We absolutely loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone. The moment you walk in the door and see those floor to ceiling windows with the incredible ocean view takes your breath away. Eating homemade banana bread for breakfast in the morning on the balcony was an instant core memory. And let’s not forget whale watching from the windows. Wow! Besides that, we liked that there was plenty of space for the whole family. Nice kitchen and dining area, too. The pool and hot tub were great. And the cherry on top was eating at Captain Jack’s right downstairs. Amazing place to stay. Will come back for sure!

Outstanding accommodations! The concept of easy booking, easy in, easy out, although sad to leave, it was well worth the experience. We could easily live here

Loved visiting Renee and Brett’s place with two couples for one week. We both loved that we had ocean view from each bedroom and could hear the sound of the ocean all night long. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to do cooking and baking. Beds were comfortable and towels were flush. We are excited that they will be refreshing the decor in the future, but we spent the majority of our time at the great sands of Kahana resort outside at the beach anyways! The resort has great beach chairs, a refreshing pool, nice hot tub, tennis court, and Pickleball courts (all free and you can borrow equipment). We are definitely excited to visit in the future!

Lovely condo with a view that can't be beat. Condo is equipped with everything you could need for the beach, pool, or cooking. Plenty of room for TV watching, whale watching, or reading quietly. Spacious lanai. We liked the quiet of the Kahana location.

We were happy with the apartment overall, although it was quite pricey for a two night stay, unable to spread out the other fees (cleaning etc) over more nights to average the nightly rate down.

Wow, what an amazing location this unit is at! We slept listening to the waves and enjoyed our mornings on the lanai. We were a close drive to the islands best snorkling beaches. The unit was perfect for our family of 7 and we cooked most of the meals in the unit. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beach right on site. The owners were very prompt at answering a question we had. We highly recommend this place and will absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves in Maui again!

This condo has a gorgeous view, which was the main reason we chose it. We enjoyed eating meals on the patio with the sound of the ocean waves so close.although

I highly recommend this condo for your stay in Maui. Very spacious condo, perfect for my family of 5. Very clean, the hosts were very responsive! We loved hearing the ocean at night and in the morning seeing the whale spouts right off the lanai, and perfect for viewing the sunset. The amenities were so nice, we made use of the pool, the beach and the pickle ball courts. Can't wait to go back to Maui and stay in this condo again.

John was a fantastic host during our pre-Christmas trip to Maui. The condo was a stone's throw from the beach/ocean and the Kahana location made it easy to navigate the island. We will be staying at John's place again in the near future.

Great ocean views, great beach. Unit has some dated finishes. Better cutlery, cookware and dishwasher would have improved our ability to cook in the unit.

We went for our special New Years vacation. We were very impressed with very large layout and dual balcony. The ocean views from balcony were amazing. The kitchen and dual bathrooms were well equipped enough to handle our 6 person group. The pool and hot tub were nice relaxing spots to escape. This truly a top location and condo rental. The only issue was the downstairs bar/ restauraunt under construction was not available by completion date.

It had everything we needed for a week stay for our family of 7 people. The extras like pool toys beach chairs a cooler were all a helpful touch. The view was exactly as described and we saw whales and turtles from the balcony every day. Parking was Included but quite full so there was a bit of a walk someday

We have stayed multiple times at this resort. This has been one of the better rooms with great ocean views. Only wish the master bedroom had an ac unit as it got a little warm even with all the fans going.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a great stay here. The location was fantastic, easy beach access and walkable to a couple small markets and restaurants. It is 10 minutes drive to larger whiter sand beaches with snorkeling and many other markets and restaurants. The unit was very clean and large and accommodated 6 adults and two toddlers easily. The views were wonderful especially the beach facing balcony. We rented some beach chairs and toys and then found a good stash in the cabinet under the stairs so we were well supplied. Check-in and out was very easy. I spoke with the manager a few times before we arrived and received very warm and friendly customer service. Highly recommend.

Everything was great - location, cleanliness, amenities and beach equipment, well stocked kitchen utensils. The views and natural light were fantastic. We travelled with a 13 month old, and there was ample space for him to move around. The host mentioned that they didn’t have a crib available, but they do have a pack and play which our son slept in comfortably.

WOW. This was one of the BEST places we have stayed in. It was immaculate, well stocked and beautiful. Cynthia made sure we knew we could contact her for anything, but we never needed to. It was better than described. It was on the water! I would 100% recommend staying. In general, the Sands of Kahana was a very nice complex. Having a rental shop on site was so easy! But this apartment was AMAZING!

We had a great trip over Thanksgiving. Condo is beautiful and upgraded with central air. We liked the location where we could easily get to Kaanapali for all the activities, but were away from the hustle and bustle. Pool is simple but warm, much better than some fancy resorts that have slides and lazy rivers but the water is so cold your kids won’t go in. We also visited the nearby Nāpili beaches and blowhole. Location was perfect!

You can’t beat the location. There are stores that are walking distance and Whaler Village is a short drive away. While it is a first floor unit, there is a basement level so the condo is raised to more of a 2nd level condo. We saw plenty of whales from the balcony! The beach was a bit rocky. Only minor complaint was the master bathroom shower drained very slowly. Communication with the host pre trip was great. Overall we would stay here again!
Alex W.

Very clean and very easy getting checked in. I would definitely stay here again. Just one heads up, you are right on the beach and the waves are loud, they really really break load on this beach. Nice area, would recommend.

Awesome location. Condo very dated and many things needing to be repaired/replaced. Owner was responsive to concerns and took quick action to resolve AC issue. Owner has plans to make upgrades/etc. and then will be 5 stars.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We traveled with our parents to Hawaii and loved our stay here. We spent most of our time on the deck watching people and turtles. The condo was very clean and comfortable. There are no extra kitchen items so make sure to bring coffee for that first morning.

The condo is nicely decorated and has a killer view - except for afternoon hours when the direct sun drove us out. Window coverings that could have helped were mostly inoperable. Kitchen and bath cabinetry is old and failing. The deck floor and chairs had more than one generation of bird poop.

We were so fortunate to find this gem last minute for a birthday celebration trip. What a perfect place! Perfectly remodeled, new and gorgeous! Super comfortable beds. An incredible stocked kitchen with everything you’ll need - and so organized! Beautiful view right at the ocean front. Easy to access and close to other things to do (go to the Gazebo for breakfast!) We saw turtles, swam, sunned, walked the beach. Just a gorgeous place. Mahalo to the owners for creating this place!

The condo was fantastic. Very spacious to accommodate all of our family comfortably. The kitchen and area was large with lots of appliances and cookware. Everything we needed was available and in great quality. Every bathroom was large and well supplied. The view from our balcony was mesmerizing. The beach was close enough to enjoy multiple times per day. The children's pool was great for our 2 year old grandson to play in daily.Thank you Cindy for reaching out to make sure we had everything we needed. Your home was truly amazing!

The condo is absolutely beautiful. The host, Gail, is very responsive. My husband and I had a wonderful trip. The location is perfect with a few restaurants in walking distance. The condo has a full kitchen, but we did not cook on our stay. The in-house washer and dryer is perfect and was used. I would recommend booking this condo as you will not be disappointed.
