E Komo Mai! Welcome to our Maui home! In the Hawaiian spirit of ho’okipa (hospitality), we invite you to enjoy our newly remodeled home in paradise and the beautiful oceanfront grounds of Maui Sands.
Much thought and care has gone into making our condo a perfect home-base for discovering the beauty and mysteries of Hawaii. From the comfortable king-size bed and rock-tile shower to the plasma tv and fully equipped granite kitchen, you will feel pampered and care-free. Our garden-view lanai even features a sneak peek at the ocean, and only steps from our front door you can access an ocean-front deck with spectacular views of Molokai. Free WiFi and an in-unit washer/dryer add to the conveniences, and we are one of the few owners to use a professional cleaning company to ensure that our condo is beautifully prepared on-time for your arrival. Our condo is the perfect place for a couple to relax and reflect, with tropical adventures within easy walking or driving distance.
Maui Sands is a true West Maui gem—a low-rise, “Old Hawaii” complex featuring lush tropical grounds, reportedly the largest stand of coconut palms on Maui, an inviting pool, and gorgeous ocean-front views of Lana'i and Moloka'i. Located in the Honokowai neighborhood between Ka'anapali and Napili/Kapalua, Maui Sands is across the street from the popular Okazuya Deli (the best take-out on Maui), a fresh fish market, and many other conveniences. A farmers market (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), natural food store, ABC store, and large supermarket are all within a five minute walk of our condo.
Here are some comments from our guestbook: "We loved the condo. Very comfortable--a real home away from home." "We had a great 'babymoon' in your condo. Super nice and close to everything!" " What can we say: The Best!" "We loved the condo--you think of all the details." "Thank you for this little treasure by the ocean. I really appreciated all the comforts of home and beautiful decor."
Our rates are reasonable and uncomplicated. The all-inclusive nightly rate now includes: free WiFi, free parking, free domestic U.S. calls, high quality linens, and cleaning upon departure. There are no extra fees or surprises. We believe that a trip to Hawaii can be affordable, while still elegant. We invite you to share the magic of our special spot in paradise! A hui hou!

Great Value Condo

This property is a great value.It was exactly as depicted in VRBO listing. I have never been to Maui, and I knew I did not want another hi-rise. This was an older building, but the grounds were immaculate and it had a nice size pool. It was in a great location, and we loved it. The condo was homey and comfortable, all that we could of wanted. No glitz, no big flashy place, but perfect for us. Lots of little extras. Great remodel!! My husband loved the recliner. Nice to have an easily accessible parking area. We give it two thumbs up. Thanks Tracy and Claire. Much appreciated Tom and Linda

Excellent Interior and Perfect Location, Not Great Views

We LOVED our recent 5 night stay at this property. The interior has been recently renovated and upgraded to include every amenity you can think of. This condo was as close to "home" as we could ever hope for and definitely deserving of 5 stars in this regard. The "ant problem" that some have mentioned is true of just about every location in West Maui. Yes, there are ants in Hawaii. We stayed on the 5th floor of a luxury hotel in Kaanapali one Summer and had a MUCH worse time with them than we did this trip. Of course, it was July so that is to be expected. My advice to anyone staying here: Use the tools the owners have given you to make your stay more pleasant. 1. Take out your garbage. 2. Store opened food in the fridge. 3. Don't spray, bait. There are bottles of Terro ant bait in the cupboard. Place a few drops on a few pieces of paper and place them in the corners of the kitchen and bathroom; anywhere you see ants that people won't accidentally step on them. Ants will swarm for the first day or two on the locations and then suddenly dissapear completely. Worked perfectly for us. No more hassle after that. Now, why not 5 stars? While we LOVED the interior, we weren't thrilled with the apartment exterior or the proximity to beach views/access. The exterior reminded us of some of our college apartments we lived in; two story brick numbers with fairly standard windows/stairs, etc. The property doesn't have a beach directly off of it, but there is one down the road a bit, just not the greatest in the area. We didn't have our son with us so it wasn't a big deal to get in the car every time we wanted to go watch a sunset or swim at the beach, but we did find ourselves making that trip a lot more than if we had been right on a beach or been able to see the ocean from the patio. While the communal decks are accessible, there's just something special about having your back patio open right out to the ocean that you come to expect in Maui. However, the price perfectly reflects this inconvenience and the ad is in no way misleading so I still give the property a solid 4 out of 5. Again, we LOVED our stay and if it's just the two of us going to Maui again, we'll definitely consider this location again. Kurt and Rachel

Right away we fell in love with your "home away from home" feel. My hubby had us running all over Maui and I just wanted to get "home" to our little beach! Thank you so much for providing a great little piece of heaven. We gained a lot of memories and pictures here and give you thanks fo rmaking our trip easier--we had everything one would need. Mahalo again!

Thanks so much for the use of your beautiful condo. My wife and I had a wonderful time in Maui. Highlights were visiting the Olivine Pools, snorkeling at Honolua Bay, and walking the bamboo forest on the road to Hana. Oh--and of course--the beautiful sunsets from your back deck! Each night was completely different and seemed more amazing than the one before. We hope to come back soon!

We really enjoyed this fabulous condo! Easy access to the beach and all the upgrades make this place very comfortable and pleasant. It is stocked with everything one needs for a home base to explore beautiful paradise. We hate to leave and feel sad that our time is ending, but we will always have a piece of this island and your awesome condo in our hearts and mind. Thank you so much for the hospitality and we hope to visit again soon!

We just returned from Maui on March 31, and we are still pining for the island, the fresh pineapples and our accomodation. After a hectic time getting to the island, we opened the door of this lovely apartment we knew we made a great choice. After what has been a stressful year for us, it was a pleasure to discover this property, where we could go after a day exploring the island and just relax. The property is exactly as seen in the photos, so there were no surprises. It was also very clean, and the owners were very diligent with keeping in touch with us prior to our arrival. It was seamles. I would definitely recommend this property to others. The bed is king sized, and very comfortable. We enjoyed falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the ocean. The kitchen is well stocked with everything that a person would need to cook a meal, including some spices. We even left a couple of our own behind. We barbecued more than once at the communal barbecues, and had breakfast at "home" every morning before venturing out for the day. There is a grocery store close by, where we were always picking up things, including lots of Maui Gold pineapples ... we miss those ... did I mention that?? While there is no ocean view from the lanai of this unit, we enjoyed coming back in the late afternoon to sit and enjoy a drink and relive the day, watching the birds and admiring the flowers and listening to the ocean. The lanai has a lovely table and chairs. Another bonus was that there were beach chairs, some mats and a boogie board available to use, as well as a small cooler. We also recommend Duke's Beach House for dinner out. We tend to travel to places we've never been before, but the idea of coming back to Maui for another holiday is certainly in our minds. If we do, we know where we will be staying! Aloha and Mahalo,
