Overall, this is a great spot in Maui—we’ve stayed here before and really liked it. But just a heads-up: as of May 2025, there’s ongoing construction that wasn’t disclosed by the owner or Vacasa. They were redoing the common grassy area and landscaping - most of the grassy area is mud / dirt right now including immediately outside our our room. Sprinklers would go on and off throughout the day, meaning you’d either get soaked or have to wait to cross the shared grassy/pool area. Landscaping work was happening all week. Most of the apartments were roped off with yellow construction tape, which kind of ruined the vibe.
Unfortunately, this all came as a surprise when we arrived. Had we known ahead of time, we would’ve booked somewhere else to avoid the construction hassle. It honestly felt a bit deceptive not to disclose this— the only response we got from Vacasa was a flat “truly sorry to hear that.”
The property is always well manicured and exactly what we have come to love and expect from the Mahina Surf. This unit is adorable and everything the two of us needed. The bedroom door was slightly difficult to close but that’s the least of our concerns. Great experience all the way around.
The location of this condo was great. We loved listening to the waves and watching for whales.
This location has the best views of the ocean you can imagine. Hearing the crashing waves is so relaxing. The condo is very fresh and clean it is a joy to stay there.
I didn't love anything. When I checked in, it was already after 10pm. I found all the appliances pulled away from the walls, the dishes and utensils were put onto the couch area and several outlet/light covers had been removed. I took photos and emailed them to Vacasa customer service. They responded by saying that because it was late, the local representative would contact me the following morning.
The next morning I received a call from the local representative who informed me that there was a scheduled pest control service and if it was okay for them to perform the service at that time (around 9:30am). I had already left the room and would not be available till late afternoon. The local rep said that they could have me stay in another room that night.
I went to see the rep at about 4pm and he said it was taken care of. I didn't think they would enter my room without my permission, but they had entered and I also didn't realize that they had treated the room with some kind of chemical(s). I had asked the rep if I am changing rooms, and he said there was no need to as it had been taken care of. Had I known that they had sprayed something in the room, I would have insisted on not sleeping in the room.
I left the room to go to dinner with friends, so I was in the room for only a few minutes and returned later that night after 10pm once again. I took a shower and tried to sleep, but because of the chemical treatment, I got a headache and was having trouble breathing. I trie
Great location, a smaller complex, and wonderful views. Also loved being able to walk down to see the Sea Turtles, resting on the beach, daily.
Main complaint was fold out bed blanket not in unit, requested and said they would have someone bring us one. Never happened, whole week without blanket.
I have been coming to Mahina Surf for over 50 years. This is my place. I have already booked my trip for next August 2023.
