E Komo Mai! Welcome to our Maui home! In the Hawaiian spirit of ho’okipa (hospitality), we invite you to enjoy our beautifully remodeled home in paradise and the gorgeous oceanfront grounds of Maui Sands Seaside. Our condo is ideally suited to guests who appreciate an elegant, fully equipped, and affordably priced condo that is located garden-view in a quiet oceanfront building. Please note that occupancy is strictly limited to two (2) people.

Much thought and care has gone into making our condo a perfect home-base for discovering the beauty and mysteries of Hawaii. We have been happily renting our condo for 15 years, with many returning guests who've now become friends.

From the comfortable king-size bed and rock-tile shower to the large flat screen tv and fully equipped granite kitchen, you will feel pampered and care-free. Our garden-view lanai even features a sneak peek at the ocean, and only steps from our front door you can access an ocean-front deck with spectacular views of Molokai and Lanai. Our condo is the perfect place to relax and reflect, with tropical adventures within easy walking or driving distance.

We are honored to feature beautiful artwork by local Maui artists, which gives our condo a very contemporary and thoughtful energy. We also offer lots of conveniences including excellent WiFi and a full-size washer/dryer--a wonderful convenience while you're on vacation. We are one of the few owners to employ a professional cleaning and linen company to ensure that our condo is beautifully prepared on-time for your arrival. We do everything we can to ensure that your hard-earned and long-anticipated Maui vacation goes seamlessly!

Maui Sands Seaside is a true West Maui gem—a low-rise, “Old Hawaii” complex featuring lush tropical grounds, coconut palms, and gorgeous ocean-front views of Lana'i and Moloka'i. Located in the Honokowai neighborhood between Ka'anapali and Napili/Kapalua, Maui Sands is across the street from the popular Okazuya Deli (the best take-out on Maui), a fresh fish market, and many other conveniences. A farmers market, natural food store, restaurants, Duke's Maui, shops, ABC store, and large supermarket are all within a ten minute walk of our condo.

Our rates are reasonable and uncomplicated. The nightly rate includes free full-size washer/dryer, in-unit WiFi, parking, and domestic U.S. and Canada calls. We use a professional cleaning company, with hotel-quality linens that are swapped out with each guest and beach towels provided for use during your stay. As a registered vacation rental with the State of Hawaii, we are proudly in full compliance.

In addition to the reviews provided on our listing, here are some additional comments from our guestbook:
'We loved the condo. Very comfortable--a real home away from home.'
'Another great stay at your condo. It really exceeds our expectations!'
'Thank you for letting us use your amazing Maui home. It truly does make you feel right at home here--waking up to the fresh air and breakfast on the lanai. We look forward to staying here again!'
'My husband and I felt so at home here and particularly enjoyed the well equipped kitchen. Wonderful condo at a great price!'
'Super nice and close to everything!'
'What can we say: 'The Best!''
'We loved the condo--you think of all the details.'
'Thank you for this little treasure by the ocean. I really appreciated all the comforts of home and beautiful decor.'

In summary, we believe that a trip to Hawaii can be affordable, while still elegant. We invite you to share the magic of our special spot in paradise! A hui hou!

A lovely space to enjoy our 5 night stay in Maui. Perfect location next to restaurants, shops, and beaches. The bed was comfortable, neighbors were kind, and the proximity to the ocean/beach was ideal. We snorkeled in the water right in front of the property! Can’t say enough great things about our experience. Thank you, Claire and Tracy!

Enjoyed our stay at Claire's condo. All the comfort of a home. Get your groceries and you'll be all set for your stay. This cond doesn't give you the atmosphere of a resort hotel but it is next to the ocean, few steps to the water. Great place to stay for a couple. Very reasonably priced. Very clean and we'll maintained. The parking lot was resbalen during our stay so es weren't able to park at the condo for a day and a half but Claire assumed us of compensación. Great customer service.. Didn't see any bugs in the condo, not a one.

This was our first trip to Maui, and we loved the condo and surrounding area. We loved hearing the ocean waves throughout the day, and we had a beautiful ocean view right outside if our condo door. If you like a quiet and peaceful area, this is a good choice. It is not as crowded and hopping as some of the larger resorts in the area, which we liked. The pictures represented the condo well. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook and relax. We stayed in March, and weather was perfect for us. If you are sensitive to heat, I imagine the unit could get a little warm for the summer, and there is not central AC, so that could be an issue. There is a wall AC in the living room, but not in the bedroom, although there was a ceiling fan and other fan, which we used. It wasn't a problem for us, but that would be my only caveat, especially for summer travel. Overall, great value, excellent location, and a wonderful condo to visit Maui and have as your home base.

Pros…well equipped, nicely decorated, good location in Honowai, good communication with owner. Cons…no direct access to beach, some confusion regarding resort (resort split into two properties with same name, this building not allowed access to grounds, swimming pool).

Loved this location been to island every year for 17 years now. Always tried new places. This location is great so close to grocery stores beaches and food. This condo was quiet and had everything we needed for our stay except the snorkel gear needs to be updated fyi .

This is the second time we have stayed at Claire and Tracy’s condo, and our visit was just as comfortable as the first time! They have clearly made improvements and updates to the unit (bed, appliances, etc), which were great to see. The location was perfect for us, and everything you could possibly need in the unit (beach chairs, snorkels, fully stocked kitchen, towels, books, games, etc). Thanks again Claire and Tracy, we look forward to our next visit!!

Tucked away with beautiful grounds and the ocean outside your door. What else could you ask for?

This condo had everything we needed for our 9 night stay. (Full kitchen, washer & dryer, beach stuff) it was a comfortable stay. Although this is a beach front property..keep in mind that it is not an area where you can swim. The condo is close to all of the popular areas which was very nice. Host was very helpful & friendly.

Seaside place, very beautiful, easy access to beach walk The owner also provide everything just like home, so make the stay very comfortable

My wife and I stayed here for a week. We were pleasantly surprised how close to the beach it is. Most of this complex is perpendicular to the ocean, so while the condo does not face the sea, you can just open the door and walk out to see beautiful views of the ocean. This condo has all the necessities you need. Tip for future travelers: check the middle kitchen island for the pots and pans!

Location was great. The beach access is so much closer than some of the fancy resorts. The washer and dryer were really convenient. The only suggestion I have is another curtain panel in the bedroom. They're slightly too small amd don't completely cover the windows. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again and recommend to friends/family.

We appreciated the perfect rental for our first trip to the Hawaiian Islands. This condo was in a convenient and great location; markets, beaches, food trucks, the works. In addition, the host was 100% reliable. Claire responded to messages quickly and was cool enough to reimburse us for an item we purchased (we had forgotten ours in LA) to keep in the condo for future use. Her place is comfy, accommodating and just wonderful. The sunsets? Sensational. Our one year wedding anniversary was tops thanks to this place. We hope to be back soon :]

Claire's property was perfect for our babymoon. We loved that we could make use of the fully stocked kitchen to cook meals at home while being walking distance to many yummy restaurants (we got fresh seafood from the Fish Market across the street to cook at the condo more than once). Hearing the sounds of the ocean at night was truly peaceful. We made use of the communal deck to watch the sunset most nights and snorkeled in the waters right below. The condo felt like home away from home.

This condo created a truly magical experience for my partner and I, who stayed a week for a much needed holiday. The condo provided for all of our needs, including a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, a washer and dryer and use of snorkel gear (which was a welcome surprise!). It was very clean and the location ideal - across the street from an organic market and an ABC for quick buys. What struck us most was how quiet the entire property was. We found ourselves whispering for the first few days! And the ocean front area is very special - perfect for sunset viewings. We truly cannot wait to go back.

Our stay during November 2021 was very nice and relaxing. The unit was clean, cozy and comfortable. We loved the neighborhood. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and a grocery store just down the street, all within walking distance. We loved having an assigned parking space, although we did come back to the unit one time to find it occupied. (We politely waited and asked that guest to move. So, not a big problem.) We appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit and consider that a big plus for a ten day stay! We would certainly consider staying here again. Claire was a very cordial host. Note: It can get surprisingly hot on the island of Muai, with temperatures in the mid to high 80s. Windows needed to be left open with fans running to circulate the air, all day and everyday. We probably would’ve rated it a five star stay, except that the neighbor below us smoked occasionally on her lanai, and that smoke wafted upwards to our lanai and into the unit. Second hand smoke can be very annoying, if you’re not used to it. Our host thoughtfully and carefully looked into the cigarette smoke situation and notified the resident below, so perhaps it will not be an issue for future guests. Mahalo! Aloha!

Host was very responsive and clear with instructions! This VRBO is in the perfect location and very close to all the best beaches! The condo was very clean and spacious! Would definitely love to come back!

Literally beachfront property, and the beach is beautiful. Great for families or for a romantic getaway or for a friend vacation. This place was very clean, it made me feel like I was at a hotel. So many updates to the property, beautiful kitchen and bathroom. The king size bed was so comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here.

The condo was perfect! It's a quiet property and right on the ocean. Hearing the waves every night as you fall asleep, and being able to take just a few steps to the shared deck to watch the sunrise and sunset was the best. It's close to so many tourist attractions and beaches, and has everything you can think of to need at the beach. Couldn't recommend more!

Hosts have a beautiful condo so completely well equipped you need only bring clothes and food. Very Comfortable and homey two story condo. Steps from the ocean. Can't say enough nice things about our host and their condo. First vacation in a few years and just what I was looking for.

Claire's condo was perfect for my partner and I. Direct beach access with provided beach necessities made it the perfect beach home. The condo itself was very clean, everything worked properly, and the other tenants at the building were all very welcoming. Definitely recommend!



August 2021
Tucked away within a mini garden of eden, this unit is mere steps away from the beach and some of the most stunning views and relaxing sounds you could ever ask for. And after a day or two, it just really starts to feel like home. In fact, coming "home" every evening after a long day of adventure and fine dining was a treat as the bed sleeps wonderfully! If I were you, I would stop reading this review right now and lock your dates in before someone else nabs it up. You'll thank me later!

This was exactly as described! Extremely well stocked condo in a quiet area. Easy to get to anywhere, but nice to come back to at the end of the day. It does get a little warm (expected, as we are in the tropics after all!) but we never ran the air conditioner due to the amazing breeze that comes through the property. I absolutely loved the mature foliage around the building and the charm of the entire place. We did contact the host and she was beyond gracious and helpful-if I could give her and the condo ten stars I would! Thank you for an amazing experience!

We had the best time. The condo was the perfect size for my husband and I and two of our friends. One night we used the full-size kitchen to cook dinner and have some other friends over for a dinner party. It felt more like a family home than a vacation rental. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkels/masks/flippers, and coolers for use on the beach. It was clean and very comfortable. In the closet we found an old scrapbook filled with pictures and newspaper clippings dating back to 1974. It felt very intimate, like we were old friends with the owners of the condo. When it came time to leave we signed the guestbook and said we'd definitely be back!

I booked this unit for friends and they raved about this unit. They absolutely loved the lanai with the gorgeous garden and mature plants and fruit trees. Especially the pineapple plants! They had never seen them growing so it was really fun to walk around with them while they exclaimed over everything they saw. It was the perfect unit for a couple. Quiet, ocean access, and fantastic amenities in the unit.
