Makani Sands has been my go to place for several years now. I enjoy the small, intimate setting that’s direct access to the ocean. Tammy at the front desk was amazing as always!

We loved this condo. It was perfect. Close to all of the exciting sites, and yet private and friendly. Beech front views and scenic sunsets as our view made the location ideal. At night there is an amazing breeze that flows directly through the condo keeping it cool and fresh. Thank you so much for allowing us to utilize your home away from home in paradise. We will definitely be coming back.

Spent a few days on this part of Maui and the property and location were fantastic. The ocean view was great and made for great scenes to wake up with. No A/C but the windows and fans kept the unit a perfect temp. Will stay again if we have the chance.

Best location, very clean and well equipped. Had a memorable time. Everything was above my expectation. Very well kept property, clean, the location was absolutely wonderful, left the doorOpen to Lanai and was lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves lapping the beach. 10 Stars!!!

The space was quaint but very nicely kept. It was quiet and resting and relaxing with the greatest view of Maui's west ocean. It provided what we needed to enjoy a great family vacation and have access to beaches and shops.

It had been 35 years since we’d been to Maui so we weren’t sure where to stay and we had a budget. A friend stays nearby, that’s how we came upon this location. As with most places along this stretch it is an older condo but it is kept up nice. Great location, we never rented a car, but would next time to do more, but we were able to get our food local. Only drawback was a very firm bed, when this was mentioned we were told it was brand new so it may soften up with use.

First a big shout out to Tammy for being super responsive and so welcoming.
The suite is great - clean and had everything we needed in terms of kitchen tools etc. Bathroom is large with lots of storage and a very spacious and updated shower. Love the big bbqs and tiki torches along the ocean. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our stay in Makani Sands 206. Tammy is a delight and very responsive. It was a nice touch to see our names on a welcome sign the day we arrived! It rained most of the time we were in Maui but we were able to enjoy the waves and rain from inside our cozy condo. We are glad we had a rental car so we could venture out to less rainy areas or to indoor activities. We would definitely stay at Makani Sands #206 again.

We totally loved this beautiful ocean view, super clean condo. Watching the rainbow arching on the ocean or spot the a cute, little turtle passing by from the balcony are some of our fav memories at this place. It has a homely furniture setup with fully equip kitchen including many, many spices for your home-cook meals. The staff are very nice and friendly. Mahalo for such a wonderful stay.❤😊

When we booked the stay at Makani Sands we weren’t able to stay in the same room for our entire trip. We were moved to this room for the for last days of our stay. Tammy and Debbie made the room change very easy. This room also had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Only issue was low water volume in the shower which we discussed with Tammy. The view and amenities compensated for the ongoing construction. We would stay again and recommend it to our friends and family.

I wouldn't stay here again. Yes, the room had a view of the ocean but half of the front terrace was under construction and there were huge holes. There was also limited parking and the trees you had to park under left bird poop all over your car. There really isn't a beach in front of the condo and the pool is in the rear. The condo was dated but left in ok condition. The kitchen cabinets could be changed because they were sticky, and the doors were hard to open. Several of the outlets also didn't work so you had to move the coffee maker next to the phone outlet. There were other condos similar in price adjacent to Makani Sands. I wish I would have booked one of those. I was also told I would get 25% off my stay due to the construction and my credit card was charged the original amount.

My husband and I were on Kauai for a week and decided to extend our trip and check out Maui. For a last minute booking we were very impressed. Beautiful view. Great sunset right from your room. Very nice location for the price, just a short drive to ka’anapali beach and whale’s shopping center. Friendly staff. I was a little disappointed that the stairs down to the water were blocked off with caution tape so we could not snorkel or swim. If we come to Maui again we will probably stay in a larger resort where we can just walk to the beach, but we loved what we got for a last minute booking and the price. I do recommend.

Unit 206 is so cool, quiet, and clean! No air conditioner here but we didn't need it on the second floor, there was plenty of cool air flowing. The view from the lanai is amazing especially for the fantastic sunsets and the pool area is spacious and clean! Overall a great stay!

We had a great stay at this charming unit with private lanai and ocean views. Sunsets were beautiful! I really appreciated the basics that the unit was stocked with - that’s not always the case. But trash bags, detergents and toilet paper made it super easy. Great location near beautiful beaches. Loved it!

This is our first time on Maui island. We can’t wait to come back again. The condo was very nice and clean. Views are amazing! We got to whale watch from our balcony. Sea turtles were visible from the sea wall. Makani sands met all our expectations!! True paradise!!

The unit is well stocked with everything you could need in Maui including snorkeling gear, chairs, and a light umbrella. Makani sands is walking distance to a number of good restaurants and a small sandy beach. We throughly enjoyed the sunset each evening with stunning views of Lanai and Molokai. It’s also a quick drive to Kampala, Lahaina etc.
