Massive wildfires on August 8, 2023 destroyed historic Lahaina Town and impacted people and businesses across the island. We welcome visitors who come to our island with compassion and respect. Please be mindful that people are still grieving the loss of loved ones, homes, and workplaces. We ask that tourists:
• Please do not stop on the Lahaina Bypass to view or take photos of the burn zones. Lahaina Town is off-limits to anyone who is not a resident or essential worker authorized to be in those zones.
• Please do not ask people about their homes and families. If they want to share their stories, they will offer them. If not, please respect their privacy.
• Some businesses are not yet re-opened; others have modified hours and services.

We welcome you and appreciate your patience and kindness during these challenging times.

Wonder views/grounds
The place was perfect for my husband and I! It had everything we needed to make it seem like home. The view of the ocean from our lanai was breathtaking. If we ever visit Maui again, this is where we will be staying :)

Wonderful experience in paradise
We have been going to Makani Sands for years and we just loved this unit. Right in front of the ocean, well equipped (they even had beach chairs and umbrella!) Very prompt help when there were wifi issues. Overall excellent experience.

Makani Sands 106
This was a lovely property, beautifully situated at ground level on the beach. The layout of the condo was perfect for us and it was very nicely furnished. We learned that it was built in 1974. Doors and door frames were a bit "tired" and needed refurbishment as did ceiling fan blades. Luggage racks in the bedroom would have also been useful. Otherwise, the unit has been nicely maintained and upgraded over the years including the addition of a multi-split air conditioning unit. The kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking and dining. Check-in and check-out instructions were very clear and reasonable, and the "starter supplies" provided by iTrip were perfect for our trip. The management team was extremely timely and helpful when we lost the entry key while on an excursion. We would definitely return to this unit for a future visit to Maui.

Love to Maui
My husband and I were supposed to visit Maui and stay at this VRBO in September 2023, but when the Lahaina fire happened, we had to reschedule for 2024. We were so happy to be back on the island. The condo was wonderful, and we loved the location. Unfortunately we had to end our vacation early due to a family emergency back home, but we hope to be back again soon.

Amazing
This was our second stay in 106 they have done a great job updating with AC and a few other things we noticed during this stay! Everyone around is nice and helpful. If you stay in 106 and have young kids just know one of the tenants next door if your at the pool you might see him looking at you with binoculars as a dad yes we had words ! He explained that he is losing his eye sight and locals come around and sneak in the pool not a good excuse but like I said we had words and I explained to him to be in my shoes with two young girls and some old guy staring at them with binoculars!! Other than that a few other tents are supper overly nice and need to understand that if someone says they don’t want to blow the shells at sunset to leave it and move on, for the married couple you don’t own the property so stop acting like you make the rules for everyone I observed him yell at a young kid for skateboarding was the kid being annoying nope is their signs posted Nope then after he was done yelling at the kid he told the kid he is an owner that may be true for 1 unit but that’s all and still don’t yell a people kids observe and locate a parent ! And talk to them. The groundskeeper was the nicest always working. This is a perfect place to relax and soak it all in.

Another great stay!
We returned to Makani Sands unit 106 after discovering this clean and comfortable unit a few years ago and falling in love with it. It's got everything we need, in a great location and with extraordinary views and ambiance. We love it and will come back again for future stays!

Great condo
My partner and I visited for 10 days mid/late April 2024 and had a great time. The location is perfect and within walking distance from many amenities. The property is very clean and had amazing views, with sea turtles stopping by daily. We'd definitely stay here again if making our way back to Maui.

A perfect condo
We stayed for a week, this unit was nicely renovated kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, furnishing. The condo has tiles instead of carpet and that is a big plus for us. Being able to sit and watch the waves and have your coffee first thing in the morning was dreamy. We will be back.

Whales each day, honu too!
This condo's ground-floor location allows us to sit a few feet from the water's edge in the morning shade and afternoon sun, watching for whales and often seeing turtles right below us. The unit is comfortably furnished and well equipped for us (two, elderly adventurers) - assistance with water temp was prompt and lighting over the stovetop would help. The non-smoking policy and congenial neighbors are a plus, as are nearby shops, including Snorkel Bobs, coffee cafe, Farmers Market store and tasty takeout. A quaint church and two beach parks are a short walk away; Napili Kai and the Kapalua Coastal Trail are a short drive north. We felt relaxed and safe our entire stay and will strongly consider returning again to Makani Sands.

Wow!
A great condo and a very sociable community. Swimming with the sea turtles that visited us every day was great. The equipment of the condo is also worth mentioning, as well as the management on the site. We would come back anytime. Mahalo!

our week
the unit was just as advertised and we really enjoyed our stay. it could use a new iron (current one has burnt stuff on it that melts off onto anything it touches) and we never could find a basic broom (which would have been helpful w/ the sand on the floor). the deck furniture is pretty tattered and just a matter of time before the chairs fail and somebody ends up on the floor. but overall we were very happy with the place and would consider it again for future trips

A dream come true!
We absolutely loved unit 106! We were right on the water! I loved waking up to drinking coffee on the porch, watching the sunrise colors in the clouds and islands, and watching whales! The condo had air conditioning and all the comforts of home. My teenagers walked to nearby coffeeshops and stores every day. Snorkeling and swimming with turtles was amazing right outside the condo. I met several couples who have been returning to this small condo community for over 10 years. The BBQ grills were perfect for making dinner at the condo and watching the most spectacular Maui sunsets every night! I celebrated my birthday by eating on the back porch watching a gorgeous sunset! A dream come true! Thank you for opening your home to my family. ❤️

Nice, comfortable place
Good location and enjoyed being right on the water and watching continuous whale show from the deck. Great views of Molokai and Lanai and perfect place for happy hour sunsets. Very convenient to nearby restaurants, take-out, grocery stores and food truck park. Not very windy during our stay so we could get into water in front of condo. Swimming pool is between units and road - basic, shaded in afternoon. Good kitchen amenities.

Everything we needed ( almost) , Nothing we didn’t .
Bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked, but the lanai was the highlight. Just it 15 ft to the water. There is no beach , but just enough sand to enter the ocean to swim or snorkel. Enjoyed sitting on the wall watching whales, a daily turtle visitor and a beautiful sunset Tiki torches were lit each night and we were surrounded by hibiscus plants which was another advantage to the ground floor unit. My one issue is in the pictures and list of items was “beach chairs, “ but it didn’t ruin our trip as you can rent them from Boss Frogs (a 2 minutes walk from the condo) and the cost is approx $30/week. We really loved staying here and enjoyed the condo location and the A/C! ( many units do not have a/c)

Fantastic ocean views and sunsets
Unit is very updated and clean. The building is older. Location is great. Short walk or drive to take out and supermarket. Only disappointment is that the “beach” is almost gone. Very little sand left to walk. Upside is that it is shallow and reefs are quite visible, which means you have a high probability of seeing sea turtles roaming around.

Very nice place and we enjoyed it! it was our first time in Hawaii and it's paradise. I have one complain and is that there were (a lot) of cockroaches. When we came back in the afternoons after of staying out for a couple of hours it was normal to see 4-5 cockroaches walking on the kitchen countertop. Most of the time when we opened the drawer to get some cutlery in the kitchen you can see cockroaches as well. I was an issue for my wife. Thanks
