Awesome location. I would give 5 stars for the location. But the water was out couple times during the stay, especially in the middle of shower. There are ants and some other bugs so be aware of that. Just don’t leave any food outside. The beach is right in front, one of the best snorkeling spot to see the turtle.

This property was a winner. The lanai had a spectacular view overlooking Chang's Beach. We had a maintenance issue that was fixed promptly. Beach chairs provided by the property. We hope to return soon!

We had a wonderful time staying there for 20 days. The property is located in a beautiful spot and well established, which makes for nice landscaping and private setting. The view from our Unit was stunning and it was very conveniently located to the beach, pool, tennis courts and parking. The unit itself is very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. While the layout, cabinets and furnishings are a bit dated, it felt like home. The second bedroom is rather small with a queen size bed, which made things a bit tight for our two adult daughters. We definitely would go back though.

The check-in process is not well-defined if you're going through VRBO. Be forewarned you need to pay attention to all your emails/texts/in app messages because check-in takes place several miles away from the property.
Aside from that, this is the best location we've stayed in on Maui and at Makena Surf. There were a few tired furnishings and the dish washer and washer/dryer might need a refresh, but overall, it was fantastic. The view and location trumped anything marginal. There are beach chairs, an umbrella, and a washer/dryer which weren't very well communicated in the listing.
The staff was stellar and responsive. It was very easy to text with them. We did have to ask about a few things not working but they were on it in a heartbeat and it didn't detract from the stay.

The unit was just what we were hoping for and expecting—beautiful unobstructed view, right on the beach, property nicely set up, not congested with easy access to activities. Staff were accommodating. Would definitely return.
