My family of four had a lovely stay in this spacious condo. The view is nice, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the de-humidifiers help a great deal with the dampness in the bedrooms downstairs. There is a market at the bottom of the hill and nice dining options nearby. This was a relatively central base of operations for all our island adventures!

most everything was good. the only issues we had were with the tv in the living room, it was very hard to turn on and tune to the stations we wanted. Had to call in for proper instructions many times. Also the lighting in the bathrooms over the sinks was very poor.

Awesome condo with spectacular ocean and sunset views! The two bedrooms, with separate bathrooms is great for families. Love walking out back door to an expansive grassy area. Beautiful relatively short walk down the hill to beaches, mega resorts, and the Wailea Shops. Highly recommend staying here.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location and views, with renovated kitchen. Rest of unit is very dated and needs upgrading. Unit including lanai was not very clean. Check-in was uneventful and during stay did not require assistance from property manager.

This unit checked all the boxes and was a comfortable stay…again. The proximity to the pool and furnishings are all pluses. I noticed that glassware and silverware were a bit more scarce than I remembered. We found ourselves using the dishwasher more frequently as a result. AC worked fine and we were comfortable when relaxing away from the sun and nearby beach. The unit has a big stock of chairs, beach toys, flippers, etc. that is all stored outside the 2nd bedroom. A no slip bath mat in the master bath cabinet made it easier for the kids while bathing. Internet worked great and the condo got great (Verizon) cell service. I’d be happy to rent this unit again.

We have stayed in 4 different condos on this trip to Maui. Most were 5star rated. Ekolu was by far the best. Great location, views, close to great restaurants. Wish all of the others had been that impressive. Quite roomy. Comfortable bed. Would stay again!

Great location with gorgeous high water ocean views! Perfect for sunsets on the lanai. The unit is well equipped and had everything we needed. Very convenient location. It is a 5 minute walk to a shopping center that has a great coffee spot and also an awesome tiki bar. Not much further of a walk to the Shops at Wailea. Short drive to the beautiful beaches of Wailea. Would highly recommend!

Lovely condo for the week! Close to beach and shops, beautiful view of the ocean. Communication with the manager was smooth and overall would return again!

April 2024

A perfect 10! From breakfast on the lanai after snorkeling to see plentiful fish and turtles at nearby beaches, to walks along the gorgeous seashore, to casual lunch on the lanai while watching the whales, to memorable sunset dinners on the lanai -- for us this was the perfect condo in an ideal location. The kitchen has everything our family chef needed, the beds are comfortable, the unit is clean and quiet, and the owners are attentive. Check-in was flawless and we found the condo to be perfect; when he hadn’t heard from me, Rich reached out to see if we had arrived and everything was ok – it was much more than ok, it was perfect for us! We definitely hope to return!

There was water in the refrigerator vegetable bins. A towel rack in the guest bathroom was coming off the wall. Coffee cups and knives were not clean. Front door screen did not close properly. The unit was very dark. The water filter did not work. The floor mat in the living room was unsightly and uncomfortable to walk on. There were too many plants that cluttered the unit. The lint filter was cracked and bent. The drape in the living room was missing a hook.

The Condo came equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a one-month stay !! The views were wonderful -nice space outside on the Lanai to enjoy them as well. Clean, well equipped -and everything worked as described.

This was our second time back to this property. It is just perfect for our family of 3 - great views, quiet and comfortable, nice pool and perfect location! Our daughter found the pullout bed very comfortable.

This condo is at the back of the condo complex and is very quiet and tranquil. Very close to one of the pools. We had 3 condos (building 5,12 and this one at 16) this trip and is the furthest from the beach. But we had a car so no issue for us and prefer the quiet location. This was the spot we all gathered at the most :). We loved having the island market so close by for last minute needs. Condo was clean and exactly as pictured. Decor is lovely. Responsive management company! Highly recommend.

This is our 4th time staying in the Ekolu units and this time did not disappoint. Connecting with the owner was easy and fast, check in was seamless, the property was clean when we arrived and everything was as the listing. We had our 5 month old baby with us, and the convenience of having a pack-and-play there for him to sleep in was wonderful! The kitchen was stocked with what we needed, there were enough beach towels, and the beach gear was available. There were no sand toys so we did purchase some for our 4 year old and left them behind for future guests to enjoy. Such a great location which is why we keep coming back!

We have stayed on this property five times and it never disappoints. The views are incredible and beautiful. We barely needed to get in our car as most restaurants and coffee shops are walking distance. The check in and check out process was extremely easy. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend it!!

Good location within 10-15 min walk to the beach. Close to stores, coffee shop and of course golf courses. Close proximity to pool. Great view of sunset each night and once we got used to the air conditioner the temp was great. One issue with one of the showers not draining well but that was a minor detail. Would stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the place it was well equipped in the kitchen, and very nicely furnished. It has a great view. But there a few things missing; no shower mats for the floor, no pool towels. And wash cloths were hung where there should have been hand towels. I went and bought shower mats as it was slippery to step out wet onto the tile floor. The property management never responded about a kaamaina rate or a later check out.

Fabulous panoramic view, comfortable accommodations, well appointed condo, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Beautiful Lanai setting & comfortable furnishings. Dave was very responsive throughout our planning & while we were in the condo. Sure hope we get to come back some day. This is a keeper condo/vacation. Mahalo!

Beautiful condo with incredible ocean view. Enjoyed coffee in the morning on the lanai with view of the whales. Condo had everything needed, like a little home away from home. Short distance to shops, restaurants and larger resorts.

If you are looking for a place that has close proximity to beaches, but is away from the fast paced vibe of South Kihei, this is the spot for you. Enjoyed our time and decompressed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay here. The views are better in person! The condo is perfectly equipped with everything you could need. They had all the beach supplies, minus boogie boards. But, Snorkel Bob's is a 3 minute walk. The location can't be beat. Great coffee shops and lunch spots in the shopping center right below the condo. Walk to Shops at Wailea took less than 10 minutes, beaches are 15 minutes walking. Only con is that is it noisy. You can hear the upstairs neighbors walking from all the rooms in the condo. There is road noise as it is near a busy street. However, we spent most of our time away from condo, so a minor inconvenience. We would definitely stay again!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a lovely condo in a beautiful complex with a partial ocean view. It’s very close to the pool, which is well maintained. The unit has most of the essentials. The bed is comfortable. Kitchen items are a bit of picked over mix. Beach chairs are available, but no umbrella. However, there are some significant plumbing issues that need to be fully looked in to. In our first week, the toilets and shower backed up. This happened to close by units as well. While potentially not the fault of the owner, there was NO number to call to report the issue which happened in the early evening. Ultimately it was the guests in the other unit that were able to resolve the issue. On our last night of our 3 week stay, the kitchen sink backed up. For the above reasons, we would not stay at this unit again.

Very quiet. Mostly elderly. Pool was a bit of a walk. Beautiful view of Grand Wailea hotel. Nice whale watching. Nice condo. Best for 2 couples as bathrooms are off bedrooms. Rooms are kind of small but lanai is large. Great place. Close to everything. Not really walking distance to the beach unless you’re in great shape.

A gem of hospitality and convenience! From the moment we arrived, Laurie's attentiveness made our stay exceptional.

This is the second rental we have experienced in the village in the past five years. This rental compares to our first rental pales. Let me explain. First, the photos posted in the rental materials must fully disclose the views of the lanai. It's crucial that potential renters can accurately envision the view they will be enjoying. To observe the views posted, one has to be in the far corner of the lanai looking to the west or physically in the yard area in front of the lanai. We were disappointed, as the photo on the site did not show the direct landscape from the lanai to the ocean. Second, the air conditioner in the living area was loud and ineffective. I contacted the management company immediately to express our dissatisfaction. They indicated they would contact the owners regarding the issue to determine the next steps. We were never informed of the decision, and we put up with the situation for our entire 21-day stay. The morning we checked out, we crossed paths with an employee who indicated the air conditioner would be replaced before the next renters checked in that evening. That is NOT good service. Third, ants and giant roaches were also present in the condo. While the rental company provided Ant & Roach Spray, the whole unit must be professionally sprayed inside and out. Fourth, a deep clean of the condo behind the furniture and furnishings must occur. As we moved indoor and outdoor furniture to best meet our needs, we observed that the corners

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wailea Ekolu 308 is clean, spacious and comfortable. It is ideal for watching the Maui sunset every night! The condo is stocked with all of your basic needs. It is a little economic and tired compared to other Ekolu and Ekahi units we have stayed in, and it lacks extras like a boogie board. The view is gorgeous but the price is a little high compared to other similar units. Still a wonderful week stay!

The main screens on each side of the front door need to be repaired or replaced with the proper sizes. The faucet at the kitchen sink does not fit the plumbing connection and should be replaced with proper quality faucet fittings.
