Come rejuvenate in our oceanfront condo! On your private Lanai/porch listen to the waves, enjoy watching turtles swim, and gorgeous views of Haleakala and Kahoolawe. Native Hawaiian canoes also race In winter time you can watch the whales come in to calve and teach their young to swim and play. Island Sands has a private beach for you to enjoy snorkeling, surf, kayak, paddleboard, fishing, or swimming with the turtles. Enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets over Mt. Haleakala, and full moon shimmering on the ocean framed by swaying palm trees. Relax by the pool, or in our lovely condo with our guest amenities, and go home refreshed with the Aloha spirit of our condo.
The condo was renovated December 2014 and has all new furnishings and kitchen equipment, granite counters, ice maker in the fridge, a large pantry, and small appliances. There is also a washer dryer combination unit in the kitchen which works like a charm. New dishes and glassware make entertaining or cozy dining fun. You also have a pillow topped queen bed with luxurious sheets, and a couch with memory foam mattress for a great sleep listening to the waves roll, if you prefer to have guests stay. Flat screen Blue Ray TV and DVD/CD in the living room, and boogie boards and snorkel equipment await you on the lanai. Dimmer switch lighting, high boy table and chairs create a great view of the ocean and romantic ambiance for outdoor dining on the lanai. Bathroom has marble vanity, and lovely walk in shower.
Island Sands has barbecue grills for outdoor cooking, and tables in the pool area for gatherings, an outdoor shower, and a car washing area. It is located within walking distance of several good restaurants, which are across from Maalaea Harbor where you can go out on dolphin and whale watching excursions, sunset cruises, or snorkeling/diving adventures. Maalaea is centrally located in Maui so it is an easy drive to great places to explore such as the Haleakala National Park, Haiku/Paia ( wind surfing and other water sports), Ulapalakua local winery, Lahaina/Kaanapali and Keihei for shopping and night life, Kahului for the Maui Cultural Arts Center and more.
About Bridget Bongaard
Jim and I love to entertain and meet people from all over the world. We have travelled to Europe, China, India, Fiji, Tanzania, while living in North Carolina but when we came to Maui, we realized the beauty and rejuvenating power of this lovely island and it's people. We would like to share the Aloha with you by 'sharing our home' at #410 Island Sands.
Bridget Bongaard purchased this condo in 2014
Why Bridget Bongaard chose Central Maui
We came to Maui and fell in love with Maalaea. The Island Sands Condo building is stunning, being literally right on the ocean with a private beach, the grounds and pool were so well maintained and the location was so convenient to most of the fun activities on Maui. When we first walked in the front door of the unit the view of the ocean and palm trees stopped us in our tracks. We couldn't believe the beauty and serentiy of the view, and bought the property though it had not been renovated in many years. We gutted the unit, put in all new furniture, appliances, kitchen and bath to restore it for maximum comfort, and serenity. We especially love the outdoor living with the private lanai, with high boy furniture that allow you to see the sweeping views while having a meal or cocktail. We added adjustable lighting at night for an intimate dinner or drinks. Pure magic.
What makes this condo unique
The sleeper sofa has a tempurpedic mattress for maximum comfort and the waves lull you to sleep in this bed. The master bed has a queen sized luxury mattress and pillows with 600 thread count sheets to give a sweet sleep. Air conditioning, cieling fans are rarely needed with the cool breezes that flow through the home. The kitchen has all new appliances, with microwave, and a terrific washer dryer unit. The granite bar seats 4 and adjacent to the kitchen, allowing great chats when meals are prepared in the kitchen, and is perfect for buffet type parties. Flat screen TV in living room, and CD/DVD player for home entertainment. Boogie boards for body surfing, beach towels, are there for instant fun at your private beach.

Tastefully decorated condo. Everything you need for a quiet get away. Centrally located.
The owners have thought of everything. Loved the central location. Comfortable bed. The condo was very clean and the views were amazing. Loved our time here.
Amazing stay, views, and service!
My husband and I booked our first trip to Hawaii and were so excited to begin the adventure on Maui. Unfortunately, the first place we booked to stay fell through about a week before we left, and that property owner worked with Bridget, who in turn worked with us, to help book this amazing property.
All I can say is WOW to the view! It is truly amazing - you get a great view of sunrise and sunset and the water is directly below. There is a small private beach, but we preferred the views from our balcony. Every day we saw several sea turtles swimming, feeding and coming on to the beach, which was breathtaking. There was also a great view of the Molokini Crater on a clear day.
The property was clean and the right amount of space for two people. The appliances and furniture are all up to date. In the kitchen, there was a bottle of pineapple champagne waiting for us. The washer and dryer unit worked perfectly and was easy to use for us, since we wanted to only bring a carry on for our nearly 10 day trip. The bed was SUPER comfortable, and Bridget left us some island favorite Macadamia nut chocolates to go with our champagne. There were also a plethora of maps and guide books, and the unit guide binder was incredibly helpful for us to find places to eat. The unit and building are quiet enough for you to go to bed and wake up to the sounds of the ocean, and you couldn't ask for a better, more peaceful retreat! We will definitely stay here again on our next visit!
Relaxing
We loved our view and our time in Hawaii. This was a wonderful place to stay!
Everything about this condo was perfect!!
This was our third trip to Maui and our first stay in this unit. The location is perfect. The view is phenomenal!!! This condo has everything you could possibly need and want for an amazing Maui vacation. We will be back!
Beautiful
Amazing condo, amazing view. We ran into a little problem when we first checked in but the renters did not hesitate to fix it. Definitely recommend this condo!!
Great lanai for watching whales
Epic was right. This was my 4th Maui condo and 5th for my wife. We stayed during the last week of March. Our favorite so far because it has been the best for watching whales. Whale season was over but we still got to see the last few stragglers from the lanai every morning. If it wasnt for this lanai, then I dont think we would have been able to see those last few remaining whales. The lanai has a large unobstructed field of view of all of Kaho'olawe and the view extends a little more past Kaho'olawe to the right. The view also extends to see everything to the left. That is alot of area to scan for whales. Also the lanai is on the 4th floor so you have a good elevated vantage point. The 5th and 6th floors would have higher/better elevated vantage points but those floors are blocked by the palm tree leaves. Just look at the 5th/6th floor pictures from the other condos and you will notice the same issue where the leaves are blocking large sections of field of views. The view from this 4th floor lanai locates you just under the palm leaves so you have a 100% unrestricted view. There was only 1 set of 10x binos provided so I recommend to bring extras for everyone in your group. I cant imagine what it would be like to be on this lanai during early February during peak whale season. I enjoy snorkeling and zodiac boat tours but I would probably never leave the lanai during peak whale season.
Map
Your condo is in a very central location and about 15-20 minutes from most amenities, and other adventures can be found on Maui within a 30 minute drive. The winery is about 45 min drive but worth exploring as part of an Up Country Tour. Famous windsurfing town of Paia, is delightful, and most water sports can be done in Maalaea, as well as Kihei nearby. The famous Mamma's Fish House is a sure treat for old Hawaiian dining, and you are right at the Maalaea harbor where you can go on dinner or snorkeling cruises. There is all kinds of adventure and fun on this island, and your condo is perfectly located to make these an easy 1/2 day or day trip.
