Our stay at the Sands of Kahana in Cynthia's condo was beyond amazing. There was no detail that was left out and the condo was easily the best accommodation we could have imagined for our stay in Maui. Cynthia literally is the most amazing host. She quickly responded to any questions that we had and was so on top of everything. We were so appreciative of her hospitality!
The condo was on the 8th floor and the views from the minute you walk through the front door were endlessly beautiful. Panoramic ocean views that took you all the way to Moloka'i and Lanai. The condo itself was truly set up so that we could walk right in, unpack and go out and explore. Not a detail was left out. The condo literally had everything we needed to be very comfortable for our 10 day stay. From the hand and shower soap, to the laundry detergent, to the towels and kitchen appliances, we had everything! There was also a storage closet with plenty of beach towels, extra bath towels, games and baby supplies too! We bought a couple of beach chairs that we left in the closet so that the next vacationers will have those too! The condo was immaculately kept and with personal touches everywhere. We were so lucky to have stayed there.
As for the location of the condo, IT WAS PERFECT TOO! Walking distance to a general store, wonderful coffee shop. Maui Brewing Company, activities store and at least 2 other restaurants (McDonald's too if you need some Diet Coke;)). By the way, if you love fresh caught sushi, Miso Phat which is directly across the street from the condo, was incredible! Kaanapali was a short 7-8 minute drive and Lahaina about 15 minutes. We often took taxi's or Uber'd to these locations. Great happy hours and restaurants. We loved shopping at Kaanapali's Whaler's Village and the food there too, especially at Monkeypod and Hula Girl (try the lime in da coconut cocktail!) Napali Marketplace is about 4 min North of condo and has great little shops and a grocery market which was really convenient. There is another large grocery store about 5 min south of condo and also a Safeway in Lahaina. We literally could find anything around us! Kapalua was about a 5 minute drive from the condo and was beautiful as well. We found some great sandy beaches along the way to Kapalua and in Kapalua. Great for swimming, paddleboarding, bodysurfing, snorkeling, etc. If you're up for about an hour's drive, Pa'ia is a great town and the best seafood restaurant we have ever eaten at, Mama's Fish House, is located there as well. It snowed on Haleakala unfortunately, so it was closed for sunrise viewing for the week we were there. But, we know it's the best way to enjoy Maui at Sunrise!
In a nutshell, if you want a top notch place to stay with an incredible host to top it all off, this is the condo for you!
