Location and overall property amenities were great. Views were breathtaking. Check in was a little more complicated than just providing my ID (the property rents directly as well and VRBO rental required more work to check in). Furniture and interior are very dated. Found two dead cockroaches when we checked in and outside lanai’s hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

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!

Amazing stay, the ocean front property is immaculate. Views are stunning, and a lot of onsite amenities. Looks exactly like the pictures. We will definitely stay here again.

Overall the stay was wonderful and the property lived up to the listing. We had a few hiccups that were resolved reaching out to the host.
Location was really wonderful and right between some of our favorite parts in Maui. Even for being in the middle of July, the condo stayed cool and cooled off easily at night, no one complained of being too hot at all.
Condo was outfitted with everything we needed to stay for 8 nights and our kids had a lot of space to play and unwind from busy days.

Beautiful location and condo. Pictures do not do it justice. The sunsets off the lanai were breathtaking. Condo is equipped with everything you need. Highly recommend. Cynthia was great with any questions that we had and responded quickly. The beach directly below was perfect. turtles swimming

Reviewer Comments:
The Vacation Rental was excellent. Traveled with my husband, and two kids, 12 and 17 and a friend tagged along. The unit was aweseome and the views were better than the pictures show. The Sea Turtles out front was the highlight of the trip. In addition, the amentites the condo offered were a bonus, the pool and jacuzzi, pickleball, on site Restaurant, and gym, etc.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo! It is beautiful decorated and updated, well stocked with all the necessities, as well as use of their beach toys/chairs/boogie boards. The view is breathtaking and having A/C was a huge plus since many of the condos do not. We can’t wait to go back!

You can't stay closer to the beach than this property! Our second time at this resort. If you love sleeping with the doors open and listening to the ocean than this place is for you!

Upon planning my return to Maui (after 15 years) I read all the reviews for this unit in Sands of Kahana (after looking at the listing and photos dozens of times)& finally took the plunge and booked it. Communication leading up to it was just as expected and sure enough, as promised, 3 days before our check-in, we got the instructions. Upon arriving, Cindy-our host, made sure to check in with me to make sure everything was just fine. The condo was just beautiful & the pictures depict it perfectly. I really couldn't believe the view. Yes I had seen the photos, but would it really be that good I had asked myself? Sure enough it was & every morning, & pretty much any time of day we happened to be in the condo-we could see turtles swimming by. That was pure entertainment right there. But along with that, 3 of the mornings, after an overnight rain, we got rainbows!!!! No one told us to expect that! Then there were the sunsets. Boy, was that a treat. One night I wanted to just see it from the condo rather than the beach & it was everything I had hoped for. The amenities in the condo were wonderful as well & a big plus to making our stay even more perfect. There were multiple coffee makers &pretty much any appliance or spice you might need. Beach towels were bountiful as well as regular towels &the washer/dryer was a blessing. We were all so happy with our stay in this unit, it really made our trip absolutely wonderful!

This condo is a great location, with a beautiful view. The beach is nice and sandy and all the accommodations we needed were within walking distance. The only downside to this condo is the fact that it does not have air-conditioning. We stayed at the end of July, and not having air-conditioning, meant it was very warm & sticky every night. I ended up buying 4 box fans, just so we could sleep! Other than that, everything worked out well!

This condo exceeded all our expectations. First was the VIEW, which was gorgeous!!! The second were the extremely comfortable beds and bedrooms, large well equipped kitchen and living room. Third was the awesome location which was an easy commute to everywhere we wanted to go. We hated to leave and would love to stay here the next time we're in Maui!!

The condo is beautiful, modern, fully stocked with kitchen items and beach gear. The location on the first floor and right on the beach (a walk down stairs and around the side of the bldg) was perfect!! What an awesome lanai, with stunning views and sounds of the ocean. A great place to swim and snorkel. The resort itself is a little dated but we weren’t there for the resort amenities. There were so many experiences we wanted to have on the island. Thank you for making our first trip to Maui very special!!

We stayed at Lisa's condo with our kids and family friends, in total there were four adults and four kids under ten. The condo was perfect for us. There was plenty of room for everyone and the condo was stocked with everything that we could need. The beach was great for the kids and we saw turtles every day! We would definitely stay here again when coming back to Maui!

Very nice location and view is great. Spacious 2 bedroom corner unit with privacy and a dual master like second bedroom. Furnishings are dated but still okay. Deck and window glass has not been cleaned I awhile. And deck lounges are old. The deck was very dirty when we arrived but Sullivan had it cleaned after we contacted them. Overall very nice stay.

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.

The condo was air conditioned, in a perfect location 5th floor looking down on the beach. The kitchen had plenty of dishes&pots&pans The grills on the grounds were good. The restaurant was nice. Pool a good size. Water on the beach was calm for swimming chairs for relaxing we would definitely rent this condo again! 5 nights was not enough!

We LOVED this place! Great location that was walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, and the ABC store. The beach was great and not too crowded. The restaurant on site was convenient and good. The unit was PERFECT-very clean and uncluttered, the views were spectacular, parking was easy and always available. The beds were comfortable, the shower had good water pressure, the kitchen was spacious and very well-equipped. We appreciated being able to use the folding chairs, boogie boards and beach towels that were in unit. We opened windows per Cynthia's instructions and loved the trade winds. We also used the A/C at night. We really couldn't have found better accommodations! We were very please with our choice to stay here! I would highly recommend staying here! (We watched sea turtles swimming in the ocean from our balcony every day!!!!)

This is a great condo for a chill relaxing getaway. You can’t go wrong ! The only reason I left 4 stars is because the front desk is not very friendly, the gym equipment is old and outdated, the building needs a paint job, and the tub was not functioning. So many people had their doors open and it was because so few have AC. We were very lucky to have AC. Overall great stay!

This particular property is fantastic. Everything in the condo room was perfect. So well equipped. However the overall resort property, is a little run down, though the condo owner can’t do much about that.
The beds will probably need to be replaced soon. We had some sore backs. We wished it had AC but even in the middle of July, we didn’t need it.

This unit is beautifully decorated and very well stocked with cooking utensils, laundry soap, dish soap etc. We always bring our own spices, baggies, shampoos and body soaps but there was some soaps to shower with and ample hand soaps. The unit was very clean. You can’t beat the location in the building! The views are breathtaking! Check-out and check-in was really easy. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! I almost hate to give a good review as we would want it to be our hidden gem :)

The location of this property is beautiful with unobstructed views of the water, a sandy beach and a pool ( mainly if you have little ones). It is perfect for 2 couples. The amenities are above & beyond ...very soft , cozy linens, plenty of extra pillows, a solid wood sliding door allowing privacy for the master suite, a kitchen with everything you could need, a few TV's , lovely tub with water views, plenty of beach toys and a nespresso machine! The complex is a bit dated but the unit itself is wonderful. The Beach House restaurant is yummy for lunch and there is a good bar there too. We enjoyed our stay --wish it had been longer. THX!

The condo was perfect for our family of 5, including 3 teenagers. Everyone had plenty of space. We really appreciated the beach chairs and wagon when going to other beaches nearby. Obviously the views were spectacular, had an amazing rainbow right outside balcony on the first day! Would definitely stay there again, the owner was quick to respond, check in and check out were easy as well.

Property well equipped and clean with plenty of room. Views were great for a 1st floor unit. Keep in mind there is no A/C but 2 room units were available. Used one in the front bedroom for the teens but never turned on the second unit as there was enough breeze by keeping the sliders open to the lanai and louvers open in the front. Location was perfect right between Lahaina & Kapalua. The only downside is that when the reservation was made we were told it was a 3rd floor unit which is what I wanted due to breeze and views. With a room number of Three 1 six you would think this would be true but in The Sands Of Kahana this means building 3 floor 1 room 6. The reservation dept should know this. In any event as disappointed I was with the level the stay was still wonderful!

Great beach and snorkeling with turtles coming right up to shore. Local restaurants with great food and a market nearby. We cooked often in the fully equipped good size kitchen! We will be back!

The property is beautiful but dated. There are gas BBQ on site, full stove with coffee maker and toaster. The only couple of issues, the check in process. Called the Sullivan Property because front desk had no authorization or confirmation to release the keys. Called and Steve answered at 2:30PM told me that he will call the front counter and let them know but that our check in is at 3PM. Steve called or transferred me 3 times, not sure why but all 3 times got disconnected and call ended. Called a 4 and Steve stated he was trying to see if the house cleaned person would answer to let him know it was ready. But the he stated to call back at 3PM and that is our check in time. Came back to check in counter after 3PM and Sullivan Property was closed and the front office never responded or gave them authorization. The front office people were very friendly and helpful, she provided the keys to enter property. The room was not very well cleaned and there was sand all over the apartment, having to clean befor really enjoying the place. The balcony sliding glass door is impossible to open and the screen as well.

Had a lovely weekend stay at the condo.
Everything was as expected based on reviews and photos. Nicely appointed condo, everything was very clean. Was more than spacious enough for 4 of us. Views from balcony are fantastic, great place to enjoy a sunset. The complex itself feels a little dated, but the condo doesn't at all. It does have a restaurant on site with a bar which was ok. Great location too, between Kapalua and Kaanapali.
Overall though, would definitely stay here again.
