This large two bedroom one and a half bath unit sleeps up to 6 people. This is a unit that sees guests coming back for a second, third stay and more!
The distance from the sliding door to the ocean is 15'. It's as close as you will find to the shore any where on Maui! The view spans the Au'au channel and encompasses a view of the island of Molokai and the north side of the island of Lanai. You will see turtles lunching on seaweed off the reef any time of the year, and if your stay is in the winter, between mid-November to mid-April you will be treated to the show the humpback whales put on while teaching their newborns to swim! Maui Sands is one of the first resorts on Maui. The grounds are lush and tropical with mature plantings, ranging from mango to banana to hibiscus and plumeria.

We love Maui Sands. This unit is truly 11ft from the ocean, walk out on the main floor. Easy ocean access and a fun reef to explore and Bob in the Pacific. This was our second time at Maui Sands and stayed in a different unit that was updated and more fresh. This unit is dated and the bathroom is not easy for those with mobility issues. The window coverings in the bedrooms let in the light so if light sensitive it is an issue for sleeping. All that said, Maui Sands ocean front units are the place to stay! Easy walking to stores, Java Jazz live music every night, Paridiso Pizza and easy walk to the boardwalk in Kanipali. 2.5 miles to black rock for a nice 5 mile walk. Mahalo!!
Wishing I was still there. Can the sound of waves be too loud?hehe, morning wlaks to the Sands of Kahana, swimming with a turtle between the reefs right in front of the property, whales in the distance everytime you look. Amazing. The grounds are beautiful and the location is extremely convenient. One of the BBQs wasn't good and the kitchen is a little awkward / dated but really, that's it for complaining :) Really memorable time!
