Pros: The view was truly exceptional! Turtles on shore every day. Playful whales breaching. The lanai was our favorite spot. Pillows on the king bed were sooooo comfy! I would actually love to know where they were purchased from so I can buy my own. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to cook and clean. Lots of space in the living and kitchen area combined. The condo was clean and close to nearby resorts, shops and beach access. The place was quiet and relaxing. The pool was never busy or overcrowded. The host was easy to reach and communicate with. Cons: The tv in the bedroom did not work. The host responded quickly when I reached out and had somebody on site come take a look. Unfortunately, the tv never got replaced nor fixed during our 11 day stay. I would have gladly purchased a tv for reimbursement. This wouldn’t have been a huge issue except my husband and kids like to watch tv in the bed and fall asleep to it. So it made sleeping arrangements challenging without it and only left us with 1 tv in the living room. The tvs were pretty small too. Supplies were very limited for 11 days. There were only 3 wash cloths, we ran out of toilet paper, laundry soap and garbage bags. We ended up purchasing more and left them behind. The bathtub did not have a drain plug so my small kids couldn’t take baths, showers only. All in all, the pros definitely outweighed the cons (which were minimal) and our annual visit to Maui was much enjoyed.

We really liked the secluded nature of the room, the ease of the ground level exit to ocean front and reserved parking in the small lot close to room.

Beautifully decorated condo with all the amenities anyone would need. Whale watching from this condo was wonderful. Our host Laura is the best! We had an issue with the tv and she had the local cable company there the next day and the same with the door lock, when it quit working she had it replaced immediately. Communication with Laura was very easy. I feel like I’ve made a new friend!

I stayed at this unit for 9 nights with my family of four (two adults and two kids, ages 20 and 13). I was initially a bit hesitant because the most recent review was from December 2024, so I wanted to leave a more up-to-date review.If possible, I would rate the stay 4.5 stars.PositivesThe location is excellent — close to the water and within walking distance of Times grocery store and several very popular eateries. We were able to see turtles and whales from the balcony. The kitchen is well-stocked and we used it regularly, as well as the BBQ grill. The on-site laundry facility was convenient, and the site keep the grills super clean. There is plenty of common space in the unit for everyone to relax. We played board games and read some of the books available in the unit.MinusesThe biggest downside for us was the internet. Outside of about 2–5am, the connection was extremely slow — often too slow to even load Google. After a few days, I contacted management and was advised to restart the router. The speed improved briefly, then returned to being slow again. Several reviews mentioned that the unit is a bit dated. This wasn’t a major issue for us, and the kitchen has been nicely updated. However, some kitchen utensils could use replacement — the plastic spatulas are partially melted and would be better in a heat-resistant material like silicone. There were also quite a few small ants, though they didn’t really bother us once we got used to them.

Loved our stay! The location was amazing. We saw other places and never once regretted staying here. We could see whales and sea turtles from the lanei. So close to the ocean. We spent many hours sitting on the lanei watching the whales, sea turtles and listening to the waves. Would definitely suggest to anyone who wants to stay in this part of Maui!

From the moment we opened the door and saw the breathtaking ocean view, we knew we had found something special. This condo exceeded our expectations in every way. The décor is beautiful, it was very clean, and the space had a cozy, homey feel that made it so comfortable.We loved the location—perfectly tucked between Kaanapali Beach and Kapalua Beach—giving us easy access to some of Maui’s best spots while still enjoying the slower, laid-back pace of Maui Sands. It truly felt like the best of both worlds.The condo was stocked with everything we needed (and more), which made our stay easy and enjoyable. We especially loved opening the louvers to let the ocean breeze flow through while listening to the waves. Hanging out on the patio and watching sea turtles swim by was simply unforgettable.Laura, the owner, was wonderful to work with—very responsive, thoughtful, and caring. She even reached out immediately during a tsunami warning to make sure we were safe, which meant so much to us.We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to return to Maui again. When we do, this condo will be our first choice!

We had an unforgettable stay in Lahaina. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the stunning ocean views right from the living room. Every morning, we enjoyed our coffee while watching the sun rise over the water—there's something magical about the way the colors change as the day begins.The condo itself is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with a tropical vibe that instantly made us feel at home. The kitchen is fully equipped with glasses, dishes and pots and pans. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with a shower. We also appreciated how well-maintained the property was. The building's common areas were always clean, and the pool area was an added bonus for a relaxing afternoon. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making it easy to enjoy both the serenity of the location and the convenience of local amenities.The owner, Francesco, was very communicative and gave us great recommendations for local activities. I would definitely stay there in the future.

This is an absolutely awesome condo. The property has a series of 2 story condos--with ample grassy areas. This condo overlooks the ocean. You are really close to coffee, grocery store and pastries (apparently Papi's Ohana has amazing cinnamon rolls--I just couldn't justify the 1-2 hour wait in line. We opted for Pau's instead.) Easy striking distance to great beaches. The amenities in the condo were great: beach gear (including 4 chairs), snorkling gear, coolers, umbrellas, etc.) The complex has an ice machine at the pool for loading up the ice chests. The condo has a washer and dryer and was well stocked with detergent (though we had already purchased some before our arrival.) The AC works great in the bedrooms--we didn't bother in the main room. The kitchen had everything you would need--and stuff we didn't realize we needed (example pineapple corer--who knew?) There's a fresh fish market across the street (though I think Time Market was cheaper) and the barbeque at the pool was awesome. I would come back in a heartbeat. The facility appears to have been around for a while (its not one of those brand spanking new condos)--but looks can be deceiving--it has been well maintained and boy was it perfect for our family. We also rented another condo nearby at the same complex for the rest of the family.) We have stayed at multiple different locations in this area over the past 30 years and this was by far our favorite spot.

Location was perfect for walking to shops and food. Older condo but in good condition. Little hard to get down to the water as it was high tide a lot of the time but we were able to enjoy beach time regardless.

This was our second time staying in this unit. And we will be back for sure! All of the little extras make a big difference.. from the kitchen stocked up like home... to the water / beach supplies ready to use.Complex is clean. Got to watch turtles and whales from the lanai. Always sad to leave

This place was incredible. Pictures are 100% accurate and you can have breakfast on the deck and watch whales breach and turtles swim by without every leaving your chair. Very quiet enviroment. Excellent place to swim and snorkel right out front with steps from the property down to the water. Sand beach if you prefer is a block away and easy to access. Well stocked with many of the basic spices paper towels etc. All the necessary cooking equipment, quiet efficient dishwasher. Washer and dryer in unit. Closet stocked with all the beach/ ocean stuff you can imagine, masks, snorkels, flippers, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach hats-etc.Beds and pillows were super comfortable and great ocean sounds to fall asleep to. Grounds of entire place were always clean and well maintained walkways.Parking was easy. This place is very close to good eating establishments. I honestly cant say enough good things about this place.

We travelled here with our 4 kids ages 2-9 and it was great. My husband and I rarely see eye to eye on a place being a good size and niceness (generally his standards are much higher than mine.) We walked in the door and the first thing he said was "this is nice." It was a perfect location by beaches, great food options, and the other people staying in the complex were very nice and friendly. Overall the experience was great. We will definitely be back.

This place was fantastic. Close to great beaches and food. Amazing view. It has a washer and dryer which was a huge plus for our family stay. The condo complex has a mix of renters and permanent residents, but everyone was nice. It was quiet after 10 P.M. except for the waves, which can get loud, but never bothered our family at all. The parking was excellent. The pool was nice for when the ocean was too rough for the kids. The water access is there but it is different then beach front in the typical sense, but a block away, easy walking distance, there is a great beach for families, with a playground and very mild water (at certain times) that were perfect for little kids. We saw whales and turtles from the back patio and a great view of the island (Lanai) across the channel. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a more at home feel than you are going to get at a big name resort. I really have nothing but nice things to say about this place and will stay here again if the opportunity comes around again. Thank you for the memories!

The location was good and it was amazing to hear the waves all night and we did see whales oftenThe condo was bright and spaciousHowever, there were several upgrades that needed to be done, as in the stove burners did not really work properly(when it was on low, the burner was actually on high) new frying pan is needed, some dirt and filth along the doors, several stains were noted on the bedroom carpet and the whole place needed a bit of a refresh as in a paint job and new floor mats, the lampshade in the living room was all ripped with rust, the cushions on the plastic chairs on the deck had mould on them. This might sound petty, but for what you pay I would’ve expected a little higher standard. There were areas bubbled out on the walls, and the whole place seemed kind of dowdy.Also is difficult to snorkel out front as there is always waves coming in and there is zero clarityHaving said that there are some grocery stores nearby and some food trucks

Host Francesco was wonderful. We hope to be back soon!

This smaller sized complex is very quiet and relaxing yet within driving distance to everything the island has to offer. Home-style rooms stocked with beach towels, a cooler, and many extras. Just a few steps away from the pool and awesome ocean views. We appreciated the dedicated parking spot. A short walk to shopping for necessities. Sandy beaches nearby. Great communication with owners.

We really enjoyed our stay at Maui Sands! The condo literally overlooked the ocean right behind the wave break. We had a beautiful view during the day, and heard the crashing waves at night! We even saw dolphins and a sea turtle!
The place was very clean and comfortable and located conveniently near many favorable places. And the price was right! Thanks to our hosts!

We stay at the Maui Sands every year. This is our first year to stay in this particular unit. We really enjoyed the proximity of the parking to the unit. The units air conditioning units were excellent. The property manager was more than accommodating, they even added a crockpot upon our request. We stayed for over a month so our experience might be a little different from others, but I appreciated that the vaccum cleaner actually worked. The two bathrooms and showers were very unique for this condo conplex and so nice to have. There was everything we needed for regular cooking. The refrigerator kept things cold. They are enough plates and bowls that we didn’t have to wash between meals, they even have kids silverware and dishes! We will likely stay again for a month next year!

The property is clean. Amazing location.. no nee dto go somehwere for anorkling as its really in fromt of your unit. Beach area very clean and easy accessible. Very quiet and the facilities are also very clean and organized. The only suggestion I have is to give direction of the unit location and the office because there was no sign and we did not know where fhe unit was. We have to circle the parking and walk around. But other than that this is difinitelly a repeater and highly suggested. Thank you

I traveled with my husband and 85 year old Mother.
We couldn't have picked a better condo
Everything was so close to the unit
The ocean was a under a minute and the pool was 30 seconds away
The grounds very lovely and we especially loved having a patio where we could enjoy mornings and evenings
The condo was very well equiped with everything you could think of
The beds were so comfortable and the bathrooms were nice and updated.
The condo was very close to some of the best beaches in Maui with free parking.
We will definitely be back.
Thankyou for sharing your lovely condo

Very easy to find. Close to a variety of locations. Traveling to any part of the island was easy. We saw turtles off the balcony most days.
