Wonderful

Makani Sands is a well-maintained property located right on the beach but close to a variety of restaurants and shops and just down the road from the largest of the Lahaina area resorts. The property managers are considerate and professional and insured a comfortable stay for us. Our unit was clean, everything worked, and had a great view of the ocean where we watched the turtles swim by and whales breaching daily.
What an absolutely beautiful location. We enjoyed watching the whales from the two lanais and hearing the ocean waves at night.Being a corner unit, we had more light and better views from the lanais. The building is conveniently located within walking distance to a beach park and coffee shops and restaurants.
The place is a great location, walking distance to so much. The view from the balcony’s are amazing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely, will recommend to friends and family and we will stay here again!
Condo is in a great location with wonderful views of the ocean. Property manager was excellent. She made check in and check out easy. Pool area and ocean front deck were perfect for enjoying the sunshine. Condo had everything we needed but could use some updating.

Reviewer Comments:
My family had a wonderful stay! Plenty of space for a large family and stocked with pretty much everything you’ll need. The condo itself is oceanfront and we enjoyed watching the sea turtles all day everyday. We were also able to see humpback whales from our balconies and that was dreamy! There’s a clean pool for fun down time and shops, grocery stores, coffee, and some restaurants are a short walk away. It was the perfect place for our family; you won’t regret it!
We loved everything about our stay, the views were amazing, condo was stocked with everything we needed. I look forward to another stay here in the future!!
Great to look out on the water and see turtles playing in the surf! The condo was clean and the a/c worked well, but the place could be updated (a bit dingy) and there was an electrical glitch in one of the bedrooms. Overall, a wonderful vacation.

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. If we needed anything Tammy was prompt to respond. The views from the lanai were magnificent. We enjoyed snorkeling right off the property and saw several fish and even turtles swimming around. Although it didn’t have a sandy beach there are several options within a few minutes driving if you are looking for that. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Makani Sands! Yes the unit is a bit dated but everything was great. Nice big lanais with beautiful views. Enough space for our 4 adults & 2 kids without feeling cramped. My kids loved the pool! Provided snorkel gear was a bonus too. Snorkeling right out back was awesome, lots of turtles! Would definitely stay again!

Maui rental
Great Location ! Ocean about 15 yards away. Enjoyed the 3 bedroom ocean front rental. Close to coffee shops, cafes and walking distance to the food trucks. The turtles pass through the water in front of our condo and see them clearly from the lanai, snorkeled with the turtles in front of our condo. Apartment is a little dated but very comfortable. Manager Tammy and Debbie were responsive to our needs and allowed us a little later checkout at 12:30 pm.
I feel it offers great value to a family like us with 6 adults
Mahalo !
This was a family trip to celebrate our son’s college graduation and each of our adult children had their significant other so we were a group of 6. We loved snorkeling right off the beach and enjoyed the waves crashing at night while we sat on the porch overlooking the ocean. We also loved the location with access to many beaches where our son could surf and we could snorkel and we enjoyed being close to many restaurants and close to the grocery store. It really was a perfect place to stay and we would love to come back !!

Tammy the manager is excellent to deal with. She is very efficient and a pleasure which helps make your stay wonderful. The condo does need some updating but the location and views were great!
Front row seats to watching the whales and turtles right from the oceanside decks! The unit was clean and well-stocked with sheets, fluffy towels, and household items. A few items need repair, but we were very comfortable and happy. Walk to coffee shop, farmers market, and fish market. Supermarket a mile away. The bedrooms facing the street are a little noisy in the morning (traffic, roosters), but we got used to it after the first night. It was a great homebase location for our activities and day trips. We would come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay in unit #301 in Makani Sands. Everything was as pictured, and the unit was very clean, but the decor could use some updating. The close proximity to the water is amazing! We would stay there again in the future.
We are a family of six and this Makani Sands location was perfect for our trip to Maui. The views from both balconies were amazing. We loved the beach / sitting area. We were very close to other beaches and restaurants, but we also did a lot of cooking and used the grills one night. The place has everything we needed. Our kids loved the heated pool and spent hours in it. The snorkeling right off the property was quite good. And the other residents are really nice. My step son saw one of them fishing one night, chatted with him, and then was told he could use the fishing pole any time! Someone else gave him some bait. He was in heaven. Great place to stay. Highly recommend it!

incredible views from the double Lanai, rainbows, whales, air conditioned comfort, well stocked unit, everything you need! Nice, shallow water although the beach itself is gone. Access is difficult, need to improve steps which no longer go down to the water., hence 4 stars.

Our family of six adults stayed in #301. It is just the right size. Everything was in great shape and we had a wonderful time. We like the updates made to the sea wall and the steps down to the ocean. We enjoyed waking each morning and watching the whales from our balcony. This is our second time staying at Makani Sands and each time was great.

Reviewer Comments:
My two cousins, along with our husbands were the guests for nine days. In all, there were six of us in this rental and it provided us with plenty of room. We spent most of our time on one of two balconies watching whales and even saw some turtles swim buy. One of the turtles came up on the beach. There were some things we wish we had on site but overall it was great. We all said we would return.
Location and view are 10/10! Numerous turtles along the rocks by the sitting area made dreams come true for family members to see them in the wild. Condo was overdue for pest control, roaches in the kitchen were abundant. Property manager was very responsive and offered another unit but we chose to stay and use raid, didn't see anymore. Toilet broke, was addressed first thing next day. Appreciate the immediate responsiveness. It was hard to keep the 2 guest rooms cool, master was easy to cool. Appreciated the nice beach towels readily available. Overall, we loved the view and accommodation of Property manager, unit is over due for some TLC. Even in current condition it's still a nice unit I would recommend but understand it's not a shiny new modern condo.
