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.

We had an amazing stay here! The condo was exceptionally well appointed; everything I could think of was provided and easy to find. The location is perfect and the entire family loved our stay. We've stayed in several places in Kihei and this is our new favorite!

We had an amazing time! It was just as described—clean, cozy, and with beautiful ocean views. Being right on the beach made it so easy to enjoy the sand and surf. The kitchen was well-stocked, which was a huge plus for our meals. The living space was perfect for hanging out as a family. Plus, the host was super helpful and gave us great tips on things to do nearby. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back

A week spent with family in a very beautiful home and location. The view was fantastic from the upstairs bedroom and lanai. The beach is clean and perfect. A quiet complex and in walking distance to stores and restaurants. A perfect place

Hands down the best play to stay in Kihei. They had everything we needed for our stay. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise every morning and an incredible sunset every night was spectacular. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place.

I stayed here for a week with my 18 year old and this was truly the perfect location. We landed, hit Costco, drove to the condo, and immediately went to the beach. We saw turtles swimming! We rented snorkeling gear, and bought food, shampoo, conditioner, and sunscreen, but the condo had everything else we needed: beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, backpack cooler, beach bag. It was really warm inside when we arrived, even with the fans on, but when we turned on the AC unit upstairs it cooled the main floor living room also. My daughter shared the upstairs bed with me because it was so cool to lie in bed and watch the gentle ocean each morning. The location was perfect for exploring the entire island. While we visited a number of beaches, the one right out back was our favorite. We could decide last minute if we wanted another dip in the water, and we watched the sunset from the balcony. While we snorkeled at a number of places, including Molokini, our best snorkeling was the morning we left. We went right out back to the rocky area at about 7:30a. There were about 8 people already snorkeling and we found quite a few turtles. They were resting on the bottom, but they'd come up every once and awhile too. It was amazing! We stayed out until 8:30a, came back in to shower and pack, and were at the airport by 10a. Perfect! The owner was communicative and the pest control people came one morning, but she texted us that they were coming so we weren't surprised. Great Vacation!!!

Second floor unit with a view that cannot be exaggerated. Stunning! We did not cook but the kitchen was well stocked. Private access to the beach was so convenient and exactly what I’d hoped for. Our teenager could run off on his own but still be easily spotted from our lanai. The reef nearby provided endless hours of wonderful snorkeling and we felt so lucky to have had several turtles swimming alongside us! Host communication was exceptional. We will be booking again as often as we can!

This condo could not be better located or cared for, and the views of the beach and ocean are breathtaking. The condo is truly beautiful, updated and spacious. Kimberly, our host was excellent at communicating with me and very responsive to a concern we had about a potential scheduled power outage - that ultimately did not impact us. Sandra, the housekeeper kept the condo spotless. We will be back!

This place is truly amazing, even better then the description. The beach is right outside your door and one of the nicer beaches we visited on the island. The condo had absolutely everything we needed. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough great things about this place. We felt secluded even though we were right in the thick of things. We had the perfect view. We were on the side of the building so we felt we weren't bothering others. Not only did they supply the beach furniture, they supplied the little things like starter packs for the dishwasher, laundry detergent, paper towels, games, backup chargers, etc. They also let us leave all the leftover food so that we knew it would go to people who needed it. This place is owned by an author that had thier books available in the unit so we felt included.. almost like we were staying at a friend's place. The people who manage it was soooo comunicative. It was absolutely incredible. If I ever go back to Maui, I will determine the dates based on when THIS unit is available. It was perfect! Thank you so much for opening this home to us!

A really great place, we loved it. Nicely decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We spent most of our time sitting on the lanai watching the view, the sunsets, and the beach activity. So relaxing and close to all amenities. Would definitely rent this place again.

This condo was lovely, it has a great location and nicely appointed. We had a great time enjoying the sunsets on the lanai and swimming in the ocean which is literally at your fingertips. Shopping, groceries, and restaurants are close at hand which is a big plus. We will happily stay there again.

Lovely hidden gem. Great for one or two couples. Beach is perfect- no rocks, just pristine soft sand! Kitchen very well stocked!! Some of the units are full-time residents, others are vacation rentals. We will be back!

As regular visitors to Maui, we’ve seen dozens of properties. This is BY FAR the best property for location, size, floor plan and amenities. We literally walked less than one minute to Charley Young Beach. Highly recommend this property.

My husband and I had a week vacation and were very glad to stay in this condo. It's comfortable and clean, had everything we needed. We cooked our meals, and the kitchen was well supplied. The location is outstanding: it's right on the beach, quiet and secluded. Two beach walking paths are stretching to both sides, and people were taking their morning coffee while walking along the water. Nice and tranquil. There are shopping centers in walking distance, but the place is secluded from crowds. The communication with the host was excellent. Thank you! It was a great trip.

There are a lot of places advertising oceanfront, but after walking many miles of Kihei beaches, this complex is unique - it may be the only condo that I would say is truly right on the beach. The unit is stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels, and you are only carrying them a few yards to get to the sand. Kam 1 seems slightly less crowded than 2 and 3 (hard to define where Charley Young and Kam differentiate). I didn’t think this was much of a snorkeling beach, mainly because it was a little rough water around the rocks while we were there, but we did see turtles pretty much whenever we wanted, and I even had a big one run into me while I was out bobbing in the waves! The unit itself is exceptionally clean and stocked with everything you need. It’s not huge, but perfect for our family of 4. I’ve mainly stayed in resorts in Hawaii, but this is the first place where I didn’t see a single insect in the room. Bedroom 2 is pretty small and the bathrooms aren’t big, but the 3-head shower in the main bath is awesome. I love the location - walking distance to pretty much anything you might want to eat (I recommend the Food Truck Oasis at South Maui Gardens about a 10 minute walk away). The only negative is the parking is tight. We had a larger SUV that required a little backing in and out every time we were coming or going, but pretty hard to complain about parking 20 feet from your room. We plan on this as our go-to for any future Maui visits!

the condo was exactly what we wanted although AC was not working in upstairs bedroom, everything else was perfect. Great views and beach. Weather was very pleasant.

A breezy, beach themed condo. Everything was just just lovely.

April 2024

This condo is in such a great location. It is on Charley Young beach. No roads to cross, just walk straight out to the beach, or sit on the lanai to see the water (and the whales) and hear the surf. The South Kihei location is also great for amenaties. Kihei Caffe is across the street, Dolphin's Mall is a block away with it's gelato. A grocery Store and the the restaurants of South Kihei are just north of the condo. It also has great access to the other parts of the island with easy access to the Piilani Highway. The condo was very comfortable for the 3 of us. Well stocked with all our needs from coffee cups to boogie boards. Communication with Tina was quick and easy via text. We had a great week here, would recommend it and hopefully we will stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! As stated in the title, the location is fabulous. It really is a gem on Maui. The condo is clean and well stocked for all needs. The only feedback we have (my mother-in-law) has is to have a bath mat for the downstairs tub/shower as she found it very slippery and hard to manage at 84. We had a fabulous time and would return. Highly recommend.

We have stayed in this building several times. This is by far the best unit we’ve stayed in. It’s clearly been lovingly cared for. This should inspire guests to take care of it as well. As others have noted, this unit is supplied with many things that other rentals do not have which come in very handy. The location is the best on Maui. We didn’t want to leave. The owners were extremely helpful, responding quickly to our questions.

The condo was excellent. The 2 story windows onto the beach and the sunset gave amazing views. A wonderful beach is less than 100 feet away. It is close to town with its food trucks, shops and restaurants, but feels away from everything.

You won’t find a better place to stay in Kihei! A gorgeous unit steps from the beach, but still quiet and quite private. A beautiful view from the lanai, living room, dining room and master bedroom. The kitchen is well outfitted, and all of the rooms are decorated very tastefully. A fantastic stay, and the owner is very responsive. Great sunsets and the waves will lull you to sleep. I hope to return someday!

This condo is centrally located in Kihei. Shops and eateries are within walking distance. The condo is beachfront and has amazing views. Kimberly was helpful with booking and sent communication to us prior to our stay. Condo was clean and well stocked with the basics. We loved having access to beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and boogie boards. Great snorkeling to the right of the condo. We were thrilled to have found this place!

January 2024

My family had a great time staying at Kamaole One! It was the perfect location, very centralized on the island in Kihei. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom were perfect for my teenage daughter and her friend. The bathroom upstairs was a little tight, but my husband and I made due. Also, changing clothes was sometimes a challenge - forgetting to close the top blinds! I think we only used the beach out front a 2-3 times, but we loved sitting on the lanai drinking our coffee and playing games with the view. The condo had what we needed for the week, except the snorkel gear probably needs to be replaced. We couldn't find a complete set for an adult. But, renting for about $10/day down the block was not a problem. The only hiccup we had was connecting to the internet, but Sharon was very responsive and got us all set up in no time. Would consider staying here again when we go back to Maui.

The access to the calm and beautiful beach was unbeatable. In addition, the balcony overlooking the nearby beach was shaded by a beautiful old growth tree. If we weren’t on the beach, we were reading under the shade of the tree on the balcony. Heaven. Took our college age kids and had a blast on Maui.

Love this condo. This is the 3rd year we have rented number 11. It’s a great location. Many eating options within walking distance. Love walking the beach in the morning, then having coffee on the balcony. The unit has beach chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards.

Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay with my wife and 2 daughters. Direct beach access with incredible sunset views every evening. Great restaurants are within walking distance as well as an ABC store to grab anything you need. The property was super clean and quiet. It was stocked with everything we could have needed for a 6 day stay. Can’t recommend this place enough and will be back again in the future.

We have stayed multiple places on Maui and in Kihei and this one takes the cake. The first thing we noticed (besides the breathtaking views) is that it was more stocked than any rental we've ever stayed at anywhere in the world. Maybe it was good timing from the previous renters, but there was plenty of sunscreen, condiments, and even some beer. There were so many beach supplies too (chairs, umbrella, snorkels, fins, toys, etc.). The AC worked better than other Hawaii rentals we've stayed at, and the electronic shades gave privacy with still being able to view the ocean. The kitchen is modern with a dishwasher, trash compactor, and a huge fridge. Sharon was communicative, check-in/out was a breeze, parking was easy, and the beach is so close. Highly recommend!

Location is the best on the beach. But rent from a different owner. Sharon has no concern for her guests, only how things affect her. She lied to us about the AC (it is a swamp cooler downstairs) and thought we couldn't read directions when cable & internet were dead on our arrival. Took over 24 hours to hear from her that she's sending the PM, who read the same directions we did and got exactly the same results—nothing. Another 24 hours and WE have to schedule the technician—but forgets to give us her passcode. So it's another round of texting and our first 3 days are sh!t. Both cable box and modem needed to be replaced. No apologies, in fact no communication at all from Sharon. Last thing we got was her passcode. (Happy to share by the way) Okay, let's try to hit the reset. Time for a good breakfast—oh heck no, frying pan is dirty, full of old scrambled eggs!! Sent Sharon a photo... crickets. Then the construction started next door. I kid you not! Jackhammer tile demo. Sharon's husband Richard is on the board of directors for the condo complex. We find this out from the Property Manager when he came on day 2. If you're on the BOD, you know when someone is getting work done on their condo—especially at a 12 unit complex! Sharon's response? "Oh, she didn't tell anyone, and contractors are so hard to find..." That was the last we heard from Sharon... hm, I hope she's okay. Go to Maui, buy local, over-tip!! Just stay with a different owner!!

We loved our place. Had everything we needed. Washer and dryer was a big plus. The location was so convenient to everything. Could lay in bed in the loft and see the ocean. The sunsets from the view off the patio were spectacular. Would highly recommend this condo. Well worth the cost. Can sleep 6, we had 4 adults staying there. So glad we chose it. Great memories.
