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.
Travelers rave about Kamaole Sands’ location and setting. The resort sits directly across from Kamaole Beach Park III, so it’s an easy walk to swim, snorkel, boogie board, and catch nightly sunsets. Reviewers consistently praise the beautifully maintained tropical grounds, clean pool and BBQ areas (often cleaned daily), and family‑friendly amenities like a kiddie/wading pool, hot tubs, gym, and pickleball/tennis courts. Kihei’s central, walkable location is another standout: coffee, shave ice, casual restaurants, and shops are nearby, and Wailea’s beaches and activities are a short drive.
Most condos feel like well‑equipped homes. Many units are updated, clean, and comfortable with full kitchens, washers/dryers, two bathrooms, and thoughtful beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, toys). Lanais are a highlight—ground‑floor patios open to lawn that’s great for kids, while upper floors trade that for wider ocean or garden views and breezes. Guests frequently note strong communication and quick fixes from responsive hosts/managers (PMI Maui mentioned often). Families in particular love the convenience, space, and resort vibe.
A few themes to keep in mind: units are individually owned, so decor and upkeep vary—many are modernized, while some feel dated or have occasional cleaning or maintenance misses. Air‑conditioning setups differ (some have splits in every room; others rely on living‑room units or timers), and a handful of guests found bedrooms warm without bedroom A/C. Buildings closest to South Kihei Road (especially 10) can have traffic noise, and occasional activity at the adjacent park; interior buildings are generally quieter. Periodic property construction (notably roof work) has caused daytime noise or parking detours for some stays—ask ahead. Also expect a brief front‑desk check‑in and modest resort fee. If these details matter, confirm bedroom A/C, lanai size/view, beach gear included, and any scheduled construction when you book.

The host was very responsive when I contacted her regarding check-in and during our stay with a question. The place is exactly as described and would highly recommend staying at this condo.

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay! This owner clearly went out of their way to think of every little detail for 5 star stays. The well stocked kitchen, large lanai with partial ocean views and comfortable beds (even the pullout couch our son stayed on he reported was comfy) were highlights. The property grounds are stunning and well taken care of as well. So many things in walking distance but most importantly, the beach!

A perfect place to call home during our trip to Maui!! The unit had all the amenities we needed plus beach equipment. Major thanks for having a clothes steamer since I forgot mine!! The space is beautifully furnished and the overall aesthetic is lovely, you can tell it’s been remodeled. Our host was super responsive and helped us with the couple of things we needed. South Kihei was a great spot because the beach right out front is good and it’s close to Wailea. It’s also an easy walk or drive into the heart of Kihei where all the shops and restaurants are. We would 100% stay here again. Mahalo!!

I could toI could almost touch the stars here — the weather was perfect, the sky was wide open, and the nights were so clear that just looking up became one of my favorite parts of the stay.

We had plenty of room for the 6 of us. There were beach chairs, boogie boards and a cooler which made beach going easy. A closet full of balls, frisbees and games kept us entertained.

This was a beautifully appointed, well-located condo at Kamaole Sands. It was clear that the owners outfitted and decorated it for their family, so it felt like home the moment we walked in. It’s directly across the street from Kamaole Beach Park III, so we enjoyed the beach and stunning sunsets nightly. We appreciated the beach chairs, coolers, and football:) It was an easy to drive to many different spots on the island for sightseeing. Communication before our stay was seamless. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us… it was like a home away from home!

This was a beautiful place! The grounds are kept beautifully, our room was in a great spot tucked away near the back of the property- so quiet and convenient back gate access. I want to note the A/C on a timer was new to us, but it worked great! Our bed was very comfortable, the bathrooms were nice- updated and spacious, and we enjoyed the well stocked kitchen. Our favorite part was the cool mornings - breakfast outside on the lanai was so peaceful and beautiful! A bonus was being in close access to so many things we wanted to do! Kam III beach right across the street! And great restaurants and shopping close by. We loved our stay!!!!

Wonderful stay. Super convenient. Loved it. There were quite a few little bugs, especially downstairs. Harmless of course and to be expected. No worries. We're just letting you know.

Perfect location! Loved the chickens and their babies, but the roosters were a bit loud every am. Certainly expected in Hawaii. Ac in front bedroom is loud/ratchety and we never needed to use the living room AC. Just be overhead fan. The WiFi works sporadically. Kids also loved the pool and the bbq’s were of great use. It was so convenient to have all the beach and pool toys. I would suggest getting some new non stick pans. The place was very clean. Great communication with host. Overall a great time was had by all! I highly recommend booking this home.

Excellent condo! Beautiful grounds! We had a party of 7 and it fit all of us with plenty of room. Nice to have the loft area for extra space. Beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai! Parking for the unit was very close to the elevator. Unit is close to the pool area. We had a problem with an alarm going off and our host was very responsive to come over quickly. Love that the property is right across from the beach. We highly recommend this unit!!

Our family was very satisfied with our stay this trip. We have come to Kamaole Sands two previous times and this unit has been the best by far. Everything was in great shape. The cleanliness was excellent. The extra large balcony and phenomenal view of the grounds and ocean was a bonus. They also had 6 beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, a wagon and buckets and shovels. We would definitely come back.

The condo was clean and spacious, and the AC was awesome to come back to at night. The beach is a short 3-minute walk, and there are multiple beaches within walking distance. The host was great to work with and responded quickly. Overall, it has been our favorite place to stay in Maui.

A fantastic home base for a Maui getaway!From the moment we booked, everything was effortless — the process was straightforward and stress-free. When we arrived, the place exceeded our expectations: the photos online actually undersell it. The space is genuinely roomy and well-appointed, giving everyone plenty of room to spread out and relax.The location is a major highlight. We were just steps from Kamaole Beach Park III, with easy access to restaurants and shopping nearby — perfect for grabbing a meal without needing to drive. The pool area was a lovely bonus, beautifully maintained and a great spot to unwind after a day at the beach.We'd happily stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located rental on the south side of Maui.

Aloha! We stayed at Kamaole Sands in a 3 bed 3 bath, with our 2 adult children. Rooms were clean. VIP management was excellent! We had a hiccup and Carol and her team handled it quickly and professionally! We appreciate you! The grounds and pool were excellent. Maintenance was always doing something to maintain shrubs and foliage. Beach was very close and the stunning sunsets! I couldn’t say enough about those! We walked every evening down Kīhei Rd to the shops, restaurants and cafes. Maui! Beautiful we will return!

We love Kamaole Sands! It’s the perfect location, right across the street from Kam 3 beach. Building 10 is our favorite because it’s closest to the beach.

Great view, loved the kitchen and living room layout, the host was very attentive and quick to respond. We had discovered a water leak under the kitchen sink and within an hour she had a handyman there to fix it. Overall, great stay and would book again.

Everything we needed and little we didn't. Helped to have a car for travel beyond Kihei, but still a good location far enough away from downtown Kihei to feel isolated with the property itself offering plenty to keep us busy on lazy days.

The condo was perfect for us. Location was ideal and the view was great! Everything was as described. Our host was great - communicated and available if necessary. Would have said 5 stars for check in but had a difficult time finding the office - this was on us as we entered through the back gate without knowing it. We can’t wait to return.

We had such a lovely time in this condo! The views were amazing of both the sea and mountain. The living space was very comfortable and clean. Communication was fantastic. The location is great too because it is more central on the island it didn't take too long to drive anywhere. We will definitely come back!

Very nice spacious condo, nicely decorated and well stocked with essentials. Appreciated the 2 bathrooms and comfortable king size bed. Enjoyed having breakfast and coffee on the large lanai but there was a bit of traffic noise due to road closure detour but assume won’t be issue once road is repaired. Recommended!
