Loved this location, the accommodations and the view was exactly what we had been looking for.

After a long day of travel and a trip to Costco- we walked into the condo and our jaws dropped. Of course we had seen the pictures, but the real thing is so much better. The view is stunning, and the proximity to two beaches (and all the equipment available!) was the best! We had so much fun, the snorkeling is unbelievable and the condo itself is perfect. We had a family of 6 adults and we had plenty of space to hang out. We were so incredibly sad when the time came to leave. We highly recommend this property!

Location, location, location! We had an amazing week in Maui! It all started and ended with the fabulous accommodations of the C107 luxury condo. And luxurious it is! If you want to stay in the incredible Wailea area, this is the place to be!
Check in was a breeze. Our hosts were so easy to reach and very helpful. The condo is so roomy, expertly decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was stocked. Sunset views from the lanai each night, and an easy stroll to the amazing beach. We will definitely be back!

This condo is a beautifully-appointed and decorated 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit with a fantastic view of a very nice semi-private beach in the Makena/Wailea area. The unit was probably better equipped and stocked than any rental unit we have ever stayed in. Multiple coffee makers, a wine fridge, beach cooler and an activity box full of beach and sports equipment were just a sample of the may amenities available and at the ready. There was a fairly private shared pool and hot tub right behind the building, as well as 2 tennis courts. The location of the complex was very convenient to the Wailea area restaurants and also to the Kihei town shopping and restaurants. Peter, our host, was very friendly and accommodating and was easy to contact via text. He provided a guide notebook in the unit with information and critiques of the area activities, restaurants and hotspots. Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful place to stay and enjoy our week in paradise! We hope to come again soon!

We love this unit! The location is perfect and its close to shops, restaurants, and activities! The beds are comfortable and we especially appreciate the ample supply of soaps in the showers. It saves on us needing to bring so many toiletries. The kitchen is fully stocked and the unit is very comfortable. We love the pool. Its crystal clean and so nice. The only issue is that the screen door needs a new track and new wheels. It was very difficult to open and shut during our week's stay. Other than that, we love Makena Surf!

Stayed here with my husband, 20 month old son, and extended family and had a blast. We all agreed that the view from this rental is the best you can get on the whole island. The pool is only a couple minutes walk away and the beach only a few more than that. The necessities are provided and the mid week house cleaning was nice to freshen up our towels. Check in and check out were super easy too. If you have an infant or toddler I recommend renting a high chair and beach wagon.

This was our second stay at Makena Surf, and our first stay at this unit. It was wonderful - nicely renovated, wonderfully appointed kitchen and the unparalleled views from the third floor of an ocean-front building at this complex. We will be back!

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.

Makena Surf is our favorite property and Manish and Superna have a beautiful 2 BR unit. They are accommodating and provide great tips for things to do on the island. Their unit is our first choice for a 2BR.

Aloha,
We've been traveling to Maui for over 40 years. This is one of our favorite places to stay ever! Glorious ocean views, lovely beach access and so peaceful! Our first sunset there was a mama and calf cavorting just offshore and then we think they headed north because no more sightings. It was late April.
The lanai is fabulous, the sunset views perfect! The little beach below had a perfect sandy entry.
The only drawbacks were the linens. I am sensitive to fragrances and the linens were heavily scented due to detergent with fragrance and/or fabric softener. I had to rewash everything twice in hot water to break down the heavy fragrance and gummy feel. Sheets not 100% cotton and the pillows are just chunky foam.
The seating for watching a movie is not great, which we only wanted to do once.
I think next time I will bring a separate suitcase with my pillow and linens :) :)
Loved the location and property. We walked south to near Makena, north to Andaz and up the hill. Enjoyed having meals at the condo with our perfect view!

This condo is fabulous with everything you need for a perfect stay on Po'olenalena Beach. It is a 60 second walk from the front door to the sand. Views from the huge wrap around lanai are superb. Kitchen is well equipped. Beds are comfy. Showers are fantastic. The host is responsive and helpful. Highly recommend the poke at Tamura's Liquor Stroke (yeah, I know, trust me), shaved ice at Ululani's, Tin Roof, and dinner at Nick's Fishmarket, Be warned that prices in Maui are much higher than the used to be, but that is no one's fault. After several stays in Maui we finally did the road to Hana for the first (and last) time.
Overall, highly recommend Makena Surf C-201 for a perfect beach holiday in Maui.

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

Makena Surf was wonderful for our family. The location could not be better. The unit is beautiful…comfy beds, great decor and all the kitchen things you could possibly need. The lanai is like an extension of the home and a great place to have dinner and watch sunsets every evening. We even had a pod of whales entertain us! We have stayed at Makena many times over the years but this is our favorite unit by far!! We will be back!!

I have stayed at multiple locations throughout Maui and this is by far the best place I have stayed yet. Maria was great to work with and accomodated our every question. She is the best host we have worked with - ever!
The view from the condo is second to none. Molokini crater is so close! The sunsets were beautiful.
The condo is well stocked with everything you need to compliment your stay. The condo is very clean and the furniture is comfortable. You can open the entire sliding doors adjacent to the living room and let the trade winds fill the air or if you get too warm, you can close them and utilize the AC.
The bed was very comfortable. My wife and I agreed the bed is more comfortable than the bed we currently sleep on.
We mostly hung out and walked to the (uncrowded) beach below to swim and snorkel. Turtle Town is directly below the condo and I counted 7 turtles on one of my many snorkel excursions.
We ate out for dinner every night and did not eat at the same place twice. Lots of restaurants within 10 minutes to choose from.
Lots of room for parking and it is nice the property is gated. We felt safe the whole time we were there.
I can't say enough about the greatness of this property, Maria, and her band of managers. It is truly a gem and we can't wait to return.

My husband and I stayed for 10 nights, and friends joined us for a few evenings of the trip as well. The property is exactly as listed and pictures give accurate depiction of what one is to expect. 4 adults did not feel cramped in this condo. Ample space to spread out to both work and relax.
As frequent travelers, there are three aspects of a property I expect. Cleanliness, bed comfort, and safety. This property boasted all three and more. The sunset view from the lanai was beautiful, even spotted whales one evening of our stay. The beach was steps from the property and was relaxing, clean, and private.
For an extended stay such as our own, the kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals. The laundry in unit is a great amenity, and the comfortable bed was greatly welcomed.
I would recommend a vehicle for anyone visiting. It is located near all of the major Fine Hotels; an easy, 5 minute door-door, drive to fabulous restaurants and Lounges. Although close to resorts, you are not in the hustle and bustle of the tourists to hear or notice commotion. We do highly suggest making dinner reservations in the area.
The town of Kihei, 15 minutes north of the property was a quaint, beach front community, slightly reminiscent of family vacations in the 80s. Fun and entertaining for families or anyone for that matter.
In all we were quite happy and would recommend this property to friends and family. We do plan to return again.

Second time staying at this condo. The location is prime! We saw several whales from our lanai even this late in the season. We spotted spinner dolphins as well which was fantastic. Fortunately my husband brought binoculars to really zoom in on the whales in the distance. We really enjoy this particular condo due to its proximity to the beach and the pool. It is nicely appointed inside as well. No BBQ on lanai like last year. There are some available at the pool though. Construction was sill happening at the pool near condo B on a rock wall they were installing. I assumed they were finished since the project started last year. So that was noisy when at the pool. Looks like they will be done soon. There is another pool to use but I just like the proximity to our unit. We had everything we needed and made ourselves at home in this beautiful condo. The only disappointment was having to leave to go home.

Been to Makena Surf numerous times over the past 25 years. B-204 has tremendous view, clean, comfortable, great location next to beach, 2nd pool with barbecues, tennis courts. Only negative comment is a few sundries should be included (e.g., soap, small bottles of body wash/shampoo/conditioner).

We have come to Maui many times, but this is our first time staying in Wailea. The property was updated, clean & comfortable. The beach was right out front and a refreshing pool right behind. It is suitable for 4 people. One note would be the 3 flights of stairs to some who may have challenges with that. Also, there were 4 remotes to work the main tv. Thats a bit overwhelming! Once we got the hang of all the entry & gate codes, we were set. Close enough to walk to some of the larger resorts and restaurants in the area. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your lovely property!

This is a beautiful condo, with a breathtaking view! A whale show greeted us out our lanai as we arrived, and we had a couple of other shows - with full breaching like I've never seen before!
Both beaches are great - good for all ages - 7 to 77 in our case. And there are several other beaches very near by if you like variety.
There weren't any sand toys or games or books for smaller kids, so bring your own or pick some up there. But there were books and other games for teens and adults, beach chairs, sun umbrella, plenty of towels, etc. making everything easy.
The condo itself is very comfortable, and really gorgeous!
We hope to come back soon!

Just wrapped up 7 nights in the amazing condo. We were an extended family of 6 visiting from Melbourne, Australia and Manhattan, NY. Age range 3-72 and this was the perfect layout/amenity/location for our family. We started our vacation off at a full amenity resort with water slides etc and the kids (ages 3 and 6) preferred this condo.
The condo's decor and condition is pristine and includes everything you may need. The views and two lanais by far the highlight. We traveled all over the island and were always happy to come "home" to Makena. No sight was more than 1.5hr drive away and many were closer. The complex was very quiet at night.
The kitchen is fully stocked in regards to plates and cooking supplies; my advice is to arrange grocery delivery through Safeway or Instacart before check in if possible, we arrived late and there is no easy local grab and go food.
We didn't need to message the manager during the entire stay, only hiccup was being confused at check in on how to get by the gated entrance but was solved quickly by calling security; once you check in there are gate cards to keep in your vehicle.
This was our 4th weekly VRBO Hawaiian rental since 2018 and was the best. You will not be disappointed.

This property is gorgeous and located in an easy to reach spot. Beaches were great and the snorkeling is maybe the best spot in south Maui, right outside the property. Saw many whales from the lanai every day, we were there in March 2024. Owner and property manager had good communication. Would go back.

I have always pictured “the perfect Hawaiian vacation” in my mind. The place we were in was amazing. I have been to the big resorts, and many places in the world. I have never stayed somewhere with a view like this. The condo was clean, beautifully decorated, and literally finished with “two” of everything you might need. Two sets of dishes, silverware…extra boogie boards! This was the definition of stress free paradise. Also the whales constantly played off the lanai. I could go on for pages. If you are lucky enough to stay here…do it! Just don’t book the next two weeks that I want, ha ha

There were good communications with the owner in regards to some unforeseen issues and I would definitely recommend this condo.

Everything was incredibly convenient, the place was immaculate, and I loved the spacious master bedroom that took up the entire second floor. I would definitely stay here again.

Total relaxation immersion the moment you step into Susan’s Makena Surf Condo. The expansive lanai direct ocean view is breathtaking as we enjoyed sipping a tropical drink watching humpback whales and spectacular sunsets. The interior design that Susan chose places you immediately into vacation bliss. The kitchen is extremely well-appointed with everything you may need and high end appliances. The Makena Surf grounds are amazing as if you are visiting a botanical garden. The incredible non-crowded sandy beach has easy walk-in ocean access and is just a short walk away. There is ample parking. Just a few minutes away by car are so many fabulous restaurants in Wailea and Kihei including Spago by Wolfgang Puck, Morimotos or the more casual Monkey Pod to name just a few. Finally Susan is the BEST communicator ever for any questions about our stay. We had a 5 star vacation thanks to this 5 star condo. We have already booked again. Mahalo.

Property was immaculate. One of the few properties we have stayed at that claim to be fully stocked and really are. The bar, the kitchen, beach amenities. Apartment was spic and span, super comfortable and well appointed. The property itself is right on the beach, with hot tubs, pools and tennis courts. Apartment has beach chairs, umbrellas, tons of tennis and snorkeling gear, kids games and books, coolers, ice packs, etc.
Super easy to communicate with Peter, our host, but didn’t really have any issues that came up!

We had four adults and worked well. Fantastic beach right in front - easy access. Great swimming and snorkeling right there. Beautiful property, great location with many Wialea restaurants and golf close by. Makena fabulous. Owner communicated and helped with everything. Can’t say enough great things about this property. To us this condo was way better than even the high end resorts in the area. Just closeness to the ocean, view, access to beach and expierience.

Beautiful and well maintained, felt very secure. Views from our lanai spectacular with lots of water activity, Whale activity, kayaking, catamarans , snorkeling and a small public beach that is very private.
For golfers know there are three world class golf courses across from complex. They offer a “Sea Horse Swing Pass” for three day’s unlimited golf.

The Unit. Very spacious. Living and Dining areas were large, especially for a condo. Third floor high ceilings added to the spacious feel. The unit was located just perfectly on the corner of the building. Great views to the South and West. Sunsets and whales every day. Great beach access to two beaches (one nice sandy beach, one rocky). Both pretty secluded.
The Development. The best for sure. Very close to the shopping/restaurants of Wailea, but away from all the crowds. And the snorkeling is great here, right off the beach area. And a number of snorkeling areas very close as well.
The owner. Very accommodating and great communication, before and during our stay.
Overall. I can not think of a better place to stay in Maui. Close to everything but private. Will be back !!

The location of this condo is as good as you can get in Maui. We usually stay at the Fairmont but the beach here is much better and quieter.

The views from the patio are as close to the beach as you can get with remarkable sunsets. I wish I was still there!
