Spectacular forever ocean views await from your lanai and caressing tropical breezes blow right off the ocean.
Kamaole I Beach is one of Maui's best stretches of sand and will be your gateway to the meandering beach path that meanders for miles to the South, past the Wailea resorts and Kamaole II and III Beaches. Located in the heart of South Maui's beach culture, you are a block from Kihei's best surf break, across the street from kayak/SUP rentals, and a short walk to more than a dozen great restaurants and a grocery store.
Nature has seen to the spectacular view and soothing ocean, and the loving owners of this well-appointed condo have done the rest. Split system air conditioning tempers Kihei's year-round summer temperatures, ultra-fast internet keeps you connected, and a comfortable king mattress will lull you to sleep and help you prepare for the next day's adventure.
Enjoy Maui's astonishing sunsets, cook full-scale island feasts on the gas grill and fully equipped kitchen, or hang with the gentle, grazing sea turtles you are likely to see right out front. During whale season (November to April), you will have a private front row seat to the antics or launch a kayak from right out front and enjoy a special close-range adventure.
The kitchen features elegant custom bamboo cabinetry, granite surfaces, full sized stainless appliances, microwave, and coffee maker. Upgraded cable streams through a wall-mounted Smart TV.
There is nothing like being beach front on Maui to make your vacation one you will never forget. Your designated parking space and a shared laundry room are just downstairs.

The condo was well equipped and clean. We were very comfortable. You cannot beat having coffee on the patio as you watch the morning waves crash. Absolutely would stay here again.
Beautiful place on the water, easy parking off the main drag of Kihei Road. Whale watching on your ocean view lanai and every evening it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset.
We had a great time at this spot for our week long honeymoon. The views for our nightly sunset were always included and always amazing. We saw whales, turtles, and seals all from the small beach in front of us. The unit is stocked with everything that you’d need and is close to shopping. We would absolutely love to return and stay here again!
Great location! Beautiful and quiet setting close to the water. It was clean and bed was comfortable. Definitely would stay here again! Mahalo!

Punahoa Stay
Location, location! Oceanfront, great views, easy access to beach (couple minute walk), small complex. All beach equipment available. Had all of the necessities for a comfortable stay.
This was at a pefect location! Right by the beach, close to several restaurants/food trucks and centrally located to visit many spots around Maui.
The apartment itself was comfortable and had everything we needed for a few days. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed this condo and its beautiful view of the ocean and stunning sunsets! Coffee in the morning on the lanai and a glass of wine in the evening was amazing! Very private and quiet location. The condo was spacious for the 2 of us and the king bed was so comfortable! We were able to walk to beaches, restaurants and Three’s for appetizers! Overall everything we were looking for!
Above all, great view! Had everything we needed and the property manager was very communicative ahead of our stay. Area definitely is fun and we enjoyed the local restaurants nearby, but not quite as nice as further south in Kihei and especially Wailea. Great time though!

Wonderful
This place was absolutely wonderful! Right on the ocean and very close to a good beach. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler. The kitchen had every appliance and utensil you could want. Our host was very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. We definitely felt at home here.
I would highly recommend this spot for your next Maui experience. It had everything we needed including beach equipment to use. Very comfortable and tucked away from the main road. The view we had every day from this place was stunning and it was unbelievable that the ocean just a short walk away. Very comfortable bed as well. There are so many places downtown and around that you will have lots of food choices and nightlife if you want it. We will be back and stay again.

Great Location
The property’s location is amazing. Right on the coast and easy walk in town and shops and restaurants. Well furnished but the balcony area hadn’t been cleaned for sometime - we had to clean it before using it. Even though the building had been checked and designated ready for use we weren’t allowed access until 4pm - which is the published time but felt a bit petty. All in all a great condo.
We loved the location of this unit and especially loved the ocean view with the high surf in January. Whales were aplenty to watch. Nearness to Kamaole Beaches was an easy walk for morning enjoyment. The unit could use some modernizing in terms of wall decor and furniture. There is no pool. The lanai is a very nice place to enjoy morning coffee and meals. Overall a good place to enjoy.
I’ve stayed at other rentals on the same street on previous trips to Maui and this one is by far my favorite. The property has amazing views and right on the water.
Everything was clean and they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. You can snorkel right on the beach in front of the property and the Charlie young beach is only a 2 min walk from here and area is great for beginner surfers. Every amenities you can think of is also a 5 min walk away. Would definitely book this place again. The property management has great communication and we had no problems during our stay at all.
If these condos offered other units with more bedrooms, I definitely recommend for a family. We stayed in one of their one bedroom condos.
We booked this condo for its location and view and they did not disappoint! We loved it. The condo is comfortable with all amenities you might need. We knew from the other reviews that the furniture is dated, so it was not a surprise. The couch in the living room need to be replaced and the cabinets in the kitchen fixed. It also would be nice to have more shampoo and conditioner (sample size only was provided), some oil and at least start up coffee pods for the first morning after your arrival. Other than that our stay was wonderful. It's a lovely small condo building right on the snorkeling beach and few steps from sandy beach. We enjoyed watching turtles, whales and surfers from the balcony. The location is very central for Kihei. Loved our stay and would recommend it.
My husband & I did NOT want to leave this condo! The unit was perfect for the 2 of us - you are paying for an unbeatable view of the ocean/sunset and to be steps away from surfing, great beaches & downtown. The unit itself was a little dated & we had a few ants on the counter (despite storing all of our food in the fridge), but neither of those things would keep us from staying here again. Also some of the reviews mention tight parking - we had a Pathfinder & were fine, though very close to our neighbors' spot. If you're renting a bigger car - or are less confident in your parking abilities - there is plenty of street parking all around!
