We loved our condo! The view was great of the ocean of the mountains. Everything was clean, great aesthetics. The kitchen had everything you could think of for cooking baking eating, etc. it was awesome to be able to prepare our own meals when needed. We highly recommend, this place. The owner is great and very responsive to our questions.

We just returned from a 2 week trip to Maui and enjoyed our stay at this property. There were 3 adults and two teens with us and the condo worked really well for us. There was lots of space for the five of us. There were plenty of towels, linens and pillows. The kitchen had most of the things we needed to make meals when we wanted to. The only things we would have liked were a small knife/paring knife and a better plug for the kitchen sink. The closet on the lanai was well stocked with beach equipment and we made use of the small coolers a lot. The property grounds were beautiful and the staff was all kind and helpful (as were many fellow travelers staying there). We loved having our morning coffee and breakfast on the lanai every morning to take in the view
We appreciated the close proximity to Kam Beach III and were there a lot when we weren't out on adventures to Hana/Halaeakala/upcountry/Kaanapali. We would definitely recommend staying here for a laid back vibe, friendly people, great views, and plenty of space for your family to enjoy!

This condo was perfect for our group of 6. The kitchen was fully stocked. The whole place was very clean. Our host was very prompt in answering questions.
Our only complaint was the twin beds in the loft were not very comfy. The pools are on the small side but we did not spend much time in them.

Great location, not far from the shops in Kihei. It’s a quick walk to the beach and thankfully is equipped with beach chairs and boogie boards. The AC was heavenly after a hot day.

We had a wonderful visit. Hale Kamaole was recommended and did not disappoint. The unit was very comfortable for all 5 of us. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking meals, and we loved sitting out on the lanai in the early mornings and at sunset. The rooms were cool enough with the fans on and the air running at night in the two bedrooms. Easy walk to the beach and to a coastal trail/path that heads east along the beach. Close to groceries and great food. (We loved the South Maui Gardens food trucks!) Driving west to Lahaina and Kanapali was not a chore either. Nice day trips to explore the west side. We visited several beaches in S. Kihea and loved them all.
Linda, the manager, took great care of us when we needed extra amenities. She was readily available to communicate, which we really appreciated. Great place to stay!! We felt at home.

The property was very nice, we were very comfortable and met the needs of 5 adults. The cookware was really nice to use. The bbq are always clean and we were in close proximity to one of the pools. The host allowed us in early, which was very helpful. The cleaning team called and let us know when they were done so we could get in 4 hours before check in. I would definitely rent this unit again. We had a wonderful time here in Maui

My family and I had a great time at this stay! It's right by the beach and stores/restaurants that you can walk around. Love the location! The home has fully equipped kitchen and beach supplies. It's a cute 2 bedroom with a loft. It was pretty spacious for 6 adults and 2 kids. I met our next door neighbor, very friendly, but he did reminded me that the walls are thin. We only heard them early morning when the TV is turned off and most of the time we were out about, so had no issue with noises.
I usually have bad allergies, but later found out that it wasn't just me. Some of us were sneezing in the place bc there was a lot of dust. It was nice having the fan inside the home, but it only blew all the dust around. Overall, it was a cute place and great location.

All the amenities and more were provided for a very comfortable home away from home vacation. Tons of towels, hangers, drawer space, fans, 2 full bathrooms with extras like shampoo, body wash, reef-safe sunscreen and bug spray (not needed). As an experienced home cook, I truly appreciated the full kitchen with quality appliances and cookware. It was thoughtful to have the bottles of cold water in the fridge, waiting for us. We loved the jams and coconut milk that were left there. Note to owner: it would be nice to provide decaf coffee and teas in addition to the others. Also, housekeeping should clean the exhaust fan in the upstairs bathroom. It worked fine-just something I noticed. Thank you for sharing your hale with us!

Good view unit.
Problems with key lockbox
Although we recognize this is a tropical climate, ants in upper bedroom, cockroaches in lower bedroom and kitchen.
Otherwise, accommodations were very comfortable, and well outfitted.

The condo was perfect for our family of four and my parents! Great location within walking distance to beaches and to the many shops & restaurants in the area. The condo was well stocked and a bonus was how nice the quality of the pots and pans were (if you’re a habitual vrbo’er like me, you know what I’m talking about!). Couldn’t recommend this condo more!

We loved our stay at Karen’s place! Great location!!! Close to the beaches, easy driving to all of our destinations, walking distance to Kihei downtown for dining or shopping. Well stocked up kitchen which made it easy to make most of our meals at home! We enjoyed sunsets just a few minute walk to the beach across the street, Also it was great to have a balcony with beach and mountain views for our breakfasts and dinners!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The condo was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking and storing leftovers. My only kitchen recommendation would be to have some ziploc bags on hand as well as some basic condiments/spices on hand. This was one of the best equipped vacation rental kitchens we have ever stayed at.! The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked well. Keeping the windows open while we were gone helped to keep the house from getting too hot. The view from the balcony was beautiful! We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and snorkel gear and used them for all our beach days! We loved staying in Kihei, lots of food options, a short walk to the beach, and shopping nearby. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The condo was just as advertised. There is a bedroom downstairs and the en-suite upstairs with the loft hosting 2 twins. Kitchen well accommodated. Laundry was wonderful. All the extra pool toys, chairs, coolers have been provided. Pool just downstairs was not too crowded. Loved the lanai with beautiful views of the ocean especially at sunset. Already sharing pics to rally a second trip!

Perfect for our family of 6. The unit was clean and well-stocked with towels, beach towels, beach toys, kitchen utensils and cookware. At night we ran A/C in both bedrooms and left the doors open and all fans on and it was comfortably cool enough. We saw no bugs or geckos in the unit. Yay!

I had a mostly positive experience with my stay in this condo. The location was awesome (across the street from the beach and close to restaurants and shops), the amount of space was great and we had everything we needed in the condo (beach chairs, beach towels, kitchen supplies, etc.). We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and seeing the ocean and the pool was nice too. Check in was really easy and the instructions provided were clear. The AC units and fans kept the place cool when we needed it.
As others have noted, the condo is a little dated, which leads me to the only thing I didn’t like. I saw a few insects and geckos in the unit, which triggered my OCD and made me nervous. But, if you don’t mind that, then this unit could be perfect for you.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and felt grateful to have a spacious place to stay in a great location.

My family and I stayed in Karen's condo for 11 days. It was a great spot to explore Maui. We loved Kihue and prefer is over bustling Lahaina and Kaanapali. Kam Beach II is just a short walk away. Great place to watch the sunset! Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked often. Beds were comfortable and AC worked well for cooling in the bedrooms. Karen was very responsive when we needed anything and a few maintenance issued were taken care of very quickly. I would highly recommend this unit!

We had plenty of room for all 5 of us. The 2 bedrooms are large and the twin beds in the loft worked well. That loft area does not have air conditioning though and can get quite warm so we moved a fan upstairs and opened windows to get more airflow.
The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to make several meals using the BBQ outside.

Wonderful experience with this rental! Great area, well provisioned with all the amenities one would like to find in a beach house. Everything worked, was clean, zero issues with creepy crawlies, plenty of towels and sheets etc... Though not directly on waterfront, was located close to pool and just a short distance from beach which was great too. Big grassy park in front, excellent snorkeling and close to boat launch for diving. Nothing to complain about what so ever. Highly recommended...

Very special occasion for our son's wedding on Maui.
Fully equipped kitchen to enable us to cater to the many visitors that dropped in to Hale Kamaole prior to the wedding.
Excellently presented large condo with lovely decor and quality chattels. Clean and well maintained. Extremely well stocked pantry and fridge when we arrived.
Great position on the upper tier of the HK complex.
Karen, and her manager, were very responsive and quickly followed up on the one or two queries we had.
Hale Kamaole is our favourite holiday destination having been here many times since 1987. Good swimming beaches right over the road and we again saw turtles there in waist deep water.
Easy walks to 5 Palms restaurant (great happy hours) and Freds or Moose McGillicuddys (2 good bars) and Cafe O Lei (great sushi)
This is an excellent condo in a great location that we would readily recommend to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!
We stayed with our adult children and truly appreciated the view of the ocean, the clean well appointed condo, and the proximity to beaches, shops and restaurants.
The little extras such as clean beach towels, boogie boards, coolers, beach chairs, etc are a lovely bonus!
We would certainly recommend this condo.
Love south Kehei, and plan to be back!

Thank you very much. We had a great stay. The apartment is very well located, in walking distance to nice beaches. There is a full view of the ocean. The apartment is very clean. We can recommend it very much.

This was the perfect place for our family of five. It has a great view of the ocean but is far enough away from the road that you didn't hear the traffic. Close walk to the beach, we got the pick of the beach since we could get there early enough. It is well equipped with all of our needs, nice not having to pack beach towels! The wash machine quit working and Karen and her on site manager were on it and got it repaired quickly. There is a laundry place on site so if we had to we still could have done laundry (Karen even offered to refund us if we did). At first I was worried about the strict pool rules for the kids, but our kids did fine and were not to loud. Basically no horse play or toys in the pool. Pool was nice but we spent most of our time on the beach. Thank you Karen for a great place to stay while visiting Maui. We will be back for sure!

The condo is in a great location. Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops. We were so impressed that the condo contained everything we needed to make our stay fun. Beach chairs, boogie boards, lots of beach towels, coolers (and an ice pack in the freezer) she even had bug spray for that trip to Hanna. We had a wonderful time.

Cannot review this particular unit as we did not get to stay here. 3 days prior to our departure, the owner cancelled our booking, but did locate and arrange an alternate comparable unit in the same facility.

This was our first time to Maui! My wife found this unit and was very happy working with Karen as she was very friendly and quick to respond!
We travled with our kids and other family and we had lots of room. There were 2 bedrooms, 1 loft with 2 twin beds, and a couch downstairs. The unit had lots of boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys, towels, and other items. The Hale Kamaole complex was very well maintained, the landscaping was nice and the pool and community BBQs were cleaned every night. The unit was also nicely stocked with towels and bedding. We cooked most of our meals and felt like the kitchen was very adequate.
The unit is a close walk to the beach and couple min drive to everything in S Kehei. Something I didn't realize and wasn't an issue was that the main floor is cooled with ceiling fans and by keeping the slider to the lanai and front door (there is a locking storm door) open. There is A/C in the bedrooms but the loft did get a little warm at times but didn't bother our kids because of the fans. There was almost always a slight breeze and this method of cooling seemed quite common there and nice.
You can see the ocean from the lanai and look out over the pool. If you are looking for reasonable, family friendly place, close to kid friendly beaches, great snorkeling and everything else in Maui then stop right here! Contact Karen, she is a pleasure to work with.
