What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers rave about Kamaole Sands’ location and setting. The resort sits directly across from Kamaole Beach Park III, so it’s an easy walk to swim, snorkel, boogie board, and catch nightly sunsets. Reviewers consistently praise the beautifully maintained tropical grounds, clean pool and BBQ areas (often cleaned daily), and family‑friendly amenities like a kiddie/wading pool, hot tubs, gym, and pickleball/tennis courts. Kihei’s central, walkable location is another standout: coffee, shave ice, casual restaurants, and shops are nearby, and Wailea’s beaches and activities are a short drive.

Most condos feel like well‑equipped homes. Many units are updated, clean, and comfortable with full kitchens, washers/dryers, two bathrooms, and thoughtful beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, toys). Lanais are a highlight—ground‑floor patios open to lawn that’s great for kids, while upper floors trade that for wider ocean or garden views and breezes. Guests frequently note strong communication and quick fixes from responsive hosts/managers (PMI Maui mentioned often). Families in particular love the convenience, space, and resort vibe.

A few themes to keep in mind: units are individually owned, so decor and upkeep vary—many are modernized, while some feel dated or have occasional cleaning or maintenance misses. Air‑conditioning setups differ (some have splits in every room; others rely on living‑room units or timers), and a handful of guests found bedrooms warm without bedroom A/C. Buildings closest to South Kihei Road (especially 10) can have traffic noise, and occasional activity at the adjacent park; interior buildings are generally quieter. Periodic property construction (notably roof work) has caused daytime noise or parking detours for some stays—ask ahead. Also expect a brief front‑desk check‑in and modest resort fee. If these details matter, confirm bedroom A/C, lanai size/view, beach gear included, and any scheduled construction when you book.

We had a wonderful time. The unit is beautiful with awesome access to the pool area. Just a short walk to one of the best beaches on Maui. The entire experience was great! 10/10!

This unit worked perfectly for us! Parents and two boys, they each got their own bed and so close to the pool. The deck is a little larger than some and that was good too. The pool areas is awesome and we really enjoyed the hula show and live music. Some of the beach gear could use replacing or removing, but the best is the wagon!

We had an amazing stay at this Maui condo! From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful, clean, and welcoming. The unit was beautifully maintained with modern touches, comfortable furniture, and all the amenities we needed for a relaxing vacation. Waking up to ocean views and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was truly unforgettable.The location couldn’t have been better—close to great beaches, restaurants, and shops, but still quiet and private. The pool and grounds were also immaculate, and the staff on site were friendly and helpful.This condo made our trip feel like a home away from home. We can’t wait to come back and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Maui!

The unit had everything I needed! Clean, comfortable and perfect for me. The only down fall was the bed was a little too hard. Thank you!!

Generally, everything was decent. The shades in the bedroom don’t do a good job of blocking light from the exterior, which stays on all night. The unit needs a thorough cleaning, as there’s a reasonably thick layer of dust on secondary surfaces like decorations, picture frames, and corners. The beach towels had stains, and there was hair behind the bedroom's connected bathroom. I blame this more on the poor cleaning staff than anything else. The host was responsive and very accommodating. It’s a nicely renovated unit, and I think with some extra work on cleanliness and presentation, it could be on another level. The wifi way faster then needed and the host could save money downgrading to a 200mb plan, the current plan is over 600mb (enough for 12 people in a medium sized office).

The unit was really very nice. It had a lot of good beach gear including a wagon. To start our stay, we got a message when we landed that the a/c wasn’t working, and the alternate accommodations they offered were not acceptable for us(we had other family staying here). So to start our vacation we had to vacate this unit for the repairmen. Also, the building was under renovations which included many loud noises around and above us all day. The “assigned” parking was nonexistent and we had to park on the other side of the complex, or a building and a half away and transport our luggage and groceries a long way. It would have been nice to have information.

Lanai was spacious and beautiful,always in shade.Kitchen was well equipped except the dish washer didn’t clean. Because we are early risers the noise from elevator users was not a problem. The property grounds are beautiful and the beach access couldn’t be better.

The condo has everything you would need inside it. It’s cozy and comfortable. This condo complex has a beautiful courtyard and pool area in the centre with 10 surrounding buildings. I assumed all buildings bordered the courtyard, but this condo does not overlook the courtyard/pool area. It is in the second row. Instead there is a small ocean view from the lanai. When we arrived they didn’t have 2 boogie boards. After notifying the local representative they did order 2 more so hopefully the next guests benefit from them. We were offered a kayak trip instead which was great. The cooler was also missing but we had our own. We did not get quick responses from the local representative but he did eventually get back to us. Construction was occurring in the parking lot and in the next condo beside us, but they were considerate enough to not start too early or go too late. We were glad to be gone during the day as it could get loud. My kids enjoyed the pool noodles and sand toys. No air conditioning in the bedroom but 2 fans did the trick to keep the room cool enough. Our departure flight was leaving late in the day and the owner was gracious enough to give us a late checkout which was so helpful and appreciated. Overal Maui is a beautiful place and worth going to.

Everything about this place was perfect. The bed was super comfy with nice linens and beach towels. The condo had everything you could think of and more. Very nicely appointed with all the spices you need. The couch was very comfortable and clean and the overall place was nice and clean. Loved the big screen TVs to watch our football. The hosts deserve 5 stars for their attention to detail. Loved the welcome basket and toiletries that were available to us. They were very welcoming and concerned about our comfort at all times. We will definitely be back. Our best stay at the Sands so far.

We loved everything about the unit. Central AC was great! We will look for this unit when we are back on Maui. The only issue was the master bath shower doors. They need to be replaced. They are very difficult to open and close and you can’t have both doors fully closed all the way so it lets cold air into the shower. Very nice, quiet, updated unit.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience was exceptional. The condominium offered ample space, comfortably accommodating a family of four. Each morning, we enjoyed a breathtaking sunrise from the deck. The property amenities, including a gym, hot tub, and pool, provided an excellent way to conclude each day.The location proved highly advantageous, offering convenient walking access to various points of interest in Kihei. Furthermore, our central position facilitated easy highway access to destinations such as the Road to Hana, Haleakala, and West Maui.Costco is a mere 20-minute drive away.We eagerly anticipate our return.

This is a wonderful complex and a very nice unit. It had everything you might need while on vacation. We loved the quick walk to the beach and pool area. Host provided excellent communication and check in was very easy. Just a quick note that the second pullout bed in the living room is very firm and we found it uncomfortable. It would also be nice if there were drapes in the living room, so it wouldn’t be so bright in the morning. The host did double check with us on booking that we were aware of the bed situation, I just couldn’t find any other reviews about whether the pull out bed was comfortable or not.Overall an lovely trip.

This is a cozy and super comfortable rental, that is a little dated. It could use some love (replacing the primary bathroom faucet, replacing the tired beach chairs), but that overall we were super impressed with this place and can see ourselves staying here again. We loved how QUIET this unit was. We felt like the only ones in the building! Our family of 3 had plenty of space with the pull out couch. We made good use of the washer/dryer, and loved the walkout area of grass (full of Geckos!) right off the Lanai. It had everything we needed for a family that spends all day at the beach or out exploring, and is in a great location.We come yearly to Kihei, and we think this complex may be our new favorite. The pool area is very nice, it's a super quick walk to Kam 3, and the BBQ areas area all very clean (and one is right around the corner from this unit).Our first day, I commented on how nice the BBQs were, and then they were literally replaced with even nicer brand new units the next day! Love seeing that much love put into the grounds. We're hoping this unit can be our go-to unit whenever we need a one bedroom!

We loved our stay in this gorgeous Kihei penthouse for our family wedding week! The condo was spacious, spotless, and had amazing ocean views. The location was perfect — close to beaches, restaurants, and shops, but still peaceful and relaxing.Our host was so kind and responsive, and everything we needed was provided. On our last morning, we were lucky enough to see a full rainbow from the lanai — such a magical way to end an incredible week.Highly recommend this place and would love to stay again! Mahalo!

The unit was a real treat! This is a ground floor, end unit with great views to the ocean, the beaches and also a wonderfully landscaped green common area. Our daughter's family loved having the beach just a few steps away (across a street with low traffic volume). Great location, maybe the best in the entire Kamaole Sands development. The unit itself was very livable and comfortable for six people (four adults and two kids).For us, this was an ideal location. We were re-visiting this part of Maui to celebrate our daughter and son-in-law's 21st wedding anniversary. They were married south of this location in the Keawala'i Congregational Church in Makena. Overall, a great visit and stay!

November 2025

My husband and I had a wonderful time once again at Kamaole Sands. The condo was well-appointed, spotless, and beautifully decorated with a "beachy" theme. Sleeping was a dream on the comfy king bed with soft sheets and the sofa was comfortable as well for those moments when you needed a snooze. We appreciated the plush bath towels as well as the large beach towels, making it feel like home. Along with the Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella were boogie boards and a cooler. Breakfast on the lanai was a treat seeing the ocean in the distance, and we looked forward to dinners on the lanai with the tropical sunset. With the pool, hottub, gym, and beach across the road, what more could you ask for. Our host was amazing! He was easy to reach and always communicated quickly and efficiently. We will definitely stay here again. Mahalo.

Our first trip to Maui was amazing in large part due to the great property that Annette has. Kamaole Beach was a short and very convenient walk from the property. On this beach, we were visited by turtles in the water almost every day, and it is close to a wonderful snorkeling spot. The unit was located in the middle of the complex with a great view of the pool (which we used most days). We made good use of the kitchen and washer/dryer to feel right at home. The property is very well maintained, spacious, and felt very clean. We are excited to return to Maui in the future and will be staying at this place again!

This is a wonderful place for our trip to Maui! The condo was immaculate with a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals. There were also beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and a cooler to take to the beach. The grounds of the complex are beautiful. I've never stayed in Kihei, and there really is so much to do in the area. Snorkeling, fabulous restaurants, and shopping. I hope to stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was great for my husband, daughter and I. It was very comfortable and well equipped. We wanted to be oceanfront, but this was a good compromise to get the most things we wanted out of our vacation rental while still being super close to the beach. Comfortable accommodations (king size bed was very comfy novaform mattress, and even the twin Murphy beds were comfortable enough.) The kitchen had everything we needed, including some plastic snap ware which is super handy for packing beach lunches! There were a few minor things that came up and the rental agent Matt promptly replied to my early morning email and came to fix the items while we were out that day. The grounds at Kamaole Sands were well kept and beautiful, and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. The beach towels were a nice bonus, though we usually bring a few of our own, this meant we always had fresh towels. My only suggestion would be that the gray bath towels are swapped for white so they can be bleached between guests. The bath towels had that funky towel smell to them as soon as they get wet.
