Everything about this stay was spot-on for our family's week-long getaway. Al reached out on our arrival day to make sure we were checking in ok, and made clear he was easy to reach in case of any problems (not that we had any!). The rooms were clean and spacious, and the kitchen large and well-stocked, but in truth we spent most of our time out on the lanai, enjoying the amazing view.
As for location, we could not have picked better. You're about a five-minute downhill walk from Ulua Beach - small and calm, with great snorkeling on the north end. Walk north along the beach path another 5-10 minutes to Keawakapu - probably our favorite overall for its expansiveness and more active surf. Or if you're not carrying too much stuff, stroll south along the paved path to Wailea and Polo beaches. I actually took a great morning walk all the way down to Po'olenalena. And the main Wailea shopping complex is also only a 10 min walk away - easy for restaurants, groceries, ice cream after sunset.
If you've got more stuff with you, driving to any of these beaches is really quick, and parking is easy. And Kihei itself is a very short drive away - lots of great options for meals and treats.
For an easy yet fun-filled Maui beach stay, I wholeheartedly recommend booking Al's place.

Elua Village is a great location and we have been staying in this gated community for the past 4 years during our kids’ spring break. This was our first time in this unit. The unit was great. It was clean and recently renovated. Beds and pillows were comfortable. View of the water was great and location within the community was fantastic providing convenient access to the main road to easily walk to shops at Waile and our favorite island market.

This property is a well maintained gem, great location steps from pickleball court, upper pool and bbq grills. Less than 5 minute walk to the Pavilion and the beach, also a 2-minute walk straight to the beach path.
The unit is comfortable, completely appointed with everything you might need to enjoy your time there.
The owner is also very accessible and responds quickly with any questions or requests

Our family had a wonderful week at Wailea Elua, the condo is exactly as advertised, clean, spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for the beach. We enjoyed the lanai, the beautiful kitchen and the 2 bathrooms for the 4 of us were perfect. The beach is absolutely beautiful and we all enjoyed snorkeling and playing in the water. The pool we used down by the beach was perfect and the facilities were clean.
We will definitely be back, we had a perfect week - thank you so much!!

This was a great location to the beach and perfect unit for a couple. Our family was on site at Elua in other condo units & our unit was the stop off location for their walk to and from the beach. Loved the time in Hawaii.

This was our second stay in this unit in the Elua complex. We have visited with our daughter and son in law and our 2 grandchildren aged 5 and 8.We all had a wonderful time. This grounds are beautiful and meticulously maintained. The pools and bbq areas were perfect. The beachfront readily accessible and exceptional. Beach chairs and towels for everyone. The interior of the unit provides everything you want and need plus more! Comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. A stunning view from front lanai. Unmatchable sunsets and sunrises and a view of the water and palm trees. We cooked most of our meals in but there are many close dining options. A well equipped kitchen. What more can I say! We honeymooned in Hawaii 44 years ago and have visited many times since and been to all the Islands. This is the place we will keep going back to. Also Sunny and Bob as management team couldnt have been more helpful in the planning stages, checking in with us personally to make sure everything was okay. And thank you again for sending home my wedding ring and husbands sandals we forgot! Highly recommend and 5 star all the way!F

Perfect size for 2-4. Bed was comfy, bathrooms very nice, kitchen and appliances great. View from the lanai was gorgeous-the landscaping and the ocean and sunsets. Brought binoculars and watched whales from the lanai. Grill area very close by and beautiful. Easy walk to the shops. A bit of a hill to the pools and beach and beach walk. Restaurants nearby at the shops and neighboring resorts. Overall a really relaxing wonderful place to stay

Amazing property. Perfect location, close to everything. We didn't want to leave.
We have 2 teenagers, the location proximity was great for them, it allowed them to walk to the shops on their own, and go to the amazing beach, pool, or pickleball courts on their schedule.
The property backs onto the main road with some road noise. If you are a light sleeper this may bother you. We were perfectly fine with it.
We could even see the whales from the Lanai.

Beautifully maintained grounds, clean and comfortable condo that was so nice to come home to after shopping and adventuring Maui. Located close to excellent dining options or use the well equipped kitchen and watch the sunset from the lanai, you can’t go wrong either way. Particularly nice location on edge of grounds that lent itself to feeling more private. Just lovely all the way around.

This was a great property and met all our expectations. You can clearly see the ocean from the lanai and it was enjoyable sitting out there in the morning and evening enjoying the ocean and sunset. The ocean is only a couple minute walk away down the path. The unit was very clean, well stocked with whatever appliance you may need for the week. The complex is very clean and well maintained. Thank you

We stayed here for a week with four adults and one teen and another party we weee with stayed in an adjacent condo. It was the perfect size. Everything we needed was available. One of the best supplied rentals I’ve ever been in. Even the bed was comfortable which we always have a hard time with when we’re on vacation.
We love Wailea and the proximity to Ulua made it easy to come and go from the beach. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time at this condo property. It has all the amenities that you would want. The only thing I would say is that this unit is at the top of the complex up a hill. This might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Bed in master bedroom seems new but not about the beds in tgd second bedroom. We loved our stay!

This place made our stay on Maui memorable! Fantastic view from the balcony - you can even watch whales 🐳🐋 while sitting and enjoying your morning coffee!
Apartment is very luxurious and comfortable and has everything you need! The whole Elua is a nice place so you can enjoy the ocean and the pools! The ocean has great coral reef on the beach just in front so you can see turtles octopus and fishes🐢🐠🐙.
Just book it and enjoy!

This beautiful condo has a perfect location in Wailea — walking distance to beaches, pool, neighboring restaurants and shops. The view is spectacular— the whales put on quite a show! The unit is very well equipped and the owner was so easy to work with. We’ve been to Hawaii 18 times and this was our favorite stay in a condo. Highly, highly recommend!

This is a great property. You can hear the waves from the unit, and you can easily see the ocean from the lanai. Wailea Elua is located conveniently close to the Shops at Wailea, which includes several restaurants and a pub. Finally, the upstairs neighbors (Phil and Diane, who own their unit) are lovely.
For the manager of this property: 1) the lamp on the bedside table on the left side of the bed, looking toward the headboard needs replacing or rewiring; 2) the bulb on one of three ceiling recessed lights over the couch needs replacing; and 3) there needs to be more light over the round dining table (maybe a torchere or floor lamp on the left side of the bookcase on the outside wall). Overall, this is a fabulous condo.

Great location. Fabulous view from front lanai. Convenient for beach, golf, restaurants and shopping.
The unit was clean and well equipped, comfortable beds, great showers.
The owners are very responsive and the local reps very helpful.
The Elua property is well maintained and a very pretty setting.
Found good Uber service and take-out service from Manoli’s
We suggested upgraded bedding for second bedroom and Alisha advises that new comforters have been obtained.
There was a bit of a stuffy/musty smell that was stronger in the back bedroom and while the condo itself was clean, some of the glasses and plates needed to go in the dishwasher before being used.
Overall, we had a great vacation!

This unit is newly renovated, clean, so many amenities included, with a beautiful ocean view. This is our second time renting this unit and it won’t be the last. The owners have really paid attention to detail and we had everything we needed and then some. The rental company was very attentive to our needs during our stay. The location is easy walking distance to The Shops at Wailea and is directly in front of Ulua Beach and the scenic seaside path. We’ve been travelling to Maui every year for the last 18 years and this by far has been our favourite location. Thank you for exceeding our expectations! This truly is like our home away from home.

We've stayed in Wailea several times at hotels and this was our family's first time in a rental. We loved the location which was convenient to everything we have come to love about the area. We took advantage of the pickleball court, the grills and the cabanas above the beach. The unit we stayed in was at the top of the property so it was a little bit of a walk down to the beach but not in a bothersome way. Our kids used the gym but that was a bit tricky because there was very little equipment. The unit had a few quirks, I could make a few suggestions for improvement but we had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay very comfortably and a beautiful view to go with it! We would definitely return
