We stayed in K103 for 9 nights in September and absolutely loved it! The unit was very private and quite - even with the pool just over the bushes. The unit really is close to that teriffic upper pool. We found the registration and check out to be easy and without incident. Susan and Mark were the best to work with - we felt their prices were very reasonable and they have everything in the unit to make your stay even better - if you need something else just ask. We loved Maui Kamoale so much that we've just decided to come to Maui over Christmas and New Years and will be staying there again - just not in this unit since it's already taken. If you like to walk, there is quick access to beaches and restaurants and there is a path leading down to Kihei road, very managable. Fred's has the best prices for morning Mary's and you can't beat the food! Or walk the beach upto the Marriot and cut through to eat at Longhi's in the Wailea mall. Beautiful!

We loved Maui (and K103) so much last year, that we decided that we had to come back this year. Coming back to K103 was like coming back home. Thank you again for a wonderful 2 week stay. We found everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, mats etc...) and the laundry facilities. It is so nice to go on a holiday and not have to worry about anything. Thank you again for opening your home to us. We hope to be back again next year. All the best to you and your family.

K-103 was absolutely amazing! We were there for our honeymoon, and this place provided such peace and relaxation, not to mention, it just felt like home. It was so great having access to a full kitchen with appliances, a refrigerator to store groceries in, tv's in both living room and bedroom etc. The boogie board DEFINITELY came in use too :)
The scenery you are surrounded by is just absolutely beautiful with all of the different flowers. After staying here, there is NO WAY we could've possibly stayed in or even want to stay in a hotel. Why do that when you can have it all at K-103. It was so awesome to be close enough to stores and restaurants as well. This place was in the PERFECT location as the beach was just right across the street. It was also awesome that even though you are surrounded by a lot, the exact location of the condo was perfect that you could lounge around and sleep at night at peace. This trip was absolutely amazing. I had the most perfect honeymoon and I can't even thank you guys enough for being so gracious to provide such a great place for people to stay :)

Thank You!!!

I would not hesitate to recommend K103 to anyone.

April 21-28/09 I was in Maui for a one week jaunt. I felt right at home in K-103 as it is totally equipped, immaculate, great location and a bed to die for (so black and quiet at night). The grounds/pools in this complex are awesome - - you know you are in paradise. Susan and Mark, thanks for being so acccommodating about everything and hopefully I will return soon.

K-103 is located in the Maui Kamaole complex and is a large, very clean, well equipped place to call home while in Maui. We found nothing we were lacking, from the very well equipped kitchen, a plethora of beach equipment, easy access to the pool, BBQ's, and parking. Great bed! Easily will accomodate four people. Susan and Mark do a fantastic job keeping their condo's in top condition and are very good to deal with.

Our family rented K-103 the last week of March and we absolutely loved our stay! The condo had everything we needed and more...boogy boards, cooler, umbrella, beach mats, tupperware - it was stocked way beyond our expectations. And the unit itself is very large - lots of room for the kids to spread out their stuff. We loved having a ground floor unit because the kids can just zip out the sliding door and go around the corner to the pool. We will definitely be back!

My family of four stayed in K103 March 10-23 and had a fabulous time. I would recommend this condo to anyone who asked as it was lovely. It was nicely decorated, spotless and included all the amenities you would need. Susan was a pleasure to deal with and always replied quickly anytime I had a question. Maui Kamaole is a beautiful property with vegetation, birds and flowers. Sitting on the lanai is so peaceful and relaxing. The tropical pool and the tennis courts are just steps away. Beaches are all within walking distance or a short drive. It is obvious Mark and Susan take great pride in their unit and we will definitely return.

We had an extremely relaxing stay at the K103 unit. This was our third time to Maui, and it is always incredibly difficult to leave; Maui truly is a heavenly place to spend time unwinding and recharging those batteries.

The unit had all the amenities we needed (the umbrellas were a huge hit in the mid day heat) and even though it was only a one bedrom, it was very spacious and accommodated four people very comfortably. The lanai was perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or glass of wine and just a few seconds to the pool. We had all that we needed to make this our home away from home in paradise.

We will for sure keep the unit in mind for future vacations, as no doubt we’ll be back next year.

We stayed in K103 for 11 nights in January and really enjoyed everything about our stay. The things that were important to us were all in place. We have holidayed extensively in Hawaii, Mexico and the southern US and have stayed all kinds of different places--from 5 star resorts and hotels to apartments, rustic bungalows and Mexican hotels. We have found that over-the-top luxury does not necessarily provide the same satisfaction as finding a place that is homey, safe, well-stocked, that is in a quiet location with a nice pool area and barbeques and offers close-at-hand opportunities for some beach and shopping time and long morning walks. The location and set up of this condo has all these attributes. So for us, we think it is a winner. Our plan is to come back again next year.

After alot of research online, I selected this condo (K103)for a one week stay. My priorities were quiet, comfortable bed and immaculate. This condo met all my expectations and more. The condo is equipped with everything. There was even a curling iron, straightening iron and hairdryer in the bathroom. The kitchen was also fully equipped with tupperware, dishes, pots and pans, etc. There are full size double closets in the master bedroom not to mention the additional closets in the hallway. It seriously does feel like home away from home. Susan and Mark are great to deal with and Maui Kamaole is professionally run. Impressed enough to come again and rent for another 3 weeks next year.

Aloha!

We just returned from our 7/19-7/26 stay in K-103. It really is a beautiful condo in a very nice place. Our long awaited vacation was everything we had hoped for. The location is at the very South end of Kihei -- upscale and quiet. We explored Kihei extensively and I did not find any other complex that I would have rather chosen. The walk to the excellent beach takes about 8 min. I just re-read the "promo" material and there is not one thing that I would dispute or modify. Susan was so pleasant to work with. I would return to this unit and I would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

We stayed in K103 from 7/10 through 7/17. Very clean, comfortable and eye appealing. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed for meals we prepared and we really appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella! The location was perfect for our trip. Thanks to the Simpsons for being so accomodating.

Our stay at K103 was wonderful. My girlfriend and I enjoyed everything about the condo. The unit truly was a home away from home. Everything you could think of was included. The beach equipment was particularly useful. I would recommend this place to anyone. Reserving and checking in was a breeze. Susan and Mark Simpson were very accomodating.

We stayed in the condo 6/9 - 6/16 and had a wonderful time. The condo was clean, and the kitchen had all the necessities for cooking meals. The pool by the K section is quite nice as is the lanai. I recommend this unit to any traveling to Maui. The location is great for any beach activities!

We really enjoyed our stay in K103. The condo was so wonderfully furnished and clean. Very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for the meals we prepared. We especially enjoyed grilling, the grill was so easily accessable. The beach chairs and umbrella were a real bonus (as well as the boogie boards!) The grounds were so lovely, such wonderful flowers, vegetation and birds. Such a treat for us coming from a long Alaska winter. The beach access was perfect, across the street or just a short drive or jog to some great snorkeling. Also, some fun restaurants within walking distance--one of our favorites was a local place, Da Kitchen. Thank you, Susan and Mark for sharing your home and being such wonderful hosts, even from a distance. We felt so welcome and looked after. We hope to return and will definitly recommend your unit to our friends.

We so enjoyed are relaxing stay at Susan and Mark's beautiful condo, located in the well-planned Maui Kamaole complex. K103 is found in the perfect location, near the gorgeous waterfall pool and away from busy South Kihei Road. This clean unit is the best equipped of all that we have rented at this property. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, tatami mats, two televisions, DVD/VCR/Stereo, overhead fans in all rooms, good quality cook ware, and even laundry detergent for use by guests. Maui Kamaole is one of the newer, more deluxe complexes in South Maui, located just across from Kamaole III Beach; there are two pools (one lap and one freeform), two jacuzzis, beautifully landscaped grounds, gas BBQs, and night security. Traveling to Maui at this time of year allows the wonderful opportunity to whale watch. We were lucky to see all types of whale activity: pectoral slaps, breaching, and fluke diving. Spectacular! From beginning to end, Susan and Mark Simpson have been a pleasure with whom to work as they are truly sincere in wanting their guests to have a marvelous vacation. Maui No Ka Oi!

We have just returned from a two week stay in K103. As regular visitors to Maui I feel I can give a good evaluation on condo rentals there. K103 by far surpassed any other condo we have rented. It was incredibly clean and so well equipped right down to romantic candles, beach chairs, boogie boards, swim fins, etc. all in good shape. Everything had been well thought out right down to a huge container of laundry detergent, for the in suite washer and dryer. We had a fabulous time! The unit is located in a very quiet and private area but still right near the pool and BBQ. The beach is across the street.Maui Kamaole is generally upscale bordering on Wailea. I can't say enough good things about Mark and Susan, the owners of the condo. They phoned to make sure everything was ok and we were happy. They were courteous and friendly and now we feel like friends who just happen to share their home away from home. We intend to return, absolutely, no doubt about it. I recommend this condo to anyone and everyone. Kihei has the best weather on Maui so go for it!!!! Book this unit, you won't be disappointed!

K-103 worked out very well for our family of four. The layout was super-- the kids slept in relative comfort on the hide-a-bed while Mom & Dad enjoyed the great master bedroom. We were especially pleased with all of the unit's "extras," including good quality boogie-boards, beach chairs, and towels. The kitchen was very well equipped too. And beyond all of this, Mark and Susan are super people to deal with: friendly and considerate as well as efficient. (No, they're not paying us to say this-- nor are we related!) In short, we had a lovely time in K-103.

The condo and the whole complex was really nice!!! It was so nice and calm, very clean, very very well equipped and we felt completely at home during our 11 days on Maui. It was my 10th time in the island and this was far the best accomodation I had! I would recommand the K-103 to everyone and would chose it anytime again!

We had a wonderful stay at Maui Kamaole! The apartment was very comfortable, private and clean. In addition, the grounds are wonderful and the condo is almost directly across from Kamaole III (wonderful beach). Located on the border of Wailea, there are wonderful oceanfront walks -- the entire experience was a real treat!

We had a wonderful stay in K103. Susan and Mark have the condo fully stock with everything we could ever need for a relaxing Hawaiian vacation. We loved the location and how nice the property/condo/staff was. This was our best trip to Maui by far and can't to return to K103!

Susan and Mark's condo was a wonderful home base for our first trip to Maui. We'd reserved it online and were very pleasantly surprised to find it much more comfortable and spacious than we'd expected. It was completely furnished with everything you need for a carefree stay (including Hawaiian music CDs!), and the location was perfect for exploring all parts of Maui. You'd never go wrong staying here and the only problem you'll encounter is never wanting to leave!

Our stay at the Maui Kamaole was great. The grounds are lush and well kept. Area is quiet and peaceful (with the exception of a bird with a loud voice and a 6am daily wake up time...:-)).
K103 was clean, bug free and provided pretty much everything we needed for our Maui stay. Lots of beach goodies - towels, umbrella, buckets & shovels, boogies boards.
The Maui Kam is minutes away from the beautiful beaches of Wailea...or if that 's too far, the pool is no more than a 30 sec stroll from the unit.
Booking with Susan was easy. I would stay here again and wouldn't hestitate to recommend. It's a great choice!

The condo was very nice - centrally located, close to the beach, restaurants etc. It had everything we needed, including a flashlight for the trip to Haleakala crater at 3:00am, boogie boards, beach chairs etc. We loved the proximity to the pool as well. We'll definitely recommend it to our friends

We recently enjoyed a "girlfriends getaway" week without the husbands or kids at Susan & Mark's Maui Kamaole K-103 unit. I have stayed at many rental condos in the past and this unit was particularly well furnished. Everything we needed to go on day trips or to the beach was provided. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was well appointed and able to accommodate any dish that we chose to prepare. I was also impressed by quality of the beaches that were within walking distance of the condo -- excellent for swimming, playing AND snorkeling. Mornings and evenings on the lanai were a real treat. We had a great stay -- thanks!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was very well appointed, with all the necessities in the kitchen and great equipment for the beach (chairs, towels, etc). The grounds of the complex are well maintained with lovely flowering trees and shrubs. The tennis courts and nearby beaches were our favorite activities. Within a few minutes drive you can pick between several public beaches with lifeguards, washrooms and showers. Overall a great place to stay.

Thank you for allowing us to use your condo. Although our stay was short, we enjoyed our time at K103. There was everything we needed and found the cupboards well stocked, organized and clean. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed being outside and using the tropical pool. Getting around by car is fairly easy. Love the Hawaiian temperature. A very enjoyable holiday that we hated to end. Hope to return again.

My husband and I spent 3 weeks in K103 - our second trip to Maui and the 2nd time we stayed in this unit. It is very comfortable and is well equipped with a complete kitchen setup and the unit is beautifully furnished. Couldn't ask for better accomdations. The complex is gorgeous and very well maintained. This complex is quiet and although it is on South Kihei road it is away from the commercial area and the noise (a few blocks). Being across the street from several public beaches is a real bonus. Our favourite beach is Keawakapu - beautiful uncrowded sandy beach which is easily accessed and has good parking facilities if one prefers to drive over instead of walking with beach chairs and all the other paraphenlia ones needs for a day at the beach. We will be back! Thanks to Susan and Mark Simpson for sharing their beautiful home with us.

The last time we stayed at the Maui Kamaole we were in Unit K103. We really enjoyed it. The back door is so close to the pool that we could pop over for a swim at the drop of a hat. The secluded hot tub surrounded in greenery and floored with sand is a wonderful place to relax at night and watch the stars come out.
The barbecue, (a Weber gas grill) is just a few steps away from the front door on a pleasant patch of lawn. It's one of many in the facility so there's no waiting in line to use it. My wife wants me to say that the kitchen is fully equipped for her indoor cooking, too. "And don't forget to mention that there are hair dryers," she adds. I'll take her word on that one. But there are lots of things available in the unit like grass beach mats, coolers, beach chairs etc., so all you have to do is pack your clothes and buy your groceries. It's very easy to feel at home and have a relaxing vacation.
One thing that pleasantly surprised me was that there are two TV sets, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. That was nice for us because my wife and I don't like the same shows. It would be great for families with kids. The rooms are nicely furnished with attractive furniture and art work. Staying in K103 was comfortable, convenient and thoroughly enjoyable.

We so enjoyed our stay in Unit K103 at the Maui Kamaole. The unit is beautifully furnished, tropical and restful with all the amenities you need for a cozy peaceful vacation. A small unobtrusive swimming pool is only a few steps away just beyond the barrier hedge. We loved eating on the secluded lanai overlooking the cool greenery of the grounds. A second lanai off the bedroom offers a quiet shady spot to curl up with a good book.
Ten minutes walk from the front door is one of our favorite beaches, Kamaole III. It offers grass for picnics, sand for sunning and very good snorkeling where you can spot anything from big turtles to reef fish, big and little, darting among the coral. If you prefer contained nature rather than wild, the awesome Maui Ocean Center is a half hour drive away and is an excellent place to familiarize yourself with the fish you have been seeing off Kamaole Beach. Kihei itself offers lots of shopping as well as being a good starting place for sightseeing the entire island, but it is the unit itself that calls you back home with its quite serenity, comfortable furnishings and family friendly atmosphere.
