We took our family to Maui with the intent to have a wonderful and memorable Hawai’i experience. Our stay at Maui Sands was one of the best parts of our vacation as our unit opens right up to the islands of Lanai and Moloka’i for an impressive view of the Pacific ocean. Nothing is better than being able to walk out to your patio and feeling like you have 400 feet of private ocean shoreline to yourself every morning and the most amazing sunsets at night. From watching the whales leap out of the ocean to the occasional sea turtle drifting by, the views never disappointed.
Although there isn’t a sandy beach in front of the unit, there are beach areas nearby that suffice. And the formation of the dual reefs in front of the complex lends itself for a very relaxing place to swim between them without strong currents or deep drop-offs. It’s almost like a sand-bottom pool. The reefs are also suitable for some casual snorkeling as well.
The unit itself easily accommodated our party of 6 adults and was stocked with most everything we needed. All appliances were newer and worked perfectly. The pull out sofa was comfortable to sleep on and appeared to be fairly new as well. There are plenty of fans and an AC in the living room. Although the property isn’t brand new, you can tell efforts to keep it up & modern have been made and the complex itself is also pleasant.
We love the West Maui area as it’s a short 5-10 minute drive to Lahaina and the Ka’anapali beaches are just a few minutes away as well. There are plenty of food/restaurant options within walking distance along with a convenience store and grocery store also nearby. Just a note - some of the attractions like Hana Road and Haleakala National Park are a bit of a drive from here, but not so far that it prevented us from making our way to these sites.
Our host was exceptional with communication and response to our needs. We appreciated the check in process as it was seamless and without hassle. Our host reached out to us to ensure everything was satisfactory and offered to assist should anything come up during our stay.
We can’t wait to return to Maui and would love to return back to Anna’s property!!
