New furnishing as of June 2023. Maui Sands unit 1D is the perfectly oversized (1200 sq ft) 2-bedroom 1 bath unit for families and children. Located on the ground floor in front of the pool and big grass/ garden area of the property, the kids will be able come and go from our lanai (patio) doors rather than the front doors and walk around the building to the pool or to play. This doesn't sound like a big deal but being able to walk out of your unit from the lanai straight to the pool, ocean or just to play on the large grass areas of the property is super convenient. If you book a unit on the 2nd floor, everyone has to come and go out the front door, lock the door behind, walk past a lot of units, walk down stairs around the building to walk anywhere on the property. Big difference!
The ocean is a 30 second walk from our unit! Snorkel, catching small fish with nets, swim, surf, kayak right from our property without going anywhere. Enjoy eating on our new large dining table on the lanai surrounded by the lush tropical gardens and palm trees. The unit overlooks the pool and garden area of our ocean front property and your large lanai doors open right up to the tropical garden and pool area of the property. The pool, gas BBQ, ice machines, soda machine, picnic tables and the property 'library' are all within 100 feet of this unit!
Imagine relaxing on our shady lanai, sipping a cocktail and listening to your kids laughing while playing in the pool or trying to catch small geckos in the tropical plants just off your lanai. All while your significant other BBQ's dinner at the pool and socializes with other friendly guests.

Maui Sands Location
Maui Sands is located at the border of North Kaanapali Beach and Honokowai areas of the island. We're right on the ocean in west Maui, just a few minutes north of Kaanapali and 10 minutes from Lahaina town. Just south of the Kapalua area. The resorts next to us are Papakea Resort and Paki Maui.
BEST PROPERTY FEATURES:
Snorkeling and swimming right from our property. Being able to walk ON THE BEACH from our property for 3 miles down to Kaanapali.
Maui Sands Resort is actually the very last unit that you can walk on the beach for miles all the way down to Black Rock in Kaanapali. “Walk on the beach” being the key words! Other properties might boast they have a private beach or a little cove or something but you won’t be able to take a long sunset or morning strolls more than 100 yards in either direction on the beach. It would just be too dangerous to walk on the lava rocks and cliffs from one cove to the next.
Kaanapali Beach was voted nicest beach in the US and Black Rock is one of the top three “must snorkel” places to on Maui! I personally have seen eagle rays, turtles, Hawaiian monk seals and dolphins right in front of our property. Other properties north of Maui Sands you have to actually walk on the road onto our property then walk on the beach to Kaanapali. ...

We absolutely loved our time here at Maui Sands. It was centrally located, with tons of things to do near by. The floor level Condo was spacious and convenient with a the parking spot provided in close proximity. We did see alot of roaches...........fortunately there was RAID supplied by the owners and it seemed to help. I just figured the insects are an "Island thing". The condo was the perfect size for 3 of us girls. I would highly recommend this Condo for your Maui trip

The photos on line looked better than the real thing. The unit needs real scrub down. Owner was responsive. I would not recommend Maui Sands at all. It is a very old condo, the furniture on the patio was awful! There are very small ants on the baseboards saw a few small cockroaches. Also the floors were not level!

The best thing about this location was the property manager. He was honest and told us what to expect before going there.
The unit on the other hand is old and it shows it’s age.

Bathroom door does NOT have a lock. Shower curtain has mold and build up stained soap scam. The owners should spend a few dollars to replace it. Everything could use a good cleaning.
Kory does a great job marketing the property, he provides very useful accurate information about the area and beyond, was grate to have the binder there as a guide. Nice location with beach access, that was wonderful. I would rent there again but a different condo, a cleaner one.
Thank you Kory

We stayed for 7 nights. The place was very spacious and loved being on ground floor with the pool and beautiful grounds. Parking was close by the condo. Easy walking distance to many amenities. The Fish market had great food and service. A few coffee places and grocery near by. The sunsets every night were beautiful. We did miss not having a full beach out front. No uncovered sand but many beautiful crashing waves. The onsite manager was great and helped us in a situation. Rory, the VRBO manager was also very helpful and responded right away. We would stay again.

When I found this rental I saw a post about upstairs and noise. The response from manager was she wished they told her so she could fix problem. Once we arrived it was immediate and lasted the 7 days we are there. It completely ruined or vacation. We contacted manager within 2 hrs of being in unit. But was told to go up and talk to teneants that did nothing. DO NOT RENT THIS UNIT OR ANYTHING THIS MANAGER HAS. The amount we paid for manger fees they should have handled the problem. If you want you vacation ruined rent it.

Kory, the property manager, was incredibly responsive with some issues that we had once we were settled into the unit. I really appreciated her quick response.
Things we loved about this rental: location, lovely grounds, pool, quick beach access, designated parking space, laundry facilities, and affordability.
Things that could have made it better: newer pillows, newer pans, and the door to the lanai was really hard to open and close.
Overall, it was a great vacation.

This condo had everything essential from kitchen utensils, pots, pans, to a couple boggy boards.
There was no hot tub on the property or in house washing machine, and the location was not ideal if you are an explorer.

Never even considered the possibility when booking this property that the neighbor upstairs would be a real problem. They walked in hard sole shoes all hours of day and especially night all over the apartment. So sleeping on the poor mattress was that much tougher. The ants in the kitchen were a problem all stay, and even in the bedroom.

The location was great, we have four young kids and being able to walk to the park and beach was wonderful.
The property was a good space and it is clear the residence and guests take pride in the space.

The condo was very comfortable and what we expected. I slept better in our bedroom each night than I have in years.
The grounds were kept up nicely and the pool was fun!
I was disappointed about there being no beach.
It shows a nice beach in the picture, but there really isn’t one.
Also, it would be nice to have at least some seasonings and complimentary coffee for at least the first night.
It was very quiet and peaceful! I’d stay there again.
