Just wrapped up 7 nights in the amazing condo. We were an extended family of 6 visiting from Melbourne, Australia and Manhattan, NY. Age range 3-72 and this was the perfect layout/amenity/location for our family. We started our vacation off at a full amenity resort with water slides etc and the kids (ages 3 and 6) preferred this condo. The condo's decor and condition is pristine and includes everything you may need. The views and two lanais by far the highlight. We traveled all over the island and were always happy to come "home" to Makena. No sight was more than 1.5hr drive away and many were closer. The complex was very quiet at night. The kitchen is fully stocked in regards to plates and cooking supplies; my advice is to arrange grocery delivery through Safeway or Instacart before check in if possible, we arrived late and there is no easy local grab and go food. We didn't need to message the manager during the entire stay, only hiccup was being confused at check in on how to get by the gated entrance but was solved quickly by calling security; once you check in there are gate cards to keep in your vehicle. This was our 4th weekly VRBO Hawaiian rental since 2018 and was the best. You will not be disappointed.

Views.Views.Views. Total relaxation immersion the moment you step into Susan’s Makena Surf Condo. The expansive lanai direct ocean view is breathtaking as we enjoyed sipping a tropical drink watching humpback whales and spectacular sunsets. The interior design that Susan chose places you immediately into vacation bliss. The kitchen is extremely well-appointed with everything you may need and high end appliances. The Makena Surf grounds are amazing as if you are visiting a botanical garden. The incredible non-crowded sandy beach has easy walk-in ocean access and is just a short walk away. There is ample parking. Just a few minutes away by car are so many fabulous restaurants in Wailea and Kihei including Spago by Wolfgang Puck, Morimotos or the more casual Monkey Pod to name just a few. Finally Susan is the BEST communicator ever for any questions about our stay. We had a 5 star vacation thanks to this 5 star condo. We have already booked again. Mahalo.

The Unit. Very spacious. Living and Dining areas were large, especially for a condo. Third floor high ceilings added to the spacious feel. The unit was located just perfectly on the corner of the building. Great views to the South and West. Sunsets and whales every day. Great beach access to two beaches (one nice sandy beach, one rocky). Both pretty secluded. The Development. The best for sure. Very close to the shopping/restaurants of Wailea, but away from all the crowds. And the snorkeling is great here, right off the beach area. And a number of snorkeling areas very close as well. The owner. Very accommodating and great communication, before and during our stay. Overall. I can not think of a better place to stay in Maui. Close to everything but private. Will be back !!

This condo is a hidden gem. Quiet corner location. Large windows all rooms overlooking ocean. Sunset everyday from balconies. Outdoors feels like built in a tropical garden. Family canceled whale watching trip due to views. Very nice pool and beaches and ample parking. So good my adult daughters said they would vacation with us again!

Incredible views and very clean/well-managed condo. Loved our family stay.

This place was amazing! Everything about it was the perfect island vacation. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Maui. Susan was super responsive and a great hostess.

This condo was the best place we have ever stayed (and this includes the Four Seasons down the street)! The communication with the owner/property manager was fantastic! The condo was even better in person than in the pictures! The snorkeling was amazing right on property. We could watch whales from the lanai (and from the shower)! The location is wonderful! The owner provides so many things - you really just didn't have to think about anything! If I could give 6 stars - I would! Our family loved it so much!

We absolutely loved our stay. Everything was just as advertised and even better. The views and access to the beach are incredible. The condo is well stocked and felt very homey. We loved it so much we already booked our second visit.

Love the Makena Surf property, and this was a great unit for our family.

We had a great week enjoying beautiful views and a perfect location. With convenient access to beaches, our whole family enjoyed relaxing and playing on the beach - and was more convenient with the provided chairs/umbrella etc. we even saw turtles swimming right up to the shore! The apartment was fully stocked and had everything we could need and Susan was very responsive, kind, and flexible with our needs. We will miss the nightly sunsets from the balcony. We loved this place and will definitely come back.

My wife and our 2 daughters had a wonderful stay at Susan's condo. The setting was unbelievable, as this was the first time in multiple Hawaii visits that we never even ventured to another beach. The beach has amazing fish and turtle viewing, with great boogie boarding in the evening. The condo was beautiful and we all had our own bedroom and bath space and that worked out beautiful. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us Susan!

The property is simply amazing even better than the pictures. The common areas are amazing for family time. The lanais have the best views in Maui - looking at Lanai, Molakini Crater. We walked to the beach and snorkeled with turtles right outside the property. A short drive (5 minutes) to Ahini Kanai - which was amazing snorkeling. The condo is well stocked with cooking supplies, BBQ grill, and top of line appliances. The beds were super comfortable and the master shower had amazing view of the water. The 3rd floor walk up was no big deal for our family (two 20 year olds, 18 year old and 13 year old). The whole family used the small gym. Highly recommend the property for active families.

Beautiful location, condo has wonderful waterfront views and easy beach access. Very tasteful and relaxing decor with every convenience in every room. Excellent kitchen appointments, luxurious linens, super lighting and fans. The master bathroom/shower is a vacation in itself! Our family could not have been happier or more comfortable. The two large lanais provide great lounging areas for all. A superior property in every respect!

Perfect location for a family vacation in Maui! Beautiful views, beach, pool, and close to restaurants and shopping! Our host was wonderful as well as the property manager! Good communication throughout!

Enjoyed the property and the location. Great time was had by all.

Exactly as advertised—beautiful condo with a stunning view! The property is immaculately maintained and well managed. Easy access to spectacular beaches. I would definitely look to stay here again if another Maui trip is in our future.

I have stayed at Makena Surf in various buildings and this was truly the best location in terms of amazing ocean view and proximity to the beach and bigger pool. The unit itself was also the nicest we have stayed in. It is fully renovated with a master shower that has two glass walls that look out into the ocean! The unit was very well stocked with regular household items but also not “cluttered”. Susan was great to work with and her onsite property manager was also super responsive to my questions. I already booked this unit for next year!

This property is magnificent in every way. Fully ready for a perfect stay. We loved it.

Makena Surf is a beautiful place and this unit was perfect for us. Two couples and having two master suites fit the bill perfectly. We never felt crowded and had plenty of room. Balconies from both master suites and from living room. We saw so many whales and the sunsets were out of this world. The condo had everything we needed. Definitely would recommend staying here. It was very hard to leave !

The condo was as advertised. Susan was very responsive and great to work with before and during our stay. Snorkeling was great within a short walk. Great location very close to Wailea with shops and a nice market for food, etc.

From months to weeks ahead the communication and flexibility with Susan was amazing. We extended our stay a few weeks after booking and it was no issue. The photos and description of the listing, while stunning, just don't do the actual experience justice. The unit has everything you need, private beach, clean, quiet, fully loaded with cleaning supplies and normal kitchen ingredients, toy for the beach, chairs the list goes on. The views...just wow. Susan is hands down the best landlord/owner we've ever dealt with. We are looking forward to making this an annual trip and coming back again!

Susan's condo has perfect views and is so well stocked, there wasn't anything we were missing. The kitchen has everything you could need and the three bedrooms make it spacious and comfortable. We were 2 families with kids, the beach is a 2 min walk and the pool is a 1 min walk out the back door. We have stayed in this complex for 10 years and love the location. The snorkeling is amazing, the paid snorkel boats anchor right off the lanai so you know it is some of the best on the island. The area. off the rocks is filled with fish, turtles, eels and lots of other creatures. We will definitely be back!

We had an outstanding week at Makena Surf F302. The unit is wonderful. I cannot think of anything to change. I did not cook any meals but the kitchen was equipped with whatever you might need. Susan was so much help before and during our stay as was Kristian her property manager. Go by Snorkel Bob's on your way to the unit and get a mask and fins. You can snorkel out in front of the unit and spend time with the sea turtles. Just go out early or later to avoid the snorkel boats. Was just my husband and I there for the week. We enjoyed the front lanai in the mornings and the side lanai in the afternoons. This is where we will stay when we plan our next trip to Maui.

Great location. Beautiful full service condo. Full amenities for 3 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, full kitchen and laundry. Quiet and peaceful. Well-kept property with pool, barbecue area and access to beach.

This was our third time visiting Wailea and Susan’s place was far better than The Grand Wailea and Wailea Beach Villas. The property is exactly as described. Communication with Susan and her property manager, Kristian was excellent. It truly was a privilege to be Susan’s guests.

Property is nicely furnished with a great view of the ocean and the grounds are very nice.

This property is outstanding. The views are better than any of the pictures! This is a well apointed, upscale unit with 2 separate balconies right on the water. The complex is well maintained and private with direct access to a seculded beach. We could wade into the ocean and snorkle seeing green turtles on each outing. Owner is very prompt in responding and ensured we had a great stay. Overall, excellent property for an outstanding family vacation.

Every detail was perfection! From the views, to the beaches within walking distance, to the care and communication we received….we could not ask for better! All exceeded our expectations. We will be back!

Everything was wonderful. The condo is awesome and we could have spent the whole time in it!

Three senior friends spent a week in this perfectly updated unit. The view alone is breathtaking, but so are the surroundings in the condo. Everything we needed was there and our property manager, Kristian, was very helpful.

We were here to celebrate a family wedding. Makena Surf is a great location on the beach, with amazing views. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Cannot say enough about our stay! The views from this place are just gorgeous! In addition, the condo is really well thought out, exceptionally clean, well stocked (in both kitchen and bathrooms), and incredibly comfortable. I would also recommend going to the condo first, before shopping, so you don't over buy and waste. Susan was very helpful and always responded quickly to any questions we had. Very accommodating!! The beach, just off the balcony, is amazing for snorkeling! We saw turtles and a ton of fish every day. The water is an easy entrance and exit because its sandy. We also saw whales (from the balcony) every single day!! We highly recommend and would absolutely book again if we head back to Maui!
