We loved everything about our stay, the views were amazing, condo was stocked with everything we needed. I look forward to another stay here in the future!!
The place is a great location, walking distance to so much. The view from the balconyâs are amazing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely, will recommend to friends and family and we will stay here again!
Amazing views of the beach and ocean. So close to the surf it was like being in our own little cabana but with the option of the porch or right inside. 10-15 minutes walking from food/stores, most of thr beaches also within 15 minutes that we we t to. Lots of turles swimming our little cove, good snorkling or jiat bobbing in the surf. Would love to stay longer and if we get the chance to come back. Older condo, and it looks like DYI on some of the bathroom updates, but all functional, very clean, very comfortable and very reponsive supervisors. Stocked kitchen. Lots of towels. Extra blankets and pillows and air worked fine.
What an absolutely beautiful location. We enjoyed watching the whales from the two lanais and hearing the ocean waves at night.Being a corner unit, we had more light and better views from the lanais. The building is conveniently located within walking distance to a beach park and coffee shops and restaurants.
Makani Sands is a well-maintained property located right on the beach but close to a variety of restaurants and shops and just down the road from the largest of the Lahaina area resorts. The property managers are considerate and professional and insured a comfortable stay for us. Our unit was clean, everything worked, and had a great view of the ocean where we watched the turtles swim by and whales breaching daily.
Condo is in a great location with wonderful views of the ocean. Property manager was excellent. She made check in and check out easy. Pool area and ocean front deck were perfect for enjoying the sunshine. Condo had everything we needed but could use some updating.

great location with wonderful guests
The place was amazing. The keys we were originally given were totally different keys once they got replaced. My only complaint is the person who cleans the cement at 6am every day. He uses a metal shovel to scrape sand up and move furniture around. Maybe change that to a later time?
Great to look out on the water and see turtles playing in the surf! The condo was clean and the a/c worked well, but the place could be updated (a bit dingy) and there was an electrical glitch in one of the bedrooms. Overall, a wonderful vacation.

Maui rental
We loved our stay at Makani Sands! Yes the unit is a bit dated but everything was great. Nice big lanais with beautiful views. Enough space for our 4 adults & 2 kids without feeling cramped. My kids loved the pool! Provided snorkel gear was a bonus too. Snorkeling right out back was awesome, lots of turtles! Would definitely stay again!

My family had a wonderful stay! Plenty of space for a large family and stocked with pretty much everything youâll need. The condo itself is oceanfront and we enjoyed watching the sea turtles all day everyday. We were also able to see humpback whales from our balconies and that was dreamy! Thereâs a clean pool for fun down time and shops, grocery stores, coffee, and some restaurants are a short walk away. It was the perfect place for our family; you wonât regret it!
This was a family trip to celebrate our sonâs college graduation and each of our adult children had their significant other so we were a group of 6. We loved snorkeling right off the beach and enjoyed the waves crashing at night while we sat on the porch overlooking the ocean. We also loved the location with access to many beaches where our son could surf and we could snorkel and we enjoyed being close to many restaurants and close to the grocery store. It really was a perfect place to stay and we would love to come back !!

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. If we needed anything Tammy was prompt to respond. The views from the lanai were magnificent. We enjoyed snorkeling right off the property and saw several fish and even turtles swimming around. Although it didnât have a sandy beach there are several options within a few minutes driving if you are looking for that. We would definitely stay here again.
Great Location ! Ocean about 15 yards away. Enjoyed the 3 bedroom ocean front rental. Close to coffee shops, cafes and walking distance to the food trucks. The turtles pass through the water in front of our condo and see them clearly from the lanai, snorkeled with the turtles in front of our condo. Apartment is a little dated but very comfortable. Manager Tammy and Debbie were responsive to our needs and allowed us a little later checkout at 12:30 pm.
I feel it offers great value to a family like us with 6 adults
Mahalo !

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay in unit #301 in Makani Sands. Everything was as pictured, and the unit was very clean, but the decor could use some updating. The close proximity to the water is amazing! We would stay there again in the future.

incredible views from the double Lanai, rainbows, whales, air conditioned comfort, well stocked unit, everything you need! Nice, shallow water although the beach itself is gone. Access is difficult, need to improve steps which no longer go down to the water., hence 4 stars.
Front row seats to watching the whales and turtles right from the oceanside decks! The unit was clean and well-stocked with sheets, fluffy towels, and household items. A few items need repair, but we were very comfortable and happy. Walk to coffee shop, farmers market, and fish market. Supermarket a mile away. The bedrooms facing the street are a little noisy in the morning (traffic, roosters), but we got used to it after the first night. It was a great homebase location for our activities and day trips. We would come back!

Our family of six adults stayed in #301. It is just the right size. Everything was in great shape and we had a wonderful time. We like the updates made to the sea wall and the steps down to the ocean. We enjoyed waking each morning and watching the whales from our balcony. This is our second time staying at Makani Sands and each time was great.
