The unit was nicely appointed however sparsely equipped for rental.
Cleanliness left something to be desired as a towel and facecloth still had makeup on them and towels were all damp. There was no kettle and some silverware still had food on it and was placed in the drawer. The cleaning fee was reimbursed.
There was salt and pepper flakes as the only condiments.
Information provided upon checkin regarding the internet was incorrect however fortunately the owner had the correct info on what appeared to be a second modem.
The biggest issue we had was the charge for the room which wasn’t noticed until the final payment. The unit had been advertised as $529 CDN/night which was a premium from an equivalent unit we had moved from. Regardless I booked it to be close to friends who were also staying in the building. Instead we were billed $529 US/night which became $700 US or nearly $1000 CDN which is astronomical for Kihei.
It took some doing but it was finally straightened out with VRBO.
The pluses - once the fee was sorted out - it is a nice unit in a well maintained complex. The cleaning however was poor and needed to be remedied. The unit also could use some more supplies considering what it is being rented out at.

The description of unit A-103 states “newly remodeled,” but this is either an outright lie or the cheapest material and labor was used. My family and I have been to Maui over half a dozen times and stay at Maui Kamaole every time. This is the only time I’ve been very disappointed with the unit we reserved. We arrived to find the floors and counters covered in filth and had to call management to have someone come in to mop and clean up crumbs, coffee grounds, and stains. The sofa and armchairs were dated and stained. Everything just looked old and plain. There was also beach equipment in a closet but a few things (umbrella and a kid’s boogie board) were broken. The only bright side is that this unit had a very great ocean view from the lanai.

Unit location is great. Have stayed in this unit a number of times. However, some of the furnishings need to be upgraded and the unit needs a deep cleaning. The Fridge should be replaced - ice maker doesn’t work and it doesn’t maintain a proper temp. Kitchen utensils lacking ie no cookie sheet or baking pan - which we bought and left there.

This rental agency was great...very responsive to questions and concerns. The unit itself did not measure up to my expectations. The furniture is worn, some stained, and a very uncomfortable couch. The mattress is likewise in need of replacing...lumpy and uncomfortable.There was an ample supply of bath towels, but only one beach towel and one useable beach chair. There was a broken beach chair that really ought to be discarded. The photos show a lounge chair on the patio, but there isnt one. Photos should be updated or find the lounge!There were enough dishes for the unit, but an oddly mismatched jumble of kinds (some glass, mismatched TV setup is difficult—I had to call for assistance to get it to work. I was surprised there was no TV in the bedroom.The view is wonderful, but there are similar units on the property with similar views. I would definitely stay at Maui Kamaole again, but not in unit A-103. Not sure what parts of this condo were “newly remodeled—-possibly tile work in the bathrooms?

The location and views are perfect. It was nice that beach chairs and boogie boards were provided. The master bathroom shower could be cleaner and there was a big stain on the living room couch. Overall we were happy with the place.

It was AWESOME! The view from the front room nad patio are unbeatable!Our ONLY issue was that the TV was not very usable. I finally figured out how to get free movies online, but nothing else really worked. Overall, a wonderful experience. Loved the pool, reserved parking spot, location, A/C. The bed was comfy. We'll be back!

I stayed at the property with my kids, along with my sister and her family, each in separate 1br/2ba units with ocean views. My unit (A103) certainly had the better ocean view of the two, but the interior amenities were comparatively lacking. For instance, my sister's unit (H106) was impeccably modernized and decorated while mine looked like it hadn't been painted or redecorated since the late 80's, with dated, uncomfortable (and oddly GIANT) wicker furniture throughout the living room. Her kitchen was fully stocked with oils and spices, while mine did not even include salt and pepper (we ended up buying some while we were in town). Her unit had an abundance of beach towels and gear, while mine had significantly less gear, including a broken boogie board, a rusted/bent and unusable beach umbrella, and only a single beach towel. We ended up buying beach towels while we were in town because bringing bath towels to the beach felt silly. The management company could alleviate some of this by maintaining minimum standards for amenities in the kitchen and the linen closet, and the owners could definitely do more to beautify the interior. Overall, we enjoyed the property pools, Kihei, and the surrounding areas so much that the lackluster interior of our unit was only a blip, but it was a bit frustrating upon arrival to see that we had paid the same price as the others in our group for significantly less. I wish we'd known how widely the unit interiors would vary when we booked.

Our unit was conveniently located near the front of the development with a beautiful ocean view from the lanai. It was clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The only minor issue was the lack of beach accessories. An umbrella and at least two beach chairs (there was one) would have been appreciated and enough beach towels for the capacity of the unit.

Despite the incredible view from this unit, I would not rent it again. It was equipped with what seemed like a bunch of left overs from other units. No sink drain or dust pan which took 3 calls to obtain. Only 1 beach chair, too many pots and pans, no storage containers, very cluttered unorganized poorly equipped kitchen.

Our Condo was very nice, clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. The internet was not working in our unit but we were not there enough to worry about getting it fixed. Too beautiful of a place to spend time indoors.

the unit was in very good condition. Only issue was the AC units in living room and bedroom were very loud, even if they were on low. The tile floors also did not appear to have been mopped.

This property does have great view and is conveniently located to the beaches but renters should be aware that this condo needs some attention. The living and dining room furniture are soiled, stained and the cushions are threadbare. The bedding in the photo is not what you will find. This condo was one of the most under provisioned properties we’ve rented. For a 12 day stay, we were given 4 garbage bags, 4 dishwasher pods, 1 small box of laundry soap, 4 dryer sheets, 5 small baggies and some plastic wrap. The condo feels as if it is renter-proof. The kitchen items are a hodge podge of thrift shop purchases including the dishes. The towels and beach items are the same. We have rented properties around the world and have felt the host provides a welcome environment. This one did not.

Views of sunset every night from the lana'i, plus a short walk to one of the best snorkeling/swimming/playing/picnicing beaches to be found anywhere. Nice to have access to a swimming pool as well, and the unit itself was just fine for our needs.
