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).
This summary is based on a comprehensive analysis of 1000 reviews
Overall the unit was in good condition. It would be nice if the pickle ballers used the quiet balls . Pool , barbecue, and grounds are in nice condition. And across the street from a nice beach. Had a good time.

Check in was easy and the condo is well stocked with towels, sheets, and cook-wear. Also appreciated all the beach chairs and beach toys. This condo is modern and very nice. A short walk across the street to the beach and take in the sunset.

Nioce condo close walking distance to beaches, shops, equipment rental places, ice cream. Nice that it had the three seperate sleeping spaces with actual beds. We were there with our 2 adult kids so everyone had their own space. Not sure how recently it was remodeled. Living room seating for 4-5 really but worked fine for us. Beach chairs and towels, enough dishes in the kitchen, sunset views, pool view, one flight up to the door, close parking

Mary’s Maui rental is lovely! Its prime location, stocked kitchen, great beach items and the comfy beds make it a must stay. Mary is very easy to work with. Looking forward to coming back.

Great location, right across from the beach. Kitchen had all utencils needed. The master bedroom could use black out curtains because the shades let in the nighttime building lighting.

House had lots of cooking supplies, and chairs and beach toys. Much appreciated! My only complaint is the bed and pillows were so soft my back didn’t love it! Host was easy to work with.

Host is very accommodating but the unit needs a lot of updating inside the unit, bedroom air conditioner did not keep room cool, handle on refrigerator is broken as well as inside the door shelves, washer and dryer have nibs missing I could continue but there are just too many issues to mention.

The condo was in a good location and close to our favorite snorkel sites. The amenities in the condo are in need of a refresh. The furniture was worn and dirty. The one pan has a lot of the Teflon scratched off and needs to be replaced. The towels were similar to those found in low tier motels. The cleaning was below our expectations. I dropped an earring behind the night stand and when I pulled out the night stand it was so dirty behind it and under the bed. The lining area had dust balls on the ceiling near the fan and along the wall above the couch.I would not consider this unit in the summer since the window AC could barely keep the unit cool enough in the winter. The complex needs to turn on outside lights. The times we arrived or left in the dark it was very hard to negotiate the stairway and the hallways were very dark.

This is a truly wonderful place to stay.First class all the way. Right across from the ocean, whales about 300 feet out. Close access to pretty much everything. Extremely clean and comfortable. Mary was a super host. We will be back at some point. You will be extremely pleased if you decide to book with Mary...pictures and details are very accurate.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and comfortable. Anthony was very responsive. It had everything we needed. The view from the Lanai was beautiful. The condo is so incredibly close to the beach. We would just take the chairs and umbrella and head out everyday to get sun and watch the sunset. It's close to restaurants and markets. We could just walk to happy hour. We could even see the NYE fireworks. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Paradise.

Room was quite spacious, clean and comfortable and walking distance to beach. It has everything needed to have a long, comfortable stay. No air conditioner needed with fans and open windows, which we loved. 2 baths and washer/dryer were extra nice and kitchen was well outfitted. There was noise at times from people in the hallways or pool parking lot or garbage trucks from the street right behind the lanai, but usually this noise was temporary. The pool area was overrun with children throwing balls and splashing, including on the hot tub which was maybe 98 degrees. Sign said no one under 5 years old but there were 4 under 5 plus 5 more kids and adult parents who didn’t care. So we avoided the pool but the beaches are great!! The condo unit had all needed for the beach—chairs, umbrella, towels, etc. great location near everything we wanted. We would stay there again for sure.

This was the perfect vacation rental for our two families of 3 (4 adults and 2 kids total). We loved the set up of the rooms and utilized all of the amenities offered for this property. We are definitely keeping this location in mind when we return to Maui in the next few months!

The condo was perfect for our family vacation! Tony is wonderful. He is accommodating and available if you need anything from him. The pictures do not do the unit justice. There is nothing like it close to the beach in Kihei you at the price Tony offers the unit. 2 bedroom, 2 bath - plus loft area with 2 twins. The patio overlooks the pool and has an ocean view. It’s a beautiful place to sit and relax. Everything was clean with fresh with new linens and towels. We loved our stay and will be back! Also- Lots of beach gear in the patio closet you can take with you across the street to the beautiful little beach - which is perfect for swimming and sun bathing. Thank you for everything Tony!

This condo was the perfect option for our family of five. The pool was very clean with plenty of chairs. This is a nice quiet complex and always had parking available. It's an easy walk to beach across street. The unit had everything we needed including a new washer dryer, comfortable firmer mattresses and soft bedsheets. Each bedroom had a separate AC unit which was great for our different needs. I especially loved the local artwork all throughout the unit. Our family was very comfortable here and we hope to stay again!

We loved staying at HK 150. The updates in this unit are luxurious and substantial. Very clean and well appointed. Really make you feel special. Sitting at the back of the property is nice and with a beautiful view of the ocean. I loved walking before the sun rose to enjoy how the colors changed in the sky and the beautiful property.
