About this property

5th Floor Oceanfront-Great Reviews-1 of the biggest condos on Maui-AC-Sleeps 10+

In this beautiful oceanfront place, located in Kahana, the blue waters meet the vibrant green surroundings to make it a perfect haven. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the breath taking ocean views. Unwind in the cozy living room, or step out onto the balcony to soak in the breathtaking beach views. You will appreciate the spaciousness of our place as it is not some small hotel unit that has 3 bedrooms the size of closets that you will find on most of the 2 or 3 bedoom units on Maui.

Our place is a 5th floor oceanfront unit at the Sands of Kahana resort. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 lanais. There is over 1,850 square feet for you, your family and friends to spread out, relax and enjoy your stay while on Maui. From our living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and the lanais you will experience ocean views along with the views of the islands of Molokai and Lanai. You should be able to see whales from our lanais when the whales are spending the December to April timeframe in the warm waters of western Maui after their long travels from Alaska later in the year. In addition, over the past few years, many turtles have moved to the Kahana Beach area and many past guests have seen turtles roaming around the beach waters at the Sands of Kahana.

Indulge in the resort-style amenities at the Sands of Kahana, including a refreshing outdoor pool, a rejuvenating hot tub, a children's pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, fitness centers, free parking for as many cars as you would like and an oceanfront, on site restaurant / bar that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner along with early evening happy hours with fabulous sunset views.

If you want to make your own meals instead of going out every day and night, our kitchen comes with a stove, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and other necessary appliances to whip up delectable meals. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. There are also barbeque grills on the grounds that are cleaned every day and ready for your use. For your island food and drinks, once you land on Maui, there is a Costco and Walmart right outside the main airport exit. There are also supermarkets a few miles away from our place.

For your planning purposes, our master bedroom is located adjacent to the living room and the bigger lanai. This room has a king size bed and it has its own bathroom. Between the living room and the master bedroom there are 4 floor to ceiling doors that easily slide on a track. These doors can be used in the evenings to create a wall between these rooms and provide privacy. You can still enter the lanai from the master bedroom and the living room as there are 2 sliding doors to enter and exit the lanai. In the mornings, these floor to wall doors easily slide back into a wall slot so you can create the wonderful open space of this unit in the living room, dining room, master bedroom and lanai.

The 2nd bedroom has its own separate lanai. This bedroom is so big it has a king bed and a queen bed. The second bathroom is located just outside the entrance of this bedroom. Each bathroom has its own wall mounted hair dryers so you do not need to bring that with you. We also provide 8 large beach towels in the unit when you arrive for you to use during your stay.

The 3rd bedroom has two extra long twin beds. If you want, these 2 beds can made into a king bed.

The living room is so big we are able to provide two queen sofa sleepers. With the use of these sleepers and the beds in the bedrooms we can accommodate up to 12 people staying at our unit.

Our place has complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi to keep you connected. If you need it during your stay, each bedroom has a TV and there is a smart TV with streaming and cable channels for your entertainment. We recently placed a new air conditioning unit at our place to keep you cool during humid and hot days. Most days though you can feel the nice tropical breezes that blow through our unit. We also have ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living room to help with the air flow in our unit.

Enjoy the convenience of a washing machine and dryer in our unit, as well as a variety of games and beach toys in one of the closets to keep the whole family entertained. For the little ones, we do have a high chair seat, and a pack and play. There are places on the island that do rental baby equipment if you need something else. We would be glad to provide you with this type of information.

Explore the nearby top attractions, such as the renowned Kaanapali Beach, just an 8-minute drive away, and the serene Napili Bay, just a 4-minute drive from your doorstep. Discover the vibrant Whalers Village, a mere 8-minute drive away, where you can shop, dine, and immerse yourself in the local culture. The town of Lahaina is about 10 minutes away.

Embrace the island lifestyle and create lasting memories in this stunning beachfront condo in Kahana.

Amazing Time!!!
Our family (11 of us) had a wonderful stay here! The view was amazing! Everything was so easy. I planned all the activities months in advance with the help of the concierge desk! There was a welcome meeting we attended that we learned of a few other activities, including a hike to the near by Blow Hole, which was very scenic and fun! There were grills so we could cook a few meals at home and several stores within a few miles. There were also close by coffee shops that my older kids walked to a few mornings. It was all very safe, I felt comfortable with my kids walking to and from the pool and beach alone. My only suggestion would be to bring extra beach towels. We had plenty of towels provided, but we also went swimming in the beach, the pool, sat in the hot tub at night and then took daily showers. Luckily, there was a washer and dryer to help keep up with our towel usage! Would definitely stay there again!!!

Great view, clean and spacious!
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.

#356 Wow!
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!

Perfect family vacation
This property is located in the Kahana area of Maui. Super convenient for stores, restaurants and beach activities. We watched rainbows and whales almost every morning while having coffee on the lanai. Also had a sea turtle come ashore, right at the property. Convenient bar/restaurant right on property.

Awesome stay
This unit has a great location and view! It is well equipped with just about everything you need. The five of us were quite comfortable and it could handle several more very well. We have a timeshare at Sands of Kahana and the rest of our family stayed there which was convenient, and we obviously love the complex. This review must include how saddened we all are for the people and town of Lahaina. We are grateful for the time there just before it happened, but send heartfelt thoughts and prayers to those in Maui. I do believe those going to the island now will help support all the surrounding area businesses and people however. So, again, we do highly recommend choosing this unit!

Family Get-Away
This property was perfect for my husband and me, our grown children and a 21 month old grandbaby! The kitchen was so well appointed - spices, Tupperware, pans, utensils, pitchers...there wasn't one item I thought I needed. The restaurant s great for lunch or casual dinner. Probably the best $8 Mai Tai I've ever had. The beach is just steps from the unit. Swimming with the turtles was fabulous! We slept with the windows wide open to the sound of the breaking waves - no need for air conditioning. The unit is quite large - perfect for a toddle...very safe. Lots of board games, pool toys and pool towels. The owner was very good at staying in touch to make sure check in went well (it did). We'll be back!

Whales and turtles viewable from the balcony and livingroom. Sunsets on the ocean every night it's not cloudy. Moonlight on ocean for spectacular night views. Excellent entertainment space in kitchen livingroom and terrace. 6 beds in 3 bedrooms with two full bathrooms. Did not use the sleeper sofas. Great beach below, and 5 minute drive to full grocery store and amazing lava rock beach hikes. Little market across the street and restaurants, as well as a restaurant on site. 30 minutes from Molikini launches and a little more to sunflower fields, fresh coconuts. Great place!!!

Excellent experience at Sands of Kahana
We visited Maui with all our children and grandchildren. Seven of us stayed in this condo. The trip was planned as my 44 y/o daughter,'s dream vacation. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with cancer between planning and completion of the trip. This condo would have fulfilled everything she dreamed about. The view and the whale activity were beyond amazing. The condo location was perfect for activities, shopping, beaches, etc. The amenities and cleanliness were beyond expectations. A very spacious condo with plenty of room for family. This unit is well stocked and managed by the owner down to every detail. The owner was very much involved and direct communication was deeply appreciated, as well as local contact information in case of problems. Best VRBO I have ever stayed in. None of us wanted to leave!!! Susan

About the host

Hosted by Robert S Bayer

Host profile image
We are a family of 6. Mom, Dad and our four children. Mom and Dad are retired United States Naval officers. 3 of our childen are now in the Navy and one is stationed on Oahu since he loved going to Hawaii with us on family vacations. We are very proud and humbled by all 3 of them

Why they chose this property

We first bought a 2 bedroom timeshare at the Sands of Kahana in 2003 sight unseen. We were promised by the realtor that sold us the timeshare that the Sands of Kahana units were the biggest 2 bedroom condos on Maui. We wanted a big place since we had the 4 young children at the time. When we first checked into our unit, we couldn't believe how big the unit felt. We then had a great family vacation and fell in love with the Sands of Kahana complex. So, we decided that we wanted to be a place outright that we could use anytime during the year. With our growing family we decided to get a 3 bedroom place. Although there are only a few 3 bedroom units in the complex, we were so happy to find a 5th floor, corner unit with two lanais that is right on the beach.

What makes this property unique

There are fabulous ocean views from the lanais, living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. Since we have a corner unit we have a great ocean view but wer also get a great view of the ocean front pool right below us. It is comforting when we can look down below and see the kids playing in the pool and hot tub right below us.
From December to April you should be able to see the whales in the bay from our 5th floor lanai. In the past few years, a nice turtle reef has developed a few hundred yards south of the Sands of Kahana beach so you may see some turtles lying on the beach or some turtle heads popping out of the water.
