Despite the high price of this unit, this could have been the place we came back to regularly. Upon walking in the view is stunning and captivating, the decor appears appealing and you are excited to be here. It’s a few days in when you realize that the amenities are either overly tired or cheap…not what you expect in a high end rental.
The Master bed/mattress is acceptable, but not fantastic. The second master bed is awful and creaks with every movement. There is no headboard, so reading in bed is difficult. The twin beds have firm and I’m guessing newer mattresses.
The outdoor furniture, particularly in the back patio is atrocious. I realize that oceanfront/tropical climates are hard on furniture, but when the seats are torn, it really is time to upgrade.
The kitchen amenities grade a C+. Not terrible, not great with the exception of the coffee maker that spills every time you pour water or coffee.
As a vacation rental in Hawaii, it’s probably pretty typical, but I was expecting exceptional. We love Makena and the complex here, but will move on to a different and less expensive unit in future, where our expectations match the stay

This condo is so special it’s hard to put into words to acutely describe how amazing it is. The outdoor space is outstanding both during the day and for stunning sunsets. Two perfect beaches are minutes away and the snorkeling is incredible. The condo is so well appointed and stocked with everything you need and communication with the owner is quick and easy. We plan to return as quickly as we can!!

The condo itself is truly stunning. The attention to detail and the level of appointments were exceptional. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure the condo was well-appointed and provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness of the space was also noteworthy, as it contributed to a pleasant and hygienic environment.
Additionally, the location of the condo was absolutely amazing. We were delighted to find ourselves in such a convenient and picturesque area. It allowed us to easily explore and enjoy all that Maui has to offer. The proximity to attractions, restaurants, and beautiful beaches truly enhanced our vacation.

Fantastic unit, and a wonderful location. We loved the access to excellent snorkeling right out front, and the fabulous pool (pictures didn’t do it justice because it was amazing). The complex was very quiet and peaceful but close enough to Kihei for shops, etc. The condo had excellent amenities and views. We would definitely come back.

After a long day of travel and a trip to Costco- we walked into the condo and our jaws dropped. Of course we had seen the pictures, but the real thing is so much better. The view is stunning, and the proximity to two beaches (and all the equipment available!) was the best! We had so much fun, the snorkeling is unbelievable and the condo itself is perfect. We had a family of 6 adults and we had plenty of space to hang out. We were so incredibly sad when the time came to leave. We highly recommend this property!

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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 !

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!
Norene G.

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.

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.

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!
Heather S.
March 2022
The property was all that we hoped for and more. The owner provided timely and ample information on both the unit and its operation making for an easy entry and navigation. It was impeccably clean upon arrival and had all the amenities we could need. We spent hours on the balcony taking in the gorgeous views and watching the whales. The unit is situated with fantastic waterfront views of Molokini and south Makena beaches. The scenery never gets old. The proximity to the association pool and two beaches was close and convenient. We rented kayaks for several days and we’re able to store (and lock) them on the larger beach area. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed everything about this unit! We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again one day.

This condo was AMAZING. The view from every window and the beautiful, relaxing beaches at Makena Surf made it difficult to leave for other adventures. Every time we looked out we saw whales! Perfect location with great access to shops and restaurants in Wailea and everything you could need if you decide to stay in. We will definitely stay again!

This is a wonderful condo amongst many great condos. Our family had a great time. It is an ideal location and the views from the condo are outstanding. The condo was clean & nice.

Great location close to all major resorts and beaches. Updated appliances, great views, especially for whales. Will stay again.
January 2022
We had an absolute incredible stay for my family the week before Christmas in this gorgeous property. This is a 5-star property all-around. I'd actually give it 6 stars for location and for communication with property management. The property management/owner was extremely helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond in responding to numerous questions I had about our trip, even with questions that weren't directly related to the property. The location can't be beat. It is literally a 1-minute walk down to 2 different beaches that can be directly accessed from the property. This property has probably the best view in the complex, due to it's corner location (beach/ocean views from both balconies). The property was well-equipped and appointed. Every dish/kitchen item/bar item that you would need is there. For beach days, the property has everything you need, from chairs, towels, umbrellas, storage bags, flotation devices, etc. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable, with 2 of the 3 having direct access to balcony with ocean view. Plenty of closet/drawer space and hangars are available. I will absolutely recommend this specific property to anyone I know traveling to Maui. If you are looking for a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom property, don't look any further.

What an incredible condo! The two lanais really can’t be beat. We saw whales almost every day, with one breaching multiple times on Christmas Day! The home is well equipped as well, including shampoo, conditioner and soaps. Makena Surf is a great location for us, very quiet but on an amazing beach. Every morning we’d drive 8 minutes to Wailea, get a latte at Honolulu coffee or Island Gourmet then walk the beach path. I highly recommend this rental and hope to be back myself someday.
Steve S.

Our first evening we sat on the large lanai (one of two) and watched a beautiful sunset. It was so quiet and peaceful. The beach is a short easy walk and chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards are all provided. The kitchen is well equipped and there is also a grill on the lanai. It’s a beautiful home and a perfect getaway. We highly recommend it!

My husband and I had a magnificent stay here for 5 nights. The pictures, although accurate, can’t do the place justice. The views, including that from the shower, are stunning. This was the best stocked condo we have ever rented and the decor is perfect. Susan was great to deal with - very informative and helpful. Finally, having a beach on either side with snorkeling and sea turtles was magical. Stay here - you won’t be disappointed.

This 3-bedroom condo was perfect for our group of 6 people! This condo is a corner unit on the top (3rd) floor with 2 large lanais overlooking the ocean and beach. You could not be closer to the ocean. The condo is updated with modern finishing, appliances and furnishings, plus artwork that compliments the home. The owner provides beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, beach towels, etc. The kitchen is well stocked. The master bedroom has 2 sliding doors that open to both lanais with a view of the ocean while you shower.
The Makena Surf property is located south of Wailea in a beautiful and quiet location. You are close to restaurants and shopping in the upscale Wailea resort area. The grounds are full of tropical plants and flowers. There is quick and easy access to 2 beaches in front of the property. This is a great location for those that like to snorkel. In the mornings, snorkel kayak/boating tours come in front of the property to snorkel with sea turtles.
Susan, the home owner is very welcoming and accommodating. She provides information on the condo before you arrive, and the process to check in/out with access through the security gates was setup and straightforward. Susan ensures her guests have an enjoyable and relaxing time during their stay.
We have wonderful memories staying in this condo. We spent a lot of time on the lanais relaxing and enjoying the amazing ocean views including beautiful sunsets. There was no moon out during our stay and we spent evenings star gazing and watching the stars/planets move across the sky. We could even see the outline of the milky way. It was hard to leave this beautiful condo and would love to stay here again!

Take it from an old Maui local, this place is amazing. The lanai and views are stunning, the condo is beautiful, clean and spacious. Snorkeling and hanging with the turtles out front was our daily experience. Thank you Susan, we hope to be be back soon 🤙

September 2021
We booked Susan's home based on the location and the views from the two lanais and the over all impression of the condo from the listing. Her home is even better in person. No photos could ever do justice to just how beautiful the location is and how well appointed her home is.
Decorated throughout with unique and beautiful artwork and furniture, the condo looks and feels very comfortable. We recommend anyone staying to definitely check in first and get a feel for what Susan supplies because you may not need to purchase many items you may have anticipated needing. There are soaps, shampoos, dishwashing supplies, paper towels, sugar packets and more.
The kitchen is incredibly well designed and kitted out with everything you could need to cook during your stay. All the electronics, pot's, pans, utensils, and flatware are all high quality that one would keep in their own home. When staying at Susan's you feel you are indeed staying at someone's home. You don't often feel that way at many vacation rental homes these days.
We had the most delightful and relaxing time visiting. There are two beaches that are easy to access and one is just in view from the main lanai. The snorkeling companies drop off snorkelers just outside the condo almost every morning. If you fancy snorkeling yourself you can rent equipment locally and swim out from the beach that you can see from the living room lanai. If you head out first thing in the morning you can beat the boats. Be mindful of the weather and the tides as our last two days there is was quite rough.
The bedrooms were all very comfortable and everyone appreciated the well designed closet space enabling us to unpack and feel really at home. In the master bedroom, on comfortable evenings, you can open the doors to the two lanais (with the screens shut, of course) and fall asleep listening to the waves just outside. Absolute heaven!
We enjoyed this vacation enormously and were sad when our time came to an end. I could honestly go on and on about how wonderful Susan's home is and what a wonderful host she is but I will sum up by saying Susan is a top notch host and her home is absolutely fabulous. Thank you for an amazing stay!

The pictures of the condo are accurate but this place still exceeded our expectations. The view of the water and Molokini are stunning - you can even enjoy it while taking a shower! The furnishings are stylish and comfortable. The location is convenient for all the best beaches, restaurants and shopping in Wailea. We are avid snorkelers and the reef out front has healthy coral and many turtles. We went early before the boat tours showed up. Afterwards we could have breakfast on the lanai. We have stayed multiple places on Maui/the islands and this is our favorite. Susan, the owner, made check in very easy and the unit is well maintained and equipped with anything you might need.
Melissa B.
August 2021
Wonderful corner unit on top floor with amazing views in two directions. The unit was very well decorated, and clean. Snorkeling right off the beach was amazing! Turtle town right next to the condo. Best turtle experience I have ever had. One swam right up to me and then swam under me. But remember you should stay at least 6 feet away and you could be fined up to $10,000 for touching a sea turtle in Hawaii. So enjoy the thrill of the turtles but at a 6 foot distance.
Side note: I was very impressed by the stocked bottles of alcohol, large containers of Kirkland shampoo & conditioner, assortment of spices, artificial sweetener and canned drinks (left by other guests), plenty of supplies for laundry and kitchen. All VRBOs should be stocked this well! Overall great bang for the buck and I would love to come back and stay in this unit again!

Everything about Susan’s place is perfect. It is well stocked and you can’t beat the view. We enjoyed staying here and felt very at home and never had to run to the store to get anything (other than food and drinks) as the condo is incredibly well stocked. The beach chairs and umbrellas were very much appreciated and a nice touch! Susan was great to work with!! The only thing that could make this place even better is room darkening curtains in the master! With two glass doors in the room the sunlight makes it hard to sleep past about 6:30am. Fortunately we are early risers however it is pretty bright in there. The other rooms stayed dark. We would definitely come back!!

We come to Maui yearly and this is by far the best property we’ve had the pleasure of renting. The views are spectacular, the 2 beaches are steps from the door, and the unit itself is immaculate and beautifully furnished. The kitchen has everything you would want to prepare and serve meals. The snorkeling near Makena Surf is among the best in Maui and sea turtles are all around. Makena Surf is wonderfully maintained and the pool is clean and not crowded at all, several times we were the only people there. Susan is very responsive to emails and questions. It was so nice having beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and boogie boards furnished. This unit has everything you need for a fantastic vacation. Truly luxurious.

We loved our stay in Makena Surf!! This place is lovely in multiple ways - the big lanais with the ocean views can’t be beat. The kitchen is well- stocked, large and beautiful! The master bath shower is the best shower I’ve ever used. You can see the sparkling ocean as you shower. Everything is done tastefully and smartly to work well and make you comfortable. We had the BEST stay and can’t wait to return.

The condo was fantastic! It's very well set up...fully stocked with everything you could possibly need - appliances, toiletries, beach toys/chairs, binoculars etc. It was clean and very well laid out for 2-3 couples to comfortably stay in. The owner provided information that covered everything. The check in / check out process was very easy. The lanais were amazing....great spot to start and end each day! Thank you!

We booked this condo for our 40th anniversary sharing it with our son, daughter and son-in-law. The whole experience surpassed our expectations. The unit's layout, space, amenities and views are fantastic. The condo was spotless when we moved in. We particularly enjoyed barbequing and dining on the spacious lanai. The pool areas, private beaches and tennis courts are easily accessible and never overcrowded. Susan was always friendly, helpful, accessible and courteous. We would rent again in a heart beat.

Location, location , location!! And the property compliments the location completely. Upon arrival the first thing you notice is the immaculately manicured gardens and walkway leading you in. This condo has been thoughtfully furnished and beautifully appointed with all those touches that make for a memorable experience . Comfortable beds, lovely showers, spacious bathrooms (each bedroom has its own bath).
Frankly we lived on the deck, songbirds awakened us every morning and we never tired of watching the waves splash against the lava rocks along the shore. Every day a new group of snorkelers squealed with delight and bobbed in the water just off shore. We did find the induction stove difficult to master and quite complicated. Given enough time I’m sure it would be a breeze but when on vacation it was a little much. It was obvious there was no skimping on quality appliances and furnishings. I felt like I had walked into a model home. This home is extraordinary. Oh, and did I mention the evenings. If I could jump into those sunsets I’m sure all my problems would disappear
If living the dream is your idea of a holiday you really need to try this condo at Makena Surf.

I can't say enough about this magnificent property. Our family of 5 stayed for 6 nights and it was an experience we will never forget. The property is perfect down to every single detail. The size was perfect for our family and had EVERYTHING we needed. We've stayed in properties before where you forget something and have to run to the store 5 times to get something, but everything we needed was here! The interior is impeccably decorated and the view from both lanai's was the BEST!! We did not have to pay for expensive excursions to go snorkeling. We walked down to Chang's beach every morning and snorkeled the reefs with the sea turtles and other amazing sea creatures. We took family photos one night on Chang's beach which was the ideal location!! Susan was extremely responsive and provided every detail we needed. The location was close to all of the shops and restaurants. We watched the sun rise while having coffee every morning. We were felt like we were right at home if not more so because of the beauty and comfort of this place. There is no doubt we will return here!! Thank you Susan for sharing your amazing home in paradise!! If you are considering this property for a stay, look no further! You won't regret it!!

We have stayed at many properties within the makena surf complex and really enjoyed this one. It had every thing in the cupboards and spice cabinet that we needed. They were very helpful when our flight was changed. The one improvement I would recommend is that it is essential for a 3 BR unit to have an outdoor dining table that seats 6 not 4, especially in Hawaii. otherwise everything else was fabulous!

This oceanfront condo was remarkable. Susan has left nothing undone. My husband and I had our adult children and dear friend. Three bedrooms and baths made us all very happy. The place was immaculate. Open up and listen to the waves all day and all night. Close up with AC and quiet fans. The beach is a three minute walk where every morning we swam with gorgeous fish and sea turtles. No need to hire a boat for that! Everything is new and the condo is beautifully appointed. It is comfy and there are plenty of towels and amenities. There were many beach chairs, three umbrellas, beach toys and even sunscreen in the closet. We actually cooked in the high tech kitchen, grilled on the lanai and ate our food out on the wraparound lanai. It is appointed with lounge chairs, comfy chairs, tables and umbrellas. We got up each morning to see the sunrise and watch the boats sail out to Molikini. The stars at night are magical. There are large TV's if you need to watch TV and internet that is flawless, but we were there to un-plug! The towels were plentiful for shower and beach. A washer and dryer is always helpful. The beds were firm, but comfortable with lovely linens. You don't need to bring much. It was quiet and we never heard voices and being in a top unit, there is no one to make noise above you. The ground are well manicured and the pool was great. We had a glorious week together as a family. You get what you pay for. It would be perfect for two couples. Book soon. your dates may fill up quickly.
