Wonderful for our family of 6, and as advertised in the pictures. Diane, owner, was great. But we never really needed her because everything went smoothly.
Complex - a bit older, as expected, but really nicely kept up. It was so nice to stay at a location that did not feel crowded like the big resorts. At 2 stories tall and tons of mature landscape and grass, our 4 kids (all 10 and under) loved the space. Ground floor unit was a huge win. Pool was clean and wonderful, warm in June and great. Beach was great at low tide for little ones. The close reef made a 2 ft tide pool. Older ones could go over first reef to swim and snorkel and were protected from any surf by the outer second reef. At high tide some larger waves made it in so not really swimming beach at that point.
Laundry - shared for complex with multiple machines. $2 wash/$1.25 dry. Can use an app to pay. Right across grass from unit. Very convenient, and nice to do multiple loads at once. Always had an open machine when needed.
Unit - Great, and as pictures show. Clearly owner cares about it as their vacation home. Nicely updated. Everything works. So nice to have all the extras of an owner condo - spices, extra towels, sheets, pack and play, sunscreen, aloe, boogie boards, umbrella, sand toys, beach chairs (4), etc. A/C is just a window unit that really is for main living area. Owner provided plenty of fans to help with bedrooms, and had ceiling fans as well. Worked just fine.
View - Maui Sands complex has wonderful view. From lanai of the unit you can see the ocean, but avoid the blast of the direct afternoon sun that would make it sweltering, which was great. If you want to sit right at the oceanfront, it is a 10 second walk and the complex has chairs open all the time - not crowded!
Location- great spot to explore northwest Maui. Napili area was great, a handful of different types of beach experiences, down through Lahaina with more eating choices. Great simple grocery store and staples nearby, 1/4 mile away. Also an organic farmer market type store nearby. To a of food trucks as well.
