We really enjoyed our stay at Sandi’s lovely condo in the Kamaole Sands complex! It is literally a three minute walk to our favorite beach on the island - you just have to go down the elevator and cross the street. We found all the beach gear we needed, except for snorkeling gear, in the closet on the lanai - beach chairs, an umbrella, coolers, boogie boards, and a wagon to pull it down to the beach if you so desire. Beach towels are also provided. The umbrella was old and didn’t work the first time we tried it, but Sandi was super-responsive and right away got us another one that worked great the rest of our trip!
The condo is also located within walking distance to pretty much all you could need - restaurants, shops, rental places, and two other beaches. The closest major grocery store is about five-ten minutes away by car.
The condo decor is tropical and we enjoyed the Hawaiian-themed art throughout. The layout is open and delightful for entertaining or just hanging out. There are plenty of towels of all sorts (which I personally appreciate) and pretty much any kitchen items you might need. We did some cooking there and it was easy. The lighting in the condo seemed superb and the ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom kept the place very cool and comfortable. The bathrooms are both good-sized and the showers seemed newly remodeled.
The partial ocean view from the lanai is a treat, usually with a tropical breeze, and the grounds of the complex are pretty. There was a little traffic noise on S Kihei Road (which is also part of the view - cars and people walking by) at times, mostly in the mornings, so it wasn’t super quiet all the time. But it wasn’t super noisy all the time either. We relaxed there nightly, having a drink and watching the sunset after our long days at the beach!!!
Mahalo, Sandi, for sharing your beach home with us!!
