About this property

Remodeled 1 BR Garden View Maui Kamaole Condo - Short Walk to Beach

Our ground floor unit is located in the Melia "M" Cluster, and is among the newest and most private buildings in the Maui Kamaole complex. We extensively remodeled our condominium, including - new tile floors throughout; new tiled, walk-in showers; new cabinets/vanities in the kitchen and bathrooms; new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen; new, much quieter split air conditioning systems in the living room and bedroom, upgraded lighting throughout, new plumbing hardware, etc.

If you have mobility issues, no problem. You will not need to climb any stairs or steps to our condo. You are just a short walk from your dedicated parking spot, L-22, to our front door.

Our unit boasts a spacious lanai off the living room, as well as a private courtyard in the rear, off the bedroom. Since this unit was among the last constructed, the architect incorporated many improvements in the design of the "M" cluster. Thus, our condo makes better use of the same amount of space compared to older Maui Kamaole condos constructed in the earlier years of the development.

Our unit has a beautiful garden view. Unlike some other units in the Maui Kamaole complex overlooking South Kihei Road, we do not have the corresponding traffic noise (e.g., garbage trucks rolling down the road or entering the small boat harbor at 6 AM). You are also close to the upper pool area, but not so close as to be burdened with any noise from the pool. Likewise, you do not have to contend with a noisy parking lot, as some units overlook a parking lot. (And that would be your view.)

Many of our previous guests have commented how much they appreciated a relaxing breakfast on our lanai, before starting the day's activities. It is also a way to economize, both your hard earned time off and your vacation dollars.

Our condominium is also very, very near the best BBQ area in Maui Kamaole (not even a minute away). The area has plenty of seating for the guys to sit and drink a beer or other adult drink and discuss sports with their fellow travelers while they are watching over the grill. And, we have not one, but two grills. So you will most likely never have to wait your turn.

Two tennis courts, recently refurbished and resurfaced, are again a short walk from the condo (i.e., less than a minute). Again, you should not hear the noise from either of these locations, as both locations are subject to the House Rules regarding quiet hours. Before you ask, Maui Kamaole does not allow pickle ball. The County does have at least one location where you can play pickle ball.

We are just a short walk to Kamaole III Beach. This beach is one of the best kept secrets on the island. The "Locals" love the park and beach. Each evening you will find them there to watch the sunset with their family and friends and play with their dogs. We often go to the park to watch the sunset. We are also less than a ten minute walk to Keawakapu Beach, one of the nicest beaches on the island.

If you are debating whether to select a resort in west Maui versus south Maui, south Maui wins hands down. We have more and less crowded beaches, better water activities available, and the auto traffic is much, much lighter. One other important factor to consider is that there is only one road from west Maui to the airport. Good luck getting to the airport if there's an accident on that dangerous, two-lane highway from west Maui to Wailuku/Kahului. In the last month as I am writing this, there have been two accidents that completely shut down the road, one of them was a fatal accident.

Since we live just five minutes away on Maui, we frequently visit the condominium to ensure that all the appliances and gadgets are in good, working order. You can contact us by phone, text message or email for a prompt response to your question or concern.

We are aware of many condominiums poorly outfitted - for example, televisions that should have been recycled years ago, one pan/ pot for cooking, two coffee cups, five forks, phones that don't work, etc. The list could go on. Some owners never visit their units and are only interested in maximizing revenue with minimal investment in their unit. This is a classic case of buyer beware when selecting a condo to spend your hard earned vacation dollars and vacation time.

We recently installed a state-of-the-art, 55-in HD television, with all the Smart TV features. We subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Amazon, etc. We also recently installed a 43-in, Smart HDTV for the master bedroom with the same functionality as the living room television. We have a full lineup of channels, including premium channels, from the local cable provider.

Since Hawaii is two or three hours behind the West Coast, many of those live shows will broadcast several hours earlier than normal on the mainland. You can DVR these programs on either television.
Normal departure is 11 AM. Many, if not most of our guests, depart in the late afternoon or evening flights. Very often these same guests regret not having booked another day, so that they could maximize their activities on that final day. Please consider adding that day, if yours is a later flight. Think about all the money you will spent on airfare, car rental, food, activities in comparison to one more day's rental. Many of our rentals are back to back, and we do not have the flexibility in accommodating an extended departure time.

In addition to the big screen HD TVs, we provide free, wireless internet access within the condo and free long distance telephone access to the mainland and Canada.
We recently added a new, plush, pillow-top king size bed in the master bedroom. You will enjoy a great night's sleep.
This is a non-smoking condominium. Maui Kamaole is a non-smoking complex. If you are a smoker, you are advised to seek accommodations elsewhere.
We comply with the State of Hawaii in collecting and paying taxes. We remit those taxes to the County and State on a monthly or quarterly basis in full compliance with the law. Our GET License and TAT Certificate ID numbers are GE (TA)-214-427-6480-01, respectively. We have posted copies of these documents in our condominium. The total of the two State taxes and the one County tax is 17.75 percent and is applied to the sum of the cleaning and check-in fees ($245) plus the total daily cost of the rental. VRBO's software automatically calculates this sum when you book the condo.

Keywords: Peaceful Garden/Mountain View, sleeps two, downstairs, end unit, located at the back of the Maui Kamaole complex. Near, but not too near, the upper pool. Near tennis courts and the best BBQ area in Maui Kamaole.

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Linda Gatlin

Host profile image
We both visited Maui for the first time in the mid-60's. Linda had just graduated from the University of Washington and Joe was on a Naval Academy midshipman cruise. Each of us loved Hawaii at first sight. We met and married more than 50 years ago when Joe was a graduate student at MIT, while on active duty in the Navy. Now that we are retired we spend several months per year at our favorite place on earth, Maui. We are continually upgrading the unit to add more amenities - to make the visits more enjoyable for guests, as well as for us.

Why they chose this property

In our opinion, Maui Kamaole is located in the best part of Maui. The South Kihei/Wailea/Makena area is more easily accessible to the airport than Ka'anapali, has better weather, more and better beaches, multiple championship golf courses, better shopping and is less crowded. Lahaina is on the west side of Maui and it will be years before it is ready to receive visitors, again. We have stayed at resorts all over the islands and love Maui more than the other islands in the Hawaiian chain. When we purchased our unit, we knew that we had picked the best location on Maui.
The airport is about 25 minutes away, traveling for the most part on a four-lane highway. Personally, I don't like driving to the west side of Maui. While the highway runs along the coast and is a beautiful drive, it is also dangerous. Accidents can and will happen on that two-lane road. If your caught in an accident, you most likely will miss your flight.

What makes this property unique

If you look at our reviews, you will see many positive comments regarding how quiet our condominium is. While our condo has a garden view, it is not facing busy South Kihei Road with the oftentimes heavy traffic and associated noise.
Maui Kamaole has two swimming pools. Our unit is located less than an easy one minute walk to the upper pool. It also has a wonderful sand bottom hot tub. Maui Kamaole recently renovated both the upper and lower pools. Both pools have covered areas and grills for those afternoon or evening BBQ's with extended family and friends.
Within the last year Maui Kamaole renovated both tennis courts. Likewise, the best BBQ area at Maui Kamaole is located literally right outside our front door.
We posted pictures of the pools, tennis courts and BBQ area on our listing.
Great shopping is nearby at the Shops of Wailea. Three large grocery stores are no more than a five to ten minute drive. We are just a short walk to Maui Kamaole III Park and Beach. The lawn and associated beach are one of the best kept secrets on the island. We often visit the park to watch the sunset, hoping for a green flash. Our favorite morning ritual is to walk across the street and then turn south along the beach toward the Mana Kai Resort. We then walk up a gradual hill in Wailea and loop back around to beach and swim on the Keawakapu Beach near the Mana Kai. We buy a cup of coffee in the Mana Kai and sit on a grassy plain overlooking the ocean to watch the whales when in season.
Maui Kamaole is also located within a five minute drive from Mokapu and Ulua Beaches, home of the most exclusive hotels on Maui. If you're a runner this is good run, a little more than a three mile round trip.
