Our family had another great stay at Ekolu. We love this property, as the units are roomy, the facilities are great, and the view is unbeatable. Even better this time, we got introduced to our host, Teri. She was super helpful and amazing to deal with. Her unit was the most fully stocked one we have ever stayed in, and it's evidence that her guests feel attached to their stays and want to pay it forward to the next guests. We will be staying here again for sure.

Everything was nice and kitchen was fully equipped. The condo is an older one meaning the pool is older without a view, but great value for the money and we had a lovely time. View from deck was beautiful. The ones off the bedrooms were not used. One houses the AC unit.

If you are looking for a place that has close proximity to beaches, but is away from the fast paced vibe of South Kihei, this is the spot for you. Enjoyed our time and decompressed.

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect with an amazing view! We couldn’t ask for anything more. We highly recommend staying here for the perfect vacation stay!!

This place was exactly as described in the listing. We were within 10 minutes of multiple awesome beaches and activities for our trip. The neighborhood was excellent and walking distance to the shops at Wailea (including groceries). The sunsets and lanai were our favorite part of the condo, but everything was excellent and just as expected. Thank you for letting us stay!

Unit was very quiet and just as nice as in the pictures. Appreciate the beach essentials as it would have been difficult to bring in luggage. Host responded immediately to any questions we had

If you want to shake off that “travel” aura and feel like you have arrived at home then this is the place for you! First impression…this place looks exactly like the pictures (every room/minus the grill on the lanai and a few upgrades in furniture here and there)! We were anxious to see if the ocean view from the lanai was as pictured….EXACTLY as pictured and then some! We felt like we could embrace the view from the property grounds with lush greenery and beautiful flowers all the way out to the ocean…as far as our eyes could reach left and right it was truly breathtaking! The favorite spot from 6:15 a.m. (could not shake of East Coast time zone) until we left for an excursion and then like a boomerang was right back on the lanai when we returned…just in time for sun set…yum! Did you forget something? No problem…Teri has taken care of everything for you...she remembered that you preferred a comfortable bed with a lot of pillows, soft fresh towels for the bathroom...did you say you had a headache...ahh...check the medicine cabinet...umm...did you need a robe...got that too! In the kitchen...quality dishware/pots/glasses, every gadget you could possibly need...just get your food and you are set. Be nosy or at home and check your closets and draws there are surprises that you may not have thought of...like a flashlight (LOL)! Did you need a picnic bag for the beach...towels... boogie board...okay no surfboard...not missed!! Great location to walk or drive to eatery, shopping....highway to Kahului (airport) or Kaanapali (mountain/ocean scenery)...etc! This was our first “VRBO” experience and it has set the standard for future choices...not everyone’s rating will be the same because of different experiences but the reviews are consistent with our firsthand experience – great stay!! I was so impressed with Teri that I wanted to know if they had other properties on VRBO. Thanks Teri from A&C Columbus, Georgia!

Ideal location. Walking distance to shops and amazing restaurants. Loved being able to not be in a resort property to minimize the unnecessary cost and be able to make a few meals and drinks in a home setting. Perfect!

This condo was perfect for our trip to Maui! The views were wonderful, the beds were super comfortable, and it was extra helpful to be able to use the condo’s beach chairs and towels. Teri was friendly and even recommended a great farmer’s market for us to visit. Mahalo!

Out family had a wonderful time staying at Teri's place for a week on Maui. The view is gorgeous, and we tried to spend every evening watching the sunset from the lanai. Check in was a breeze and Teri reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was spotless and had all the amenities you could ask for. The pool was close by and was a refreshing change of pace for when you got a little tired of the beach (which sounds kind of crazy). The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and well-equipped to accommodate our family of four adults. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and really appreciated Teri's hospitality and being proactive in making sure we have all we needed.

Arrived at the condo and the code I was given to get in did not work as the battery in the lock was dead. Called and texted the host many times that night but did not get a reply. Had to find a hotel late at night, slept 2.5 hours before I had to get up for a meeting. Contacting VRBO to get assistance was impossible. Have not yet received a full refund for the lost room night, taxes and fees. Condo was great, only issue was with the check in and dealing with the refund.

Our 2 couples loved the condo with so many amenities. The 2 king beds were a big plus and were comfortable for all. Everything was fully functional, well kept, great location near Ulua beach and beautiful sunsets from the lanai. We made good use of the 4 beach chairs, boogie board and umbrellas. If we return to Maui, we know where to stay!

This place was perfect for our family Christmas vacation. The condo was in a prime location for excursions and recreation. Amazing view and great accommodations. Thank you for everything Teri!

Great condo with a fully stocked kitchen and beach supplies. It's tastefully decorated and really feels like a home and not one of those rentals managed by a property management company. We did find some ants in the showers but that's to be expected on a tropical island and we did not find it a big deal.

The pictures and description of the listing are very accurate. Had no problems during the stay. The beds, furniture, appliances are all updated and top notch, and it comes with all beach gear you will need.

Beautiful and quiet location. The lanai was our favorite place to eat and hangout. The condo itself was lovely! Comfortable beds, gorgeous kitchen, all the comforts of home! Thanks for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.

We stayed here for a week and it was very nice! When you first get there the air might be off, so make sure to cut all the fans and AC units on, and it will cool down for sure!

We have been to Maui several times and love the Wailea area. This Wailea condo has top notch furniture, kitchen appliances, cookware and serveware. The lanai is large enough to enjoy meals on a beautiful teak patio dining set with expansive ocean views to enjoy the sunrise and sunsets. The complex grounds are very well maintained and it’s an easy walk to get coffee or go to The Shops at Wailea. There are a variety of beach accessories too. Teri was amazing and ensured our stay was comfortable and stress free. I would recommend this condo and definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved the condo and would not think twice about booking it again! Finding suitable and affordable accommodations for 2 adult couples with 2 complete master bedrooms was challenge, however somehow we hit the jackpot with “Sunset Getaway.” It became obvious we selected well as soon as we drove into the well-manicured complex , let alone when we walked through the front door. In all honesty, the pictures on line did not fully do this unit justice. The condo was tastefully decorated, comfortable and spacious. The linens were decent, great dishes, good quality cooking implements, large video collection, travel/guide books, ample beach gear etc. We especially enjoyed the view from the Lanai. This is where we spent most of our time. The sunsets were truly incredible and on occasion, we were treated to glimpses of whales jumping. The complex pool was a few steps away. We often walked down to the ocean for morning beach walks all the way to Kihei. It was a great way to start the day!

We had a wonderful stay in this great condo. Whether watching whales during a morning coffee or enjoying happy hour as the sun sets below the horizon, the lanai views are great. The condo is well equipped and well decorated. Worked great for two couples. Home away from home. Beach chairs, boogie boards, and umbrellas were very handy. So was the washer and dryer. Very quiet location. Great stay. Mahalo Mike.



December 2013
Spent more than a week at this delightfully decorated condo. Very convenient location, close to beaches, snorkeling, restaurants, shopping. The owner was extremely helpful with any and all logistics. We would most certainly stay here again when in Maui. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

The view from Makena almost to Lahaina is magnificent but that's not all. All adult, quite, gentrified, well maintained, lovely setting with a super comfortable dining lanai. Quite pool 45 ft away and owner's lending library 45 ft in the opposite direction. Fully equipped doesn't begin to describe the kitchen and pantry (inventory first before you go to Safeway). We beached every morning (a wide variety of beaches) and lounged or toured in the afternoons. This end of the island is the best by far and this place is THE ONE.

My family of four loved Mike's condo in Wailea. As others have said, photos on this site do not do it justice. There are so many awesome touches and this was the best-stocked condo I have ever rented...and we've rented plenty all over the world. The views were spectacular. We spent every evening taking in the gorgeous sunsets on the lanai with a great bottle of red. The fact that the condo is set up high allows for these views. The closer you get to the ocean...the more "blocked" the views become. Access by car was easy as pie to anywhere you wanted to go. It was a very quick drive to so many lovely beaches and a great walk down to the Shops at Wailea. The beds were comfortable and linens were luxurious. The grounds at Ekolu are lush and well maintained. We did not use the pool but it was right beside the unit and quick to access. We preferred going to the many beaches that line the area. Mike has lots of items to make your beach stay comfortable like chairs, cooler bags, large cooler, and an umbrella. Another savings. Renters have been hard on them though and I'm sure he has to replace often. Everything worked perfectly...with the slight exception of the wifi from time to time. We had to keep resetting, but this even happens at our home and ski condo from time to time, so no fault of Mike's. He did give very good instructions on how to deal with issues like this, was very responsive to all questions Everything was extremely easy and straight forward for check in and check out. We are returning to Maui in two months and had previously booked a condo in Kihei with friends and I'm guessing it can't possibly be as nice as this one...I know the view won't be! I'm actually sad we are committed to the other one as I can't imagine a nicer place for the money...and, the entire area of Wailea is much more "thought out" and prettier than Kihei. We hope to return to this condo in the future. I can't image a more perfect space, location, or owner to deal with! Thank you so much Mike!

We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay. The condo was beautifully decorated, yet had a very "homey" feeling. Extremely quiet, yet a short walk down to the shops at Wailea as well as the beach. Everything promised in the listing was provided. The pictures do not do it justice -- it is much more beautiful! Sitting on the lanai, watching the sunset, was the closest thing to what I imagine heaven will be.

This was my second stay in this fabulous condo with an amazing location. The furnishings are luxurious and extremely comfortable. The property is landscaped for beauty and seclusion, so it feels very private; and yet, you are close to restaurants, shops, resort hotels, and your choice of nearly private beaches. The best places to watch the sunset: (1) the lanai at unit 806,and (2) the cliff above the beach behind the Wailea Beach Marriott. Favorite beach: take the first right turn just past the Fairmont Kea Lani resort and follow the road, past private residences, until you see a sandy area to pull over and park (right and left side of road); walk on a path through trees to a beautiful fine-sand beach with gentle waves. Great snorkeling (I swam with a giant sea turtle) and shore diving (scuba). Quiet, clean, and shade if you want it.

This is an excellent condo for the following reasons: - upper floor location, quiet and excellent views of the ocean; - parking is close to the unit and always available; - a short, pleasant walk through the manicured property leads you to the Shops at Wailea, hotels, restaurants and beaches; - the swimming pool is practically right outside your door! - the unit is clean, uniquely decorated and well laid out; - the sunsets from the lanai are fabulous! This unit is really beautiful and the owner has put a lot of effort into making it comfortable and attractive with lots of creative art and artifacts in every room. The owner was very prompt, professional and excellent to deal with during the rental process. If there are any minor faults they are that the kitchen is a bit cramped and the indoor dining area is too small for more than a couple of people but you'll probably be eating out on the lanai and enjoying the view most of the time anyway! We hope to enjoy this unit and its fabulous location on Maui again! Highly recommended!

Aloha. This is just a fantastic place to stay in Maui. We simply adored the condo. We had a wonderful vacation and this condo had absolutely anything anyone could ever need. Beach gear, a full kitchen, games, books - you name it. It was absolutely perfect! Very clean and well kept. Spacious 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Very comfortable. We especially loved the great kitchen and of course the beautiful lanai with such an amazing view. You can have dinner, watch the sunset and if the season is right, see the whales. Bliss. The property itself is fantastic. Quiet and beautifully landscaped. Lots of parking. Nice neighbors. We used a nice little BBQ area twice, right on the golf course. The pool is quiet and very clean. Just what we needed in order to relax. This was our second visit to Maui and when we return we will most definitely stay here again. We'll definitely recommend this to anyone we know who is planning a holiday in Maui and in gorgeous Wailea. The owner was very helpful and great with communication, payment and instructions prior to our arrival. Directions and entry were a breeze. We didn't have a single problem or issue during our stay. If you don't stay here, you're crazy :-) A little about us so you get our point of view: 2 couples around 40 years old (but we feel like we're in our early 30's), young professionals from Canada, trying to get away from hectic schedules, also vacationing with friends at other properties. No kids or pets with us.

The condo is everything described and more. Waking up each morning and having coffee out on the Lanai that overlooks the ocean was amazing. You can easily see Whales breaching from the Lanai, especially at sunset during whale watching season. The kitchen has everything you would need, and both bedrooms have large beds with very nice linens. You can walk down to the beach in a few minutes, and there is a running/walking path that runs along the beach near the resorts and shops. There are several great restaurants within minutes of the condo (Joe's, Spago, Capishe to name a few), and a Safeway close by to pick up groceries if you want to make dinner at the condo. We used the beach chairs and towels every day. The beaches near the condo(3 of them) are very nice, and provide great snorkeling(and scuba). Staying at the condo was so much nicer and private than a resort, and if you do feel the need to check out a resort, you can walk or drive right down to one. I would recommend the condo to anyone that is going to Maui for a visit!
