We came in winter to see the whales and this place did not disappoint. Sitting on the lanai watching the whales swimming by was the most amazing part of our trip. You can also snorkel right outside the property which was nice. We will definitely be coming back again! Thank you.

My Ohana (family) flew to Maui from neighbor islands and the continent to attend a very special event. This temporary home away from home provided the perfect place for us. The decor is beyond what we could have imagined. The location is steps to the ocean. The simplicty of access to the condo and the check out process was so appreciated. The notebook of expectations was informative. I'm already making plans to return because my Ohana enjoyed themselves so much! Mahalo nui loa!

Makani Sands checked all the boxes. We wanted to be in a quiet location, on the beach and close to various stores and shops. The unit 302 was perfect for our group of 7. Nice to have AC. Check in and out was perfect with Tammy. Tammy was super responsive and on property if we needed anything. No complaints.

Our family loved the property! Their was 6 of us and we fit very comfortably in the condo. The views were something out of a magazine from our lanai. Tammy was easy to get ahold of with any questions. The only thing to really say was the condo was not stocked with toilet paper or paper towels, and their was only 4 bathroom towels so we had to keep washing, and the a/c was not working very well....but those things are minimal compared to the great location, the relaxing vibe, and the size of the condo was great. We would definitely recommend for anyone with families to enjoy. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Many good things - some, not so much....Location a little inconvenient as far as access to eating and shops - right on the beach which was WONDERFUL!! Kitchen fully stocked with dishes spices etc but tiny ants around the sink area (they didn't bug me that much but might bother some) - one bedroom on the main floor which is awesome but only a powder bath next to it and other full bathrooms are upstairs - which was fine but there was no room or shelves etc to put stuff in the powder bath for those using it to get ready in. Patio was way overcrowded with furniture and hard to move around...Overall it was a nice stay....

Very nice location, quieter than other busy areas, but easy walk or short drive to restaurants. Very nice beach and patios overlooking ocean and sunsets.

The perks of staying at this property are you have a private beach. Due to recent storms there s no longer a beach and you are not able to get to the water.

My wife and I took our son, his wife and their daughter to Maui for a week, so needed a larger condo. We have stayed in 302 before, and knew it would be perfect. The granddaughter had her own room & bathroom, and the son & wife also had a full bath & bedroom to themselves. My wife and I took the master suite & bathroom.Kitchen is large & very well stocked, and the 3 lanai make it easy to eat together or enjoy coffee or reading alone.Location is RIGHT above the surf... A key for us when choosing.Pool is comfy and lightly used, so fun for the family too.The decor is very 'Hawaiian' and just lovely. Lots of paintings, sculptures, tiles, and other decor pieces.

Makani Sands is a great location, close to so many amenities, walking distance to some, short drive to others. But at this particular time repairs are being made to to the sea wall at the condo next door and listening to a jack hammer and backhoe are not my idea of an ideal vacation. As in many locations on Maui this year the sand on the beaches is seriously missing. At Makani Sands it is a treacherous climb up and down over slick rocks. Condo 302 is way overloaded with furniture and collectibles so that there are no horizontal surfaces available for anything you bring with you. So much furniture on the lanai that you cannot get around it to be seated. Very treacherous spa tub that someone thought could be converted into a shower that doesn't work at all with a safety handle that falls off the wall during the night in the master suite. We would not rent this unit again.

The views and location are amazing. The condo is a good size but it felt very cluttered. We did not like the shower in the main bedroom. It can be difficult to get in and out safely. A/C was nice. The condo has way too much stuff, including the dishes and decorations. The heated pool and grounds were very nice.

This place was great! Clean, staff is friendly and quick to respond. Description was just as it said. Only downfall was there wasn't really beach access, especially not for a kid. Otherwise 5 stars!

We loved our stay in Maui here at Makani Sands. I loved the Hawaiian decor and art on the walls. May be a bit much if you have little ones cause they can reach easily. The view of the ocean and the sound of the waves from my lanai was wonderful. So many sea turtles crossed our beach. Others may complain about the AC not cool enough, but the cross breeze you get with all the windows open during the winter kept it cool enough for us. The front desk was accommodating and friendly too.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for peace quiet and great management. Sunsets are gorgeous and the tiki torches at night are so beautiful. We saw turtles swimming by every day and the condo is roomy enough for the whole family to spread out and relax. BBQ by the ocean every night on the gas grills. This condo is 5 stars and the rental manager was very professional and friendly. We enjoyed the heated pool in the evening for a swim before bed.

Our stay at Makani was great. The management was very responsive to questions and the property was a great value. We went as a group of friends and think the rental is slightly more geared towards families as the full bathrooms are both in bedrooms and not in a common area.

We were very happy with everything here. Tammie and the other office lady were excellent. Our friends stayed in room 210 and were a bit unhappy. They had to mess with the screen door to get it to close. Also the master bed was not very good at all. Our room 302 was great. One thing I would of liked was to have a dresser in the bedrooms or at least a suit case stand.. overall our stay was awesome. We will be back in the near future.
