  Paul and Dawn L from Oak Harbor, Washington recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our 3 night stay in #302 ...we chose this 3 bedroom because family joined us for our 25th anniversary celebration. We are Makani Sands regulars, however, we usually travel as a couple and stay in a 1 bedroom condo. The art work throughout #302 is awesome ...I discovered new items each day! Also, I love to cook ...what an incredible collection of kitchen ware that must have been accumulated over many years of ownership! Mahalo to the owners of #302!

  Kimber D from Hurricane, UT recommends this vacation rental

  My family and I loved staying here. The best part was just sitting in the Lanai and watching the Sea Turtles and Whales. The ocean was pretty rough and foggy for snorkeling, but we loved swimming in the pool and really loved all of the art in every book and cranny of this place! The only thing that was tricky for my group of seven is that there was really no place to put our stuff--no cabinet or counter space without moving things around. Overall though we were comfortable and happy and would recommend this spot to other guests!

  My Ohana (family) flew to Maui from neighbor islands and the continent to attend a very special event. This temporary home away from home provided the perfect place for us. The decor is beyond what we could have imagined. The location is steps to the ocean. The simplicty of access to the condo and the check out process was so appreciated. The notebook of expectations was informative. I'm already making plans to return because my Ohana enjoyed themselves so much! Mahalo nui loa!

  Many good things - some, not so much....
  Location a little inconvenient as far as access to eating and shops - right on the beach which was WONDERFUL!! Kitchen fully stocked with dishes spices etc but tiny ants around the sink area (they didn't bug me that much but might bother some) - one bedroom on the main floor which is awesome but only a powder bath next to it and other full bathrooms are upstairs - which was fine but there was no room or shelves etc to put stuff in the powder bath for those using it to get ready in. Patio was way overcrowded with furniture and hard to move around...
  Overall it was a nice stay....

  a guest from San Dimas, CA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The perks of staying at this property was you had your own private beach. Due to recent storms the beach is gone and you are not able to access the water. The description of the property should be updated as the owner is not advising that the beach area is gone and the pictures should be taken down that show you have this private beach. Also the condo had an infestation with roaches and ants and the furniture is old and worn and the roof was leaking and issues with the plumbing.

  • Manager Responded on 4/29/2022

    Aloha Alicia, Thank you for your review. We are aware of the recent storms but you can still access the water by using the stairs next door at Kalialoha. We spray for pests quarterly and have had no other guests say anything about roaches or ants. The only plumbing problem you reported to management was when you overflowed the toilet in the master bathroom. I am sorry you were not happy with your accommodations. Mahalo, Tammy

  Steve Daisy G from DAYTON, NV recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I took our son, his wife and their daughter to Maui for a week, so needed a larger condo. We have stayed in 302 before, and knew it would be perfect. The granddaughter had her own room & bathroom, and the son & wife also had a full bath & bedroom to themselves. My wife and I took the master suite & bathroom.
  Kitchen is large & very well stocked, and the 3 lanai make it easy to eat together or enjoy coffee or reading alone.
  Location is RIGHT above the surf... A key for us when choosing.
  Pool is comfy and lightly used, so fun for the family too.
  The decor is very 'Hawaiian' and just lovely. Lots of paintings, sculptures, tiles, and other decor pieces.

  The views and location are amazing. The condo is a good size but it felt very cluttered. We did not like the shower in the main bedroom. It can be difficult to get in and out safely. A/C was nice.

  We stayed here with another couple, and one other friend (five total). There was more than enough room for the five of us to feel comfortable and for the apartment to feel roomy. The master bedroom is phenomenal - with a huge ensuite, a huge bed, and a nice balcony. The lower balcony could seat all of us (plus one or two more if needed!) for dinner, and is right over the water. The area below is swimable and we saw so many honu!! Every morning we’d see at least 2, right along the rock wall. You could easily walk to other accessible beaches, there’s a grocery store within walking distance and some food trucks, and restaurants. We absolutely loved our stay!!

  We had the pleasure of renting a unit at the Makani Sands as our destination to celebrate our daughter and her best friend as they completed their very successful sports and a high school experiences. The layout was great for two families with the office as the girls room and the adults upstairs. It was fabulous to be able to grill on the patio by the water, snorkel and play around the sea turtles that were right at the sea wall. The location is great with other beaches, grocery and farmers market within walking distance. The staff was very helpful with ideas for the week. We look forward to another visit to the Makani Sands!

  The view from the condo was great, however, we experienced a number of maintenance items during our stay. We had ants everyday, bathroom sinks were clogged up, air conditioning didn't work well for the first 2 days of our stay and the lanai door latch didn't work at all. Condo is very cluttered with too much furniture, statues, pictures etc. Mgmt staff was responsive but had to order parts, some of which did not come in while we were there. This could be a good vacation unit with a little more attention to it by the owner.

  I love makani sands but there some problems with the cond that were some basic problems this time- we have been in this condo 3x. The couch in the living are is very uncomfortable to sit on as the cushions separate and you sit on metal. There is no functional can opener which is ridiculous. For whatever reason the condo was not as clean as it should be. From day 1 our bare feet got dirty walking on the tile and the rug in the living room felt disgusting it was so dirty! The staff is great the location is great but for the for the
  Price a few things need to change. Also there is no handle to open the fridge which is a hassle. However I am staying here but in a different condo next year

The furniture and rugs were not clean, there was too many chairs and table on the lanai, the blender leaked and the downstairs bedroom fan would not shut off. . it was nice to be on the ocean and location is close to markets and other beaches.

  Dan H W from Bothell, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful time at the Makani Sands and the location made it a quick walk to the park and farmers market. Also a 10 minute drive to Napili bay where you can snorkel wth the turtles. There is even snorkeling out front and the Turtles do come to sleep at nght n front of the Bulkhead. Unit 304 is beautiful appointed wth local are, that we were a little nervos wth the 3 and 1 year old Gandchildren, but all worked out fine. views were wonderful and the staff was great. One recommendation for owner would be to add a small dresser to the 2 other bedrooms for clothing.

  a guest from Sydney, Australia recommends this vacation rental

  Our apartment was in a fabulous location- you right on the ocean. Turtles were in the water just out teh front & you could snorkel. It was in a great location in terms of access to Lahaina other towns. The only thing we found hard was the amount of clutter in the apartment, it would have been nier to have less ornaments, but otherwise was fine. The management company were really helpful & great communicators.

  a guest from Spring, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Very nice to so close to the beach and listen to the surf. Watched turtles every day. Kitchen was supplied with all needed utensils. Binoculars would have been nice, forgot ours. Older unit but was very nicely furnished and decorated. The girls in the office and Bert were all very helpful with any questions we asked. Our five siblings would stay again.

  Rickie R from Ocoee , FL does not recommend this vacation rental.

  When we arrived it was a bad experience from the start the A/C bairley worked the toilets were cloged up and the sliding glass door to the balcony did not open the grills on the deck did not work until the last night we thier to be able to cook. It felt like a fifty five and up community. I spent a half day of my vacation waiting on a repair man for the sliding doors. As well as A/C there is no reason this unit should have been rented in this condition I recommend no one stays at this complex ever it was the biggest waste of money there are so many other nicer places around with stuff that works the people that live there full time are not friendly at all after the first night I considered trying to find another place to stay unfortunately I could not find one. 0 stars

  Wonderful location. Perfect accommodations for us. Not for your standard beach laying out vacation. Great for snorkling, boogie-boarding, etc. Good water sports.

  Heather B from Blackfalds, Alberta recommends this vacation rental

  Well, we are booked in again for our next trip so that must say something right there. My family of 3 and our sister in law, husband and daughter stayed in February. Loved the place!!! The room was great, equipped with anything you really need. We hit up costco and ate most meals there. We used the BBQ's every night so that was awesome. The staff were so friendly, we loved the grounds keeper. Snorkeled a lot right in front of the place and got to swim with a huge turtle...life changing for me!!! Thank you for the great stay. Look forward to coming back in a few months

  a guest from Redwood City, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our time here, but the property is showing its age.
  
  We had problems with two of the three bathrooms while we were here, and the elevator was out of service for a day. The operation of the A/C is totally bizarre, including setting timers and making sure every door in the unit is closed just exactly right or the AC won't engage.
  
  Also the property is not really oceanfront, it's actually *in* the ocean. There's about a foot or less of sand, and that's at low tide. It certainly doesn't look like the beach on their brochure.
  
  That being said the property manager Roseanna is lovely and quite helpful, and the onsite maintenance guy Bert is just wonderful. They do an outstanding job of helping guests as much as they can.

  Rachel S from Delta, BC does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The location of Makani Sands is great - close to Kaanapali Beach and other areas. The unit has plenty of room for 5-6 people. Living room sofa is large and comfortable. The main floor lanai is great for enjoying the sunset with drinks and dinner. Grounds are very well maintained and onsite management was great (Bert).
  
  The unit itself is in need of some serious maintenance:
  1) there is an ant infestation in the kitchen and bathroom areas
  2) some doors do not close properly
  3) both upstairs bedrooms are missing parts of the blinds, including sections that provide privacy from the street when changing
  5) the unit could use a few more beach chairs (the two available are in rough shape)
  6) in-room safe not working
  
  For the amount of money paid to stay at this unit, we were a bit disappointed....
  
  one last note - what's with the weird looking orb in the living room?

  Paul H from Chicago, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We arrived in Maui (2nd time) and were excited to see where the condo is located. Great shops, coffee (Bad *** coffee is right there - favorite place in the world), etc. Condo is a good size for my wife and I, 2 kids (trundle beds were adequate for small kids) and mother-in-law in the guest bedroom upstairs. We were hesitant about kids downstairs and us up, but it wasn't an issue. There are PLENTY of dishes, etc. and the appliances (toaster, stove, micro, oven, coffee maker, etc.) were just fine. The beds are very comfortable. It needs some touch-ups and fixes, but overall well appointed. The view - AMAZING. Pool, nice and warm for the kids. Beach was good in the a.m. (tide wiped out in p.m.) and lots of turtle watching (swam by 10 yards out every day). The only problem, and it is a big one, is A-N-T-S. There were thousands of them, literally and some even made it home with us in our luggage as we feared. We asked about it and they offered to spray, but we had kids. They really need to do something about it. I know it's the tropics, etc., but we had others staying in other condos down the road and nobody had any problem. We'd love to be back, but need the condos to be pest free.
