Island Sands Resort 305

There are good and disappointing points to my stay. Overall this was not a horrible stay. We had ants in the kitchen. Lanai was crowded with furniture. The view was stunning. The rooms were stuffy with minimal air flow. Issue with property management, yes they were doing their job just not very professional in their approach. Plenty of dishes, towels and linens, wished for more laundry soap to be able to clean the towels during the week. I did buy my own but having it available would be nice. Unit above us had smokers in their unit so the main bathroom smelled like cigarette smoke. The shower in the mail bathroom made a big mess with water due to it's design. I did contact destination maui during my stay and they were overall helpful, but since the issue I was experiencing was through the property manager they could not help. Despite these issues we managed to have a very nice vacation, but I would look further into other condos in the area next time and may avoid these particular condos. We did like the location a lot.

We moved to Island Sands Resort from Kealia Resort, both Resort places are breath taking and we loved walking every day on the beach. We had a one bedroom at Kealia Resort & b/c my husband & I extended our stay in Maui, the Kealia Resort Condo that we were in was not available. Sherry placed us at the Island Sands Resort and we were not disappointed one bit! We will be back, hopefully soon or may be in March 2023. Our son usually travels with us, so we have to consider staying at Island Sands Resort #305 if it is available due to the size and coziness of this condo unit. We loved walking to the Marina and also access to the beach was not difficult at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation to Maui and thank you for making our visit relaxing and comfortable!

Condo was exactly as described. The view was spectacular, the pool was a bit small but was crystal clear and refreshing. For the 5 of us that stayed the only thing I would say was inconvenient was that there was no where to put wet towels. Even though the a/c was loud and drowned out the ocean sound it worked well for keeping the condo. The location was central to everything, I walked every morning and felt very safe and my husband was even lucky enough to see a turtle sunning itself on the little beach next to the bldg.

Great views! Convenient location. Condo was fully stocked.

The unit was smaller than what I expected but it's clean and well stocked with the amenities promised. Though there was no a/c in the bedrooms, there were plenty of fans and there is an a/c in the living room. The TV was not working but was fixed as soon as I called Rosemarie. Christina was also very helpful answering some of my questions. Over all, excellent experience.

The unit was very well equipped. Sunsets over the ocean are not visible as they are behind the ridge. Only one restaurant for dinner within walking distance and that was not very good. Needs a light over the dining table.

Great area with pool and beach. Would not recommend this condo which has potential

We had a great time here. The condo is well appointed and very roomy. Appreciated having some beach chairs available too! Overall great spot where a couple turtles come up to catch some rays.

While this location is centrally located which is nice to have everything 20 -25 minutes away. It needed some work when we first got there. The 4 fans in the place only 1 worked (but the one that worked was filled with dirt(we cleaned it), The shower head was squirting out from he connection, there was a window that was sealed with tape that all the tape had come loose, and if you opened the sliding glass door it went off track every time. We called the building lease right away. They came up fixed the shower, brought us 3 new fans and took the old ones away and re-taped the window. Great response. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place. If you are looking for an economical place that has a few bruises this is your place.

This was by far one of our top three favorite all time vacations. The condo was perfect for us and was located in the perfect location!

It’s a very well equipped apartment with enough space for four adults. Everything was very clean check in was easy. The apartment is in walking distance to the harbor with some shops restaurants and then aquarium and to a very nice little beach. Everything else is reachable by car. The only disadvantage is that the apartment is situated directly in the landing zone of the airport the planes are flying very low over the apartment.

Nice Accommodations

We enjoyed our stay here. We are a family of 4 with 2 children ages 4 and 7-months. The unit had everything we needed (excluding child specific items), and more. The size was great and the bedroom location worked well for us. Clean and well maintained. The only drawback we saw in the location was that food and groceries were a bit of a drive away... Beach Bums restaurant was not our cup of tea so we had to go to Kihei or back to the airport or to Lahaina for a bite. Other than that, great place.

Great stay. We enjoyed the proximity to the Aquarium.
Appreciated the room having ice chests, beach umbrella and many other amenities.
