Prime Ma'alaea Location
Nestled in the peaceful oceanfront community of Island Sands, this condo offers the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience. Its central Maui location makes it easy to explore the island, with Kahului Airport, Wailea, and Lahaina all about 20 minutes away, while Pa'ia, Makawao, and the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge are just a short drive farther. During whale season (November through April), you can often watch humpback whales from your private lanai, while green sea turtles are frequently spotted along the shoreline in front of the resort year-round. A short walk south leads to Haycraft Park and Sugar Beach, Maui's longest undeveloped beach, perfect for swimming, beachcombing, and long sunset strolls. Less than a mile north, Ma'alaea Harbor features restaurants, shops, snorkeling and Molokini tours, whale-watching excursions, sunset cruises, the Maui Ocean Center, and family-friendly attractions. For added convenience, a Maui Bus stop at Ma'alaea Village provides easy access to public transportation to many destinations across the island.

The main reason for only a 3 star evaluation was the bed old and I woke up with a sore back every morning. Also the couch is old and the front of it is lower than the back and u slowly slide down.
Island sands is my favorite Condos
Cozy, clean and great view. However, the winds were so strong that we couldn't enjoy the outdoor areas. Fully furnished with all you need. Check-in directions said to open both doors for ventilation, but wind was so strong we felt like stuff was flying off the walls.
Loved sitting on the balcony and watching the whales in Maalaea Bay! Lovely condo!
The property was centrally located. We had easy access to wherever we wanted to go. The scenery from the lanai was fabulous. We would stay again.
Great communication from property management. Very easy check-in/check-out. Keyless entry to condo is super convenient. Condo is great & has a LOT of random stuff...beach stuff, sunscreen, after-sunscreen, seasonings, cooking oil, laundry soap/dryer sheets, water filter pitcher, and a TON of books/literature about Maui & things to do there. A LOT of Hawaiian-themed tchotchkes everywhere...possibly too many, as they take up space you might use to put your belongings, but they are cheerful & cute. The winds are crazy & blow right through from the entrance to the balcony...between the wind & ceiling fans, the unit was always comfortable. (The stairwell is across the hall from the condo & the door will bang LOUDLY if it's not closed tightly...) The pool is small, but was never busy. Lounge chairs are really nice...comfy. The grills are nice & worked great. The unit's assigned parking spot is easily seen from the balcony of the condo, which also has an amazing view of the water...we missed the whales, but saw dolphins playing on most mornings. Our only quasi-complaint is about the pillows...there are quite a few of them, but none are very great to sleep on. We definitely recommend this property as a great place to stay on Maui!
IS401 was perfect with ocean and mountain views. It was well stocked in the kitchen from dishes to spices. The people are friendly, and the complex is quiet. You can watch the turtles all day long and never get tired of it. If you're lucky, you may see one resting on the little beach, but please don't disturb. We have stayed at this complex several times and will definitely be back. Thank you Lynn for a great vacation!!
Fantastic space, clean, comfortable. Great overall experience
401 was so perfect for us! It is in the most convenient location, away from all the hustle and in a quiet little nook where you can just sit and listen to the ocean for hours! We had zero issues so that is a plus! We were worried about only having one window unit coming into vacation. But with the lanai doors and windows open all week, it was no problem at all!! We definitely hope to come back!
Our condo had the absolute most uncomfortable living room furniture I’ve ever had to endure for 8 days!!! I actually had DIS--comfort while sitting on living room couch, chairs!!! Very poor to subject renters to suffer with crap like that. Makes owners look so unprofessional, uncourteous. The presentation of property (condo) very deceiving online. Everything was old, very worn and not something I would have chosen had I actually seen in realistic photos! Deceiving. Will not trust VRBO in the future.
It was great. Whales jumping right in front of our balcony. Location wise it's little bit on the side but close to everything.
