Our family of 5 has been visiting Kihei almost annually since 2010. We’ve stayed at different condos/properties each visit. This was our first stay at Maui Kamaole. We stayed 2 weeks.
The space is very warm and cozy, full of nostalgic Hawaiian beach decor and furniture that felt immediately comforting (strong 90s Golden Girls vibes). We felt immediately at home. Our two teen girls set up in the loft and the space and bathroom were perfect for their needs. Our tween son took over the sofa bed in the living area, which he loved.
The main lanai off the living area is a perfect place for morning coffee, swinging, and shared meals. We spent most mornings and evenings on the lanai.
The pool is close, which was a big bonus for us.
The beach (Kam 3) is a downhill walk, so if you have physical accessibility needs I recommend driving to the beach. Walking back up with beach gear in tow is a bit of a climb if you have little ones who are tired or cranky, so I recommend renting a beach wagon for the walk.
We rented snorkel gear, boogie boards, and an umbrella. The condo has good chairs. If you need beach toys, you should bring those along or rent/buy.
This is a wonderful, well-loved space, and I hope the owners never renovate because it’s the most charming, nostalgic space, and I never want it to change! 🥰
