We had a great time and the property was great! The ONLY issue we had is that it got uncomfortable during the day due to heat and humidity. The air flow wasn’t the best. But the property was beautiful and the amenities were exactly as stated. Would definitely recommend!

Overall the place is very nice, modern and spacious inside. The patios are not well taken care of.
The host was not very helpful. We didn’t receive any emails with instructions for whatever reason and they made no effort to send to another email or to answer simple questions.
The condo had everything we needed beach gear, kitchen items but bring a spatula because they only have one and it comes apart when you use it!
Again overall the place looks great.

What a gorgeous condo! It fit our family of 6 perfectly.
All three bedrooms had its own lanai & were well used by us. Seeing turtles swimming just below us & having one sun itself in view, was wonderful. Not to mention the many, many humpback whales were able to see from the lanai with binoculars. Snorkeling at Olowalu was the best! The ATV rides were so much fun, pricey but worth the views & getting muddy!
The condo was well kept, well appointed & so very comfortable. The complex's beach was thick sand so good exercise in walking it. The grills were kept spotless & very convenient. Having a wash/dryer in the unit was a God send! We loved it & hope to stay here again in the future! Loved Maui!

My family and I were family comfortable staying at the Sands of Kahana! The apartment was clean, spacious, and had lots of kitchen amenities and space so we could cook in during our stay! There is a small local beach just steps outside the apartment, and you can easily access some of the more famous beaches on the West Shore. Would love to visit again soon!

The layout of the property is very nice. However, the property is in need of general maintenance and repair. There are 3 separate lanai's are very nice but in need of repair and cleaning. Some of the furniture is worn and some are in need of repair. Some specific items. 1 chair and 2 stools are about to fall apart. 2nd floor bathroom sink facet is loose. Some lights need to are out or are blinking. Shower curtain is moldy and needs to be replaced.
The overall complex needs maintenance and repair.

The Sands of Kahana was a perfect location for our family vacation. The description and reviews provided were a good summary of the facility. Some updating is necessary but overall the facility was perfect. Seeing sea turtles and whales from the balcony was fantastic. Could not find a better location.

We really enjoyed our stay! However didn’t like that they only supplied one roll of paper towel for an entire week stay. They said they only provide a starter amount! 🙄 with the amount of $ ya pay to stay here I would think they would supply the basic house hold items needed. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Our extended family of 8 throughly enjoyed our time at Sanda of Kahana...the view is absolutely breathtaking...watch multiple types of whales play and swim in the cove between the three islands was unbelievable 8 stories high up...finishing the evening was seeing a beautiful sunset into Lanai was just gorgeous. The accommodations were comfortable, all the amenities were great, and the home had everything to make and prepare a home cooked meal. We would not hesitate to stay again when we return to Maui. Thank you so much for making your home available to us.

Great place for our bigger group! The Penthouse was beautiful!The Beach house Bar and Grill had delicious food and drinks. Loved the Coconut shrimp! Even saw some whales off of the beach. My only complaint was that we had to check out by 10am. It seems a little early for check out.

The pictures don’t do this property justice! Absolutely stunning views and stunning property. Unfortunately we had some issues with the property owners that I wish were handled in a different manner. When we arrived at this property we were informed that the elevator was down and we were on the penthouse suite (8th floor). The elevator ended up being down for the duration of our stay. I contacted the management group to see if there was They could do and they said they would give us our money back and we could find somewhere else to stay as we were already getting too good of a deal on the place. I did not appreciate the managements lack of willingness to help us come up with a solution and instead just telling us leaving was our only option. Other guests staying at private properties at Kahana Sands told us they were able to be moved to lower floors to lessen the stairs. I had 2 60 year old guests with me that struggled with the stairs and this definitely put a damper on the trip. I understand the elevator is out of managements control, but some compassion would’ve been nice.

We had 2 additional bedrooms downstairs for ourselves and grandpa, each with its own bathroom. We loved having the kitchen and being able to cook some meals at the condo. The views were amazing! Balcony overlooking the ocean where we saw sea turtles swimming every day! The beach chairs and floats were great to have access to bring to the beach. Beautiful and comfortable furnishings throughout. Would definite stay here again!

The pictures don't do this property justice. Absolutely Beautiful an well equipped - very clean too.Mater bathroom is right out of a magazine.
walking across the street for food or beverages was super simple,
I loved all the high end touches and appliances !
We had stopped at Costco to load up on food and drinks-but the refrigerator didn't keep anything cool and we had to eat out and get ice for 5 of the 10 days. When property mgmt did get a technician to come fix it, he said the coils were dirty and that's why it didn't get to the correct temperature. I am still waiting for a response for some reimbursement as I requested.,.

Overall this is a lovely place to stay and would stay here again. The beach access and amenities fit our needs just perfectly. The location was great. One big drawback: the bird poop on the lanai of the main floor guest room eliminated its use. While we understand mother nature has her way, Cleaning and improvement needs to occur or advertising needs to say one lanai is unusable. Perhaps the owner could offer removable outdoor furniture covering to keep the furniture usable. At least then footwear and not touching the guardrail would make it usable. Minor insect issues (ants/bugs) but we have had that on a previous Hawaii visit and can deal. Management easy to communicate with and quickly addressed bug issue as best as they could but offered only an apology about the bird poop.

This condo was perfect for our two families. It had the most spectacular views - two islands out in the distance, surrounded by ocean; view of the beach below, and beautiful sunsets, all from our balconies. Each room has a balcony with seating and views of the ocean. Large windows throughout the house for amazing views. Rooms, closets and bathrooms were spacious; the dining table was enough for all of us to eat together. Mattresses were extremely comfortable in all rooms. We cooked a few meals on the grills outside - there were plenty of them available. We could also see sea turtles swimming in the water below, looking out from the balcony. We enjoyed using the beach chairs in the closet. And we were happy shampoo/conditioner/soap was provided, so we didn't have to pack that. There were also some trash bags and some laundry detergent there. The washer/dryer helped immensely. Floors were solid flooring throughout, so it was easy to sweep. Check in/out process was simple and smooth. We brought our own beach towels, and bought safe sunscreen once on the island (most sunscreens are banned in HI, so it was safest to buy there). We also bought snorkel gear once there, and left it in the beach wagon in the closet for others to use. Every day we were able to snorkel from the beach and see sea turtles! The pool was nice, right by the beach. There were always chairs available by the beach. Within walking distance to coffee shop, general store and a few restaurants.

We convinced 3 friends to go with us to Maui (hard sell) so we chose this place because it had plenty of room. It is a clean, comfortable place with an awesome view and balconies for all bedrooms. We sat out on the deck and watched turtles and swimmers in the water below. The 3 beach chairs and large cooler were very helpful on day excursions (beach umbrella is broken). We were worried that the apartment sized water heater would run out of hot water so we all took quick showers, but we never ran out. A couple of issues we found - The balcony for the lower north bedroom had water on it that the birds liked, so bird poop covered the window and patio. The shower in the lower south bedroom has two plates with waterfall holes in the bottom, but there is a crack between the plates on one side so water sprays where you don't want it to. We found a few little bugs (could be ants, but are smaller than sugar ants) in the lower north bathroom, and a few in the kitchen. Not enough to cause alarm, and we made sure to kill the ones we found and keep crumbs picked up. All of the furniture is in great shape, and the beds were all very comfortable. The location was nice for many of the activities we did (beach, scuba lessons, surf lessons, Lahaina downtown), but longer drives (40+ minutes) for some places (Road to Hana, Haleakala, Kehei, airport). The complex where this place is located is very nice with a helpful concierge, beach lounge chairs, pool, restaurant, beach equipment rental, sand showers, and underground parking right near the elevator. The air conditioning and ceiling fans worked well in every room and an extra floor fan found in one closet was helpful as well. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the utensils and appliances you find in any kitchen, and the laundry washer and dryer were newer and worked well. Overall, it was a great place and we would come back again.

Absolutely loved this 3 bedroom 3 full bathroom luxury condo. Ocean views from every bedroom and balcony. 2 bedrooms downstairs and 1 large bedroom with the extra bed/futon upstairs. AC worked perfect the entire time in all rooms. We never had to call for any type of service or need. It was great to have the restaurant and bar on site just downstairs and quick easy access to the beach right outside. Would highly recommend staying here.

This listing was highly deceiving. Although the views truly are beautiful, the condo is in terrible condition. Just to list a few:
- Ants everywhere, woke up to ants even on our toothbrushes
- Sevral roaches spotted.
- Floor boards lifting, causing major tripping hazard.
- All air filters clogged and covered in dust.
- Meldew in all the showers.
- Water damage on baseboards causing them to lift off the wall.
- Patios covered in thick meldew.
For the price paid this was absolutely unacceptable. Reached out regarding the issue and asking for a partial refund and got nothing back. I have pictures and proof of everything that was listed above.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. From the moment you walk in you realize that it is better than the pics you see on the website. The view from the three balconies will instantly put you in vacation mode. We spent a lot of time out on the balconies watching whales breach, slap their tales and flukes, beautiful sunsets, and turtles right off the beach.
Everything worked to include the AC, full size washer and dryer, coffee pot (very important), we did not have a single complaint.
The condo is not too far from one of the best places you'll ever snorkle at, Honolua Bay.
We had no issues sleeping 10 with all the beds available.
We will definitely be staying here again during our next trip to Maui.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent vacation in this lovely condo. The resort itself is older and a bit rundown, but once in the condominium you forget all of that, because the views are amazing!! In addition to the spectacular views, the beach area offers an up close view of large turtles and colorful fish about 20 feet from the shore. So amazing!
Th Grill on property offered a casual place to pop into after a long day at the beach. The prices were good and the servers were all very friendly. All and all we would definitely stay here again, as well as recommend it to friends.

We stayed 7 nights at Sands of Kahana #381. The unit was beautifully decorated, well stocked, and clean, with gorgeous views (rainbows and sea turtles too!) overlooking the water! The 2 bedrooms on the main floor were kings and there was a sleeper sofa as well. The bedroom on the upper level had a king, a futon (recommended for kids), and a full sized bed (that was not mentioned in the description. Each bedroom had a lanai. There was a parking structure (tight spots) and outdoor parking as well. The attached restaurant had very good food as well. Close to other shopping areas and restaurants, although a car would be needed. Communication with Kim and her team was effortless. They were always quick to respond and very helpful regarding questions and requests. A perfect place to stay for a family vacation or to share with other couples. I would definitely stay here again!

This unit was exactly as pictured - actually better! The views were unbeatable from EVERY room in the unit. The furnishings and decor were beautiful and very "beachy". The A/C was AMAZING and worked so well in all 4 rooms. We wanted for nothing! The master bathroom was so beautiful! My only "critique" is that the two other bathrooms need updating to match the rest of the place and Sands of Kahana could use an overall facelift and cleanup of the outside (e.g. the planter areas on the balconies). But, we would stay here again in a heartbeat and will next time we go to Maui! Everything was so perfect we never even had to make contact with the property management company during our stay!

Beautiful, clean, and well-maintained condo with outstanding views. We had 3 couples in our group and each couple had their own master bedroom with private balconies and bathrooms, perfect when you wanted some privacy or time to oneself. Fully functional kitchen with all amenities and conveniences of home. The washer/dryer came in handy during our two week stay. We were also provided a wagon with beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and boogie board for those days we wanted beach time. The location is a short drive to Lahania where we kayaked, ate, and shopped. You do need a rental car as many of our excursions required us to drive to a pick up location. Activities we participated in was Lahaina Luau, Kayaking, Sunset dinner cruise, Road to Hana, and Biking down Haleakala. For dining we visited Mama's Fish House in Paia.best dining experience ever....but pricey and you do need to make reservations 2 months in advance. Duke's Beach house and Lahaina Fish Market were also outstanding. Overall, best Hawaiian vacation I could ask for.
