Beautiful, well managed property will stay again

Was in Maui for a family wedding. Did not get to make full use of the property, as the schedule was full. However, the condo was incredibly peaceful, listening to the waves as they rolled in at night. Saw at least one turtle every single day . ..a perfect place to relax. The property manager Tammy, was incredibly helpful, I had to contact her after hours and she called me back immediately.

208 visit

location was great. view from balconey awesome. only downside was the floors are very dirty. I hand washed the floor in the kitchen and was amazed at the dirt. Also when I walked around in the unit the bottoms of my feet would become very dirty. The screen on the deck needs to be repaired, as we had a lizard visit us. Very enjoyable, would rent again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Makani Sands is our very favorite place to stay in Maui. This was our 5th stay there and every unit we have stayed in has been outstanding. We love sitting on the lanai, poolside or out in front just watching the sea turtles and the whales go by. Makani still has the quiet, family type of place where everyone is made to feel welcome. Tammy at the front desk is always so helpful and pleasant. Just an incredible vacation. We are definitely going to return

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Manager was incredible. Propery is slightly dated (tape deck living room...lol) but clean and well stocked. Location is amazing, right on the water and quiet. The only thing I learned is that this unit, like many in Maui, does not have AC. To my surprise this was a non issue with great breezes and the nights even being cold.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Have stayed on the property a number of times and this unit was the least impressive. The floors were very dirty, not to look at, but the bottoms of your feet will be black in no time. No notice that the water entry / sea wall had received damage from high surge in late 2019. Sliding door and screen definitely need replaced.

Christmas 2020 at Makani Sands

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Maui is a magical island and Makani Sands was the perfect place to stay for our family. It is a small, quiet unit of condos with gorgeous views. The location is perfect for exploration of the amazing west side of Maui. We went on incredible hikes, experienced natural beauty beyond our expectations, and had so much fun at nearby beaches! Our favorite beach, Napili Bay, was just a short drive from Makani Sands. Our unit 208 was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed to make our own meals and enjoy our days. We fell asleep every night listening to the waves crashing outside. What a beautiful sound! We were blessed to see whales in the distance and sea turtles up close. We also enjoyed watching the eels and crabs in the tide pools near the outdoor grill. We loved staying at Makani Sands!
