The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.
Reviewers love the overall setting and mood at Wailea Ekahi. The grounds are repeatedly described as lush, beautifully maintained, and peaceful, with direct access to lovely Keawakapu Beach for swimming, snorkeling with turtles, and sunset-watching. Many guests highlight the oceanfront main pool and pavilion as a standout—great views, plentiful seating, and a full outdoor kitchen—plus easy access to Wailea’s hotels, shops, and restaurants along the coastal path. The vibe is relaxed and family-friendly while still feeling upscale and safe.
Inside the condos, most guests find clean, comfortable, and well-equipped spaces with full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, effective A/C (varies by unit), and lots of thoughtful beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, toys). Lanais are a major perk—upper locations tend to deliver wider ocean/sunset views; lower spots put you closer to the beach. Multiple pools (including quiet ones), BBQ areas, a small gym, pickleball, and shuffleboard make it easy to mix beach days with on‑site downtime. Communication and check‑in generally earn high marks, and many travelers are repeat visitors who say they’d book the same unit again.
Common trade‑offs reflect the property’s hillside layout and varied unit positions. Expect an uphill walk back from the beach (some guests drive to the pavilion lot), and note that outer‑edge units near the road can have lanai traffic noise. A/C systems differ by unit and can be loud or occasionally need service; starter supplies and beach gear quality also vary. Tropical “critters” (ants/roaches) pop up occasionally, though managers are typically responsive, and the main pool/pavilion may be closed at times for maintenance. To set yourself up for a great stay, choose lower village for easiest beach access or upper for bigger views/quiet, confirm A/C type and proximity before booking, and ask about any scheduled amenity closures.

This was the perfect condo for our family. Very well appointed with all the comforts of home. The owners provided a high chair and pack and play which was super helpful. The view from the lanai is stunning and we ate all our meals there. The accessibility to the pool and beach are great. The complex is very family oriented, lots of three generation groups like ours. The seawall is easily accessed and the proximity to the shops and hotels is really convenient. I would love to stay in this unit the next time I visit Maui.

We love ekahi village. This was our third stay in the complex. The beach and pool area are great. Condo had great views and well stocked - lots of boogy boards, coolers and a wagon to transport things to the beach.

This was a great vacation rental in a good location. Beach was close as well as the shops at Wailea. Lots of things within waking distance. This was a corner unit with good privecy and had everything we needed for a good vacation. Host was easy to communicate with and provided detailed instructions to all the things we needed.

The overall location was perfect. The condo was immaculate, spacious and well equipped. The amenities were fine with the exception of being unable to use the tv. We also never saw the listed hot tub. Neither of these things were a big issue for us

Very enjoyable stay-would book again Plenty of beach towels and chairs for the beach and coolerIt would be helpful to have something mentioned in the listing about how far the walk is down to main pool and cabana It was to far and un-level ground for my elderly parents to walk so I had to drive down to the pool and drop them off to be able to get to the pool and beach access Also the TV and remotes were a bit challenging to use clearer instructions would be helpful we did need to have the Spectrum cable rebooted which was taken care of by Nathan Over all a very pleasant experience!We have stayed in several different units in the past and it is always so nice to return and have the grounds looking gorgeous and the pools and cabanas well kept upBeach access is always safe and well maintainedIt never disappoints!Thank you to the homeowners for keeping their homes and yards in such great condition It truly is a piece of heaven on earth!

We had the most wonderful time staying at Robin’s lovely home. It had everything we needed and was in a great area for shops restaurants etc and the heated pool and truly amazing beach was more than we expected. Robin was very easy to communicate with and I would stay here again without any hesitation. Thank you again Robin.

We loved our stay here! The condo was better than expected. Very clean, great layout, easy check-in and check-out. The view from the balcony was beautiful and you can even see the ocean. The walk to the main pool took us about five minutes. The way back is uphill but it wasn't too steep so we didn't mind. It's also super easy to load up the car and park in the lot by the pool. We love Ekahi and would definitely stay here again!

Everything was great and we’d return to this unit we just had to shut off air conditioning at night as very loud and disturbing for sleep. Fans above bed and sofa area kept us cool with no noise from fans.
Washer and dryer were super efficient and plenty of good quality towels and linens.
A wonderful beach and beachside pool area near this unit.

Very well appointed kitchen. The place was clean, beautiful views from both the upstairs and downstairs lanai. Very responsive host. A little walk to the beach but we enjoy the quiet and peaceful location. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Steps from the "quiet pool" it was a beautiful stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Condo was very nice and very close to a quiet pool. Had all needed kitchen amenities. Cons: very noisy as it backs up to a very busy street. Too noisy to sit out on the lanai. At night lights from cars came thru the bedroom blinds. Hot water ran out way too quickly when taking a shower—many times within 3 minutes if both bathroom showers were being used at the same time.

The host thought of every detail to ensure our stay was so easy. The condo was immaculate, outfitted with everything we needed to cook, head to the beach, stay cool and relax on the patio. It will be difficult to find another stay as perfect as this one. We could not have been happier. Location is ideal, tiny little walk to quiet pool, bigger walk to large beach side pool and perfect morning walk to the shops at Wailea for coffee. Andaz is located so close for an evening walk for a cocktail. Everything about this experience was what we needed and wanted.

We had a fantastic stay in this condo. The proximity to the beach and pool was definitely one of the best features. The condo was clean and provided all the necessary beach equipment and daily supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed the lanai and view every evening. Amazing sunsets as you can see from the photo! The location of this condo is conveniently close to lots of different restaurants and stores. We look forward to coming back!

My only complaint is that our stay wasn’t longer! Look forward to coming back. Very well appointed condo. Clean comfortable and instructions were simple. It is a bit of a hike back up from the pool, but that wasn’t a problem for us. The unit was quiet and the view of Molokini Crater was terrific.
October 2025
We spent 7 days here and absolutely loved it. The location is excellent — close to the pools and the beach, yet wonderfully private and quiet. The condo was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, from Q-tips and kitchen supplies to beach gear and even pickleball sets. The shaded lanai facing the ocean was a special treat — perfect for morning coffee or sunset relaxation. Simone was a wonderful host! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely be coming back!
October 2025
Great condo in Wailea! Clean and spacious studio. Beach chairs, snorkeling gear and fully equipped for a lovely stay. It was a bit of a walk to beach and pool but great beach with access. Quiet and comfortable with a partial ocean view. Overall positive experience! Wailea is a beautiful area of Maui!

As you know there was miscommunication about our food/supplements hat we dropped off before check-in at 4. I think we were very generous in underestimating worth and were told we would be reimbursed. That hadn’t happened. Otherwise the property was very nice and we enjoyed our stay

What a wonderful condo! The gem has all the comforts of home. Very comfortable condo for my wife and I, the bed slept well and the sofa was perfect for hanging put on after a great day at the beach. This is the condo that we’d both Love to come back to year after year. Thank you for sharing your slice of aloha with us!

A portable air conditioning unit was in use because the original was apparently broken. It was undersized for the studio (the bathroom was never cooled) and was very loud. Even with ear plugs, it interrupted sleep. It also took up valuable floor space. I hope plans are in place to fix the original unit. Otherwise studio was as described.

A wonderful place to stay. So glad we stayed in building 29 because it had an ocean view, was 30 yards from the quiet pool and was only about a third of the way up the steep hill from the beach/main pool area. Spacious unit that was very well stocked. Had everything we needed (beach chairs, towels, etc). Didn't use the pullout but cooked a lot. Communication with Simone was great too. Morning walks on the beach and Wailea path were awesome every morning.
