The master bedroom has a queen size bed, the guestroom has two twin beds and there is a twin size daybed in the living room. Six is the maximum number of guests allowed by the the building association.<br /><br />In the bathroom, the vanity is separate from the water closet, making it convenient for larger groups. <br /><br />Stroll through three acres of lovingly tended, lush tropical gardens with plenty of grassy areas, tropical fruit trees, native plants and room to play outdoors. The property has a fresh water swimming pool, 3 BBQs, an ice machine and a coin or app operated laundromat. <br /><br />You are just steps away from snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, paddle boarding, wave jumping or just simply basking in the sun right in front of our home. You can watch the kids play in the water from your lanai or the grassy strip along the beach. Bring your snorkeling gear, or rent from across the street. Discover the abundant sea life in the ocean waters right in front of our condo. Maybe you'll get lucky and share the water with one of our resident green sea turtles. <br /><br />For a change of pace, take a short walk north and you'll find Honokowai Park with picnic tables, jungle gym, shade trees and a sandy beach. Your kids will love it. And, sometimes you'll find a turtle basking on the beach. Stop at the farmer's market on your way back for some appetizers to enjoy while you watch the sunset or browse through local shops for the perfect island-made jewelry, keepsake or gift. If you're ambitious, you can pick up the board walk a few blocks south and walk 3 miles all the way to Black Rock and Kaanapali Beach.<br /><br />You will have an off-street reserved parking place for your car, included in your rental price, but can easily walk to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, a fish market and a farmers' market. Maui Sands is located in West Maui on Lower Honoapiilani Road between Kaanapali and Kapalua, a short drive or bus ride for you to enjoy world-class beaches, golf courses and shopping at Whaler's Village. There are also bicycle and moped rentals available within walking distance.<br /><br /> Venture north to the Blow Hole or charming Kahakuloa Village for a taste of Julia's banana bread.
