Great condo. Very well maintained and exactly as advertised. Loved the extras provided-luxurious beach towels, sand chairs, beach umbrella, boogie boards, cooler. Kitchen was well stocked and all furnishings were wonderful. No A/C , no problem, as the constant sea breeze kept rooms comfortable day and night.

Condo was great. 2 beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, and boogie boards were waiting on us along with 2 large beach towels. Bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the chocolate covered macadamia nuts left for us in the fridge. We would stay here again!

I have stayed at many of the condo resorts along this stretch in Honokowai and Makani Sands is my favorite. It is a small building and beautifully maintained inside and out. Tammy and Debbie, the managers, make you feel like you are part of the Makani Sands family. I loved having the door to our lanai open with the breeze blowing through, lights on, TV on, and a box of macademia chocolates waiting in the refrigerator when we checked in. Unit 209 is very well maintained. I found the sofa bed to be comfortable for the 9 days that I slept on it and my friend said the bed was wonderful. If you love watching whales, go during whale season--January to March--and you will see them from this lanai. I immediately booked this unit again for next year. This unit books up fast, so don't hesitate long. While this is absolutely a 5 star review, I do wish that the lanai had some kind of chairs other than the tall ones for the table because we found those chairs to be fine for eating but uncomfortable for sitting any length of time.

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our stay. My daughter slept on the pull-out sofa. She thought it was comfortable and the mattress seemed new to me. Our bed was comfortable as well. If you’d like to be close to the water this is the place. The noise from the waves covered my husband’s snoring and made for a good nights sleep for my daughter. I did miss not having AC, the evening was fine, but getting ready to go out was not ideal. Good location on the island. We were able to get an additional chair and beach towel from Tammy which was appreciated.

We stayed in Unit 209. The unit was very clean. The view is amazing. There is a small beach where you can swim and snorkel. It is within walking distance (about 15 minutes) to shops,restaurants and a grocery store. There is no air conditioning so you want to keep your windows open. However the bedroom is situated where people walk so you may want to bring earplugs. I slept on the sofa bed. Let the rental property know if you are going to use the sofa bed and request clean and washed sheets. I asked about extra bedding before I arrived and there was a package of new sheets (still in the package) They smelled really bad so I needed to wash the sheets before I slept on them (late at night) Also the sofa bed could use an extra foam topper to make it super comfortable. Wifi was spotty in the bedroom but fine out in the living room. Communication with Tammy was easy. I definitely would stay again.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time! Great location on the west side, beach front property was perfect. We got to watch every sunset from the balcony and the sea turtles everyday were a step away, it was fantastic! With Tammy and Debbie’s communication being so fast and hospitable, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a nice stay. The condo was clean but a bit outdated. Could use some freshening up such as clean/replace carpet in bedroom, clean area rug in living area and a new coat of paint. Also need to move painting The grounds were well kept and the location very close to everything. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

It was fantastic. Makani Sands is truly a unique place. The Ocean is so close, and we can can see sea turtles, dolphin, and great sunsets from our lanai. Our place was pretty well stocked, and we cooked a lot of food. My only complaint (my pet peeve) is the kitchen knives were dull.

This Maui visit was the first time we didn't stay in one of the major resort hotels. We're glad we decided it was time for a change. We enjoyed dining on the balcony and watching whales play not far off shore. Also fun was trying to spy sea turtles just over the property's sea wall. The grill was perfect for grilling fresh fish we bought at the fish market just a couple blocks away. Plenty of nearby restaurants made dining out easy and accessible, since we made reservations on Open Table before leaving home. Our morning walks along the beach provided a nice start to the day, especially after we discovered plenty of free beach parking; also great when we returned for beach time later in the day.

Amazing view. The only negative was we felt very exposed in the bedroom. If you keep the glass vents open for air flow, people can see in and when they walk by talking, you feel like they are in the room with you. I guess the ocean front view made up for that.

This condo was amazing! The moment you walk in and see your ocean view you'll never want to leave! Everything here was great from the office staff to the accommodations. It was also super nice to have beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and boogie boards in the condo. I can't wait to book a trip back!

The unit was great. It had a fabulous view right out our slider. The front desk was very nice.
The grounds were kept up beautifully. The only disappointing thing was the unit across from us stored a dozen pairs of shoes outside of their door which is very close to ours along with cardboard and sometimes a bag of trash and nothing was ever done about it.

From the minute we entered the condo we were overtaken with the incredible view and sound of the ocean from the lanai. The room was exceptionally clean and quite comfortable. The management staff made themselves available whenever we had a question. We have found the perfect vacation rental on Maui. We look forward to returning in the future.

This property was great! First and foremost, it was very clean. We had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect - right on the beach, walking distance to some shops, and a short drive to a ton of other shops and restaurants. The condo was very comfortable. We loved our stay here and would absolutely recommend staying at this condo.

Great location. Easily assessable to restaurants and shops. 5 miles from Lahina quaint town and 5 miles from rich and famous in Kapalua.
Owner has everything you need including beach chairs which was fantastic to venture to different beaches. We were able to swim with the sea turtles on property which was a incredible experience to see up close and personal.
Only draw back was no air conditioner, late sun heated up condo. I would still totally recommend this property, most night there was an amazing cross breeze.

Nice, clean and updated unit. Good location. Enjoyed our stay only wish the unit had air conditioning. One drawback to this unit was being close to the stairway and you could hear people outside the unit on occasion. That being said, we throughly enjoyed our stay.

Loved everything about this property. It was central to all the activities and sites we wanted to see. Only drawback was the patio furniture could be more comfortable, we spent many hours between waking up to eat breakfast and then cocktails watching the sunset sitting on the chairs. Would say we would return to this condo again.

We absolutely loved our stay in Maui. The staff were very nice and helpful with suggestions. The property was a beautiful location for sunsets and nature. We were thankful for the binoculars so we could enjoy watching the whales and dolphins. The turtles we so amazing to swim with. The owners have left it conveniently stocked with beach chairs and boogie boards. Loved this place. We will be back. P.s. If you want to do Haleakalā at sunrise you must book in advance but still worth the drive.
