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.
Maui Kamaole earns strong reviews for its south Kihei location and laid‑back, low‑rise resort feel. Guests love being across from Kamaole III and near Keawakapu Beach, with easy access to Wailea, snorkeling and Molokini boat launches at the nearby Kihei boat ramp. The grounds are a highlight—meticulously landscaped, quiet, and dotted with grills, tennis courts, and two distinct pool areas (a lagoon/waterfall “upper” pool and a simpler “lower” pool). Many units offer ocean and sunset views from spacious lanais, and assigned parking close to each condo is convenient.
Inside, most condos are described as clean, roomy, and very well equipped for self‑catering and beach days—think full kitchens (often with sharp knives and useful gadgets), in‑suite laundry, plenty of towels, and a stash of gear like chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards and snorkel sets. Beds are frequently called comfortable, AC and ceiling fans keep things cool, and hosts/property managers are generally responsive and proactive. Many units have been tastefully updated, and repeat guests praise the consistency of the complex and its peaceful vibe.
Common trade‑offs to consider: this is a quiet community with fairly strict pool and quiet‑hour rules, which some families with energetic kids found limiting. Because units are individually owned, decor and upkeep can vary—some feel dated or have minor maintenance quirks (TV setup, an appliance, or a washer/dryer), and in a tropical climate occasional ants or roaches are reported, though managers typically respond quickly. Sound can travel between floors, several buildings sit up a hill (the walk back from the beach can be a mild climb), and many units have stairs or loft bedrooms with limited privacy. Supplies like spices or coffee and the amount/condition of beach gear differ by unit. Overall, travelers seeking a calm, well‑kept condo base near great beaches—and who prefer self‑sufficiency over full‑service resort bustle—tend to be very happy here.

Condo D 103 is in great need of upgrading. Dining chair cushioning has wore through to the wood frame, curtains are stained etc. The condo itself is very outdated.
Unfortuneatly we left something something behind. We contacted Coldwell Banker Island Vacations the same day as check out as we could have picked the item up. Sadly, we heard nothing back which only leads us to believe the Coldwell Banker cleaning staff have the item.
The Maui Kamaole condo complex is amazing. We have stayed several times in other condos maganged by other companies or the owners themselves and have had great experiences.

The condo was clean and had a great view. However, on the day of our arrival we were notified that the master toilet was broken and would be replaced two days later on Monday. The owners said we would be notified about a time range when the plumber would arrive. Monday came and went with absolutely no update. On Tuesday we were awakened by someone typing the code to enter our condo. We had not been told when, or if, the plumber was arriving on Tuesday, so it was a shock to us.Also, we wanted to know when they would arrive so we could open the door for them and not have the plumber use our door code to enter himself. Three nights without a functional toilet was not what we paid for. Otherwise it was great.

This condo was everything and more for our family trip to Kihei! Traveling with a 5 and 7 year old, the beach accessories (mats, towels, umbrella, and cooler) were such a thoughtful touch and made our beach days a breeze. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped — even had storage containers and tinfoil — which was perfect since we cooked a lot. And the cleanliness was absolutely spotless. We can't wait to come back!

Love this location. More quiet part of kihei and close to waliea. Grounds are beautiful and the condo has everything you need. As others have said, the decor is a bit dated but I think this is reflected in the price. I dont care about style as we spent our time diving, kayaking, hiking etc. Be aware that the pool near the condo is pretty much overrun by little kids much of the time. Lovely pool and spa, just not very peaceful.

This is the third year staying at Keith's condo. The grounds are beautiful and the ocean view is something we appreciated everyday. You will find everything you need for a comfortable stay in paradise, and we found the amenities, towels, linens, coffee maker etc. to be of high quality. Keith is extremely responsive. This is our home away from home.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Maui Kamaole #J-110. Self check-in was convenient and super easy, as they emailed us all the information we needed a few days prior to arrival. The unit was beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, and was stocked with everything we needed for a day at the beach or chillin’ indoors (but why stay indoors?). I found it far more beautiful than the pictures. The staff immediately responded to any questions or communications we initiated, which created a smooth and stress-free stay. The location was absolutely perfect! We could walk from our unit to the beach, various restaurants, and shops. Everything we needed was moments away. The warm, yet beachy decor, the location, and amazing staff made our first stay in Hawaii a wonderful lifetime memory.

We loved the location. Kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals, which is what we did many nights and just enjoyed a glass of wine and the amazing views. The BBQ area is close and convenient. My only suggestion would be to replace the living room chairs and sofa with comfortable furniture. Other than that, it was perfect.

Yes, the host was welcoming. The amenities were fine. Perhaps curtains or shades of some sort would help block the hot afternoon sun coming into the living room and give a little more privacy after dark.

The condo was in a great location and complex was beautiful. It was well stocked. The only negative were the amount of roaches found in the kitchen each day. During our stay Pest Control attended and sprayed, however this only helped a little. We are familiar with Hawaii and the occasional insect etc. but this rental had more than we were willing to overlook.
