Remodeled Makani Sands 103 is a direct ocean front ground floor unit only 20 steps from a secluded sandy beach with great swimming, snorkeling, & uncrowded surf. You'll love the stunning year-round sunset and twin island views (with whales breaching in season) right from the kitchen, living room or the oceanfront lanai.
We are located between the world class resorts and golf courses at Kapalua and Kaanapali, and just minutes from award-winning restaurants, activities, and an outlet mall. Low-rise Makani Sands offers convenient proximity to all with a more peaceful atmosphere.
Fully furnished with tile floors, granite counters, W/D, etc., our resort amenities include pool & beachside BBQ. Like most buildings in this neighborhood ours is not equipped with air conditioning however you're so close to the cool water and tropical breeze this is rarely an issue. The sleeper sofa provides a second bed if needed.
Our unique sea wall creates an inlet relative to the surrounding rocky coastline. Tides push sand in to create a beach which varies in depth by several feet and can at times be completely submerged. There is always access for swimming and snorkeling. Makani Sands is where the local turtles tend to stay. The turtles know what they're doing....

Tom's condo was the perfect way to end 3 weeks on Maui. Peaceful, beautiful views, nice people, lovely weather and amazing sunsets. I'm ready for next year. Mahalo Tom

Stayed here several times early "70's and had great memories---nothing changed still the best place to stay. We didn't want crowds just quiet and privacy.
Manager staff was great and friendly.

Loved this unit. I have been coming to Maui since 2001 and this place was one of my favorites. I hadn't stayed right in this area before. I LOVED the ocean being so close to the lanai. The apartment was great. I never slept in the bedroom, just pulled out the sofa and slept there so I could hear the ocean all night. Great area. Nice park close that you can walk to. I watched the sunset almost every night. So beautiful.

Tom was a great host. We had a major issue that wasn’t his fault and he did everything in his power to remedy the situation. Other than that the unit was clean. There was laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, and shampoo so look before you buy anything. The only thing missing was beach chairs which, you only need if you travel around to other beaches. It was well worth the travel from NC and we will forever remember the Lahaina locals as being the sweetest people on earth!

We can’t say enough about the condo. It was spotless, comfortable and had great amenities. The sound of the surf was fantastic! The views at sunset included turtles and whales. The neighbors were nice and created a chorus of conchs st sunset! The bed was very comfortable. Restaurants and shopping walking distance away. If you don’t like the craziness of a large condo complex this is for you!

We had never been to Hawaii before. We heard from people that Hawaii is great, but never imagined it to be this good. We stayed for almost a week just before spring break. We saw so many whale activity from the patio chairs, saw a few turtles right up to the beach wall. Absolutely wonderful way to wake up in the morning to the waves and the scenery. We always had our breakfast and dinner out on the patio while looking for whale (and we always saw something). Most amazing sunsets if the clouds are not there. 🙂
The stay was honestly better than we could ever expect. This was our first plane trip with our family of four with a 4 and an 11 year old, and we truly plan on coming back to this spot annually if we can make it fit. 13/10. We loved it so much! Thank you for providing such a wonderful spot to make such memories. It was beyond magical!!! 💜❤️💜

The property was great!
Check in was simple and easy
The condo was very well equipped (check to see what’s there before you do your grocery shopping)
The views are amazing! Saw many whales and turtles right in front of the property
*Afternoon sun does get pretty hot, so make sure to plan accordingly with the shades and windows

Nothing fancy but a clean place to stay with lovely views and quiet neighbors. We really enjoyed our time and appreciated all of Tom’s thorough communication. Would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful time. The location was close to shopping and restaurants but also felt secluded from the pourch. The view is unbelievable. We spent the mornings watching the whales just off the coast and the afternoons with the turtles that swam up near the shore. Highly recommend! Thanks to Tom for providing a wonderful property for us to enjoy.

Stunning view. Torch lit at night! Romantic and Refreshing.
Whale visible almost any time of the day. Spouting, bulls pounding of water with fins and tail, cow training their calf. So good to see them side by side.
Sea turtles regularly visable on the beachfront.
Many shops, restaurants, beaches and park within easy walking distance. Two grocery stores, one, an easy walk away.
Great time TOM!
Thanks a bunch!
We would definately stay in your unit in the future. We hope to start a tradition!

We loved being on the ground floor for easy access to the ocean. Sat out there most nights to enjoy dinner and sunset. Saw many whales and had a turtle swimming around right in front one evening. Close to many beaches and restaurants.
