Great location, bit away from the big resorts, but easy access to the beach. Wonderful views. Close to the shops as well.Only complaint with that one of the showers didn’t work, such thayhalf the water was coming out of the overhead showerhead and half from the possible below
The condo was located just a few minutes away from Ulua Beach, a market and eateries, which was perfect with little kids from a convenience factor. The place was spacious and had all the amenities needed to enjoy Maui. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay here!
The condo is nice and the area is great. Convenient location with shops and a market. The snorkeling is excellent there. The grounds are immaculate and the staff is friendly. The condo is a bit dated, but in good shape apart from some stained carpet. The condo complex however is not very welcoming to renters. Twice during our one week stay the ocean front pool and pavilion were closed to renters. I read about this in another review which prompted me to inquire with the Wilea Elua Village management. They stated that renters have access to the pool, but there is a hidden work around that they have devised to keep renters out of the pool at their discretion. They call the closures “annual owners meetings/events”, and then assign a random title to each event to make it sound like it’s not a routine closure. But, there were two “annual” closures during our stay. This is clearly an internal effort to exclude renters from parts of the amenities that you are paying for. Had the management been transparent about amenities closures I would not be upset. However, I was not given this info when I inquired specifically about it. They do this, obviously, because they don’t want to deter renters, yet they also don’t seem to want renters there. Also, the pool has enforced quiet hours from 4pm to 6pm everyday. If you are a retiree and don’t like kids, you would enjoy this. But if you are a family who spends the day on the beach and then likes to cool off at the pool afterwards, then Wilea Elua is not for you. So, to summarize, this is a nice property in an excellent location, but the owners/management are averse to renters and not forthcoming about planned closures, and I would therefore consider other options in the Wilea area before renting at Wilea Elua. The (much larger) condo complex slightly north of Wilea Elua is called Wilea Ekahi… it is nice, has more pools, and far less restrictions.

Condo was well appointed and close walking distance to shops, restaurants and most importantly the beach! It had a great view of the ocean. We would go to Wailea Elua again in a heartbeat! Perfect place for a family to stay!

Overall the property was fantastic, however the only issue we encountered was we were notified the fridge was broken about 4 hours before arrival. They were kind enough to add a mini fridge into the unit for us and said they would try to get the part in on Monday and have it fixed for us ASAP. Well we received no communication about fixing the fridge afterwards and it never got fixed while we were there.
Great spot in Wailea for our family vacation. Space was perfect for our needs. Family of three with space for outdoor breakfast on the lanai, playtime in the living room and ample space in bedrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, appliances for making breakfast and lunches and afternoon smoothie/cocktails. Loved the pool and beach proximity and the beach path. Definitely would come back.

We would highly recommend Elua 2109 for a family holiday. The setup is ideal for two adults + two children given the King/Twin Bed setup across the two bedrooms. Facilities are modern and comfortable, well stocked kitchen and availability of beach equipment. Everything was very clean on check-in. Despite this unit being close to the road, it's quiet and a quick walk to the pool/beach. Elua itself is great - we enjoyed the ocean front pool and beach access almost every day.Given rental cars are so pricey, we only hired a car for four of our nine days to explore the island. On other days, we either walked to the shops (next door) or hotel restaurants for food, and used Instacart for grocery delivery. There are so many great restaurant options in Wailea, you won't run out of options.Overall, couldn't recommend this Unit and Elua more highly. We had an amazing family holiday, made all the more comfortable by this excellent unit.
Property was well maintained. Second bedroom only had single beds which didn’t work well with four adults and two children. Overall was a good choice and Elua Village is an excellent project to stay at.
