Our stay at "The Best View on Maui" was amazing! Plenty of room for our family of 4 including myself, my wife and 2 teens. And the view is absolutely stunning, you can watch the sunset every evening from the lanai or the comfort of the couch, or while making dinner in the well appointed kitchen.The owner, Mike, took the time to call and check in on us since we were there during the tsunami warning (which turned out to be no big deal). The tsunami did cause a few of our prepaid and scheduled activities to get rescheduled. Mike was very gracious and allowed us a late checkout so we could still get Molokini Crater snorkeling in on our last morning and come back to shower up before heading to the airport.The location is perfect, very close to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping and grocery stores. There's a beach park that's never crowded directly across the street (1 min walk), where the waves are gentle and with lots of sea turtles we saw up close while snorkeling.Kihei is a great town to stay in on Maui because it's centrally located to all the cool things to do like Haleakala (get up at 3am to see the sunrise, TOTALLY worth it), 20 min from the airport, and only 50 min from Lahaina (definitely do the Lūʻau there).We would definitely stay here again!
This rental was perfect for us. It was close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We stayed here 4 nights and wish we stayed longer. Thank you. We will stay again next time.
Absolutely would stay here again! The location to the beach & restaurants/shops was perfect, views beautiful, & the condo comfortable!
We stayed here for 4 nights with our kids and had a great time. The location is ideal because you are right next to the beach so it’s easy to get there as well as enjoy the views. There are also no obstructions blocking your view. Also the pool is nearby which our kids liked. The place itself was very clean and the owners were responsive and helpful. We had everything we needed including a fully stocked closet with beach/pool supplies. It did tend to get hot in the late afternoon, but there were either plenty of windows to ventilate or the AC would quickly cool down the place.Overall a great experience if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Maui!
We love this unit so incredibly much! I have been coming to Hale Kamaole for 40 years and this is BY FAR the best unit we stayed in. Its clean, well equipped, comfortable, and has tons of space for everyone. Not to mention the view, which is insane. We have stayed in this unit for the last 2 years and would never stay in another unit again.
Other than that our stay in Maui was very good. We were right across the street from Kamaole III which is a nice beach though does have some rocky places. However it wasn't too crowded so we were able to swim, boogie board and play in the sand as much as we liked. We were there in January so the Whales were active and we were able to see them from the lanai, though I would recommend bringing your own binoculars as the ones in the condo leave a lot to be desired. The condo itself was pleasant though it did get a little warm and muggy during the hot part of the day. The A/C Units helped to stifle that as well as letting the outside air waft through. While it is nice to be so close to the beach and be able to see the whales from the porch one thing I hadn't counted on was the noise from the road outside. It didn't affect sleeping or anything but did make it more difficult to hear during the busier parts of the day. Fortunately we weren't in the condo all that much so this wasn't a huge issue. The only real downer was having to purchase our own bath soap, TP and paper towels. 7 nights is just too long for what was provided.
Well stocked, well kept, updated in recent years, newer a/c setup (no window shakers), very clean, always a score if there is availability in Hale Kamaole but this unit is amazing.Watched sunsets from our front row seats on the balcony or ocean side a short walk thru the park. Enjoyed being so close to the street, always something to see (scooters, bicycles, motorcycles, lots of pedestrian traffic in daytime). Convenient to parks, malls, restaurants, all within walking distance if you are physically able.Best unit in this complex.Thank you for sharing your amazing space with us and anyone fortunate enough to find availability.Highlights: OO Farms in Kula for their brunch/coffee/farm tour - teens loved the chameleons that were found in the foliage; information shared by staff throughout the tour was spot on; the food prepared by the chef & his assistant(s) was so wonderful/something not to be missed! The Molokini snorkel tour with the Pride of Maui tour was a great day and money well spent. Smaller group with higher ratio of staff to customers.The road to Hana tour company took our party of 5 to ensure we got to experience the tour as well as their very knowledgeable driver was most happy to work and share the local history.Thank you for a memorable vacation that we will all be reminiscing and sharing with the hope that more people will return to Kihei for their vacations.
Great location! We loved waking up and walking 3 minutes to snorkel! Kids enjoyed playing frisbee while Dad and I watched from the lanai with a delicious pineapple wine!
We had an amazing vacation at your Kihei condo. The location was perfect, the view was stunning, and the condo had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Just across the street is such a wonderful beach with tons of sea life including turtles there everyday. Just a short walk to great restaurants and store. What a vacation and we will be returning for another stay soon!
I have been staying at the Hale Kamaole since I was born, and this is by far the best unit I have stayed in. Its one of those places that you almost don't want to review because you don't want it to get so popular you can't get in again! But we are actually already booked for next year, because I don't ever want to stay in a different unit.
It was super clean, well equipped. The owners were friendly, and quick and easy to deal with. I loved everything about this unit. I have a very messed up back, and the bed didn’t cause me pain, which is almost unheard of. The view is obviously unreal. I was even able to watch my husband and kids boogie board from the kitchen table, and we did see a lot of whales! We didn’t need to use the AC often, but when we did, it was quiet and efficient. The water pressure in the upstairs shower was awesome, everyone fought over that shower.
I think the only things I would change are adding some sort of drawers or something in the loft, as my daughter didn't know where to put her clothes, and they ended up everyhwere, and improving the wifi a bit, because we had a few issues with streaming shows getting hung up. Also maybe some new boogie boards, as there was only one and it was missing the strap, so we ended up renting - but that is super cheap so not a huge deal.
We were all so happy there this year. Typically we are kind of ready to come home by the end of our trips, and this is the first time no one wanted to leave yet. It felt like home.
