First, a disclaimer. This isn’t our first time to Kamaole Sands. We come nearly every year and usually rent a one bedroom with some sort of convertible bed in the living room. So this review is comparing this condo rental experience to similar units.
What we wished we would have known. First, the sliding door on the lanai is in serious need of maintenance. Instead of taking care of it property management simply puts a sign on the door advising “open slowly”. That is the only way it opens - slowly, with much effort. The track needs maintenance and management just put it back on the renters to solve themselves. Given how often we use the lanai, this was a serious headache for us. Yes, I did communicate with them about this issue 2 days into our trip. No, they didn’t respond 9 days later.
A couple more things, and this is just me being picky - but hey we spent several thousand dollars on our stay here …
Everything about this place feels cheap and done for the appearance of pictures and “upgrades”. The laminate flooring is not installed properly leaving multiple edges for you to catch your toes on. The bathroom doesn’t have anywhere for you to hang a towel to dry. No measuring cups, mixing bowels, or pancake turner in the kitchen. Bar stools are way too short for the bar. And the hide-a-bed … easily the most uncomfortable bed we’ve ever slept on. We just ended up sleeping on the floor. Hope management addresses these issues and communicates with renters better in the future.

KS is a beautiful property, very well managed, grounds are pristine, pools & common bbq areas are exceptionally clean. Unit 8-101, is at back of the complex, in a very quiet, private locale. No view of pools or ocean on the small lanai, BUT it is encircled with foliage & the sound of birds & quiet breeze is perfect. No pool noise etc. It less than a 1 minute walk from parking spot to the unit. Complex is laid out in such a way that it is a short walk, to the bbq, pool, main street & Kamaole Beach. Unit is spacious, (especially for just 2 adults) & VERY clean. BEDROOM: king size bed is really comfortable, excellent linens, pillows & sheets. It is at front of unit & gets quite warm but owner has 2 high quality stand up fans & an overhead one that helps keep you cool through the night. ENSUITE: bright, clean, nice quality towels, lots of storage for your own essentials & if you don’t want to share, there’s a second bathroom. (super picky, the ensuite bathtub is going to need to be reglazed but it was still very clean). One suggestion is to add some over the door hooks, there needs to be a few more areas (other than the closet) to hang clothes that don’t need to be washed & can be worn again. LIVING ROOM: The furniture, is all very nice, comfortable, tasteful, nice tv, A/C (works in that open area only not the bedroom). We did open the sofa bed to see if we could sleep out there on one super hot evening & the mattress is far too thin for adults, (probably ok for little kids). KITCHEN: Open concept with living room, excellent appliances, super clean, 4 seater dining table. Has everything for cooking & bbq, coffee, blender drinks etc. I suggest more glasses (less plastic) & some insulated cups for poolside. Laminate floors, plenty of cleaning supplies to keep things tidy for longer stays, inc. ensuite washer/dryer. Owner provides, beach towels, chairs, mats, extra towels & linens. We comfortably spent 2weeks. I would stay again in this unit

Master bedroom was not well cooled! Fans were the only mode of cooling! With 80 plus degrees and humidity definitely was in need of more! Place needed remodeling but understand owners are now selling place and in market

Rental experience was fantastic. This was my first time in Hawaii and my first time renting out on Airbnb. My wife and I had a great experience. Everything was clean. Worth the $$$

Glad we found this vacation rental. The location was convenient for many reasons. Instructions to enter the premises, checking-in were very easy. The place was great for our family. The house also offered beach chairs and snorkling gear. We could use the kitchen for some little cooking in the evenings. Overall a great place to rent for Maui vacation.

The bed in this unit is unacceptably bad. With simple hand pressure, you can collapse the bed springs all the way down to the box spring. For the price you are charging, this is really surprising to offer your guests such a frustratingly uncomfortable sleeping situation. Fix the mattress and the unit is fantastic.

This was a wonderful condo. It was very clean, quiet and well equipped with all we needed. The location was excellent, especially since we needed to use buses. We were pleased to have two baths and a comfortable sofa bed as well as the queen size bed in bedroom

We stay at this complex most of the time when we come to Maui. Right across from the beach and great facilities.

We loved this location bc it was quiet and away from crowds, however... the tiny A/C couldn't keep up even with multiple fans. This was really the only issue, but if you need A/C below 78 degrees, you will be uncomfortable.

Only issue was the Wifi password had been changed and the management company was not made aware of this change so I had to wait a day to get connected so I could work. Yes it wasn’t a holiday. Also the AC unit needs to be changed as it won’t drop below 70 degrees and the room never truly cools down. The owner maybe trying to save on energy cost but I wouldn’t stay in that unit again unless it was a new AC unit. Hope this is helpful
