  Overall, the value was great! On the beach, beautiful views, and large space!
  Pros:
  Location
  Beach views - amazing
  Well appointed with extras like beach chairs, snorkel gear and beach cooler
  Lovely kitchen and bathroom
  Cons:
  Sheets didn't fit bed well - way too big
  Broken lamp upon entering unit (turning knob)
  No A/C although there IS an A/C unit installed in both the living room and bedroom. (It got VERY hot, as we were there in July.)
  No condiments or "extras" such as salt and pepper shakers, cooking oil, coffee (!!!!), coffee filters (!!!!), spices, etc.

  Makani Sands unit 205 was perfect ! New, up to date, beach vibe furnishings, everything you need to be at home during your stay and THE VIEW ! Whales , turtles, boats, Lanai and Molokai all day ! The pool is nice too. Deep enough to tread water and long enough for laps ! The whole facility is well kept and clean
  And the staff is top notch !

  a guest from East Wenatchee, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed in Unit 205 and had a wonderful experience. The unit was clean and well stocked with everything we needed including beach towels, a soft sided cooler which was perfect for our days at the beach and beach chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed and everything was sparkling clean! The view from the lanai was truly incredible. We could see turtles swimming in the clear water and the whales entertained us constantly. There is a coffee shop just a short walk away which was fun to go to in the morning and a grocery store a short drive away for anything we needed. We will definitely return to this complex in the future!

  John G from Camdenton, MO recommends this vacation rental

  In spite of the excessive heat we enjoyed our recent visit to Maui. The condo was recently redecorated which made a great first impression but we were a little disappointed that the comfortable looking furniture in the VRBO photos had been replaced with stylish but very uncomfortable replacements. Given that and the heat we never seemed able to sit comfortably and unwind after a long day of exploring all that Maui has to offer. The bed was quite comfortable and the bathroom nicely updated. AC is a much needed addition, and perhaps an additional ceiling fan in the living area. The condo was adequately furnished for preparing meals and the lanai provided the view of a lifetime. The pool was beautiful and well maintained. Having a swimmable beach at your back door was an added bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to book this condo again at a cooler time of year or if AC is added.

  • Manager Responded on 1/11/2020

  This is by far one of the best places we've stayed in Maui. The views were postcards and the place was located in a quiet, less populated place in paradise. In contrast when we snorkeled at Black Rock with the crowds, this place was a breath of fresh air. Marie, the innkeeper was extremely cordial. We would stay here again anytime. Everyone was friendly and our stay was perfect. Great kitchen and condo.

  This was one of the best vacations we have taking and thats something huge for a couple that travels a lot. I rated the overall stay a 4 stars because of the window in the bedroom. This window is open all the time and just covered with a screen and blind so you can hear everything and everyone can hear you. Being a couple in Maui for there 1 year Anniversary this was the only bad part of the trip. Location perfect: best view, everyday we saw whales, turles and people paddle boarding. Please make sure to do the Atlantic Submarine and travel the Road to Hana. The nice lady at the front office gave us a cd that help along the journey.
