This property had a great view and was very large. We had issues with the air conditioner. It did not cool the condo sufficiently, especially in the afternoon. There was no communication with the host. I had to call Coldwell Banker to get the info. You must take into account that some guest may fly a day or two earlier and stay in a hotel to avoid a 9 hr, plane ride. Hence, I do not feel 3 days is enough notice!

Wonderful, spacious condo! Right on the ocean, with excellent snorkeling out front and south to five graves. Beaches to the north (short walk) are gorgeous for swimming and sunsets.

Makena Surf is wonderful. We've stayed at a few units at this location. This unit is similar to others but needs a few upgrades. Some of the smaller details were missing or needed attention but overall, it was a good experience. The water dispenser in the fridge broke when we were there and management did their best to help the situation by bringing us water and ice.

The grounds of the Makena surf are great, however the condo itself was not great from a maintenance perspective; The Mattress was uncomfortable, The ceiling fan didn’t work,
the refrigerator froze our food and the ice maker didn’t work
The bbq ran out of propane after 2 uses
I would recommend the Makena surf as a property, however I would not recommend this particular unit for the issues noted above

Absolutely perfect setting. The condo was very clean and everything was wonderful. The view was spectacular - we watched whales and sunsets right from our lanai. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved the location and natural beauty of this condo complex. We were disappointed with the furnishings and decor. They were dated and not aesthetically coordinated.

We had a fabulous time and couldn't be more pleased with the condo, its location within Makena Surf, or view from patio. We are already looking forward to coming again soon!

We have been to Makena Surf several times before, but this was our first time in this unit. This premium condo overlooks a small cove with some great snorkeling (several tour groups stop by the area). The condo is spacious and well-appointed. Makena Surf has some great amenities and direct access to a large beach. The kitchen has the basics but is not equipped to prepare more complex meals. We had a minor glitch with the property codes provided that we resolved quickly. As a corner unit, the lanai lacks the privacy of some of the other units. All-in-all we had a wonderful time.

The overall experience was nice. A big umbrella and a small ice chest to take to the beach would have made our experience better.Asking 1/2 of the daily price for a late check out was way too much and should be changed to possibly an hourly rate.

The condo had amazing views, and is located a short walk from one of the famous “turtle beaches” in Maui. The snorkeling was amazing! The condo was very nice, though the mattress on the pull-out sofa needs to be replaced. We spent most of our time on the lanai overlooking offshore islands and beautiful sunsets. Our only minor issue occurred when the water dispenser in the refrigerator leaked. We called the property manager, who said a maintenance person would be out the next day. No one came to fix it before we checked out 2 days later. Overall, though, the place, the location, the Makena Surf facilities were all top notch.

Our family of four with a 15 and 17 yo loved this stay! Snorkeling is fabulous around the rocks off the beaches next to the property- just a small walk. In fact everyday we saw your companies drop off snorkelers to the cove. The grounds of Mākena Surf are lush and beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked, laundry detergent was provided, along with beach towels and lots of beach chairs to use for your stay. There is a Keuirg/carafe coffee maker. The master bath shower is huge! Only downside on that is our kids used it too so we ended up sharing one shower when there were two available- ha. Keep in mind this property is pretty far south on the island. It is close to shops of Wailea - about 10 min. Coming in at night is tough as it’s hard to tell where all the buildings are located. Follow the path to the right around the back of the office. I wish there had been signs pointing out where bldgs are located.

Fantastic stay at a fantastic property. Great snorkeling from what is essentially a private beach, incredible views!

Very clean. Best stocked vacation rental, plenty of everything available. View is amazing. Location perfect for getting away close enough to what is needed but still far enough away to be quiet and relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. When we walked in, the view captivated us. Really loved the heavy duty double sliding glass doors making up a wall of windows. Also loved that it was a corner unit giving it an open feel on the lanai. It felt spacious at over 1300 sf and had everything we needed in supplies and amenities. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and groomed. Lots of birds singing on the property made it really feel like a tropical paradise. Everyone around was friendly and respectful of the rules. We will definitely stay here again!

The overall condo complex is just amazing. Well maintained and right on a real nice reef and Beach. The corner or end unit like this is particularly nice as you have Windows along the side which really open up the space to make you feel like you're sitting outside even when you're inside. The furniture is very comfortable and arranged well for a group to socialize or watch the tv. The kitchen is well stocked for your cooking needs. There are a few minor maintenance issues but these were easy to look over. It would have been nice to have had a boogie board or two and some umbrellas in the box where they store the chairs as most other units will do. That said it's very easy to get yourself set up by calling Maui vacation rental equipment. You can order the stuff from home and have a delivered on your arrival date to your condo

My wife, 5-month-old daughter and I spent 2 weeks at @ this Maena Surfg property in October 2019. The grounds, facility, unit, and view were beyond our expectations. We originally booked the unit for only 1 week but after falling in love with the view and surrounding area we decided to extend our stay and cancel other reservations. The unit is fantastic with an exceptional view. Everything you need (kitchen, bath, etc.) is available in the unit. The appliances are hospitality items are top-notch. We're looking forward to returning to this unit in the near future.

Great location and fantastic property. This was our second stay at Makena Surf complex. Our previous stay was a luxurious ground floor unit in Building E but since we love snorkeling and spent most of our water time at the smaller beach we decided to give F201 a try and what a great decision. The second floor offered more privacy and the views were amazing. We’ve already booked the same unit for a return trip this fall. The only criticism we have is the deck lounges were sub-par but other than that everything about the unit was perfect for us.

First the management staff was very helpful and thorough with the rental process and instructions for the condo. When we first walked in the view is breathtaking and we spent many enjoyable times morning and evening on the lanai.The bedrooms were very comfortable and decorated very nicely. Spacious bathrooms. Having the laundry was a bonus. Well appointed kitchen and amenities. We were able to enjoy our time with the family at the condo and visit the sights of Maui.We had one issue with 2 cabinet doors with a hinge issue...management was very responsive and it was fixed promptly.The condo complex grounds are well maintained with mature plants and trees. The walkways are lit and perfect for an evening stroll. Our daughters especially enjoyed snorkeling at the beach in the early mornings.All in all it was a wonderful stay and would definitely choose this property again.

Very old inside. Refrigerator new but everything else original.
This place really needs an update.
Location maybe the best ever, but furniture very old and smelly.
kitchen appliances poor. we bought and left a toaster oven.
we brought and took back a printer and a DVD player.

This condo is very comfortable and spacious with a spectacular view. The location is great. The beach is just steps away with the best snorkeling. We saw beautiful fish, coral, and a few turtles. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the lounge chairs on the terrace. They were not so comfortable to sit in (maybe they just need the strings replaced) - luckily the chairs around the terrace table were fine so we sat on those. Besides that everything else was perfect.

We've stayed at Makena Surf previously, and were a bit concerned that our family might not find it as perfect as we had. Not to worry. Six of us stayed reasonably comfortably in a 2br unit, and the amenities are out of this world. Extremely convenient to the beach and some of the best snorkeling that Maui has to offer.

We had an excellent time despite less than ideal weather and a technical issue with the wifi that took 3 days to resolve. The property management team at CBIP was outstanding to deal with. Real pros. The furniture is a little dated but clean and comfortable. We will be back for sure.

Perfectly situated on the extension of Wailea Alanui Drive called Makena Alanui (almost exactly 1/2 way between the stretch of 4+ star hotels (Four Seasons, Fairmont) and the Big Beach of Makena State Park). Gorgeously maintained property, spectacular ocean views from the deck. Could not have been happier.
