Our family of five truly enjoyed our stay at Kihei Sands. There was a feeling of staying at a private beach, the complex was just the right size, quiet and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. We were able to walk to the best shaved ice (Ululani), bakery (Sugar Beach Bake Shop) and farmers market. What a great experience for our young granddaughter who loved the waves.

This was just an overnight rental for us between when we landed and the next day when we checked into our house rental. I chose this condo over others because it looked easier to get to vs the larger complexes (large group, lots of luggage to haul in and out!) and that turned out to be correct. We were a family of 5, all adult size people and we just needed a nice place to sleep that didn't cost as much as having to get 2 hotel rooms to fit us all. The unit was clean, they had snacks on the table which was super nice & we all devoured immediately because we were starving, the beach outside was great and they have some tables and chairs with umbrellas to sit on the patio by the beach which was all wonderful for weary travelers. Both bedrooms were a roomy size, the living space was very limited. For a family with small children or 2 couples this would be a great rental size. The only hiccup was when we couldn't find any extra bedding for the sofa bed and I didn't have a non-emergency contact to ask. I wasn't going to call the emergency contact numbers listed, because it wasn't what I would call an emergency but it was an inconvenience. Also it's good to know that if you will be relying on the sofa bed for your stay at this unit, the coffee table is very large, heavy and hard to move for the bed to fold open. Once the bed is open and the coffee table is moved, there's no floor space left so that's something to consider depending on how you plan to use the bed situation.

The property was very nice. Quality of the accommodations were exceptional. Quiet area. Other families staying were respectful and friendly. Property is right in the ocean. Other areas of Maui were easy to access. Parking was convenient and always had open spaces. Free morning coffee on the patio was great.

Perfect location on Sugar Beach with beach and pool right at your doorstep. Beach is sandy and perfect for kids. Great patio location with community vibe - we used the grill and plenty of boogie boards, pool noodles, beach chairs and umbrellas available for use during our stay. Gorgeous sunsets and very friendly staff. Unit was clean and plenty of towels and linens provided. Comfy beds. We'll be back!

We loved this condo! The condo complex is beautiful, and the condo itself was perfect. We stayed with our three kids, and we all agreed it was a great place. I loved that the beach was literally just steps away from the lanai. While we were there new barbecues were installed, and they are super nice.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at this condo. First they provided everything and more that was needed for our family of 4. The place was clean and super friendly and helped us with all our questions. They also are right on the beach where you can take a walkway and go from condo to beach. We have zero complaints and will definitely be returning in the future.

The Kihei Sands Beachfront Condos were perfect for our family vacation. The complex is meticulously maintained, and the two units we stayed in were very clean. The beautiful beach is only steps away. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect location. The staff is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This is the best location for direct beach access. The rental is right on the beach and the pool looks over the beach. The host was very friendly. The property is bigger than the pictures. It fit our family of 4 perfectly. The only issue we had was we received a complaint about the kids running around too early in the morning which is very noisy for the condo below us. We tried very hard to keep the noise down, but with the time change the kids are up so early that maybe not the best condo to stay in with small children if they are early risers.

There were six of us who stayed at this condo and we were very pleased with our stay here. The condo is very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. We were so close to the beach and the patio area was so very nice to spend the mornings and evenings viewing the beach. The beds are comfy and was just enough room for all of us. The only complaint we have is the upstairs loft would have been better if there was a solid wall instead of open. Sound traveled up and down and sometimes it was hard to hear the TV downstairs when the TV upstairs was on. Other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay. We recommend it!

Reviewer Comments:
Kihei Sands is just like I remembered it from as far back as my first stay in 1978. While the property has withstood the tests of time, it has always been well updated, clean and neat, very well managed and a super friendly place with a spectacular view. It is very central on the island of Maui just far enough tawau from the airport and a great base for all of the day trips on Maui. We were there Aug 8th when Lahaina burned and there were many other fires nearby. Our hearts go out to the people of Maui! But, you should know that Kihei Sands was not affected directly and continues operations during recovery. I would go back anytime! There is so much of Maui that was not affected. Maui depends on tourism. Support Kihei Sands by keeping your booking or making one. You won’t be disappointed.

This place was a little gem. We had never travelled to Maui before and we were very happy with the location of the unit! It was a little further outside of the main Kihei area which was nice because it was quieter. We did drive into Kihei every day which was a super quick 10 minute drive. Because the complex was so small it was super easy to walk a few steps to the pool, beach and patio area. The unit was small, but perfect for what we needed. The beds were very comfy (minus the pull out sofa bed - which was to be expected, but worked fine for one child). The kitchen was stocked very well with almost everything we needed. Having a casserole dish would have been handy, but we made do without. There was no parking pass in the unit, however the front desk at the complex provided one for us the day after we checked in. Sugar beach was very nice... smaller waves for boogie boarding, but the kids really enjoyed it regardless. The complex has a handful of boogie boards for use as well as sand toys for the kids as well. It was so nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas in the unit - we used those daily. Overall this was an incredible vacation and we were very happy with this rental. Would definitely recommend it.

What a great place to call home for a few days. The beach access is amazing and we loved all the toys/chairs/boogie boards the property has to borrow. The condo itself was perfect for our family of 4.

We had a great stay at Kihei Sands. Location was perfect. Nice and quiet complex steps from the beach. Our unit had beach chairs, umbrellas and even a cooler. Kitchen was very well stocked. We originally had booked for 6 adults, but one couple backed out. It would have been pretty tight with 6, but was perfect for 4. Complex is very clean and well maintained. Would definitely stay again!

This condo was well-maintained and clean. Air conditioning worked perfect. Sugar beach was absolutely beautiful. Enjoyed the beach gear and towels. Lounging area by the ocean is great. Parking spots are very tight and hard to find especially if you are driving a larger vehicle like we were. The care package we received when we arrived was so nice. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The property is nice. We have a family of 5, and while it sleeps 6, it’s most comfortable with 4 or less. The property location is nice, but the condo doesn’t have a lot of beach real estate. Limited number of umbrellas, tables, and beach side relaxation space. We felt like we were competing with other families for a dinner table, bbq, or umbrella. This is not a criticism of this specific rental, but a recognition of the limitations of the property.

This condo rental was great and I'd stay here again. The unit itself was clean and had all the amenities we needed (and more) for our short 2-night stay. It's a short walk to the pool area and the beach, and is within walking distance to a small plaza with an ABC store, farmers market, bakery, and shave ice. We didn't have any issues with the neighbors and although the parking lot is small, the Uber/taxi drivers we used managed just fine.

This was our second time staying in the identical unit. However the unit changed owners. The condition wasn’t the same. It was worn down and cleaning was not thorough. Even the kitchen supplies has been pared down from before. The biggest problem was something biting me in the bed. In the end I had to sleep on the couch.

We enjoyed our time in Kihei! It is definitely more of a local vibe and less touristy which we love. Only down side is you can't really walk to much, you need to rely on a car and seeking out restaurants, grocery stores, etc. There is an ABC store which is walkable so that was a plus. It was a great place to just lay low. We enjoyed just sitting at the common table/chairs with other people and chatting while watching the sunset and having a glass of wine.

Reviewer Comments:
Photos did not match the place. It’s a glorified Motel. First thing first the moment you arrive the parking is so tight. Second you carry your full suitcases up on 15 steps if you are placed on upper level, there is no elevator. It’s a rectangular building two floors. The shortest side opens into a tiny beach access. So keep low expectations. Thirdly the rooms have musty smell and mold like. There is no Laundry in the units. It’s a pain to find coins and detergent. Toilet supplies won’t last if it’s a few days long trip. We did not enjoy the property neither beach access.

It was great and easy access from the airport. Great being just steps from the water and beach. It was quiet, relaxing and a great place to crash at night. Great location to Safeway, Wal-Mart, Costco Lahaina as well as the Luau we went to in Kihei at the Wailea Beach resort at the Marriott Hotel. Definitely Recommend this Unit and property. We're coming Back!!

This was a great place to stay - we had an 18-month old and it was great for him with access to the pool and beach. We had one issue where we didn't have beach towels upon our arrival and someone brought them by within a couple hours, so all in all, it was a very pleasant stay and I would recommend to others!

Staying in this condo in Kihei was a great springboard for our Maui adventures! We wanted to get to the various parts of the island easily but also have laidback mornings and evenings on the beach and that’s exactly what we got. Being oceanfront, having three beds (the pullout couch worked for a child) and a basic kitchen in our place was a great fit for our family. The beach was beautiful and the water was calm and warm, perfect for the kids and paddleboarding for the adults. ABC, Sugar Beach Bake Shop and Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice were just a four-five minute walk away on the beach. We hope to return here again!

I love this condo and would want to stay here again if we are ever able to come back to Maui. It had the best vibe, it was cozy and felt like a home. The kitchen had all the pots and pans we needed to cook for ourselves, the beds were so freaking comfortable. The TV's allowed us to sign into our Netflix so that we could watch our shows at the end of a long day. The view and access to the beach was incredible. It was clean and had good AC, and was well soundproofed, I couldn't hear anything in other rooms. I would have stayed in the condo all day and it would have made my trip to Hawaii wonderful.

We arrived just after the flood which damaged all the first floor of the complex. Luckily We were located on the second floor. They needed to close down the complex for flood repairs. Rentals Maui was able to find us another accommodation. But the short one night stay was great. Place is compact and efficiently laid out, and in a great location. Just off the beach. We would stay there again.
