Makani Sands

"beautiful ocean front condos. Gorgeous grounds fabulous management. rent for very reasonable prices"

"Beachfront condo w ocean views! Beach & Turtles out your front door… what more could you ask for?! Tammy the property manager is the sweetest most helpful person on this island. She is so accommodating - had my room set up with Hawaiian music, wine and chocolates. Heaven! Literally a dream. Highly recommend."

"Dec 28-jan4 2023 unit 310. If your idea of “island bugs”as listed in the rental contract includes cockroaches then you’ll be fine. This place was full of them. The moment I walked in I saw them, on the floor, in the dish cupboard, sink, dishwasher, closet, Bathroom. I would have moved places but nothing over the holiday was available in my price range. We paid over $1000 a night for this condo during this holiday season. The staff was aware of the bug problem and the owner would not give any refund, they did give me traps to set out along with the traps they had already set. My girls spent the nights crying scared of the bugs. I asked the people staying in the unit next to us I believe 309, they said they saw a few cockroaches in their place too- but just dead ones. I give it two stars because the location was perfect and the bedroom set up was what I needed. The upstairs two king beds didn’t have any bugs. I was just sick the entire time we were there, knowing the bugs were crawling on the dishes, even in the dishwasher. I kept all our food in the fridge even the peanut butter as to keep it safe. My main worry was bringing one of the bugs home with me! A relaxing island vacation blackened by stress and tears. The positive was we didn’t have to be at the condo other than to sleep."

"We loved Makani Sands and will definitely stay here again - saw so many sea turtles, enjoyed beautiful sunsets, condo was nice and clean, minutes drive to great snorkel beaches, condo includes nice beach chairs, umbrella and even beach towels, what a bonus!! Tammy could not have been nicer to work with! The renovation was the only tiny let down, but we thought the 25% discount took the sting out of that! Thanks Tammy for a great vacation celebrating our 40th anniversary! Post edit, read review from another that stayed in 202, which was our condo as well - he's right about the sheets, they were pilled - we had not stopped and thought about that, maybe a new set of sheets would be a good investment, also, we did not find the kitchen / washer area awkward."

"We stayed in unit 309. 5 Adults and 2 young children. The views were amazing! I watched the sunrise from the back lanai and sunsets on the 2 balconies’ facing the ocean. Just spectacular. Turtles swimming just outside and we were also able to see whales coming out of the ocean from our balcony. The location was very convenient for us. Although there is no real beach to sit on outside the condos, we had no issues driving 5-10 min to visit several amazing beaches nearby. The management staff was kind and worked with us. We had a very pleasant experience with them. The inside of the condo could use some updates. Especially living room sofas and mattresses. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully renovated and beautiful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. We only used the pool one day. It was larger than I expected and lots of room to sit around the pool as well."
