We recently stayed at a beautiful property in Maui, and overall, it was a great experience. The rental itself was stunning—spacious, well-designed, and located in a fantastic area. It had so much potential and really made our trip memorable.That said, there were a few areas where the rental fell short. While the home was visually impressive, it lacked some basic essentials for a comfortable stay—things like an adequate supply of towels and everyday necessities were missing. Additionally, while the property appeared clean at a glance, it could benefit from a more thorough deep cleaning. We noticed dust buildup in corners and on baseboards, which detracted slightly from the overall experience.With a few improvements in stocking and cleaning, this place could easily be five-star. We’d still recommend it, especially for the location and layout, but hope to see those details addressed in the future.

We have had multiple stays at Maalaea Surf, all really good but H2 and H3 were exceptional .Very well stocked and both units in a secluded beachfront area.

This is our third stay at Ma’alaea Surf and we never want to leave. Malea corrects any issue quickly and always available. H2 is our second beachfront condo stay and you just can’t beat the peace and comfort. We had to cancel our trip last year due to Lahaina fires but returned this year to support Maui’s recovery. We will be back! Mahalo!

This location is perfect, 10 min from airport and just 15 min from Lahina or Wailea. The description of the property was very accurate. They keep the property very clean and their management staff was highly professional. With onsite pickleball, shuffleboard and pool we enjoyed it all. The beach is a perfect spot for lounging or long walks daily. Every restaurant is close. This is our favorite place to go in Maui.

Loved staying in this unit. Great location and amazing view. Having air conditioning was a huge plus. Also, there was everything you could imagine in the kitchen. It was great to be 15 to 30 minutes from all the tourist areas on the island. Would stay here again.However, the unit needs to have a serious deep clean. I'm allergic to dust and as soon as I stepped through the door I was sneezing. I noticed that the air conditioning vents had not been cleaned in a very long time. There was a thick layer of dust on all the vents including the air filter. I had to climb up and clean them. I hung my clothes in the closet and when I took out one of my dresses the entire bottom of my dress was covered in dust bunnies. Also, the air conditioning unit was very loud, almost like it was about to die. The other issue was the bugs. I know it's Maui and there are bugs, but it was so bad I couldn't eat outside. The property needs to be sprayed more often.Considerations for the Future:It would be nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. You could easily put one in the "cleaning equipment" closet by the bathroom and put the cleaning equipment in the second closet in the bedroom. Also, the shower faucet will need to be replaced soon.

This is the second time we stayed in this unit. Beautiful view. We enjoyed eating our meals on the lanai. Very restful place to stay.

While we have visited this lovely resort many times, this trip was a last minute decision just to relax. We were not disappointed, It was indeed paradise revisited.
Overall good. The pluses here are the low density of the development, it's mellow - assuming you want that. Very quiet in the ocean front units. The back units get more road noise.
I knocked one star off cleanliness as the place just has an overall musty scent to it. (more on that later).
The biggest downside to this place, and generally Sugar Beach now is the unpredictable beach and water conditions. Sugar beach can be very beautiful, but particularly in the rainy season it can get very muddy. There is a big drainage that comes into the bay here from upcountry. For the past few years when they get heavy rains that drainage ditch gets totally overwhelmed. It floods into the bay, all kinds of gross stuff. It makes the beach area pretty much useless. All kinds of stuff washes up on the beach, and the water turns brown and it's essentially not swimmable. So that makes for a buzz kill for your beachfront vacation. My understanding is this only happens in rainy season. So the rest of the time is likely fine.
They have two pools. But I don't think they are heated at all, so if you like a warm pool to swim in - you won't get that here. Also for me it's a drawback that there's no Hot Tub. But if you don't care about such things it's obviously NBD there. Here you really trade off the "resort pool" scene for less crowds and very mellow.
Finally - when they do get flooding here in the rainy season they now have a big flood gate they install..

Our family of 4 stayed here in October. The landscape is beautifully manicured, the pool is well kept and we loved the pickleball courts! H2 had a beautiful view of the ocean from the Lanai where we can listen to the waves into the evening hours. The only downside to sitting on the lanai at night was the bright outdoor light that rests between H1 and H2, it took away from the views. The property was well stocked with the essentials as well as beach items that we were very grateful for. The entire rental is updated beautifully. We would definitely stay here again.
