About this property

Relaxing Ocean Front Views on Maui! Island Sands Condominium

This rare ocean-front condo is stunning! Listen to the sound of the ocean from the comfort of your home, while watching whales (Dec-April) and Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles all year long!
Located a five minute walk from boats, Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, shops and restaurants at Maalaea Harbor!
The condo offers a fully stocked kitchen—convection toaster oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, and full size fridge. Washer and dryer.
The bedroom offers a beautiful teak King-sized bed, ample closet space and the tiled bathroom offers a large shower.
Remodeled and updated, 20 feet from the water! Designed for beauty and comfort, there is an air-conditioner, comfortable couch, pillow top queen-sized bed, large tiled shower, TV, WiFI, and lovely lanai with table and chairs. DID I MENTION THE VIEW? The view is enchanting! You simply cannot get closer to the water without jumping in!
Condo is located on fourth floor (elevator access) with 180 degree, unobstructed ocean views!
Ma'alaea is soooo conveniently located! Just about 12 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Costco, 15 minutes to Kihei, 25 minutes to Lahaina and 10 seconds to the ocean! Great surfing and snorkeling right out the front door, a long, beautiful beach for walks, shops, restaurants, the aquarium, and snorkel/dive boats, fishing boats, sunset cruises—all just five minutes away. There is a sweet little beach park just a five minute walk down the road. The Island Sands complex offers a pool as well!
Located off the the hwy, on a relatively remote beach where you will see almost no one else.
There is no more sugar cane on Maui so any write ups you may have seen about the inconvenience from burning sugar cane no longer happens!!
The view includes: watching the sunrise —or moonrise!—over Haleakala, gazing out to Molokini Crater, watching the sunset off of Kahoolawe, boats coming to and from the harbor, surfers at "Freight Train" surf site, Humpback whales from Dec. through April, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles all year long! It truly is magical, mesmerizing and ever-changing!
We live about 30 minutes away and are happy to greet you in person if need be, however, we are all set up for self-check in so you can get in easily. We are always a phone call or text message away if you need absolutely anything. Our goal is for you to have a great stay, so please let us know personally if we can do anything to improve your visit while you are here. There is also an office manager on site in case of emergencies.
Maui is best accessed by rental car as it gives you the most freedom to explore. however, there is a bus service that goes to Ma'alaea harbor. You can walk to shops, restaurants, great beach walks, boats, live music....all within minutes once you have arrived.
If you want to split up your Maui experience between the ocean and the forest/lush upcountry experience, we have a charming cottage (Gingerbread House) upcountry in Makawao, as well.

Absolutely Stunning
When we arrived, we walked straight to the lanai. I had to catch my breath when I looked out over the water! It was perfect. Sea turtles swimming, waves, surf, and the Island breeze all caught me by surprise. This place was perfect in every way. Eve was a very gracious host who went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable (understatement). Sunrise from the lanai was stunning. We stayed five days- next time I will book ten! Just WOW! April 15 through 19.

Love this place!!!
We were only able to stay overnight (needed a spot to sleep between arriving and sailing excursion at the harbor at 0-dark-hundred the next am). But we loved it!! So comfy. So many personal touches. The bed and pillows were so so so comfortable!! We were only there for 10 hours, but Eve checked in on us to make sure everything was great. I consider myself lucky, and this place was perfect!!! I’ve been to Maui many times - I would definitely stay here again (or anywhere that Eve hosts).

Very clean, excellent location, nice layout, fully equipped.
We had a great stay. Easy to locate, very comfortable. The management company had identified an issue before our arrival, notified us of the problem, and quickly resolved it. We intend to stay here again. I would caution that there are a few (5) stairs to navigate so that individuals who are unable to do so are not caught unaware.

About the host

Hosted by EVE HOGAN

Host profile image
We—Steve and Eve—met on Maui 30 years ago!
Steve ran a dive business to Molokini Crater for the last 34 years!) and is an underwater cinematographer. Eve is an author and speaker, labyrinth facilitator and runs Heart Path Journeys which offers personalized, private retreats focused on wellness, relationships and spirituality. We are both wedding officiants if you want to get married while on Maui! Eve also runs The Sacred Garden upcountry which is free and open to the public as a peace garden, nursery and sanctuary.
We have a one bedroom condo at Island Sands also, if you need another unit. We also have a charming vacation rental "Upcountry" Maui if you want to split your time between ocean and jungle/garden setting. We have a five-bedroom log house and a studio cottage "Gingerbread House" that are both listed on VRBO as well in Makawao.
Our goal is to be sure you have a great stay on Maui....we respect your privacy but we aim to be available if you need anything!

Why they chose this property

THE VIEW HERE IS MESMERIZING! You just cannot be any more "ocean front" than this! Whales and Turtles, snorkeling and surf right outside your lanai. The condo is clean, well stocked, and lovely for a private getaway, or honeymoon.
Ma'alaea is conveniently located, 12 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes to shops and restaurants, and in between Lahaina and Kihei.
Everything you need is here for the ultimate relaxing, heavenly experience.

What makes this property unique

PEACE and Quiet! Ma'alaea is soooo much less crowded than other parts of the island...such a great secret spot!
