Our family of 5 - mom, dad, 2 kids (11 & 13) and grandma - loved our stay at Kamaole Sands. The location was perfect. If you want to minimize drive time to all the east Maui locations (road to Hanna, Haleakala, airport) stay in Kihei. We so appreciated not having to drive an extra hour after doing all of our activities like we had to when we stayed in Kaanapali. The beaches in Kihei are awesome too. They have a great beach to learn to surf called Kalama Beach Park. There are plenty of places to eat and get provisions that are in walking distance from the condo too.
As for the property itself, it was great! Being from Florida, we appreciated the 3 air conditioners in the condo. The unit was very well stocked for our arrival. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal for a family of 5 or more. We also appreciated that the door to the condo has a code so we did not need to carry around a key. There were about 6 beach chairs, a couple of noodles, beach toys, snorkel fins and a rolling cooler provided as well in the outdoor closet.
The only complaint we had is that the mattress in the sofa bed needs to be changed. My kids ended up sleeping with grandma and that was a bit uncomfortable for 10 days. And I want to stress that if they do not change this mattress, do not expect an adult or a child to sleep comfortably in that bed. I tried it as I thought my kids were exaggerating but I only lasted 1/2 an hour. Other than that, the unit was perfect.
