Makani Sands proved to be the perfect place for our first Hawaii vacation. The location was great, just past all of the large and busy resorts yet still with easy access to many stores, restaurants and Old Lahaina itself. The private beach just off the lenai was wonderful, with warm water and sea turtles appearing on cue every afternoon. The condo was very well appointed and clean and had everything that we needed. The manager, Tammy was extremely helpful with communication and recommendations of things to do and places to go. There were also many friendly guests, a number of whom made yearly visits. A lovely place.
