Our little piece of paradise has been remodeled, giving you the comfort of an updated kitchen and bathroom with a beautiful open look. We also have new furnishings, including a sleeper sofa that has a 6 inch memory foam mattress that is actually comfortable to sleep on!
Our condo is at a beautiful beachfront/oceanfront location (seasonal sand levels) within walking distance of shops, a farmers market, a natural market, the BEST coffee shop, and restaurants. In the Winter and early-Spring you can see the whales from the comfort of the lanai, and the monk seals and turtles are always a treat when they pay a visit throughout the year. Just 12 steps from the edge of the semi-private beach, you can float on the ocean water, see the delights of snorkeling, bodyboard, or simply catch some rays. When we first came across this condo, we were awestruck by the view.... and we know you will be, too!
This condo has one separate bedroom with a king bed along with a sofa bed in the living room that can sleep 2 extra people. There are ceiling fans, but with the blinds open on both ends, the wonderful Hawaiian breezes flow through to keep it very comfortable inside.
We are just a few short minutes to world-class golf at Kapalua and Kaanapali, and Lahaina Town is only 5 miles away. This is the perfect condo for families and honeymooners alike. We know you'll be in heaven at our condo in paradise!

The checking in process went smoothly. We arrived to Hawaiian music and an amazing view of the ocean from this ground level unit. We immediately felt relaxation.
The location makes you feel like you are out of the hustle and bustle of the city, but also have access to grocery stores and food not too far away. Just down the street, we enjoyed Papa O'Hana's Cinnamon Rolls (get in line early!) and Dole Pineapple Whip at a local Mediterranean restaurant. There is also a large food truck park set up for local feast and fun. With that said, we enjoyed many a meals in and used the gas grills to grill steak at "home" and enjoyed eating dinner in the cool of the evening.
The condominium units are mixed use between short term rentals to seasonal owners. This was a plus as we felt welcomed by the "locals" and they taught us customs like the conch shell sunset ceremony. We felt like we belonged there, hence "home away from home." In fact, we ended up adding 2 more days to our stay because we just weren't ready to go home!
Matt contacted us a couple days in to check to see how we were doing. They were easy to get a hold of if needed. He was very accommodating and kind.
Activities we enjoyed were the Road to Hana and Volcanic National Park (both about an hour drive to the start of the drives, we just planned for an all day event), to swimming in the ocean in front of the unit at low tide, even swimming with the sea turtles.
A must stay! We are hoping to go back again soon!

The condo at Makani Sands was perfect - and you cannot beat the location! Having an unobstructed ocean view was amazing. We loved eating our meals outside on the patio every day. Highly recommend!

Good place to stay. Located on the upper northwest part of the island.

Everything was as described or better! We used the beach chairs and umbrella every day. It is perfectly located and right on the water. We prefer to stay in a smaller complex rather than one of the bigger resorts and this was the best yet. 3 minutes to Nipili Market, 20 minutes to Honolua bay, 10 minutes or less to Nipili and Kapalua Beaches, the Gazebo, etc. Perfect!

Location great and better than our first visit to Maui (on our first visit there we stayed at a condo in Maalea Bay which was wonderful but the Lahaina location here with this condo we enjoyed much more!) Close to harbor, food, coffee, market, excursions, awesome beaches! Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed the location -- so fun to watch the whales from the lanai while eating my meals. While there's no traditional beach at the condo, the lounge chairs along the seawall were great for catching some sun. When I got too hot, I'd go down the stairs to get in the water (and snorkeled with a couple sea turtles right there). Trips to nearby beaches were easy, too, and I took advantage of the beach chairs, mats, and cooler that were in the condo.
Condo itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. Had a few small issues (dishwasher and icemaker were both out of service during my trip; struggled a bit to line up the back slider to get it locked/unlocked), but the pros far outweighed the cons.

Good place to stay for few days. Quiet with awesome view especially at sunset. I put 3 stars for accuracy of online listing because I expected to have the beach in front of the property but this is not the case. There is an access to the ocean but no dry sand. Also be aware of the strong current and rocks. Pool is heated and good place to relax.

We were so pleased with this condo we plan on returning. We have all had the experience of looking on line and when we arrive it is not as advertised. Everything about this condo was as advertised. Fantastic location and views. Facility staff Tammie and Rick were great. Made us feel welcome and very helpful. We plan on returning soon!
