Host Story: We are retired and veteran visitors to Maui! We purchased this condo after staying on the property several times. We wanted a special place we could truly call our second home, somewhere we could settle into and enjoy! Maui Sands is a Peaceful and Friendly place with good neighbors. It invites you to be calm and serene, and be happy! Our property manager is Heather Buono, owner of Grace Vacation Rentals Maui, and she has lived on the island for 30+ years. She is a great resource for activities! Location: Honokawai is located on the Northwest shore of Maui, with views of the islands of Molokai and Lanai across the Au’au channel. Maui Sands epitomizes old-school Hawaii ambiance. This is a low-density property with mature tropical grounds, including mango and banana trees. We are a very easy short walk from some lovely beaches and beach parks. There are many good local restaurants, a large grocery store, a food truck park, a coffee shop, and some great spa facilities, all within a 3-5 minute walk. One of the favorite things about this location is the mix of local permanent residents and visitors. Honokowai is the kind of neighborhood where people wave as they walk by! A short drive south is Whalers Village for more great shopping and eating, situated right on Ka’anapali Beach, and the Ka’anapali golf course. North towards Kapalua, there are 3 more championship golf courses, as well as fabulous beach walks and mountainside hiking! Nothing like a sunset view from the side of a volcano!
