"The location in the center of the island is very convenient. The place is very quiet, and the setting right on the beach and ocean is beautiful."

"We enjoyed our week stay at the condo. We chose the condo based on its central location to easily explore all parts of Maui. The view from the lanai was lovely and the lanai was shaded almost all the time. The kitchen was adequately stocked for basic meal preparation and we appreciated the clean kitchen! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean as well. Thanks for sharing your quiet and comfortable condo!"

Island Sands 401 - Guest Stay April 2024
"Great communication from property management. Very easy check-in/check-out. Keyless entry to condo is super convenient. Condo is great & has a LOT of random stuff...beach stuff, sunscreen, after-sunscreen, seasonings, cooking oil, laundry soap/dryer sheets, water filter pitcher, and a TON of books/literature about Maui & things to do there. A LOT of Hawaiian-themed tchotchkes everywhere...possibly too many, as they take up space you might use to put your belongings, but they are cheerful & cute. The winds are crazy & blow right through from the entrance to the balcony...between the wind & ceiling fans, the unit was always comfortable. (The stairwell is across the hall from the condo & the door will bang LOUDLY if it's not closed tightly...) The pool is small, but was never busy. Lounge chairs are really nice...comfy. The grills are nice & worked great. The unit's assigned parking spot is easily seen from the balcony of the condo, which also has an amazing view of the water...we missed the whales, but saw dolphins playing on most mornings. Our only quasi-complaint is about the pillows...there are quite a few of them, but none are very great to sleep on. We definitely recommend this property as a great place to stay on Maui!"

"IS401 was perfect with ocean and mountain views. It was well stocked in the kitchen from dishes to spices. The people are friendly, and the complex is quiet. You can watch the turtles all day long and never get tired of it. If you're lucky, you may see one resting on the little beach, but please don't disturb. We have stayed at this complex several times and will definitely be back. Thank you Lynn for a great vacation!!" -Sherri M. - (Aug 2023 - VRBO)

Island Sands 401 - Guest Stay July 2023
"We loved staying at Kathy's place! Her home was very clean and welcoming and had a beautiful view of the water. It was in a good location that made accessing Lahaina, Kahului, and Kihei very easy. The only things I would say is that you have to pay for an early check in (which i have never heard of before) and the place tends to get hot and humid easily because the only AC is in the living room." -Neeka N. - (Jul 2023 - AirBnB)

Island Sands 401 - Guest Stay May 2023
"We loved our stay at 401 Island Sands!! It was a perfect location away from the little amount of hustle on Maui. Such a great central location to most things and a wonderful little home to come back to every night. We loved the open air throughout the condo so much! I was a little worried about the 1 window unit but we didn't even need to turn it on.
Mahalo Kathy and Lynn for everything!"

Island Sands 401 - Guest Stay April 2023
"Great space with clear view of the water. Felt right at home when I walked in and opened the sliding doors to let in the ocean breeze. The only down side to the location is that is one the flight path of the airport so you will hear some airplanes from time to time."

Island Sands 401 - Guest Stay February 2023
"We spent 8 glorious nights here and they had everything you could possibly need. The location was fantastic and away from the hustle and Bussel. We were able to watch whales from the Lani anytime we were out there. Short drive to the harbor for whale watching/snorkeling/sunset cruises. Lahaina and Kihei were a short drive. The beach takes a short walk to access but they have parking there if you don't want the 10 minute walk. Ocean center was next to the harbor. We were sad to leave this little piece of heaven but will be back."

Island Sands 401 - Guest Stay October 2022
"Our stay was wonderful! The condo had everything we needed and more than expected for our week! The location was great as we had activities planned all over the island! It was also a more quiet area compared to the Lahaina, Kaanapali or Wailea areas. Definitely would recommend!"
