Amazing property. Will stay here on our next trip to Maui

The description and details of the condo were accurate. The ancillary items provided (spices, beach toys, etc,) set this condo apart from other condos that we have previously rented. Cindy was very responsive to all our questions.

I booked this condo for my family of 6 ages 7, 12, 16, 40, and 43; I’m 66. We had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to spread out and live very comfortably for a week in paradise!! The penthouse condo was clean and beautifully arranged and decorated. But…THE VIEW from our lanai was breathtaking. The moment we opened the door to the lanai, we looked at the panoramic view of the multiple blue waters of the ocean and then looked at each other with smiles from ear to ear! We knew we made the right decision to book this condo. The huge kitchen, dining area, and living area were just perfect for us. The washer and dryer was so convenient for all of us, a great touch to the condo! We watched whales and turtles from the lanai, the beach, and from the pool! The property is centrally located on the island; every event we attended on the island was within 11 minutes. Captain Jack’s restaurant is located on the property beside the pool with a view of the ocean; the food is delicious and the staff is so friendly and full of information about Maui! The grounds were clean and well manicured, and the very friendly groundskeepers were constantly tending to the property upkeep. Parking was ample. A small convenience store, McDonalds, a sushi restaurant, a coffee shop, souvenir shops, among other shops and eateries are all within a 5-minute walk. Our host Cindy was great!! We all agreed that the condo was an A1 choice! We will definitely book this condo again on our next trip to Maui! Mahalo!!

This is an AMAZING unit! The view was fantastic! The pool and beach were outside the door. They had a restaurant next to the pool, that was convenient. The unit itself was very comfortable, with a great balcony that looks over the ocean/beach/pool. It is fully stocked and lacks nothing. They have several natural gas grill stations, which we used.Parking spots are really tight, that would be my only improvement.

We had such a good trip to Maui and this property was a part of our wonderful vacation! It was super clean and everything felt nice and new. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the beds were comfortable. The cute little sleeper sofa on the enclosed lanai was a bonus. We loved drinking our coffee on the other lanai and watching the whales every morning! Check in and check out was easy.In addition, the property has a nice beach, grills close by, plenty of beach toys, and a pool that our kids loved. There's even a place by the pool to rent paddleboards, snorkel gear, etc. We would definitely stay here again.You do have to pay a "resort fee" when you check in - ours was 75. The only (small) issue we had was that the property advertises a lot of fun free classes, like lei-making and hula dancing, but wouldn't let us take them because we had rented through here instead of through the resort. It wasn't a huge deal but our kids were disappointed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Condo was in overall good shape. The only thing I would recommend is to replace all cabinets in this unit. It was clean and had everything we needed. Will come back!

The condo was so nice! Showers, beds, kitchen, and the extras like having the beach equipment and extra kitchen supplies was wonderful. We grilled out, ate at the local restaurant, hot tea overlooking the ocean each morning. Owners communicated back immediately at my questions durinbbooking.

This please was just perfect for our family. We had three couples and celebrated 3 birthdays. The condo was centrally located from everything we wanted to do. We especially loved whale and turtle watching from the balcony. In fact, we had most of our meals from the table watching either the sunset or the sunrise behind us

On the water.Sun early moring to sun set. The waves a little to powerful but this old man got he's tan. Recent fire interesting but most things up and running.

This condo was exactly as it was stated. Beautiful, right on the beach, easy check-in, no parking fee, tons of kitchen items to eat/cook there, lots of room for four adults. Vance and Kelli were extremely quick in their responses to questions.Only negative comment I would say is that for the price, it would have been nice to have bathroom amenities to cover the week we were there given the service and management fees that we paid. Unfortunately, there was no laundry detergent as stated there would be. Other than that, I would absolutely stay their again and will recommend to anyone going to Maui.

We LOVED our stay at this condo! The view is amazing! It almost feels like you're sitting on a Cruise Ship looking out over the ocean! We saw some whales and turtles too! There was PLENTY of room for the 4 of us--my husband and I and our 2 adult daughters. We would love to return to this unit in the Sands of Kahana!

Condo had a nice view and the kitchen well stocked. The only problem was the stove. It was extremely hard to work. The directions were there but we never could get it to cook in a timely manner!

My family and I stayed at the Sands of Kahana for a couple weeks and had a great time. The location of the place is very convenient; close to Napili Beach and DT Flemings as well as places like Bad Ass Coffee and Java Jazz which we love. The view was fantastic as we watched the whales breach and turtles swim along the shoreline. The condo was spacious and had all the amenities. Beautifully put together and maintained by the owners.

I've stayed in many properties over the years both in Hawaii and many other foreign lands. This is truly the best! Reason being, great ocean view, large unit with nice sized bedrooms and beds. Everything you could need to prepare a meal is in the kitchen. Nice TV's in all rooms. With all that being said than their is Joseph the host who is very accommodating. Great Vacation spot!

This property is absolutely perfect. Our family of 6 had more than enough room and there wasn’t anything we needed that the condo did not provide. We couldn’t be happier and would stay here again without hesitation.

Our stay was perfect. The place had everything we needed to accommodate a senior citizen and a family with kids and teens. There was so much space inside with easy access to the beach, pool, spa, and restaurant. Parking was free. Towels, beach chairs, kitchen utensils.... everything we needed was provided. We have no complaints and would stay again.

The view was fabulous. Condo was exactly as advertised. Clean condo and the initial paper products left as a starter set was more than enough. The building itself is a little dated and has one elevator. Could use more lounge chairs on the beach and pool area. Loved the convenience of Capt Jack's restaurant. Ate there several times.

Congrats to new owners. They have lots of work ahead of them to make it a first class unit. We appreciated the AC units recently installed. Gilberto, the handyman/cleaner, was a gem. Loved that there were spices, coffee filters, coffee, etc in the pantry. The owner was very responsive. Thank you

My wife and I loved the unit. Very large and way bigger than the 2 of us needed but was situated on the beach and all of the amenities. Exactly as advertised and we would most definitely return.

Our family of 4 and another family of 4 stayed in this condo. We had 3 teenage boys and a teenage girl. The place was spacious and had lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with appliances. We drank coffee on the patio and watched whales and turtles. We were pleasantly surprised that this location was a short walk to a surf break. Morning and evening surf sessions happened During the day we would explore other beaches and hikes. The location of the condo was a great for exploring the west side of Maui. We had such a great time and are sad to be heading back to rainy Seattle.

I was a little nervous about this being a first floor unit after reading a few reviews, but it is not a ground floor unit! Parking is underneath and the view is not affected whatsoever! This unit had the most stunning views of anywhere I’ve ever experienced! Sea Turtles would come and lay on the beach, and we watched whales breach right from the lanai! Just magnificent!!!

Wow. Very impressive. The condo was very clean and included everything you would needlots of beach towels, beach toys, cooler, a large closet full of fun. Kitchen very equipped.Coffee pods was a nice touch. Loved everything about this condo. The location was great. I highly recommend this unit. Very large and comfortable. Owner Cindy was very responsive to my messages. Thank you. My family and I had a great time.

The property was beautiful and well kept. Our 5th floor condo, #356, overlooked the ocean with views of other islands. This beautiful condo was just what we needed for 4 adults, with lots of room, comfort, and well furnished. Captain Jacks restaurant, on-location, was excellent and was less costly than other local spots. We would choose this condo again in a heart beat!

This property is exactly how pictured. Its clean & beautiful. The view (my favorite part) is amazing, its absolutely stunning. We could see some whales out in the water from our balcony. Our girls loved using the boogie boards & having their own private balcony. All of your basic needs are supplied (sheets, towels, silverware, etc). We would absolutely recommend this place & would most certainly book again.

We stayed a week in February - 2 families of 4 (kids age 3 - 12) and had a wonderful time. It was so nice to have the pool, beach, Captain Jack’s restaurant and beach gear rental all in such close proximity to the condo. We also enjoyed evening pickleball at the lit courts. Under building parking is nice to have a cool car to go out to. Miso Phat sushi right across the street is also excellent. Would rent again!

The views from this balcony & living area are incredible. We spotted several whales while we were enjoying our time outside. The no AC was not an issue, the condo has fans and the breeze is nice coming off the ocean and into the condo. Plenty of space in the kitchen for cooking & enjoying meals in. Would absolutely stay here again.

February 2025

I can’t say enough about this beautiful condo, the pictures do not do it justice! It was so spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. It has everything a family could need. The view was awesome with many whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. The location was central and the beach was wonderful. The locker of beach chairs and toys was an added bonus. Thank you for the wonderful stay!!

The property is exactly as shown in the online listing which is often not the case. Beautifully renovation and spacious accommodations. My brother stayed in another condo on the same property and was quite envious of where we were staying. The owners have thought of everything with many helpful suggestions, all manner of beach toys, etc. Very high end towels and more than you could ever use for the beach.The on-site restaurant, Captain Jack's was great and so convenient, yet you can walk or drive a short distance to so many more. The concierge was very helpful in planning several trips for us and each of them was first-rate.I've been staying at owner rentals for 30 years and this was among the best I've experienced. Would definitely recommend.

Family group of 6 and we really enjoyed the space! So much natural light and a view of the ocean at every turn. Beautiful breezes off the water and the sounds of waves crashing lulled us to sleep. We were even able to watch whales and turtles from the balcony!The condo was clean and spacious with everything you would need to make meals or hang by the pool or beach…which were right downstairs. So convenient!Cynthia was always available if we had and questions and provided a huge list of suggestions for restaurants and excursions which we followed and were never disappointed.We would most definitely stay here again!!

We had the most incredible stay at this condo in Maui! From the moment we arrived, the view took my breath away – the panoramic ocean views from the lanai are absolutely stunning, and watching the sunsets every evening was a highlight of our trip. Plus, we saw a ton of whales without even leaving our room! The condo itself was pristine and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The host was extremely responsive, always available to answer any questions and provide helpful tips for things to do around the island. It really felt like they genuinely cared about making our experience special.The resort amenities were top-notch as well – from the beautiful pools to the well-maintained beach access and fantastic on-site restaurant, it truly felt like a luxurious escape. This place exceeded all expectations and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

This place really delivered. We had 5 women staying for a girls trip and felt like we had plenty of room. We spend most of the time sitting on the porch listening to the ocean and watching the sunsets and whales. The views were amazing and the apartment well appointed. The beach right in front was a beautiful spot to swim. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend

Imagine sitting on your Lanai sipping your coffee and seeing a dozen whales frolicking in the waters off of West Maui. That’s what this property offers. It is nicely appointed, clean and close to many attractions and amenities. Can’t go wrong.

The lanai was outstanding and included a convenient gas grill. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The round kitchen table was great for playing cards. Access to the beach club and racquet club was real plus. Overall we had an outstanding stay!

Our blended family of seven stay for five nights. The location was great - there was plenty of space and the pool/hot tub were great transition to the start and end of our days. The view was amazing and the property manager was very responsive. The only heads up I would offer to the next guests is that there was only one set of shampoo and conditioner for the two bathrooms and the kitchen only has the bare essentials - no spices, plastic wrap, tinfoil, etc. A few additional bath towels would have been nice as well.
