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.
Hale Kamaole draws rave reviews for its prime, walkable location right across from Kamaole Beach Park III. Guests love strolling to the sand for snorkeling with turtles, boogie boarding, and nightly sunsets, then returning to well‑kept grounds with two pools, spotless BBQ areas (charcoal and gas), tennis/pickleball courts, and expansive lawns. The complex feels friendly and low‑key, with responsive onsite staff and many helpful, communicative hosts. Numerous condos have been remodeled and are described as clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked—full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, plenty of towels, and beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards).
Families and groups highlight the spacious layouts (including lofts), lanais with ocean or Haleakalā views, and a central base that’s minutes from Kihei’s shops, cafes, and Wailea’s beaches—often at better value than nearby resorts. Practical touches stand out: beach closets, well‑equipped kitchens, elevators in parts of the complex, and quick maintenance support when needed. Many units now feature living‑room A/C or mini‑splits in addition to bedroom units, which guests appreciate after warm afternoons.
Most drawbacks are unit‑specific and come down to variability. Some condos feel dated or need a deeper clean; a handful mention tropical pests (ants/cockroaches), loud or bedroom‑only A/C that leaves living areas and lofts warm, or minor maintenance hiccups (dishwashers, remotes, fixtures). Front‑row buildings can pick up road noise and early‑rising roosters, and the pools skew cool with fairly strict rules. Starter supplies (TP/soap/condiments) and beach gear quality vary by owner, parking can be less convenient late at night, and elevator access isn’t universal. To set expectations, read recent unit reviews, confirm A/C locations (mini‑split vs. window unit), and choose building/level based on your priorities (view vs. quiet vs. ground‑floor access).

Great location. Code was wrong when we got there. Place was nice. Parking was great, as long as you are there during the office hours.

The condo could use an overall good cleaning. A heads up about the extra bugs would have been nice. Also the pool gate code changed and we didn't get a notice about that either.

Lovely condo with plenty of space to spread out with kids. This condo has everything you need with plenty of kitchen supplies and fun beach items in the balcony closet. Beautiful view from the balcony. Condo was very clean and well maintained. Easy to get to various beaches or restaurants/shopping. Highly recommend!

The pool was great! The AC was locked at 72. With the Storm the humidity was awful so sleeping was an issue. The bed was amazing though!

It’s wonderful. Looks exactly like the photos advertised.Beach was closer than I thought. Everything we needed was there except we wished there was a smaller cooler to use at the beach. There was only a large one.

My friend and I loved the location- right across the street from a great swimming and snorkeling beach and short drive (7-10 min) or a 30 min walk to the main part of Kīhei with great food options. The apartment has a great patio with a small view of the ocean and the pool area. The pull out couch was great so we could sleep in different rooms. Check in was easy as was all communication. Missing Kihei already!

We had an amazing stay at this condo. Darrell was incredibly responsive and helpful, especially during the reservation process through VRBO, which wasn’t the easiest to navigate. The condo itself is very spacious, and everyone in our family appreciated having their own comfortable bed. The view from the lanai was absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend!

This unit is great and the entire condo complex is very well kept and perfectly located near one of the best beaches on Maui—Keawakapu Beach, an enormously long sandy beach. We have stayed here many times and we’ll be back.

We have stayed at this condo before and will stay at the same condo again. Just steps away from the pickle ball court. Priced right and a great location to our favorite beaches. The Hale Kamaole allows pickle ball at their court unlike the condo's next store and there is always some good games to watch from our lanai. The property host is very easy to contact and very responsive.

Lived the view of the ocean from our lanai!Location is awesome…so close to beaches ,especially Keawakapu!!Proximity to restaurants is great too. Would have lived just a sample of coffee in our room just to tide us over til we went to store but otherwise great.

We were there for the Kona Low storm. We felt safe and secure in this unit. Enjoyed the privacy of the large lānai that had sun and shade areas. The outside closet had lots of beach supplies.

A lovely home away from home for our week and a half on Maui. Highly recommend this listing. The views from the lanai were amazing, and it is right by the pool and beach. Everything was clean and well thought out. Plenty of items for the beach and exploring the island from towels to coolers, toys, and chairs. Many kitchen supplies were also provided along with all of the utensils you can think of, and there was a rice cooker! No issues with the temperature in the unit; bonus the coolness of the trade winds coming across the apartment was very refreshing. Communication and response from Mary, our host, was quick when needed. Hopefully we get to come back and experience Maui again. We highly recommend staying here.

Love the proximity to the beach! Parking was easy and the house had everything we needed. Only downside was that the in-unit A/C was loud and only really cooled the main bedroom.

We loved our stay! Everything was as advertised! All the little things were there and made a huge difference. Extra containers for left overs, etc. The only frustrating thing was the windows really rattled in the wind in the upstairs bedroom. Had to wear ear plugs to sleep when it was windy. Otherwise it was fabulous.

Loved everything about our stay!! The best was talking to Tony (Host)on the phone and visiting with his friend Irene. We appreciated their warm and friendly attitude and service. They did everything to make our stay wonderful. We were there during a powerful storm and flooding. They did everything possible to check on us and make us feel comfortable.

We had a big Kona storm the duration of our stay, so it was not a typical Maui experience, road closures, local beaches closed, no snorkeling, or normal beach activities. Chris was great though and we enjoyed the condo. we made the best of what we could do ,but not sunny beach weather we anticipated.

This unit was wonderfully fresh, well appointed and fully stocked for guests. It's in close proximity to the pool and the beach, with a lovely view from the lanai. It's an easy walk to shops and restaurants and an easy drive to other points of interest in the area. Our host Anthony is an exceptional communicator and made sure we had everything we need to check in and fully enjoy the unit. We'll be back! :)

![Hale Kamaole Condo with Ocean & Volcano View]()
The condo exceeded our expectations! Firstly, the owners are very friendly and obviously want you to enjoy your stay. The unit itself is VERY clean, with enough space for our group of 6 adults to hole up during the Kona storm. The loft area was larger than anticipated,with space for luggage around the queen-sized bed. The downstairs bathroom is off the hallway; it could be accessed by the early-rising loft-dwellers without going thru a bedroom. The kitchen has plenty of glassware (for the daughter who can't cook but makes a great cocktail) and pots/pans & utensils (for the daughter who uses every available pan when cooking). Having the basics (spices, condiments, coffee filters, aluminum foil) reduced our grocery shopping time and got us to the local Tiki Lounge a bit earlier our first night. The lanai closet is packed with beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers and a wagon to transport it all to a great beach just across the street. Parking was always available near the unit, even late at night, and there is an elevator (for those with daughters who overpack). Great place that we'd love to come back to--when the weather is better. :)

Awesome as described. Viewed whales. minute to beach. Next to keihei boat ramp. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. TVs in unit are not smart TVs. Upgrading the TVs will definitely help families with kids like us.

Due to the unit's carpeting, furniture and fixtures being so dated, can only give it 4 stars. However, the location is 5 stars. Easy walk to several beaches, shops, and restaurants.Having the loft with extra beds worked for our party of 6. Used the properties grill a lot, however had to buy my own utensils. No response from Myperfectstays management company about if there were any! And they didn't answer phone (during business hour)and could tell any written communication was AI generated and worthless.Everything in unit worked without issue.Would stay at the property again, but only in a unit that has been updated and used the on-site management company.

Sad to leave! We had a great stay at this condo, it was clean, very comfortable with nice bedding, furniture etc. Nice and modern with beautiful island /counter &seating instead of a table! Outdoor furniture was comfortable and we enjoyed being on the shady side of the complex. Beach equipment was great and even a wagon to haul items around. The owner Gail was very responsive. Would love to stay here again in the future, Thank you:)

The room had a peek-a-boo ocean view. It was quite clean. I would have appreciated coffee for each day’s stay. The takeaway treats were a nice touch. Mahalo

The unit was as advertised. The amenities were great - A/C is only in the bedrooms, but fans and cross ventilation keep the main space manageable on hot days. The pool area was clean and enjoyable but there is limited access to shade during the heat of the day. It is a very easy and short walk to Kam 3 Beach. Our host was easily accessible through text. The instructions for entering the unit were a little confusing but when we figured out that a key wasn’t needed (as the instructions indicated) because there was a keypad entry, it was great! We would definitely consider staying here again if we return to Maui.

Everything about our stay was 10/10! My mom, sister and I traveled to Maui to celebrate my sisters 40th birthday. This was the perfect place for us. Everything inside the condo was clean and comfortable. Literally has everything you need to make meals at home. Our favorite part was the lanai, We enjoyed sitting outside every morning with our coffee, watching the sun come up on one side and whales out in the ocean on the other. The location in Kihei is perfect. Only about a block distance to walk to the beach, and walking distance to some shops and restaurants, including Coconuts and The Cinnamon Roll Place. The supply of items to use for the beach are endless for adults and kids. We hope to make it back again someday and would absolute stay here again. Thank you so much for everything!
