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.

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.

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!

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!

The condo was beautiful. It was near to the pool and beach. It was the perfect location as it was also close to everything else. Owner was easy to get ahead a hold of and and very helpful.

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.

We had everything we needed! Easy entry, very clean well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, excellent location a 2 minute stroll just feet from the pool residing in front of the beach with partial views of the ocean. Beach chairs and towels provided. Hosts even provided complimentary Hawaiian snacks and treats on arrival too!

The room was even nicer than the pictures shown! It was clean, comfortable and only 4-5 minutes walk to the pool and beach. Beach chairs, an umbrella and other beach gear were provided. The complex was very quiet at night and we got amazing sleep while there! We would stay again.

Loved this unit. We’ve stayed in Ekahi many times. This unit was close to our favorite quiet pool. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but a good way to exercise after watching the sunset.

Cozy. Close to pools, grills, beach and parking. Kitchen - very low water pressure in sink. Great frig/freezerThe lawn sprinkling system soaked the lanai table, chairs and carpet multiple times making the table unusable. Several of the chairs on the lanai are about to collapse. The shower floors are old and in need of cleaning as the grout is discolored.The televisions took some time to figure out how to use as there were too many control devices.

Outstanding property. Views were terrific. We had eight people sharing two condos and this one was the one we used to gather in each night for dinner and game time. Great entertainment space! Beautiful lanai with incredible views of the ocean and sunsets. We would stay here again!
October 2025
The view was amazing. Beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, we had a cockroach problem. They were in the kitchen and in both bedrooms upstairs. When I contacted the property owner, she stated maintenance would handle it. They sprayed Raid in the kitchen and said we could spray it upstairs if we wanted to. The treatment did not get rid of the bugs. For what we paid for a week in this rental, that was totally unaccpetable.
October 2025
High end! Great location, a/c in every room, great showers and beds. Kitchen VERY well stocked. A few spices only, get your own everything else. Fantastic. Will definitely stay again.

Very nice, clean unit, easy walk to pool pavillon and beach. Very comfy beds. We really enjoyed our stay. Although we didnt turn on the TV until the last night we were there, we found the 3 separate controls somewhat user-unfriendly. Not a big deal, but instructions would have been welcome.A/C sensors temperamental if sliding doors aren't shut tightly. Rental office very responsive to questions/needs. Wonderful place! We will be back!

We could not have been happier with this rental. It was perfectly located and everything we needed was right under our fingertips. Any questions we had were immediately answered and they even worked with us for a discounted rate for a late checkout. We HIGHLY recommend staying here
