Island Sands Resort Condo w/ Shared Grill, Ocean View-Close to Beaches

Not worth the money. The unit was very outdated and dingy/dirty. This unit seemed to lack pride of ownership and clearly is simply a source of revenue for someone. The couch was dirty, bed skirts were brown from the floor half way up to mattresses, toilets were dirty, trim not fastened in bathroom, doorway to hall was broken and splintering, appliances outdated. The whole place needs a paint job. As for amenities….parking spaces extremely narrow, only 4 bath towels provided per bathroom which kept us doing laundry daily, there was no extra paper towels, only two spare rolls toilet paper, and two kitchen trash can liners. At one point we were locked out of the condo because the code had been changed but no one told us. The layout is terrible with the tv in the living room and the tv in the bedroom back to back only separated by the partition. The two tvs constantly battled with volume. If the ppl in the bedroom wanted to watch their tv, the ppl in the living room had a hard time hearing their tv. If the ppl in that bedroom wanted to sleep, it was impossible if someone was in the living room watching tv. The manager of the complex was rude. Our very first night there, we were sitting at the pool while the kids swam. The “manager” came in and demanded to know where we were staying and informed us rudely that ppl live at the condos and work in the morning and therefore our kids should be quiet. It was 7:05pm when he approached us and quiet hours start at 10pm.

Living room has window AC unit which works okay with one bedroom that is connected to the living area. The bedroom was warm. It was good that the owner had three fans available to cool the room down in warm weather. *** The guest parking is very very narrow.

We enjoyed our stay in Maalaea. The location of the unit was wonderful, overlooking the pool and the ocean

We should have have trusted some of the reviews before booking. There were cockroaches in every room. The front window is missing a section. So, you can hear all the outside noise. The neighbor does keep her TV on at full volume. It starts about 4 a.m. and you can hear it in the front bedroom. It's worse because the front window is missing a section and you can hear the TV as if it were in the bedroom. The worst part was the management company wouldn't help out with any issues. They won't even communicate with you unless you write them continually. While the location is pretty good and the views are nice, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Perfect space to relax & enjoy life. Ocean view from the balcony is mesmerizing.

Pictures on line are consistent with what you will actually experience. The view is beautiful and it is conveniently located to Kihei and Lahaina.

All amenities were available from towels to beach chairs and boogie boards. The view is outstanding! The area is quiet with a couple restaurants within walking distance. This property suffers from age… all furnishing are tired and could use some love. The second bedroom down the hall lacked any air flow from the air conditioning. Everything was in working order.

The only good thing about this place is the view from the balcony We saw many whales. The condo is in need of updating and a really good cleaning. There is only one towel set per person. We were there for 9 nights so we had to do laundry every night, we were on vacation so that was not okay!

This is a good starting point for just about anything you want to do on the island. It's mostly quiet at night, though you will definitely hear the next door neighbor's TV if you open the door and windows for the breeze.. they keep it very loud and it's always on. The kitchen is well-stocked with all kinds of dishes and utensils. Weird thing: Be prepared for two of the cabinet doors to hit the kitchen ceiling fan if you run it. There's a nice selection of reading material, and it was also very nice to have all the beach gear (I promise that umbrella was already broken). We stayed here for the price and the location, but had a mostly enjoyable stay.
