Overview
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

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.

Wonderful!

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!!!
Beautiful apartment
We absolutely loved this apartment. Everything was there that we could want for our stay. The beach across the road had turtles swimming by everyday which was so special. We tried out all the local restaurants and our favourite was the 5 palms, the happy hour goes from 3pm to 9pm with happy hour food too. Ami Ami bar and grill was also a great place to go. We hired bikes from over the road and cycled to Wailea and checked out the designer shops. We used the public bus to get around Kehei. We booked tours from Boss Frogs across the road and found them very nice with compatible prices.
Thank you Wendy and Bob for fantastic accomodation and for your welcome emails and phone call to set us on our way to a perfect holiday.
Many thanks Sally and John Ovens
A Wonderful Experience
Oh, where to begin! Our stay at Wendy and Bob’s condo was fabulous:
This condo is perfectly situately where we found a terrific coffee shop and gelato store. Within walking distance are more restaurants- our favorite was Maui Bistro for Thai-, gift shops and convenience stores. A 90 second walk across South Kihei Road is Kamaole Beach 1. Great snorkeling to the left and right (we saw many green sea turtles).
The condo is bright and airy, and very clean. The lanai is lovely and we enjoyed many dinners out there watching the sun set. The unit is tastefully decorated with Hawaiian accents throughout. We appreciated the many books describing flora and fauna found on Maui. The kitchen is well- appointed with everything needed to cook and eat in. The pantry is stocked with essentials like spices, oils, etc. The bedroom is spacious and the bed comfy.
Wendy provided beach chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards which we used almost daily. There is also snorkeling equipment if needed.
Wendy’s communication with us prior to our arrival was sincerely appreciated. From the welcome phone call and emails with specifics about checking in, to the tips and tidbits about sites to see on Maui, we felt taken care of. My husband and I had never stayed at a VRBO property before and Wendy has set the bar high!
Wendy and Bob, you helped make our 25th anniversary holiday absolutely terrific. We will be back!
Mahalo!

A week in Maui and first use of VRBO.
My wife and I travelled to Maui for a grandchild's wedding. I found this site on VRBO. All contact with Wendy was fast and professional. Her advice by mail and phone was comforting and very informative - the car rental agency she recommended was excellent (picked up at airport and returned).
The suite was comfortable with sunset views, waves hitting the beach and the sound of surf while sitting in the lanai. Art work on the walls added to a feeling of being relaxed and at home. Plenty of island information as well as a welcome basket greeted us on arrival.
We used the kitchen for making coffee, granola/fruit breakfast and the occasional light lunch. If we were to have a longer stay I would do some cooking with all the appliances, a rice cooker, coffee grinder and sharp knives provided. I never used the dish washer but chose to wash by hand in the large sink beacuse we had so few dishes. I used the laundry washer and dryer once (good compact size).
Bright easy to use bathroom vanity and standup shower.
The bedroom had plenty of drawer space with a closet for hanging shirts and dresses. A relaxing bed provided comfortable sleeps.
The breeze from the ocean kept the suite from heating up. We never used the air conditioner.
We took the snorkelling equipment, the boogie boards (great fun) and the rollup bamboo mats to the beach. The outside of the complex has a foot wash station for removing sand.
It was easy to walk to nearby restaurants and walking on the beaches in the morning made this the ideal location for us.
I could write a lot about things to do in the area however this is limited to our accomodation which was absolutely wonderful for us and enhanced by Wendy who is not only an efficient business woman but a considerate host.
PERFECTION ( May 2-9, 2017)
So many times you read a review and are sure it's too good to be true. In this case, even the five star reviews don't come close to capturing this property. Wendy's condo feels like home, but on a beach in paradise! It is comfortable, stocked with everything you could possibly need, is on a beautiful beach with a lifeguard, and is within walking distance to many great restaurants. Sitting on the lanai viewing the sunset and watching the turtles swim by in the water right in front of the condo will forever be special memories. In addition, Wendy is such a great host! She checked in via phone and email before our trip to be sure all our questions were answered and offer suggestions. If you are looking for a stuffy, upscale resort this is not for you. If you want a wonderfully relaxing "home away from home", book today !
Just Right
Loved this condo! Great location. Extremely comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Map
Whale watch from lanai or rent boat from nearby Kihei boat ramp, or take tour with Pacific Whale Foundation at Maalaea Harbour. Take advantage of 'freebies' at nearby Wailea hotels. Phone conceriege to schedule art tours and garden tours at Grand Wailea and Four Seasons, and early morning outrigger canoe tours at the Kea Lani. Enjoy nearby local cafes and restaurants: Cafe a la Plage, Cafe au Lei, and, in particular, the Five Palms, where you can dine right at the ocean. Don't forget the best restaurant in town, the rooftop at Kamaole Beach Royale, where you can bbq, meet other guests and watch the sunset. Or, just stay in 509, order a pizza from next door and watch the beautiful ocean sunset from your private lanai.
