Maui Sands is a gem offering old-world Hawaiian charm. It's a calm, serene place with beautiful, lush grounds located directly on the ocean. The unit, itself, is beautifully remodeled using the best materials. Maui Sands is a peaceful, low density ocean-front condominium complex offering vintage old Hawaiian charm. Located on the most desirable west side of the island in Honokowai at the northern end of Kaanapali. We are low density and geared towards relaxation. The sundeck offers a perfect perch to watch the breathtaking sunsets while simultaneously looking at the beautiful islands of Molokai and Lanai. Turtles are often spotted, and during whaling season, there are so many of these majestic animals that one visitor referred to it as “whale soup!” Monk seals, spotted eagle rays and spinner dolphins are also spotted from the property.

You may call, email or text me with any needs you have. My husband and I have lived on Maui for 24 years and we are happy to make recommendations to help make your stay more enjoyable! Please take advantage of the wonderful Farmers Market across the street. They offer locally grown produce, and hold an outdoor market 3 days a week. There are many lovely restaurants and eateries nearby, and more located across the island. We have some of the recent guidebooks in the condo for you to use while you are here, and we are more than happy to make recommendations as well. Maui does have a public bus system, and works great for getting around West Maui. The bus stop is located just south on the road in front of the ABC store. If you want to wander further afield you will want to consider renting a car. I am happy to make recommendations for you. *Maui has some of the most expensive electricity in the country.
