For the perfect mix of island resort living with all the comforts of home, you’ll love the Elikapeka Suite at Sands of Kahana. Located on the west coast of Maui, you’ll have sandy beach access mere feet from our home, full views of the ocean, the island of Lanai’i, breathtaking sunsets, and the gorgeous West Maui Mountains all from your expansive --nearly 2000 square feet, air-conditioned, beachfront-- 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo suite. All of your needs can be met on the resort, but for those who want to explore all that Maui has to offer, Kaanapali, Kapalua, and downtown Lahaina are all just minutes away.

Our home is a corner unit 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, one-level, open floor plan condo with a large, gracious, fully-stocked kitchen, separate dining and living rooms, featuring two large lanais with direct ocean (from master & living room) and mountain views (2nd & 3rd bedrooms).

A few notes on frequently asked questions: -How close are you to the beach? You can see the beach from our living room window & front lanai. We haven't calculated the number of steps down to the ground floor and to the water, but it's not far. There are also many, many other beaches a short walk or drive from our home, so you can find your favorite! -Discounts: In short, no. Given the quality and size of our unit, the many on-site amenities that are included in your stay, and our competitive pricing relative to other three bedroom units and hotels in the area, we do not offer additional discounts other than what may be occasionally advertised here. -Number of guests: We cannot accommodate more than six guests due to insurance restrictions. -What building are you in/unit number/floor? We will not share this info until your reservation is paid-in-full. This is for security and guest privacy concerns as our calendar and pictures of our home are publicly available. -Length of stay: Stays of less than seven nights will be only be considered where there is an odd 'gap' between other bookings and additional nightly discounts may be available for those stays. -Are my dates available? Check the calendar! :) Depending on other bookings and time of year, we may ask if you have any flexibility in your dates. We recommend booking your accommodations before your flights if you have flexibility. -Cancellations: Your payments are non-refundable. Plan accordingly & buy travel insurance to protect your costs. -Cancel-for-any-reason Travel Insurance Recommended: Since group vacations to Maui can be very expensive, we highly recommend looking into trip insurance to protect you against any unexpected life events that may prevent you from honoring your stay. There are independent sites that allows you to compare coverage options or your credit card may offer something if you use it to pay for your stay. We can't afford to insure the costs of your stay which is why we have a non-refundable cancellation policy. -No jerk policy: We work very hard to ensure our guests have a great experience in our home. Our on-island team will go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. We practice aloha and expect the same from our guests. If you're not respectful in the reservation process, we won't trust you with our home. Mahalo (thank you) for considering making our home your Hawaiian haven while on Maui! ____________________ Required for all legal vacation rentals in Hawai'i: Hawai'i Transient Accommodations Tax ID: TA-018-148-7616-01 Hawai'i General Excise Tax ID: GE-018-148-7616-01 On-island caretaker contact information provided with all finalized reservations.
