What a spectacular view of the fountains and ocean from our building ONE, 3rd floor location! Kamaole Sands is an "upscale" property that has been voted "Best Condominium on Maui" by the travel industry several times, and the Kihei / Wailea location can't be beat!
Once you visit this beautiful complex you'll see why we emphasize our wonderful building ONE location. Close to everything in the complex, but far enough away to not hear the beach traffic. Enjoy the wonderful garden, fountains AND partial ocean view from your private lanai (see photo #1). Come find out why our guests come back again and again and now make up nearly 50% of our rental business!
The location of our condo allows for a short walk to world famous Kamaole Beach who's warm clear water is ideal for snorkeling or enjoying the family friendly waves. Our custom condo is a spacious one bedroom, two bathroom unit which has been remodeled with granite counter tops, floor to ceiling mirrors, ceiling fans, appliances, pictures and tiled throughout. The concrete construction allows for a very quiet experience.
A beautiful queen size "Murphy bed" in the living room allows guests to sleep in comfort, not having the "sofa pullout bed experience". A bar with tropical bar stools sets the mood as do the tropical furnishings throughout. The condo comes with a TV/VCR/DVD, (with cable) in the master suite and an entertainment center with TV/VCR/DVD cable and CD stereo in the living room. Free high speed internet connection, just bring your laptop.
Enjoy the "Aloha Spirit" with Hawaiian videos, books and music. Also included are many videos suited for a variety of tastes. Free local phone calls and a daily paper. Completely furnished from beach towels, to coffee cups!
Again, our building one location is on the third floor close to the elevator but far enough away to not hear it. Our parking spot is right near the elevator, many are not. Kamaole Sands is a lush, 15 Acre property that truly represents the Aloha spirit. The pool area was renovated and the decking was replaced with beautiful flagstone. You will find two jet spas, a large pool and a children's wading pool. There is also a workout/exercise facility in the pool area.
Kamaole Sands is a wonderful place to plat tennis as there are four regulation tennis courts. Just steps from our building is an updated barbecue areas with three gas grills. There is an on site center to book activities and 24 hour security. Kamaole Sands is within walking distance to many shops and restaurants and a five minute drive to upscale shopping. Several world class golf courses are minutes away. This is truly one of the finest properties in one of the finest locations on Maui. Be sure to check our calendar as it is current at all times and the best way to check availability.

Map & Owner's Profile
Kihei/Wailea - Updated Kamaole Sands Bldg 1 - Steps to Beach
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Kamaole Sands
We chose to purchase at Kamaole Sands after several visits to Maui. Like many, we first stayed in Kaanapali. As we really like spending time at the beach AND IN THE SUN, we knew we wanted to have our home away from home in Maui's sunny south. Kamaole Sands is 15 acres of lush tropical grounds directly across the street from one of Maui's finest beaches. The buildings are block construction and very quiet. Close to the upscale "Shops at Wailea", championship golf, ocean activities and walking distance to shops and restaurants. We plan to add a second unit in the future and once again, it will be at Kamaole Sands.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Kamaole Sands can really be a one stop vacation spot. There are four regulation tennis courts, a beautiful pool area which not only has a wonderful large pool, but a childrens pool and two jacuzzi style hot tubs. Each building has access to beautiful barbecue areas which are maintained and updated as needed. New barbecues were purchased in 2009. There's on site tourist information, free adult computer use in the administration building, 24 hour security and even a nice work out facility near the pool. You'll see why guests return year after year.
Upscale shopping and restaurants such as Tommy Bahama, Tiffany and Co., Fendi, St. John and Louis Vuitton. Also aloha clothing and Hawaiian crafts with stores like Tori Richard, Reyn's & Honolua Surf
In my humble opinion, the finest hotel and grounds on Maui. Several great restaurants but my favorite is the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. You can sit in the bar and witness an unbelievable sunset!
Great snorkeling with clear water in the morning hours. We got scuba certified here. Public parking right near the beach and there are showers and restroom facilities.
Great family freindly beach. One of the few with lifeguards. Best in the morning as the wind can pick up as the day heats up. Famous for great sunset pictures. Also a LARGE green area to enjoy. Often
Restaurants you can walk to. Moose's which has sister locations in Lahaina and on Oahu offers a wide variety but I usually get a burger. Fred's is a Mexican restaurant from So Cal.
Healthy food items. Local Mexican food outlet with locations around the island.
Many stores and restaurants such as SAFEWAY, Starbuck's, Hilo Hattie's, Tropix, Roy's, Outback, Blockbuster Video, Roundtable Pizza and on and on.
Many consider Big Beach the Hawaiian beach of their dreams. Nearly 2/3 of a mile long, (hence the Hawaiian name Oneloa which means long sands)and over 100 feet wide. Beautiful, but the water can be da
Owner's Map of Kamaole Sands
We are the Camp's and as you can see from this picture, we love Hawaii and in particular; Maui. I have had a love for Hawaii since I was a boy and have always planned to live in Hawaii. I started visiting Oahu in the seventies, went to school there for awhile, got married and visited just about every year. Since we're still a few years away from the dream of living fulltime on Maui, owning a condo on "the Valley Isle" is the next best thing. Our mainland home is in Gilbert, AZ.

We had a truly enjoyable vacation in this unit. Everything the owner says about it is true, except that the view from the lanai is even more spectacular than in the pictures. The fountains were exquisite, as were the entire grounds. The unit is well situated, close to everything -- plus it is clean and very, very comfortable. We look forward to staying here again.

It is a good thing I am old and forgetful or there wouldn't be space enough for my review! My wife and I had a wonderful experience on our first, but not last visit to this Paradise Island! I wish I had taken better notes when I asked Larry about things to do and places to see. Then again if I had, we would have had to spend an extra month to get it all in. We had a Great time and the Condo location made easy access to everywhere we visited. The Condo met our needs entirely! It was just right! Very convenient, clean, comfortable and just enough out of the way to not have any crowds to deal with. Did I mention the beach just across the street? It was fantantic too! This location is also near numerous beaches, all fantastic! We had a great time! It really was a paradise experience! Thanks Larry and Judy. We hope to return soon! You were great hosts!

I could best describe my experience by saying my wife and I want to go again and again and again. Pictures just do not do this condo justice. It's a beautiful and convenient location and so well maintained. I've know Larry and Judy for a long time so the fact that everything was immaculate did not surprise us at all. A "plus" that cannot be described in any literature was the chance for us to meet and "hang" with others who were there at the same time. Chats by the pool and while using the community internet in the office. Just plain good people. And kudos for the overall decor of the place -- the art, great lighting and more than ample laundry space. They've gone the extra mile and we certainly appreciated it! Aloha and we'll see you right back here in the future.

We stayed here for a week in October and had a blast. The Condo is just a few minutes from what was my favorite beach, minutes from my favorite sushi place, and shopping! The condo was clean and beautiful and had all the things we needed to cook dinner, do laundry, dishes, etc. We will always stay here whenever we come to Maui :)

My wife books most of our Maui trips thru VRBO. We loved Larry's suite! It was really quiet, well maintained, clean and has internet connection so I could report back to my kids how the trip was going, all live on webcam. Everything is there, water toys, a very nice neighbour who resides year round. Any information you need Larry and his wife will get to you. Its a safe website, all properties are legit. The beach is right across the street from the property, easy pickup at the street for tour vans etc..the suite has comfortable beds and Murphy bed,..slept like a baby! I highly recommend this suite and we plan on returning the next visit to beautiful Maui~! Mahalo, The Jones's, Vancouver area
Owner response:It's always nice to hear that our guests have had such a great trip and that our condo was a nice part of it. I want to update that due to the advanced ages of our neighbors they have moved in with family and no longer live next door. We all enjoyed their good natured spirits and smiling faces and wish them well.

A very disappointing stay

My wife and daughters stayed here Sept 8th through Sept 21st, 2011 and, although we loved being in Maui, our stay at this condo was very disappointing. Kama'ole Sands itself is pretty (if you stay in a condo with a view of the central garden, which this one has) and nicely located in south Kihei. Beware, however, that this particular condo has only a small, noisy, inefficient wall unit A/C that is set on a 1 hour timer. The owner states that opening the condo up to the trade winds is sufficient for cooling. Maui's common weather pattern is for brisk trade winds IN THE AFTERNOON. Once the winds die down, A/C is needed for cooling, especially at night to sleep comfortably. The small wall unit A/C is on the opposite side of the condo, NEVER cooling the master bedroom (and. because it is set on a 1 hour timer, does a poor job cooling the living room). In an attempt to cool the master, you fill be required to open up all of the windows and shades which, regrettably, puts you in FULL VIEW of anyone using the 3rd and 4th floor walkways!! We were also very disappointed that construction work was being done the entire time we were there, not in the next block (unit 2) as stated by the owner, but in the unit directly diagonal from ours in unit 1!! This made the use of the lanai impossible as construction workers were right next to you! I would have rated this condo a one star, but having my family with me always makes things better than poor. There are many places to choose from in south Maui. I will not be staying at this particular location again.
Owner response:As owners receiving our first review of less than five stars we would like to respond with the following pertinent facts. 1. All guests are encouraged to contact us before and during their visit of any concerns. This guest did not. 2. This guest was made aware months in advance that their visit would coincide with the complexes fall repairs. A discounted rate was offered and accepted. We would encourage potential guests to read all reviews.

My wife and I spent 10 days at this Condo in June 2011. We loved every thing about the vacation. Condo is in a great location - across the street from nice beaches that were never crowded and have great snorkling in the morning. Enjoyed playing Tennis and relaxing by the pool and hot tub. Love this location as it was close to any where on the island. We took trips to Lahaina, and Pa'ia during the week and really enjoyed the trip to Hana ( we chose to have someone else drive) I got to take pictures and my wife did not have to worry about my driving :-). It was great that we could get to most places on the island with ease. The condo was very clean, and it was great having a kitchen. Eating breakfast ( including fresh pineapple ) on the Lanai overlooking the well kept grounds , fountians and ocean was a nice way to start the day. I really enjoyed the collection of Hawaiin music CDs and my favorite DVD was "Step into Liquid" an awesome DVD on Surfing. The staff and the condo complex was helpful and if your want to plan excursions the stafff by the pool was very helpful when we were deciding what to do. The most recent copy of "Maui Revealed" was on the table when we arrived. This book was very helpful for us as it was our first time in Maui. It's the little things that add up to making a vacation a great experience and this condo and it's owners pay attention to detail and provide all that you will need to make it feel more like a home then a vacation rental. Would we stay there again ? Absolutely !!!!
Owner response:As owners it is our goal to have every guest come away feeling the way these folks did. Since we purchased our Hawaiian Home in 2002 our number one priority has been to establish relationships with our guests and it has been a great experience as we have become good friends with many.

This Condo was just wonderful. My husband and I stayed here in August of 2010. It met all of our needs and the pictures were accurate to the description. I usually stay in Napili however I think we found a new spot. The owners friendly to work with and very prompt with all information needed to stay here. Can't wait to return.
Owner response:As owners, we do our best to accurately portray our Hawaiian Home. Since we purchased our Kamaole Sands unit in 2002 our goal has always been to establish relationships with our guests. It's much easier to keep our Hawaiian Home rented when guests return again and again.
