About this property

Direct Ocean Property - Oversized 2BD /2BTH - AC - DECEMBER / JANUARY SPECIALS

Maui Sands unit 1J. Sleeps 6, 2 full bathrooms, central AC.

West Maui / North Kaanapali / Honokowai Area:

Direct Ocean Front Property - 1000 sq feet.

A spacious 1000 sq. ft. 2 bed 2 full bath highly upgraded unit located on a direct ocean front property which sleeps 6. Maui Sands is a Direct Ocean Front property facing the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Swim, snorkel, surf, kayak right from our property! No need to pack the car and drive anywhere! Amazing sunsets every night!

Maui Sands Unit 1J (Watch the video!)
We truly believe we have the nicest unit in the entire complex and the ONLY unit at Maui Sands with 2 full bathrooms and central air conditioning. Most other units have the older window ac units or none at all. Our unit can accommodate up to 6 guests. 3 queen mattresses. Queen in master and 2nd bedroom and a queen sized pull out sofa sleeper. We also have 2 full bathrooms with customized showers.

Our Private Lanai:
Our lanai is where you'll spend most of your time sipping cocktails and having great conversations. With seating for 6, it's very comfortable and you'll be able to watch your other guests or your kids play at the pool below during the day and star gaze at night.

Unit 1J Features:
- Full kitchen (fridge, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker and blender)
- High speed Internet Wi-Fi
- Travertine kitchen floors
- Granite Countertops
- Beach towels
- TV’s in every room
- Central AC
- Pull out sofa sleeper (front room)
- Master Bedroom: Queen bed, AC, ceiling fan, wall mounted TV.
- 2nd Bedroom: Queen bed, AC, ceiling fan, wall mounted TV.
- Both bedrooms we have placed white noise machines for deep sleep!

Unit 1J Location:
2nd floor (top) and overlooks the pool and garden area of the property in building 1. Although our property is on the ocean, this unit does not have much of an ocean view. More like a "peek - a - boo" small ocean view between the palm trees. However, you can still hear the ocean waves during a swell and it's only a one-minute walk past the pool to our ocean entrance area.

Maui Sands Property Location:
- Direct Ocean Front Property facing the islands of Lanai and Molokai.
- Just 5 minutes from Kaanapali and 10 to Lahaina town
- Very end of North Kaanapali Beach in between Papakea resort and Paki Maui.
- Walk to Kaanapali, black rock or Dukes Restaurant ON THE BEACH.
- Very quiet and peaceful.
- Large grass areas, large pool (non heated, but no need!) and 2 bib areas

Maui Sands Property features:
- Large pool area with BBQ grills, ice machine, picnic tables and soda machine.
- Direct Ocean Front Property!
- Swim, swim and swim some more!
- View turtles, octopus, monk seals, baby lobsters, puffer fish and all kinds of marine animals.
- Baby beach area during low tide! (Only a foot deep during low tide)
- Buy the kids small nets and they’ll spend hours trying to catch the small fish
- No need to pack up the car and drive to go snorkel, swim, surf or kayak.
- Snorkel and enjoy our two reefs right in front of our property
- Collect seashells
- Last property you can actually walk ON THE BEACH to Kaanapali and black rock
- Enjoy beautiful sunset walks starting next door at Papakea

Beach Walk:
Walk for miles to Kaanapali ON THE BEACH starting next door at Papakea! Walk to Dukes Restaurant, Black Rock or Whalers Village.
No property north of us can you walk on a beach more than 5 minutes? Depending on high or low tide, you may have to step in the ocean and walk to the next property, Papakea to start you beach walk. If you don’t want to walk on the sand, when you reach Kaanapali Shores, you can walk on the walking path to black rock or all the way to whaler’s village in Kaanapali.

Our Beach:
Since we are at the very end of a super long beach (North Kaanapali Beach), the sand moves up and down the beach a lot. It comes and goes depending on storms, tides and the currents but typically during the summer months we have more sand out front. If you have to layout on the sand during these times, feel free to walk to the ocean front park just on the other side of Paki Maui. They have a large beach area with sand all year around. And no, we cannot predict when we will have a large sand area in from of Maui Sands. The sand moves up and down the coast a lot!

Area around Maui Sands: (Within ½ mile you'll find...)
- Bus stop next door. $2/ride. (Takes you to Kaanapali and Lahaina)
- Grocery stores, bars, coffee shops, many restaurants
- Honokowai Beach Park
- Health food store and farmers market.

Condo is in a great location

Clean and well-equipt condo. Good value for the money. Easy parking and great location. The tides were really high and strong and not much room on the beach for laying out. Very noisy on the road at night. The noise-canceling machines helped, but could still hear cars/trucks racing by.

Good location, lovely property

Condo is updated, with new bathroom remodels and new appliances. Includes adequate dishes, pots and pans for basic cooking. No water toys or beach chairs come with this unit, few left-over cooking ingredients, so bring your own or rent them. This unit’s bedrooms face the road, and owner has considerately provided white noise machines if needed. Property is pretty and well cared for, with a nice pool. Not particularly little kid friendly though — pool has no steps or shallow part for little ones; beach is a narrow strip of sand and rocks that is a HUGE step down from property and there is not room to set up beach chairs — water often right up to steps. BUT the water is crystal clear and there is good snorkeling between the two reefs right out front.

Very Comfortable!

Big mahalo goes out to Hawaii for the lovely stay! What went right: very nice/kind property manager, beautiful ocean access, walking distance to park, bigger beach area (Honopiilani Beach), grocery store, moped rental, amazing cinnamon rolls, laundry room in complex, coffee shop. We had a great unit! We overheard other vacationers comment that they didn’t have good A/C and were too hot/miserable. Not so with us. We used the A/C sparingly customized by room and were VERY comfortable sleeping. Bathrooms, beds, kitchen, lanai - all perfect! What could be improved: maybe small shampoo/ conditioner? It’s a average rating for lux—- no “extras” that make you feel spoiled. The snorkeling near the unit was not good- but we visited just after a storm and the waves were pretty energetic even after the murk settled. So that’s could have just been our luck of the draw. We would recommend this lovely place for the family who is more interested in quality family time more than a “spoiled spa” experience.

Value for the money!

Amazing location. Close to ABC stores. 2 minutes walk to the ocean. Amazing sunsets and great for morning walks alongside the ocean. It was connected to other condo/resort backyard beaches and was easy to meet friends there. Nice swimming pool which was never crowded.There was a mini book library too. Hardly 2 or 3 people at any point of time. The condo was very spacious. Very good cross ventilation the entire time. Whole place was cool and airy the whole stay. Even in the nights, we had the patio door open which made it very comfortable. The noise from the road was a bit more than what we expected but we got used to it. Very thoughtful of the host to provide white noise machines in the bedrooms. We wished the washer/dryer was inside our rooms but it was still fine to operate the common area washer/dryer using the Mobile App(instead of looking for Quarters). We had to go buy washer tablets from the nearby ABC store for this though. The Maui food bank in the opposite complex was useful to donate the leftover excess grocery that was unopened.

Disappointed

We stayed here in March 2015. if you book this Condo, be aware the OVEN and ICE MACHINE are NOT working. There's a small counter top oven. If you plan on eating out, this won't be problem. But cooking for 5 people was difficult. The oven in the unit has not been working for more than 10 months--so the owners aren't rushing to get this fixed. Also, both bedrooms back up to a busy street. If you live in a big city, you'll probably be able to sleep through the morning noise. Since my family lives in a quiet small town, we had trouble sleeping past 6am. This is NOT a relaxing condo. None of the above issues were disclosed. If we knew prior to booking this condo, we would have stayed somewhere else! In addition, the condo description states a "peak-a-boo" look at the ocean. Due to tree growth, you will not see the ocean from the lanai. The condo faces the pool and has a lovely few of the gardens. The bedroom TV's are old and very small. Wasn't a problem for us, since we don't watch much TV. The condo has been remodeled and was very clean. Average pool. Not able to swim/snorkel at the water front of the property. Too many rocks. Stayed March 2015. Would NOT recommend this unit.

Lovely Spacious Condo

Maui Sands 1J was a great condo for our vacation needs. It was clean, the beds and pillows were comfortable, the A/C worked great, and it was located close to all our activities. Our first night after traveling all day, we walked to nearby food trucks to eat. Very convenient since we were pretty tired. Kory, the owner, was very responsive to our questions and came out within the hour to assist with my concern. Turned out it was my error. He also brought us extra toilet paper, so we never had to shop for any. The tide was up the whole week, but there were plenty of sandy beaches nearby. So no problem! You could still use the beach and sit on the grassy area by the entrance. I would recommend this condo to anyone and would stay here again if I came back to Maui!

Great property and location!

This condo was perfect for our Maui stay and we will definitely return. The ocean access was phenomenal and loved the grill access. One thing to note is that the condo faces the street, which can get loud very early in the morning. People walking past not only make a lot of noise (the sound seems to carry) but will also shake the room a bit. We were there to explore so getting up early wasn't really a problem, but it can be jarring.

Comfortable and clean

Condo interior was older than anticipated and could use some loving care (coat of paint would help.) We did enjoy our stay and overall a peaceful, pleasant 3 nights. Pool code was changed and on site manager should notify property managers. Area was fine but no place to take a walk. Ocean water high on retainer wall. (Literature does state tides csn be high but judging by the area beach walk seems very rare to non-existent.

Maui Vacation 2022

The property was well kept and comfortable. We really enjoyed the pool and the grounds. The shower head broke while we were there but the property manager was very responsive and fixed it quickly. The only downfall is that they were doing construction in the unit directly below us for three of the days we were there. That was hard as we would come back to rest after being at the beach and there was a lot of banging going on. I'm not entirely sure the neighborhood is safe as we were followed back to property by two rough looking individuals (one who was wearing a hoodie and the other got out and lit a cigarette while observing us). We did not exit the vehicle but left and they proceeded to leave right after we left. I'm not sure what their intentions were but our spidey senses were definitely going off. I would say that just like anywhere be aware of your surroundings. All in all it was beautiful and we enjoyed it immensely.

Great location, a bit noisy

The location here was great for exploring the west coast of Maui. The beach area directly at this property is mostly good for snorkeling. The condo itself was nice and as expected, the pool was warm every day, and the view and proximity to beach were great. The road noise was somewhat of an issue but the white noise machines did help. The other noisy part was the downstairs neighbor doing renovations the week we stayed, this also caused lots of dust on the lanai. Overall this was a great place to stay, would definitely recommend if you don’t want to pay the cost of a resort.

Basic lodging in a great area

Pros: short walk to grocery store (Times), places to eat, and beaches. Wonderful lanai for relaxing, comfortable beds, good Wi-Fi. Cons: Needs minor maintenance (cabinets in kitchen, master toilet runs, bathroom shower hard to turn off). Furniture needs updated to be comfortable, kitchen isn’t well stocked (bare utensils, no pizza cutter, bring your own tinfoil and plastic wrap, 1 kitchen towel). Our 2 families of adults and 1 infant had plenty of space and enjoyed our visit. We would stay here again, but know to bring or rent beach chairs, all ocean gear, and stop at Costco for kitchen and food first.

About the host

Hosted by Kory Skolnick

Host profile image
We remodeled this unit 5 years ago and added central air conditioning and a 2nd bathroom! We are the only unit in all of Maui Sands that has two bathrooms! Please enjoy our condo and fall in love with Maui and this property! Our condo is managed by Kory Skolnick at Maui Sea Breeze Vacation Rentals.

Why they chose this property

We stayed here on vacation 10 years ago and fell in love with the neighbors and how quiet the property was directly on the ocean. Every night we go down to the ocean deck and meet other owner and renters and sip on our cocktail. It's old school Hawaii where the plants on the property are now trees! You'll love the interior of this property! Very spread out and spacious units. Like how it used to be in Hawaii

What makes this property unique

Snorkeling right in front of our property! Many days we don't even leave the property. My husbands snorkels for a few hours and ill read and watch. Then I'll lounge at the pool while he chit chats with everyone around the pool area. We also love the central location. If we want to go to dinner in Lahaina and walk around, it's only 5-10 minutes away. If we want to enjoy the best beach in the entire world...we drive 2 minutes to Kaanapali Beach. If we want to swim with dolphins we head up 5 minutes north to Kapalua Bay.
