We had six adults in our group. The unit was clean, well kept and comfortable for us. The staff was great especially Linda who booked us. The unit was close to everything we did and easy to get to from the airport. Would highly recommend.

This was a perfect home base for our family vacation to Maui. Plenty of space for two adults and two teens. Unit was clean and well equipped. Views were outstanding and the snorkeling and turtle watching from the beach on property was perfect. We preferred it to other beach “hotspots” on the island. Things were never crowded and always relaxed here. We will definitely be back!

We came to Maui to attend our son’s wedding and wanted a base to operate from for the 12 days we would be there. We searched for what seemed like months, sharing with family the possible places. We decided that an ocean front location was best and Makani Sands 3 bedroom oceanfront condo checked all the boxes.
Once arriving, we were excited to find everything about our unit met or exceeded our expectations. The views of the ocean, the cleanliness of the unit, the well stocked kitchen, the extras like beach chairs, a cooler, etc, were all things that made our stay wonderful. The sun shades that you could automatically lower when the sun was low in the sky was very useful. They didn’t block the view but did temper the intensity of the sun.
Makani Sands is a Condo group that takes great pride in its appearance. The cleanliness and freshness of the common areas is top notch. The ocean front patio with chairs, tables and bbq grills are well maintained and constantly kept in good order. There were many unit owners there and they were so welcoming and very helpful in giving advice on places to go and see. They also congregated around sunset each day on the patio to relax, fellowship, and enjoy drinks and maybe use the grills. They would also blow the conch shells at sunset and show us how to do it. Every unit has a couple of shells designed to be blown.
The beach, snorkeling, and daily sea turtle visits were added bonuses. We loved our stay and look forward to returning.

Beautifully updated unit right on ocean front. Super clean! Great views with ocean lapping at your door step. We liked having nice separation between the bedrooms (one main floor, two on second floor) as we have young adults with different sleep habits. The kitchen was nicely outfitted with multiple coffee machine options and everything you need and more. Nice, family orientated building with several large multi-generational groups that had been there before.

We absolutely loved our stay at Makani Sands. The condo has everything you need! The ocean is soothing and there were so many turtles! Tammy in the office is so great at her job! She has an awesome personality and is so helpful. I'll call soon to book for next year!

Beautiful, clean and very spacious 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath. Fabulous sunsets every night on the lanai. Great location, walked to ABC store and to “Papi’s Ohana” for the best ever cinnamon rolls and pizza.

This rental unit was beautiful and right on a beautiful little beach that was filled with turtles. The condo worked perfect for our family of 8. Pretty much everything you needed was there. The front office staff was very kind and super easy to work with. The location to many beaches and shops is perfect. We would love to stay again!

Everything was amazing and so quiet! I loved falling asleep to the waves. The beaches all around were perfect, but you have to get there early for parking. Working with Tammy was easy. She took care of us, and called back immediately after I left a message. The condo was perfect for my family of 6.

We had a fantastic experience staying at Makani Sands during our trip to Maui. Our family vacation was one we will not forget and it was due in large part to the amazing views from our condo, amazing whale watching, rainbows, and turtle viewing right from our lanai. The condo was spacious, updated, and had all the amenities that we needed for family dinners after fun days exploring the island. Our daughter keeps asking when we are planning our next trip to Makani Sands.

Aloha from Minnesota! We returned to the Makani Sands AGAIN this year with friends and family joining us. As the person responsible for booking, I want everything to go as perfectly as possible and everyone at the Makani Sands (Managers Tammy & Deb) + entire housekeeping & maintenance staff really do over deliver above and beyond my expectations. Super clean, well maintained, comfortable, convenient, quiet & a good value. Other repeat guests staying are very welcoming to new comers. We saw MANY eels, whales, sea turtles directly on ocean front from condos patio area as well as our balcony frequently. We enjoyed being in the surf on calmer days as there are steps directly off the big patio to access the ocean. We absolutely loved the close proximity to the ocean. Lots of space in our condo, lots of privacy, felt it was a very safe & secure location, very walkable to shops nearby, well stocked with items (equipment) needed for our week long stay. Nice heated pool, big grilling area, ample parking right out front, comfortable beds, excellent wi-fi, individual remote control AC worked GREAT, really liked having in unit washer and dryer. Deck was able to fit all six of us for excellent whale watching! Good sized kitchen.Short drive to super market, highway, golf, several excursion options, sand beaches, and (conference) hotels. Management staff exceptionally friendly & accommodating to our group. Excellent communication and very responsive. Our entire group was very pleased with everything and looking forward to next visit. Mahalo!

Great, the apartment is spacious and very lovely. Altogether the beds, furniture, kitchen tools, and all amenities were great. I appreciate that the everything was thoughtfully placed. My one minor complaint was that on the first day, we had a hard time turning on the AC, and that was due to sensors falling off above the sliding glass doors. I wish this critical component was mentioned in the manual.

Can’t wait to be back! Absolutely loved being ocean front and enjoyed whale watching from the balcony.

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful condo for a week and cannot praise it enough. The condo exceeded all our expectations. The location was absolutely breathtaking and seeing and hearing the ocean our entire stay was an absolute treat. The layout worked perfect for our group and we loved hanging out on the 2 balconies. The condo was really clean and decorated nicely. I highly recommend this condo!
