a lot). They do shut off after two hours and a couple times we got up at night to reset it but some nights the fans were enough that we didn’t even wake up. It really wasn’t a big deal. We also loved having the box fan to use where ever we needed it. The bed was comfortable, we slept great! Len was even able to accommodate a late check out when our flight departure time got pushed back. Mahalo! We’ll be back!

Terrific condo with everything you need for a nice stay in Kihei. We made good use of the umbrella/beach chairs/boogie boards. So nice drinking coffee on the lanai in the morning and enjoying the view of the Kameole Sands grounds and the ocean. Venus & Mars were both visible during our stay in the evening.

We had a wonderful stay at Kamaole Sands in Unit 5-203. Len & Karen are thoughtful hosts and strive to ensure your stay is smooth and complete in every way. We appreciated the Covid Travel guidance as we navigated the current requirements for travel from the Mainland to Maui. We also appreciated the list of restaurant recommendations, which were reliably good finds.
The condo was in terrific condition, with quite stylish and updated features present. The kitchen was well stocked with everything in good working order. The bath towels were very nice, as were the beach towels, and all the beach accessories. We especially appreciated the large Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella which we used numerous times for our beach days. The beach is conveniently located just across the street. We have stayed at Kamaole Sands on three separate occasions now, and this was the nicest unit we have stayed in so far. We highly recommend it on all levels for others looking for good quality, high value accommodations.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location was great, near the beach and close to many restaurants. The owner was incredibly responsive and gave many recommendations. Everything you could need was provided, beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella and I especially loved the natural seventh generation laundry detergent, nice to see more places stocking natural, clean products. They even left a gift and card on the counter upon arrival. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was as described. It is very hot in Kihei and the two aftermarket air conditioners are VERY loud and have a 2 hour timer on them.
When it was very hot at night I couldn't have the bedroom air on because it sounded like a freight train. The windows open to the public walkway and parking lot and it was too loud to leave them open. The lanai air conditioner blower hot air onto the lanai so you can't have that one on when you want to sit on the lanai or it feels like a blast furnace.
The bed was very comfortable. Having two bathrooms is nice.

Very clean and newly remodeled. Great communication and location is perfect, right across from beach

Aloha, We had an amazing time at Kamaole Sands Building 5. Karen and Len have an gorgeous place and it was beyond our dreams. The welcome gift of coffee and chocolate was so generous and thoughtful. We visited several local beaches and restaurants that Karen and Len had on the recommendation list. Our personal favorite breakfast place, by far, is Kihei Cafe. The macademia nut french toast is the best I have ever had. Happy hour at Tommy Bahama's and dinner at Pita Paradise were also very good and highly recommended. The unit was very clean and inviting. The decorations were fabulous and felt like a home to us. Karen and Len had beach chairs and coolers for our use and that was so kind, so we did not have the bring our own and purchase while we were on the Island. We hope to return in the very near future. Mahalo Len and Karen.

We lucked out on finding this condo! Len and Karen were fabulous remote hosts and gave us all the information we needed and recommendations we took advantage of. You can read all the other reviews about the great location near the best beach, or the renovated condo, or the excellent price, but I loved having what we would not have had at a hotel. There's a closet full of items such as snorkeling gear, chairs, coolers, a balcony with a view, beach towels, washer dryer, and a full kitchen with everything! Not to mention the soft sheets, snacks provided by Len and Karen, and the comfort of home on a vacation. We hope to come back to not only Maui, but this exact condo soon!

We have stayed at Kamaole Sands in the past but this unit exceeded our expectations. Upon our arrival, we were delighted to see a welcome gift of coffee, chocolates and macadamia nuts. The condo is tastefully done with a remodeled kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and all tile floors. (We don't like carpet in a beach environment). The lanai has a tranquil view of the landscaping and an ocean view, and we enjoyed sitting outside every morning hearing the birds. A wonderful Maui cross breeze would cool off the condo so we really didn't even have to use the A/C, but it was nice to have it if needed. Len was very easy to work with and gave us some great recommendations on restaurants and beaches to see. The beaches on this part of the island are so beautiful, especially at sunset! We were happy to see chairs, and umbrella and two ice chests in the lanai closet for us to use. We are now happy to say this is our unit for future stays in Maui. You can't go wrong with this Maui gem. Thank you to Len and Karen for a wonderful, relaxing stay in paradise!

we have been coming to kam sands twice a year from Alaska for about 12 yrs and we found this unit on VRBO and we were staying in another unit last year and saw this place ( we love bldg 5) and Len was nice enough to contact the people in it so we could take a look, so we did and booked it for our fall trip
when we walked in we felt at home, the nice touches from nice linens and colorful sheets rather than sterile white, very nice comfy sofa, the decor, all felt so homey and the place was the cleanest we ever stayed in ( they have great housekeepers) i walk barefoot and this was the first unit we have stayed in where my feet werent filthy!!!!
great afternoon sun on the lanai, would have liked a foldable chaise lounge to lay in the sun while on lanai but the two chairs worked fine
we will defintly book again for this lovely place!!!!!!!!

We were very happy with our stay at Kamaole Sands. This condo has been remodeled top to bottom and has great beach decor. The location was great, close enough to walk to beaches and places to eat. Only negatives I can think of would be the size of the pool. This is a fairly large complex and I thought for the size the pool should have been larger. It was crowded most days. If you like quiet pool time this isn't the pool for you. That being said I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a nice condo at a reasonable price.
October 2017
Stayed at this unit several times and plan to come back again. It is very well maintained. The kitchen is stocked with the little things that really make a difference. A quiet patio with a great view is very enjoyable for breakfast and relaxing in the afternoon. Owners are very responsive and truly want to make this a place for a great vacation stay.

We just got back from spending two weeks in this condo in Maui. We can see why previous travelers rated it so highly! It was perfect for my husband and me as it was close to gorgeous beaches (right across the street from Kam III) which enabled us to swim and snorkel almost every day (the snorkel equipment and boogie boards were provided as well as quality beach towels). The unit was tastefully furnished and very clean. On the occasions when we dined in, all the kitchenware was in good shape and plentiful. The king size bed was comfy and we enjoyed the convenience of having two bathrooms...one with a shower and the other with a tub. Air conditioners worked fine when needed as did the washer and dryer. Watched TV a few nights...Netflix came in handy. It was quiet and the elevator was just a short distance away. Dining and entertainment in South Kihei is plentiful! Len and Karen were kind to offer dining suggestions (with reviews) by text, and we took advantage of several of these. They were gracious hosts and were just a phonecall away...always responded quickly. Would not hesitate to stay again. Mahalo!

WOW! We had a fantastic vacation in Maui, thanks in a big part to this beautiful condo in Kamaole Sands. The furnishings and attention to detail really sets this unit apart, and shows that the owners care about making your stay comfortable and convenient. Coffee on the lanai while enjoying the amazing view was very peaceful.
If you time your flight right, you can stop at the Costco near the airport on the way to the condo and stock up on food at reasonable prices. Because this unit is so nice and comfortable, you'll want to stick around and make meals at your home away from home. If you don't feel like cooking in the beautiful kitchen, take advantage of the many spices in the cabinet, and use the gas grills. If you just don't want to cook, there are plenty of great places to shop and eat at just steps from this condo including the Cinnamon Roll place, the Kihei Cafe, and the Paia Fish Market.
The grounds at Kamaole Sands are beautiful, well maintained, and have plenty of amenities for all. The pool looked nice, but with the beach just across the street, we never bothered with the pool and went straight for the beach. The storage closet on the lanai has everything you need for the beach including chairs, mat, fins, masks, snorkels, defogger, etc. There are plenty of beach towels in the closet, and the stacked washer/dryer comes in handy for those sweaty and sandy clothes and towels.
It was nice to walk across to the beach and snorkel with many fish and turtles, no need to drive anywhere to enjoy the water. The location of the condo was perfectly situated to appreciate the beaches and nature preserve in Kihei and the beaches and outlets in Wailea and Makena. Be sure the make the drive up to Lahaina to visit the Banyan Tree.
If you do feel like a little drive, there's an amazing bakery/cafe called Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop in Olowalu - about half way between Kihei and Lahaina. Leoda's has the BEST chicken & waffles that I've ever had, but don't fill up too much on the yummy breakfast or sandwiches... you have to save room for the incredible banana cream pie!
We fell in love with Maui, and will definitely stay in this condo on our next visit... which we hope isn't too far away. Mahalo!
August 2017
This condo was perfect for our short trip to Maui. It had everything we needed (well equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, wifi, etc) and was clean and comfy as well. We loved sitting out on the lanai in the mornings then coming back to relax by the pool in the afternoon.
The condo's location made things very easy. It's a short drive from the airport (~30min) and was easy to locate. The condo is across the road from the beach and just down the road from some great local restaurants and shops. The condo is also located such that all other areas of the island are a short drive away. We were able to visit a different part of the island every day and always had plenty of time to explore once we arrived.
Len and Karen were wonderful and were always available to help us with anything we needed. They seem to know the island very well and offered many recommendations for restaurants, shops, beaches, rental stores, hikes, and activities.
We definitely recommend staying here if you're planning a trip to Maui

We just stayed in this unit for one week for our first anniversary. Highly recommend! It was well decorated, well stocked, clean, and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, and the complex is in a very good location. We loved the ocean view and listening to the birds from the lanai as we had our morning coffee. We can't wait to come back soon!

We loved our stay at Kamaole Sands! The unit has everything you need and is beautifully decorated and updated. We stayed for 5 nights during our wedding on Maui. All of our family members stayed at Kamaole Sands. The grounds are lovely. If you're looking for a place to be able to host BBQ's with family and friends, this is a great option. We grilled and hung out each evening at the excellent BBQ's down by the pool. The beach is the perfect size and was great for meeting up with family and friends who also stayed at the complex. Len was an attentive host. When the coffee pot shorted out on our first day, he had a brand new one delivered by the next morning! Thanks for the wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

If you are looking to spend a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting, Len and Karen's unit is the way to go! This remodeled condo feels so spacious and welcoming. The furniture is very nice and comfortable. We loved the beach decor! The condo was spotless when we arrived. And what a fantastic view! The lanai overlooks the beautiful surrounding gardens and the pool, plus you have a view of the ocean and a peek-a-boo view of the mountains. Having breakfast on the lanai every morning was our favourite time of the day. And watching the sunset was a magical moment. The condo is appointed with everything you need. Having all the beach gears (chairs, umbrella, towels, etc.) was a real plus. This place really felt like a home away from home and we were so sad when we had to leave! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!

My wife and I stayed 6/10/17 - 6/20/17 at Len/Karen's condo. This was our third trip to the island. We were there celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The owners were very responsive and cared that we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. The condo is in great shape and has a beautiful view of the grounds (which were very nice) and the ocean which is all of a 1/4 mile'ish away. The fact it is on 2nd floor and not near any major walkways means it is quiet. Very nice pool.
If staying there I'd recommend eating at 808 Deli, Maui Gelato or Maui Bread Company (Dolphin plaza) and Mama's Fish house if you can. Take a drive to Paia to the local grocer, great healthy food and local coffees. Maui Brewing Company which is close for some craft brews.
We look forward to staying there again. Highly recommend. Mahalo!

We recently stayed in the Condo in Kamole Sands owned by Len and Karen Stromfeld.....AWESOME! The condo was PERFECT. It was clean, centrally located to many beaches, restaurants and shopping! The location within the complex is perfect.....the quiet back side right next to the pool and other recereation areas. The condo also offers everything you may need in the way of Kitchen (stuff) and outdoor activities......chairs, boogie boards, snorkling equipment, etc. Len was very responsive throughout the rental process and very accomodating! We will definitley use their condo again in the future!!!

We very recently stayed in Len and Karen's unit, and loved it. We have stayed in few units in the Kamole Sands complex and found theirs to be the best, and the best value. This unit was fully stocked with kitchen items and beach amenities, coolers, chairs and toys. We look forward to planning our next trip and hopefully staying in this unit again. Len responded very quickly to our email inquiries for renting the unit, and any questions we had. He even gave us great suggestions for places to eat. Mahalo Len and Karen for providing us a beautiful place to relax in what's becoming our second home.

My husband and I love to travel, however with his work schedule, it leaves us very little time to do so. We found this little gem and are so very happy with our experience with the owners. They answer emails virtually immediately, which is always a huge plus! This condo is decorated so beautifully and has the most incredible view! When we head back to Maui, we are hopeful that their condo will be available. So clean. So comfortable.

For our 30th wedding anniversary we wanted to go somewhere we haven't been. We selected Len and Karen's condo as the photos on VRBO were beautiful! After speaking to Len, we booked our trip and thoroughly enjoyed our time in their remodeled condo! Len was extremely friendly and made the booking extremely easy. When we walked into the unit, we found it extremely clean and there was a lovely view from the lanai of the grass and pool area. The kitchen was extremely attractive with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a variety of food goodies awaiting for us (that was so sweet and unexpected for our anniversary!). The kitchen also had an abundance of plates, glasses, knives and everything we needed when we cooked. The living room has a cozy couch and a large flat screen TV. We loved many evenings watching TV and having the overhead fan running (most night we didn't need A/C). The bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed, a separate air conditioning unit and new furniture. The grounds at Kamaole Sands lush and very well maintained. There is a separate air conditioned gym on the property and we just loved how quiet building 5 was at night! We walked to Kamaole Beach III across the street and also found some great restaurants in Wailea, which was a three minute drive. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary so special! We hope to visit your condo on a future vacation!

Location, location this unit was fully equipped with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. We rented a jeep and went to a new beach everyday. The condo is walking distance to town. The unit was very clean, and updated. Everything you needed from beach chairs to coolers. The owner even had a welcome gift, with some coffee, nuts and a few chocolates - nice touch! I would recommend this unit. We were in Maui for a wedding, our unit had the nicest finishings of them all. The property itself was lovely, the gym could use some work. Building 5 is a great choice, close to the pool. Len was very quick to respond to emails regarding this unit. Wonderful Vacation

We had a fabulous time staying at Kamaole Sands. Len was very quick to respond and pleasant to deal with. The location was perfect to access to beaches and nearby restaurants. The condo was extremely comfortable, spacious, clean and had everything one needs for a wonderful home away from home. Sunset views at the beach across the street were fantastic. Definitely recommend this property and will return.

WOW LEN AND KAREN,
OUR 4 WEEK STAY WAS WONDERFUL!! THIS UNIT OFFERS ALL THE AMENITIES FOR A HOME AWAY FROM HOME. CLEAN AND PLEASANTLY DECORATED WITH A COMFORTABLE KING BED. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS UNIT TO ANYONE . THE BEACHES, RESTAURANTS, ACTIVITIES,SHOPS ARE JUST A SHORT WALK AWAY. THE NEW OWNERS WERE A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH EVEN THOUGH I RENTED IT THROUGH THE OLD OWNER.

I've now stayed in 2 units at Kamaole Sands. This was by far the better of the 2. It is clean, simply, and comfortably furnished and has everything one might need for cooking and for pool and beach use. It's location is good for several types of restaurant and dining out experiences, as well as the multitude of available activities. The owners do all they can, and then some, to make sure their guests are comfortable and satisfied. I'm hoping their condo will be available the next time I get the opportunity to return to beautiful Maui! You two are very sweet, to share with others, your Hawaiian retreat! :~)
