No hassle and easy access to the condo. We usually stay in Ma’alaea since it’s near town, and we visit family. The trade winds were in full force as they usually are this time of year, and if you don’t mind it it’s fine. I’m used to it since I grew up here. Overall appreciate the use of the condo!!!

Good experience

Everything was great. The area is pretty windy so you can hear the wind whistle a bit through the windows when closed but having them open is amazing. We asked for a last minute late checkout and they were very helpful in allowing us to stay until 2PM. This was amazing since we had worked all week and hadn't had a chance to spend time by the ocean until the day of checkout.

The first time we walked into the condo, I noticed that there was no smell, which was a great first impression. It was clean, well-stocked, and served its purpose fabulously. The views outside of this unit are phenomenal. You can see the ocean to the left and a mountain to the right. Our book on Maui states that it may be the windiest place on the island as it gets a concentration of wind that has been squeezed between mountains (not due to windmills as one reviewer wrote). We welcomed the breeze as it made laying out in the sun and walking the beach extremely easy to do and the sound of the blowing wind quickly lulled us to sleep after a fun day exploring. We chose to stay in Maalaea due to its central location to Hana, Kula, and Lahaina plus we had a deep sea fishing trip one day and a snorkeling trip another day that departed from there. We also saw green sea turtles in our area—about twenty of them at the boat dock sea wall around 2:00pm and nightly on the beach to the left of our building. The airplanes coming into Maui would fly over our unit and we enjoyed watching them come in. The kitchen and bathrooms were great and the beds could have been worse. The management company brought a mattress topper for us to use on the king bed and that helped a lot. The TV cable connection at the back of the TV could not be made tight enough for secure contact so that caused some frustration as turning on the tv was inconsistent. There also is no beachfront at this property, however the pool is our first choice of relaxing outside. We are not sure if there are restrooms near the pool so we did have to run upstairs each time we had to use the facilities. The pool requires a key to get in as well as get out so be sure to take a phone with you in case someone in your party leaves you stranded. We went to Kihei Beach one day and the umbrella and chairs were fabulous. Once the trade winds came in around 2:00, sand flew up on everyone and the beach cleared. This was an end unit and was very quiet. We did not hear any noise from neighbors. There were deer across the road near the fence line that we could see in the mornings and evenings. It is a nice, short walk to the closest beach as well as to a few little shops, the general store, Hula Cookies, Ocean Aquarium, a couple of restaurants, as well as the boat tours. A local told us that they stopped enforcing the paid parking and we did get a $35 ticket on one of our last days.

Dated condo but owners upgraded kitchen and bath cabinets and countertops. Size was fine for 4 adults. Not on beach but there was a small beach at the end of a drainage area where sea turtles liked to hang out. Management company non-responsive when we couldn't lock the condo door. We finally had to look on YouTube to figure it out--meanwhile we had timed, pre-paid tickets to the aquarium. I had to stay behind while we figured it out. Company didn't even call me back. Questionable whether all pillowcases were washed--they smelled. Condo was adequate but management company behaviour guarantees we won't stay there again.

Really enjoyed check in and check out process. Very clean Everything needed was available in condo Beautiful view Area was excellent as needed ( not crowded) Really enjoyed in pool everyday.

There are additional items needed in the description: 1) it is 7.8 miles from the end of the runway at Kahului- we were woken up by early flights both mornings. 2) it is located next to Maui’s wind farm. The wind was so strong we were woken up. The windows do not seal properly so you hear whistling from the wind. I reread the reviews and there were a couple other guests that said the same thing. This condo is on the 5th of 6 floors on the end of the building. We had friends in another part of the building that were not affected by the wind. 3) there was a strange smell - probably cigarettes. Amy was professional and responsive.

Boys had their own beds/room & bathroom. Great location midway between sights to minimize time in the car. Gorgeous public, quiet beach next store. Condo is fully stocked with all the essentials plus bonus things like beach chairs, towels & umbrella. Next to the Aquarium which has a complex of shops, restaurants, etc. For the price point, location, and care put into the property - I would absolutely recommend staying here with older kids.

Our family loved our stay here. Easy access to a lot of things. Very comfortable for our ohana!!

The condo fit our family of 4 perfectly! We loved whale-watching from the lanai! The condo was clean and well kept. It was nicely equipped with kitchen essentials. The condo building and grounds were very well maintained. The complex was very quiet and other residents/guests friendly and respectful. We can't wait to stay again!

This condo was in a great central location for exploring Maui. Not too far to Kihei and Sugar Beach. The sunrise and sunset views were stunning. Love the quiet area.

Had a problem and it was handled quickly excellent customer servicem

We had a phenomenal view from the lanai and were able to see some whales while drinking our coffee (also appreciate the binoculars in the unit). Having a dedicated parking spot was also great as you definitely need a car staying in this part of the island. We were able to travel throughout the island to different beaches as it was fairly centrally located. It was great to be able to take a snorkeling trip from a boat at the slips less than 0.5 miles away. Beach access is a little bit of a walk to the main access but then you are able to walk to the east for miles (we went about 1.5-2 miles and then turned around a couple days). Having the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler was absolutely great as we used them daily to try out new beaches! We did not venture into the pool as we saw a couple in there one evening on our way to dinner (after dark) that may have been doing some adult activities... My only suggestion for improvement is very minor and it would be to have the car forms available in the unit as there were none outside the site office and their hours are only M-F 9am-1pm so we had to plan one of our days to make sure we would be home during that time to get a form and turn it in. I would highly recommend this place for staying in Maui, especially if you are looking to stay away from the hustle and bustle (and noise) of the more touristy areas!

Property was as presented. Maybe a little dated. Great location.

This property is located in a small strip of condo buildings on the central Maui coast due south of Kuhului. It's easy to get to, and easy to get anywhere from here. Lahaina is 25 minutes, Kihie is 15 minutes, large stores and the airport are 15 minutes. The local beach, within walking distance, is lovely and very popular. The view over the bay provides endless whale watching including many calves, breaches and other activity. The unit was very nice, with ample beach gear included. The master bedroom is separated from the living room by a curtain-like partition, which provides visual privacy but little noise reduction. This could be a problem for families with activity in the living room while people are trying to sleep. The complex does not have a swimmable beach, but the snorkeling is very good right from the property. The pool is decoratively shaped and the grills were mostly functional. There can be a lot of wind at this location. There is a line of utility windmills on the adjacent ridge, and most days were very windy. This did not affect us as the lenai was sheltered from the wind. Overall we had a wonderful time here and would recommend the property.

arrived to a perfectly clean and inviting 2 bedroom condo with a beautiful view of Ma'alaea Bay. lots of space, nice set-up on the lanai and ability to let tradewinds cool one off. overall, extra nice experience!

The condo was very nice, as described.

Location was wonderful, quiet, not as busy as Kihei or Lahaina, but centrally located. Condo fit us perfectly for me & husband, and my parents. Balcony lovely, but furniture could be better, chairs are low so hard to see over balcony, we put pillows on chairs. A/C not the greatest, especially for back room but fortunately it wasn’t terribly warm and there were 2 fans we used. Unfortunate that next condo over they were smoking cigars, which is against the rules, smell wafted all throughout our condo making mom feel ill. This is not normal though. All in all we would stay here again.

We just stayed 9 days in the Maui in Malaea Harbor. The condo is in an excellent location as it is away from the hotel zones, but you can access most of the major beaches and sites within 20 - 30 minutes.The apartment was clean and the view is spectacular. We loved the pool and the convenience of having a built in kitchen. We shopped from the nearest Safeway for groceries which is about 15 minutes away, and there are snorkeling excursions right from the harbor and a great BBQ place within walking distanceThe apartment is dated and can need some sprucing up. and a paint job. The one air conditioner and the fans aren’t enough to cool the entire apartment even though we were told they would be. A small portable A/C unit for a few hundred dollars would have made a world of difference for our stay.The sliding doors and screens were blown off track because of the strong trade winds. This had us fussing with the sliding doors and screens which became frustrating and difficult to close and lock. Some WD 40 would and cleaning of the tracks would have solved that problem.Overall we enjoyed our stay, but the points I mentioned kept me from giving a 5 star review.

Really enjoyed watching the whales from our balcony every morning. Good location. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Easy access to Kehei and LaHaina. Would stay there again.

Just as promised, great location, views and people. Everything close by and neighbors, staff and rental company all helpful,with suggestions and money saving coupons

We spent 3 days last month and head a good time. Saw whales from the balcony. Clean kitchen and rooms and close enough to the airport and grocery shopping as well.

Wonderful experience. The condo had everything we needed to make us feel at home. Hope to do this again soon.

The condo was super clean and had plenty of starter sets for our family of 4. This was the perfect location for our trip and communication with the property manager was very quick and responsive.

We loved the pool and beach access. We saw turtles a number of times and wonderful sunsets.

This place is perfect between the more touristy areas of Kihei and Lahaina. We rented a car to get around and it’s nice to go to the different areas of the island and come back to a quiet neighborhood. The only recommendation I have is to maybe install one more air conditioner in the bedroom close to the front door. It’s not bad when you open the doors to get the wind blowing through the unit, but can get a little humid.

Great Value for money. The view was Amazing! The property was clean with all the amenities one would need. The property managers were very helpful in providing a lot of useful information about Maui. The location was not too bad since it was central to all the activities and close to the airport. All in all a good stay.

We loved the location! Convenient to everything but not crowded. Staff was so helpful!

We had a great stay at Island Sands Unit 500. Loved the location and the people we met that stayed there as well. IGOMAUI was great to deal with and made our Hawaii vacation a GREAT experience. Can't wait to come back.
