If you want to travel to the west coast of Maui, and are considering the Sands of Kahana, unit 234 should be a unit to consider. It is on the 3rd floor, with palm trees blowing in the breeze right out your lanai, as well as providing a little shade when desired. It is ON the beach with unobstructed views of the islands of Molokai and Lanai, humpback whales breaching and slapping their flukes in the very blue Pacific Ocean, and the sandy beach below. We were there for 10 days and we did not use the AC at all as the breeze from the windows and two sliding glass doors was perfect. (If we were visiting in the summer months, we might have used the AC, or if the humidity level was too high for an extended period.) Our weather from 2/26-3/8 was perfect.The unit had nearly everything you needed including starter kits of laundry detergent (bring dryer sheets) and dishwasher soap. You will want to consider bringing a small suitcase of kitchen staples with you (seasonings, olive oil, PAM, coffee, tea, etc), otherwise your grocery bill will be higher than you like. There is a set of snorkeling gear for one person and one boogie board as well. Beach towels and bathroom towels were enough for our family of 5. A few small improvements will make the stay even better and maybe management will address these in the upcoming weeks:1) The master bed frame was loose and squeaked loudly. I didn't have any tools otherwise I would have tried to tighten up the frame.2) The kitchen could use some updated tupperware/plasticware for cooking, and the knife set MUST be replaced. 3) If available, boost the WIFI upload/download speed. While we were there, 2 of our boys were ZOOMING school for 4 days, and I was working remotely. We struggled with dropped wifi signals periodically but managed through it. Remote schooling and work will continue to some degree, and the best and strongest WIFI signal adds a lot of value for families.
