Our stay at Island Sands, Unit #605 was fantastic! The unit is beautifully decorated which provides a very rich and homey atmosphere. The view from this unit is exquisite and it's positioning means that you're protected from direct sunlight; so warm and breezy, but extremely comfortable. Also great whale watching here on the 6th floor. Nikta was very helpful and... More

This was our third time staying in one of Nikta Houston's units and it never ceases to amaze us how accommodating and helpful Nikta always is. We had our 6 month old grandson with us this time and Nikta had the baby furniture waiting for us when we arrived. The condo is beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything you... More

Maalaea Bay has a bad reputation because of a certain book. I am so greatful for that review! That makes the whole Maalaea Bay are the best picking. My family has stayed here twice. They have elevators and beautifully landscape gardens. There is no beach per-say. It's right on the reef so you hear the crashing all the time. But... More

Good value and great location thats central to everything. Our room was 604. Nice HAwaiian motif. Saw turtles in the ocean from our lanai. Best views ever.

This was our second stay at the Island Sands and we absolutely love it! The location is perfect; it is centrally located to everything on Maui (airport, Kahului for shopping, Lahaina, the great beaches along Kihei, Wailea, and Makena, walking distance to the Maui Ocean Center and shops.) It is also nicely located on a dead end street, without a... More

Wow, what a great stay we had at Island Sands unit #605. The unit is beautifully decorated, well stocked with everything you could need and very clean. We spent a good portion of our time sitting out on the lanai enjoying the spectacular ocean views. There is something special about starting your day with a nice cup of coffee and... More

We absolutely love Nikta's beautiful 2BD/2BA unit at Island Sands and we cannot wait to go back. There is access to a great little beach right behind the building and most days we were the only ones on it. We fished right off the beach and caught enough papio and lai for two nights dinners, which we BBQd down stairs... More

Ocean view? What a rip off to be charged over 200 a night for the promised ocean view and then find out you had the one unit that has NO view when seated ( as in relaxing on vacation) and if you stand you can see a bit of ocean between the shed and another building. Extremely disappointed. The only... More

This is our second trip back to the Island Sands in Maalaea, and I promise we will come back again. We discovered Nikta Houston a few years ago and she introduced us to Maalaea. We had previuosly stayed ay the posh resorts in Wailea and Kaanapali, but we have now fallen in love with this less crowded, great beach and... More
