Beachfront Bliss: Makena Surf Resort B304 - Lovely Ocean Views & Lush Landscapes

Great property and condo. Will stay here again!

Loved my vacation had some issues with the toilet and the dishwasher . The toilet got fixed the next day after we arrived. The dishwasher was not useable while we were there. Other wise it was perfect. Planning on going back.

Beautiful condo with an amazing view of the ocean, and peaceful sound of waves through the open lanai.

Property used to be top notch but it is very dated and very used. The bedrooms are dark, the furniture is nice but old and worn. The kitchen is well laid out but there is NO cabinets for food. Everything is filled with utensils. Toaster is scary and only 2 slices. There were spider nests on the balcony plus NO UMBRELLAS! So by noon the whole balcony is unusable unless you like getting baked in the sun. You are on the 3rd floor so you have to walk up all those steps. Great exercise but could be challenging for some. We are locals and this was a stay-action. For the money, go elsewhere as there are many properties in better shape with better facilities. Total waste of money.

We love watching the whales, the beach goers and the snorkelers. The horse is well equipped and clean. The beds are petty comfortable. Great well!

This was our second stay at Makena Surf. We enjoy the property and plan to stay here again in the future. However, we would not choose this particular unit again. The kitchen was difficult to work in. Appliances outdated and some not working. Not well stocked and knives in poor condition. Compared to our stay before this unit was underwhelming. We had to call for beach chairs as there were only 2 and the master bath was not clean enough. The other bathroom had no place to put toiletries so we had to keep them in the nightstands. Outdoor chairs and dining table in poor condition. Asked for more beach towels, since there was only one per person, and were told to wash them ourselves. This all sounds picky but it was a distraction dealing with the issues. For the money we expected more. That being said, the property is amazing and we plan on renting a different unit on our return.

Makena surf is a wonderful place to stay and B building is outstanding! We were here during whale watching season and spent lots of time outside gazing at the ocean. Bring your binoculars! (There’s a pair here as well, but you’ll have to share 😜) The apartment is smallish, but has everything you’ll need. The staff of Ali’i is responsive and thorough. We had a small hornet nest outside the door and called to let them know. It was sprayed and cleared away before we got home from dinner. There are salt pepper and some spices available and coffee fixings for that first morning. The beds were fairly comfortable and daily towel service was a treat. The pool and hot tub are close and very well kept. Snorkeling out front was some of the best we found! Cuatro was an amazing dinner, ate there twice! Star Noodle was fabulous as well.

Very nice 2 bedroom unit right on the beach with spectacular sunsets,

Great stay

We very much enjoyed our stay in Makena Surf unit B-304 a few weeks ago. We've stayed at Makena Surf condos close to a dozen times over the past 20 years and this stay did not disappoint. Unit B-304 is beautifully furnished and the fine woodwork really is over the top! Things we loved about this unit: Dimmers for practically every light, Beautiful wood trim, granite counter tops, lots of bathroom storage, very tasteful furniture and art. Close to the parking but far enough to not hear traffic, being top-floor so nobody making noise above and no worries about security - you can leave the doors to the Lanai open and enjoy the deliciously clean air that the tradewinds bring in off the water. Things we did not like: this time - unlike past visits to the complex, there were numerous screaming kids at the pool each day and some evenings -the north pool is just out back of unit B-304 and on the beach in front there were more screaming kids though not as bad as the pool so we just shut the front door when it got bad. There was even a baseball game one afternoon/evening right on the sand in front of the Lanai and it definitely was not as relaxing as it could have been without that going on. The cookware in the unit is relatively cheap light weight non-stick kind you might find in certainly other than a chef's kitchen as are the knives. The choice of carpet color looks great in the photos when it was brand new- but being nearly white - in a rental unit may not have been wise - there are numerous stains to the carpeting throughout the condo. The cooktop is an extremely high tech Dacor unit and the controls are absolutely non-intuitive. Its an electric cooktop with a single glass surface and the painted on controls are virtually worn off from use and cleaning. You will need to get out your flashlight to read the controls. We actually had to call the resort management to figure out how to get it out of "safe mode" when it locked up and would not accept commands. There is an all night bright light which is in the common area walkway just outside of the unit which you cannot control and it partially shines into the master bedroom even with the blind turned completely down. A full blackout blind would remedy this problem. I'm only taking off one star for the negative items because it really is a beautiful unit and overall we did enjoy our stay just a few things that could have been better!
