  Makani Sands is simply the best place to stay in Honokauai. We have stayed there 12 times and never been disappointed. You have a front row seat to watch the humpback whales from your lanai during the winter months. Will definately be back again!

  Jean J from SAINT PAUL, Minnesota recommends this vacation rental

  I have stayed in unit #209 at Makani Sands 3 times. I love watching whales from the lanai. The direct oceanfront view is breathtaking. The location of the resort in Honokowai is quiet and peaceful. It is a short walk to Times Supermarket, a food truck park, Bad *** Coffee, Kaanapali Beach, and the world's best cinnamon rolls at Papi's Ohana. The unit is very clean and well maintained with everything you need, including a cooler and gel freezer packs, which I used daily. Tammi and Debbie at the front desk are always eager to help. If I could make one improvement to this unit I would get different furniture for the lanai. The chairs are okay for eating a meal but not comfortable for sitting any length of time.

  We stayed in this unit again this year and, once again, loved every minute. The view of Lanai and Molokai is priceless and we enjoyed watching whales from our Lanai. This unit is well equipped, including a cooler and Ice packs in the freezer. The sofa bed and king bed are both comfortable. Love the new washer and dryer in this unit. And the exhaust fan in the bathroom even works great (in so many places that is not true). There is a wonderful breeze that flows from the front to the back of this unit so no air conditioning is needed. Also love the power screen that lowers to shield the lanai from the west sun in the afternoon. The management at Makani Sands is on top of everything and very responsive. Can't wait to return.

  Jean J from SAINT PAUL, Minnesota recommends this vacation rental

  I have stayed at many of the condo resorts along this stretch in Honokowai and Makani Sands is my favorite. It is a small building and beautifully maintained inside and out. Tammy and Debbie, the managers, make you feel like you are part of the Makani Sands family. I loved having the door to our lanai open with the breeze blowing through, lights on, TV on, and a box of macademia chocolates waiting in the refrigerator when we checked in. Unit 209 is very well maintained. I found the sofa bed to be comfortable for the 9 days that I slept on it and my friend said the bed was wonderful. If you love watching whales, go during whale season--January to March--and you will see them from this lanai. I immediately booked this unit again for next year. This unit books up fast, so don't hesitate long. While this is absolutely a 5 star review, I do wish that the lanai had some kind of chairs other than the tall ones for the table because we found those chairs to be fine for eating but uncomfortable for sitting any length of time.

  Michele M from Avon, CO recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed in Unit 209. The unit was very clean. The view is amazing. There is a small beach where you can swim and snorkel. It is within walking distance (about 15 minutes) to shops,restaurants and a grocery store. There is no air conditioning so you want to keep your windows open. However the bedroom is situated where people walk so you may want to bring earplugs. I slept on the sofa bed. Let the rental property know if you are going to use the sofa bed and request clean and washed sheets. I asked about extra bedding before I arrived and there was a package of new sheets (still in the package) They smelled really bad so I needed to wash the sheets before I slept on them (late at night) Also the sofa bed could use an extra foam topper to make it super comfortable. Wifi was spotty in the bedroom but fine out in the living room. Communication with Tammy was easy. I definitely would stay again.

  It was fantastic. Makani Sands is truly a unique place. The Ocean is so close, and we can can see sea turtles, dolphin, and great sunsets from our lanai. Our place was pretty well stocked, and we cooked a lot of food. My only complaint (my pet peeve) is the kitchen knives were dull.

  This condo truly exceeded all of our expectations. It was exactly as described and looks even better in person than in the photos. The pictures give you an idea, but walking in and feeling the breeze through the condo and hearing the waves crash upon the shore was a truly remarkable first impression. I experienced no issues while I was here and the condo was well equipped for all of my needs. Going through the overview book of the condo can make the rules seem overwhelming, but they are not unreasonable. They clearly explain the conduct expected from their guests, which I think helps create a peaceful and well run complex. 10/10, would stay again.

  Great as always, wish there was a Jacuzzi instead of a pool, no use for a pool when the ocean is right there but a Hot Jacuzzi would be great in the evenings.

  Love location and we will be back. Felt hallways and property could have been more manicured/cleaned. Was very warm while we were there. Unit 209 does not have air conditioning. We would have used it to sleep. Surprising in this day and age. Dishwasher looked like just tucked in. Felt like condo was just mediocre. Love the location. We have stayed in much nicer units. Was a little disappointed

  Our visit was Sept 28 to Oct 2. The property manager was very friendly, confirmed our reservation, and answered all our questions. The rental unit was welcoming - we felt right at home immediately. Every amenity we needed was available. The property is conveniently located a very short drive from Kapalua airport, and is walking distance to local shopping, restaurants, and a supermarket. Thoroughly enjoyed the beach, watching the sea turtles, patio area, and swimming pool. Would definitely recommend!

  Terry S from Los Alamitos, CA. recommends this vacation rental

  This was our 2nd stay at Makani Sands, we were there 17 years ago with our daughter and family. We loved it so much we wanted to stay in the same location. we traveled with our daughter and family again but they stayed at another Hotel. They were at our place practically all the time. we had the best views,beach access, turtle sightings, location and lots of options. We had everything we needed in the well equipped unit. we could BBQ or cook in or just hang out and play games . we will always stay at Makani Sands when we come there. The staff there was amazing and so helpful. Any information we needed they could supply. We highly recommend anyone to spend their vacation there. Oh, forgot to mention AFFORDABLE for most.

  a guest from Chula Vista, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We loved our stay at Makani Sands. The ocean is so close that you could hear the waves. There is no air conditioning, but there are plenty of fans plus a regular ocean breeze which kept the unit comfortable. Sea turtles come out and nap on the beach at night. This was an awesome treat to see. The unit was well stocked with unexpected items like snorkel equipment and a beach bag as well as plenty of kitchen equipment, spices, and even olive oil. We were quite happy here.

  Our stay at Makani Sands was wonderful. What a special place! Swimming and snorkeling in the ocean right out in front of our rental was an amazing opportunity. Seeing glorious sunsets in the evening and beautiful rainbows in the early morning was exceptional! The location was perfect, close to many other Maui spots to explore.

  Jamia B from Bellingham, WA recommends this vacation rental

  The view from the lanai is breathtaking. The unit was updated and very comfortable. We left the sliding doors open at night to listen to the waves. The complex is small, so you get to know other vacationers. The staff is super friendly. We had a few visits from large sea turtles, who like to nap on the beach. My favorite place in Maui.

  Our stay at the Makani Sands and in unit #209 was wonderful. The upclose and personal view was magical. The first impression upon opening the door and walking in was, "OMG, Oh My Gosh"! The location was terrific for walking to grocery, coffee and shopping. The office staff and Bert, in maintenance, were very, very helpful and accomodating. NO bad things to say! The unit was super clean and updated very nicely.

  a guest from Granger, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great stay in unit 209 as Makani Sands. The view was incredible and unit was very clean & well equipped. The only negative feedback I would have is regarding the pool. It's a small, unheated pool on the back of the property that's mediocre. Instead of using the pool we just visited the many beaches of Maui instead. I would definitely recommend this unit as well as stay in it again.

  The location so close to the water was wonderful and our unit was updated and comfortable. I can see the lure of a ground floor unit for access to the waterfront and shade, but the privacy and view from our lanai above was great. Friendly and low-key neighbors.
