Overview
The Island Sands Resort on Maui is located oceanfront in Maalaea, just a short four miles to Kihei and a scenic 15-mile drive to Lahaina. When you stay in this Island Sands Resort condo, you'll enjoy spectacular sunsets, whale watching in the winter, and walking along the five miles of white sand beach. This two-bedroom Island Sands Resort condo is complete with air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, free WiFi, washer/dryer, fully-equipped kitchen, and an in-room safe. This secluded oceanfront property features a private oceanview lanai overlooking scenic Maalaea Bay. Island Sands Maui has both a pool, BBQs, and free parking. Centrally located close to all of the Valley Isle’s activities, shops, and restaurants, the Island Sands is one of Maui’s best condominium values. Spectacular sunsets are a daily event and guests often see humpback whales frolicking in their winter playground.
Guests at Island Sands Resort can enjoy the communal pool, shared BBQ grill area, elevator service, beach access, and the listed accessibility features. The property offers a comfortable waterfront setting with easy shared access to the pool deck.
The neighborhood: Maalaea's appeal is simple: a quiet bay, a working harbor, and a central spot for seeing Maui without constantly packing up the car. Take the family to Maui Ocean Center, book a snorkel sail from the harbor, or look for humpback whales offshore in winter. The long beach is nearby for walks and sandy feet, while Kihei is four miles away for more beach parks, shopping, and dining. It is a restful waterfront setting that still gives a family plenty of ways to fill the day.
Getting around: A rental car is recommended for exploring Ma'alaea and the rest of Maui. The harbor, beaches, dining, and attractions around the island are easiest to reach by car. Use the arrival details provided before your stay for exact access and parking information.

We had 6 in our party, we stayed March 18 - 21, the price was reasonably split between the 6 of us, and the location was 15 minutes (max) away from most main areas that we visited (malls, food truck stops, the conference we attended, and even Krispy Kreme). Due to the weather during this time we weren’t able to complete most of our plans but still, the stay was beautiful. The only complaint our party had was that, upon arrival the carpet was soaked near the balcony sliding door. We assume it was due to the storm passing through. The maintenance crew handled it quickly, and tho we were offered another room we felt like it wasn’t needed. A big Mahalo to Vacasa and all who make these kinds of things possible ✨
We loved the view
Location and view is the best
Great location and view.
This condo is dated and with that comes lower expectations. The lower expectations do come with the expectation that things work and are clean though. This condo had roaches in mulitple rooms. (kitchen and bedroom) The screen doors were ripped and fell off the tracks. The main bathroom had a broken shower door and handheld shower bracket that forced you to hold it the entire shower. The fan in the room sounds like it's going to explode when you turn off the light. Then when you go to leave the bathroom the door gets stuck so you're left to feel trapped. I didn't enjoy finding this out with my child stuck in the bathroom crying. The bed...oh the bed...I cannot describe to you how very uncomfortable this bed was. Plywood is the only word that comes to mind. My husband delveloped back issues on this trip. The couch is prickly and the couch matress needs a refresh or some febreeze. I contacted the management to ask for a refund and they did acknowledge that the state of this unit was not up to their company expectations, and offered a measly $75. Some positives of this condo: the view is amazing, super close to elevator and those are quick. Koi pond right outside the front door. There is a screen door on the unit so you get awesome airflow through it. The pool appears to be heated and there are towels supplied in the unit.
There are other 2 bedroom units, ocean view, updated and bright, available to rent from Vacasa, that we would prefer over this unit. Island Sands is a great location with beautiful ocean views and walking distance to the beach.
