Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Kamaole Sands. Our unit was clean and stocked with the kitchen items we needed to make dinner during our stay. We appreciated the beach items such as the snorkel gear, boogie board, umbrella, chairs and ice chest to take to the beach. I love that it was a gated community with a pool. We enjoyed the beach during the day and would come back for swimming in the evening. Check in was easy as was check out. Our only issue was the sliding door would not open upon arrival. The maintenance man was nice and promptly came to fix it so we could enjoy the balcony for the rest of the week.

Place was exactly what we needed! Hosts were great to deal with. Rental has lots of extras that we really appreciated including lots of beach toys, scuba gear, and a wagon (this was our favorite!). Lots of space for our family to enjoy while in Maui Pool was also great! Only down side was you are on a busier road but it didn’t make a difference to us. I would highly recommend!

Overall, really enjoyed our stay. The condo was super comfortable and clean. The location is great. The construction going on in other buildings at the property had minimal impact - very little noise but there are construction vehicles and materials throughout the parking lot. The unit has several beach chairs and an umbrella. It would have been great for my kids if there was a boogie board and sand toys. We bought some sand toys though and were able to rent a boogy board from the pool area. Otherwise, the condo has everything you would want!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had read enough reviews from others to have a good idea what to expect. This is not a luxury condo. No frills, but comfortable. The air conditioning had to work hard to keep us semi-cool. Being the top unit of a three story building, this condo gets hot without the air conditioning running. We honored the owner's request to not run the a/c when we weren't in the condo. But it took an hour or two to cool down when we returned each evening. There were some thoughtful amenities. We really appreciated the beach umbrellas, small cooler, and 7 beach chairs that were housed on the patio. They even had a set of utensils that could be used for picnics. The kitchen was tiny (only one person can really be in there cooking at a time). But, the dining room and table were quite large. All the appliances in the kitchen worked well. It is not right on the beach. But, the view from the patio was still beautiful. We couldn't see the sandy beach of Kamaole Beach Park directly, but the view from the patio was still stunning at sunset with a view of the ocean, the West Maui mountain and Lanai in the distance. The condo is outdated. But we did't mind that at all. We felt right at home. The upstairs loft's bathroom fan is quite loud and cuts out after running for more than a few minutes. We didn't turn the tv's on (we would much prefer to be out exploring paradise!). This wasn't a 5 star hotel, but it was perfect for our cheap family of 6.

We just got back from our trip, and the condo and resort were wonderful! The view is the best we have ever had in Hawaii, and we were really happy with the AC, as well as the other amenities. The condo was a comfortable place to spend time in when it was hot, and we really enjoyed the pool and hula show on Wednesday! The beach across the street was really nice and super convenient, and after exploring many beaches on Maui, Kamaole Beach Park ended up being one of our favorites! It is also convenient how the resort is super close to Wailea and tons of restaurants. Overall, I couldn't recommend this condo more; it's fantastic!

Location is across the street from Kamaole 3 beach, also within walking to Kamaole 2 beach. Chairs, beach towels and umbrellas are provided in the unit. Kitchen is stocked with pots and pans, coffee maker for the days you want to cook in. There are also BBQ grills which are very clean. BBQ tools are also in the unit. The lanai is small but perfect for morning coffee. Sleeps 6 but really means 3 couples or a family. My only con is the timing of communications from managing company. This was our first time booking VRBO and felt a little lost in what was to be provided by the rental. We would receive an email explaining after calling.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kamaole Sands #3-402We had a great time. The condo was great. There were a few thing that where a little outdated. Not enough plugs for charging and no usb outlets.The AC in the main floor bedroom was loud and didn’t work very well. The sofa was great. It was so comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped . It would has been nice to have a couple of stools at the counter. We would stay there again. Now we’d know to bring a few extra items. Location was great. Rentals Maui Inc. was great. The reservation process was very easy. We had a couple requests for Rentals Maui and they didn’t hesitate to help us out. Thank you so much.P.S. I did fill out a review form that we were instructed to leave on condo counter. Sorry you didn’t get it.... Stay dates June 1-June 8

I stayed with my teenage son, and it was perfect for our needs. Within easy walking distance of the beach and nearby restaurants. Fully equipped kitchen. My son was comfortable enough on the pull out sofa. A huge plus to have a washer and dryer. Easy on the budget too.

We loved Chris’s apartment and liked Kamaole Sands a lot. It is a lovely 2-bedroom apartment with a kitchen with practically every appliance you can think of, a washer and dryer, and air conditioning. The lanai and all the rooms are comfortable. The mattress in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. The views from the master bedroom and lanai are even nicer than the promotional materials. We were a little leery about the views in advance because comments on trip adviser say lots of promotional photos have been doctored – but these weren’t. This apartment has some of the nicest views in the entire complex and it is very close to the beach. We only looked at condos with air conditioning because we were concerned about the heat. There was separate air conditioning in the living room and each bedroom, but we only used the air conditioning in the master bedroom. Our son never used air conditioning in his room. Breezes from the lanai kept us totally comfortable the rest of the time. The master bedroom air conditioning was great once we got used to the controls. Kameole Sands is a nice complex. The grounds are lovely and it has a nice swimming pool. The grounds were prettier than any other hotel or condo grounds we saw except for the grounds at the expensive Wailea hotels. The beach by the complex (Kamaole 3) is pleasant and a great place to watch the sunset. For snorkeling (our main interest) other beaches were better but they were only a short away.

We enjoyed our stay at Kamaole Sands. The condo had lovely décor and was very clean. We loved the ocean view from the lanai. It was very convenient having the washer/dryer and two full baths. The kids loved the pool and ping pong tables. The location can't be beat as Kamaole Beach III was right across the street. We were able to walk to restaurants for dinner (and gelato for dessert) as well. We highly recommend this condo.

Perfect location, the beach is right across the street and its probably the best in the area. Literally everything you could need in the room was there. Lindy and Bob contacted us multiple times to make sure everything was good. I would not hesitate even a little bit to stay here again. Thanks for the amazing stay!

We had a great time at this condo. My family and I stayed for 9 nights. Kihei is a great little town. So nice to be able to walk to the beach and to get breakfast. Highly recommend The Cinnamon Roll Place, just a short walk up the road. Everything was as described. Beds were comfortable, condo was clean. Pool and grounds were gorgeous! Thanks for a vacation of a lifetime!

This was a lovely condo as described and we really enjoyed the view of the lawn and fountain with the ocean in the background. It worked well for our 2 small families. A couple of bath towels were missing when we arrived but that was quicky remedied by the property management. The only downfall of this unit was that the patio was very small and faces directly west which is hot in the late afternoon sun.

Our stay here was outstanding. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything you could need. The large lanai was perfect for morning coffee, afternoon relaxing, and sunset dinners. The condo is just steps across the street from the beach, and a short walk to restaurants and stores. The owner reached out after we arrived to make sure everything was up to standards. I’d recommend this condo in a heart beat.

This was our 4th time at Kamaole Sands so we knew what to expect. Ground floor unit is great and spacious. I cooked all our meals and was pleasantly surprised to find sharp knives and pretty much everything I needed there. Had an issue with the microwave and property manager was very responsive, all is good. Lots of towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. We'd rent this unit again as we appreciate the layout including the second bedroom with two twin beds. Thanks!

Out PMI manager even assisted us with our grocery delivery after our flight in was delayed! I couldn’t have asked for more! I would definitely stay again should I be back in Maui! Aloha!

Positives: Great location for walking to the beach or restaurants/stores. All features of the property were functional (hot tubs, pool, grills, gym, etc). No issues with noise. The unit provided beach chairs and some sand toys and plenty of towels, coolers, beach bags etc. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. Negatives: Will sound like a lot but these were minor issues. Our group rented multiple units on the same property. Most provided a beach umbrella and boogie boards. We would have used them if present, but it wasn’t a big deal for us that none were provided. The floors were not able to be cleaned well enough with a broom or vacuum. I think they are due for a good scrubbing. I suspect this is a major challenge on a ground floor unit in Hawaii. We never found any dishwasher pods (dish soap for hand washing was provided). We borrowed a couple from another unit. No big deal. Lastly, a few of the guys working on the property took their breaks (on weekdays) laying in the shade immediately off of the landscaped area by the patios. In the listing picture titled “water and garden view from lanai” they would be laying on the other side of the small palms. They were not doing anything unusual (mainly looking at their phones) but it was not ideal. We definitely kept our curtains shut for the bedroom patio. All that said: We did not seek to address any of these issues during our stay because we were too busy having a great time.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was clean met all basic needs. Our A/C broke and the fuzzed right away. We had a crazy perfume smell one day. I think the ventilating from wash and dryer is bad. This made me crazy due to perfume sensitivity.

Our stay started off on a rough note. To the surprise of the owner, manager and us the unit was getting a new roof installed the day we checked in. Manager was great and offered to help us any way possible including moving to a different building. We may it work with the noise and just stayed away from the unit most of the days. We came back in the late afternoon and construction crews were gone. As far as the actual unit itself, it was perfect for us. Updated bathrooms, huge patio, air conditioning, and plenty of room for the family. We will definitely reach out again when we return to Maui.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at this fabulous condo. Gourmet kitchen with all supplies a family or chef could possibly need. Beds and linens were comfortable. Water presser and remodeled bathrooms were great! A/C worked great! Everything met or exceeded our expectations. CLEAN! Location, grounds and security are some of the best on the island. We've been to this Resort a few times. Everything only seems to get better each year. Susan, the property manager was very responsive through text, and also on the VRBO platform. She helped accommodate our last minute reservation and check in was super simple. Love that! We are already planning to visit this A+ unit again in the future.
