This was our 4th stay at Kamaole Sands but only our 3rd favorite unit.
On the plus side:
- clean unit
- comfortable beds
- two functional air conditioning units
- spectacular location / view for sunsets
Improvements needed (or just a heads-up to those who appreciate these kinds of things):
- only 3 water glasses
- only 2 unmatching wine glasses
- lots of utensils but VERY random (nothing matching)
- no spices
- bring your own cling-wrap (we love it when owners supply the convenient big-box store roll, but of course, we shouldn't expect that)
- no tupper-ware bowls for leftovers
- beach gear in need of a serious refresh:
-- only 1 Tommy Bahama chair (in very rough shape)
-- only 1 quality boogie board (+3 broken cheap styrofoam boards probably ok for little ones)
-- 1 decent but not overly large sun umbrella
-- 1 beach wagon (good shape - yay!)
- patio furniture very basic; comfortable for 10 mins then 'not-so-much'
NOTE: if you haven't stayed at Kamaole before, Bldg. 5 is not great for accessing the BBQ's (long haul) so do keep that in mind.
Owner was generally very responsive but when we asked if we could refresh certain items for the unit for them, unfortunately, we didn't hear back until it was too late in our trip (but hopefully things have been updated since).
All in all, an ~ok unit for the price but we can't rate it more than 3 stars. We appreciated the beds, AC, cleanliness, and view - but the unit really needs some refreshing to be a 4 or 5. Mahalo!
