If you're not feeling the noise and price of nearby resorts, this unit at Maui Sands Seaside gives you everything you need to enjoy the nearby beach, and there are plenty of shops within walking distance for everything else.
We didn't have much to complain about, check-in was smooth and the unit was very clean. Air conditioning is a nice touch, but you'll want to keep the air moving in every room to combat the warmth and humidity. The pull out sofa bed isn't the most comfortable, as most aren't, so keep that in mind if you need it. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of equipment, but we didn't really use it. There's a coffee maker but you'll have to acquire your own coffee, which is easily done by walking down the block. Some shampoo and conditioner was provided, as well as hand/body soap. But don't expect hotel toiletries here.
They have a quiet time of 10pm to 7am, which is mostly respected, but remember you're staying close to another complex as well. I didn't have any issues keeping the bedroom windows open to hear the water and occasional rainfall. The beach access was great, with its own outdoor shower to wash off the inevitable sand. Other reviews rightly noted it's a bit rocky, but you can walk down a little bit to find areas where the reef isn't in the way. However, the presence of the reefs made for some decent snorkeling right outside the unit.
All in all we fully enjoyed our stay, and Bree was proactive in making sure we were comfortable. It's a great deal considering the prime location, and we loved being able to walk around and explore the neighborhood without the mania of the resorts up the street.
