Our little piece of paradise has been remodeled, giving you the comfort of an updated kitchen and bathroom with a beautiful open look. We also have new furnishings, including a sleeper sofa that has a 6 inch memory foam mattress that is actually comfortable to sleep on!

Our condo is at a beautiful beachfront/oceanfront location (seasonal sand levels) within walking distance of shops, a farmers market, a natural market, the BEST coffee shop, and restaurants. In the Winter and early-Spring you can see the whales from the comfort of the lanai, and the monk seals and turtles are always a treat when they pay a visit throughout the year. Just 12 steps from the edge of the semi-private beach, you can float on the ocean water, see the delights of snorkeling, bodyboard, or simply catch some rays. When we first came across this condo, we were awestruck by the view.... and we know you will be, too!

This condo has one separate bedroom with a king bed along with a sofa bed in the living room that can sleep 2 extra people. There are ceiling fans, but with the blinds open on both ends, the wonderful Hawaiian breezes flow through to keep it very comfortable inside.

We are just a few short minutes to world-class golf at Kapalua and Kaanapali, and Lahaina Town is only 5 miles away. This is the perfect condo for families and honeymooners alike. We know you'll be in heaven at our condo in paradise!

Everything was as described or better! We used the beach chairs and umbrella every day. It is perfectly located and right on the water. We prefer to stay in a smaller complex rather than one of the bigger resorts and this was the best yet. 3 minutes to Nipili Market, 20 minutes to Honolua bay, 10 minutes or less to Nipili and Kapalua Beaches, the Gazebo, etc. Perfect!

Location great and better than our first visit to Maui (on our first visit there we stayed at a condo in Maalea Bay which was wonderful but the Lahaina location here with this condo we enjoyed much more!) Close to harbor, food, coffee, market, excursions, awesome beaches! Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed the location -- so fun to watch the whales from the lanai while eating my meals. While there's no traditional beach at the condo, the lounge chairs along the seawall were great for catching some sun. When I got too hot, I'd go down the stairs to get in the water (and snorkeled with a couple sea turtles right there). Trips to nearby beaches were easy, too, and I took advantage of the beach chairs, mats, and cooler that were in the condo. Condo itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. Had a few small issues (dishwasher and icemaker were both out of service during my trip; struggled a bit to line up the back slider to get it locked/unlocked), but the pros far outweighed the cons.

Good place to stay for few days. Quiet with awesome view especially at sunset. I put 3 stars for accuracy of online listing because I expected to have the beach in front of the property but this is not the case. There is an access to the ocean but no dry sand. Also be aware of the strong current and rocks. Pool is heated and good place to relax.

We were so pleased with this condo we plan on returning. We have all had the experience of looking on line and when we arrive it is not as advertised. Everything about this condo was as advertised. Fantastic location and views. Facility staff Tammie and Rick were great. Made us feel welcome and very helpful. We plan on returning soon!

On line listing shows beach with reasonable access. In actuality, stairs end with four foot drop off to rocks and no beach. This unit is located on primary entry corridor in front of elevators. Very noisy day and night.

This room was a very good fit for to old folks like us. We didn't use the pool or the beach. The kitchen and grills worked out well for us. The beach along this part of the island tends to be rocky in a lot of places and the surf high. There are several public beaches close that are more conducive to those activities.

Beautiful location, nice linens, comfy master bed - even pull-out matress was comfy. Watch the waves crash into the sea wall from the living room, but In winter, the water is too high for any beach. While location is lovely, the condo needs a thorough cleaning (sticky cabinets and knobs from years of kitchen grease, dirty walls that need washing and a fresh coat of paint, chipped floor tiles, etc.). The toilet broke and Matt was fantastic to work with. He had someone out immediately to fix it (which was good since there’s only 1 toilet). Loved our stay, but after a week, I seemed to see more areas that need attention/cleaning/repair which doesn’t feel great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Makani Sands. It was great to be able to walk right out of the ground level condo and be on the beach within 50 feet.

We stayed here for 6 days as a babymoon escape. The location was perfect - walking distance to coffee and more. Waking up right on beach was amazing, we did not even need to go to many other beaches. Matt was a great host and very communicative throughout the process. We will definitely be staying here next time in Maui!
