What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

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.

Wailea Ekolu consistently wins guests over with its setting: sweeping ocean-and-golf-course views, spectacular sunsets, and winter whale watching right from spacious lanais. The vibe is quiet and tropical across beautifully landscaped grounds with two low-key pools, yet you’re close to it all—Akamai Coffee, Monkeypod, the Shops at Wailea, tennis and golf. Beaches are an easy 5–10 minute drive or roughly a 15–20 minute walk downhill (expect an uphill return), making this a tranquil, good-value alternative to the beachfront resorts.

Condos are generally roomy and well outfitted for families and longer stays: full kitchens (many updated), in‑unit washer/dryers, multiple bathrooms, and comfortable bedding. Many units stock beach gear—chairs, umbrellas, coolers and towels—and guests frequently praise cleanliness, tasteful decor, and thoughtful touches. Hosts and managers are widely noted as responsive when small issues pop up, and BBQ areas and the quiet pools are convenient. Most days start with coffee on the lanai and end with sunset views.

Common trade-offs: this isn’t beachfront, and some find the walk back from the shore hilly, so many guests drive and report easy beach parking. Noise varies by location—occasional road, delivery, or landscaping noise in some buildings, and footfall if you’re below another unit—though nights are typically peaceful. Several condos use wall/split A/C that can be loud or lag during late‑day heat, and supplies/toiletries are often “starter only.” Because units are individually owned, outfitting and updates differ, and a few guests mention minor maintenance, deep‑cleaning needs, or tropical ants; management is generally quick to respond. If those nuances suit your travel style, Wailea Ekolu delivers relaxed, view‑filled Wailea living at a fraction of resort rates.

This condo is wonderful! Gorgeous water views, amazing sunsets, and Molokini in the distance. Complimentary whale watching during season! Lovely grounds and one of the pools close by. Great restaurants within walking distance and the Shops at Wailea just down the hill. The unit is stocked with everything needed for a relaxing and easy stay. You will not be disappointed! My go-to unit for annual visits. Thank you for another beautiful stay.

The wailea village in walking distance from the condo was a plus! Great restaurants, shops, etc.

This place was absolutely amazing! It had everything we needed to make our experience perfect. The split air conditioning helped regulating temperatures in various rooms based on individual preferences. The fact that it was within walking distance from the grocery store and many restaurants was super helpful! We drove less than five minutes to three superb beaches (Wailea, Pobo, and Paulea) and we had no issues finding public parking there. We swam with the turtles at Paulea Beach (our new favorite). The host was very attentive and accommodating and easily available for any questions. She allowed us a late check out for which we were so grateful since we travelled with my elder parents and our plane was a bit later in the day. I definitely recommend this place and plan to come back in the future! Diana C.

The house was amazing. The pictures were exactly what we arrived to. We had everything we needed. Enough beds, ample linens, a great washer/dryer, a huge living, kitchen, and dining space. There were only 4 of us, so there was more than enough room for us all. The view from the balcony was amazing. We sat out there every night and just talked and enjoyed ourselves because the weather was great all week. Would definitely stay there again if it works out in the future!

The view was exactly as published. Gorgeous view of golf course and ocean. The towels were better than a 5 Star resort. Very convenient to get to golf and shops. We will not hesitate to stay here again. Great value.

Place was nice for our trip. Decently clean. Location was ok. We had several issues upon our stay being the ac in one room did not work and it was 80 and sticky while sleeping. I contacted the management who said twice they fixed it but had to keep reaching out because it was not. The WiFi didn’t work our whole trip. Reached out about that on noght one. Nothing. Not to mention I was on this trip for my 30th birthday and since I booked it, I was the one who had to keep having this annoying communication about fixing things that weren’t being fixed. Definitely ruined my trip a little bit.

This condo is a dream! When I tell you the owners have thought about every single detail I mean it. Even the towels in the bathrooms were plush and lovely. You cannot beat the location as well as the rate. Stop looking, you won’t find any better!!

Great location with a lovely view and a tranquil community. Walkable distance to a few restaurants, coffee shops, and The Shops at Wailea, including the Island Gourmet Market, which was great for a quick meal.The unit was well-stocked with everything we needed, including an umbrella, beach chairs, and beach towels. The unit was mostly clean, except for a few things. The kitchen cabinets were sticky and had a musky odor, despite the kitchen itself having new and clean appliances. We also kept finding little worms all over the floor, even though we kept the doors closed at all times. We found a cockroach inside the master bathroom.

The unit was very clean, warm, and inviting. It had all the needs for our stay - kitchen with all the necessary utensils, comfortable bedding and pillows, all the beach items one would need (towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, coolers, etc). It was close to the beach (by car) and shops/dining (by foot or car). We appreciated the panoramic view daily during meals and relaxation on the lanai.We were very pleased with our stay. Hope to come back for another stay.

This unit at Wailea Ekolu is absolutely gorgeous with incredible views of the ocean and islands off of Maui. The grounds of Wailea Ekolu are so beautiful. We especially loved seeing the plumeria trees right below the unit. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again someday. We did have a couple issues, but Beth was wonderful to work with and helped us work through them. We greatly appreciated her help.

Fantastic stay at the beautiful Wailea Ekolu! The view from this condo is even better than the pictures! Everything was perfect: kind hosts, very clean, well stocked, beach chairs and umbrellas, and a very quiet atmosphere to relax. We will be back for sure!

Great condo.This is our 6th stay in the Ekolu condo complex. WE love the Waimea area better than Kapalua, Naplii, Kaanapali or Kihei. It is less crowded and it has the best beaches. This was the best unit we have stayed in so far. We also own a vacation rental home in Sea Ranch, CA so we have a good idea of what the little things are than make a vacation rental have something extra. This condo checks all of the boxes and then the owners obviously go the extra mile to allow for the best possible experience. We learned things from this condo we will used to improve the vacation rental that we own. First: the view. When the VRBO listing say 180 degree views they mean it. Fantastic views (Molokini is front and center) and sunsets. The kitchen is well-stocked with quality, matching dishware and cookware, essential appliances, tools, coffee maker (and grinder) plus thoughtful amenities such as matching coasters and serving platters along little extras like multiple sizes of ziplock bags, Tupperware storage and complimentary containers of regular AND decaf coffees.Overall the decor is well thought out, very clean and nothing shows wear and tear. There is solid beach equipment and coolers.Overall we give this condo 5 stars!!

Fantastic view. A short walk to market and beach. Comfortable bed. AC great. Central to our favorite restaurants Ferraros, Oao, MisoPhat and KOISO!!! Akamai coffee just below open at 0600! There are easy 3-5 mile walks at the shore. Maui at its best.

Wailea and all the condo complexes there are great. At Ekolu, the units typically have panoramic ocean views and you can watch sunsets. Beach is drivable in a few minutes. The property managers were not very friendly and contacted me after the stay for unusual reasons. Just be careful when communicating with them. The unit has everything you need, kitchen, bathrooms, patio, TVs, streaming. It’s downstairs and other renters are upstairs. Overall the best part is the amazing views and sunsets. It was very relaxing. Thank you!!!

This is a wonderful property. My Dad and his law partner had a condo in Ekolu, in the 1980's, just another street over from this condo. I've geen going to Wailea since 1983. I know this area very well. This condo is perfectly situated for an easy in and out, phenomenal ocean views and has all of the amenities you need or want - all at a fair price! And, it is a photographer's dream position for great sunset shots. Steve is an excellent host. I highly recommend this place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view out from the balcony is exactly what you want from a Hawaii vacation. The rental is comfortable. Has the basics you need. Bring your own shampoo and stuff though. One bedroom has a better showerhead than the other.

Fantastic location by Monkeypod, Wailea shops, and Beaches. Used the grill to cook bacon in morning. Check in was slightly confusing, had to call property management line to find the right unit....so its Building 16 you have to drive to for the lot.

Perfect condo for a family. The Wailea neighborhood was beautiful. The ocean view from the lanai was incredible. Everything was as stated, and the owner was easy to communicate with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Carpet and couch can use a cleaning, I feel there is a need for a light source in the dining area, and the bed is a bit too big for the room making it difficult to move around and it is too low to the ground , making it difficult to get up off the bed. I also like my WiFi to be up all the time, I had problems with it especially in the early mornings when I’m up and checking emails.Overall it was okay, nothing too bad and definitely not the five star review that I read.

Booked a condo with nice/c, great balcony view, was supposed to be non-smoking. It was definitely not! Coldwell banker property folks tried to move us, after several calls and the next day, to units with crappy a/C's. They finally gave us a unit with better a/c, but no view next to toad and old and dated! I get that things happen, but that was just false advertising, no way they should have ever called that non-smoking!! Oh well, never again Coldwell Bankers!

I was telling the host that we've stayed in at least a dozen vrbo properties over the last 15 years and this one was my favorite. Sure, the setting of Maui doest hurt! But there are many more reasons!The property is well maintained, clean and spacious and I like having the upstairs and downstairs corner unit. It feels more secluded.The kitchen was perfectly stocked with proper supplies, there was never a wish that they had this or that. Its all there.Same for the bathrooms and showers.The property grounds are beautifully maintained -not just this property, but throughout.There are also shops and restaurants just a 5 minute (or less) walk from the property, with ample and inviting walkways. My boys picked up a pork and pineapple pizza from Manolis our final night and it did not disappoint!Also if you walk a bit farther theres another shopping "mall" with plenty more restaurants and shops and Lapperts, which has stellar ice cream.But best of all for me, as I'm a very early riser, was the still of 5am after brewing my coffee-sitting in the hush of the morning while the moon and stars were still out on the upper lanai. I'll never forget it. Many adventures made this the perfect trip, but for me, the morning lanai was most memorable. That said, early evening through sunset is also so lovely.Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Condo was in a great location. Had an odd encounter with the woman who was supposed to inspect the property. We arrived 30 minutes early and were reprimanded by this woman in an accusatory and very unprofessional manor. Was not an ideal interaction to have on vacation. 2nd bedroom bed was so hard and uncomfortable. Beach chairs and coolers were broken or unusable. Well equipped kitchen but no extras at all. No washing detergent for laundry, salt/pepper…but there were leftover potato chips in a cupboard. Wouldn’t recommend or stay again. Very expensive in comparison to other u it’s we stayed at in kapalua.

This unit was perfect for our family. Great layout with the bedrooms downstairs and kitchen, living room, dining room, and deck upstairs. The two queen beds in the second bedroom worked great for our two teenagers. David has everything you could want for the beach. The outdoor shower and patio area were very handy for coming in from the beach and washing off gear and sand. Speaking of beaches, there are so many fantastic beaches nearby. And there are restaurants minutes from the unit in every direction. We enjoyed the views and everything about our stay, and look forward to returning soon. David is a fantastic host, and our communication with him was very easy.
