The property is a little dated when compared to other vacation locations. But, it was very comparable to other properties on Maui. The listing was very accurate and we loved the location. We enjoyed hanging out on the property and being able to take local walks. We thought the beds were awesome compared to other hotels/condos we have stayed at. We will book this location again.

We had stayed at Makani sands another time in a different unit. It was lovely. We were expecting the same this time and were very disappointed. The unit definitely needs updating.It wasn’t very clean-would not choose this unit again or recommend it to friends.

Its a nice, not crowded place to stay. Snorkled with sea turtles every day. Use a tide chart to know when to go. Pool was nice to have access to. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well equipped. Washer and dryer worked well.

Well equipped kitchen. Ample living supplies (TP, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc.) - enough for 2 weeks. Good visibility for whale watching. Includes everything you need for your trip to the beach. Master bath is on the small side.

Had a great stay here. Great views and good location. I usually stay down this way when I come here. Could use some better beach chairs but we used all the towels instead. Enjoyed seeing whales and turtles this time too.

Wow wow wow!!!! The view is just stunning. We saw whales and turtles up close right from the balancing. My family and I spent most of time and meals sitting on the balcony. The 2 futons in family room were very comfortable for my 2 kids that don’t like sleeping together. It was very spacious for my family of 4 and my parents. They also have a small beach where you can swim off of and snorkel. The host Luan is amazing! He was always available and responds right away with any questions we had. He fully stocks the condo with Things you may need like toilet paper, garbage bags etc. He is so kind and readily available for you! The location was also fantastic. We could walk to multiple restaurants. I walked everyday to a local market and had my delicious Açaí bowl. Yumm!
I highly recommend renting this unit. We can’t wait to return!

Lewis the property manager was great. The view exceptional. Cons: no direct access to any walkable beach. The condo needs some updating. It was a 3 star as the cleanliness was just ok. I wouldn’t stay there again, as we are more accustom to a higher level of a condo

Overall a great stay. 2nd floor/corner unit of a 4 floor building. Amazing view and sound of waves crashing from the balcony. Loved having the doors open while we were in the apartment as well. Plenty of room for 3 of us. Place is slightly dated but very clean.
Not much to do within walking distance. Certainly not a party area if that is what you’re after, though I’m not sure anywhere in Maui is.

This condo was perfect for our family of 4, loved the views and location. Liam was very accommodating, letting us have late check out when our flight was canceled.

The condo is in a terrific location, right on the water with the sound of the waves rolling in, near lots of good restaurants, excellent supermarkets, nice beaches, and other attractions. The condo itself is lovely, recently updated throughout, and comfortably furnished. The beds were quite comfortable. There is also air conditioning in each of the rooms, if needed, though there is good air flow through the condo.
There is a swimming pool, as well as access to the water just off the patio area. There is no sand beach as such, but good wading and swimming upon entering the water down steps from the patio area, at the foot of the seawall.
Our host, Luan, deserves special mention. He was very welcoming, anxious to please, and always available to answer questions, by text, phone, and in person (which proved useful in helping us master the slightly complicated cable TV system -- there are large screen TVs in each room).
The only issue we had was construction noise (updating the lovely patio area), but that was due to be completed the week we left.
In sum, it was a great stay, and we would not hesitate to return in the future.

We had a wonderful visit in Maui and the condo in Makani Sands was exactly as described. Wonderful sunset views and just steps to the ocean. The area is very convenient with shops and restaurants close by, but the location of the property feels secluded (you have the beach almost to yourself). Overall, an excellent stay!
