SUMMARY OF KEY UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. 12 feet from the water and offering a 180-degree oceanfront ground-floor experience. Maui Sands has only 55 condos on its 3 acres, earning it the title of having the lowest condo-density of any oceanfront condo in Honokowai. This means no crowds and plenty of space for peace and quiet.
2. Gigabit wireless Internet package, 86” 4K TV, 5 speakers in-ceiling surround sound system, and massage chair provide the enjoyment and comfort that possibly rivals your own home. HD cable channels with PVR & Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ subscriptions for guests.
3. Reverse osmosis drinking water filtration, chlorine filtration in the shower, zero VOC paints, BPA-free glass Tupperware, Teflon-free frying pans, and Vitamix blender make our condo ideal for families and the health-conscious. West Maui’s only health-food grocery store is just 400 yards away.
4. 100% organic cotton linens, bamboo towels, 100% natural latex toppers, efficient appliances like the double-oven stove, bamboo trims, FSC certified lumber used in construction, and carbon offsets purchased annually, make our condo a very eco-conscious choice.
5. Safe swimming area in both the ocean and pool, the Kahekilli Marine Reserve fronts Maui Sands and beyond the reserve is the Hawaii Humpback Whale Sanctuary, where humpbacks are a common site from December to April. Spinner dolphins, Sea turtles, and Hawaiian monk seals can be spotted here right from the lanai year-round.

"Maui Sands was built back in a time when property wasn’t as expensive and developers took the time and money to make sure that their condos were surrounded by lush landscaping." - Fodors Travel Guide
----------------------------------
LOCATION: There are two buildings at Maui Sands that are direct oceanfront: buildings 4 & 5. Building 5 is backed by a parking lot, our condo is located in building 4 which is backed by a mango tree & expansive lawn making it the quietest building in the complex. Building 4 is also the closest building to the water (12ft from the condo) and this condo (4B) is a ground floor unit and just 50ft to the steps down to the water. You'll see abundant marine life at Maui Sands thanks to the Kahekili Marine Reserve that fronts the property. It prohibits the hunting & capture of many species of Hawaiian fish which benefits snorkelers & animal lovers! Beyond that is the Hawaiian Humpback Whale Sanctuary with the densest concentration of humpbacks in all of the Hawaiian Islands. The double reef system out front breaks the waves into bathtub calmness during low tides making it one of the best spots in Maui for toddlers to play in safety, Check out 4B's live webcam to catch some breaching humpback whales in the winter months or sea turtles and dolphins. The webcam is attached to the front of the lanai so the view from 4B will be exactly what the webcam shows.
AMENITIES: #4B is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath condo and can be made upon request to have 1 king and 2 twin beds or 2 king beds. A comfortable 2” 100% natural latex king-size topper is used when converting the 2 twin beds to a king so it becomes a real king-size bed. Above the bedroom doors are bamboo louvers allowing more trade winds to flow through & let you fall asleep to the gentle sound of the surf so your bedroom door can be closed for privacy. The bedroom linens and blankets are 100% organic cotton. For larger parties, the queen-sized sofa bed in the living room comes with a special memory foam mattress which offers a more comfortable sleeping experience than a traditional sofa bed spring mattresses.
The bathroom shower is 60% larger than standard showers and features a beautiful step-in river rock tiled shower with a built-in bench and chlorine filtration (removal) system. (There is lots of chlorine used in Maui's water.) Both bathrooms are finished with granite counters and bamboo cabinetry,
The kitchen has beautiful bamboo cabinetry & granite counters. It has an oversized large & convenient kitchen sink, tons of dishes, glass Tupperware, cast iron and ceramic fry pans and stainless steel pots & pans to help you with your Hawaii meals & avoid BPA plastics and carcinogenic Teflon. The double oven stove and fridge with ice maker were both selected because of their extremely efficient properties. There’s also a beverage fridge under the counter if needed. The kitchen is equipped with a reverse osmosis filtration system and stainless steel water bottles so you don’t have to worry about buying bottled water or suffering from the horrible local water on tap. Make the best tropical smoothies using the supplied powerful Vitamix blenders or enjoy the best coffee with our stainless steel french press or traditional coffee maker. There’s plenty of seating along the kitchen counter, in the dining area, or out on the lanai (dining area and chaise lounges) for everyone to feel comfortable.
The living room area has been set up to be a fun & comfortable place! There is a 86” Ultra HD 4K TV on the wall with HD PVR and Netflix, HULU+, Disney+, ESPN+, Youtube, etc, and a Blu-Ray player. Guests rave that the picture quality combined with the in-ceiling 5 speaker surround sound system make movie watching rival what they have at home! There is also a popcorn maker to complete the movie night experience. If you find yourself with a kink in your back from the flight over or a pulled muscle from that snorkeling trip, then a massage chair can be found in the living room to help you relax & unwind while dozing off to the sound of the surf.
A few other amenities to note: secure and fast 1-gigabit private wifi internet service, beach chairs, snorkel & beach gear, coolers, umbrellas, beach towels, child stroller, 6 yoga mats and blocks, highchair & playpen with padding that can be used as a crib, cooking spices, rice maker, Vitamix, ice maker & luggage scale to name a few.
We thought long & hard about how to make our condo as environmentally friendly & health-conscious as possible. Our eco-friendly mission is to have our guests feel good that their Hawaii vacation is the greenest possible.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Aloha!

First, you walk in and the view is breathtaking. Then, you notice how clean and well stocked this condo is. And the massage chair is amazing! We really enjoyed our stay here - walk to great coffee and a nice little grocery store. The beach is more of a snorkeling beach than a play-in-the-sand beach, but there are plenty of sandy beaches nearby. Host is great, too! We highly recommend this condo and would definitely want to stay here again if we’re lucky enough to go back to Maui!

Beautiful, wonderful, relaxing, quiet property.
Everything was just awesome.
Ryan was great at communicating.
Cannot think of one thing we did not like or appreciate.
The views from property are incredible. 12 feet away from the water.

Being able to wake up and enjoy my coffee watching the waves and whales jump was perfect. Having space outside on the lanai with a little grassy area was great for the kids to stretch their legs. The grounds were peaceful and quiet. This was our first time to Maui and we couldn't have chosen a better place for our home away from home. Ryan was an amazing host. Thank you for allowing me and my family stay at your wonderful place!!

We had a great time here and enjoyed watching the ocean every day. Even saw some whales.

My husband and I and his parents stayed in the condo for 2 weeks. Ryan, the owner was very responsive! The shower head was faulty and Ryan fixed it immediately.
The condo is 2 BR and is well stocked. My husband used the massage chair every day. It was an awesome benefit to have and one of the driving factors we chose this particular condo.
We stayed in early February and the whale watching from the lanai was beautiful!
Our only criticisms are that there is only ONE parking space for the unit. We needed 2 spaces and parking on the street was not an option given we have had our rental car broken into before on the island. The other is the 2 bedrooms are located next to the community walkway so the bedroom drapes needed to be drawn all the time making the rooms dark.
The unit didn't have a BBQ nor a washer/dryer but the onsite BBQ and laundry mat were clean, well maintained and very easy to use.
All in all, it was a wonderful stay. Just wished the weather was better. It was definitely an unusual year for rain fall.

Whales from lanai every day. The listing is accurate and this place has every toy you would need to enjoy the stay down to a stroller and high chair albeit no boogie board. Owner very responsive to all my petty nuances and check in exactly easy as described. The operation manual is very detailed. But don’t forget to print the parking pass before coming since no available printer. You could not ask for a better vacation experience

This property was clean and very comfortable. The lanai view is so beautiful. If you love waking up and watching the sunrise while looking at Molokai and the sound of the waves then this is the place for you. Owner was so easy to work with. The location is also close to everything in the Kaanapali area. Would stay here again.

We were blown away when we woke up the first morning to that incredible view, amazing!! Ryan & Carol's place was perfect for our family of four. Beds were comfortable, unit was clean and lots of extras including beach chairs, cooler etc to use on the beach. The kitchen was really well stocked for someone (like me) who likes to prepare meals. Ryan was super helpful when we had a minor issue with the shower and answered all questions very quickly. Sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings was one our favourite things to do. Thank-you for making our stay perfect. We would definitely book Ryan and Carol's place again.

We’re so glad we found this property and hope to stay here every time we come to Maui!! 🌸 This was our second time staying here - and was even more gorgeous than we remembered. The view, spacious condo, and location are top notch! Relaxing on the back patio with the ocean view was our favorite pastime. The Fish Market, grocery store, foods trucks, and fully stocked ABC are all within easy walking distance for quick dining or stocking up. Ryan is very communicative and easy to get in touch with as well. No need to look any further when staying in Maui!

Good times and great place. You’ll be hard pressed to find a place with a better view or location. Relaxing on the lanai with our coffee every morning and enjoying the view was definitely a highlight. Access to the beach is steps away for some snorkeling where we saw fish and turtles. Good food is across the street. Place was clean. Has a complete kitchen. We borrowed the beach umbrella and cooler for our day trips. Ryan is very responsive. You get the point. Just book it…

Beyond our expectations. Snorkeling right off our back patio was amazing. Perfect location to enjoy West Maui. Owner Ryan was very communicative and easy to work with. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

I can not say enough wonderful things about this property. Very clean, beautiful inside and out, comfortable beds and well stocked (thank you ryan for even having a French press!) Absolutely went beyond every expectation and perfect location to everything. Some of our favorite activities were boogie boarding at Slaughterhouse beach(10 min away and great for older kids), surf lessons 15 minutes away with Rivers to the Sea company, Lanai snorkeling tour with Trilogy (15 min), Old Lahaina Luau (15 min) and road to hana and halakalea sunset hike (both an hour away). We have been anticipating this trip for over 2 years and it was absolutely perfect. We will most definitely be back!

The property was fantastic. You just can’t get a better view of the ocean. We saw so many whales during our stay. All and all we enjoyed our vacation and would highly recommend this condominium.

Really enjoyed sipping coffee and watching whales from the Lanai. Swimming from property is not good, but with so many beautiful beaches nearby we just hit a new one each day. Very well equipped and well run. Great for family of four.

Our trip was two years in the making thanks to the 2020 travel restrictions but it was well worth it. Ryan was so amazing navigating the crazy covid rescheduling process. Overall, we loved our stay at Ryan's condo. Worked perfectly for our family ( 2 adults, 4yr old, and 2yr old) on every level. We enjoyed several mangos from the huge tree in front of the condo and my kids loved looking for lizards, snails, and butterflies throughout the property. It was wonderful that there was a highchair, stroller, and pac n play(although it was ancient and needs to be replaced.) We definitely plan on visiting again.

This is a great condo, easy access, wonderful view. We enjoyed our stay and were granted visits from many turtles and a monk seal. The pool is very nice clean and warm. The grounds are beautiful old traditional Hawaii with nature palms, fruit trees and flowers. Plenty of amenities and shops/good are within walking distance.

Our family of 3 very much enjoyed our stay here in late April. One of us was working from home. As it states in the condo description, the wifi speed was strong. The place had everything we needed: well stocked kitchen for cooking, boogie boards, beach towels and chairs, even a stroller for those that need it. There is a A/C unit in the living room/kitchen area, and ceiling as well as floor fans for the 2 bedrooms. The stone lined shower floor felt amazing on your feet. Our favorite part of this place was the shoreline and tide pools just below the sea wall. Check tide schedule, because when it’s high tide it’s likely not safe to swim as water comes all the way to sea wall. Don’t forget to print your parking pass before coming. Also highly recommend going to Kaanapali beach nearby. Safeway 10 minutes drive down the road or more local supermarket 3 min or so down the road. ABC store next to property. Washer and dryers on property. A roller laundry basket is provided in the apartment, which it easy to cart our laundry to and from the condo. No quarters, no problem. You can download an app and add money to your account to start each load. Thanks Ryan!!
