The location is perfect, steps away from the beach, good eats directly across the street we love Kamaole Beach Royale. #508 has a great view but we were a little disappointed with the condo. It has an old odor probably due to the rugs and furniture. It looked clean but it didn’t feel clean. There is a cockroach problem, traps are visible and saw a few roaming in the kitchen. The complimentary beach chairs and such are worn out but they did the job. Everything thing worked as should. We have stayed in #308 twice and that condo was in better shape. We picked #508 for the view and it was priced lower than #308. We will try other condos at KBR you just cant beat it.

What a fantastic apartment Wendy has.
Sitting on the Lani watching the ocean and the mountains in the distance, while the sunsets over Maui is a great way to end the day.
Walking distance to the beach, restaurants etc.
Apartment was well finished, comfortable bed, and all the beach gear you could use.
We would not hesitate to recommend Wendy’s apartment.

Myself and my girlfriend arrived to Maui end of August excited for a memorable trip. We left Maui as an engaged couple so I’d say we met our goal!
For a fun trip like this, we wanted to find an apartment in a great location that was clean, accessible, safe and reasonably priced. This listing hit all of the marks and exceeded our expectations.
For a small bit of background, I have stayed in this apartment complex before in a different unit for a family trip. I understood the location was great but what set this place apart is within the complex, the apartment was clean and the views were outstanding.
Our host was responsive and accommodating. It was the perfect spot to set up “home base” during our holiday. I would recommend that anyone who is looking at a place to stay in Maui look no further. Recommendations have already been made to family and friends!

The apartment it is only half a block from the Kamaole Beach I, a very quiet and nice beach. It is full equiped and clean, giving the ability to cook whatever you want. Washer and dryer are a plus.
The lanai (balcony) has awesome views to the beach. It is even better than the pictures.
The parking space isn't too wide, but we could park our SUV with no major difficulties.
It have some minor details, like a noise some of the lanai courtines make, or some issues with the microwave that are easy to fix. Other than that, 100% reccomended.

The condo has a lovely view, is well equipped and the location is situated for easy access to beaches, restaurants and sightseeing. The property manager is great, responsive and helpful. Try the food trucks, they’re excellent!

This place was great! It’s walking distance to everything you need in Kihei, beach, stores, restaurants, etc. the place was really clean, and had all the ameneties you and the family need during a vacation. Great balcony to just hang out and hear the waves crashing looking at the water and stargazing. It is also a quick drive to different attractions. If you are looking for a place around Kihei. This is the place to be! BOOK IT NOW!!

I stayed at the rental with my 2 children in their 20's. The location was perfect as it was a few minutes walk to the beach. It was very close to our snorkel tour for Molokini Crater also. I wish there were more detailed instructions on how to run the AC. Instructions in the unit were vague and it was not a thermostat like a home with central air would have. We split our time between the condo and a resort in Kaanapali. Would stay at the condo again!

The property was conveniently located and close to the Wailea golf courses. The unit we stayed in was accurately listed and very clean. We will visit again on our next golf trip to Wailea.

Across the street from the beach with a phenomenal balcony to enjoy the view and sunsets. Washing machine wasn’t working when we were there (scheduled for repair), but the property manager offered to pick up and have our laundry done while we were there. Wasn’t necessary as we had friends we could use their facilities, but the proactive way of offering to address was greatly appreciated.
Fantastic location and set up for our family vacation. Would definitely stay here again!

The condo is exceptional. Beautifully decorated. Having two bathrooms was extremely helpful. The lanai was nice because there was an eating area and a lounge area. The sunsets were spectacular. We were close to grocery stores, restaurants, activities, and souvenirs. Great communication with the host. Would love to stay here again if we make it back to Maui.

Great property. One huge complaint needs additional air conditioning unit. It was warm in the condo. If we didn’t have the a\c on it would have been very uncomfortable. Layout and amenities were great but don’t know if I would stay there again because of the heat and humidity in the condo.

Condo is clean with a good view. We were able to watch the sunset every night. The beach is a short stroll but it wasn't our favorite beach. The waves were pretty rough the entire time we were there (which changes). The beach is washed out with orange fencing along a lot of it. We enjoyed the location and could walk to some shops. The back rooms are indeed very hot. Thankfully the place has fans and my kids didn't complain but if it had been me sleeping back there I would have been miserable (we stayed first week in August). Condo is on the 5th floor. The washing machine was broken, that was a little inconvenient. They did take our clothes, wash them and bring them back but it would have been better to just have the washer. The place was comfortable, beds and sitting areas. It was a decent place to stay.

This property is in a great spot of Kihei. Very easy drive to Wailea Shops and minutes from the food trucks in South Maui Gardens and local shops. Very close to the beach with easy access! Plenty of parking too.

We loved having AC in all the rooms and having a great view of the ocean. There are a few quirks about the place that I would change if I could, but overall it was great. Like others have said, you can’t really use the freezer
because it’s close to the wall.

We really enjoyed staying in the condo and eating our meals on the lanai with a perfect view of the beach, coconut trees, ocean, and sunsets. We also enjoyed the rooftop grills! Communication with the owner was excellent. We would DEFINITELY stay here again. 👍

Very spacious and well appointed condo in a great complex. This was our 4th stay in the Kamaole Beach Royale and we keep returning because of the perfect location, amazing views and setting. This condo has everything you could need on vacation. Very comfy rooms and beds, large double lanai, modern kitchen and appliances. Everything is well looked after. The swimming pool is clean and is well positioned for sun but offers enough shade around it too. The beach across the road is safe for all the family. Parking space on site. Nice cafes and shops opposite the complex. The property managers were very responsive to our queries so you are in good hands. Definitely worth considering for your next stay on Maui.

We had a wonderful time. Property is clean and a good location. Quick walk to the beach and pretty ‘central’ if you like to get out and explore other areas of the island! The property had great ‘extras’ for us to use such as the beach chairs, cooler and umbrella. Onsite parking was great. Extremely convenient and comfortable!

We loved the location and the 3 seperate bedrooms for us 5 adults was perfect, There were 2 disappointing issues......... The washer did not work and the unit needs a deep cleaning..especially the carpet in the traffic area. We will definately stay here again if the 2 issues are resolved.

This was the perfect spot for our family. We enjoyed the views from the lanai and king size bed.
Everything was super simple, and a breeze. My only complaint was the firmness of the king bed. But that is just preference so I really don’t have anything negative to say.
We enjoyed our time here and will be back hopefully sooner than later

I stayed in this property with 2 adult family members. The supplies were perfect and everything was excellent. I had requested that the 2nd bedroom be combined into one king (instead of the default 2 twins), which was all ready to go when we arrived (and very comfortable). We had everything we needed, including kitchen items, laundry, and very nice beach chairs and umbrella. I would definitely recommend this unit and hope to return again soon!

Our family travels a lot. We are not newbies to changing places.
Pros: Location is amazing. It truly is. Just get your towel/blanket and in less than 5 min of slow walking you will find yourself enjoying one of the best beaches in the area.
Apartment was clean and definitely better than pictures.
Pros/Cons: Interior is kind of outdated. While nothing is wrong with it, we constantly had a feeling of being in grandma's house.
Cons: Here I have to explain more. Everything was as usual accept one thing. After booking owner mentioned a "starter package" of what's needed and Costco availability. I didn't pay attention to this note until we arrived. And let me remind you, we travel a lot, using Airbnb, Vrbo. We never had this kind of "starter package" before. In this case "starter package" means about 1/4-1/3 roll of toilet tissue in each bathroom and no paper towels in the kitchen. That's it! So, lets see, you traveling, give or take, 8-10 hours on average to get there. From Chicago it was 4 hours flight to LA, 1.5 hour lay over and then 5 hours to Maui. You rented your car, finally got to your destination just to find out you need to go shopping just to use a restroom or make a quick meal. Really? We never had this kind of situation before. Mentioning of the Costco was really kind. It means for your 7-10 days stay you will need to buy 12 rolls paper towel and 24 rolls of toilet tissue... Nonsense. If not the location, I would definitely take off more than one star.

We walked in we’re floored with the ocean view. The unit was perfect and even better than I expected! All the amenities including were a pleasant and appreciated surprise. It was spotless. Plenty of towels, beach chairs. Coolers. Boogie boards and pool noodles. There is a pool onsite. Master bedroom was a dream waking up to the ocean breeze and sound. I would definitely book this property again 5+ stars beyond exceptional!!!

Our Family of 5 greatly enjoyed this house. Great bedrooms, balconies over looking the ocean, plenty of beach toys to use (chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, flippers, sand toys, boogie boards), kitchen fully stocked with pots/pans/utensils/cups/plates/etc, located so close to the beach, shops & restaurants. We enjoyed time at the beach in the morning, cooking at the house, swimming in the pool at night, and relaxing with a coffee on the balcony watching the sunset. This really felt like a home away from home.

This is the second trip we have stayed in the same building (different units each time though). We love the location as it is easily walkable to many restaurants, the triangle bar area, gorgeous beaches, etc. We love walking nearby to get breakfast and enjoying it on the beach before taking off to one of the many awesome beaches nearby for snorkeling. This unit was very clean and exactly as described in the listing. We had one minor issue where the beach umbrella was starting to show some wear and tear and when I mentioned this to the property managers, they had someone bring a new one by that same day. Awesome customer service! As others mentioned in their reviews, the air conditioning is located in the living room area but they provide several fans (if needed) and we never felt warm in the bedroom. Would not hesitate to return!

Limited toilet paper and paper towels, no Kleenex
No response to email sent at booking
Leaving the only key in lock box was inconvenient, would be nice to have a spare to take with you
These are minor inconveniences we found, overall we were very happy with the location and cleanliness and would consider booking again in the future.

Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Pros: Good location. Nice cold A/C throughout. Big lenai. Well stocked (pots, dishes, spices, snorkel gear, beach towels, etc). Internet worked fine. Mostly quiet. Nice beach short walk away. Lovely breeze through unit when lenai and front door open at same time.
Cons: No blackout shades in bedroom (bright in morning). Loud birds outside bedroom window woke us up very early each day. Too much glass/decorations for young children. Bedroom windows didn't have working locks so easily accessible via public walkway (they provided dowel rods per our request). No content streaming to TV (bring a Roku). Pool was unusable due to construction noises.
As an aside: I also didn't realize how uncomfortable two adults in a queen sized bed would be. My husband ended up sleeping on the couch. There is no king in the unit.

The property was wonderful and very well appointed. Wendy was an excellent host; she was responsive to our needs and even helped us with a special situation. The condo is in walking distance of an excellent stretch of beach and lots of amenities. We especially enjoyed the access to the upstairs rooftop deck. The only negative was the lack of a view from the secondary bedroom. We would definitely book this condo again

Stayed for 7 days with our family of 5, kids ages 18-24, and it was a perfect setup for us. 3 BRs were great and the kitchen and family room were very spacious. Lanai was fantastic and we sat out there most days enjoying the view and breeze. Speaking of breezes, every afternoon the trade winds kick in and winds can get gusty. We loved the Kam1 beach in the morning and then if it got windy, we went on to other activities or drove to a different beach that was more sheltered from the wind. For us, Kam1 beach was awesome because the water was great, never too crowded and easy walk plus food nearby. Beach chairs were in great shape- we didn't use the umbrella because we were too worried about the wind. Saw many turtles at Kam 1 everyday and even had one come up onto the beach to sun itself right next to where we were sitting, which was very cool. Highly recommend this condo- great location, very clean, well stocked, and no issues.
