Nice property for a quiet and relaxing stay. Pool area was well maintained, and very nice beach area.
The unit was located in a nice place, with a view of the water. Convenient to the pool and beach.
The unit was a bit worn. The carpet was stained in multiple places, and the carpet felt dirty. The unit was well equipped.

Overall a great location. Unit is a bit dated for price point but great patio with ocean views. The unit could also be better stocked, in particular the kitchen.

We’ve stayed in the Ekahi Village complex before but I think this is now our favorite unit :)
Beautifully equipped, quiet unit with comfortable indoor/outdoor furniture, an extremely comfortable king size bed and nicely chosen linens/towels.
We will be back :)

Great location of unit - we've stayed at Ekahi many times. Two things that could use improvement for this place: 1) Provide a beach umbrella! That really changes the beach experience when you have to search for shade or leave early because you don't want to be in the sun. 2) If we provide you with a time we are coming please have AC on AND provide instructions for how to use it.

Once again an excellent stay in 5E. This is our third time in this unit. There were coffee filters and plenty of paper towel and toilet paper. There could have been more spices. The AC unit is not as loud as people have mentioned.

Everything was very nice and in good order. All the essentials to get your stay started is there, like the coffee grounds and laundry tablets. The only negative is the AC unit is right outside of the bedroom patio door and is very loud. It was hard to sleep without earplugs. Maybe it needs to be cleaned or maintained more regularly.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and daughter loved this vacation property. It was well-appointed and very comfortable, with an ocean view and a very short walk to the beach. Loved the 3 mile oceanfront walk south through Wailea, and the beach walk north towards Kihei. The second bathroom and murphy bed worked out well for my teenager. We would definitely stay in this unit and/or in this complex again. My only complaint for such a well appointed property and kitchen was that the only cooking basics were salt and pepper. Please provide a few more basics! So wasteful and expensive to have to purchase a bottle of olive oil, a box of sugar for coffee and other basic condiments when cooking just a few meals.

This is our 5th visit to 5E! We simply love everything about this unit. Location to the pool is excellent...Views are lovely...Kitchen has all the needs. We were very disappointed to have lost the closet however. The owners removed a closet to install "owner only" bunk beds. I am sure this must accommodate their family best. We just found it hard to only have one portion of a closet to use. Otherwise, it was another delightful stay!

My family and my extended family have all stayed at condos in Ekahi Village multiple times over the past 15 years, and this was by far our best stay! The view from the lanai is SO MUCH BETTER than the photos in the listing! We could see whales breaching from the lanai, even without binoculars - although the binoculars provided at the condo made it even more spectacular. We ate breakfast on the lanai every morning. The main pool and one of the quiet pools was just a couple minutes to walk, and we walked the beach and the Wailea Beach Path almost every day, all the way to The Shops of Wailea. Ekahi Village is so well kept with the gardens and trees, and the condo was so clean - especially loved having two updated bathrooms with fantastic modern showers (the one in the master was a rainfall shower). Kitchen was updated and well stocked. The only issue we ran into was that the washing machine was leaking and we couldn’t use it for the first half of our stay, but they ordered the part and repaired it so we did get to use it toward the end of our stay, which was very convenient. Great communication with the property management. The pool/beach gate code on the printout provided in the condo isn’t correct so if you stay here make sure to ask the property management for the updated code (we had to get it from one of the neighbors). Overall the best stay we could have hoped for - the views of the ocean and luxurious tropical gardens from the lanai are unmatched!!

Reviewer Comments:
The location and amenities of this property were top-notch. My family enjoyed staying here and it’s easy access to everything on the island. The one caveat is, if you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring air plugs to cover up the noise of the air conditioner. The air conditioner is set right outside the master bedroom, probably 2 feet from where you sleep. I would recommend to the owners that they add some insulation around the air conditioner to help quiet it as it was a bit painful to have to try and deal with the noise throughout the night .

This unit was everything we could have wanted; it was tastefully decorated; had a very well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed, and a great shower; featured a large balcony with a beautiful view; provided chairs and beach towels; and was a short walk to a beautiful pool and the ocean. It was near wonderful places to eat, a path along the ocean, good places to run and walk, and either Kihei Road or Highway 31 for travel north. We loved our stay.

My husband and I have stayed in 5E several times now. I truly has become a home away from home. The unit has a wonderful location. The kitchen wants for nothing. The decor is everything you would want in a Hawaiian condo!! Our only disappointment is that the rates have gone up so much, that we will not be staying here anymore. We loved our time spent there and will miss it next year!

Very good overall experience renting this condo for spring break week 2022.
First off this is north Wailea and we only rent there instead of in a more "organic" part of Maui to get walking access to the beach and private pools for our young daughter. On both of these issues, this condo was perfect: the beach right outside was beautiful and not too crowded (if you walked on the shore less than 5'), and the private pools worked wonders for our daughter, so 5 stars based on that alone.
The complex:
- very well maintained at the price of a total "leaf-blower/pesticide" vibe, it feels like brutalized nature in beautiful Maui but we were expecting that and sadly that was exactly how it felt.
- not designed for active people: no paddle board or kayak racks, no place to rinse and dry wetsuits or park bicycles. It feels a bit like a retirement community, mostly older folks and families with young kids. On the plus side folks staying there are considerate and quiet.
The unit itself, 5E, is well located, but has some quirks:
- The communication with the rental agent was a times laggy but mostly adequate, although we would have loved to communicate by text instead of phone call (hello, it's 2022!). One annoying mishap from the property management: we were given the wrong code for the complex gates, and in that complex that's a huge problem, you can't go anywhere without that code... The other biggest issue we had was a really strange alarm went off one morning and agents couldn't come for hours. We had to troubleshoot that ourselves.. Did you know people use water leak alarms under their sinks? Useful I guess, but you need to let your guests know they are there, especially if the sink is leaky...
- The electronics, furnitures and interior feel dated. "Beautiful remodel" from the listing should not set high expectations.
- Overall well equipped with decent appliances but stingy on certain staples: no laundry pods, barely enough dishwashing pods and coffee filters, no condiments.
- The regular beach stuff you get with an hawaii rental was ok (towels, beach chairs) but sadly no sun umbrella and no beach toys!
- We did hear some loud construction noise nearby during the day a couple of times, coupled with lawn mowers and leaf blowers, this wasn't always a peaceful daytime experience. Good thing we were out of the condo most of the day. At night it was always super quiet.

Second time staying in Ekahi, first time in 5E. Really great location. Close to pool and beach and unit nicely furnished. A few issues with the unit, one of which was taken care of by the maintenance crew and a second issue we took care of ourselves. Although we had a confirmed reservation for three adults, the Murphy bed for the third adult was not made up. When I called to have it done, I was informed that housekeeping doesn't make up the extra bed - really? The king size mattress in the main bedroom was difficult to adjust. we did not realize it was a sleep number mattress until we saw the controller several days into our stay. Unfortunately, the battery was dead, so it was of no use. Other than those minor issues we enjoyed our stay and the location.

Ekahi 5E is an amazing condo. The location is fantastic, the condo was super clean and is a great place to stay. The view from the lanai is breathe taking. The greenery and flowers and all the birds with a very clear view of the ocean. Amazing sunsets. We will definitely be back. The property is fantastic with close beach access. The bed was very comfortable the living room was very roomy and clean. We didn’t communicate much with CB because honestly, there was no need to. Everything was laid out and the binder had all the info. I can’t say enough about how great this condo is.

This was our first trip to Maui and this condo made our stay very special. Located a short stroll to the beach, the condo is located in a beautiful complex with lovely landscaping. The lanai faces a private open area with views to the ocean. The location is terrific, close to many shops and restaurants and the beach is perfect for swimming, walking and even snorkeling. We saw a turtle while snorkeling off the shore in near the rocks! Enjoyed our stay and the condo was in great condition. Michelle- La Jolla, CA

Stayed closer to the beach pavilion this time which made it better to go back and forth to unit vs hiking the very steep hill Unit was well equipped and maintained. A few items needed fixing but CB was all over it and called several times. Very nice welcome basket too. Helped out with masks and other nice items.

We enjoyed walking to dine and shop, as it is a pleasant walkable distance. We will be back in March to enjoy the unit again! Mahalo

The carpet was stained, the a/c didn’t work, lights were out, ceiling fans were dirty and one clanked so loud you couldn’t use it. The deck was so crowded with furniture, it was hard to move around. The kitchen laminate floor was lifting in spots. Windows and screens were dirty, but were cleaned during our stay. We won’t be back to 5E again.

Very nice condo! Wonderful view also. The unit was a bit warm since the directions were to turn off the air conditioning when not there... took quite a bit of time to cool down.
Additionally, the pool/beach gate code changed while we were there. Luckily for us, our friends who rented through Destination Rentals, received the new code. We were not notified by Coldwell Banker Management of the change. Lastly, conflicting information regarding check out time. Unit paperwork stated 10am and email stated 11am.

We had immensely enjoyed our stay at this unit. The location can't be better: quiet, serene, a 2-3 minute walk away from one of the best beaches/snorkeling spots in Maui, 1-min drive from the Island Gourmet store where you can get a tasty breakfast and all necessities, and restaraunts, 5-min drive from other deserted and beautiful beaches. The unit is very spacious, clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. It is fully equipped with everything for a prolonged stay. We wished we had booked extra days with this unit (instead of the Grand Wailea resort, which had too much commotion and inferior cleanliness standards) and "bookmarked" it for our next stay.

We've stayed in many units in Ekahi. This one is very nicely redone and has good views. Our concerns: first, the downstairs neighbors in 5B are pretty noisy. They appear to be full time residents and play a television often, loudly enough to hear both inside the unit and especially outside on the lanai. This was very disappointing. Second, the unit needs a coffee table in the living room, and a dining table inside. There is only a counter with stools and TWO tables outside on the lanai. The lanai has no room for chaise lounges as a result. This should be remedied.
