  Darlene L from Saskatoon , Saskatchewan recommends this vacation rental

  We had whale action as well as turtles to view right from our patio! Rental had everything we needed as well as probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever stayed at in any hotel or condo I’ve stayed in!! Not really any beach but lounge chairs next to the ocean to watch sunsets when it wasn’t too cloudy was great! Only thing was office was mostly closed so if had questions no one available. Tammy when there was really friendly!

  • Manager Responded on 2/3/2023

    Aloha Darlene, Thank you for the review. My assistant had to fly to Oahu for her mothers funeral so we had to adjust the office hours.

  We loved staying at Matthew’s condo! The views are unreal! We saw sea turtles in the water right outside the patio in the evenings. The sunset views were absolutely perfect. The condo was clean and comfortable, walking distance to many stores, restaurants, and beaches. A quick drive to Kaanapali and Lahaina for more beaches, restaurants, activities, and shopping. The breeze from the ocean made it very comfortable, no need for AC. We would definitely stay again!

  This condo is in an incredible location and the views from the lanai are unreal! We watched every sunrise and sunset. We saw turtles every day and swam in the water right outside. The kitchen was extraordinarily well equipped and there was a cooler, snorkel gear, and beach towels which was great! Matthew was super quick to respond when I asked a question. The one caveat to the amazing-ness is the overall noise/privacy. The bedroom is right by the outer stairs and when folks came into the unity upstairs, it was fairly disruptively loud (even though I don’t think they were doing anything other than having a normal day!) everyone is sharing the outdoor space and the lanai opens up to it, so if you are looking for privacy, this many not meet your needs! All in all, we had a magnificent time and it was the perfect jumping off point for several Maui adventures!

  Michaele C from falls city, Nebraska recommends this vacation rental

  Makani Sands was a wonderful place to stay. The condos are very clean and had everything you need. I was, however, disappointed that there was no beach of any kind. I had to go two blocks down to get in the ocean. The sea wall was in bad shape. Plans to repair it is underway but I didn’t know any of that when I booked. Ocean is a big part of my trip. When that seawall is repaired, that would be a perfect place to stay. Condo, location, beautiful flowers, friendly people all too notch.

  Bryan E from Coquitlam, BC recommends this vacation rental

  We love the location and the oceanfront experience and have stayed at this property several times before. The unit we were in was nice but could benefit from some maintenance, but did have everything we needed. The only real negative was the very loud people in the unit above who enjoyed stomping around and waking us up every morning at 5:00AM and having hours long speakerphone conversations on their lanai for the entire complex to enjoy. We really enjoyed the pool (now heated!) and you can't beat the gorgeous view and my wife was thrilled with all the whale activity right out front. Tammy the manager was also great and we will return again but hopefully to a somewhat quieter experience.

  It was wonderful stay in Maui. The island is truly majestic and we craved to stay longer if only we could.

It was also in a great location and gave us easy access to Maui’s restaurants, beaches, and the excursions we had planned. Cannot wait to be back soon!

  Matthews condo was a true gem. The pictures were right on, when I walked into the condo, the first thing I saw was the ocean. It has amazing views, and the people that worked there were lovely and helpful. We usually stay at a resort, but this trip I just wanted to be away from crowds and have some peace and quiet.

  Our stay in Matthew’s condo was amazing. The location is incredible, a short drive to Napili Bay (our favorite beach) and a short drive to Lahaina (where we had some activities planned and there are larger grocery stores/restaurants). Waking up every morning with the ocean and beautiful views of Molokai and Lanai was more than we could have asked for, not to mention the sunsets. We even saw sea turtles multiple times at the small beach just outside the lanai. The condo was well equipped and Matthew was a helpful, responsive host. This was a great value and exactly what we were looking for.

  We wanted a view and boy did we get one! every night we sat and watched the sunset go down and it was absolutely tranquil. We rented bikes and rode around town for most of the days. Everything you need is in the area and the food truck court is just down the street and a fun place to meet people and try different foods. There is no air conditioning, but the breeze coming through makes up for it! Mathew was a wonderful host and the office staff were so pleasant and helpful. Tammy's energy and kindness really makes the place that much more special. Mahalo for opening up your home to us! The memories we had there will last a life time, we will be back again!

  Unbelievable ocean front condo that far exceeds any expectations.

A great bonus is the local community feel from the limited other condos that are a part of the unit. Will 100% stay again when we return to Maui. Mahalo!

  This was our 3rd time in maui, 2nd time in this unit. Love it here, quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Cant wait to go again. We had some friends come with us this time and they said when they go back they will stay at Makani Sands. Wonderful place, even more amazing when the beach is there in the summer months.

  Wow - Matthew's place is truly fantastic! - Photos are 100% accurate, unit is steps away from the ocean, and the condo complex has it's own small private beach. You can hear the ocean from the bedroom - it's amazing. - Communication, check-in and check-out were all easy. - Loved the location - quick drive or Lyft to Ka'anapali and Lahaina, but Honokowai has a great local vibe and some awesome shops (recommend açaí at Farmers Market Maui and coffee at Bad *** Coffee!) Highly recommend staying here; can't wait to go back!

  We arrived to keys under the mat- perfect for after hours arrival! The condo was so cozy and perfect for the 2 of us. Very clean and well stocked. We loved watching the sunsets with the neighbors each night. All the little crabs on the beach, turtles swimming by and geckos on the patio! The coffee shop down the road is perfect walking distance to the best coffee! The Fish Market was our nightly dinner pick up for a patio dinner! We loved the sound of the waves all day long, with quick access to down town Lahaina for shopping! Would absolutely stay here again! Beach front without resort chaos . This place has a special little magic about it that I hope it never loses!

  We were fortunate to stay 5 days at Matthews condo in Maui for my 50th birthday, which my boyfriend was so wonderfully thoughtful to surprise me with. Matthew was very quick to respond to our questions and offered great tips and suggestions on what to do and where to eat. The condo setting is exactly as described but you won't know the beauty of seeing the ocean and sunsets from either sitting inside or outside on the Lanai until you book your stay :)

There’s so many great features...Literally just a few steps away from the ocean, perfect view of the sunset, many turtle sittings, great area for snorkeling, first floor, close to the pool and great cross breeze in the bedroom. Was unsure about no AC but the fan and cross breeze in the bedroom made for great sleeping! Did I mention TURTLE sittings, daily! So beautiful! I came to Maui to experience the beauty of the island without dealing with the hustle and bustle of resort accommodations and this was the absolute perfect place to stay to experience Maui!!!

  If you are looking to get away from high end hotels this is the place. The condo had everything we needed for the week. All we had to get was our food. The view is just breathtaking. We had high surf the first few days then it calmed down and was able to snorkel and saw some sea turtles. This condo made a great home base for us to explore the island. Matt was great to work with. Thanks again for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

  Loved Makani Sands. I have been staying next door at Kaleialoha for the past 20 plus years. I decided to come to Makani Sands this time because of Kaleialoha's seawall issue. Unit 108 was just fine. The staff was attentive and friendly. The grounds around the lani were well maintained and the whole atmosphere of the complex was excellent. Full marks!
  
  My only suggestion, which I have already mentioned to the staff, is that I would recommend that the HOA put in their "guest rules" something about music on the common lani. I love music as a general rule, but I do not want to be subjected to someone else's music if all I want to do is listen to the surf. A couple of other guest used wireless speaker to listen to music while on the common lani, which means that I had to listen to it as well. That is really intrusive. Perhaps there should be a rule that says if you are going to listen to music on the common lani please use headphones--no wireless speakers please--be considerate of the others around you who may not want to hear your music. It is a good compromise and a very simple solution.

  We had an excellent time in Maui. Our stay at Makani Sands was great. We had everything we needed. The Ocean View IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The photos are beautiful, but nothing compares to experiencing the views and the sounds of the waves. We enjoyed coffee and lounging every morning and evening. We had a visit each night from a big sea turtle who seems to make the beach in front of the complex his home. We walked to various shops as well as a great Farmers Market just down the street. The location allowed us to easily go out for day visits around the island. We enjoyed travelling the Road to Hana...although it was a BIG DAY trip, coming back to the condo in the evening and relaxing after the long trek around the island was VERY relaxing. (check out the Maui Winery and Grandma's Coffee house too) I would stay at Makani Sands again for sure! The saddest part was having to leave....Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa!! PS. Go to Costco for all your macadamia nut needs!

Fantastic views across to Lanai and Molokai with some great sunsets. Condo itself was well equipped although some electric sockets did not appear to work. Washer/ dryer in cupboard, not easy to access. Bedroom at the back of the unit was small and dark. Large shower unit made amends. Good property for 2. Easy parking, lovely gardens and nearby Beach Walk and some road walking enables you to get to Lahaina.

  Starting from my contact with the owner, Matt Miller, I had a good impression that the owners and managers were nice and professional. The unit is located on the first floor of a four-story condo building by a private beach. The bedroom is small, but the kitchen and living room are a good size. The cleaning fee was a little steep, but the condo was very well-kept even though we did catch a few cockroaches. The beach is small but very nice, and is also the best in that area which hosts many condo buildings. The area has easy access to shops and restaurants, and is a short 10 minute drive away from two larger tourist towns. The sunset view from the condo is stunning! Overall, it was a great experience. We would love to stay here again.

  I miss going out every night and seeing the turtle(s) asleep on the beech, waking up to the gorgeous crystal blue sea and snorkling outside the condo. We enjoyed the trip and it was one of the best trips. We loved the condo. The bottom floor was great because it felt like the outside was an extension of the unit. We ate breakfast on the lania and listened to the waves. The rooms were very comfortable and there was this awesome breeze that went threw it. It was a great location. I liked the fact there is a strict 10pm noise curfew because we did not have to listen to parties. It is a nice 30 unit small building (which we loved). It was the few in the area with an actual sandy beach as well as coral. We will be back for sure. It felt like a home away from home.

  You cannot beat the water access! Can watch the turtles during the day. Some of the turtles beach themselves at night to sleep. Very nice updated kitchen. This unit is right by the elevator so you can hear everyone when trying to sleep. Would be nice to have an ac unit in the bedroom so you can sleep in without hearing outside noise while keeping cool with the window closed. Can always put the bed in the living room I guess to hear the waves but then you have to have the patio door open which is a security hazard. Plenty of extra pillows in the closet which is a must. Thought we were having maid service but did not. Guess the cleaning fee was for cleaning at the end of the week? Nice washer and dryer in the unit. Water stains on the popcorn ceiling in the living room, dirty popcorn ceiling in the bedroom, inside of bathroom door frame needs painting and the outside light was missing a bulb and was broken. A wooden fish with shells glued on it that was supposed to hang on the wall was broken and was just sitting on the patio table. Mismatched chairs. Not huge problems. It just gives the appeal of the beach front access condo a bit of a tarnished look. Could use another couch as well in the living room. Again, not huge problems but could be remedied with just a little TLC. Overall, a great unit and a great location close to amenities.

Most necessities are provided, kitchen has the basics. Appreciated the beach toys and towels, snorkel gear, and scale. The rates have steadily increased over the last few years so frustrating to also pay the cleaning fees, would be nice to have maid service with fresh linens on extended stay (past 14 days). Small washer/dryer is helpful but very hard to dry towels and sheets.

  This was our third time staying at Makani Sands but our first time in #108. The upgrades were lovely! I would like to add that upgrades could also be done in the bedroom (tiles instead of the carpet like in the rest of the condo). The bed was wonderful and comfortable and kingsize! One drawback with 108 is that it is not as quiet simply because it is close to the entrance of the condo so extra noise because of that, therefore for that reason, it would be nice if one could completely close the bedroom window but you cannot. We were aware that there would probably be more noise because of where it was situated. Because you can achieve a continual flow of air throughout the condo, air conditioning is not needed.
  
  What we really love at Makani Sands is beach/ocean front which gives everything such an open feeling. For us to be right beside the water is what we love. If we don’t feel like going to a beach – it is right there and you can snorkel right in front of the condo and a good place to learn if you have never done it before.
  
  When we did have some issues, they were dealt with very quickly by Roseanna or Bert. I don’t go on vacation expecting perfection but probably do expect to be looked after if there are issues of any sort and am pleased that this happens at Makani Sands.
  
  There were lawn chairs which we definitely used when we went to other beaches but a cooler would have been nice to have. And also they had boogie boards and snorkeling equipment of which we did not use. We always rent our snorkeling equipment from The Snorkel Store (highly recommend). The barbeques are not far from the condo.
  
  Thank-you to the owners for the upgrades but probably the bedroom needs a little work like the carpet looks like it should go and some of the slats on the bedroom window on the outside kept falling out and we would have to go fix them up. There were a few other areas that could probably use some attention. Thanks!

  Do not take room #108....bedroom was next to only elevator and stairs in the four floor complex. I am sure that #107 and #109 are almost as bad. However, the other rooms were very well furnished. Ours was very scarce and had no table for dining. Also it has never been remolded like the others.

  My family of four (two boys ages 8 & 11) stayed in this place for 9 days in December and had a great time. This is right off the beach so it is very convenient. We saw an eel, leather back turtle, green sea turtle, and whales right from our lanai.

  Our honeymoon! Great location - excellent. However, I had no idea there was no A/C. We sweated profusely our entire honeymoon; kinda sad. 90 degrees inside the condo. We had to constantly take cold showers and Kay still by the fan. The condo was beautiful, the location was amazing! Would stay again if A/C was added.

  The location is fantastic and the people we met from other units were too - especially Judy! The ceiling in our unit had some water damage that needs to be addressed.
