Maui Sands Aoao

This was the perfect vacation rental for our family of 5. We stayed 10 days. It was beautifully decorated with that Hawaiian charm, very clean and you can’t beat the ocean front view! You could watch the sunset from your own lanai as well as watch the Sea Turtles and fish eating off of the reef. It was amazing! The kids loved it. We even saw guests snorkeling/​swimming right out front, although the surf can be a bit crazy for younger children. The condo had everything we needed with it’s open floor plan; including plenty of bath towels, standard toiletries and kitchen equipment. It’s close to great beaches and shopping, (not more than 15 minutes from Front Street). We would definitely recommend this condo. We gave it 4 stars only because we weren’t fans of the bidet in the bathroom. It took up unnecessary space in my opinion.

This is generally for Maui Sands, specifically for Unit 4B
You arrive to a 1960s like vista — Maui Sands, and it is like a trip back in time. Surrounded by modern monster hotels, you tuck yourself into this small area, and the biggest worry is finding the proper parking. But once you do, you find that being in the 1960s isn’t bad, from the outside, nice grasses, palm trees and such. But will the rental be old and outdated?
Not so much — beautiful inside, and then — you open the back glass doors. Not only is it the 21^st century, it is now timeless. The sound of the surf is never to be forgotten. You are indeed 10 feet from the ocean — first floor, 10 foot walk straight out, then fall 15 feet to your death on the rocks. OK, don’t do that. Just a walk skip and a jump to your right are stairs down to the actual water. And a shower is there too, after you snorkel.
It was all marvelous! Could I complain — sure — replace the toaster. The pull down breaks off, barely misses your ear, flies across the room, and was quite scary. Sure, I «fixed» it, but it will happen again. And I understand that it is 1.5 baths — wish it could be 2.0, but understand why not. Still, the shower is claimable by both bedrooms, especially if everyone is friendly (and you’d hope so!)
But NO deductions to the stars. I NEVER tend to return to the same place — I have a «been there done that» attitude. This is an exception. If I return to Maui, I would come here again, without a doubt. Just for the timelessness of the surf and the sunsets from the lanai.

Amazing price point. Only bad thing is the AC unit is not that great and we went to
Bed more than one night on the sheets. I love the fact they had body boards, beach towels, coolers, and an amazing view. Very hospitable.

it has everything we need in this condo. Also have a fantastic privet beach just in front of our room. It is a heaven for us!

For us it was 5 stars all the way. We stayed at unit 717 (
), which is suitable for a couple, no room for kids. This what you call home away from home! great location, close to everything, and great beaches access in a walking distance. We love walking and hiking so this was an extra treat for us. A famous one is black rock beach, about an hour of casual walk on the side walk or 45 minutes on the shoreline sand (think no parking…) with about 5 – 6 wonderful beaches on the way. The unit is less than a minute away from hwy 30, the location is simply great. Beautifully updated, super comfortable and useful, great bathroom and bedroom, WI-​FI connected and working. When you arrive, make sure to enter the parking lot right across from the Fish Market restaurant, not the one near ABC stores and gas station.
The unit also had a full library of books about the area which comes very handy even with «Everything on the net» today. The owners were very good with the instructions on how to get in, connecting to the wireless in the room etc, and their effort o make the place attractive are worth your attention.
Overall, great experience, not a single thing to complain about, very refreshing :-)!
Thank you Claire & Tracy, we will back sometimes in the near future.

Traumhafte Anlage abseits der Betonburgen
die einfach schrecklich aussehn!
Maui Sands eine Anlage mit so viel Charme
tropischer gepflegter Garten Poolanlage auch ok!
Appartement 6E war wirklich toll es fehlte an nix
Auch die direkte Meerlage ist toll mit der Ausssichtsterrasse wo man jeden Abend traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge beobachten konnte.
Wir kommen wieder
