Nice view but could use a reno and more modern furniture
Not a 2BR but a 1 BR with two Murphy beds
The unit is in a good location as it has a short downhill walk to the pool and beach.
It wouldn't take much to elevate this property - to one that would give the impression that the owner enjoyed & took pride in their property.
The bathrooms are very dated & showers need quite a bit of TLC.
We did not mind the dated furniture, but the living room carpet was absolutely filthy—beyond carpet cleaning—and desperately needed replacing.
The kitchen had a very old and basic Mr. Coffee machine and mismatched dishware and silverware, which one would expect in a super cheap rental unit well below the price point of ekahi units.
On the past two visits to Wailea, we stayed in the Ekolu complex—considered a step below the Ekahi complex—but the units we stayed in reflected owners who take pride in their property and care about their guests' experience.
This unit gives the impression that the owners just don't care because it wouldn't take much of an investment to elevate this unit to the level of others in this complex, and at this price point, it is definitely warranted. We will likely rent in the Ekahi complex again, but not this unit.
Husband and I greatly enjoyed our 2 weeks here, 1 week with adult son using the LR Bed-super comfortable!
This 1 BR 2 BA is a great layout for a couple or family with young kids. The 2 baths is a total win and its closet is filled with everything you need for your beach stay-chairs, umbrellas , cart, games, etc.
There is a hill back to unit from the beachfront community pavilion and pool, but doable… it gets you the views you don’t get in “lower village.” And if the hill is non-negotiable, you can drive to the beachfront pool:)
The unit is updated, comfortable and well supplied in the kitchen if you want to cook or grill. Housekeeping provided more than enough supplies and there were some appreciated “pay it forward” leave behinds, like aloe and other toiletries.
Importantly, the owner was very responsive and helpful during our stay:)
As many times as we’ve vacationed in Wailea, we’d definitely return to this unit! Ekahi Village is rare in that the complex has direct beach front access and Keawakapu beach is in excellent condition! Turtles swim right off shore, and you can walk out to snorkel direct from this beach! Direct access means you don’t have to drive to another beach, park, schlep your things and use porta-Johnnie’s. Here, you can walk up to a gated access to your private pool and community center. Ekahi is a great condo vacation stay!! And you can walk the 4 mile RT beachfront path along the hotel zone of Wailea.
Mahalo!
Great view. King bed was extremely uncomfortable
Lovely property as advertised.
Great location for us and our kids to experience everything Maui has to offer. The unit had everything we needed for our stay. Great communication and easy check in process. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon.
We loved staying here! 2-3 min walk to pool and very private beach. 2-3 min drive to other very popular beaches and walkway along the ocean. 2-3 min drive or 15 min walk to mall/places to eat. 10 minute drive to town with lots of places to eat. Lots of toys/bqgs/chairs to use for the beach. Roomy condo.

Very well maintained property with beach and heated pool within walking distance. Luxury hotel just nearby. Really quiet. Beach gear was really helpful and we had everything needed in the condo. Perfect for our little family of 3.
We really enjoyed our stay! Great view from the lanai, easy access to the beach, multiple pools, walkable to shops and short drive to restaurants. Communication with Sharon pre-trip was seamless. The condo was fully equipped for beach days and had everything we needed for our stay. Better stocked than other places we've stayed. My only suggestion would be to replace some of the bedding and pillows. Some of the sheets and mattress pads had stains. But overall the unit was clean, as well as the property grounds. They are well maintained. Would stay here again. Mahalo!
Pluses: beautiful condo, great view, good location near quiet pool, spotlessly clean, two bathrooms. Minuses: refrigerator barely works and uses ice cube trays just like in grandma's day (oh joy); AC is noisy and cycling is annoying; internet worked after wasting time figuring out correct codes; TVs are small and controls are clunky. Considering the cost of staying here, amenities should be updated/improved.
