Positives - Comfortable bed, clean, great view. Write up was accurate and the office staff was very friendly. Negative - Loud street noise. Once we plugged in the fan from the closet that helped to provide white noise. There were no hand towels in the bathroom and only 1 tea towel. The outside furniture had black mold growing on the bottom of the chair straps. I wonder if there was black mold in the air conditioner as I felt ill the 2 nights it was turned on. It had 4 beach chairs, cooler, snorkel fins, 1 umbrella and boogie boards. We purchased/donated a 2nd beach umbrella.Recommend - If possible someone from maintenance could turn on their air conditioner before arrival that would be helpful. Our first night was quite hot. Also, the baseboards needed a thorough scrubbing. Our favourite restaurant was Coconuts and loved the 30 min walk to Starbucks each morning (60 min round trip). We enjoyed meals at Freds' Taco and Fat Daddy's Smoke House. The beach across the street was fantastic and we loved watching the sun set from the grassy area. Do your big shop and gas up at Costco and smaller shops at Times (more reasonable than Safeway and Foodland). Maui Brewing has good beer (Coconut Hiwa) but don't eat there. We found it was sunnier at the Condo than at Makenna Beach.

Noise! Noise! Noise! Property is near to the ongoing traffic street, while day and night you can hear the vehicle noises clearly, there is not enough sound protection in property. If you decide to sit outside, you will hear noise. On top of that the AC that is fitted in property make loud noises too.

Unit needs work. Towels are gross (white and stained/discolored), silverware in kitchen is horrible, old, knives don’t cut, no large spoons; no dishcloths; only 1 tea towel for drying; outside carpet rolls up, outdoor table, chairs need replacing; indoor carpet all stained; cleaning questionable ...baseboards dirty, fan blades black on ends, floors not washed, feet get black. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIT TO ANYONE TO STAY AT

I've stayed in 3 different units at Hale Kamaole. This is a great location being across from Kamaole III beach. Was a bit unsure about being on the ground floor but ended up liking it - super easy access. 177 is clean and appears to have been updated since much of what others complained about I did not see. Would definitely stay in 177 again.

We had a downstairs unit and it was perfect for our family of 4. It was stocked with everything we needed. We had a view of the sunset each night and the BBQ and pool in the middle of the condos were a great place to meet up with all of our family every night. On the busline and across the street from a good beach. Easy walking to some stores and restaurants.

We recently stayed in Unit 177. This is the lower front Unit in the complex and has an easy access to Kamaole Beach III and a superb view of the Maui sunsets. The Unit is basic but was very adequate for our needs. My wife has mobility issues and was very appreciative of the level access and short distance to park and beach. The only real negative is the significant road noise that comes with a front Unit

The interior photos are accurate. The place is clean and comfortable and the ocean views are great. The description leaves out the fact that the bedroom window is 10 feet from Kihei Road, which is well traveled and therefore noisy. Things like kitchen and bath fixtures, cookware and dishes are way overdue for an upgrade. Overall not a bad place, but pushing the boundary of not being worth the cost.

It’s a great place to people watch. Traffic is loud on this side. The cost was high I thought per night. We did take advantage of the wake board. The beach chairs were rusted we couldn’t use them.

The sheets didn’t fit the bed so every morning you woke up on the mattress pad. The towels need to be replaced. The silverware looked like it came from a thrift store. The beach chairs all need to be replaced

Cozy unit, with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunsets. Comfortable king bed and air conditioner works well in bedroom. The fans were a great touch for ambiance and circulating that amazing tropical breeze. Overall more positives than negatives. However, this unit really needs new comfortable beach chairs, and a bathroom Reno. The location is perfect and the property is very well maintained and pretty. Pool areas are great. The cleaners needed to pay a little more attention to cleaning .. the elements on top of stove were left dirty with spillage from previous guests. Would have been better to have some Lysol and windex available so we could use as needed. This unit is busy with traffic as we are next to the road and is an end unit, but you get used to it and the view makes up for it. Can’t wait to come back and we would definitely stay at Hale kamaole again.

Unit 177 is an end unit therefore it has a beautiful big window which makes the unit so light and lovely. During the day I kept all the blinds closed and the small air conditioner in the bedroom was able to keep the whole unit relatively cool with limited entering and exiting. The unit had all the basic appliances, dishes etc. The furniture was comfortable. I would return and stay in this unit.

This was our fourth stay at Hale Kamaole. Upon arrival we found the floors had not been cleaned from previous renters. The next day when we went to cook we found dirty frying pans with food stuck on them. The bathroom sink was plugged and the shower head leaked. I reported this to the management company who took care of the bathroom issues. Almost everything in the lanai closet is broken. While I understand that those are perks, I do expect what is provided to be functional. Nobody takes the time to read the guest book because previous guests mentioned the shower issue as well as the garbage in the lanai closet. Our compensation from the owners was a box of chocolates and a bag of coffee worth $20 total. These items were placed in the condo without us there and without our permission to enter the condo. There is a great view from the lanai. We would never stay in this unit again.

The property is at a great location, you can walk to beaches etc and the view is great. The bedroom was difficult to sleep in because the shades didn't cover the light at all and the sheets didn't fit the bed. Other than that the place was fine for us.

We had another excellent trip to Maui staying at this complex. This is a convenient location is Kihei, close to sandy beaches and services. The amenities available in the complex are good. The accommodations in the unit itself are comfortable. The beach gear in this unit is well used but available. We would stay here again.

Walk across street, across park, to beach (5min).
Patio Closet has beach stuff but needs to be cleaned out. (Key on or next to Refrigerator)
Pool is good but tile bottom is slippery.
Overall very wonderful location, office had a grocery store card (store one gave good discounts/they offer senior/veteran discounts)
Wish they provided enough trash bags to make it the time of stay.
Overall very awesome location, everything within 10 miles. Recommend bringing a Costco card if ya got one. (It’s by the Airport)

We loved staying here. The unit is on a corner so lots of light and only a short way to a lovely park and beach. Very comfortable and well stocked. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's right next to the main road (it's on the other side of the hedge in the photo) and the traffic noise was wearing after a few days. Otherwise this was perfect...we could see whales spouting and breaching right from our lanai! Wow.

This unit was very nice and clean. It has a wonderful view of the beach. There is only one air conditioner in the bedroom and it doesn’t effectively cool the unit. It was in the 90’s while we were there and a few nights were warmer in the unit than I’d like. Other than that it was a great experience.

Overall we enjoyed our stay in this condo. The activity closet off of the lanai was well stocked with everything we needed for our beach time. The furniture in the living room and bedroom was in good repair. The kitchen, however, was a disappointment. There were dirty pans, heavily scratched teflon pans (a health hazard), and no dish soap or sponges to clean them (which might be why they were left dirty?). There was not enough plastic storage containers either. Lastly, the toilet smelled like urine when we got there and we had to buy bleach to clean it.

This was our first stay in Unit 177, however we have stayed in other units at Hale Kamaole before. The view from the lanai is unbeatable! It's in the shade in the mornings, which makes for a very relaxing start to your day. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside storage closet has lots of beach gear and toys, as well! The site manager Scott was very easy to work with and quick to respond. Bed is brand new and very comfortable. The road noise is slight, but we hardly noticed it at all. My wife and I could not have chosen a better place to stay on our vacation. We definitely recommend this unit to all who are considering it!

Had to book short business trip and found this 1 bedroom condo. Nice folks in the office, easy check in & check out. The unit was clean and had everything I needed. Everything worked and parking was available right outside the door. Beautiful view from the lanai and walking distance to shopping & restaurants. The beach is right across the street and the sunsets were wonderful including residents blowing a farewell chorus with conch shells. I'd go back for sure.
