The description didn’t say it was right on a road and that is the side the bedrooms were on. It was not too loud but could be heard. It did not bother our sleep

Condo is updated, with new bathroom remodels and new appliances. Includes adequate dishes, pots and pans for basic cooking. No water toys or beach chairs come with this unit, few left-over cooking ingredients, so bring your own or rent them. This unit’s bedrooms face the road, and owner has considerately provided white noise machines if needed. Property is pretty and well cared for, with a nice pool. Not particularly little kid friendly though — pool has no steps or shallow part for little ones; beach is a narrow strip of sand and rocks that is a HUGE step down from property and there is not room to set up beach chairs — water often right up to steps. BUT the water is crystal clear and there is good snorkeling between the two reefs right out front.

Big mahalo goes out to Hawaii for the lovely stay! What went right: very nice/kind property manager, beautiful ocean access, walking distance to park, bigger beach area (Honopiilani Beach), grocery store, moped rental, amazing cinnamon rolls, laundry room in complex, coffee shop. We had a great unit! We overheard other vacationers comment that they didn’t have good A/C and were too hot/miserable. Not so with us. We used the A/C sparingly customized by room and were VERY comfortable sleeping. Bathrooms, beds, kitchen, lanai - all perfect!
What could be improved: maybe small shampoo/ conditioner? It’s a average rating for lux—- no “extras” that make you feel spoiled. The snorkeling near the unit was not good- but we visited just after a storm and the waves were pretty energetic even after the murk settled. So that’s could have just been our luck of the draw.
We would recommend this lovely place for the family who is more interested in quality family time more than a “spoiled spa” experience.

Clean and well-equipt condo. Good value for the money. Easy parking and great location. The tides were really high and strong and not much room on the beach for laying out. Very noisy on the road at night. The noise-canceling machines helped, but could still hear cars/trucks racing by.

Maui Sands 1J was a great condo for our vacation needs. It was clean, the beds and pillows were comfortable, the A/C worked great, and it was located close to all our activities. Our first night after traveling all day, we walked to nearby food trucks to eat. Very convenient since we were pretty tired. Kory, the owner, was very responsive to our questions and came out within the hour to assist with my concern. Turned out it was my error. He also brought us extra toilet paper, so we never had to shop for any. The tide was up the whole week, but there were plenty of sandy beaches nearby. So no problem! You could still use the beach and sit on the grassy area by the entrance. I would recommend this condo to anyone and would stay here again if I came back to Maui!

This condo was perfect for our Maui stay and we will definitely return. The ocean access was phenomenal and loved the grill access.
One thing to note is that the condo faces the street, which can get loud very early in the morning. People walking past not only make a lot of noise (the sound seems to carry) but will also shake the room a bit. We were there to explore so getting up early wasn't really a problem, but it can be jarring.

We would definitely stay again. Place is as described. Conveniently located next to the ABC store. Easy check in and check out. We had a party of five and never felt to cramped. The only bummer is no real beach access but the park is close by so we could just walk over.

Condo interior was older than anticipated and could use some loving care (coat of paint would help.) We did enjoy our stay and overall a peaceful, pleasant 3 nights. Pool code was changed and on site manager should notify property managers. Area was fine but no place to take a walk. Ocean water high on retainer wall. (Literature does state tides csn be high but judging by the area beach walk seems very rare to non-existent.

This was our second trip staying in this condo, 6th stay at Maui Sands. We love the 2 bedroom/2 bath layout. We especially liked that the second bedroom was converted to another queen bed. Perfect for 2 couples. The split A/C unit is great at night.

The location here was great for exploring the west coast of Maui. The beach area directly at this property is mostly good for snorkeling. The condo itself was nice and as expected, the pool was warm every day, and the view and proximity to beach were great. The road noise was somewhat of an issue but the white noise machines did help. The other noisy part was the downstairs neighbor doing renovations the week we stayed, this also caused lots of dust on the lanai. Overall this was a great place to stay, would definitely recommend if you don’t want to pay the cost of a resort.

The property was well kept and comfortable. We really enjoyed the pool and the grounds. The shower head broke while we were there but the property manager was very responsive and fixed it quickly. The only downfall is that they were doing construction in the unit directly below us for three of the days we were there. That was hard as we would come back to rest after being at the beach and there was a lot of banging going on. I'm not entirely sure the neighborhood is safe as we were followed back to property by two rough looking individuals (one who was wearing a hoodie and the other got out and lit a cigarette while observing us). We did not exit the vehicle but left and they proceeded to leave right after we left. I'm not sure what their intentions were but our spidey senses were definitely going off. I would say that just like anywhere be aware of your surroundings. All in all it was beautiful and we enjoyed it immensely.

Great location. Nice complex. No real beach access when we were there but short walk took you to beach. Lock box is a little difficult to open if you have nails. Air conditioning is a little challenging to figure out. Great breeze/airflow through the home. Good selection of kitchen wares. Lovely patio with plenty of seating.

Nice place to spend our family vacation at. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The pool area was great and we used the BBQ grill to cook with no trouble. The best part was how close the beach was to walk down to. We snorkled and always saw fish. Highly recommend.

Pros: short walk to grocery store (Times), places to eat, and beaches. Wonderful lanai for relaxing, comfortable beds, good Wi-Fi.
Cons: Needs minor maintenance (cabinets in kitchen, master toilet runs, bathroom shower hard to turn off). Furniture needs updated to be comfortable, kitchen isn’t well stocked (bare utensils, no pizza cutter, bring your own tinfoil and plastic wrap, 1 kitchen towel).
Our 2 families of adults and 1 infant had plenty of space and enjoyed our visit. We would stay here again, but know to bring or rent beach chairs, all ocean gear, and stop at Costco for kitchen and food first.

Property is beachfront but the actual unit is not. When we went it was high tide so we had to walk far to get to the actual beach. Again, the carpet could use a little updating but otherwise everything was a-ok. Thanks, we had a wonderful time.

We had a girls trip to celebrate a birthday and this condo was perfect for the 5 of us. The condo looked exactly like the pictures shown; everything was clean and very comfortable. The centralized AC in every room and 2 bathrooms were extremely convenient. Plenty of closet and drawer space along with bath towels and beach towels. The TV had apps so you can watch youtube videos, Netflix , Disney + etc.. It did storm half the time we were there so the condo was very safe and comfortable as we stayed in to stay dry! The lanai had a great view of the courtyard and it was a few steps away from the beach. Laundry facility was across the courtyard but it took only quarters for a wash and dry ($3/total). Quarters were easily purchased at the ABC Store across the parking lot. Parking space was right in front of the stairs to the condo. The location was perfectly situated near the beach, steps away from the ABC store (for a quick breakfast of masubi) and the Fish Market (across the street) where you can get delicious fish chowder, oyster shooters and fresh fish of the day. Kory was an excellent and timely communicator providing detailed instructions for checking in and out and even provided an extra blanket when asked. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to stay in Lahaina/ Kaanapali area.

We had a great stay at Maui Sands and will definitely return in the future! We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath, 1J. The place was clean, had all the amenities we could have needed and the property manager was very responsive. I text him at 8:45PM because I couldn't get the TV working and asked if maybe the following day he could help me since it was already almost 9. Rather then waiting he came rite over with in a few minutes. Needles to say it was a blond moment for myself and I didn't turn on the cable box haha but we enjoyed our visit and he told us all kinds of great stuff to do on the island. Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely be returning in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at this little condo! The property was absolutely gorgeous! The pool was a wonderful addition to have! The balcony was wonderful to enjoy coffee on each morning and happy hour on each evening. It is a little noisy being right on the street, and some neighbors are inconsiderate with their noise level at night, but once asleep, had no issues with the noise. The property manager was wonderful to deal with and always helpful and kind! We appreciated her so much! Would definitely stay here again if we return to to Maui! Thank you so much!

We stayed at Maui Sands for 5 days with our family, including 3 children. The location was perfect, just north of Kaanapali Beach. We were a short drive to fabulous beaches, restaurants, stores, and more. We were able to walk to the public beach next door, which had a playground. There was also plenty of shade for those who were sunburned. The reefs provided excellent snorkeling opportunities and we were able to see sea turtles up close feeding on the reefs. The air conditioners worked very well and cooled the place down quickly, even though we turned them off while we were away to conserve energy. The property was quiet and peaceful. Others have mentioned the road being loud, but the owners have placed sound machines in the bedrooms and we did not have any issues. I highly recommend this rental for its location, layout, and amenities. Our kids used the pool everyday. We certainly hope to be back in the future!

Amazing location. Close to ABC stores. 2 minutes walk to the ocean. Amazing sunsets and great for morning walks alongside the ocean. It was connected to other condo/resort backyard beaches and was easy to meet friends there.
Nice swimming pool which was never crowded.There was a mini book library too. Hardly 2 or 3 people at any point of time. The condo was very spacious. Very good cross ventilation the entire time. Whole place was cool and airy the whole stay. Even in the nights, we had the patio door open which made it very comfortable.
The noise from the road was a bit more than what we expected but we got used to it. Very thoughtful of the host to provide white noise machines in the bedrooms.
We wished the washer/dryer was inside our rooms but it was still fine to operate the common area washer/dryer using the Mobile App(instead of looking for Quarters). We had to go buy washer tablets from the nearby ABC store for this though.
The Maui food bank in the opposite complex was useful to donate the leftover excess grocery that was unopened.

The condo was perfect for what we wanted. Close to everything, cool and clean, and well maintained. Our unit was close to the road, so there was some noise, but not bad. Check-in was super easy and the communication with our host was great. We would definitely stay here again!
