What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 184 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

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.

Guests rave about Kamaole One’s unbeatable, truly beachfront setting on Charley Young/Kamaole I Beach. You step from your lanai or lawn straight onto soft sand—no roads to cross—making sunrise coffees, sunset viewing, whale and turtle sightings, and quick dips effortless. The vibe is relaxed and low-key with a local, non–mega-resort feel, yet the Kihei location is central and walkable to cafes, food trucks, South Maui Gardens, shops, and gear rentals, and convenient for exploring the island.

Units are consistently described as clean, comfortable, and well stocked, many of them tastefully updated. Kitchens tend to be impressively equipped and there’s abundant beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, snorkel sets). Families appreciate the easy beach access, outdoor showers, and layouts that work well for 3–4 guests; ground-floor units are especially convenient with kids. Many mention excellent, responsive hosts and smooth check-ins, and a high number of repeat stays speaks to overall satisfaction.

Common nuances are mostly minor and vary by unit: some interiors feel more dated than others, a few appliances or bathrooms could use refreshing, and loft bedrooms (where present) offer great views but allow sound to travel. AC setups differ (central in some, bedroom units or trade-wind breezes in others), so a few guests found certain rooms warmer. Parking can be tight, occasional Wi‑Fi or TV hiccups and rare construction/road noise were reported, and there’s no pool. Overall, though, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive: the true-on-the-sand location, sunsets, snorkeling, and walkability make Kamaole One a standout choice many plan to return to.

the condo had everything! just steps from the beach but the ground floor lanai had a lawn and hedge to separate it from public lands. the condo was immaculate and extremely well-maintained. the kitchen had everything you would want. there were coolers and beach chairs/umbrella to borrow. it was easily walkable to businesses, restaurants, food trucks. host was very responsive when we had questions, and he provided a notebook which described many things to do, places to eat, etc on the island.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was the perfect condo for our 10 day stay. The place was very clean and well stocked up with everything we needed to cook, ice maker to supply ice for our cocktails. The beds were very comfortable and well stocked slept very well. I would definitely recommend the condo for our family and friends. I almost forgot the location of the condo was perfect for the beach. Which was a short walk 2 minutes from the condo.

Holy Kamaole is a true gem! The location cannot be beat - just steps from the sand, mostly locals on the beach in the morning and the most glorious sunsets! The condo was spacious, well cared for and clean. It was also one of the best stocked condos we have ever stayed at. We had a couple of issues the day we arrived - smoke alarm going off, and the washing machine waiting on a part. But Adam was instantly responsive and sent his handyman immediately to address the issues, and on a Sunday. Adam was an excellent host, and assisted us with some additional parking needs and late check-out. We hope to return to Holy Kamaole again! Thanks for everything Adam and Sherry!

Wonderful retreat to South Kihei at Kamaole! What a gem of a location with impeccable decor, and everything a visitor would need for a comfortable two week vacation. The ground floor beachfront access was awesome for easy access to our morning beach walks, paddleboarding, surfing, and ocean lap swims. Nice outdoor shower nestled in tropical vegetation after walks and swims was special. Owners left a handy notebook filled with suggested restaurants, shops, and places to visit. We actually never ventured far because where we were at was PERFECT!! Hope to return again soon and stay in the same spot!! Loved the small scale complex…Just an overall wonderful place to stay. Thank you!

Excellent location and the home was well stocked with everything we needed. From coffee pot, espresso machine, rice cooker, snorkel gear, laundry soap, and much more. No issues what so ever and you can tell the hosts want to make it easy for the guests to situate themselves in the home.

Wonderful location, gorgeous few, convenient to restaurants and stores. The photos make the place look bigger than it really is a . one bedroom has limited storage space for clothing however, the view and location more then made up for all this in our opinion.

Property was even better than the pictures. Well maintained. Everything you could need was thought of and provided to include beach gear. Location could not be beat, walkable to great local food and shopping. The highlight is surely the view and the beach just outside your door. Saw several turtles swimming and enjoyed sunsets and hearing the waves.

Holy Kamaole is pure paradise! Steps from the sand. You can hear the surf from inside the condo. Views from the living area and one of the bedrooms. Walking distance from so many restaurants, food trucks, and South Maui Gardens. The pictures on VRBO are spot on. The property is clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated and the owners were very responsive. We could not have asked for a better place to spend time with family. We would love to return!

What a great condo right on one of the best beaches in Kihei. We loved getting up in the morning and walking the beach with coffee without having to cross streets or walk to a beach. The unit is perfectly furnished with everything you need. We were looking for a relaxed vacation with a local, non-resort feel and this delivered! We did visit a few other beaches and every time we came back we said this was the best because it was not crowded during our stay and the snorkeling was great. We plan on returning for our next Maui vacation!

Beautiful, well cared for and well stocked condo in a central location steps from the beach; it was perfect for my parents’ first trip to Hawaii (and for two couples). Within walking distance of great food/bakery, beaches, places to rent snorkel gear and SUPs, and a grocery/health food store. Owners were super responsive to the few questions I had about late checkin and items at the condo and had more than we needed (plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, dishes, etc.) It made our stay easy, super comfortable and very relaxing. My parents were already talking about when they could come back (all the way from Michigan)! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Our week in Kihei was beautiful. This property is steps to the beach. We were able to snorkel with fish and turtles right outside. Easy to sun bathe, swim, snorkel, and take breaks with a bathroom and full kitchen just steps away. The owners are quick to respond as well as keep a fully stocked house, including all kitchen needs, towels and soaps. Was well worth it and our family loved everything!

We spent four nights. The condo is simple and attractive and draws your attention to the absolutely stunning beach. The landscaping is beautiful. The beach is busy enough to be vibrant, but is not at all crowded. It was perfect.

You couldn’t ask for a better location than this condo. The space was beautiful, the view and beach access even better, and the host was lovely and easy to work with. This vacation will be hard to top for us and a big part of it was this accommodation!

This is an amazing property! The beachfront setting cannot be beat, complete with an outdoor shower, snorkeling a few steps away, and whales galore! While the square footage is fairly small, the layout is perfect for our family of 4, and the condo is ideally stocked- it is easy to tell that this is a family place, but arranged to make any guest feel like the space is their own. There were plenty of unexpected touches as well, and the power sunshades were amazing...AC in the bedrooms a huge bonus! The city of Kihei is super central to all the fun things, and there is great food a walk or short drive from your door. Kihei is a good mix of locals and tourists, so if you are looking for a strictly resort feel- which we weren't- head further south or further north. We'll be back ASAP!

We had a great time staying here, it was super clean, had lots of amenities and plenty big enough for the 3 of us. The balcony was a huge highlight, we watched the sun go down every night and spotted humpback whales from the balcony, highly recommend to anyone!

An absolute gorgeous location to have the ease of access to the beach with a private little yard to play in. It was a perfect location for a family with littles to enjoy. It’s walking distance to stores and restaurants and the hosts are so gracious with helping you with amenities or suggestions for activities. A beautiful and comfortable home to enjoy!

Loved our stay here in Maui! The proximity to Charley Young and Kam 1 beach was the best part. We could just walk out and be right on the beach. With our 2.5 year old daughter it was epic! The loft style 2nd primary bedroom worked well for our family of 3. Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a few nights and made Mai Tais.
Carlie F.
December 2024

Excellent location in the center of Kihei and on shores of Charley Young Beach just feet away from the building. Nightly sunsets from the lanai were an added bonus. Everything in the condo was new and clean from kitchen supplies to bedding and towels to beach chairs and umbrellas to the beautiful furnishings. This condo has been tastefully updated leaving you wanting for nothing. Look no further. Maui at its best!

If you're looking for a quiet place right on an incredible beach and away from the high-density condo/tourist areas, Kamaole One can't be beat! We only got in the car a couple times the whole week because we were perfectly content to walk the miles of beach/nature paths, play in the ocean, snorkel, watch the beach volleyball, and just relax on the lanai, all from the comforts of the condo. Listening to the ocean, feeling the breeze, and looking out at the incredible 2-story view were so relaxing and healing! The condo itself is well-appointed, with very comfortable beds, plenty of beach gear, etc. We had little need to contact the owner, but got prompt replies when we did. We really hated to leave and hope to get back there some day!

The place was fantastic. Great views and proximity to the beach and town. We enjoyed stepping right out onto the beach and having our own outdoor shower to clean off all the sand and salt water. Central air conditioning was so good and the place was stocked with everything we needed. It was great for 4 maybe 5 max. I’d be happy to stay here again.
