Overall our stay was excellent. Property was clean and the property manager was very good at communicating with us. My only complaints are that the ac needs to be replaced (leaks onto lanai) and the lack of storage for leftovers. We bought and left 5 Tupperware containers so the next guests don’t have the same problem.

We had such an amazing stay here at Kamaole Beach Royale 409 for our first trip to Maui! The location is unbeatable, along with the sunrise and sunset views! Walkable to coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, the beach and more. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui!

Loved the condo and location. Big gantry and roof repair every day right outside our unit. This was not disclosed before we checked in.

We have been staying at KBR for many years. We have always loved the location and the units. Our complaint is this. KBR has become much less kid friendly than in years past. Being constantly pestered that our Grandkids were being too loud either in the pool (during daylight hours) or on the 7th floor trying to enjoy dinner together at sunset (by the older guests or owners). Either advertise as adult only or... let the kids have some fun so parents can enjoy a nice vacation without feeling the stress if our kids/grandkids make a peep. Location and units are fantastic... some owners and property maintenance guy (xxx) need to chill out a bit.

Really one of the cleanest condos we have stayed in. Been coming to Maui for 5 consecutive years now. I appreciate the hardwood flooring because carpet grosses me out. Place comes with umbrella, chairs, cooler. Wish the cooler was smaller for short trips to the beach, but really, if that's all I'm complaining about then that's ok. Less than 5 min walk to south end of kam 1 beach. Good view of the ocean and can even see whales spouting in the distance.

This condo had everything we needed — easy parking, central location, walkable to the beach, ocean views, full kitchen, and A/C. I have stayed in Kihei before so I knew what to expect. Another great feature were the shops next door for renting snorkel gear or buying groceries.

The unit was clean and comfortable. Kitchen well supplied with utensils etc. The only downside was the noise from traffic on South Kehei road.

Very nice accommodations. Great location , just a walk across the street to one of the nicest beaches in Maui .Plenty of beach necessities, including chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and so on. There’s also a little market and shopping center within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

From the very beginning to the very end we had the best customer service from this place. Todd and Jace, thankyou!!! Also I used to live here and know the area very well. This condo is in the BEST location. It also had everything we needed!

2nd time in this building, first in this unit. We like this location for the restaurants next door, and the close access to beach plus the food truck park/shopping area just a mile north. Saw a turtle and fish swimming with just googles this visit at the beach across the street. Only complaints/reqquest would be to bump up your soap provided (2 very small-silver dollar sized soaps in bathroom for sink and shower), and an inexpensive boogie board would be handy. Thought the bed was comfortable. Appliances all worked etc. and plenty of storage space for clothes when unpacking.

This location is PERFECT! First day we saw whales breaching from the lanai. The only minor issue we had was getting the bedroom cool enough. There is ac, but it’s in the main room. Most nights we would open all the windows to cool off the apartment; but if it wasn’t very windy, that back room was a little warm. They had a couple of fans that really helped, though. Otherwise, amazing stay! We’ll definitely come back! We greatly appreciated the beach chairs , too!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was very well stocked with supplies and the location and views were perfect!! Whales putting on a show right out front everyday! Pretty much everything we could want or need was within blocks. Major bonuses were the rooftop deck with quality bbqs and the Aloha room on the main floors. When you were at the beach or pool, the Aloha room was so convenient for our use. Rooftop was so much fun to meet others staying in the building with big tables for groups of people to eat/ drink and enjoy the sunset views . We will definitely be back!!!!

The condo had everything we needed! Loved the location and the views. The bed was a bit uncomfortable to us. We prefer a softer bed. We also had a little trouble with the bedroom tv - but probably user error! Other than that, everything was great and I would definitely recommend it!

The management company tried to help and were very accessible, but there is a serious cockroach problem in this condo. I didn't use the kitchen for that reason, but the bugs were other places as well. I have been coming to Kihei for twelve years and have never had an issue like this with bugs before. While the location was great, I didn't have a good time here because of the bugs running around me all the time I was here.

Great location and unit. The building is easily accessible to the beach. Minimum two minute walk. the space was very comfortable and quiet. The only issue was the bugs in the kitchen, we understand that this isn’t the property owners fault.
It was easy to check in and the communication with instructions was very detailed. They checked in to see if we needed anything during our day.

This condo has excellent location and excellent ocean view (especially if you like sunsets). It is very close to one of the best beaches of Kihei (Kamaole I). It is very well equipped too: you have everything you need even if you prefer cooking at home. Beds are very comfortable, even the folding sofa. Beach accessories (chairs, umbrella and towels) is also a pleasant addition. We will definitely recommend this condo to our friends.

nice place to stay, great location, ocean view, love the sunset from the balcony. The only thing I would suggest to have central AC or one more unit in master bedroom.
June 2023
This property is absolutely perfect! The condo is clean and has everything you need for a trip. Location is wonderful. The beach in front of property is frequented by many turtles. Our first day there was a turtle sleeping on the sand and the next day we saw 6 turtles swimming within 2 hours! Plus great food in all directions. Perfect place for a trip in Maui!

Loved this property! My husband And I had the pleasure of staying here (Condo could certainly accommodate a small family). Absolutely great location and very clean! Everything you need was provided from beach gear, kitchen utilities, and bathroom products! The bed was comfortable and linens were soft! We would definitely stay here again.
Condo has also been renovated and new floors were put in from original photos we saw when booking, such a great surprise!
Thank you for a great experience!

Beautiful location steps from and overlooking Kamaole Beach 1. Very walkable to dining, activities, and convenient stores. The room was as described with a pull out couch and king bed in the bedroom, plenty of kitchen furnishings as well as beach chairs, umbrella, mat, towels and some sand toys. Perfect for our family of four.

We love staying in this property when we come to Maui. The building is clean, friendly, quaint and an excellent location. We’ve stayed in several units here and this one is great! The only thing I would say is it’s not stocked with basics like spices, sugar, coffee filters, but that was ok as it’s super convenient location. Also, I love this property management company-they are truly at your service! I forgot my bikini in the dryer and they shipped it back to me! Mahalo! We’ll definitely be back.

Loved the ability to access 3-4 beaches in walking distance. Food is sparse nearby but with car you have ample choices. We opted to eat in, Foodland was a great choice with their food saving program. They were so friendly. The place was clean and what I expected.

Perfect location, and it means perfect. Walking distance to the beach, middle of everything, right next to the strip mall, etc.. Balcony is very nice, kitchen is nice, washer/dryer is very convenient. Can't think of anything bad. We are not tall or big, so smaller sized bathroom didn't bother us at all. Pull out bed mattress is much nicer than other ones I see! Abundant towels, beach equipments, etc.. definitely recommended. We enjoyed the stay greatly.
Thank you!!

This is a great property a 2 min walk from one of the best beaches on Maui for kids. The unit is updated, comfortable, and clean. The unit had everything we needed to cook for a week. There are BBQs on the shared top deck of the building. There is a smaller pool which is a great size for kids. This unit has AC which we did use on a few occasions to cool down the living room before bed. There are restaurants, ice cream, convenience store, gas station, snorkel and body board rentals next door, and surf lessons and large shaded playground within 15 minute walking distance. The wi-fi had clear instructions and was easy to set up.
The property manager was responsive, clearly communicated everything we needed, and great to work with.
Our only challenge was the pull-out-couch - as a bed it heavily sagged toward the middle and the head. We put the kids on it propped up with pillows and they managed, but it needs to be fixed. Otherwise it is a great unit and we'd love to stay again :)

Everything with the property was great we loved the unit! Only unclean part was the ceiling in the bedroom has a lot of dust hanging from it. That’s just a suggestion though we loved everything else!

This condo is stunning! Amazing views, terrific location, and all the amenities one could wish for in a Hawaiian vacation rental. We've stayed in this complex on and off for 30 years, in fact stayed in this unit 15 years ago, and can't say enough about this particular unit. The indoor great room and large outdoor space are perfect for getting together with family and friends. The remodel that occurred since our last stay has improved it immeasurably -- tasteful decor, fully equipped kitchen, nice appliances and comfortable furniture. We especially enjoyed chatting around the outdoor fire table after enjoying the sunset each evening, and preparing meals in our private outdoor barbecue/dining area. During these pandemic times, this unit was so self-contained we felt very safe, and were able to feel the joy of vacationing again. Our host was most responsive and helpful and we're grateful for their hospitality...can't wait to return!

Kamole Beach Royale ("KBR") a true gem, if you want to stay in S. Khiei STAY HERE!! Super easy beach access ("Kam1") literally right across street, probably shorter walk from unit-to-ocean than many resorts. Very nice pool. Love being short walking distance to stores and restaurants (Whalers, health food, great bakery, Thai food, gelato, more!!) and just a mile walk/short drive to best breakfast (Kihei Cafe) affordable great seafood (Paia Fish Market), South Shore Tiki Bar, Foodland market and much more. Also just a few miles north of Wailea beaches and resorts: take the provided Tommy Bahama chairs to free parking (or nice long beachwalk to) at Wailea Beach or Polo Beach and rub elbow with the folks paying $1500+/nite. Or, just enjoy breakfast, lunch, cocktail hour, and of course sunset from the unit's lanai...mostly ocean view (just a bit of beach view) but soooo beautiful!!! Also, the management company (Todd) was super responsive to emails and very helpful with everything!
Few notes on why I gave overall 4 (4.5 really) instead of 5, noting I'd ABSOLUTELY stay in this unit again...heck, wish I could live here!! I've stayed at KBR twice before, on higher floors and more updated units...also more expensive units. Compared to those:
--The air conditioning unit is rather loud when out on the lanai.
--As others mentioned, no bedrom a/c...using two provided fans to blow the air from the living room into the bedroom totally solves this issue though, just something to be aware of.
--Unit does have some upgrades (kitchen counters, cabinets...) but not as upgraded as others.
--5th/6th floor units have better beach view.
--This particular unit, due to the way the units on the right/north jut out a few feet, doesn't have as north-facing panoramic view of West Maui as other units. THE VIEWS ARE AMAZING, don't get me wrong (hope VRBO lets me post pictures), just not as wide/panoramic to the north as others.
Clarifying that none of these things impacted our enjoyment nor would dissuade me from booking this unit again; just mentioning if looking to compare to higher priced upper floor units.
In summary, KBR is the best value in S. Kihei, Todd is a great host, this 4th floor unit has views that will blow your mind, and you will cry when you have to leave. Book this now!!!
