Makani Sands was the perfect space for our family vacation to Maui. The balcony added a picturesque backdrop to our dinners. The best part was the neighborhood green sea turtles that visited daily. There were some pesky termites, but only showed up once or twice during our stay. Super soft towels and clean house made the welcome to the island very warm. Tammy went above and beyond for us and we would certainly come back! Thank you.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall room was ok. Dated, humid and a bit smelly (likely due to carpeting combined with no conditioning). That said, price for a three bedroom was reasonable. With no air conditioning you had to leave windows open and it’s pretty noisy with the waves so close to the ocean. Outside pool area was well maintained. Back area by water - only one BBQ worked, but we made do. There were some cockroaches in the first day, but management sprayed and I think we only saw one more after that. Again, location is great with lots of restaurants, beaches and shops close by.Would I stay there again. Yes - but only with air conditioning and a few upgrades. (It was my fault that I didn’t realize there was no air conditioning until after we arrived.)

The accommodations were excellent! We whale watched right off the balcony. My husband watched 10 whales breach out of the water on Christmas day from our balcony! There is an elevator which was not listed in the listing. We were thankful for it!

Tammy was such an amazing host and made my birthday trip a special experience. The location and view was breathtaking. Being able to snorkel steps outside our door was an incredible experience. The property was clean and spacious for our party. We thoroughly enjoyed the area and eating at the food trucks down the street was awesome!

The condo is very clean and perfect for larger families. The location is great as well (close proximity to shopping and quick dining options)! The lack of A/C was really tough and onsite parking is only for one car. We had to park one of our vehicles several miles up the road on our first night but thankfully the property manager for the condos next door was gracious enough to let us park one of our vehicles on his property after that. This property is right on the ocean but recent construction has left no beach so we really couldn't get in the water but did enjoy watching the sea turtles swimming around as we sat on the balcony. The property management was on holiday during our stay so we had no interaction with them - except for a 30 second interaction to let them know we were leaving when we checked out.

Great to have 3 separate bedrooms with a shared living room. The kids slept downstairs (half bath in the common area). Upstairs ocean-facing bedroom has a great view of the ocean and neighboring islands. The attached balcony is great; kept it closed at night due to ocean sounds. Convenient access to amenities.

Mahalo Tammy and crew for everything!

Perfect unit 309 for a family reunion. Nice ocean view better than a lot of hotel rooms. Warm manager on site to help. They even provide you a handbag for you to carry beach towels. And you can go into the beach and ocean directly from the building, not acrossing a street or walk long.

We were very satisfied with the condo and location as well as the checking in and out. Beautiful views. The condo had available some beach chairs, cooler, wagon and some snorkeling gear and beach toys. Small Beach right out front of condo people swimming and snorkeling right out front. Seen several sea turtles there as well. Would highly recommend it.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Makani Sands. We were worried that there wasn’t going to be a beach in front of the condo, but where pleasantly surprised to see the clear blue water, turtles, and SAND. The condo was perfect for a family of 6. The rooms were spacious and clean. There was always a nice breeze which made it ok without the air conditioning. We would love to stay again.

This is a great property. We stayed here twice now, in different units. The condos a spacious enough, very home feeling. Everything is clean inside and out and both times the staff were very friendly. It’s way better than a hotel in terms of atmosphere and convenience. Parking is easy and there are plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. We’ll be back.

It's a nice place, but lacks regular maintenance. The small kitchen is missing several expected items. There is no ocean access (although there should be) so that was disappointing. More than one (broken) beach chair would have been nice.

We were extremely pleased with our stay at Makani Sands. The unit we rented (309) was recently updated and was very comfortable for our family of 5. The location of the property is outstanding as you are just a few steps from the ocean and are very close to shopping and restaurants. Additionally, the property manager went over and above to pack and ship our bags home when an unexpected brush fire on the island prevented us from getting back to the condo during our last day in Maui.

We saw turtles pretty much every day and at multiple times. Location was handy for getting around. The place could use a few fix ups; we noticed the cupboards and doors were a bit beat up. Some of the glass around the lanai areas were cracked or broken. But overall this place is excellent - I will come back next time i'm in Maui.

Our family was in awe upon arriving at the townhouse! 2 balconies overlooking the ocean with sea turtles and whales in view, rolling waves and a sea breeze to lull you to sleep at night, we never closed the windows or screen doors. All the comforts of home plus snorkel gear, water shoes, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and much more provided. Centrally located to many activities and the office person and grounds manager were wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location for whale and turtle watching. Amazing view. Would definitely stay here again. Units are on the smaller side, but we had 6 adults stay comfortably. Pool closed at 9:00pm and BBQ area closed at 10:00pm which was a little early when you are out sight seeing all day.

We had a great time at Makani Sands. The unit was well equipped, and it has a really great view. We wouldn't hesitate to re-book at this location. Only small downside was that the carpet was damp from cleaning for the first few days and the ceiling fan in the master bedroom wasn't working, although they had someone in to fix it after 4 days - so the second half was cooler than the first half.
