We were so looking forward to this stay, especially after an 8 hour flight delay, but we arrived late at night to roaches in the kitchen. They ranged from large, to small, to tiny baby ones. We instantly knew there was a roach problem. I sent a video to the owner and didn’t receive a response until the next day after I re-initiated a conversation. Her first response was- “you can’t get a refund for bugs, it’s in the rental agreement”. I took her word and felt defeated that we’d have to risk bringing roaches home. She did offer to bring pest control in, which they said they did, but that didn’t make it better, they also offered another unit, but that one also had roaches. After pest control we continued seeing roaches on the counters, black splash, coming out from under the oven. It was disgusting and we chose not to really cook there and avoided the kitchen as much as we could. Mind you we did have Littles so there were times we washed everything with hot water and soap to use what we needed. It was an extreme dent to our trip. I wish I advocated more and fought for a refund and honestly just left after the first night because we weren’t comfortable. Coming home from our trip, we left all our baggage wrapped in bags and ended up washing all our clothes at a laundromat to prevent any roaches coming into our house. I wish they took necessary steps to fumigate the building before allowing guests to stay. We saved up for this vacay 5 years and find it unfair to host families.

We had a total of 5 families of different sizes and age ranges vacationing together. We rented two units in this same building and it was the perfect spot for us! There was plenty of space inside the units to accommodate everyone. Plenty of seating inside and outside and you just can’t beat the views and how close the beach is. I also loved the neighborhood feel of this location versus being in a more resort-like setting. We had all of the same accommodations with a much more private feel.

This was our 1st trip to Maui and it was the best vacation we have ever had. The condo was very clean, updated and comfortable. I could not believe all of the ammenities. The owner thought of everything to make us feel comfortable. It truly felt like a home away from home. It was very difficult to leave.I have all ready shared the information with friends and family. Hope to be back soon! MAHALO

Overall, the location and condo worked perfectly for our family of five (all adults). Check-in was easy, plenty of parking, quiet area, rooms and bathrooms were clean, bbq grill was easy to use, checkout was easy and the condo was right off the beach.
This rental is in a great location which isn’t too far from a grocery store, gas station and other restaurants.
We would definitely book this same condo in the future.

We arrived and found the unit clean and ready for our 7 night stay. The view looking out to the Ocean is the best! We enjoyed visiting with those that live in the complex and those also enjoying their vacation. The evening blowing of the Chonch was an experience we enjoyed. The proximity to all of our adventures we took was a bonus. I would recommend staying here to anyone and would come back.

Our place fit 7 adults well. We enjoyed our view and saw many whales. It is a nice quiet smaller condo complex which made it very relaxing. The unit was well appointed and I would recommend it.

Once again, Makani Sands was an enjoyable place to stay. This was our 5th visit/stay. We enjoy the location, the friendly staff, and the nice comfortable rooms. This was our first time visiting in December/January. Saw lots of whales, turtles, and other marine life. The weather was awesome, no rain! Just sunshine and beautiful skies. We were truly sadden by the damage due to the fires in Lahaina and supported businesses as much as we could. Prayers go out to ALL people of Maui as they rebuild their lives and homes. Looking forward to our next vacation!

There were stains on blankets and the shower in one of bathrooms did not work from the first day. We contacted to the host and management team of this property through emails, calls, and knocking their office but nothing was reachable. It was horrible experience since our group share only one shower room during the stays. We tried to contact VRBO and this property office to talk about it. There is no action except creating an issue ticket from VRBO.

This place has the best view of any of the places we stayed during our 2 week trip across the Hawaiian islands. The condo was spacious and fit our families needs perfectly. No air conditioning but plenty of fans and are fires like towels and beach equipment was a plus.

We came here for a family vacation. We had 8 adults and we fit very comfy here. The condo is beautifully decorated and well equipped. The location is perfect and watching sunsets from the lanai was one of my favorite things to do. The property manager Tammy is the best! She was very welcoming and accommodating. I hope to return to Maui and will definitely plan on staying at Makani Sands.

Perfect setup for our family and literally ON THE WATER! Pictures and listing details are true and accurate representation of property. My family of 6--my 15yo twins, my 25yo daughter and her husband, and my husband and me - had a perfect amount of space. Very clean and great layout. Loved the two lanais overlooking the water! Temps stayed about 80 degrees throughout our stay. Despite no AC, every room had a ceiling fan and with all the windows open there was an AMAZING cross-breeze throughout the whole unit both upstairs and down. I was never once uncomfortable temperature-wise. The motorized lanai shades were truly appreciated during the bright afternoon sun times, as well.
Great location on the water with snorkeling just steps away. Pay close attention around sunset and you are sure to see turtles swimming close by! (They had just finished redoing the steps down to the water the day before we arrived, so access to the ocean was super easy. If you look up the daily tide report for low tide times...that's the best and easiest time to go in.) The community chairs, lounge, and BBQ area just above the ocean was a great place to relax, too. I noticed how everything was cleaned and hosed down each morning by grounds workers. Despite the seemingly small parking lot, we never had a problem finding a spot each evening when we returned from our days out. We are hoping to return to Hawaii/Maui in a year or so, and would definitely consider returning to Makani Sands.

Excellent property and location. The ability to get right in the ocean and swim with the turtles was absolutely awesome. The facility met all our needs and was nicely decorated. Our location allowed us easy access to tours, Lahaina, restaurants or just plain grilling out on the property was excellent.
