Awesome Maui Oceanfront! Spectacular sunsets! 1Bed/1Bath of Hawaiiana
Our little piece of paradise has been remodeled, giving you the comfort of an updated kitchen and bathroom with a beautiful open look. We also have new furnishings, including a sleeper sofa that has a 6 inch memory foam mattress that is actually comfortable to sleep on!
Our condo is at a beautiful beachfront/oceanfront location (seasonal sand levels) within walking distance of shops, a farmers market, a natural market, the BEST coffee shop, and restaurants. In the Winter and early-Spring you can see the whales from the comfort of the lanai, and the monk seals and turtles are always a treat when they pay a visit throughout the year. Just 12 steps from the edge of the semi-private beach, you can float on the ocean water, see the delights of snorkeling, bodyboard, or simply catch some rays. When we first came across this condo, we were awestruck by the view.... and we know you will be, too!
This condo has one separate bedroom with a king bed along with a sofa bed in the living room that can sleep 2 extra people. There are ceiling fans, but with the blinds open on both ends, the wonderful Hawaiian breezes flow through to keep it very comfortable inside.
We are just a few short minutes to world-class golf at Kapalua and Kaanapali, and Lahaina Town is only 5 miles away. This is the perfect condo for families and honeymooners alike. We know you'll be in heaven at our condo in paradise!

We loved staying here. The condo fit all of our needs and was very comfortable and clean. The view was AMAZING. We also loved the walk ability of this area. We can’t wait to come back!
Our host was very accommodating and responsive. The condo is very close to the waves as they incessantly roll into sea wall that fronts the property and the ocean sounds are quite relaxing. I believe there was once an ample beach, but was not present during our stay, so to access a sandy beach you’ll need to walk or drive. There is a nice grassy area outside your door to enjoy the afternoon sun and sea sounds. We were very pleased with the condo interior as it was clean and well kept with ample kitchen small appliances and gadgets. All the knives were very dull. The bed was very comfortable.
What an amazing place to stay! With the ocean steps away from our patio, we saw turtles and whales spouting from far away. The sunsets were absolutely fantastic - so many pictures. The condo was perfect with all it's amenities making it feel like home. Waking up each morning and making coffee and sitting outside with the view was the highlight of the trip :)
The condo at Makani Sands was perfect - and you cannot beat the location! Having an unobstructed ocean view was amazing. We loved eating our meals outside on the patio every day. Highly recommend!
This was our 3rd stay and we have already booked our 4th. This place is perfect in every way!!
Close to the beach right in the water and the condo is perfect.
If you have a chance to book in here don’t pass it up
We loved this vacation spot. From coffee on the lanai each morning, margaritas in the afternoon, turtles by the sea wall, and a short walk to “the best cinnamon buns on Maui”, we had a great time. The condo was in a perfect location as we didn’t drive. A 20 minute walk got us to restaurants, grocery stores, and souvenir shopping. The condo had everything we needed.
Everything was as described or better! We used the beach chairs and umbrella every day. It is perfectly located and right on the water. We prefer to stay in a smaller complex rather than one of the bigger resorts and this was the best yet. 3 minutes to Nipili Market, 20 minutes to Honolua bay, 10 minutes or less to Nipili and Kapalua Beaches, the Gazebo, etc. Perfect!
We loved staying at Matt's place. It has amazing views. We saw whales and turtles swimming by. The neighbors are amazing. Matt is a great host and was always in touch throughout our stay. Would def. recommend his place. As other reviews mention, it might be little noisy if you are a light sleeper, but closing down all the windows reduces the outside noise a lot and would not bother you!

The property was nice, and affordable for the location and time of year we stayed. The kitchen is very well outfitted and having laundry in the unit is great. There is no air conditioning but that's not a big deal, just opening the windows and patio door lets the ocean breeze in and everythings good. This is a first floor unit and the ocean waves are thirty feet from the patio, the constant sound of the ocean might not be for everyone but I loved it
We wanted a place right on the ocean so we could hear it and see it. This oceanfront did NOT disappoint. Nope, no beach, but it's winter in Maui and this time of year the ocean is strong and takes the sand with it. It didn't matter that there wasn't a beach here, we were still able to travel just down the road and there was beach for us to layout on and play in the water at. The condo gives way to an amazing view of two other islands and we saw many humpback whales (bring binoculars) and sea turtles from the lanai. Everyone was compliant with the quiet hours, so no noise complaints. The condo is located close to shopping, dining and the beach. Great sunsets. Matt was prompt in responding to any questions I had. Would highly recommend and stay here again.
The checking in process went smoothly. We arrived to Hawaiian music and an amazing view of the ocean from this ground level unit. We immediately felt relaxation.
The location makes you feel like you are out of the hustle and bustle of the city, but also have access to grocery stores and food not too far away. Just down the street, we enjoyed Papa O'Hana's Cinnamon Rolls (get in line early!) and Dole Pineapple Whip at a local Mediterranean restaurant. There is also a large food truck park set up for local feast and fun. With that said, we enjoyed many a meals in and used the gas grills to grill steak at "home" and enjoyed eating dinner in the cool of the evening.
The condominium units are mixed use between short term rentals to seasonal owners. This was a plus as we felt welcomed by the "locals" and they taught us customs like the conch shell sunset ceremony. We felt like we belonged there, hence "home away from home." In fact, we ended up adding 2 more days to our stay because we just weren't ready to go home!
Matt contacted us a couple days in to check to see how we were doing. They were easy to get a hold of if needed. He was very accommodating and kind.
Activities we enjoyed were the Road to Hana and Volcanic National Park (both about an hour drive to the start of the drives, we just planned for an all day event), to swimming in the ocean in front of the unit at low tide, even swimming with the sea turtles.
A must stay! We are hoping to go back again soon!
The property was great and the neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. The host was gracious enough to allow us a late checkout since our flight was in the evening. They had a nice Playmate cooler, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, umbrella, and many other items that were very useful.
Location great and better than our first visit to Maui (on our first visit there we stayed at a condo in Maalea Bay which was wonderful but the Lahaina location here with this condo we enjoyed much more!) Close to harbor, food, coffee, market, excursions, awesome beaches! Definitely recommend!
This was a great condo. It had great access to the beach and the condo itself was well maintained. We stayed on three different islands during our trip and this was our best accommodation. There was always enough parking. It wasn't too loud but the bedroom window is right next to the elevator so you could hear other guests. It wasn't that disruptive and didn't change our minds about how nice the condo was. The shower was nice.
Great ground floor unit right on the ocean in west Maui. We loved the location (Honokowai/Kahana/Nipili) and the lovely sunsets, and swimming/snorkeling in front of the unit. Unit was in good shape and very comfortable for 2 people. Highly recommended.
We were so pleased with this condo we plan on returning. We have all had the experience of looking on line and when we arrive it is not as advertised. Everything about this condo was as advertised. Fantastic location and views. Facility staff Tammie and Rick were great. Made us feel welcome and very helpful. We plan on returning soon!
Good place to stay for few days. Quiet with awesome view especially at sunset. I put 3 stars for accuracy of online listing because I expected to have the beach in front of the property but this is not the case. There is an access to the ocean but no dry sand. Also be aware of the strong current and rocks. Pool is heated and good place to relax.
On line listing shows beach with reasonable access. In actuality, stairs end with four foot drop off to rocks and no beach.
This unit is located on primary entry corridor in front of elevators. Very noisy day and night.
Really enjoyed the location -- so fun to watch the whales from the lanai while eating my meals. While there's no traditional beach at the condo, the lounge chairs along the seawall were great for catching some sun. When I got too hot, I'd go down the stairs to get in the water (and snorkeled with a couple sea turtles right there). Trips to nearby beaches were easy, too, and I took advantage of the beach chairs, mats, and cooler that were in the condo.
Condo itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. Had a few small issues (dishwasher and icemaker were both out of service during my trip; struggled a bit to line up the back slider to get it locked/unlocked), but the pros far outweighed the cons.
