We love Makani Sands and have stayed here over a half dozen times over the years. This unit is great for a family with young kids and the kitchen is well stocked with tools if you enjoy cooking.

This place is a little older and quieter than some of the places to stay in west Maui. This was our second time here and we love it. Please don’t stay here so it’s easier for us to get it when we want it lol.

We go to Maui annually, and we stay in this unit. Pretty much plan our vacation around its availability. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need, including a cupcake pan (which I've never used). New furniture in the living room and it's so comfortable, as is the king size bed. But my favorite thing about the unit is the "high" chairs on the lanai. I'm short and these chairs elevate me so that I do not have the blue bar directly in my line of sight.

The condo is well supplied with cooking gear, spices, and bathroom amenities. The washer and dryer was a life saver for our extended visit. Can't go wrong at the Makani Sands.

We have come to Maui every year or sometimes a couple times a year since 1990. We have stayed at just about every place on the west side and this place did not disappoint. Owner was easily reachable and flexible when we arrived a day early. Like we always say, if you are looking for someone to come out to the pool and say "may I bring you another drink" you may want to go to one of the big resorts, but you will deal with crowds and with little Trevor's temper tantrums and all the noise. If you want the real experience, and to be lulled to sleep every night by the surf on the water, this is the place. Fully equipped. The only thing not in the kitchen was a crock pot so we bought one and left it for you in appreciation for an always-good experience. See you next time.

Makani Sands was the perfect spot for us on our first trip to Hawaii and 21st wedding anniversary. The grounds are beautiful and the view is one in a million. Our room was just as advertised, perhaps even better than expected! We cannot wait to come back again! Thank you for an amazing week in paradise!

Yes, this is the place you want to stay in Maui. We had a studio with an ocean view. It was perfect. The bed was comfortable, the shower was excellent, the kitchen was well-equipped and everything worked as expected. The best part was the lanai that looked out over the ocean. We could see whales from our balcony. Tiny beach in front, various restaurants and shops within walking distance.

We came to Maui for my husband's birthday & his 1st time to the Island. It was my second time and I had stayed at Makani Sands before so knew I had to book again for this trip. The views from the Lanai are amazing. The grounds are beautiful, and the management are friendly & informative. The condo is super quiet. Everyone really respects quite time. Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable including binoculars to sit and watch all the whales breaching in the distance. We even saw turtles swim in by the sand bar. We had a fun, relaxing stay & when in Maui we will book Makani Sands again.

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at the Makani Sands despite a major construction project on the grounds. Apparently, the beach is seasonal as there was not much exposed sand during our visit. But it is close to all my favorite Maui beaches. I'm looking forward to re-visiting the property next year upon completion of the seawall restoration.

Beautiful, well appointed condo and gorgeous views! We had the time of our lives in Maui on our family vacation. Makani Sands is a welcoming place to stay with beautiful grounds and a heated pool. Tammy does an incredible job managing the property and making guests feel like they are at their home away from home. We had the trip of a lifetime. Unit 207 is well stocked and has beautiful traditional Hawaii artwork and decor. Aloha until next time and Mahalo for such an incredible experience.

We were extremely happy with our stay at Makani Sands
It is in a quiet area, but close to anything you may want to do
The bus stops right in front of the property
We could watch the amazing sunsets right from our balcony
The pool was clean and rarely used, so we had it to ourselves
The property could use a few upgrades, but very clean and provided everything we needed

Makni Sand in Lahaina, is a hidden gem of paradise. The condo was great.The location is prime in being oceanfront with great views. The grounds are terrific. When you head out from your condo, downstairs onto the terrace it is like you are going through a luau. Great views of Moloka'i and Lana'i. Everyday we went for a swim in the ocean and saw turtles. Prime location for turtles. At night one can enjoy the sunset and early in the morning the sunrise. We enjoyed eating our meals out on the lanai as it was so tranquil. At night leaving the one of the sliding doors open, you would get the ocean breeze and hear the waves, which was peaceful.I would stay here again.

We loved staying here. Woke up to the sound of the waves each morning, and loved walking right downstairs to the beach. It was awesome to see turtles everyday, and watch each new guests’ excited reaction. The place was clean and stocked with any kitchens you would need to cook there. Located within walking distance of badass coffee house.

We have stayed at Makani Sands several times and each time I am thrilled with the view, comfort and hospitality of the staff. The units are clean and comfortable and you don't have to deal with all of the "stuff" of a large condo unit. Hope to stay there many more times.
