  Johnathan R from Amarillo, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely loved our stay. My son and I were in the water directly behind the unit as much as we could. It was amazing having turtles swim by while we were playing in the water. The unit has beautiful views and is in a great location. We cooked out on the grills and enjoyed the island air.
  The only drawback on the unit we stayed in was no air conditioning for sleeping, but the weather was nice and it wasn't much of an issue. I noticed some of the other units have AC, so might upgrade to one of those next time. Loved staying there and already longing to go back.

  The perfect get-away: drinking morning coffee from the lanai with views of tropical blue waters, sea turtles bobbing in the gentle surf, clouds drifting by in a sky of blue. Clean condo with furnishings that add to the tropical atmosphere of simply being in Hawaii. Makani Sands employees were kind, helpful and welcoming. I will definitely book this unit or a similar one when i return to Maui. Booking direct was a breeze.

  The unit was clean and tidy and welcoming.

  Janet H from Glendora, California recommends this vacation rental

  This was our 4th time staying at Makani Sands. First time renting a one bedroom because the kids all stay home. I’ll just say it upfront...the bedroom is in the back (on the street side) and very noisy. Also, access to the water is difficult, but we knew that from previous stays. OTHERWISE, the stay was great as always!! The office staff was very welcoming. Our condo (203) was clean and inviting. There were ample supplies in the kitchen for cooking and plenty of beach chairs, etc. While at the Condo, we spent most of the time sitting on the Lanai or in the lounge chairs below watching whales and turtles. Not a day passed where we didn’t see several whales breaching out in front of the complex. BuT...the most memorable moment was during our whale watching trip and a huge Humpback breached no less than 25 feet from our boat! WOW.... All-in-all, we had a fabulous time and are already planning our next trip! Thank you Makani Sands!

  Jessica T from South Plainfield, New Jersey recommends this vacation rental

  From the moment we walked in, we knew we made the right decision to choose this condo at Makani Sands. It was our first time coming here as we had spent many of our last few trips at Valley Isle Resort just up the road. What we loved about Makani Sands was it's walking distance proximity to the Farmer's Market, stores and coffee shop. If you didn't rent a car, it's pretty easy to get around from here and get basic groceries. The condo was so adorable inside with everything already thought of for you. They have everything from beach chairs and coolers to portable fans for each room. But the biggest winner of this condo is that view!!!! The view from the balcony is a million dollar view. You are so close to the ocean that you can literally be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves crashing. My only challenge was dealing with the tiny ants in the kitchen but really, that is everywhere that is tropical. Great building, quiet pool and BBQ area/common areas and the ceremony with the conch blowing at sunset every night was magical. I will definitely be back and would recommend this for everyone. The staff at the Makani Sands were so lovely as well. Cheers and Mahalo.

  Joslyn M from Los Angeles, CA recommends this vacation rental

  If you’re thinking of renting this property and you don’t want the hustle and bustle of a resort, don’t think again - just book it. Here’s my list of pros and cons for the property, where my husband and I stayed for a week, and let me say the pros heavily outweigh the cons.
  Cons:
  - there was construction next door; and it was EARLY. 6:45am on weekdays is when the jackhammering would start. However, the ocean waves were still louder and the construction noise lasted no more than 20-30 min each day. Annoying, but not a dealbreaker.
  - people in this building are up early! And talking at full volume early! The thing is, everyone is up at 6:30ish due to the sun and the fact that we’re all on time zones later than Hawaii time, so it’s not a big deal. But many mornings we’d be groggy drinking our tea on the lanai and a neighbor on the main level would be chatting up a storm with a neighbor on a lanai. Kinda snaps you out of your trance.
  - the bedroom does get stuffy at night. You can’t have the shutters open because it gets loud with street traffic and roosters, and because that leaves you no privacy at all since the walkway is right outside the bedroom, so you have to close them at night which makes it v stuffy. I woke up sweaty many nights.
  
  Pros:
  - so cozy. So peaceful. So comfy. The vicinity to the beach is AMAZING. It’s right there. We left the lanai door open the whole time and constantly listened to the waves calm us down. It was heavenly.
  - the location is amazing. Off the busy street, not near resorts, but close to grocery stores and a public beach park and all the necessities you could need.
  - the people are so friendly. We met Julie in #303 and she welcomed us and gave us tips on how to see the eels (!) along the beach! So many nice and friendly people embodying the aloha spirit.
  - you will not go wrong booking this unit. It’s worth every penny. I&#x201

  This was my 5th visit to Maui. The ocean view was much better than pictures posted on the site. I came to Maui just after reopened for domestic visitors who got full Covid-19 shots, so I did not think there were many visitors. The Makani Sands (MS) were not fully booked, so it was very quiet. Location of MS was good too because I was able to walk to beautiful beaches (Napili, Kapalua, Kaanapali, etc.), food market and abc store. People staying at MS kept rules well and office staffs were very kind. All necessary items were prepared completely in the room. I will definitely come back to MS in the near future. Mahalo!!

  Everything about this condo was amazing. The view. The accommodations. The bed is what allowed me to relax and have a good night sleep that I so needed. The sun shade on the lanai kept it cooler at night for us. And I can't forget our friends (honu) that came to see us everyday. Even though it was late in the season we were still able to see some whales from the lanai. Thanks Makani Sands for another memorable vacation.

Well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, in-suite laundry, wifi, nice tile floors throughout also carry onto the lanai. Gorgeous sunsets every night and good snorkeling right in front of condo. Loved to hear the sound of the waves and watch the honu swim out front. Although no a/c the trade winds blowing through the condo keep things very comfortable. Managers are super friendly and helpful. Gardens on the property were outstanding. If you want oceanfront this property will not disappoint. Can’t wait to visit again!

  Sheila B from Fair Oaks, Ca recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first time to stay at Makani Sands. We rented #203 in mid January. The moment we walked in to the condo we were blown away by the view from the lanai; this condo is right on the ocean. We could see two other islands (Lanai, Molokai), and observe whales, dolphins and sea turtles swimming by. The condo was beautifully decorated and recently updated in Hawaiian décor with a theme for sea turtles which is so appropriate as I saw 6 swim by the first day we were there! The condo was clean and stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was plenty spacious enough for 2-3 people. Nearby is the Farmers market with fresh local produce, jams, bread, etc. and a wonderful fish market with fresh catches each day. Whalers Village is also close for excellent shopping. The place is well maintained and the caretaker was a wealth of knowledge on the sea life, the ocean and local customs. We really never wanted to leave our place; whale watched all day, sunned ourselves and barbecued seafood every night as the sun set. We have already booked next year. Aloha!

  A wonderful place to rest, relax and enjoy - all with a wonderful view of the ocean and the sound of waves lull you to sleep! And, your own beach steps away.

  a guest from Maple Grove, MN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This was a pleasant beachfront condo in the Lahaina area near many attractions and restaurants. The condo was found to be very clean and included amenities necessary for a short stay. We arrived during high surf and the beach was practically unusable. The waves were very high and splashing above the deck area. Very pretty but if you want a beachy area I would look further. Another problem there is no AC and it was very warm when we stayed end of March. No breeze, no crosswinds to cool off condo. The bedroom is located in the front of the condo and mornings can be very noisy with traffic outside. If you are one that sleeps in past 7AM, again, I would suggest you search further.
  Unfortunately, we had a family emergency and had to leave the 2nd day of a 5 day stay. We informed the office Wenesday AM, 3/29/17, and were completely taken aback by the women in the office, She quickly advised us there would be no refund; they never give refunds. Absolutely no compassion for our situation!
  She was downright rude! We didn't really expect a refund but thought they would suggest trying to re-rent the condo and afford us some type of credit. Surprisingly, the Airline and Car Rental Agency were more sympathetic and gave us credit for days unused. We were totally disappointed in the way she handled the situation. Bert, the property manager, did show compassion and was sympathetic to our situation. Maybe the woman in the office could take a lesson from him.
  All in all, the property is nice and quite inexpensive for Hawaii. But do not look for luxury that you would find in a higher end condo or hotel.

  We love going to this condo location. These units are right on the ocean front with a small beach for the turtles to rest on until the next high tide.

  We had an excellent experience. We called several times to make changes and get updates. We were welcomed very nicely by the staff. We love it here as this is our 3rd stay at Makani Sands. If we get to Maui again we will return.

  We enjoyed this location and the property so much, we plan to return to Makani Sands on our next trip. It's clean and comfortable and we like the beach town feel of Lahaina. Mahalo to staff, Marie and Burt, for adding to the experience!
  Hope to see you again soon!

  A lot of fleas from first day we arrived. No cleaning service, like other condo's offers, not a swimming beach- sharp underwater stones, we had to drive to different beach. Rude management. We were dissatisfied (1).

  9 Days. Nice accommodations, with an excellent view. I was aware that the beach was limited, but it turned out to be very swimable and folks of all ages were using it most days. Not sure it that is related to the time of year (June). Resort has a great pool on garden side of the development if the surf is a bit rough. Room had been updated, and was very comfortable with everything you would need for cooking and cocktails. Small complaint, we were there for 9 days; no maid service included till two weeks. Seemed a bit on cheap. Initially had to do some re-cleaning of kitchen items. But this was a small thing when compared to the view and comfort provided by the resort and staff. These are not high end condo's like Kapulua, but they are clean, nicely updated and all the comforts of home.

  We really enjoyed 203 it was very up to date and decorated nicely it was very comfortable. Everything was in working order. Burt the maintenance man is very hard working and friendly and helpful. It was a good price for being right on the ocean. It made the trip to Hawaii affordable and able to stay longer.

  It has been 15 years since we were there but it was our 5th visit. We have no interest in looking ar other properties because Makani Sands just feels right for us. Now that we are both retired we are going to consider an extended stay.

  We had an absolutely fantastic holiday at the Makani Sands!! The condo was exceptional!! It was very well kept and appointed. The location was exactly right for us. All the amenities needed for a home away from home. The staff was always very friendly and helpful with any questions or concerns. Everything about Makani Sands helped make our vacation truly memorable!! The only thing we found was that our king size bed was a bit too firm for our taste. We will certainly be recommending this property to all our friends and family as the best place to stay in Maui.

  Dale & Randy R from Springfield, OR recommends this vacation rental

  Our first time staying at Makani Sands. We are familiar with the ocean front condo area and enjoy it very much. Unit #203 has a nicely updated kitchen and bathroom. Tile floors throughout are nice. No damp feeling carpet with the humidity we experienced.
  Kitchen is well equipped and there were sufficient spices to use. Loved the Belgian waffle maker.
  Bathroom needs a little more light. Found it a little difficult for shaving and makeup application. Nice walkin shower and counter space.
  Washer and dryer in the room is a plus. Also nice to have an elevator to haul golf clubs up.
  Would stay here again.
