Maui Sands Seaside is an oceanfront property gem offering old-world Hawaiian charm. It's a calm, serene place with beautiful, lush grounds located directly on the ocean. The unit, itself, is beautifully remodeled using the best materials.

This property is a small, peaceful, low density ocean-front condominium. Located on the most desirable west side of the island in Honokowai at the northern end of Kaanapali. Think serenity and quiet relaxation. The sundeck on the front of the Maui Sands Seaside property offers a perfect perch to watch the breathtaking sunsets while also appreciating the beautiful islands of Molokai and Lanai across the channel. Turtles are often spotted swimming and lunching on the volcanic reef that runs parallel to the shore, and during whaling season, there are so many of these majestic animals that one visitor referred to it as "whale soup!" Monk seals, spotted eagle rays and spinner dolphins are also spotted from the property. It's a great area for snorkeling off the property as the sets of three reefs protect the swimmer from larger ocean surge during low to mid tide.

Unit 719 is a private, second-floor unit that has been totally remodeled, offering hardwood floors, solid cherry cabinets, granite and glass mosaic tiles in the kitchen and granite and travertine in the bathroom. The unit offers beautiful furnishings, two flat-screen TVs, high speed wi-fi, and original artwork. The living room sofa opens up to a queen-size comfortable bed offering convenience to families. A PakNPlay is included and a high chair is available upon request. The kitchen is completely stocked with enough gear to cook almost any meal, and the unit has both ceiling fans and an AC wall unit in the living area.

Many conveniences are located within walking distance of the condo. To the south and across the street is a large grocery store, fish market,bakery and hispanic market, convenience store, several eateries for both eat in and a food truck park. To the north is Napili and many more beaches, restaurants and shopping areas.

A parking spot is assigned to the unit.

Please enjoy full use of #719 and the grounds of Maui Sands Seaside while you are here.
There is the sundeck as well as lounge chairs across the oceanfront lawn of the property for sunbathing. There is also a BBQ located at the bottom of the ocean side stairs for guest and residents use.
Please note this property does not have any shared pool access, but the proximity to the ocean makes it absolutely ideal!

I am the owners property manager, and I live on Maui. You may call, email or text me with any needs you have. My husband and I have lived on Maui for 32 years and we are happy to make recommendations to help make your stay more enjoyable!

Maui does have a public bus system, and works great for getting around West Maui. The bus stop is located just south on the road in front of the ABC store. If you want to wander further afield you will want to consider renting a car. I am happy to make recommendations for you.

*This unit does have AC that is more than adequate to cool the space, and is located in the living room. There are both ceiling fans and floor fans in the living room and bedroom. Please note that as Maui has some of the most expensive electric in the US, we keep it on a timer to mitigate costs.
*Smoking in or outside of the unit and pets are not allowed.
*We have a 5pm check in and 11am check out unless prior arrangements have been made. We ask you to plan ahead as we may not be able to allow early check ins and late check outs as often as we would like.
*We take your safety and well-being seriously. We have a comprehensive cleaning and sanitizing program for this property. Our cleaning service and on-site staff are spending as much time as necessary to make sure that all areas of your rental are thoroughly cleaned before you check in.

For check ins on Christmas and Thanksgiving day our cleaning service charges an additional holiday cleaning fee of $75. Registration Number: 440010710019, TA-092-812-2880-01, GE-092-812-2880-01

We had a lovely week at this property. Heather was very professional and prompt with her communication, and we were very happy with the accommodation. Great location near Ka’anapoli, with lots of restaurants, a coffee shop, park and beaches all within walking distance. We had plans to go father like the road to Hana but we stayed in the area most of the time because it was comfortable and everything we needed was there. The guest book with recommendations was super helpful, and we consulted it regularly. The apartment was spacious and we could hear the waves at night. Overall great experience! Thank you.

This property on the ocean is an older building, so the rooms are relatively spacious with a nice balcony and mature jungle garden setting; and this unit is nicely renovated. We enjoyed listening to the waves at night and the birds in the morning. The neighborhood consists mostly of very large resorts, with the beach and many decent eating options within walking distance.

My family and I spent a wonderful stay with the ocean less than 50 yards away. The nights were filled with ocean sounds that sent us into a wonderful sleep. The neighborhood is located near many areas to shop, snorkel, or just walk around enjoying the beautiful scenery. We would definately stay here again.

Beautiful, clean, well-maintained condo; great location! Very attentive and responsive host. We absolutely enjoyed our stay here and we hope to return soon!

We had an absolute blast! The condo was perfect for us and the nearby beaches were spectacular! We spent all of our time exploring the sands and waters and joined a luau at the hyatt right down the street. Sea turtles are everywhere and the reef right off the property kept us busy for three glorious days! We highly recommend this space. My 9 year old daughter says "this is the best beach ever" and we are from San Diego, so that says a lot!

The location of the property is nice and we liked having designated parking so we didn't have to worry about finding a spot. It's a great place to watch sunsets and it was a short beautiful drive to lots of beaches and places to eat. The condo had everything we needed. My only issue, and please take it with a grain of salt, is they have an AC unit in the main living space but no AC in the bedroom. If you leave the windows and bedroom door open it's cool in the morning but my wife and I had trouble sleeping because with the windows open you hear every conversation of people coming home late and when we got home in the evenings to go to bed it was 78 in the bedroom which is warmer than we're used to. My mom and dad would say that 78 is freezing so again take it with a grain of salt. Overall it was a great value and we would stay there again.

The place is nice enough, doesn't have a community pool to use fyi. I understand the electric bill is very high in Maui but the timer on the AC was ridiculous. It only has max a 4 hour timer on it so waking up every morning at 2 to 3am hot just to have to turn it back on was horrible. No other condos I have stayed at in the 10 years I have been coming here has timers on their AC but a thermostat to control the space temp. If you don't mind having to wake up to turn cooling back on then this place is good enough to stay at. Everything esle was fine. The person in charge of the place was very responsive to answer any questions. Thank you for letting us stay at this place but I won't be renting this place again strictly for the AC timer reason. Thank you.

My husband and I stayed here in March of 2022 and overall were really happy with the condo. It's in an older building with fewer units, and we really liked the friendly, quiet, homey ambiance. The unit is reasonably comfortable, and the lanai overlooks a lovely garden space. We also loved being close enough to the ocean to hear it at night even if we couldn't see it! The kitchen was also well-stocked for preparing meals. The condo is close to some really terrific and convenient places to eat, and that was a definite plus. Bear in mind that with convenience comes some traffic noise. I do think the online description of the unit and property needs updating. Yes, there is a shoreline and beach behind the property, however from what we could see there was no way to access it from the seawall. You can enjoy the view but you can't sit on the beach or swim. I think it's also worth mentioning that there is no washer-dryer in the unit or in the condominium complex itself. If you need to do laundry, you'll have to drive to the laundromat in Lahaina. We love staying in West Maui and in this particular neighborhood. Mahalo for the welcome!

I loved the location. It is a seconds walk from the ocean with an observation deck. We saw dolphins, crabs and turtles. There is snorkeling right outside the building. There was only one issue and I know it is hard to handle. There were quite a few ants in the place when we arrived. I know that is an island wide issue and I don't cast blame on anyone, but, when I woke up the first morning and had ants crawling on my cell phone on the night stand next to the bed, it was a little surprising. It did not ruin our time at all; I just mention it so that if there are people who would freak out over this, just understand that Maui has an ant problem. Otherwise, 10 stars across the board (I know it is a 5 star rating system, but, we did love the property)

We stayed here for our last few nights of our Hawaii trip. We were in Hawaii for 8 nights so we experienced a lot already and really appreciated the homey feeling of this vrbo. There are better beaches in Kaanapali but right outside this vrbo you can catch amazing sunsets. The location is great, next to some good non hotel restaurants and grocery stores which we enjoyed.

I stayed alone and it was so very nice. The place is clean, great walking distance to food trucks & Farmers Market. I would definitely stay here again. It felt like more of a local spot than touristy which is my ideal.

As the title says, 'good but not great'...we were happy with the location and the suite overall but disappointed in the bed and the construction that was going on at the property. The pictures are representative of the suite. We didn't sleep all that well and relaxing and restful days at the condo were not to be found. Also - there was little in the way of recycling beyond bottles for deposit (although we found that throughout the island).

This property is so lovely. It is a very comfy and inviting property. We could hear the ocean from our room. So lovely :) We loved our stay so much that we are sending our parents on a surprise trip, and we rented this same location for them to enjoy as well :)

We stayed at the condo for two weeks in February 2015. It was very nice. Good location. Walking distance to some restaurants, stores and beaches. Java Jazz is a quaint place with good music and food (about a 5 minute walk). Good pizza in the same strip mall. The condo is comfortable and well equipped. The bed is cozy as is the couch and chairs. The lanai is peaceful. You can hear the ocean and see a peak of it around the corner. Good beach towels and chairs are provided. Good parking and easy access. No beach in front of the complex, but great snorkeling and swimming (bring water shoes). Great Internet service. All around a terrific place to stay (and quite affordable). Heather the local manager was very helpful and responsive. We would walk to the beach at the Honua Kai (10 minutes) or drive and park if we were carrying stuff (great free parking). Generally, we travelled around the island sightseeing or hanging out at beaches. Honokowai is a great jumping-off place. Don't miss the road to Hana, the crater and the Napali Bay Beach. Whale watch with the Ultimate Whale Watch Company. Eat at Gerard's and Mama's Fish House, but $$$$! Enjoy Maui.

Good price in an area that is pretty expensive. The inside of the condo is very nice and upgraded with the latest style and appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked (maybe a little too much). You will find anything you are looking for. Shower and bathroom were nicely renovated and plenty of room for your own toiletries. Bed was comfortable and closet was spacious. I was a little put off when we first arrived at the outside of the building. It is old. There was some maintenance going on and building on the outside needed some TLC. But the inside of the condo was absolutely lovely. We had an issue initially with some items and the resident manager was right on top of it. She made sure we were happy with our stay and I can't thank her enough. There are lots of plants on the property so its very tropical (which we love) but unfortunately you can't see the ocean from this unit even though the building is right on it. The location is close to lots of shops, activities, parks, hiking, etc. There is not a washer/dryer in the unit nor for the building (when we were there) so you'll have to go to a laundry mat if you need any washing done. Overall, the place was quiet and serene.
