I couldn't be happier with my stay at this beautiful condo at Maui Sands. The unit was perfectly described in its VRBO listing and had any and all amenities one would need while vacationing in Maui for a week. I personally oved the teak wood finishes and big open windows letting in that ocean breeze which surround you in main living quarters of the unit. This is my second stay at Maui Sands and I truthfully can't imagine staying at any other unit upon my next return. You are literally 30 steps away from the ocean where you can actually see the Pacific from your lanai surrounded by lush tropical foliage which is as beautiful as it is private. Check in was super easy, as was communicating with Heather, who promptly responded to the few texts I sent her way upon my arrival. I also loved the surrounding neighborhood where you have nearly everything you need within a short walking distance - a supermarket, restaurants, an ABC store (for your toiletries and snacks whenever needed), coffee shop, bike rentals, and even a food truck court - all just a stone's throw away from Maui Sands. Above and beyond all that, you can also walk the beach at low tide to so many great restaurants and beach front destinations (including Dukes which has a happy hour definitely worth checking out). Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend this unit to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free, and beautiful time in West Maui. Can't wait for my next return! :)

Don't let the dated outside fool you. The inside is clean and well-appointed. My idea of oceanfront means at least a view of the water from the place. This filter was a bit misleading and is my only disappointment. The community is certainly oceanfront, but the only place to see the water from the unit is from one seat at the far side of the balcony if you peek between trees. Check out the live music at Java Jazz in the evenings in walking distance.

This condo was perfect for our family of 3. Clean and comfortable with a nice deck and partial ocean view. The property and grounds are beautifully kept. Nice base for everything we wanted to do. Shopping and foodtrucks are nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

Wow! This was supposed to be a trip for myself and my husband, but I ended up being there alone through a series of events. I felt very safe there as a woman traveling alone. The property is beautiful. I was able to s t a r g a z e every night and I watched high tide every morning from the grassy Terrace. My husband and I will be coming back together and we will definitely be staying here again.!

We had a great stay at Maui Sands! A quick review for those who really care about reviews before booking:
Pros:
- great location
- easy beach access around the neighborhood
- cute home, AC is great, good WiFi and household needs
- easy check in and great communication.
- lots of amenities at the property (though we didn’t spend much time there!)
- beach supplies, cooler, boogie board and beach cHairs!
Cons:
- needs a bit of an update (this didn’t bother us!) a few holes in the walls, covered with duck tape or boards.
- not as clean as we would’ve liked (in the hidden places, not in the “living spaces). Reached under the bed/behind the dresser to plug in chargers and it was covered in dust.
- lots of rust (comes with humid weather) but needs some cleaning around all door hinges, door knobs, etc.- sliding door was a bit noisy!
Overall, would stay here again. We aren’t picky and thoroughly loved our stay!

The whole experience has been great! We were in a good location as well. We would stay again. The ocean access was great, but the beach area was very limited. However-it’s walking distance to a beach. Beautiful views.

The condo is cute and right next to the ocean. There are shops, a playground and a small beach nearby.
The owner and property manager were very helpful and accommodating. This is a great alternative to renting a hotel room for a couple or a small family.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is great. It is walking distance to many shops, which we liked. Close enough to Lahaina to enjoy restaurants, beaches etc. Unit has a nice layout and was well equipped.

The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We arrived in Maui shortly after 12 pm and had to wait until 5 pm to check in. I sent Heather an email asking her if we could check in before 5 pm, but received no response. We also were bothered by the smell of marijuana from seemingly many users of the building complex.

It had an island feel, quiet community, backed up to the beach, very nice. I would start there again. And it’s located near great beaches and right down the street from the food trucks, which are the best way to eat on the island

This is an older condo development, but our unit was well maintained and very clean. The condo was well stocked with plates, glasses, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and cleaning supplies. It had everything that we needed. The air conditioning was a wall unit in the main area, but we did not use it much since it was comfortable with the breeze blowing with the windows/blinds open. The condo has wood floors that we liked since it stays clean as opposed to carpet which can get dirty and worn. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck. Although the unit does does have an ocean front, it is close to the ocean and has an ocean view between buildings that allowed us to see the Maui sunset over the ocean. The unit also had a storage box on the deck with beach chairs, body board, swim fins and snorkel as well as a small cooler that we used on our road trips around Maui - that was appreciated. The unit is on the second level so you do have steps to climb to access the unit and there is no elevator. The steps were not a problem for us, but you might want to be aware of it if you were physically impaired. There is no sand beach in front of the development, but you do have access to the ocean. There are public beaches not far from the condo that we used for beach access. The beach chairs and cooler were nice to have when going to the beach. The condo is located a few miles North of the Kaanapali Beach resorts. Across the street from the condo, is a strip mall that has a couple of good take-out restaurants that were very good for fresh fish, and a grocery store a few blocks down the street. It has a full size bed in the bedroom that was adequate (good mattress) but we are used to a king-size bed. It was fine for our stay. We had excellent communications with Jay the owner and Heather the property manager who were both very helpful and accommodating. Overall, it was a comfortable, pleasant stay.
