The Diercks are excellent hosts. The condo was well stocked with everything needed to enjoy the beach, pool or just stay in and cook a family meal. The location was ideal for beach access and close to other activities.

This was our fourth stay at Kamaole Sands. Great property and location. This unit met our needs but the unit is in desperate need of a deep cleaning and some renovations.

Condo was great. Owners were easy to work with and Berenice, housekeeper, was very helpful with a few minor issues. Outside grills were very clean when used. Beaches walking distance from condo.

We enjoyed our visit. The location was great; lots of restaurants and shops plus beautiful beaches all within walking distance. We enjoyed the pool and gym area in addition to the beautifully maintained grounds. The condo could use a few small updates to spiff it up, but it was a nice functional space that worked well for our family. Having the master up in the loft, separated from the other bedroom provided a nice private feel. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning watching the sun come up.

We loved this location. It made going to the beach so easy to just walk across the street. The pool was very family friendly and overall we really enjoyed our stay. Just a note that there is no A/C in the master bedroom area, extra fans were provided, but it was quite warm in there. We ended up sleeping in the kids room with the A/C so we could sleep more comfortably and had the kids sleep upstairs. There is a window A/C in the family area also. We used to live on island so we know how warm it gets and the trade winds, but from the listing I didn't notice that there wasn't going to be A/C in the master area. Not a big deal, just something to know. We'd definitely recommend this location and condo.

If you’re looking for a fantastic, clean, spacious, and accommodating place with an awesome view/ location- look no further! This home is simply the best! The owners have thought of everything and it was truly a home away from home during our stay. The owners are excellent with communication and the pool & grounds were lovely!

Needs to have a thorough cleaning, greasy dust on all the glass topped tables. Living room curtains were dirty and had brown stains. The entry way and kitchen rugs where very soiled, old and we’re tripping hazards.
Kitchen was not equipped as advertised. Drawers were not organized, it was hard to find what was needed due to having everything mixed together sharp knives mixed in with everything else.Not enough silverware, cracked coffee cups, pots and pans were scarce and in ill repair. Oil and spices left in the cupboards were out dated and sticky. Not enough kitchen towels.
Everything in the lanai storage area was unusable. Either very dirty or had turned to dust (Reed Matt’s turned to dust when touched. Tennis rackets we’re old with mold on the handles. Cooler was dirty and not cleanable. Crumpled up blow up toys covered in sand. Generally everything unusable. Lanai table was dirty appeared not to have cleaned for a very long time.

We had a great stay. The unit is just as described and was perfect for us and our two adult children. Most places have a single bed or twin beds in the second bedroom and this one has two full sized beds. Unit was spacious, clean and had most everything we needed. The partial ocean view from the patio is lovely and the property is so beautiful that just looking down on the greenery was relaxing. There are lots of good food spots within walking distance and the small beach across the street was a great place to swim and watch the sunset. Would definitely stay here again.

The unit was a great home away from home for the week. Lots of supplies, well stocked kitchen, and very comfortable beds. Nice big fans in each bedroom which helped the upper bedroom, as the A/C is in lower bedroom and living room. We needed some supplies and they were very responsive. Sharon has great communication and the check in/out process was very smooth. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a great week

We have been to Maui a few times and stayed at Kamaole Sands because it is a great property...from the location to the pool, BBQ areas and all the other amenities. Our stay at Fred and Sharon's condo did not disappoint. Sharon was very prompt with her communication (which is very important) and they provided an extensive information package about the condo, activities, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend this property...hopefully we will back sooner than later. Thank you, Fred and Sharon.

We loved renting this condo. It is just like it is advertised. The view from the room is beautiful, looking in to the grounds, overlooking the pool and peek a boo view of the beach. This condo resort is one of the nicest ones in Kihei. Quick walk to the beach too. It was the perfect size for my husband and I and 3 teenagers. The master bedroom had a nice cozy bed and the 2 beds in the 2nd bedroom are a nice size. We would definitely stay here again.

Sharon’s condo was perfect for us to explore all of Maui. Right off Kamaole Beach III where there is a great snorkeling spot on the north end rocks with lots of fish and we also saw turtles.
The condo itself was well stocked with everything you need. We cooked our Christmas meal there and it was great - but also lots of great restaurants near by (loved Izakaya Genge and also in the same Azeki plaza Nalu had great burgers and live music). Paia Fish Market is also great.
Kihei is a central location for trips to Road to Hana, Iao Monument, Up Country as well as west Maui and Lahaina. Shops at Wailea just minutes south had great free Polynesian dancing Tue and Thur afternoons. It was a whole hour and better quality than some of the Luau’s I have been to! Mekena Landings Beach was a really small nice local beach that we enjoyed as well.
Enjoyed the pool and hot tub at the condo as well and the staff were very friendly. Grounds were very well maintained.
Sharon was great to work with and was super nice to let’s us checkout later since we had a late afternoon flight. Highly recommended!

This condo is awesome! Great location! Check-in was very smooth and the place is exactly like it is in the pictures, also very clean. Everything we needed was close by. We ate dinner out on the lanai and enjoyed the breeze every day!
Kihei is the place to stay. Kamaole beach park iii is just across the street. Sharon and Fred are fantastic hosts! Would definitely stay again!

We have stayed in several condos at KS & this is the Best one!! Sharon & Fred have taken great care of the condo & have everything you need for your visit. We love to cook & BBQ on our trips & the kitchen has all you need. The beds are comfy & the decor is the Hawaiian treat. The Lanai is PERFECT, it has great views & doesn't get too hot. Coffee in the morning is our favorite treat on the Lanai. Dinner on the Lanai is great too. You can catch the sunset each night too!!!
We will be back for sure!!! Sharon is so AWESOME to work with. She really cares about your visit making sure all is well. Thank you for allowing us to stay .. Aloha !!!!!

Wonderful condo in a great, family friendly location. The condo was just as listed -- including everything you'll need for the beach and pool (towels, boogie boards, chairs, snorkeling gear, noodles, toys, floaties, etc) and a well-stocked kitchen (plenty of utensils, plates, pots, pans, glassware, spices, ice maker in freezer, etc). Nice to have a big lanai with a great view on the 4th floor of the building. Sharon was very helpful, responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay in this unit again.

We had a fabulous time at Fred and Sharon’s condo. The condo location and layout were perfect. Being on the top floor of the building allowed for great views of the ocean and the island while relaxing on the lanai. The bedroom and bathroom on the main level was perfect for the kids. The loft and bathroom upstairs was spacious for us. Everything was clean and organized. The condo was well stocked with everything you might need. There is a television in each room. Board games to play during down time. The lanai closet had snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach toys, beach chairs, an umbrella and a cooler. With the beach across the street, it was easy to carry the handful of items to the beach without needing to use the car. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, cups and mugs. The pantry had spices as well as a variety of containers and ziplock bags left by previous guests which made things convenient. There were plenty of towels in the closets for kitchen, bath, and beach. The condo complex was very clean and the pool area was a perfect place to relax in the evening after a day at the beach. The kids loved playing in the pool.
The location of the condo is perfect for traveling around the island. Wailea is only a few minutes down the road. Lahaina and other cross island locations are a reasonable drive. Shopping and grocery stores are not far.
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your condo. We look forward for another opportunity to stay here!

We just got back from Maui and had a great time! Weather was a little off for Maui standards but the great condo made our stay enjoyable. We loved the view of the pool area. We have stayed at the Kamaole Sands property 3 times now and each time we are impressed with the facilities and care taken to maintain the property. Thanks to Sharon and Fred for allowing us to stay in your condo.

Amazing location! The condo had a great view of the pool and ocean. It is close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We had a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for everybody and it consisted of all the amenities you could hope for in a vacation rental. It was very clean and organized. The owners are quick to respond to questions and very helpful with any requests. Overall it is a great condo and when we visit Maui again I will definitely be looking for this condo and would recommend it to anybody.

Overall I was very happy with the property. The grounds were nice, the condo was great. Amenities were plenty. The only downside was the master bed was well used, and unfortunately no matter what my husband tried he could not get comfortable and ended up sleeping on the floor. I had no problems though, felt the grooves, but slept great. The dishes we used initially appeared to have not been washed, so we ran them through the dish washer, and the bathroom appeared to be minimally cleaned also.

My family of 5 stayed for 9 days and could't have asked for a better vacation. The condo had incredible views front and back of the ocean and the pool. We were able to watch the sunrise and sunset every day. My kids spent countless hours in the pool and going to the beach was easy and convenient with a quick walk across the street and lots of beach equipment stocked in the condo for us to use. Kamaole Sands is a beautiful complex and is very well maintained and clean. We absolutely loved Kamaole Beach3, the sand was gorgeous, the water warm and the waves not as rough as some of the other beaches on Maui. We enjoyed snorkeling, boogie boarding and skim bording and saw a turtle swimming by almost every day.
The condo was a nice size, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen very adequately stocked. Sharon was great to work with and always responded quickly. My only complaint is I felt it could be a tad cleaner. The kitchen cabinets had drips down them and there seemed to be a bit of sand here and there. Also the dishwasher did not work well.
All in all I would definitely stay in this condo again and highly recommend it to others.

My husband and I recently stayed at this condo for 8 days with our baby girl who is 16 months. Fred and Sharon were very responsive to any and ALL my questions. And they were flexible with our dates and check-out time.
It is in a great location, within walking distance of tons of places to eat, touristy shopping, and great beaches. We chose to drive about 10 minutes down the road to go to Makena Beach, which was absolutely beautiful as well.
The condo itself is very clean and extremely well stocked. I would go to the condo first before you go anywhere to buy groceries because we were surprised at how much there was in the pantry from previous guests. There were snacks (individually packaged), pasta, condiments, spices, even butter. All nicely put away in sealed containers. We ended up stopping at the grocery store (which is only about 2 miles away) before going to the condo and didn't end up needing everything we bought. Which was nice in a way. It also had shampoo, conditioner, Q-tips, TP, and even some sunscreen. We were pretty pleased with it. Hotels don't even give you Q-tips.
There are tons of beach toys, beach towels, and games in the condo which we used all of.
We used the pack-n-play provided and it was clean and in great condition which was such a relief. It was practically brand new. We were able to fit it in the room on the main level so she could have a cool, quiet place to nap and go to sleep.
The condo has a great pool that very well kept and it is almost directly under the room. It is a pretty big pool, very clean, and nice and cool when you're sweating your guts out.
The only thing we were slightly disappointed in is that it says it's air conditioned. Which, to be fair, for Hawaii standards, it is. There are 2 AC units, plus ceiling fans and a big box fan. It took about a day for it to cool down after we got there and once it did, it was nice. We kept the blinds and curtains closed to keep it cooler as well. After the first day, it was perfect.
Also, the ice maker in the freezer works great. We brought our Camel-bak to just take to the beach so we didn't have to haul a cooler (and everything you need for a baby). We filled it with ice and water and it lasted all day. It was also nice because we didn't have to buy ice or water bottles.
For our first stay in Maui it was exactly what we hoped it would be. If we ever end up going to Maui again, I will stay here if it's available because it was a fantastic condo.

My family & I stayed in Sharon & Fred's beautiful condo for one week. The condo is located in a gated resort that is very well kept and full of lush grass. The condo itself is located on the top floor of one of the many buildings - not far from the elevator, but far enough so that you do not hear any elevator traffic. It was very clean and well maintained with absolutely charming Hawaiian themed decor. The space was larger than I had expected and worked perfectly for us! The room downstairs included 2 beds and and an AC unit. It also had wooden blinds that really blocked out the light, perfect room for sleeping in during vacation or taking naps.The upstairs loft bedroom had a fan above the bed, keeping us cool and comfortable. Also includes it's own master bathroom, which was very spacious and had a standing shower. There was plenty of bedding & towels (both beach & bath) in the closets & a queen air mattress. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans,plates, cups, utensils, etc. that we could need. The living room offered a nice TV, comfy chairs w/ foot stools, a sofa and a sofa bed that was really comfortable. There were also plenty of games (Candyland, Yahtzee, Chutes & Ladders, Cards & more) and a nice selection of books. The balcony was large with a table and 6 chairs for outdoor dining and overlooks the interior of the resort, including the pool. There were great beach/pool toys in the closet on the balcony, including; pool noodles (little dried out, probably time for new ones), inflatables, boogie boards (some were cracked, but still worked), buckets/sand castle toys & more. There was also a puddle jumper for small kids. We were also happy to borrow the rolling cooler and beach bag. The unit also had a bathroom downstairs, next to the downstairs bedroom so nice & convenient. It also had a washer/dryer. The location is awesome! The beach, park, restaurants & shops are all within walking distance from the condo. I really loved Kihei & definitely recommend this condo!

The location is amazing! Right across the street from the beach! We utilized the kitchen and BBQs quite a bit! This was my home away from home for 3 weeks, and it was perfect!

Great resort and they maintain it well. They kept the pool area up and we're great about upholding quiet hours. My only complaint is that they close the snack/food area by the pool at 2:00pm. We wanted snow cones in the afternoon and they had closed. Would be nice to have that open until at least 4 or 5 and maybe have drinks available to purchase. Other than that it was absolutely amazing and an awesome location👍 We would definitely come back in the future.

This unit made our vacation in Maui a breeze. It was very well stocked with spices and cookware. There was a good range of beach toys ,chairs and towels, and the lanai was great to use because it is so spacious. Air conditioning in the downstairs bedroom made it a lot easier for our grandchild to take his naps and go to bed at night . We have stayed at the Kamaole Sands several times over the years and noticed that the grounds are better kept and more colourful than in the past. Staff at the complex are also very friendly and helpful and the owners of this unit are just great! All in all, in was a great place to stay and helped make our family vacation very memorable. Thank you Sharon, Fred, and Matt.

We have been coming to Kameole Sands for over 5 years. This year we rented a top floor unit in building 6. The unit was updated, clean, and had plenty of extras like beach chairs, boogy boards for the kids, beach umbrella, sand toys and a cooler. The large lanai was also great for outdoor dinners and it had nice views of the gardens and ocean. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Sharon the owner was also really easy to deal with and she was very accommodating allowing us to check in early as our flight got in hours before check in time. We would definitely stay here again.

Sharon and Fred's place was perfect for our family vacation. Great location just across the street from Kamaole III, and set back far enough from the road so it was quite at night. The apartment was set with everything we needed to enjoy our beach time and a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals. Close walk to shopping and lots of restaurants and just a great jumping off point for exploring the rest of Maui. Sharon and Fred were quick to respond to all inquiries and great to work with. Would definitely stay here again!

We just enjoyed a fabulous two weeks in Maui and our 6th stay at Kamaole Sands. First off, we've stayed at many different places in Maui and this is by far our favourite complex. We have three children ranging in age from 4-9 and the beautiful grounds, two pools, kid friendly hot tubs and close proximity to the beach makes this a fantastic choice for families. We spent our mornings at the beach and afternoons at the pool. This unit comes with everything you need for the beach and had enough for all three of our kids to have their own boogy board and chairs to sit in plus plenty of beach toys to play with.
The unit itself was perfect. We have rented at quite a few different places at Kamaole Sands and we were so impressed at how many little extra's this condo supplied. Sharon and Fred have thought of everything from spices and cooking basics to tinfoil and tupperware, plus the great selection of books/games and the laundry/dishwasher supplies were all so helpful. They covered so many of the little things that all add up and we really appreciated having them included in our stay. There was even a Hawaiian gift bag waiting for us when we arrived which was such a nice welcome to the Island.
Sharon and Fred were a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this condo and are already planning our next trip back to paradise!

This was our 10th time to Maui and our 8th stay at the Kamaole Sands. The condo is well equipped and one of the most lovely we've stayed at. We enjoyed having the privacy in the upstairs master suite and still be able to keep an eye and ear on our 12 year old son downstairs. The proximity to the pool and bbq is perfect. You are close, but not too close to hear the pool noise. Having the beach chairs, towels and toys helped me to pack lighter. Although we didn't use it, having the printer available in case we needed it for work was great. Also, appreciated having a smart tv with Netflix and we also used our Amazon account (and remember to log out). On our last day we had an issue with the dryer, but Sharon's contact Carol Mulch made a trip to the condo and helped us! So appreciative of her kind gesture to dry our clothes! Very responsive owner and lovely, lovely condo! We would love to return!

This is the third time in four years we have stayed in this unit. It works perfect for our family - we have two children (22 and 19) so the second bedroom with two double beds works perfectly! We have always found communication with the owners awesome and they are very accommodating - they really do want your vacation to be enjoyable! We so appreciated the welcome gift of coffee to get us started and some other little treats!
This unit has everything you would need - beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, etc. - we just show up and enjoy. They have a wide variety of spices in the cupboard for cooking and all of the kitchen gadgets you might need. Often there are condiments in the fridge to use and storage bags, foil, plastic wrap, wax paper, etc. already there to use as well.
The pool is very close to this complex and the beach is just a short walk across the street. We would enjoy the beach in the morning and head to the pool about 2 pm for some more sun and fun. We saw turtles almost every day at Kamaole 3.
The lanai is a nice size and we would often enjoy our dinner out there watching the beautiful sun set over the water. The view is lovely and the gardens are extremely well kept.
We love visiting Maui and have thoroughly enjoyed our time staying in this unit.
Thanks Sharon and Fred!

The owners were very easy to communicate with and very helpful. We (a family of four with kids 9 & 11) have stayed at Kamaole Sands on a few different occasions and really enjoy this complex and location (our kids actually requested that we stay at this complex again). This condo was exactly as described. We really appreciated all the little extras that made the stay so much more enjoyable: a welcome basket with coffee and snacks, condiments in the fridge & storage bags in the pantry, shopping bags for the grocery store, beach chairs, beach towels,soft cooler, beach toys, & boogie boards. The boogie boards were very nice quality and condition, & we had another family ask us about them because their unit didn't offer anything as nice. The condo had everything that we needed. We spent most of our time at the beach across the street snorkeling (lots of turtles, fish & coral to see) in the morning and boogie boarding in the afternoon. We also love the tennis courts at this complex and played just about every morning before going to the beach. The pool area is where we relaxed in the early afternoon, swimming and playing ping pong. We had a wonderful time and hope to stay here again in the future!
