Direct Ocean Property - Oversized 2BD / 2BTH - AC - Sleeps 6 - Family Friendly

Maui Sands Unit 1J: Upgraded Oceanfront Living

Spacious 2-Bedroom, 2-Bath | Central AC | Top Floor Privacy

Experience the best of West Maui in this highly upgraded, 1,000 sq. ft. condo. While many units in the area rely on older window units or trade winds alone, Unit 1J features full Central Air Conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable after a day in the sun.
The Space

Our top-floor (2nd floor) unit comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with a thoughtful layout:

Master Bedroom: Queen bed, Central AC, ceiling fan, and wall-mounted TV.

Second Bedroom: Queen bed, Central AC, ceiling fan, and wall-mounted TV.

Living Area: Queen-sized pull-out sofa sleeper.

Bonus: We provide white noise machines in both bedrooms to ensure a deep, restful sleep.

Bathrooms: Two full bathrooms featuring beautiful custom-tiled showers.

Our Private Lanai

The lanai is the heart of the home. With seating for six, it’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. Overlooking the lush gardens and sparkling pool, you can easily keep an eye on the kids swimming below or enjoy stargazing at night.
Premium Features & Amenities

Gourmet Touches: Travertine flooring and elegant granite countertops.

Full Kitchen: Equipped with a fridge, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, and blender.

Stay Connected: High-speed Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs in every room.

Beach Ready: We provide beach towels so you can save luggage space!

Location & Property Highlights

Maui Sands is a direct oceanfront property facing the islands of Lanai and Molokai. While Unit 1J is tucked back for privacy (offering a "peek-a-boo" view of the blue water through the palms), the ocean's edge is just a one-minute stroll past the pool.

The Pool & Grounds: Enjoy a large swimming pool, BBQ grills, picnic tables, and sprawling grass areas for the kids to play.

Marine Life: Our reefs are teeming with turtles, octopus, puffer fish, and seasonal monk seals.

"Baby Beach": During low tide, a shallow protected area appears—perfect for kids to explore with small nets.

The Famous Beach Walk

We are located at the very end of North Ka’anapali Beach. This is the last property where you can walk directly onto the sand to reach Duke’s Restaurant, Black Rock, and Whaler’s Village.

Note: The sand on Maui is "seasonal" and moves with the currents. If the tide is high, a quick 1-minute walk to the park next door (Paki Maui) provides a large, sandy beach area all year round.

Explore the Neighborhood

You are perfectly positioned 5 minutes north of Ka’anapali and 10 minutes from historic Lahaina. Within a half-mile walk, you’ll find:

Farmers Market & local health food store.

Coffee shops, bars, and local eateries.

Honokowai Beach Park.

Maui Bus Stop: Just $2 for a ride into town!

Condo is in a great location

Clean and well-equipt condo. Good value for the money. Easy parking and great location. The tides were really high and strong and not much room on the beach for laying out. Very noisy on the road at night. The noise-canceling machines helped, but could still hear cars/trucks racing by.

Good location, lovely property

Condo is updated, with new bathroom remodels and new appliances. Includes adequate dishes, pots and pans for basic cooking. No water toys or beach chairs come with this unit, few left-over cooking ingredients, so bring your own or rent them. This unit’s bedrooms face the road, and owner has considerately provided white noise machines if needed. Property is pretty and well cared for, with a nice pool. Not particularly little kid friendly though — pool has no steps or shallow part for little ones; beach is a narrow strip of sand and rocks that is a HUGE step down from property and there is not room to set up beach chairs — water often right up to steps. BUT the water is crystal clear and there is good snorkeling between the two reefs right out front.

Very Comfortable!

Big mahalo goes out to Hawaii for the lovely stay! What went right: very nice/kind property manager, beautiful ocean access, walking distance to park, bigger beach area (Honopiilani Beach), grocery store, moped rental, amazing cinnamon rolls, laundry room in complex, coffee shop. We had a great unit! We overheard other vacationers comment that they didn’t have good A/C and were too hot/miserable. Not so with us. We used the A/C sparingly customized by room and were VERY comfortable sleeping. Bathrooms, beds, kitchen, lanai - all perfect! What could be improved: maybe small shampoo/ conditioner? It’s a average rating for lux—- no “extras” that make you feel spoiled. The snorkeling near the unit was not good- but we visited just after a storm and the waves were pretty energetic even after the murk settled. So that’s could have just been our luck of the draw. We would recommend this lovely place for the family who is more interested in quality family time more than a “spoiled spa” experience.

Value for the money!

Amazing location. Close to ABC stores. 2 minutes walk to the ocean. Amazing sunsets and great for morning walks alongside the ocean. It was connected to other condo/resort backyard beaches and was easy to meet friends there. Nice swimming pool which was never crowded.There was a mini book library too. Hardly 2 or 3 people at any point of time. The condo was very spacious. Very good cross ventilation the entire time. Whole place was cool and airy the whole stay. Even in the nights, we had the patio door open which made it very comfortable. The noise from the road was a bit more than what we expected but we got used to it. Very thoughtful of the host to provide white noise machines in the bedrooms. We wished the washer/dryer was inside our rooms but it was still fine to operate the common area washer/dryer using the Mobile App(instead of looking for Quarters). We had to go buy washer tablets from the nearby ABC store for this though. The Maui food bank in the opposite complex was useful to donate the leftover excess grocery that was unopened.

Disappointed

We stayed here in March 2015. if you book this Condo, be aware the OVEN and ICE MACHINE are NOT working. There's a small counter top oven. If you plan on eating out, this won't be problem. But cooking for 5 people was difficult. The oven in the unit has not been working for more than 10 months--so the owners aren't rushing to get this fixed. Also, both bedrooms back up to a busy street. If you live in a big city, you'll probably be able to sleep through the morning noise. Since my family lives in a quiet small town, we had trouble sleeping past 6am. This is NOT a relaxing condo. None of the above issues were disclosed. If we knew prior to booking this condo, we would have stayed somewhere else! In addition, the condo description states a "peak-a-boo" look at the ocean. Due to tree growth, you will not see the ocean from the lanai. The condo faces the pool and has a lovely few of the gardens. The bedroom TV's are old and very small. Wasn't a problem for us, since we don't watch much TV. The condo has been remodeled and was very clean. Average pool. Not able to swim/snorkel at the water front of the property. Too many rocks. Stayed March 2015. Would NOT recommend this unit.

Lovely Spacious Condo

Maui Sands 1J was a great condo for our vacation needs. It was clean, the beds and pillows were comfortable, the A/C worked great, and it was located close to all our activities. Our first night after traveling all day, we walked to nearby food trucks to eat. Very convenient since we were pretty tired. Kory, the owner, was very responsive to our questions and came out within the hour to assist with my concern. Turned out it was my error. He also brought us extra toilet paper, so we never had to shop for any. The tide was up the whole week, but there were plenty of sandy beaches nearby. So no problem! You could still use the beach and sit on the grassy area by the entrance. I would recommend this condo to anyone and would stay here again if I came back to Maui!

Great property and location!

This condo was perfect for our Maui stay and we will definitely return. The ocean access was phenomenal and loved the grill access. One thing to note is that the condo faces the street, which can get loud very early in the morning. People walking past not only make a lot of noise (the sound seems to carry) but will also shake the room a bit. We were there to explore so getting up early wasn't really a problem, but it can be jarring.

Comfortable and clean

Condo interior was older than anticipated and could use some loving care (coat of paint would help.) We did enjoy our stay and overall a peaceful, pleasant 3 nights. Pool code was changed and on site manager should notify property managers. Area was fine but no place to take a walk. Ocean water high on retainer wall. (Literature does state tides csn be high but judging by the area beach walk seems very rare to non-existent.

Maui Vacation 2022

The property was well kept and comfortable. We really enjoyed the pool and the grounds. The shower head broke while we were there but the property manager was very responsive and fixed it quickly. The only downfall is that they were doing construction in the unit directly below us for three of the days we were there. That was hard as we would come back to rest after being at the beach and there was a lot of banging going on. I'm not entirely sure the neighborhood is safe as we were followed back to property by two rough looking individuals (one who was wearing a hoodie and the other got out and lit a cigarette while observing us). We did not exit the vehicle but left and they proceeded to leave right after we left. I'm not sure what their intentions were but our spidey senses were definitely going off. I would say that just like anywhere be aware of your surroundings. All in all it was beautiful and we enjoyed it immensely.

Great location. Nice complex. No real beach access when we were there but short walk took you to beach. Lock box is a little difficult to open if you have nails. Air conditioning is a little challenging to figure out. Great breeze/airflow through the home. Good selection of kitchen wares. Lovely patio with plenty of seating.

Great location, a bit noisy

The location here was great for exploring the west coast of Maui. The beach area directly at this property is mostly good for snorkeling. The condo itself was nice and as expected, the pool was warm every day, and the view and proximity to beach were great. The road noise was somewhat of an issue but the white noise machines did help. The other noisy part was the downstairs neighbor doing renovations the week we stayed, this also caused lots of dust on the lanai. Overall this was a great place to stay, would definitely recommend if you don’t want to pay the cost of a resort.

Basic lodging in a great area

Pros: short walk to grocery store (Times), places to eat, and beaches. Wonderful lanai for relaxing, comfortable beds, good Wi-Fi. Cons: Needs minor maintenance (cabinets in kitchen, master toilet runs, bathroom shower hard to turn off). Furniture needs updated to be comfortable, kitchen isn’t well stocked (bare utensils, no pizza cutter, bring your own tinfoil and plastic wrap, 1 kitchen towel). Our 2 families of adults and 1 infant had plenty of space and enjoyed our visit. We would stay here again, but know to bring or rent beach chairs, all ocean gear, and stop at Costco for kitchen and food first.

About the host

Hosted by Kory Skolnick

Host profile image
We remodeled this unit 5 years ago and added central air conditioning and a 2nd bathroom! We are the only unit in all of Maui Sands that has two bathrooms! Please enjoy our condo and fall in love with Maui and this property! Our condo is managed by Kory Skolnick at Maui Sea Breeze Vacation Rentals.

Why they chose this property

We stayed here on vacation 10 years ago and fell in love with the neighbors and how quiet the property was directly on the ocean. Every night we go down to the ocean deck and meet other owner and renters and sip on our cocktail. It's old school Hawaii where the plants on the property are now trees! You'll love the interior of this property! Very spread out and spacious units. Like how it used to be in Hawaii

What makes this property unique

Snorkeling right in front of our property! Many days we don't even leave the property. My husbands snorkels for a few hours and ill read and watch. Then I'll lounge at the pool while he chit chats with everyone around the pool area. We also love the central location. If we want to go to dinner in Lahaina and walk around, it's only 5-10 minutes away. If we want to enjoy the best beach in the entire world...we drive 2 minutes to Kaanapali Beach. If we want to swim with dolphins we head up 5 minutes north to Kapalua Bay.
