The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.
Reviewers love the overall setting and mood at Wailea Ekahi. The grounds are repeatedly described as lush, beautifully maintained, and peaceful, with direct access to lovely Keawakapu Beach for swimming, snorkeling with turtles, and sunset-watching. Many guests highlight the oceanfront main pool and pavilion as a standout—great views, plentiful seating, and a full outdoor kitchen—plus easy access to Wailea’s hotels, shops, and restaurants along the coastal path. The vibe is relaxed and family-friendly while still feeling upscale and safe.
Inside the condos, most guests find clean, comfortable, and well-equipped spaces with full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, effective A/C (varies by unit), and lots of thoughtful beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, toys). Lanais are a major perk—upper locations tend to deliver wider ocean/sunset views; lower spots put you closer to the beach. Multiple pools (including quiet ones), BBQ areas, a small gym, pickleball, and shuffleboard make it easy to mix beach days with on‑site downtime. Communication and check‑in generally earn high marks, and many travelers are repeat visitors who say they’d book the same unit again.
Common trade‑offs reflect the property’s hillside layout and varied unit positions. Expect an uphill walk back from the beach (some guests drive to the pavilion lot), and note that outer‑edge units near the road can have lanai traffic noise. A/C systems differ by unit and can be loud or occasionally need service; starter supplies and beach gear quality also vary. Tropical “critters” (ants/roaches) pop up occasionally, though managers are typically responsive, and the main pool/pavilion may be closed at times for maintenance. To set yourself up for a great stay, choose lower village for easiest beach access or upper for bigger views/quiet, confirm A/C type and proximity before booking, and ask about any scheduled amenity closures.

We loved our stay at Ekahi 4A. The condo was super clean, bright, and had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving week with four kids. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, and we loved taking the path down in the mornings with our coffee. The lanai became our hangout spot every day (so peaceful with the breeze and all the greenery).The hosts were great and very easy to communicate with. Check-in was simple, parking was easy, and all the little extras in the condo made it feel homey. The AC worked great, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed since we did most breakfasts and lunches at the condo. The kids loved bouncing between the quiet pool and the beach, and we loved how close it was to the Shops at Wailea and our favorite coffee spots.It was the perfect home base for our Hana day, snorkeling, surf lessons, and the luau. Our family had such a great week here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Great location, a 5 minute walk down to the beach, 4 pools, lush environment, easy access to Kihei amenities but also close to several beautiful Wailea/Makena beaches. Kitchen had everything we needed for a family of six. 3 separate balconies.

Great location as always at the resort , communication very good . The unit itself needs some TLC in bathroom . There were no cleaning supplies at all and did not feel I should have to purchase them to keep place fresh while there . A bigger cooler would be very good as well so be full days are spent at the lower pool . Dishwasher did not work and no discount was offered only that I did not have to wash the dishes . Bed was very comfortable and AC worked very well .We did purchase new new h towels from Costco and left them there as ones supplied were very thin and old .

This property was very clean, well stocked and in an ideal location to access the beach, pool and lovely common area. We appreciated the beach chairs, cooler and kitchen supplies. The kitchen had also been recently updated. One downside was the very noisy air conditioning units. It was not possible to sleep with them on so the bedroom was very warm. We also noticed the decor did not match the VRBO pictures.

It was our first family vacation and we celebrated our anniversary and a birthday as well. We had an amazing experience. The condo was exceptional with plenty of amenities (beach chairs, bogey boards, umbrellas). The unit was clean with plenty of space for a family of 4 and the views were incredible. Highly recommend!

![Wailea Ekahi Village 27B]()
On arrival we found that a previous guest had left a large bowl of cut up fruit in a kitchen cabinet which hadn't been noted by the cleaning staff. This produced a very bad smell and lots of insects. It was an unpleasant first impression. However the rest of the unit was clean and well stocked and we did not have any other issues.Ekahi Village is a fantastic place to stay - highly recommend this complex. The beach access, facilities and grounds are just beautiful. Good access to Kihei and Wailea. The unit has been recently remodeled and it was done very nicely. It has everything you need and is as advertised in the pictures. The only note is the furniture has not been replaced and is quite dated. You will find it all comfortable enough, if a little worn. The location of the unit is great. Beautiful ocean views, close to the beach access and pool pavilion and a nearby bbq station. The quiet pool and pickleball court is just steps away. If you don't want to hear the pickleball you might consider somewhere else, but it didn't bother us at all.The host was attentive and responsive. The instructions were clear. Access to the unit was easy, which helped since our flight arrived late at night.Highly recommend this location for a relaxing stay in Maui!

Our unit at Ekahi was fabulous. Overall really great.Kitchen is very well equipped. View from the lanai and kitchen is great. Bed was very comfortable. Great beach chairs and umbrella. We love the direct beach access and the pool pavilion area. The washer was broken before we arrived so we had to work with management to figure out an alternative. Although an inconvenience, they did figure out a work around. We would return.

I would absolutely stay here again- the owner went above and beyond to answer all our questions and ensure we had a wonderful time!

Close to great shopping, world class restaurants and beautiful beaches, along with amenities including parking and a pool.

This is a nice unit, quiet position, and well decorated ( although the second bedroom could use an update). Out of a dozen other units where we have stayed in Ekahi, 5F was the worst in terms of kitchen supplies - there was salt and pepper, and not much else. No spices, no cooking oil, no foil or Saran Wrap, no condiments ( usually left by other guests. In addition, the A?C in the second bedroom stopped working during our stay, and the host was not ver responsive - it took 3 days for someone to come and fix it.

This was the perfect condo for our family. Very well appointed with all the comforts of home. The owners provided a high chair and pack and play which was super helpful. The view from the lanai is stunning and we ate all our meals there. The accessibility to the pool and beach are great. The complex is very family oriented, lots of three generation groups like ours. The seawall is easily accessed and the proximity to the shops and hotels is really convenient. I would love to stay in this unit the next time I visit Maui.

This was a great vacation rental in a good location. Beach was close as well as the shops at Wailea. Lots of things within waking distance. This was a corner unit with good privecy and had everything we needed for a good vacation. Host was easy to communicate with and provided detailed instructions to all the things we needed.

The overall location was perfect. The condo was immaculate, spacious and well equipped. The amenities were fine with the exception of being unable to use the tv. We also never saw the listed hot tub. Neither of these things were a big issue for us

Very enjoyable stay-would book again Plenty of beach towels and chairs for the beach and coolerIt would be helpful to have something mentioned in the listing about how far the walk is down to main pool and cabana It was to far and un-level ground for my elderly parents to walk so I had to drive down to the pool and drop them off to be able to get to the pool and beach access Also the TV and remotes were a bit challenging to use clearer instructions would be helpful we did need to have the Spectrum cable rebooted which was taken care of by Nathan Over all a very pleasant experience!We have stayed in several different units in the past and it is always so nice to return and have the grounds looking gorgeous and the pools and cabanas well kept upBeach access is always safe and well maintainedIt never disappoints!Thank you to the homeowners for keeping their homes and yards in such great condition It truly is a piece of heaven on earth!

We loved our stay here! The condo was better than expected. Very clean, great layout, easy check-in and check-out. The view from the balcony was beautiful and you can even see the ocean. The walk to the main pool took us about five minutes. The way back is uphill but it wasn't too steep so we didn't mind. It's also super easy to load up the car and park in the lot by the pool. We love Ekahi and would definitely stay here again!

Everything was great and we’d return to this unit we just had to shut off air conditioning at night as very loud and disturbing for sleep. Fans above bed and sofa area kept us cool with no noise from fans.
Washer and dryer were super efficient and plenty of good quality towels and linens.
A wonderful beach and beachside pool area near this unit.
