Maui Sands is a Honokowai oceanfront condo complex that consists of seven two-storey buildings spread amongst approximately 3 acres of mature landscaping that fronts the emerald blue pacific ocean. It was built back in the 60s when land was cheap and developers could afford to sparsely populate the land. There is a pool surrounded by greenery and plenty of space to lounge in the chairs poolside. Free wireless internet is available at the pool and in most common areas of the grounds. There are propane barbeques situated throughout the complex, picnic tables near the pool area and a vintage shuffleboard built back in the 1960s. Maui Sands is one of a privileged handful of condo complexes that border the Kahekili Marine Reserve where many species of endemic Hawaii fish species are protected from fishing. As a result the ecosystem is allowed to thrive and abundant marine life can be seen. Beyond the reserve is the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary and constitutes one of the world's most important humpback whale habitats. Sightings of Humpback whales is a very common event from December to April.

If you have ever sliced open a fresh locally-grown papaya, juiced a fresh lemon over it and dove in with your spoon, you know the fresh fruit heaven Maui can provide. Maui Sands is lucky to be situated only 230 yards down the road from West Maui's only health food store. They have the standard brands of organic and health food options found in a "Whole Foods" grocery store and they focus on local and organic produce. They host an outdoor Farmers market 3 times a week (mon/wed/fri) from 7am to 11am. A regular chain grocery store called "Times Market" is located in the opposite direction only 500 yards from Maui Sands.
