I appreciated the communication between the property and me regarding issues with roaches and bugs during the course of our stay. VRBO was uncommunicative and unapologetic about the conditions and allowed for no refund for us to go somewhere else. Also, there is only ONE window ac in the living room of this unit. The bedroom down the hall had no unit and no circulation without additional fans we asked for. It was hot and muggy and was not even Summer yet.

Great views from the patio with a table and a nice screen (we saw a few sea turtles!), well equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture (e.g., bed and sofa bed).

Cozy, clean and great view. However, the winds were so strong that we couldn't enjoy the outdoor areas. Fully furnished with all you need. Check-in directions said to open both doors for ventilation, but wind was so strong we felt like stuff was flying off the walls.

We were told they were spraying for insects 2 days before we arrived. The vague direction indicated we needed to be out by 9am to accomidate this. There were no other details. So we were umable to use the room for the better part of the day. Management reached out after i sent them an email. But i received no calls or reply to my email.

Overall stay was reasonable. We had a carpenter ant issue on day 2 that was acted upon quickly and correctly. The building maintenance, however is useless. The fire door across from the room would not close fully and latch. Consequently, it would open and bang every few minutes in the trade winds. Multiple requests to the mgmt company were acted upon by informing the on site personnel as this type of repair is not within their scope. That and an in person request to the onsite building mgr by yours truly were ognored. Our sleep was interrupted for two nights until I jammed something in the door to prevent it from banging. Otherwise the view, amenities and location on the water, were just what we ordered

We had a wonderful stay here at island sands. Beautiful views of the sunrise over the bay with daily sightings of sea turtles and humpback whales. We enjoyed the location which was central to most of the island and walkable to the harbor. We hope to return soon.

Some of the best unobstructed views you’ll get on Maui! We saw so many turtles and whales right from our lanai. Sunrise and sunset were so beautiful. Property is clean and as described. Area is quiet, conveniently located and accessible to other popular areas. We stayed here as a family of 3 and my sister and loved it. We would definitely book here again next time we come to the island.

The location was good. I would say really look at the pictures on line. We had no place to eat our meals. The two bar stools they had one was broken. For the charge of cleaning it should have been cleaner.

We spent a lot of time on the balconies. The trees blocked the view some but it was still beautiful.The length of time of the construction was a little deceiving. Because of the holidays we couldn’t get to the other side of the property where the turtle beach was because the construction company had it blocked off. We couldn’t get anybody to open up the gate on the north which gave us the only access to the turtle beach. That little beach was one of the selling points.We had problems with flooding of the living room air-conditioning three times. It might be something you really need to look into. The only suggestions I would have is bath mats and better outdoor chairs for the beach. One side of the bed didn’t go up and down, and we couldn’t figure out how to turn off the fan.The two bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us.

We were traveling with our 20 yo son and we were so glad he had his own bedroom/bathroom. The apartment was spacious and the balcony was a wonderful place to sip morning coffee. The place had all of the amenities we needed and more. We did a whale watch and a snorkel tour and it was wonderful to be able to leave everything at the condo, including our car, and just walk to the docks. This was the first place we saw turtles swimming (in front of the condos on the right as you face the water. And not far away is a public place to get in if you want to snorkel. There is no beach - but there is a pool which we didn't have time to use. Great clean spot. We'd stay there again. While there are other people, it was nice for us that we were in a less populated area.

Everything is as advertised for this beautiful condo. The view is beyond words. Robert replied to all my questions quickly. Just 15 minutes from the airport, its location is perfect to easily access all areas of the island.

We stayed for 9 nights and the view was very spectacular and beautiful. The house wasn't clean and dust was in every stuff (living room, bedroom, etc) and in the kitchen floor. The worst part was having small cockroaches moving around on the cabinets, drawers, counter, and in the bathroom floor. Every time, I wanted to grab cups, spoons and etc saw small cockroaches and we had to wash utensil before using them. I let the manager knew and they just place some bait in the kitchen but it didn't work and we saw those cockroaches until the last day of the stay. Additionally, The bathtub stopper wasn't hold the water in the bathtub and we let them know and didn't fix it and seemed didn't care.

Excellent view and plenty of room for family of 5 with young adult children. Well stocked with beach towels, chairs and an umbrella. View is amazing. Loved family dinners on the deck and spotting turtles and whales in the harbor. No real beach here but we felt close to several beaches and the other adventures (hiking, snorkeling and surfing) that we came for. Very responsive host.

We had a great time here! It’s the perfect vicinity to nice beaches and restaurants while also being away from the bustle. It was so nice to have the beach chairs and lanai access.

Overall, great. Only problems were the kitchen faucet is a leaky piece of crap. The glass louvers in the bedroom window do not seal and the wind whistles through them all night at a high volume. We were very happy with our stay otherwise.

The location is excellent, and the views are amazing. The host was easy to work with, and the trip was amazing. The AC unit is pretty loud, but we were able to open the windows after the first day, so we didn't need it.

This was the perfect location for us to get to all parts of the island to enjoy hikes and beaches. Very central and close enough to major areas for eating and shopping. The harbor is an easy walk with shops and restaurants as well. The unit itself is well appointed and clean. We were just two adults, so it was very spacious for us. We loved sitting on the balcony in the evenings and listening to the waves. The sunrise in the morning was the perfect way to start the day, and we spotted turtles several times. The host was very responsive and very helpful. I want to return during whale season!!

This condo has an amazing view. You feel as if you are on a boat. The wind was wild at times, but I love the wind, and you never need to turn the air conditioning on. The one thing g that could have made it more convenient was a shopping cart for groceries going up the elevator. It is quite a task to take up a lot of groceries. Thanks for the stay in your wonderful condo.

This spot was cool
Because I had an ocean view and if you look down from the balcony there are sea turtles all along the wall eating. You see them on the beach early mor infs sleeping, then around 3 they all come out along the sea wall and munch in whatever is there. The Ac in the bedroom was LOUD but I needed it so.. Location was great for me. Quiet and not a lot of people. I would stay here again.

The only good thing about this property is the location. Very run down. Dishwasher is not attached to the cabinet. Mirror on the lanai is cracked and taped. Cone coffee filters for a non cone pot. The AC is totally inadequate-- the bedroom never cools off.

The place was clean and was easy to reach the property manager. The only downside was the slider needs new wheels. Other than that, the place was awesome, and we will try and rent it again.
From the balcony we could watch the Turtles in the water every day.

The condo was very clean and well equipped. It is too close to the sewage treatment plant so you cannot go out in the ocean. It’s a very central location to everything on the island so travelling is easy. Overall it’s a great place to stay.

The location and views were excellent, couldn't ask for anything more. The condo was small but nice. Very little room in the bathroom but we managed. The biggest issue we had was the extreme heat in the bedroom. The a/c unit is in the living area and is too small to cool the unit. The best we could get in the living area was high 70's and the bedroom was in the high 80's. We had fans going to try and cool the bedroom but there was little relief. The rental agency tried installing a portable a/c in the bedroom but it was installed improperly and water was flooding the unit below us so we were forced to shut it off. We spoke with other guests who expressed similar issues, some even trying to sleep in the living room because of the unbearable heat in the bedrooms. I would not stay there again.
To be fair, the rental agency did give us a minimal reduction in the cost but it was not enough to compensate for the lack of comfort we experienced.
