Located in South Kihei, just two short blocks away from Wailea, the Maui Kamaole is the perfect location for enjoying the many charms and activities of Maui without dealing with the constant chaos of West Maui.
Why stay in the hustle and bustle of Lahaina, Ka'anapali or Kapalua? Too many people and too much traffic is what you're trying to leave behind. Part of the beauty of Kihei is that you can easily stroll to casual shops, restaurants and beaches.
Or, hop in your car and you'll find yourself at the elegant shops and restaurants of Wailea in minutes. The Maui Kamaole stands out as an upscale property that conveniently bridges the casual charm of Kihei and the elegance of Wailea. What a great location!!
The Maui Kamaole is a luxurious low-rise, townhouse-style complex of 23 tropical acres set on a hill overlooking the ocean off the Maui coastline. The property boasts two beautiful swimming pools (the closest one to our unit a gorgeous, natural design with a waterfall and an adjacent sand bottom hot tub), BBQ areas, tennis and, of course, wonderful ocean views.
Our spacious (1,200 square-foot--one of the largest in the complex), professionally decorated two-bedroom end unit in the "J" building (J202) allows you and your family to spread out and relax while not sacrificing anything in the way of a “resort feel” both inside and outside of the unit.
You’ll notice and appreciate the high quality accents such as elegant furnishings and impressive artwork. There are ceiling fans and individual air conditioners in each of the bedrooms and in the living/dining room combo.
The two-story living room features an open-beam ceiling, queen-size sofa bed, cable TV and DVD player. You'll find a complimentary library of DVD movies available for your viewing. This main room opens to a spacious, private lanai--complete with patio table and chairs--where you can relax with a drink or have a meal while enjoying the wonderful Hawaiian weather, listening to the native birds, and appreciating the tropical setting.
The master bedroom is located upstairs in a private loft with a nice-sized lanai of its own. You can even sneak a peek at the beautiful Pacific Ocean from the master bedroom window. Relax in comfort on a king-size mattress. The adjoining private bathroom includes double sinks and an over-sized shower. Don't lug your hair dryer along--we have one for your use.
The second bedroom is downstairs and has a pair of twin-size beds, lots of closet space (enough to share with anyone sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room) and it's own bathroom with tub & shower. (You'll find the easy-to-use WASHER & DRYER in a closet within.)
The sleeper sofa in the living room has a queen-size mattress. There is also a queen-sized “memory foam” topper available to use in conjunction with the sofa bed which makes the mattress much more comfortable.
All the comforts of home have been provided. The kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs with refrigerator, microwave, oven/cooktop, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster and all basic utensils, cookware and dishes. Bath towels, beach towels and linens/bedding are also supplied. Free wireless Internet (WiFi) is available.
BEACHES: Maui is home to some of the best beaches in the world. You are across the road from Kamaole III Beach Park—one of the nicest family beaches in all of Maui--and just a short drive to the world acclaimed beaches of Makena and Wailea.
WATERSPORTS: Paddle a kayak and/or learn to surf in Kihei; jet ski in Wailea; boogie board at Makena Beach. The Kihei Boat Ramp is just across the street and offers a number of departures for ocean activities, like scuba, snorkeling and whale watching.
SHOPPING/DINING: The Maui Kamaole is just minutes from "The Shops at Wailea"--the most beautiful and exclusive shopping center in Hawaii. You can shop for anything from a T-shirt to a Louis Vuitton bag. Then, top off your visit by dining at one of their fine restaurants. Many of the 4-star hotels in Wailea and Makena also have excellent restaurants for you to consider.
Dining options, from casual to not-so-casual, abound in Kihei. The same goes for shopping. You can find specialty shops, arts & crafts and "old" favorites like Hilo Hattie. The charm of Lahaina Town--another area for good dining and shopping (make sure to explore the many art galleries in Lahaina)--is an easy 40 minute drive along a picturesque coastal highway.
GOLF: There are no fewer than 15 courses on the island of Maui. You’re just minutes away from the spectacular Wailea and Makena golf courses, Drive up the coast to Kaanapali and Kapalua for even more world class courses. Don't forget the two courses on the island of Lana'i--just a quick trip from Lahaina across the Auau Channel by ferry.
SIGHTSEEING: Kihei is the perfect launching spot to enjoy Maui’s many sights and experiences. Head to beautiful Hana, where you can experience the Seven Sacred Pools; or visit majestic Haleakala National Park. Don't overlook a visit to the Maui Ocean Center aquarium in Ma’alaea.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Maui Kamaole
We selected a home at the Maui Kamaole because its location allows you to take advantage of the local charm of Kihei just as easily as the upscale flavor of Wailea. We bridge the gap.
You'll see lots of pedestrians enjoying a stroll on the paths along the ocean as well as down South Kihei Road to many shops and restaurants. You can't (easily) do that in Kaanapali in West Maui. Plus, the weather in South Maui is usually better than either along Kaanapali or even just down the coast in Makena.
We love Maui because of the island’s beauty, charm and Aloha spirit, and we welcome you to our little piece of paradise.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
While a guest in our condo, you'll appreciate having lots of room to spread out--much more than you would have in a hotel room. Our unit is a bit wider than most of the other units at the Maui Kamaole, and, as an end unit, only has neighbors on one side, so it's generally quiet and private.
There's no shortage of closet space for unpacking; two good-sized bathrooms, allowing you plenty of room to get ready; your own fully-equipped kitchen, so that you can save money by preparing your own meals and not having to eat out the entire trip; and the decor is island tasteful, not kitschy.
Want to spend more time in the sun, but ready to take a break from the beaches during the middle (windier) part of the day? Aren't you lucky that the beautiful upper pool is just steps from our front door? It's an idyllic tropical setting.
Owner's Map of Maui Kamaole
Our family of five considers Maui our second home. Our only regret is that we don't get to visit as often as we'd like. But, that works out for you, because our absence means it's available for you to enjoy.

You mention so many of the things that we love about staying in our condo too! As far as the walk to the beach – most resorts in Kihei are across the street from the ocean. The Maui Kamaole happens to be a complex of low-rise buildings scattered across a tropical property. That means to stroll from our unit to the beach takes a few minutes longer than walking across the street from a high-rise, but is well worth the trade-off of being in a beautiful setting. And, it certainly isn’t a deal breaker. The option is to throw your things into the car which will be parked in your private, reserved parking space directly in front of our condo, roll down the driveway, and across the street to the beach. That just takes a moment, and is most convenient if you're transporting lots of "stuff".

Thanks for the nice comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Come visit us again! P.S. There are actually three (3) a/c units in the condo--one (1) in the living/dining room, and one (1) in EACH bedroom. The more cold air (in a tropical setting), the better!
