Undoubtedly one of the premiere units at the highly rated Kamaole Sands Resort, this newly remodeled luxury condo, Kamaole Sands 2-406, features every imaginable upgrade. AC in the living room, views of the ocean fronting Kamaole III Beach, and elegant, comfortable furnishings set the tone for your ultimate Maui getaway for up to four guests. There is no AC in either bedroom.
One of the best-reviewed properties on Maui, the lush Kamaole Sands sits on 15 acres of tropical gardens, features the largest resort pool in South Kihei, and is ideally situated a hundred yards off pristine Kamaole III Beach. It is walking distance to a dozen restaurants and two blocks adjacent to Wailea. The Penthouse location at the apex of the property, overlooking the property’s award-winning gardens and water features, positions the unit for privacy.
A sparkling new kitchen features granite counters and Cherry cabinets, wine fridge, and everything you’ll need to prepare and indulge in your private Maui feast. There is plenty of seating at the dining table and counter, and the ocean view lanai is the perfect retreat to begin and end each day. The two bedrooms are well-separated, and there are two bathrooms.
High-end bedding and mattresses assure great rest after your Maui adventures. A luxury King hosts in the Master Loft Suite, which is cooled by the elevated positioning of the AC station on the great room wall. Bedroom two is equipped with twin beds. There are TVs in both bedrooms with Premium cable and streaming throughout. Luxury linens and bedding are included.
The Wi-Fi is lightning-fast, and there is a writing desk. There is a full complement of beach gear, including beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and towels. The single zone split AC system is based in the living room and fans help move the air throughout the rest of the unit.
Kamaole III Beach, just across the street, is a sun-worshiper’s delight and its’ sloping lawn is the perfect venue from which to take in Maui’s legendary sunrises. “Kam III” is known for excellent snorkeling and clear, warm-water swimming, and for the sea turtles that often nibble its reef. The beach park has restroom and shower facilities, and adjoins the South Maui Beach Path, which meanders for miles along Kihei’s coastline. Walk north and you’ll toe the sand of Kamaole I and II Beaches. Head south past the Kihei Boat Ramp to Keawakapu Beach, and all the way to the Wailea Beach Path. Standup paddle and kayak right across the street, and whale-watch in the winter, right off the shore.
Along with the resort pool, there is a dedicated child’s wading pool, two hot tubs (one adults only), four well-maintained tennis courts, and gas grills conveniently located for guest use.

The apartment was great. Exactly as described. Large rooms, clean bathrooms, washing machine. Our requests were always responded to within minutes. Just cross the street once, and you are already at the beach. Parking in front of the door. The description only mentions 1 AC in the living room. That's right, and it makes the lower bedroom warmer than expected. You should know and want that. It didn't bother us. There were plenty of fans.
Great Stay

4/5
We enjoyed our stay!! Unit has a great view of gardens and ocean. Nice, family friendly property. Very clean, well stocked kitchen and Management was responsive. The only issue I have is that there is musty smell that doesn't go away with airflow. I have experienced this before in tropical climates so maybe there isn't much to do. The beautiful staircase is creaky.

View from lanai is fantastic. The grounds of Kamaole Sands are gorgeous. You are across the street from Kam 3 beach and only a short drive away from some spectacular beaches in Wailea. There are quite a few coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. Condo itself was clean on arrival and the management company had the lights on, AC running and some very welcoming Hawaiian music on the tv. As has been mentioned before the AC is a split unit, so the living room and kitchen are nicely cooled, but the bedrooms are warm. There is a ceiling fan in each bedroom and floor fans available that you can strategically place. This was our second rental unit in this complex and I feel every unit would be similar. Due to roof construction Buildings 7-10 (we visited May 2025) the Kam Sands was not full, so we found the place very quiet, and the pool was a nice place to relax. We had a couple of minor issues, and the Management Company dealt with these very quickly and were very easy to get a hold of. Would recommend this unit without hesitation.

The apartment is really nice. The surroundings are beautiful and very well kept. The location is outstanding: - walking distance to restaurants - across the street to an excellent Beach - great place for snorkeling and turtle spotting - in front of a really nice park with 2 more parks at 10 minutes walking - supermarkets at 5 minutes driving. We had a great time.

Exactly as described. Very well equipped. Clean. Nice view. Don't bring paper plates, garbage bags, olive oil, or dish/laundry detergent. Do bring extra shampoo and conditioner, paper towels, ice packs, and Kleenex. The complex's pool rules are quite restrictive, to no fault of the unit owners.

The Kamaole Sands is in the perfect location in Kihei right across the street from a fabulous beach for sand, snorkeling, boogie boarding, etc... The Kamaole Sands is impeccably maintained, beautiful, and the staff so friendly. It is quiet at night and the amenities are well taken care of. We keep returning to this home away from home.

Great condo for family or four adults. Located right across the street from a fantastic beach with super snorkeling! Condo was very well equipped with lots of kitchen utensils, dishes etc. Spacious sitting area, lanai too. Furniture was all in excellent condition and beds were comfortable. Upstairs loft was a little warm but the ceiling fan made sleeping comfortable.
Great place
by Jake

Great place for the entire family. Our kids had a great time. We could see the ocean and pool from the balcony. It was clean upon arrival and communication was very quick and accurate. We cooked lots of meals in the unit and used the washer/dryer often. Everything was set up for us upon arrival (kitchen ware, towels, instructions, wifi, etc). Its pricy but a splurge we were happy to make. We really enjoyed our stay.
We highly recommended this property.

Overall lovely! Wifi did not work in the front bedroom which was frustrating. The AC unit also blows extremely hot air onto the lanai which made it extremely difficult to enjoy that area. Location is perfect and hosts were wonderful! Will always return to Kamaole Sands!

Great stay. No major issues for our family of 4. Beautiful location, amazing neighbors clean grounds! We loved our stay in Maui, I cant say this air bnb is the reason- I mean..Its MAUI! The air bnb was clean, close to everything, and the ac unit was a nice touch. One major issue was the washing machine, it was old and did have mold in it. We were NOT able to use it during our stay, which sucked because we LIVED at the beaches during our vacay. So I am sure we tracked loads of sand around the unit. The host quickly tried to rectify the issue by having someone clean? It? The mold and the smell stayed after the “cleaning” so we just did not use it. Overall great stay! If the washer worked I would have nothing to say. Oh, don't show up a MINUTE before your reservation time, you wont be able to get in. :)

Condo is as described, updated kitchen, comfortable king bed, clean, has all the amenities you need. As with all the loft units, the upstairs can be a little warm but they have plenty of fans in addition to the living room a/c unit which kept it comfortable. We had one small issue with a moisture alarm going off and property management was helpful and responsive.

Fantastic location and rental
by Keri
5/5
The location is fantastic, the rental is great. Communication with the property manager was easy. Pros Comfortable beds Great location Assigned parking spot Easy check-in/out In-Fridge water dispenser Good "starter pack" of supplies - TP, paper towel, dish soap Communication with the property manager(s) Cons A/C is only in the main living area and doesn't reach the second bedroom and isn't great at reaching the loft either...there are several fans that do help though. (maybe not in the warmer months) The deck is smaller so when the A/C is running it is too hot to sit out there - this has been mentioned before in other comments Would I stay in this unit and use this property manager again? 100% without hesitation!
Perfect Spot
by Josef
5/5
This property for our family of three was the perfect spot. The property manager we dealt with had someone on site within 90 minutes to fix a minor issue. Beautifully landscaped property, decent pool area and barbecues were cleaned every day. Proximity to a beautiful beach, shopping and restaurants were perfect. If/when we return to Maui without hesitation we will stay at the Kamaole Sands again.
AC Sucks
by Todd
3/5
We really enjoyed our stay. However the only issue we had was the temperature of the AC which is non adjustable. The master bedroom is up in a loft so on the hot days it would get stuffy up there and at night I either slept with a sheet or nothing at all. If I'm on vacation I don't want to deal with stuff like that. I ended up putting a fan on the desk to push colder air up there. We stayed in October so I can only imagine that its worse in the summer. Other than that it was a great place.
Comfortable space, great location
by Chris
5/5
We had a wonderful time at this condo. The only thing that did not quite live up to the description was the A/C unit. It kept the main floor cool but both the loft and front bedrooms were very warm at all times. Other than that, we had a great time and were very happy with the unit and the amenities. Our 8-year-old couldn't get enough of the pool!
Would absolutely recommend!

Overall a lovely stay
by Maribeth
5/5
We felt like overall this unit was very nice. The Lanai is a bit small (which was fine for two people) and otherwise very functional and was very nice to have the ability to use our streaming service for movies/shows in the evening. Location is fantastic for walking or running along the waterfront for miles and for just catching the sunsets. Location also great for snorkeling across the street at Cam three, or up the road a few miles at Ulua Beach. Swimming/body surfing at Cam 1,2or 3 is perfect. Hawaii Moon ( organic/ store) is a short walk away. We had a very nice stay.
I liked everything about our stay.

We had a wonderful stay in Kihei. The unit was updated and well equipped. It was very clean and comfortable. The unit is up to date with great appliances. The grounds were also gorgeous and well maintained. Our family enjoyed both the pool, and the nearness of the beach. The property manager checked in with us by email shortly after we arrived to encourage us to let them know if there were any issues.

Nice and clean apartment at the very heart of Kihei. Sandy beach with toilets and shower just across the street. I've never seen such clean BBQ (they clean it every day) and a really good swimming pool with adults laps swimming at 8am. Also, there were some good features in the room to take on a beach like umbrella, cooler, chairs, boards, etc. Overall we were very happy staying in this property!

Great condo in a great location! This was our first experience with AirBnB and everything went smoothly. The condo is clean, spacious and well stocked. It took a while to cool off because of the high ceilings but once it did, it was very comfortable. Just a short walk to a great swimming beach and a short drive to several great snorkeling areas. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
