Aloha,
We would like to welcome you to our home away from home. We visit Maui several times each year and love spending time in our beautifully redecorated condo. We are former Maui residents and we chose to purchase at Kam Sands due to the proximity to great beaches, restaurants, and activities on Maui.
This is an inviting one bedroom, two bathroom unit with granite counter tops, floor to ceiling mirrors, custom ceiling fans, appliances, pictures and tile. Even the lanai has been tiled rather than the typical outdoor carpet in most units. The concrete construction allows for a very quiet experience. We even put wands in the showers so you can get the sand out.
Our unit has been remodeled extensively with the updates being done every year. We hired professional faux painters, Viking Studios, out of Whitefish, MT to come in and spend 9 days helping us redesign the feel into a true island experience. With new fixtures, 100% wool hand woven rugs, hand carved mahogany entertainment center, designer palm lamps, faux paint, ceiling fans, new TV/DVD, new king bed, new A/C in living and master, new washer and dryer and several pieces of new furniture and art, you will be hard pressed to find a more unique and whimsical unit on the island.
In 2009 we put in a new Samsung LCD HDTV, new Phillips DVD and a wonderful new bookshelf stereo. We had Island Upholstery and Window Coverings install plantation shutters in the master so you could get natural light and still have privacy, as well as beautiful bamboo shades in the living room with a "black out" liner for the night. Maui Closets just installed a custom designed and Maui built wall bed with a queen sized Serta mattress, lights, shelves and night stand. The entire unit is made of cherry and created by the artists at Maui Closet Company. It is spectacular and far more comfortable than a pull out sofa. We also just replaced the couch and tables to give it more of a "Tommy Bahama" feel.
Our condo is in building number five which is one of the most sought after buildings in the complex. You are close to everything in the complex, but far enough away to not hear road noise. Enjoy the beautiful view down through the gardens with just a hint of ocean view from your private lanai. We are not near the elevator or garbage chute, and you can walk less than 50 yards to the pools and hot tubs.
There is also a television/DVD(with cable) in the master suite in addition to the new LCD HDTV, DVD and stereo in the living room. It is very well appointed with extras like an iron, hair dryer, tupperware, kid friendly cups, sharp knives, spices, coffee cups, blender, toaster, etc. We leave the lanai closet open with boogie boards, beach mats, coolers, chairs, and two bins of floaties and toys.
Kamaole Sands is a very nice property that has been voted "Best Condominium on Maui" by the travel industry three times. The location right on the Kihei/Wailea border is tough to beat!
The location of our condo allows for a short walk to world famous Kamaole Beach. The warm clear water is ideal for snorkeling or enjoying the family friendly waves. It is a lush, 15 acre property that truly represents the Aloha spirit. The pool area was recently renovated and the decking was replaced with beautiful flagstone. You will find two jet spas, a large pool and a children's wading pool. You will be walking distance to many shops and restaurants and some of Maui's only lifeguard supervised beaches. Several world class golf courses, resorts and restaurants are minutes away. For the price, you won't find a better value on Maui.

Why the Owner Chose Kamaole Sands
We chose to buy in Kamaole Sands partly because of the wonderful location near amazing beaches, shopping and activities and partly because the complex itself is big enough to offer great amenities and small enough to feel like home.

Aloha,
We are former Maui residents with our first child born on the island and relatives still on island. Our family of five lives in Gig Harbor, Washington and visit Maui often as a place to recharge and enjoy all paradise has to offer.

Your condo has a very homey feel to it. John loved the Internet service he tends to live on his computer. I liked the island decor it made the condo feel like the Paradise we are in. I feel the locations was wonderful. Very convenient to both the pool and the walk to the beach (which we walked everyday). We especially liked that being that close to the pool we still didn't hear the pool noise or people walking back and forth. It was very quiet.

To say that this is an absolutely beautiful condo would be an understatement. We really lucked out! It is amazing!! A home away from home sure nails it on the head. Our trip was spur of the moment decision so I didn't hope for too much so this was such a pleasant suprise.

We can't thank you enough for making this trip to Maui so memorable. It was the first time we came here with our young daughter, and your child-friendly condo helped her stay to be so enjoyable. She go much use out of the sand toys in the lanai closet, and mom and dad enjoyed the beach chairs as well.
