Welcome to your Hawaiian Haven on Maui!

Please scroll down & read the full description & FAQ's as we have likely already answered your questions below! You can also find out more (and get exclusive discounts) by searching for Hawaiian Haven and the Elikapeka Suite online.

For the perfect mix of island resort living with all the comforts of home, you’ll love the Elikapeka Suite at Sands of Kahana. Located on the west coast of Maui, you’ll have sandy beach access mere feet from our home, full views of the ocean, the island of Lanai’i, breathtaking sunsets, and the gorgeous West Maui Mountains all from your expansive --nearly 2000 square feet, air-conditioned, beachfront-- 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo suite. All of your needs can be met on the resort, but for those who want to explore all that Maui has to offer, Kaanapali, Kapalua, and downtown Lahaina are all just minutes away.

The Elikapeka Suite is perfect for groups and families of all ages! Our home is a corner unit 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, one-level, open floor plan condo with a large, gracious, fully-stocked kitchen, separate dining and living rooms, featuring two large lanais with direct ocean (from primary & living room) and mountain views (2nd & 3rd bedrooms). The suite is privately owned (not a timeshare) and has been renovated throughout with new stainless steel appliances, full-size washer and dryer for your private use, flatscreen LED televisions, exotic wood flooring in each bedroom, high-speed fans throughout, high thread count, hypo-allergenic bedding and high-end mattresses, modern island furnishings, artwork, and plenty of bath and beach towels for all! For those rare, uncomfortably warm and humid tropical days, our unit is also one of the few of its size at Sands of Kahana to offer controlled central air conditioning.

An ideal place for gathering family and friends, the suite comfortably sleeps up to six guests on two king beds and two queen beds. All bedrooms provide privacy and thick barn or hinged doors.

A few notes on frequently asked questions:
-How close are you to the beach? You can see the beach from our living room window & front lanai. We haven't calculated the number of steps down to the ground floor and to the water, but it's not far. There are also many, many other beaches a short walk or drive from our home, so you can find your favorite!

-Discounts: In short, no. Given the quality and size of our unit, the many on-site amenities that are included in your stay, and our competitive pricing relative to other three-bedroom units and hotels in the area, we do not offer additional discounts other than what may be occasionally advertised here.

-Number of guests: The advertised rate is inclusive of six guests. We may allow up to eight guests with an additional surcharge. Please note that the names and ages of all guests, a residential mailing address (no P.O. boxes), phone and email address is legally required by our insurance and the resort for all reservations.

-What building are you in/unit number/floor? We will not share this info until your reservation is paid-in-full. This is for security and guest privacy concerns as our calendar and pictures of our home are publicly available.

-Length of stay: Stays of less than seven nights will only be considered where there is an odd 'gap' between other bookings and additional nightly discounts may be available for those stays.

-Are my dates available? Check the calendar! :) Depending on other bookings and time of year, we may ask if you have any flexibility in your dates. We recommend booking your accommodations before your flights if you have flexibility.

-Cancellations: Your payments are non-refundable. Plan accordingly & buy travel insurance to protect your costs.

-Cancel-for-any-reason Travel Insurance Recommended: Since group vacations to Maui can be very expensive, we highly recommend looking into trip insurance to protect you against any unexpected life events that may prevent you from honoring your stay. There are independent sites that allow you to compare coverage options or your credit card may offer something if you use it to pay for your stay. We can't afford to insure the costs of your stay which is why we have a non-refundable cancellation policy.

-No jerk policy: We work very hard to ensure our guests have a great experience in our home. Our on-island team will go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. We practice aloha and expect the same from our guests. If you're not respectful in the reservation process, we won't trust you with our home.

Mahalo (thank you) for considering making our home your Hawaiian haven while on Maui!

Lahaina Recovery Update (10/22/2024):

We've discounted our rates for 2024 and 2025 and hope that you'll return, thoughtfully and peacefully, to West Maui. For stays of 28 nights or more, additional discounts will be automatically applied. Please do not ask for additional discounts.

If you are in search of a quieter vacation, with beautiful ocean views, sunsets, and the opportunity to help a community recover, we welcome you. FEMA did not select our home to house a local family, so know that by vacationing with us you are not displacing anyone. Our on-island caretaker and cleaning team appreciates your business, as do the local businesses who remain and are eager to welcome you.

As always, we recommend purchasing cancel-for-any-reason trip insurance when you book through your choice of insurance provider.
