About the resort:
Ekahi Village is a very popular, sought after vacation resort at the entrance to Wailea. It is famous for it’s beautiful grounds and gardens, quiet elegance and it’s excellent beachfront location. You experience the luxury and location of the grand hotels of Wailea without all the extra costs, crowds and add on charges.

The resort property spans 35 acres with 54 - 2 story buildings housing 295 privately owned condo suites. There are 4 pools including a large beachfront main pool with lounging areas, shaded areas and a covered guest pavilion. The covered Pavilion is brand new (Feb 2020) and includes an exercise room and group event facilities.
The resort has private gated access to and from poolside and the world renowned Keawakapu Beach.
You can enjoy great snorkelling and all the fun beach activities just a few steps away. You can also explore the incredible beachfront walks and scenery in either direction. A very cool thing to do is the Wailea waterfront beach walk along the beachfront resort pathway / beach stroll, (walking or jogging) heading south for over a mile of sandy beaches, 5 star resorts cozy coves, dormant volcanic flow features and spectacular ocean views. Heading north from the beach gate is a wonderful 1 kilometre long sandy beach ending at the Manakai hotel resort and the 5 Palms restaurant / bar. (our favorite)
On site there are 3 other quiet pools with private lounging decks. The quiet pools are normally for adults and are located throughout the resort. The lower village quiet pool is just a 1 minute easy walk from our suite.
Note - The main beachside pool pavilion has been completely re built in 2019. All new furnishings and modern decor, barbeques and great atmosphere to enjoy at poolside.
Shopping and dining nearby
Within comfortable walking distance from the resort are the elegant "Shops at Wailea" and a selection of fine dining and casual restaurants and bars. Ekahi is just a short drive from the Pilani Hwy and from the many shops, activity centres, beaches and restaurants of South Kihei.
The two Wailea golf courses are just above the resort and it is a ten to fifteen minute drive to Makena - Big beach and the spectacular dormant lava flow fields and snorkelling at Turtle Bay.
The Ekahi resort spreads up and out from the main pool area in benches developed in 3 phases.
The lower village units are the most popular as they provide quick and easy walking access to the beach and the main guest pool area. The upper and mid village units have steeper slopes and longer walks.
The units to the north (including our unit) can have a some road noise at times when the lanai doors and windows are open. However Maui shuts down around 9:00 pm and when the sliding lanai doors are closed there is very little noise.

This condo is lovely. Very nicely designed and well stocked with everything you need from kitchen items to water play, snorkelling gear and so much more. Bed and bedding is cozy and the location is second to none with easy short walks to the pool and the beach. I could go on and on. No hesitation to return soon!

This unit is a great place away from home. It is very well stocked with everything a visitor to Maui will need. We appreciated the lovely Hawaiian decor, especially the incredible views. We will look forward to returning here in the future.

This was our first time visiting Maui. I was so pleased with our place. It was very clean, beautiful setting and had all the amenities you could think of. I would highly recommend staying here. We hope to come back some day and will without a doubt stay here again. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire process of renting from them. It made our Maui trip even more amazing.

We really liked this condo and resort. The condo was so spacious and clean. The Kitchen was extremely well stocked and Appliances were great. The master bed was very comfortable, we didn’t use the pullouts as there was only 2 of us.
The lanai was fantastic, tons of space and very private. There is some traffic noise but after the first day we didn’t notice it much.
The beach was great and the pools ( we used 2) were wonderful. Lots of equipment supplied for beach activities.
The grounds are landscaped with many different shrubs and flowers. So beautiful to stroll in.
We would stay here again.

We love Maui and have stayed in several different condos in Ekahi Village. This is by far and away the best combination of location, quality of housing and stocking of needed items...
Location - Easy walk to the beach, more important easy walk back...not scaling the mountain home every day. Sunset view is spectacular.
Condo - Really nice, very well taken care of, with instructions for anything you might have a question about.
Supplies - Both cooking and entertainment...tons of beach gear, tons of spices. Kitchen has every pot/pan you might need...and some of the knives are actually sharp (not that common in short term rentals).
Jim is great to deal with and very accommodating. We will absolutely return to this exact location for more of the greatest spot on earth to spend your day doing nothing at all.

Jim was an excellent host and his condo was great for us! The ocean view is much better than the pictures show, too. We really enjoyed our stay here and the proximity to the beach, resorts, restaurants, etc. We also very much appreciated all of the beach supplies - chairs, towels, boogie boards, pool noodles just to name a few.

My family and I were very pleased with our stay. This condo had everything a family could need/use away from home, especially for going to the beach! Very well stocked with supplies. And two full bathrooms! Location perfect. Grounds are beautiful! Beach side pool area was amazing. It felt like we were at a grand resort.
I wouldn't recommend this for 5 adults to stay...sleeping on the pull out sofas were not the most comfortable, but it worked fine for our 3 young children.
We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making us feel welcome to your place!

This condo was spacious, clean, and stocked with everything we needed for the week. My husband and I purchased food at the Safeway close to the airport, on our way to the condo, and we ate most of our meals in the condo. Our visit was in June. The condo and lanai were warm because in the late afternoons it gets the setting sun. These is a mini-split in the living room and another in the bedroom. It kept the apartment very cold! I loved the fact I could walk to the beach, and had access to several secluded spots where the water was cristal clear with gentle surf. Because there are two full bathrooms, the condo could comfortably accommodate two couples (one on the pull-out sofa and one in the bedroom), or a family of 4. There is noise from vehicles in the street below the lanai, especially early mornings and 5-7 pm. The street is not visible thanks to bushes and trees. In between passing vehicles we could hear the chirping of birds and gentle swishing of the waves, in fact, this is what I miss the most about our stay!
