Photos and Description of the Honokowai vacation condo rental
Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)

NEW WIFI installed for use by our guests during their entire stay!

Our brand new remodeled one bedroom one bath condominium located 62 steps from the Ocean is on the ground floor. You can walk directly out across the lawn to the waters edge.

The complex has 3.5 acres of lush beautiful tropical grounds on an “Old Hawaiian” style development with only 76 units. This ocean front complex sits at the northern tip of North Kaanapali. Feel like you’re a million miles away from all your worries and relax under the swaying palm trees. This low density complex is in a very quiet area of west Maui yet you are only minutes to all of the activities that Maui offers.

Two reefs run parallel to the front of the complex that harbor many species of fish to be discovered while swimming and snorkeling (we supply the snorkeling gear and boogie board, you only need to bring yourself). Enjoy the viewing area to see if you can spot the whales migrate in front of the complex during the winter months. Enjoy the refreshing sparkling swimming pool and lounge area in the center of the complex. Just steps from this unit is a freestanding complete barbecue to cook fresh fish that you can purchase across the street at the fresh fish market or catch in the ocean (no license required).

Within three blocks is virtually every service you will need during your stay, including a gourmet coffee shop, health food store and west Maui’s farmers market open on Monday, Wednesday’s and Friday’s from 7-11 AM. A local dive shop & fishing gear store, gas station, bicycle rental, major grocery market, restaurants, deli and bar are two block walk.

The condo was completely taken down to the studs and rebuilt with new sheet rock plus new granite counters, stainless appliances, new tile, new custom wood cabinets, all new fixtures and lighting (including ceiling fans). New tile was installed on the Lanai that leads you to the ocean.

The unit is wheel chair accessible (there is a 5” tile rise to get into the shower). Right next door to the unit is the laundry facilities to provide clean clothes.

Take a stroll along the beach all the way to the “Black Rock” at Sheraton or hit the boardwalk promenade that runs in front of the North Kaanapali resorts and taking you past mega mansions. People watching at its finest, plus the ocean view is pretty nice too.

Bring back great memories as you enjoy your vacation on Maui at the classic Hawaiian Style Maui Sands remodeled condo.

About David Llewellyn

My wife and I live in a ski resort town in the Rockies and we needed to find a warm weather getaway location and after visiting Florida and Arizona then finally Maui the decision was instant that Maui was going to be the place. My wife's number one requirement when we get to Maui is to go out Whale watching during the winter months. Coming from a ski resort where the average temperature during the winter is 32 degrees the 80 degree plus weather in Maui is like heaven. Once we get here we enjoy our morning walks along the boardwalk promenade that takes us along the ocean in front of the high rise hotels on Kaanapali Beach. No matter what we are doing on Maui it's the best island in the world!

David Llewellyn purchased this condo in 2010
Why David Llewellyn chose Honokowai

Having been to Maui over the years we stayed in South Maui and West Maui and decided for us the West shore was where we wanted to be. Once decided we then scouted for a specific location. What drew us to Maui Sands was the great location on the ocean and the fact that it wasn't a high rise complex with hoards of people. We love the quaint quiet of Maui Sands and the fact that the buildings are only two stories tall. You always have a view of the ocean or the mountains behind the complex. Being only a five minute drive to the shops and restaurants at Kaanapali and only eight minutes to downtown Lahaina gives us the best of all worlds. My wife and i got married on maui and this island is very special to us. The landscaping at Maui Sands is very lush and tropical and enhances the overall feeling of the complex. With two reefs in front of the complex the snorkeling is great and allows us to enjoy the ocean. We have many shops and vendors within a block of the complex which is great for gourmet coffee, grocery shopping and other services. We have loved Maui Sands so much that we just bought two more condos here and will remodel them and have them available the summer of 2011.

What makes this condo unique

Our location is great ! Within four blocks are three shopping centers, a health food store, jazz club, gourmet coffe shop, ABC store and gas station, major grocery store, fresh seafood deli, bicycle rentals, moped rentals, snorkeling gear rentals, etc. We are mid way between Kaanapali and Kapalua and the dining choices abound. We did a major remodel of our condo all the way down to the sheet rock so it is completely brand new inside with all new furnishings too.

I think David and Cheryl's condos here (three of them at Maui Sands) are the best deal you're going to find in West Maui. The complex is quiet, the landscaping is beautiful, the ocean is right there, beaches are a very short walk away, and David has done an amazing job updating these units. They have all the luxury of a unit you'd pay three times as much for at any of the bigger resorts, plus several sets of snorkel gear and board games. The kitchen is fully stocked so you can cook in, and there's a BBQ on site. And you're only minutes away from Lahaina to the south, or Napili/Kapalua to the north.

We are a family with young children (7 & 3 yrs old). We totally enjoyed the stay in this Maui Sands condo. This is truly a home away from home. The decor in the condo was awesome with Hawaii island themed furniture, granite counter top and full stocked kitchen-ware. We were able to cook, BBQ, and pack picnics for the daily outings. The beds were comfortable and the parents enjoyed the extra TV in the bedroom while the kids hogged the one in the living room.

The location of the condo was also good to do a quick grocery run or pick up a cup of joe - Java Jazz & Soup Nutz is a must visit!! There is a plate lunch place right across the street that saved our hungry family couple late nights.

Two things you might want to know about the condo:
1. No beach access. You have to walk 5 min to get to sand. But there is a platform in the complex where you can drink coffee and enjoy the ocean view. Must do in the morning!
2. The layout of the condo 6D is a bit odd. You have to go through the bathroom to enter the bedroom. It was fine for our family since you don't get bathroom privacy with small children running around anyways.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to make your stay in Maui even better!

Great condo David. This is a really nice condo. The 'hide a bed' was quite comfortable. I could hear the waves crashing from the 'hide a bed'. Everything in the condo worked like new. We didn't need to use the airconditioning, the fans and breeze was more than enough. At times we didn't need the fan in the livingroom either. It was handy having the BBQ just a few feet from the lanai. Java Jazz was a great spot to just relax over a cup of java and a good conversation. (thanks for the suggestion) It took all of 5 minutes to walk from the condo to 'Times Market' for groceries and other things. The prices were reasonable too. The location is great and would recommend it to anyone wanting to spend time in Maui. The drive to the other parts of the island was nice to; after all we drove to Paia just to listen to a live band at 'Charley's.' The sunsets were great right from the lookout too. Al summed it up well... "what more do you want." Thanks for everything, Garth, Al & Diane.

I stayed here with my 7 yr old son last week. The condo is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need. The backyard beach was not swimmable the first few days because of rough surf and wind, but at other times/seasons I'm sure its fine for an adult. The location is great, close to everything. We had a wedding to attend at Olowalu and were concerned about distance, but I'm so so glad we didn't stay in/near Lahaina or on Kaanapali Beach. Some roof construction work was being done on the adjacent building but that began at 8 am and was done by 5 and only during the weekdays. Okazuya Deli was great for quick good fast food, especially on the first night. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of fun toys in the storage locker. Maui has great snorkeling opportunities. I made arrangements with the Ocean Project for a private lesson for my son and it was fantastic, the best thing we did the entire week! Sea turtles, eagle rays and all sorts of fish. Haleakala NP was the second most amazing thing. I'm a Kauai girl and its hard to compare the two islands. One week is just not enough time to explore the island and have time to relax too. If I have the opportunity to return to Maui, I will definitely stay at Maui Sands again. Thank you David and Cheryl!

My husband and I just returned from eleven days in the condo at Maui Sands. The condo was just right for the two of us (it would work well with two little ones also) and SO well appointed. We've stayed in many condos over the last twenty years, few as nicely done as this one-And very reasonably priced as well. We enjoyed the view from the lookout, the beautifully remodeled kitchen, bathroom and lanai were also perfect-Just as nice as the pictures show. The owners provided all we needed for the beach, games for our evenings and the bbq was right outside our unit. The beach path was just up the road, groceries and shopping were just outside the driveway. Perfect! The onsite manager was a very nice guy, we never really needed anything we just enjoyed talking with the local residents. All in all, I would highly recommend this place. We would love to go back again someday. Thanks David and Cheryl!

David and Cheryl: We want you to know how very pleased we were with the condo we stayed at last week in Maui. My husband and I, along with our two kids had a great time with this condo being our "home base." What a beautiful place - the renos are lovely! It was set up with everything we needed, and then some. It was everything I expected it to be based on your website and our email communications. Thank-you! We had an excellent time in Maui, and would not hesitate to go again. The opportunities to relax or to be adventurous on that part of the Island are plentiful,, and after having seen the rest of the island, I would likely book at Maui Sands again, as it is very reasonably priced, clean, and convenient to many excellent beaches and eating places. Again - thanks.

I enjoyed a week at this condo with my adult son. The owners were so helpful about getting me all kinds of information, including where to shop for groceries, where to find beaches, etc. It was my first time using VRBO, so I needed some help with how everything worked. We enjoyed using the snorkeling equipment and boogie boards they had. There is no beach right at the condo (but reefs for snorkeling, as mentioned) but there is a very close beach an Ka'anapali that you can walk to. We also loved the state park beaches, and snorkeling in Honolua Bay. It is really awesome to sit out the back of the condo and enjoy the sunset over Molokai; I'm thinking I may go back during whale-watching season some day.
The kitchen and living area are awesome. It felt so clean and open. The pull-out bed was even comfortable, my son said. I'd say the only unusual thing was that you go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom (which is also beautiful and very comfortable), so if anyone is in the bathroom, you can't get to the bedroom. It was a very minor problem, just unusual. We were there in mid-July and hardly used the a/c, as there were so many windows to open and get a cross-breeze. It was so pleasant!
I would recommend this rental. I think it would be impossible to not leave happy and wanting to return.

This place is a true gem. After searching vrbo and craigslist we finally settled on this place after talking to the owner, Dave. My fiancé and I actually got engaged right out on the deck over the ocean, a truly magical setting. I have been going to Maui for over 20 years and have stayed all over the island and the location is one of the best on the entire island. You can really feel at home here and are walking distance to everything you need. Make sure you go check out the mixed plate place "Ono kau kau" just down the street for some of the best priced and delicious local style food on the island. Everythingnin the condo is absolutely top notch, the pictures don't do it justice! The owners are great and went out of their way to make our stay a wonderful experience and were always available to answer any questions we had. Best vacation ever! Thanks Dave and Cheryl!

Owner's Response: Adam and jessica were great guests at our condo in West Maui. When we found out that they got engaged right on the deck overlooking the ocean just steps from our lanai, we were thrilled. It felt like our beach bungalow really ment something special to the two of them. My wife and I happened to be staying in our other condo in the complex at the time and I offered to take some engagement photos of the two of them at the same deck area.

We hope to see Adam and Jessica again at our condo on the ocean!

My boyfriend and I just returned home after staying a week at the Maui Sands condo. We had a great time. The condo is clean and comfortable with new furnishings and appliances. The lanai is cool and relaxing- you can hear the waves as you sit and enjoy dinner or drinks. The condo is located in a complex that consists of several 2 story complexes- not a large highrise which we wanted to avoid. The grounds are beautiful and tropical. The beach is great if you want to snorkel and there are several excellent beaches within a short drive. We definitely will come back especially in February to watch the whales playing right off the beach.

Owner's Response: We are glad that our last guests enjoyed their stay in our Maui Sands condo. This spring my wife and I are returning to Maui for an extended stay to add a few more improvements to our condo on the ocean. We are pride of ownership investors and always want our guests to have a great stay and we will continue to keep our condo in tip top shape.
