Keywords: Condominium
Experience the best that Maui has to offer at our vacation rental on Maui's westside near the historic town of Lahaina. The comfortably elegant one-bedroom condominium is located in vibrant Honokowai - halfway between Ka'anapali and Kapalua - with a daily farmers market, shops, and restaurants just a short walk away. The Maui Sands is the essence of Old Hawai'i - lush tropical gardens, cool trade winds, and the murmuring ocean to lull you to sleep.
"Hale O Ke Kailanamalie" - our home near the gentle sea - is a cool corner unit with tranquil garden views, and just steps from the beach. Enjoy an early morning walk on the sand, swim in the large pool or at the gentle beach, take in the beautiful sunsets from the deck. You will not need a car - shops, restaurants, and markets are all within easy walking distance. The kitchen is fully equipped, and you can dine on the large lanai and smell the tropical flowers. Since the condominium does not face the west, you will not be baked by the tropical sun in the afternoon!
The condominium has just been remodeled and features new and vintage tropical furniture and art, plus a nice selection of Hawaiian music, DVDs, and books. You will not find a better place to experience Hawaii.

Map & Owner's Profile
West Maui's Best Oceanfront Condominium - Cool & Tranquil
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Honokowai
We fell in love with Maui Sands the first time we saw it; the beautiful landscaping, the low rise Island architecture and laid back style just felt like Old Hawaii. It is such a joy to be able to share this very special place with our friends and guests.
Kaanapali-Honokowaii has so much going for it: within just a short drive you can be in old town Lahaina or cruising the upscale shops at Kapalua. The beaches up north–Flemmings & Honolua– are among the best in the world. Then there's the ono grinds: The Okazuya, Mama's Ribs, fresh fish from the market right across the street! Life is just great in West Maui!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love our time there; walking up the street to buy fresh papayas from the Farmer's Market, grabbing a book and heading down to the beach; snorkeling at the nature preserve at Honolua Bay, walking down the boardwalk to Black Rock, watching the sunset, talking story and sharing pupu with people from all over the world.
The Maui Sands is so convenient: we can walk -- or drive -- a few blocks to the full-service shopping center, or just grab takeout from the popular Okazuya across the street. We always take the short drive to Lahaina to look at the old waterfront, people watch on Front Street or eat at one of the fine restaurants.
During the winter months, we watch whales right from the ocean front deck. In summer we enjoy the shade of the lush tropical gardens. It is always paradise at the Maui Sands.
Buy fresh fruit & veggies, tropical flowers and more at the Farmer's Market. Monday-Wednesday and Friday Mornings. Or shop all week at the farm store.
The perfect place to watch the sunset, hear great music and enjoy a fantastic dinner. The mai tais are out of this world. On the boardwalk at Honua Kai.
Restaurants, shops, dry cleaning, and a super market are just a short walk or drive from Maui Sands.
Our favorite place to snorkel, Honolua is a nature preserve with magnificent coral heads. The surfing is world class, too.
Kaanapalli's great shopping center, with beach front dining, shops, and the wonderful Whaling Museum.
Owner's Map of Honokowai
We live in Southern Oregon's beautiful Applegate Valley, where Annie designs hand knitting and crochet patterns under the name Oat Couture. Mark is a professional musician and freelance writer.
We have been deeply involved in Hawaiian music and culture. Mark directed the Aloha Music Camps on Molokai and Hawaii for many years, as well as writing books about Hawaiian slack key guitar and ukulele.
We spend as much time in Hawaii as we can every year; there is something magical about the play of the light, the sound of the gentle waves and the sweet smell of tropical flowers on an evening breeze–nahenahe!

During our recent trip to Maui, we had the opportunity to stay at this condo. We didn’t know what to expect since we hadn’t stayed in that part of the island before. When we got to the unit, we were pleasantly surprised. The owners have decorated the unit in a way that is relaxed, nicely laid out, up to date and artful. The living area has a futon and chairs that face the TV and music unit. The kitchen is clean and neat, fully equipped, and provides all you need to prepare meals during the times you don’t want to dine out. Food is easily accessed in the nearby delis and markets, including the ‘farmers’ market’ nearby. We stopped and bought a beautiful arrangement of local flowers that we kept on the table during our stay. The unit has a nice dining table and an area to dine on the lanai. The single bedroom has a large comfortable bed with adequate closet space and storage. Sand chairs, mats and requisite beach items available. While the lanai doesn’t face the ocean, it is very comfortable, private, and faces out into a beautiful courtyard with palm trees and other interesting plants and shrubs. The unit is close to stores, good quality takeout places and you can easily walk out to the ocean front at the end of the courtyard where there is a deck with a beautiful view where you can sit and watch whales, occasional sea turtles and have a glass of wine while visiting with your condo neighbors. A great place to stay and we would certainly (and plan to) come again.
Owner response:Many thanks for posting this lovely review. Sounds like you had a great time! Hope you'll make it an annual event. cheers, Mark
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children.
