The property and unit were perfect for us to enjoy the expansive lanai, views, and sunset as well as play on the grass, in the pool and utilize the pickleball courts. Fabulous neighboring restaurants. We loved this unit and its many amenities to make our trip seamless & perfect!

Nice place great beach.

Well stocked and good location. Two bedroom two bathroom and private end unit. We loved the lanai! The bedrooms are a bit close to the road, so not good for light sleepers. There was a very strong mildew scent in the unit which took away from the beautiful place. We enjoyed our time, and the host was incredibly communicative and runs a good VRBO business!

Lovely condo

This condo is the most spacious condo at Makena Surf. The separate sitting area with the pull out couch was very handy and having the shades in that area provided privacy. The kitchen was well equipped and the lanai has a great view of the ocean. We viewed several whales and their calves. There is some traffic noise but it did not interfere with our sleep. Lara was wonderful to work with as she was always available to answer questions.

Relaxing luxury

We had a relaxing stay at this beautiful condo. We appreciated the towels, beach wagon, chairs and umbrellas, cooler ice packs and so much more--especially since our luggage didn't arrive for a few days. The proximity to the beach and pool was perfect. We enjoyed snorkelling, boogie boarding, and swimming from the beach. The sunsets were beautiful. If there was one drawback, it was the proximity to the road, but we quickly got used to the noise from the road in the bedrooms and had a good sleep after the first night.

If you want to stay in the incredible Wailea area, this is the place to be! Check in was a breeze. Our hosts were so easy to reach and very helpful.

We will definitely be back!

Great location, beach and value

Condo is spacious, clean and nicely decorated with all appliances and kitchenware needed. Easy communication with the owner. Short walk to nice beach with soft sand and not overcrowded. Only knock on the unit is it located right on a main road, so some road noise in the two bedrooms and lanai in the back. However, considering the road isn’t too busy, noise wasn’t an issue in the main living spaces, and the value vs pricing of nearby 5 star resorts, road noise wasn’t enough of a factor to ding the rating for us!

C-107 ‘Hau’oli’

Walking into C-107 with that view and doors that open the width of the living area, bringing the outdoors in, well, WOW! That’s one thing we’d never tire of~ island living at its best, as the song goes, “…and the livin’ is easy...” waking up to a cup of coffee, and spotting dolphins and whales from the lanai. From the spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished unit to the well kept grounds of the resort, everything we needed was right there~the beach, fabulous snorkeling, the beauty. Yes, it was hard to leave this piece of paradise~ we 100% recommend C-107!

Makena Surf Stay C107

Our vacation stay location exceeded our expectations. The location, layout, and ready access to the pool/jacuzzi and beach made for a wonderful stay. We felt at home and at ease immediately in our quiet surroundings. The ability to lounge and dine on the lanai, and view whales frolicking in the ocean and the sunsets, added to our wonderful experience. The accommodations and layout were very comfortable for 3 couples whether dining in- or out-doors, playing games on the dining table, laying on the chaise chairs or hammock or sitting on the couches to read. The condo had everything we needed for the kitchen. Also available were beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. There is a 15-20 minute one way drive to Kihei where we dined or frequented water sports activities, which wasn't a problem at all. We also very much enjoyed the opportunity to play tennis and/or pickleball as an added plus. We would definitely stay here again.

A stay in Maui paradise!

Do not walk… Run to this amazing rental property! We recently enjoyed a full week at Mākena Surf. Everything went smoothly from check-in, having questions answered throughout our stay to our final day. Makena Surf is located in my opinion on one of the best beaches in Maui. You can snorkel right off of the rocks and enjoy the famous turtle town location. The beach was perfect for a short walk and the water was spectacular! The condo provides beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, and cooler so you have everything you need for a perfect day at the beach! The swimming pool was quiet every afternoon and we grilled out as a family several times. The view from the condo is absolutely stunning! The Maui sunset from the southwest side are spectacular. Only a few minutes drive to golf at Wailea, shops and restaurants, but the condo feels like it’s a world away from all of that! We look forward to returning again soon!

Perfect for Family Vacation

My family loved our 7 night stay in this lovely vacation home. Everything about this property is exactly as described and better. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor living with the doors open to the lanai and the awesome ocean views. The kitchen was so nice and well stocked we dined in for most meals….everyone agreed it was better than eating out. This corner, ground floor unit is convenient to the beach, pools, parking lot and is very peaceful and private with its lush tropical landscape. The condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There was plenty of room for my family of five to spread out and relax. And the added bonus of beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels was a game changer. They made it so much better for enjoying the lovely private beach. We even swam with turtles. So cool! Lastly the resort is in a great location, close to shopping and restaurants if needed. We all agreed it was the perfect place for our Maui vacation.

Amazing property

Our stay could not have been more enjoyable! The condo was the perfect size for our family of 5. Little brother loved his special private area in the living room where the blinds come down for privacy. The condo was extremely clean and decorated very tastefully. Everything was labeled and easy to find. There were clear written instructions for all the high end electronics, blinds, etc. Unlike some VRBO’s this one was very well stocked with plenty of trash bags, dishwashing pods, laundry detergent, etc. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the spacious lanai every evening! Laura was very responsive with any questions we had even though she was on east coast time! The area of town is exactly what I was hoping for - walking distance to all the high end hotels, golf course, and high end shopping. We rented some boogie boards from Snorkel Bob’s right by the golf course. Several places to eat within a 5 minute drive. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Makena Surf in August

2 couples stayed. Lovely property. Nicely decorated, Clean, kitchen is well stocked. Comfortable beds, condo is exactly as shown in photos. The BEST location. Well maintained condos- one pool was under construction while we were there- but we found the 2nd one. We only had a couple of things we would change if we could- didn’t affect our trip and we will likely come back to Makena Surf one day — but just for reference. 1) Trim bushes back around the back patio- no view of beach or ocean when sitting and enjoying back patio. Nice for privacy- but not for enjoying beach or water. 2) Provide more than one towel per person during the stay. I personally like to use a towel to wrap up in and one to put my hair up in :) we couldn’t find any extra towels. 3) TV is on ground level/inside bottom of a cabinet - we wanted to watch some football while we were there- but tv not in a place to be enjoyed by whole group. Again- the unit is well maintained, updated, clean and lovely. We enjoyed our stay!!

Amazing Place with Amazing Views

Our family of 4 was originally booked at a resort on the west side of the island for our 2nd consecutive (3rd total) trip to Maui. But due to the catastrophic Lahaina fire, our booking on the west side was cancelled. After much deliberation of whether we should cancel our trip altogether, we decided to still visit but find a place on the South side of the island. I'm so glad we found this condo. It is amazing and was perfect size for our family. Felt more like a luxury home than a condo. Every detail of this place - artwork, furniture, linens, appliances, electronics...very modern, upscale and high end. We felt so taken care of by the host - providing ALL the essentials to get us started and even sustain us throughout our stay. Those little details did not go unnoticed!! The Makena Surf property is very well maintained, lush and tropical. Felt very secluded, which we liked. The view from the lanai provided amazing sunsets every night. Just couldn't get enough of that view! Part of me didn't even want to post a review- just so I could keep this place a little secret! :-) But the secret is out! This place is amazing. It's by far my best and most favorite place from our 3 trips to Maui. I can't wait to stay here again.

Lovely Property

My husband and I stayed for 10 nights, and friends joined us for a few evenings of the trip as well. The property is exactly as listed and pictures give accurate depiction of what one is to expect. 4 adults did not feel cramped in this condo. Ample space to spread out to both work and relax. As frequent travelers, there are three aspects of a property I expect. Cleanliness, bed comfort, and safety. This property boasted all three and more. The sunset view from the lanai was beautiful, even spotted whales one evening of our stay. The beach was steps from the property and was relaxing, clean, and private. For an extended stay such as our own, the kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals. The laundry in unit is a great amenity, and the comfortable bed was greatly welcomed. I would recommend a vehicle for anyone visiting. It is located near all of the major Fine Hotels; an easy, 5 minute door-door, drive to fabulous restaurants and Lounges. Although close to resorts, you are not in the hustle and bustle of the tourists to hear or notice commotion. We do highly suggest making dinner reservations in the area. The town of Kihei, 15 minutes north of the property was a quaint, beach front community, slightly reminiscent of family vacations in the 80s. Fun and entertaining for families or anyone for that matter. In all we were quite happy and would recommend this property to friends and family. We do plan to return again.
