A wonderful location. Quiet ocean front lanai and a few steps to lawn chairs to enjoy the view. Also one of the best stocked condos in terms of beach chairs, towels a cooler and so on.
We have been to Maui at least 25 times and have stayed at this resort a number of times. We think it is the best area of Maui to stay.

My wife, I and our 2 year old stayed here for just over a week in early March and would gladly return. The location was great for us with it being close to many beaches we like and great food options without the traffic or business of the bigger towns or resorts, not to mention sitting on the lanai watching the surf and whales. Tammy the manager was wonderful leading up to our trip, answering our questions and making the process very easy for us.
We fit a pack n play in the bedroom with half it in the closet but had plenty of room to get around it to the bed. The unit was well stocked with everything we needed for some beach or pool time and the kitchen similarly included all manner of cookware. The pool was nicely sized, clean, and was in the morning sun/afternoon shade. Between fans and having windows open, the unit never got too warm or stuffy (temps around 80 F). We'll definitely be back!

This was my second time booking a condo in Makani sands. I really love this place,because it's near everything. I just love the ocean view and the sound of the waves at night 😍❣️

This was our first trip to Maui. We booked Makani Sands (1st floor) to be right on the water. We were not disappointed. We can't imagine going back to Maui and staying anywhere else. We saw sea turtles and were able to snorkel right in front of the condo. It was a short drive to restaurants and our excursions.

We had an amazing 10 day stay here. The photos don't do the place justice! It's really clean and cozy and had everything we needed from pots and pans for cooking to beach chairs, boogie boards and coolers for drinks. Though it was very hot outside around mid day the winds and the way the unit is built to allow it to flow right through made not having an AC not a problem. The location is amazing too. There is a small beach and decent snorkeling right outside the unit. Bigger beaches and snorkeling spots (Black Rock I'm the South and Kapalua and Napiili in the North) are just 10 mins drive too. Tammy and the staff were really helpful as well. We became aware of and attended the King Kamehameha day parade thanks to them! Thanks Makani Sands for an amazing trip!

We loved Makani Sands (unit 104). To step out to the ocean was amazing. Sunsets were our favorite. We went driving all over the island and decided Lahaina was our favorite. We definitely plan on coming back. We had everything we needed in the condo and the bed was awesome. It may seem like something so minute, but we have stayed at nice places and the beds were terrible. Not here, we were very comfortable. Thank you Makani Sands

We had such a lovely time at this unit my daughter was so excited we went to the grocery store and she baked us a chocolate cake to eat for the week! We probably won't rent a car next time I'm since the local beaches are so beautiful.Using a car service down to Lahaina was only about 10 to $15. Morning coffee with that view will never get old.

Makani sands is definitely the place to stay while in Maui. Just a few steps from its “private” beach, makes it super convenient to not have to leave. Definitely will be back!

We visited Makani Sands in March 2019 and loved this place. It was warm, inviting, fully equipped, and just about as peaceful and serene as it gets. We enjoyed our stay so much here, we hardly left... mostly did a lot of cooking at home and soaking up the view and incredible ocean sounds. During the day and into the evening we witnessed humpbacks joyfully playing in the distance and sea turtles swimming by on what feels like your own little private beach. Can't say enough about the accommodation, location, and amazing hospitality. If you are looking to decompress in paradise, this place is perfect. If we could give it more than 5 stars, we would. No doubt we will return someday. Mahalo, Makani Sands... A Hui Hou Kākou.
