This is a great property at a beautiful, oceanfront location in Mākena. A short swim to turtle bay where we saw turtles while snorkeling. We saw whales from the balcony. We look forward to returning in the future.
The property setting is perfect - right on the beach, magnificent sunsets, adjacent to plentiful amenities - we had an amazing stay. The unit is in excellent condition, we hope to return again!
This was our second year staying here and it was as great as the first. Beautifully appointed condominium on an impeachable beach. Great stay; no downside.
We love Maui and Makena Surf! Great stay!
My family loved this location in Maui-we enjoyed the close proximity to both the beach and pool, as well as spending time out on the balcony. I did not realize when I’d booked that the rocky area to the left of the beach (you’ll need to snorkel along that rocky area out to the middle between the two beach areas) that this was Turtle Town (or something similar)!! The rafting snorkel tours would stop in daily to give their snorkelers a good view of the turtles because there is a natural cleaning station there- a special kind of fish who clean the turtles’ shells. My family loves snorkeling and had brought our own gear and it was great to be able to snorkel there whenever we wanted. The condo was great and just as described.
Wow! The location was amazing. You are close to shopping and restaurants but the location was quiet and serene. Easy drive to almost all locations and activities. The best part was only being steps away from swimming with turtles every morning! I was a bit nervous booking a big trip for the first time with Vrbo. However, our host was extremely easy to email and responded usually in just a few minutes. I would not hesitate to return to this condo in the future

This was an absolutely beautiful home and location. The proximity to such a great beach for snorkeling and playing in the ocean was a huge upside. The owners and on-island manager Christine were fantastic. We forgot a backpack in the unit after checkout and Christine saved us from missing our flight which was tremendously appreciated.
The only thing not incredible is the beds are some of the firmest any of us ever felt in our lives, so we ended up putting a 3” foam pad from Costco on top after the first night which totally saved it.
I’m already looking forward to coming back!
This condo is amazing. It is in a great location and the beach is wonderful. Never crowded, great snorkeling, and we saw turtles everyday we went swimming. It is close enough to Kihei to shop, eat, and explore other beaches. The sunset view from the lanai cannot be beat. The hosts had the condo well stocked with everything you could need, including beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and beach towels. They responded quickly to any questions we had and checkin/checkout was a breeze. Paradise!
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.
The unit is on the second floor of a three-story building with beautiful views of the beach and ocean. Sunsets were magic! The beach is lovely and easy to navigate be it snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, or boogie boarding.
The bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner, soap, and nice towels. The kitchen is also easy to navigate with pretty much everything you might need. There is also plenty of beach gear.
Due to flight cancellations and delays, we arrived very late and had trouble getting into the condo but were able to reach the property manager and get it resolved quickly. All our communication was easy and helpful which we appreciated.
We did have quite a bit of construction going on during our stay but we were informed ahead of time and did our best to work around it.
We would stay here again
