The condo, which is essentially a full town house, was great. It was so nice having breakfast every morning out on the lanai as we watched the whales. We also saw the occasional turtle in the water with us right on our little beach. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms and kitchen had everything stocked that we could have possibly needed. All of the staff we came across were so welcoming, and Tammy is an absolute gem. Thank you for the great stay! The weather didn't play nicely for a large part of our trip, so we're already making plans to come back for a do over!

Everything was great! Nice to enjoy family time
Amazing views of the beach and ocean. So close to the surf it was like being in our own little cabana but with the option of the porch or right inside. 10-15 minutes walking from food/stores, most of thr beaches also within 15 minutes that we we t to. Lots of turles swimming our little cove, good snorkling or jiat bobbing in the surf. Would love to stay longer and if we get the chance to come back. Older condo, and it looks like DYI on some of the bathroom updates, but all functional, very clean, very comfortable and very reponsive supervisors. Stocked kitchen. Lots of towels. Extra blankets and pillows and air worked fine.
The place was amazing. The keys we were originally given were totally different keys once they got replaced. My only complaint is the person who cleans the cement at 6am every day. He uses a metal shovel to scrape sand up and move furniture around. Maybe change that to a later time?

My family had a wonderful stay! Plenty of space for a large family and stocked with pretty much everything youâll need. The condo itself is oceanfront and we enjoyed watching the sea turtles all day everyday. We were also able to see humpback whales from our balconies and that was dreamy! Thereâs a clean pool for fun down time and shops, grocery stores, coffee, and some restaurants are a short walk away. It was the perfect place for our family; you wonât regret it!
Makani Sands is a well-maintained property located right on the beach but close to a variety of restaurants and shops and just down the road from the largest of the Lahaina area resorts. The property managers are considerate and professional and insured a comfortable stay for us. Our unit was clean, everything worked, and had a great view of the ocean where we watched the turtles swim by and whales breaching daily.
What an absolutely beautiful location. We enjoyed watching the whales from the two lanais and hearing the ocean waves at night.Being a corner unit, we had more light and better views from the lanais. The building is conveniently located within walking distance to a beach park and coffee shops and restaurants.
Condo is in a great location with wonderful views of the ocean. Property manager was excellent. She made check in and check out easy. Pool area and ocean front deck were perfect for enjoying the sunshine. Condo had everything we needed but could use some updating.
The place is a great location, walking distance to so much. The view from the balconyâs are amazing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely, will recommend to friends and family and we will stay here again!

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. If we needed anything Tammy was prompt to respond. The views from the lanai were magnificent. We enjoyed snorkeling right off the property and saw several fish and even turtles swimming around. Although it didnât have a sandy beach there are several options within a few minutes driving if you are looking for that. We would definitely stay here again.
Great to look out on the water and see turtles playing in the surf! The condo was clean and the a/c worked well, but the place could be updated (a bit dingy) and there was an electrical glitch in one of the bedrooms. Overall, a wonderful vacation.
We loved everything about our stay, the views were amazing, condo was stocked with everything we needed. I look forward to another stay here in the future!!
Great Location ! Ocean about 15 yards away. Enjoyed the 3 bedroom ocean front rental. Close to coffee shops, cafes and walking distance to the food trucks. The turtles pass through the water in front of our condo and see them clearly from the lanai, snorkeled with the turtles in front of our condo. Apartment is a little dated but very comfortable. Manager Tammy and Debbie were responsive to our needs and allowed us a little later checkout at 12:30 pm.
I feel it offers great value to a family like us with 6 adults
Mahalo !
Location and view are 10/10! Numerous turtles along the rocks by the sitting area made dreams come true for family members to see them in the wild. Condo was overdue for pest control, roaches in the kitchen were abundant. Property manager was very responsive and offered another unit but we chose to stay and use raid, didn't see anymore. Toilet broke, was addressed first thing next day. Appreciate the immediate responsiveness. It was hard to keep the 2 guest rooms cool, master was easy to cool. Appreciated the nice beach towels readily available. Overall, we loved the view and accommodation of Property manager, unit is over due for some TLC. Even in current condition it's still a nice unit I would recommend but understand it's not a shiny new modern condo.
We are a family of six and this Makani Sands location was perfect for our trip to Maui. The views from both balconies were amazing. We loved the beach / sitting area. We were very close to other beaches and restaurants, but we also did a lot of cooking and used the grills one night. The place has everything we needed. Our kids loved the heated pool and spent hours in it. The snorkeling right off the property was quite good. And the other residents are really nice. My step son saw one of them fishing one night, chatted with him, and then was told he could use the fishing pole any time! Someone else gave him some bait. He was in heaven. Great place to stay. Highly recommend it!
Front row seats to watching the whales and turtles right from the oceanside decks! The unit was clean and well-stocked with sheets, fluffy towels, and household items. A few items need repair, but we were very comfortable and happy. Walk to coffee shop, farmers market, and fish market. Supermarket a mile away. The bedrooms facing the street are a little noisy in the morning (traffic, roosters), but we got used to it after the first night. It was a great homebase location for our activities and day trips. We would come back!
