Wow, what a great stay we had at Island Sands unit #605. The unit is beautifully decorated, well stocked with everything you could need and very clean. We spent a good portion of our time sitting out on the lanai enjoying the spectacular ocean views. There is something special about starting your day with a nice cup of coffee and... More

We absolutely love Nikta's beautiful 2BD/2BA unit at Island Sands and we cannot wait to go back. There is access to a great little beach right behind the building and most days we were the only ones on it. We fished right off the beach and caught enough papio and lai for two nights dinners, which we BBQd down stairs... More

Ocean view? What a rip off to be charged over 200 a night for the promised ocean view and then find out you had the one unit that has NO view when seated ( as in relaxing on vacation) and if you stand you can see a bit of ocean between the shed and another building. Extremely disappointed. The only... More

This is our second trip back to the Island Sands in Maalaea, and I promise we will come back again. We discovered Nikta Houston a few years ago and she introduced us to Maalaea. We had previuosly stayed ay the posh resorts in Wailea and Kaanapali, but we have now fallen in love with this less crowded, great beach and... More

Our stay at Island Sands was so enjoyable. The condo is spacious, wonderfully decorated and stocked with all you will need to feel at home. The lanai looks out to the ocean which is literally in the backyard and just off the harbor a reef break produces succulent waves that call you into the water. The grounds are really well... More

Reserving this unit was effortless. Nikta always responded in a timely manner and went above and beyond our expectations. The complex was well cared for and quiet. The unit itself was large, clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed as well as items to take out and about (beach chairs, coolers, maps, beach towels, etc). This unit is... More

Our stay at Island Sands #605 in April was fabulous. It is furnished with everything you could possibly need. It even had beach chairs and sand mats that we took to Makena Beach. The view is stunning and unobstructed. It is very quiet and relaxing. The decor is lovely and the grounds are beautiful. Both bedrooms and baths were well-furnished... More

I can sum it up in one word.......roaches. Ick! Needs some fixing up. One of the small bathroom windows was broke and wouldn't open so it would get extremely stuffy in there. Dryer only worked on one setting. Condo was centrally located. 5 minute walk to the beach. You could watch the sunrise, but not sun set from the lanai.... More

We've made several trips to Maui and this location is our favorite for whale watching and golf. It is so convenient to the several golf courses we love to play and for exploring any part of the island. Our sixth floor condo was clean and beautifully decorated, had comfortable beds, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful hardwood floors... More
