Maui Sands was a nice place to stay. It was clean and the beds were comfy. Would not recommend to multiple couples but families with kids like us is defiantly workable. The complex is dated but just steps from the beach. Certain times of year the tides cover up the beach directly to the west, but a 5 min walk to the north puts you at Honokowai Beach Park. The 2nd bed is a murphy bed in the living room and a curtain on a track that pulls around it for some privacy. Third bed is the pullout couch bed. Little tight on space if you are using both the murphy and couch bed, but unless you're planning on hanging out there all the time (we were out about most days) its fine. The mattresses were comfy as well.
The pool was very nice and there is a grilling area at the pool, with large propane grill for use. Laundry is on site just past the pool towards the beach and is $3.50 total per load dry and wash. They take quarters and also pay by app which I thought was nice and you don't have to search for change at local stores.
The unit was easily located, with contactless entry when you check in. Some of the reviews complain about the noise, and it is true. The condo is on ground floor, a corner unit next to the main road (Lower Honoapiilani Rd.) and parking lot. You do hear all the traffic of vehicles and people. Louver windows with screens typical in Hawaii, is why hear so much noise, but we slept fine didn't bug us. It also has an assigned parking spot very convenient to and from the lanai.
The unit is dated, and condo was clean. No issue there. Not sure what other reviewers' issues were with ants, it's a tropical island. Any food left out the critters show up quick. We kept all open items in the fridge, rinsed out soda cans/bottles and had no problem.
Power outlets are located along the baseboards and not very convenient to the beds if you like to be on your electronic device before bed or don't want to get up just turn off alarm or answer phone you may want to have long phone cord or 3ft extension cord packed.
There is an ABC store/gas station less than half block away convenient for sunblock, sodas, soap any of the basic necessities plus souvenirs. Approximately 1/2-mile south is a Times Grocery store which was very nice to have so close for food and snacks. Across the street from the grocery store was a nightly food truck lot with 6-8 food trucks with lights strung and picnic tables out. It was a little pricy as food trucks go, I thought, but you are on an island and food tends to cost more.
Bens partner Derek responded very quickly to any time we had an issue or questions.
Overall, Maui Sands was good for us.
