We have fully renovated the unit as of December 2013, and decorated it in a Hawaiian motif. We've installed new all wood cherry kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, appliances, and kitchen utensils. Along with new paint throughout the condo. Both bathrooms have been upgraded along with most of the furnishings.

The Condo is on the second floor easily cooled by the trade winds, it's quite private tucked away in the corner of the resort in building #8 apartment 202. The condo is spacious at 818 sq ft and the lanai is 166 sq ft, the majority of lanai's in Kamaole Sands are only 69 sq ft. It is away from the noise of the inner court and South Kihei Road. We're at the east end of the building, very close to the stairs and far enough away from the elevator so you are not disturbed by anyone coming or going. Your assigned parking spot is nearby.

The unit has free WiFi, cable TV, a blue ray player, and CD/FM stereo for entertainment, along with a lending library of books and games. It's fully furnished with a 52 inch ceiling fan and A/C in the living/dining area.

The bedroom has a queen size mattress (new in March 2021), portable air conditioner to keep you cool at night, along with a 52 inch ceiling fan, 28 inch flat screen TV, and a safe for your valuables. The fully upgraded master bath has new cabinets with granite top, and a full tub/shower.

There is beach friendly tile throughout the condo, the living area has A/C as well, a new sofa sleeper, 50 inch LCD flat screen TV, cable TV, and a CD/FM stereo.

The guest bathroom has a new glass shower enclosure, new cabinets with granite top and the washer/dryer nearby.

The bright kitchen is newly renovated with all wood cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, and a large island with bar stools. It's equipped with new appliances, range, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, many cooking utensils, and other accessories along with a variety of spices, etc. The outdoor barbecues are just a short walk away. The dining area is well lit and has a new rattan dining set.

The condo has a large private lanai, 166 sq. ft. which easily accommodates 4 or more people, the majority of lanais in Kamaole Sands are only 69 sq. ft. From the lanai you get a view of the volcano Haleakela and a peek-a-boo view if the ocean. It's a perfect place to enjoy a great cup of Hawaiian coffee in the morning or to enjoy the afternoon sun. The lanai easily accommodates a family of 4+ for meals and has a cabinet stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, mats, coolers, and kids toys for your use during your time at Kamaole 3 beach just a three to four minute walk from your condo door. Unfortunately due to liability issues we are unable to supply any water-sport gear.

A one weeks supply of laundry, and dish washer soap is provided along with toilet paper, when this runs out you are responsible to provide your own.

If you decide to stay remember the morning information session by the pool after you arrive, and the Mai Tai party on Wednesday's from 3-4:45 pm.

Mahalo for considering us and we hope to talk to you soon.

We've stayed at this condo before and enjoyed it again for a month-long stay. Had everything we needed. Newly added bedroom a/c was an extra convenience for napping at a hot time of day.

The condo was very nice but the resort amenities were amazing! Lush landscaping, lovely pool and clean gym. So close to the beach. We had everything we needed!

beautiful apartment, excellently equipped with everything you need. Unfortunately, the sofa is very old and after 10 nights our backs were completely destroyed. The AC in the living room very noisy, but luckily we didn't have to use it. Great access to the beach.

This condo is very nicely maintained with quality remodel features (granite, stainless appliance, comfortable bed). We stayed for one month, and had everything we needed. We've stayed at several other units within KamSands and especially liked the quieter relaxed location of Building 8. We hope to return.

Had a wonderful time staying in this condo. It had everything we needed to have a fun and relaxing vacation in Maui.

As advertised and expected. Building 8 is upper most and along a road separating this location from another condo complex to the South. If you’re wanting something closer to the pool then other buildings (2, 3, 4,, etc) may be more to your liking. (We spend ALL day either at the beach or doing activities so are pretty much using it for meals and sleeping.) This unit is well appointed but there are some aspects which could be improved. The bedroom faces East so without blockout curtains some may need an eye mask for the 5AM sunrise. The windows in that same room also face the smoking area and depending on the direction of the breeze the smell of cigarettes can be annoying if the windows are open. Lacking AC in that room you really need to keep them open to keep a breeze moving through the condo. On the other end of the unit (living/dining room and kitchen) there’s a security light out on the lanai which is moving detecting. As such, it goes on and off every 10-15 seconds throughout the night. No biggee unless you’re also using the hideaway bed in the sofa. Again, blockout curtains would be a nice addition. Without them most would need to go with the eye mask routine. All in all, a good place and fairly priced.

This is a great location for all things in Kihei. Short walk to Kam 3 Beach, and all sorts of fun activities. The kitchen is well equipped which was better than any other I've stayed. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. I'd stay here again for sure.

We had a fantastic time staying at this condo. The location was ideal and really attributed to us packing in the most adventure and relaxation during our stay. The beach is literally 2 minutes away and waking up to the birds singing on the balcony every morning was a dream come true. The condo was clean, comfortable and fully stocked. We will definitely be back!!

Just a few points and suggestions. Please have the floors washed before your guests arrive. Our socks and soles of slippers were black from the dirt! The bedroom in the front of the condo never cooled as the unit air conditioner was located in the living room next to the patio and on a timer. My husband lost 1/2 lung to Lung cancer and it was very difficult for him sleeping in a hot room. The sleeper sofa for him was not a comfortable replacement. Had an issue with the TV not working. Carol the property manager wanted ME to call the tv service. She finally came out and the tv service told her there were bad cables and would send them to her. She Did manage to get the tv working through a variety of manual directions. Everything else was great.

My partner and I stayed at this unit for a little over 3 weeks. There were no surprises at all during our stay there--everything described in the listing is accurate. The location is wonderful, the kitchen was well-appointed, the beds were incredibly comfortable. As described, there is no A/C in the bedroom, but personally my partner and I did not find this to be an issue, despite the fact that we were visiting from the colder Pacific Northwest where we do have A/C. Communicating with Wayne was pretty straightforward. He answered my (many) questions prior to the stay, and on the instance that we called we were able to resolve the issue quickly (the issue was my fault). My partner and I were both working remotely during our stay. We are both engineers and had no issues with the wifi. Working from the roomy balcony was especially nice in the morning. I looked forward to working out there a lot and certainly miss it now that I'm back home. However, wifi access from the room may be challenging, likely due to all the concrete. Imo this was inconvenient but not a dealbreaker. Cell signal can be tricky from the unit, and you may have to step outside to the balcony in order to take a phone call. The quick solution here is simply to take calls using data, and in that case you won't have any issues. Definitely made use of the beach chairs and beach umbrella! In the very hot tropical sunshine, having these around was pretty much key to really being able to take advantage of the beach, which was literally a stone's throw away. All in all it was a pleasant stay, and I was sorry to leave. I would stay here again if I get the chance. :)

The rental arrangements were straight forward, owner was prompt with communication. On site manager Carol was very accessible and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and some basic ingredients and seasonings were there to use. The condo is in a nice location directly across from a public beach in the lovely Kihei area. Greatly appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, towels and coolers provided with the condo. Would definitely return to this resort and condo again!

My wife and I spent a little over three weeks in this unit. The unit was vry well equipped for someone who likes to cook. All beach towels, chairs and umbrella was available for use as well as bogey boards and snorkel gear. The owner had left some tips of things to do while on the island which would be helpful a first time visitor. Overall very pleased with both the unit, the resort and the assistance and support provided by Wayne.

Have stayed at Kamaole Sands many times over the years and this unit was definetly one of the better ones. Condo was clean and well appointed. It was great not to have to buy salt & pepper along with other basics like toilet paper, paper towels, & laundry detergent! The recent renovations were well appreciated. The beach chairs & towels were great to have available for our use. Umbrella, boogie boards, and coolers are also available but we did not use them. The only drawback that I can speak of is that the unit does back onto a service road thus making it noisy in the mornings & evenings. We also had minor problems with the condo safe. It would not open the first day there, then it worked for a couple of days; and then it did not work again, so, I gave up and was very careful with my belongings. All in all, it is a great condo.

Our stay at this condo was great. It is very nice and looks just like the photos. Wayne was great to deal with and the condo was well stocked with toilet paper, paper towel, dish soap and some condiments (who wants to buy salt and pepper for a short stay). It was very clean and had all the amenities from home. The balcony was amazing! It was one of the few large ones and we enjoyed eating, reading and drinking coffee on it. There were also a great selection of beach chairs, mats, umbrellas, beach toys and coolers. The grounds of this complex were very nice and the staff was nice as well. We were travelling with our 7 months old baby so the toddler pool was great for her. I really liked how the owners had a little book that gave us tips on where to eat and what to do. I also liked that after 10pm it was quiet because we have a baby. My only two things that I didn't like as much was the service road behind building 8 - it was a little noisy in the morning (not a deal breaker for us) and the amount of little bugs at the pool when it was windy. I would recommend this property to others.

The newly remodeled condo has a great kitchen and open area. The beautiful beaches are just across the street. The condo complex is well taken care with on site help for any tours you may want to take on the island or for information. A perfect stay for our vacation. Thank you!

The condo was well stocked, clean and part of a great complex. We were on a family vacation on the island and enjoyed the condo and its location to everything. (Beaches and restaurants were definitely walkable) The recent renos were beautifully done. The owners were helpful with any questions we had prior to our stay and were very easy to deal with. The complex had a variety of travellers, other young families and older couples. We would definitely book this for another vacation to Maui. Definitely eat at Coconuts in Kihei! We ate their twice during our stay! Check out Monkeypod Kitchen in Wailea too!

We arrived to find the condo nicely renovated and decorated. The property was clean and well stocked. Communication from the owners was quick, clear and helpful. We hope to return to this property and would recommend it as a good value. The beach directly across the street has beautiful sand, amazing views and fantastic whale watching. We found the location of this property had good access to all our sightseeing destinations.

We have stayed at Kamaole Sands resort many times and were very pleased with this condo. We gave it a 5 star rating based on the price you are paying to rent the condo. You are getting great value for your money. It is very clean and very well decorated with quality furnishings and linens. This condo is also very well stocked. We were the next visitors after the owners had stayed so we found the condo to be immaculate and very well set up. The owners were very easy to communicate with when booking this condo. The listing and pictures accurately describe this condo. We would recommend this condo.
