“Peaceful and relaxing” We had a relaxing stay at this condo. The pool and common areas were well kept and our neighbors were polite and friendly. We did not use the beach access here but did drive to nearby beaches. The condo had some upgrades such as the large kitchen island. In fact, the openness of the kitchen to the living room was very nice. We also enjoyed the lanai for eating meals and for whale watching. Watching the sunset from the property was a favorite way to end the day. The amenities were improving with the addition of new washers and driers in the community laundry room. Some may find this condo to be more rustic than luxurious but it met our expectations within the price point as cozy and a nice place to stay after adventure filled days. A big plus is that this condo community seems to attract a very considerate group of people. It was peaceful and relaxing to stay here and our overall impression was favorable.

“A decision you won't regret!” We recently stayed in E-6 and absolutely loved it. From the ease of being able to book the condo to the great service we received from Mike. He was always willing to help with all and any questions I had with not only the condo, but our entire trip. The pictures do not do this unit justice, everything worked out better than could be expected! The beach is peaceful and only a short walk from the front door, full of beautiful fish and turtles. The condo is a very short drive from Lahaina and only a couple blocks from a grocery store. If you are looking for a great getaway with all the amenities of home, this is exactly what your looking for! Can't wait to go back and definitely will be staying at Kahana Sunset!!

“Great Views” We had a lovely time in Maui. #317, Kahana Reef Was very comfortable,peaceful, with the wonderful sound of ocean surf. The condo has great views of Molokai. The weather was off and on due to a Kona Low. There was Big Waves, had much fun watching Sail Boarders and Kite Surfers. Very close to Maui Brewing which was fun to sample their Beers and the food was pretty tasty. The condo had everything we needed. Pool is a bit small. Hot tub would have been great especially with the cooler weather.

“Great spot for a relaxing vacation.” This is our second visit to #307. We spent four weeks relaxing and unwinding. Jim and Sue made sure everything was perfect and kept in touch as the islands were in the path of Hurricanes Iselle and Julio, which fortunately didn't affect us at Kahana. We look forward to our next visit to Maui.

“Every morning on the patio, with a cup of coffee, made us realiz” We had a wonderful time in Maui and your home was so comfortable and up to date. It had everything we needed, and the coffee table book you put together (with all the suggestions of things to do & where to eat) was so helpful. Before arriving, we were skeptical of being on the first floor but it was absolutely the best place to be. And the view... down the fairway right down to the waves crashing on the coast!!! Breathtaking!!! I will pass along your condo information to our friends who are looking to visit Maui.

“Fabulous Sunsets and Whale Watching - Room 1009!” I had the great fortune to come to Maui during whale season and was able to see all of the action from my lanai in Room 1009. This room at the Valley Isle is just spectacular! It is private, beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. There were beach chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards which saved us rental money. The view was unbelievable! Watched whales jumping and turtles swimming by. Watched the sunset every night and had magnificent views of Molokai. We will definitely book this room when we come back. Highly recommend it!

“Whales and turtles from the lanai” Had a fantastic relaxing time at sunset shores. An older condo, but kept up very nicely. Well appointed kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas. Easy parking. And a nice West Maui location. Helpful owner. But the real star is the view. Easy to while away hours on the lanai sipping cocktails and watching the whales go by. Truly spectacular. I almost hesitate giving this review for fear that it will be harder to book in future years. Really nice place.

“Heavenly” Lovely amenities in this condo...perfect location for our family's activities. Relaxing and the staff is amazing!!! We had a couple issues with the appliances and the staff was there immediately. The entire experience was perfect. The Swimming pool and the private grottos, plantings not to mention the size of it, was awesome.

“Great condo, Great Location!” Great condo, great location! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We recently returned home from a 10 day stay at Papakea G-407! I wish I could have stayed forever! The condo is in a great location convenient to several gorgeous beaches and a short drive to Lahaina town. We had all the conveniences needed to prepare meals in and enjoyed dinner on the lanai several evenings with a beautiful sunset! Anne provided a great deal of information on the area as well as helpful hints for shopping, sightseeing, etc. The grounds at Papakea are absolutely beautiful! There are two great pools as well as two large jacuzzis. We will definitely return to this condo on our next visit to beautiful Maui! Thank you, Anne and Wes for sharing your home with us! Tina and Bob

“A little piece of paradise!” We stayed two weeks at Valley Isle Resort. It was an awesome experience. Condo was lovely. We had everything we needed. Pool area was never crowded, no problem with beach chairs being available, grills available for barbecuing. Great location. Bus stops out front if you are without a vehicle. We definitely plan on returning.

“Just like home!!” Our accommodation exceeded my expectation. It was located on a beautiful private beach that has a family of turtles that we would find everyday. The view was stunning. We were a party 5 ladies. My daughter turned 21 with her bestie. My friend and her 16 daughter. We felt safe on the top floor. Though my friend felt our place was too warm ( no air) I was very comfortable as the breeze was always there. It was updated downstairs with whirlpool tub upstairs. The best part was the owner Deb who was always available and had little gifts for my daughter a bottle of champagne and cupcakes. She made this occasion very special. I really felt we experienced Maui in a very authentic way. I will be coming back to this place.

“Every detail taken care of...” We loved the Maui Sands condo, it was completely perfect for us.Every detail was so thoughtfully taken care of that we really didn’t have to worry about a thing. From the provided cooler, beach chairs, and umbrella, to the snorkel gear and ocean shoes. Almost every time it occurred to us that we needed something, we found it in the condo. The complex grounds were so well maintained and quiet. We used the grill one night, as well as the lovely pool. The availability of recycling was very important to us, we really appreciated that. The beds and linens were very comfortable and tasteful. We also really appreciated the Condo Manual – it answered every question we could possibly have. Beautiful place to stay! It's not every morning you get to have coffee while watching the whale show - but that's the norm here. Ryan was also wonderful to work with throughout our whole planning phase, and into the week of our vacation. Very easy to communicate with and helpful.

“Excellent Condo for the Money” When we reserved the condo we got three very informative emails in reply letting us know about check in-check out procedures, nearby restaurants, car rentals, activities in Maui, etc., so that was very helpful. When we got there we found the condo very clean with plenty of comfortable furnishings. There is no A/C but we found that if we opened the windows and turned on the fans in the evenings, the condo stayed very comfortable. It did not get too hot in the middle of the day. Kevin's policy of marking refrigerator items with the date of purchase is brilliant and renters to save on the cost of condiments and other little items. The pantry was full of staples too, so if you forgot to get something at the store, you will likely find it in the cupboard! Kevin keeps the bathroom medicine cabinet, linen closet and bedroom closets stocked with everything else you may need - boogie boards, sand toys, snorkel equipment, pool noodles, laundry detergent, bleach, bandages, antibacterial ointment, sunscreen, linens, beach towels, duct tape, you name it! The only thing we needed but couldn't find was a pair of scissors, but we got by! FYI, there is no dishwasher, so you will have to wash the dishes by hand. The location is very nice. It is in a part of town where you can walk to restaurants, a natural (but vegetarian) market, coffee shop, shave ice store, surf shop, etc. Plus it is a bout a 5-10 minute drive north of Lahaina if you need more in terms of shops and restaurants. Lahaina is also a prime spot for surf and paddleboard lessons and for hiring a boat for deep sea fishing, among other activities. The condo is also right across the street from a nice, well-used (by locals and tourists alike) park and beach. The surf doesn't get real big here, so it was a perfect boogie boarding location for our 10 year old, and a nice fishing location for our 14 year old. Plus, BONUS PART, a sea turtle hung out with us one afternoon, eating whatever grows on the rocks just off shore and swimming around our ankles.
