This resort is fantastic! The property is well-maintained, with a great location and a lovely beach just across the road. Excellent customer service: I realized at the airport that I had forgotten my passports in the room, but David and Jake, were able to find and bring them to me at the last minute! Thank you for everything!

Kamaole Sands #5-103, was perfect for us. Being on the ground floor allowed us to just walk off our patio to access the beautiful grounds and pool area. The walk to the beach across the street from the property was about 10 mins. from our unit. The reception stafff were great and all instructions on how to access the condo were clear.

Reviewer Comments:
5-103 is a great location as it is ground floor and directly behind the pool for easy access. One thing to consider is building 5 directly faces west, so starting in the afternoon the sun starts beating in and makes the lanai and front area of condo hot and very sunny! Kamaole sands resort itself is absolutely beautiful, we’ve stayed in many different units throughout the years but this one definitely left us underwhelmed. VERY dated unit: popcorn ceiling, yellow/brown sponge paint throughout the unit made it feel dark/dingy, kitchen cabinets are sticky/tacky like they’ve been painted too many times, all furniture except the new sofa is all very worn, the cushions on the wicker dining chairs and the bedroom mattress desperately need replacement, very poor/dim lighting throughout the condo. There is a 2 hour timer on the AC unit which becomes inconvenient. We came home one afternoon to the unit being 86 degrees and takes about 30 minutes to cool down. You need to continuously turn the dial on the timer to make sure the unit stays comfortable. Other small inconveniences: the plastic handle on the outside of the lanai door is cracked so there’s really no handle to easily open it, the WiFi signal is very poor and doesn’t reach the bedroom and all the soap containers are refilled with mostly water. Check in process was great and Rentals Maui was kind enough to text us when the unit was ready 2 hours early. Check out process ended up being a bit more complicated than expected, but Cassandra was helpful in resolving the issues. Be advised although the check out instructions are somewhat vague, the cleaning crew expected the unit to be pretty much spotless. Also they keep an EXACT inventory list down to every fork and spoon, so be sure to replace everything exactly where you found it. Although we love Kamaole Sands, we would not stay in this particular unit again.

We had a wonderful stay. The property, amenities, location, all matched the description. Beautiful grounds and vegetation. Three great beaches just across the street. Easy access to bus routes and a short walk to shops and restaurants. The unit was very comfortable with nice furnishings and a well stocked kitchen. Extremely clean. We highly recommend this property and hope that we can stay there again.

Rental property is in a location that we both really enjoy. We like long walks in the morning and the easy access to Kamaole park 3. The grounds at this complex are beautifully maintained. The condo itself in my opinion needs some updating. The hideabed was replaced from last year and the table. My biggest issue was the beds mattress. I am nearing 69 so my preference for comfort may differ from someone younger but waking up all night in discomfort from the bed has had to make me not return here. I can deal with broken floor tiles and a tub that was spray painted to cover the rust but a good nights sleep is too important to me. It is one of the most reasonably priced units at Kamaole sands.

We liked the location of this unit. Easy walk to pool. A little farther to grill location but not much. Cannot see the ocean from here, which to me doesn’t matter. Easy beautiful walk down to S Kiehi road, straight into Kamaole beach park 3. If you are a morning walker you can’t beat this spot.The unit was clean, but could use some updating. I was unable to get the bedroom air conditioner to work, but we didn’t need it. Trade winds easily move the air through this unit. The bed was not an issue for me, slept fine. Never had any issues with insects. Units here are serviced by outside services pest control regularly. Only reason I can’t give this a 5 are the small reasons mentioned. That said we already booked this unit next year!!

We had a great time in Hawaii! Kamaole Sands reception staff are professional and the grounds are very nice and close to many amenities like fantastic beaches. Our particular rental needs to have replacement washer and dryer and microwave. The dishwasher was so strange it was hard to figure out how to start it and the buttons are where you can not see them when turning on. We had little ants in addition. This location is nice, but we will rent another unit next time we come - looking for some updated appliances. Maybe less ants if we rent on a higher floor?

This was our second time staying at this condo. We loved it the first time and loved it once again. It has the best location right across the street from Kam 3. It's well appointed and everything is there that you need. Coolers and beach chairs. We bought a new boogie board because we broke the one the condo provided, sorry. Overall a great place to stay. Can't wait for the next time.

While this condo was a place to sleep, that is all we used it for. There are ants everywhere and even has signs that there is an ant problem in the home. The ants were literally everywhere. Not one place didn’t have them. We kept everything very clean and picked up and still found them in our bags, laptops, make up, etc… A sign that says “we have ants” isn’t acceptable. The condo hasn’t been updated since the early 80’s including the bedspreads and curtains. A BIG facelift is needed as well as a good cleaner for the condo. The tub was dirty as well as the dishwasher not workable. The washer and dryer can accommodate 3 items. Recommend staying somewhere else until they get their ant problem situated!

Kamaole Sands is a fabulous property! The location and proximity to the beach is great! We enjoyed the pool and the grill and meals on the patio of this unit. We loved that #5-103 was on the ground floor and opened right up onto the grassy area that is pictured. We were happy with the beach supplies that were available. The other supplies are pretty bare bones. We would recommend adding a few more spices, detergent packs, garbage bags, etc. It also would have been nice to have at least a couple of extra towels. There were 4 of us and only 4 towels provided. The washing machine is very small! The lack of supplies made this unit 4 stars instead of 5 and would be the only reason that we might look at others for our next visit. But, we definitely plan to stay at Kamaole Sands again the next time we are in Maui. It was perfect! Check-in and check-out were very easy and we appreciated the communication from Rentals Maui along the way.

We had a wonderful stay at Kamaole Sands and I would definitely recommend this location!The condo was very conveniently located and all of the staff at check in were very pleasant. The beach was right across the street, and the pool just a short walk away. We did enjoy having an 'adult-only' spa as the pool itself was very much in use by families and children. The exterior was beautifully maintained with a lush landscape and the condo itself was well stocked. The lanai was perfect for hanging out and enjoying the breeze, and there were umbrellas and other beach gear available for us. We had a few challenges with the wifi initially but were able to get those quickly resolved. The kitchen was also well stocked with all amenities that you may need. We also appreciated having two bathrooms and had much more room in the condo than originally anticipated! We also loved that there was a stocked bookshelf along with some Maui guidebooks that proved to be invaluable. We would love to stay here again during our next visit to Maui!

The location and the kamaole sands property is fantastic as a base of operations for a stay in Kihei. But this condo really needs work. Everything is so dated and seems perpetually dirty. The en suite bath/shower is very grungy. the dishwasher didn't really get anything clean. It needs a refresh of paint, fixtures.
We ended up not using the fold out bed for our kids, because it was just too old and uncomfortable, so we used 2 blow up mattresses on the living room floor, which took up the entire living room.
I'd update the condo to make this a better option for a family.

The location is great, and the condo itself is also very comfortable and spacious. Does not have AC through out the unit, there’s one in the living room which is great, but the room can get a little too hot it does have a couple of fans which helps. It’s not a deal breaker and a lotttt of properties in Maui are like that anyway. The only thing I would say that has nothing to do with the unit is that I dealt with a property managing company, which to me makes the experience of Vrbo less enjoyable because it feels like you’re dealing with hotel management etc, too many rules/ policies instead of that person to person contact. Overall would recommend the unit because of the location and great amenities.

We loved our stay at Kamaole Sands. The property was beautiful, and our condo was perfect. I was thrilled to find such a good deal for this condo. Although I thought the furnishings a little dated looking at the pictures, honestly I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival! And being in Maui we were hardly ever in the condo anyway. It was a perfect homebase on a beautiful resort to come back to between excursions and enjoy meals together in our own kitchen. I have no complaints whatsoever about our stay :)

Loved the beautiful view and sunset every evening! Loved the pool and hot tubs and that the condos were right across from a gorgeous beach where we swam with turtles and did yoga in the mornings. Close to lots of other wonderful beaches. The only thing I would recommend to the owner is to get a memory foam mattress topper for the beds and softer pillows :). Beds were a little hard.
