Great location. B303 is very clean and well stocked; everything from utensils to beach chairs. Beautiful views. Can’t go wrong at Makena Surf. Owner was very responsive and helpful.

Makena is a world class destination and the Makena Surf is a first class location. Located directly on one of the most beautiful beaches, this unit is in the best building and is impeccably maintained. This is not a rental unit but like the home of a close friend. Everything you would expect at home is there. We highly recommend it!

We can't praise this beautiful property, or Mark and Cory's hospitality, enough! We are seasoned VRBO travelers, and this condo exceeded all of our expectations. It's hard to imagine a better location -- beachfront on one of Maui's most gorgeous beaches. The views, sounds of the waves, and proximity to great snorkeling would alone have made this property fantastic. The condo and its amenities are the cherry on top. We enjoyed the pools and beautiful grounds, and appreciated the comfortable and well-appointed condo (with comfy beds, all the kitchen tools, and every piece of beach equipment you might need). Mark was also a great host, communicating with us ahead of time and during our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We can't wait to return!

This condo is everything it says it is and more! It was spotless, had a fully stocked kitchen and the view was amazing! We enjoyed it so much, it was hard to leave. Not only was the view fabulous, the snorkeling right from the beach in front of the condo was our favorite snorkeling spot. So many fish and tons of turtles! An easy beach entry. We are experienced snorkelers and have snorkeled on many islands/places. This was the best!
The condo complex was beautiful and very quiet (we were there in September). We enjoyed the pool for relaxing late afternoon swims. The location was perfect for us on the island. Many restaurants and things to do in the area. Our meeting place for our snorkel trip to Molokini Crater was right down the road. There were also many other snorkel spots nearby. We love south Maui.
Bonus was our hosts Mark and his wife. They are top notch! Mark was very helpful with many things and communication was easy and replies were in a timely manner. He even went above and beyond when we left a few things at the condo!
We go to a lot of VRBO's and this was one of our best experiences (condo and host). I would not hesitate in the least to rent this condo again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The most impressive experience with VRBO ever! The view from B303 could not be beat!! The condo was impeccable. The host was beyond amazing. He interacted with me long before our stay, during our stay and after our stay. We were celebrating my 80th birthday. A beautiful large floral arrangement from the Joseph's was on the kitchen counter. We also received a bottle of wine and a generous gift basket. I received a number of birthday cards from the staff and the host. I was treated like I really was important to them. I rented 3 different condos and none of the other hosts even came close to the Joseph's. In fact, the hosts of the other two condos were not very communicative. I had to contact (Coldwell Banker) for check-in instructions. The air conditioner in F201 was not sufficient to cool the condo in the afternoon because of the sun. I would only rent from the Joseph's in the future. Thank you for all you did to make my trip so awesome!!

Just a beautiful spot only 5 minutes from all your shopping and restaurants. Being truly beach front you have the ocean at your feet as soon as you get there. Clean, well maintained place with all the toys, chairs, and amenities you’ll want! We’ll be back for sure!

This unit is as direct ocean front as it gets. The western view is incredible with a very large comfortable balcony to enjoy. The unit itself is excellent. Layout, furnishings, everything. We had four adults and worked well. Fantastic beach right in front - easy access. Great swimming and snorkeling right there. Beautiful property, great location with many Wialea restaurants and golf close by. Makena fabulous. Owner communicated and helped with everything. Can’t say enough great things about this property. To us this condo was way better than even the high end resorts in the area. Just closeness to the ocean, view, access to beach and expierience.

Would not stay anywhere else in Maui, but Makena Surt. And this has to be one of the top units - on the top floor directly facing the ocean off the deck with a pretty private pool out the front door. Absolutely perfect for two couples. Both bedrooms were large and very accommodating. Entire place felt brand new. We love snorkeling right off the beach, and this location certainly has that. The condos are pretty private, gated, and the beach pretty secluded. Yet just a few minutes to all the Wailea restaurants and shopping, etc. The host could not have been more responsive to our requests. You will not be disappointed.

I read all the 10/10 reviews of this property prior to booking and all are accurate. Just finished nearly two weeks at the property and it is absolutely spectacular. Location right on the beach, close proximity to restaurants and golf. My kids snorkeled right at the beach and two beautiful pools are located on the property. The condo was beautiful and recently renovated. Full kitchen and outdoor grill worked well. Sunset views from the balcony are not to be missed. Communication was great with owners Mark and Cory. Nothing I would change about this property and highly recommend. Definitely plan to return.

Well-kept property with really cool flameless candles.
The Snorkeling experience just a few steps away is one of the best on Maui.
Have stayed here 3 times and will come back.

This property was perfect for our family of 4. Our boys loved playing on the beach and riding the waves all day with the provided boogie boards. The view is unmatched and the large doors opening up to the lanai was perfect for listening to the waves. The beach was never crowded and the waves were great for letting our kids play. We absolutely loved this property and will definitely be back! We watched the beautiful Maui sunset every night from the quiet and peaceful lanai. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us.

It was our first trip to Hawaii and naturally we wanted all to be perfect. Thanks to this amazing condo and location it was! Our family of four was overwhelmed by the view. The ocean and mountains were spectacular. The beach was private and quiet ... with perfect sand for our morning and evening strolls along the Pacific.
The snorkeling and turtle viewing was the real deal as we saw turtles each and every time we snorkeled. The condo is supplied with all the amenities a family would desire ... beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. Also no need to sweat the small stuff as the owners Mark & Cory along with Maria the property manager have all your needs covered (laundry detergent, bathroom necessities, cleaning supplies, paper towel, napkins, fully stocked kitchen, etc.). We were also surprised by the welcoming gift basket we found when we checked in! This unit deserves the Five star rating it perpetually receives!!
Thank you Mark, Cory, and Maria for the family vacation of a lifetime.

This was by far the best VRBO we stayed at in all of our years traveling to Hawaii. It is steps from a very soft sandy beach. The location is very quiet away from the crowds. The kitchen is very well furnished with all the kitchen utensils you need. The view out to the ocean from the lanai is outstanding. We had several dinners out on the lanai. Highly highly recommended!

My family and I had an excellent time at Makena Surf! The location is unbeatable: with the best view!! (think: perfect morning coffees on the lanai, beautiful sunsets every night, hearing the ocean waves from our beds); easy access to the great beach (which was not crowded, has perfect waves for kids to play/boogie board and great snorkeling); and close to stores/shopping if desired. The unit is exactly as presented, and it the best stocked kitchen we have ever had, which was a real treat! We actually cancelled our one dinner reservation because you couldn't beat watching the sunset on our own lanai! The complex also has two great big pools that my kids really enjoyed swimming in. The owner and property manager were both fantastic. This is our new favourite spot on Maui, and I hope to be back soon. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Maui condo! Everything was perfect and exactly as advertised! The sunsets were out of this world and the patio was a perfect place to enjoy them! So much so, that we rarely left for dinner! Our kids really enjoyed the beach - the snorkeling was amazing and the surf was perfect for boogie boarding. So rare to find both on the same beach! The condo had everything we expected, and more! Our stay was incredibly relaxing and we are already looking forward to our next visit! Mahalo to Maria and the fabulous owners of B-303!

We had a great time in Makena Surf B-303! Is was very clean, beautiful, comfortable…just amazing. We ate out on the lanai everyday, enjoying the beautiful view. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need…from beach things to laundry soap and even special Maui snacks. We hope to stay again very soon.

The property was amazing. The photos of the unit, while very accurate, don't do it justice. Mark & Cory (host) have a great place and were exceptional in timely responses to any questions. Maria (property/VRBO manager) was great too.
The unit had EVERYTHING we needed and then some (e.g., nice touch having the phone chargers on the nightstands in the master bedroom).
The sunsets from the back porch of the unit and beach were fantastic. My family took photos on a grassy section of the Makena Surf property (about a 2-3 min walk from the unit) and it was easily one of the prettiest views I'd ever seen.
We are a family of 4 with two teens. We love having a resort location/vibe AND having the space to move around in a unit. If you are looking for something in the SW section Maui in the Makena/Wailea area, I'd highly recommend this unit. We easily had a 5-star experience. We visited one of the nearby exclusive resorts with a resort pass and my wife and I looked at each other and said we clearly made the right decision staying where we did.
Mahola to Mark, Cory & Maria.

Our stay at Makena Surf B303 on Maui was amazing. It exceeded all expectations. Mark and Corey's home was cozy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It made a perfect location to go out and explore the island. And it was the perfect location to just "be at home on the lanai" - whale watch, listen to the surf, watch the sunset and sip champagne. The property manager, Maria, checked in both on arrival and departure and was available should any assistance be needed. Thank you Mark and Corey for sharing your home with us - it truly was a week spent in paradise. Warmest Mahalo! Amy and Burt

We have stayed at the Makena Surf many times but B-303 is the most well-stocked and most welcoming condo we’ve ever stayed in. From the very helpful, friendly and professional manager to the array of kitchen and beach items available, this condo is a “dream come true”. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Makena Surf.

I am a hotel girl…but after staying at this property, I don’t know how I can go back to a hotel! The communication with Mark the owner was fantastic even before we arrived. When we arrived, Maria the manager made herself available to us the entire time. Ok, now with that out of the way, the condo had the most spectacular view with the most wonderful lanai. We cooked our BBQ dinners overlooking the incredible Maui sunset every night. The condo had every single thing we could have needed. We cannot wait to return. Thank you, Mark, Cory and Maria!

For those looking to enjoy a quiet Maui beach with sunset views, look no further. Makena Surf is a serene complex on a lovely sandy beach. If you like snorkeling, Turtle Town is about a 100 yard swim from this beach; tons of turtles and fish, pretty coral. The beach is fairly uncrowded, especially Monday through Thursday. A few hundred yards down the beach is a state park where you see folks getting married on the beach literally every night (presumably because a photographer told them this beach was quiet and perfect at sunset).
Any condo in this complex would be good, but B303 seems really perfect. It’s been recently redecorated in a modern, tasteful vibe. Listening to the surf crashing on the waves for morning coffee never gets old. There are thoughtful touches in this condo ... plenty of spices, beach chairs and umbrellas, and a box filled with anything you might possibly need on the beach.
Lastly, the owners and house manager Maria are super responsive and helpful. Maria had great recommendations on take out food options. In short, all the 5 star reviews are well-earned. We are already contemplating when we return.
