This is an amazing property! The beachfront setting cannot be beat, complete with an outdoor shower, snorkeling a few steps away, and whales galore! While the square footage is fairly small, the layout is perfect for our family of 4, and the condo is ideally stocked- it is easy to tell that this is a family place, but arranged to make any guest feel like the space is their own. There were plenty of unexpected touches as well, and the power sunshades were amazing...AC in the bedrooms a huge bonus! The city of Kihei is super central to all the fun things, and there is great food a walk or short drive from your door. Kihei is a good mix of locals and tourists, so if you are looking for a strictly resort feel- which we weren't- head further south or further north. We'll be back ASAP!
Loved our stay here in Maui! The proximity to Charley Young and Kam 1 beach was the best part. We could just walk out and be right on the beach. With our 2.5 year old daughter it was epic! The loft style 2nd primary bedroom worked well for our family of 3. Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a few nights and made Mai Tais.
We had an amazing stay here! The condo was exceptionally well appointed; everything I could think of was provided and easy to find. The location is perfect and the entire family loved our stay. We've stayed in several places in Kihei and this is our new favorite!
Hands down the best play to stay in Kihei. They had everything we needed for our stay. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise every morning and an incredible sunset every night was spectacular. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place.
I stayed here for a week with my 18 year old and this was truly the perfect location. We landed, hit Costco, drove to the condo, and immediately went to the beach. We saw turtles swimming! We rented snorkeling gear, and bought food, shampoo, conditioner, and sunscreen, but the condo had everything else we needed: beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, backpack cooler, beach bag. It was really warm inside when we arrived, even with the fans on, but when we turned on the AC unit upstairs it cooled the main floor living room also. My daughter shared the upstairs bed with me because it was so cool to lie in bed and watch the gentle ocean each morning. The location was perfect for exploring the entire island. While we visited a number of beaches, the one right out back was our favorite. We could decide last minute if we wanted another dip in the water, and we watched the sunset from the balcony. While we snorkeled at a number of places, including Molokini, our best snorkeling was the morning we left. We went right out back to the rocky area at about 7:30a. There were about 8 people already snorkeling and we found quite a few turtles. They were resting on the bottom, but they'd come up every once and awhile too. It was amazing! We stayed out until 8:30a, came back in to shower and pack, and were at the airport by 10a. Perfect!
The owner was communicative and the pest control people came one morning, but she texted us that they were coming so we weren't surprised. Great Vacation!!!
This condo is in such a great location. It is on Charley Young beach. No roads to cross, just walk straight out to the beach, or sit on the lanai to see the water (and the whales) and hear the surf.
The South Kihei location is also great for amenaties. Kihei Caffe is across the street, Dolphin's Mall is a block away with it's gelato. A grocery Store and the the restaurants of South Kihei are just north of the condo.
It also has great access to the other parts of the island with easy access to the Piilani Highway.
The condo was very comfortable for the 3 of us. Well stocked with all our needs from coffee cups to boogie boards. Communication with Tina was quick and easy via text.
We had a great week here, would recommend it and hopefully we will stay here again.
We loved our stay. Location and accommodations were top notch. Everything in the listing was accurate. Would definitely stay again.
We have stayed in this building several times. This is by far the best unit we’ve stayed in. It’s clearly been lovingly cared for. This should inspire guests to take care of it as well. As others have noted, this unit is supplied with many things that other rentals do not have which come in very handy. The location is the best on Maui. We didn’t want to leave. The owners were extremely helpful, responding quickly to our questions.
My family had a great time staying at Kamaole One! It was the perfect location, very centralized on the island in Kihei. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom were perfect for my teenage daughter and her friend. The bathroom upstairs was a little tight, but my husband and I made due. Also, changing clothes was sometimes a challenge - forgetting to close the top blinds!
I think we only used the beach out front a 2-3 times, but we loved sitting on the lanai drinking our coffee and playing games with the view.
The condo had what we needed for the week, except the snorkel gear probably needs to be replaced. We couldn't find a complete set for an adult. But, renting for about $10/day down the block was not a problem. The only hiccup we had was connecting to the internet, but Sharon was very responsive and got us all set up in no time.
Would consider staying here again when we go back to Maui.
