We had a great stay at Maui Sands. The location is awesome and the condo was comfy. If you like listening to the sounds of the ocean (like we do!) this place has the ocean sound for sure.

Our favorite things about the condo:
- Really walkable to a few restaurants and (for a longer walk) the grocery store. The location is just north of Lahaina/ Ka'anapali, but still has its own 'stuff,' including a great park.
- The ocean is literally feet away. There's not much beach when the tide is high, but it is lovely to sit and relax. We saw turtles there!
- It's a short drive to a lot of other great things, like the surf at Honolua Bay. If you surf longboard there are places nearby to rent. If you surf shortboard, make sure to stop at Hi-Tech Surf in Kahului near the airport.

We had a minor glitch when we checked in- the condo hadn't been cleaned yet when we arrived, some folks had checked out that morning- but we let Wade know and the issue was addressed right away. The cleaning crew (super nice people) were there in just a few minutes. We went for a walk and came back and the condo was perfect! Wade was so responsive and we really appreciate it.

One last thing: the parking spot is a little tough to get into sometimes. It's not a deal breaker for us, and probably won't be for you, either. We rented a jeep and sometimes it just took a few adjustments. But if you rent a giant car (I mean a van) for some reason, you'll feel it more, is all.

In all, the property is really solid: location, host response, and convenience. It's a great value, for sure!
