We found a gold nugget in the Makena Surf! Check is was so easy. Someone from Ali’i Resorts met us at the condo to show us around. Next time we will order groceries to save on time. The condo is beautiful and very comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you could need. The property is located on the beach so it is easy to walk down to the beach with all of your gear. And the snorkeling right off the beach is second to none. It is literally around the corner from Turtle Town. We will be staying at Makena Surf for all of our Maui visits from now on!

We took a chance with Maui and Makena, always having stayed in Princeville and Hapuna Beach. The condo and its location lived up to all our hopes. Impeccably clean, well stocked, location and views cannot be beat. The owners love their home, and it shows. Just what we were looking for. We will for sure return. Thanks to our hosts for great communication, a concerned call to check on us on tsunami day, and making sure we had a comfortable and relaxing vacation.

Everything about this listing was amazing. The location, amenities, well-appointed kitchen, and stunning views exceeded all expectations. The gate offers additional security and our Host was communicative and helpful before and during our stay. Beds were comfy, A/C excellent, and the beach felt practically private!

We travel to Maui often and this by far was the best stay we’ve ever had. The place is perfect with views that are just incredible and the most chill beach ever with amazing snorkeling. We will definitely be back!

The property is exactly as advertised. Susan was amazing with communication and all the little extras she had for us. Like beach chairs, water noodles, snorkeling gear, beach toys there was a lot to choose from. I highly recommend this place if you are traveling with 4-8 people.

One of the most amazing places ever. From the condo itself, property, location, etc. It was all top notch. The owners were also very detailed with everything. From check-in, to providing info on where to visit, to check-out, very accommodating. We’ll definitely plan on rebooking in the future.

Great stay and just what we needed. Our family took advantage of the two beaches, two swimming pools and two hot tubs daily! We also played tennis and used the fitness room. We loved being able to play spike ball on the beach thanks to the homeowners providing games and supplies. As for the condo, we all had our own space, including all of the balcony options! The common area open concept was great for family time, not to mention unlimited access to the ocean view. Fabulous space.

Wonderful property in a beautiful setting and quiet condo complex. Some of the best views on Maui, near the beach and close to resort amenities, golf, shopping and dining. I hope to return again!

This property is one of the best VRBOs we have experienced. The location is perfect if you're looking for a private, quiet setting only steps from the beach. Located on Po'olenalena Beach, it's as if only the residents of Makena Surf use this section of the beach despite being public. It's like having your own private beach on Maui. Even better, many of the snorkeling tour operators pull their boats right up to the lava rocks along the south shore of the beach, so you can snorkel right off the beach and see tons of sea turtles without having to pay extra for a tour. The lanai with the sliding doors that open from the living room makes the unit so enjoyable. With a gas grill on the patio, we enjoyed nearly every meal sitting on the lanai overlooking the beach. The owners of this unit have everything covered. Really, everything and every little detail. Every tool and utensil you'll need in the kitchen, to everything you'll need for a day at the beach.The owners were very responsive and helpful. They answered every question quickly and ensured our stay was comfortable. We will definitely rebook again for future stays.

This was our second time at this spot and we absolutely love it and will be back again. We stayed in other condos on Maui and this one is by far the best. I was in awe every time we walked through the front door. Breakfast and drinks on the Lanai while playing Crib, yahtzee and reading books were the favourite part of our vacation. Plus can never get enough swimming with turtles right in front of us and walking the pristine beach. Plus the pool and hot tub that are never busy. We walked one morning along the trail in from of The Four Seasons, Grand Wailea and the Fairmont and wondered why anyone would stay there where the beaches are busy and you are packed around the pool like sardines fighting for spot. The Makena Surf is a hidden amazing gem. Thank you so much!

What a beautiful location. The beach and view from the unit were stunning. The beach and snorkeling were amazing. I counted at least 8 turtles in the area on all days. Often we had the beautiful pool and hot tub to ourselves.

We had an amazing stay. The condo is just as advertised, with an amazing view and a wonderful kitchen. We love the Makena area and Makena Surf. You are far enough away from the busy hotels to be able to feel secluded, but you are close enough to enjoy a great meal or visit to the bar at one of them.

We had such a wonderful stay! The property was clean and well updated. The view when you walk in will literally take your breath away. It was the perfect week for our family- the teens loved the pool area and tennis courts. The beach was great and had good snorkeling as well- had two turtles pop over to say hi one afternoon while we were swimming. Peter was so hospitable and made us feel at home. Thank you so much for making it such a great week!

Makena Surf is a great place to stay, just a mile or so away from the major tourist areas. F-204 is fantastic (especially the panoramic view of the ocean), the beach is wonderful and never crowded, the pool is incredible, and we had everything we could need during our stay. If you want to be close to the tourist areas but not in the heart of it, this is the place. Maria is fantastic to work with! Hope to return!

Location of unit can’t be beat. The kitchen and living room are updated (except for carpet), however bedrooms are outdated and need some TLC. We were disappointed that many other units had boogie boards and beach umbrellas available for use while we only had beach chairs. An umbrella on lanai was also needed at table.

We recently stayed at this condo in Maui and had a memorable trip. The location is absolutely unbeatable—steps from the beach with stunning ocean views, and close to everything in Wailea. The lanai was our favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee and evening sunsets, and the surrounding property was peaceful and beautifully maintained.A big shoutout to the management company Ali’i Resorts!!! They were outstanding! Very responsive, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. They made everything easy and smooth, from booking to check-in to check-out to addressing any questions or issues we had.That said, the unit itself could really use a major update. The unit and furniture is dated and showing wear, and the overall decor feels tired. The kitchen also needs some attention—the utensils are worn out, and the knife block is especially in need of replacement. For the price point and location, a refresh would make a huge difference in comfort and overall experience.With some investment in updating the condo and replacing the furnishings and kitchen tools, this could easily be a five-star rental. Until then, it’s still a great place to stay for the location and management alone—but future guests should know what to expect.

Our stay at Makena Surf was absolutely incredible—the condo was beautiful, spotless, and well-equipped, with breathtaking ocean views from the lanai. We woke up to the sound of waves and watched stunning sunsets every evening.The beach just steps away was perfect—calm, clear water ideal for swimming and snorkeling. We saw sea turtles and vibrant tropical fish almost every day!The property is quiet, beautifully landscaped, and feels like a private retreat, yet it's just minutes from Wailea’s shops and restaurants. Truly the best vacation spot we’ve ever experienced—we can’t wait to come back!

We were greeted by the friendly helpful owners. The beautiful well stocked updated condo had the most gorgeous view from the lanai. Turtle town is right below. Snorkel heaven! The only drawback is it’s on the 3rd floor with no elevator.

My husband and I went to Maui with our two young adult children. We did a lot of adventuring on the island and found this to be a great location for what we wanted to do. The condo is located in an upscale community with a beautiful moderately sized beach. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking at home and dining on the lanai. The bedrooms were dark in the morning helping us sleep in a little. We had some maintenance issues that were addressed. The only thing missing was a beach umbrella which I went out and purchased and left with the beach chairs. Would stay again and recommend.

We were of family of three generations. Six of us, ages 6 to 65. It is the perfect family condo. Very well appointed. Gorgeous views. Great beach and pools. There were a few issues, maintenance wise (slider that wouldn't open, safe that didn't work, kitchen cabinet doors loose) but one call to Ali'i resorts and everything was taken care of ASAP! We would consider a going back and definitely recommend it to friends.

This Kihei property exceeded all our expectations! The location is absolutely perfect - right on a beautiful beach with breathtaking views of the ocean and neighboring islands. The photos don't do justice to watching palm trees sway against a star-filled night sky or enjoying stunning sunsets from the porch.The condo is situated in an ideal area of Maui, with convenient access to restaurants, shops, and activities while still feeling peaceful and private. The beach access is fantastic, with a perfect mix of sand and volcanic rocks creating a picturesque shoreline.Amenities were plentiful and exactly as described. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Communication with the host was excellent - responsive, helpful and accommodating throughout our stay.Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect Maui getaway. We're already planning our return trip! Mahalo for the unforgettable experience.

We had a wonderful stay with our family including kids and a 2 1/2 yr old grandson. 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!
