This 2700 sq ft penthouse condo is as big as a house! We had 5 adults in our group (our grown children and ourselves), and everyone had their own private space and bathrooms, which is a bonus when everyone races for the showers at the same time. The owners have this unit stocked with everything you'll need to make it your home away from home during your stay. There are endless towels & linens, snorkel gear, a boogie board, FULLY stocked kitchen with huge pantry, a lanai off every bedroom (with spectacular views), a washer/dryer, dishwasher, all updated appliances, new modern furnishings, TV in every room, air conditioning, skylights, lots of parking, and much more. With the master bedroom upstairs and two bedrooms on the main level, it is perfectly suited to families on holidays. The locations of the bedrooms are unique so you don't hear noise from the elevator or walkways outside. The staff are friendly and helpful (concierge services at main desk), and the grounds that the four buildings rest on are impressively tidy and groomed. Great pool (with restaurant) and beach area below, along with barbeque areas for each building (a great place to meet other travelers). The beach is great for swimming and we saw whales and turtles daily from the front lanai. Located in Kahana, you drive only 10 minutes to Lahaina, 5 minutes to Kaanapali, and 3 minutes to Napili or Kapalua beaches. There are lots of restaurants and corner stores nearby. The owners are wonderful to deal with, and make themselves available to answer all questions promptly. They really make sure your holiday will be problem free. This condo is definitley a rare find, and our family will be returning to stay in the future. Definitely worth every penny if you're looking for that larger space where everyone has privacy and comfort.

Just wanted to say thank you for a great vacation! We had a wonderful time with our kids. The condo is great and we wanted for nothing. Fully stocked and all your needs met. We plan to go again and stay here!

A little piece of Heaven

We stayed here 7/16/2010 thru 7/25/2010 and it was just great. The condo is exactly like the pictures shown. We had 5 adults in our group so there was more than enough room to spread out. The views were magnificent. We slept with the doors open to hear the ocean. A/C was great to have during the day but not necessary at night. No noise or bugs and being on the top floor is a bonus. Everything required for our stay was provided for. The condo has everything identified in the descriptions. We ate breakfast and half of our dinners in. We used one of the grills down by the pool and it was spotless every time. It is cleaned daily. The activities are endless and coming back to the condo at night was like coming home. There is nothing not to like about the island or the condo.

Family Vacation of Our Dreams.

We recently returned from a stay at the Sands of Kahana. In reading over the review "questions to consider" I must say that all of the questions would be answered with a resounding YES! The description and pictures were exactly what we saw when we got there. We watched the turtles in the ocean from our lanai. The property was very well maintain and the owner went above an beyond making sure we had the things we needed to make our stay perfect. I talked to the owner by phone and e-mail and found her to be delightful. All of the amenities were as described and then some. We enjoyed the "happy hour" at the restaurant, went to places close by, but were content to eat "in" as we felt very at home in the condo. A really nice feature was 2 coffee pots! We had six adults, a six year old and 2 one year olds. Of course we all wanted coffee in the AM and the last one up go it ready for the next day with the person up with the first kiddo getting it started. The lanai was very safe and the kiddos liked being out there with us all. There was all the towels and bedding that we needed and all in excellent condition. We also really appreciated a bathroom per family, which is what we had. What else can I say. We are planning our next trip and will hopefully be able to book this same spot. I guess to sum it all up we would have been content to stay right there in the condo and never leave!!! Everything we needed was right there. Couldn't have had a better time. Maholo.

Great Maui Condo

We just returned from a visit to Maui. We stayed in your condo and it was fabulous! We didn't want for anything. We watched whales breaching and slapping their fins in the distance from the lanai. We watched a pair of turtles just below us on the shoreline. There was plenty of room for all of us to have our own "space". Thank you for sharing your condo with us!

Amazing experience!

It is a beautiful place, and amazingly very well stocked. The group thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen, making fun meals, which was only made possible due to the vast variety of kitchenware available. The bedrooms and bathrooms were vast, and the condo layout was spacious. And the location was amazing. Every night was a lesson in tranquility, in which the ocean sounds sounded through the night. The presence of rainbows off the lanai also made it one of the most picturesque views ever. The grounds were well maintained, and the variety of activities was incredible. It was a good distance from Lahaina, about 20 minutes north by car, and a short distance from Ka'anapili beach, which was possibly one of the most beautiful beaches ever.

We had a terrific time staying here! We have two small children, and they had a great time between the beach and the pool. We really appreciated how quiet it was, being on the top floor, so we all slept well. The kitchen is very well-stocked so we didn't need to go out for meals often. (There are BBQ grills on the ground floor.) The condo was very clean and in good condition. The A/C was great to have. And the place really is huge! Nice sunsets...

We just had a fabulous 10 day stay at your beautiful house. What a perfect place for our first trip to Hawaii!! The view and location were the best. We really appreciated having the snorkel equipment and boogie boards available for our use. We will highly recommend your place to all our friends! Thank you!!

Great view, beach and ambience - This is the best!

We were blown away by the huge size of this condo (three times the size of anything I've stayed in before!), the view (fabulous sunsets, great coastline and views of Molokai and Lanai) and the ambience (new furniture and electronics throughout, beautiful tropical decor). The condo was generously supplied, from the kitchen to a great selection of CDs, DVDs, books and beach supplies. The latter saved us a lot of money! The beach was white sand all the way, with great tidepools at one end and a popular surfing spot close by. It was nice having so many activities right there at The Sands - great casual restaurant, two pools, hot tub, BBQs, sand volleyball, putting green, tennis courts and basketball. Roy's of Kahana was just around the corner - Yum! The owners were easy to work with and really know the island - they gave us a lot of really unusual ideas for things to do (the goat cheese farm and taking the BACK road to Hana were my favorites!). Two thumbs WAY up - we'll definitely be back!
