Kihei Condo Rental Photos and Description
Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)
E Komo Mai! Welcome to Kamaole Beach Royale, our home away from home.
We enjoy a spectacular view of the beach, the ocean, and the neighbour islands from the fifth floor of Kamaole Beach Royale, a six-storey, building situated right across the street from Kamaole Beach #1. Kamaole Beach #1 is one of three famous beaches within walking distance, and was voted Maui’s #1 swimming beach by Maui Revealed, (2012 Edition).
Our condo, which we purchased in March, 2011, is tastefully furnished and decorated, featuring original Hawaiian artwork gathered over the many years our family lived on Maui, Hawaii’s “Valley Isle”.
In the last few months we purchased high-quality linens, bath towels, beach towels, and “Hawaiiana” designer dishes. We installed luxurious, durable 'Smart Strand Silk' carpeting in our living room and bedroom. Our kitchen is fully-stocked with everything you need to enjoy home-cooked dinners on our ocean-view lanai. We keep pantry essentials stocked for our guests, including tea, coffee, spices, olive oil and vinegar.
Our master bedroom has a television, telephone, and queen-sized bed with 800 thread count sheets and custom, designer bed spread. If you need extra sleeping space, we have an electric, queen-sized air bed for your convenience. A five panel shoji screen (stored under bed) provides a private sleeping space.
We are pleased to offer our guests the use of our many beach toys, including two quality snorkel sets (man’s and woman’s mask, fins, and snorkel) beach chairs, umbrella, frisbees, various beach balls, and coolers and “cold bags” - great for picnics on the beach or for hiking up Haleakala. We have binoculars on hand for whale-watching from the lanai during whale season (December - April).
We provide complementary high-speed Wi Fi and toll-free calling to the US mainland and to Canada. Our condo is maintained on an ongoing basis with assistance from our on-island representatives and cleaners, Eric and Cathy, who make sure everything is in place prior to your arrival. They are available to provide any assistance you might need during your stay.
The views from our private lanai are especially spectacular at sunset. At sunrise the tiny island birds will greet you from the palm tree fronds that reach the lanai, and, if you provide even the slightest encouragement, they will be on the lanai with you.
Kamaole Beach Royale is a beautifully landscaped, concrete-frame, and, therefore, incredibly quiet building. Take advantage of the lovely pool and surrounding gardens, and, as a special treat, visit the KBR rooftop garden which is equipped with tables, lounges and commercial grade BBQ’s. Enjoy the 180 view from the rooftop garden and meet other KBR guests over a sunset drink.
Or, just chill out on your private lanai in # 509 and watch the sun slowly set over the ocean and the neighbour islands. If you like, try our conch shell on the lanai: it's a Hawaiian tradition to blow the conch at sunset. If you need a conch lesson, take in the free hulu show and torch-lighting ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel in Wailea. (Ask the torch lighter for some insider tips;-)
We hope you enjoy our home away from home as much we do.
With much Aloha,
Wendy & Bob

About Wendy Watson
Owners are Bob & Wendy Watson from
Langley, British Columbia. We are pictured on an evening at Five Palms Beach Grill - one of our favourite spots.
We have a long history with Maui, Hawaii’s “Valley Isle”. Wendy's parents lived in Kihei for twenty years; our now-grown children have fond memories of Christmases with Nannie and Poppa, learning to boogie board at the Kamaole beaches when they were little and, when they were older, learning to surf at Charlie Young beach, just up the street.
In 2005, after Mom and Dad moved back to British Columbia, Kamaole Beach Royale became our new family vacation home. In March, 2011, we were thrilled to be able to buy our beautiful condo here at KBR and to share it with our family, our friends and our guests: you!
“E Komo Mai”. Welcome to our home away from home!
Much Aloha,
Wendy
Wendy Watson purchased this condo in 2011
Why Wendy Watson chose Maui
Kamaole Beach Royale, located at Kamaole Beach #1 in South Kihei, Maui, is one of only 3 concrete-framed apartments in Kihei. As a result, our apartment has exceptional views and is also exceptionally quiet.
What makes this condo unique
My husband, Bob and I loved this apartment as soon as we walked in. It has a breathtaking view and is furnished in a tasteful yet comfortable style. Since buying the apartment in 2011, we have updated our already lovely 'home away from home' to ensure we have provided everything a guest might need on a vacation to the 'Valley Isle'.
We are pleased to offer our guests high-speed wireless internet connection and free long distance to U.S and Canada.

Paradise--without a doubt!!
This property was everything and more that it was described to be! The kitchen is well equipped with all the tools you need to prepare meals in the kitchen or barbecue on the 7th floor--a great place to meet other tenants as well. The view is unbelievable--we were fortunate to be able to watch the whales along the coast, and the views of the beach and the sunsets are gorgeous. The location is perfect with access to reasonably priced restaurants right across the street. The beach is nearby as well and the condo provides all the beach chairs, towels, and equipment needed to enjoy the your time in the sun. Love falling asleep to the sound of the ocean--we will definitely return!!!
Spectacular ocean view
The view is unobstructed and panoramic. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you needed both in the way of dishes as well as spices. We spent a lot of time on the lanai which is very private, enjoying the 180 degree view of the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves. The condo is clean, comfortable and centrally located near to a variety of shops, equipment rentals, and several good restaurants. Several beaches are nearby and the condo provides towels and all the equipment to enjoy the water and the sand.
We would recommend the free Hula show at the Wailea Shops on Tuesdays and Thursdays, especially if you have children.
We appreciated the attention to detail that Wendy and Bob provided--it helped make our stay memorable.
The basket of goodies to welcome us was a touch of class. We will be back

AMAZING PLACE!
My husband and I loved our stay at Wendy's place. We hope to stay again one day. Words can't describe how wonderful the condo is. It really nice and clean and the view is just spectacular! Mahalo Wendy for everything.
Views were wonderful and condo was very nice. Enjoyed working with Wendy.
The beaches and water were great. The weather was a hot but we did visit during the hottest time of the year. The location of the condo was very neutral and we could easily travel to any location on the Island. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a nice and centrally located condo. Thank you Wendy for the delightful guest basket and for taking such good care of all of our needs.
Awesome location, very comfortable, live like a local!
My sister and I really enjoyed our stay here in July. The location was perfect, so close to the beach and walking distance to a variety of restaurants. She could wake up early go on a run on the beach, while I'd wake up and jump in the ocean. It was so nice to have the option to choose what each one of us wanted to eat, it really contributed to both of us enjoying our vacation to the fullest. I actually ended up sleeping on the lanai several nights, there was a full moon during our stay. I was able to wake up at 5 am and watch the full moon descend into the ocean from our lanai, was one of the most amazing experiences ever. I'd fall asleep to the sound of the waves and the glow of the moon. The sunsets were beautiful and it was nice to go up to the rooftop as well. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The condo feels very comfortable and like a home away from home, I liked all the little touches and hawaiian artwork. We had everything we needed and we enjoyed living like a "local" as much as possible. I've stayed in many resorts in Hawaii and once in Kaanapali, I definitely prefer condos over the resorts. Mahalo Wendy for sharing your home!
Great location, beautiful view, friendly owner
The condo is as easy as can be. Checkin and checkout were a breeze and Wendy was great with communicating when we had some questions before our stay. The place was clean and had everything we needed for a week in Maui. We loved having the washer/dryer so we could pack light, and enjoyed coffee on the lanai in the mornings and sunset from the lanai in the evening. The beach is very close, we were able to walk there with our three year old and carry our chairs (provided at the condo) and snacks no problem. The beach does get very windy around lunchtime so make sure you get there early to enjoy it. Thank you Wendy for a wonderful stay!
