Your condo was lovely! Impeccably clean, well stocked, so nicely decorated.
It Had everything needed for a home away. Including small things like a water cooker and ziplock bags 👏and I Loved the electric blinds :) I found the binder and all specifics for the condo inside easily.
… Oh and the gate keepers were all friendly:)
Check out was smooth. Would definitely recommend to others.

We were able to rent Randy's property for our 2 son's and their girlfriends to celebrate pappa's 60th birthday. It was clean and classy. It is exactly as described to be and they are very very responsive and went above and beyond to provide recommendations. We look forward to booking again in our future travels to Maui.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo is very very nice with high end touches. The entire property is beautiful. This condo has great pool and beach access. It is also close to shops and restaurants.

Amazing property and even more beautiful in person than the pictures suggest. The home is wonderfully appointed with extremely comfortable beds, modern baths, kitchen supplies, and boasts two eating areas that are perfect for any meal. The outdoor space has plenty of seating, lounges, coverage from the sun, and spectacular water views. Upon arriving, you can tell right away that Randy and Julie have put much thought and effort into their slice of heaven and have spared no expense remodeling and decorating. They also have an immense respect and a genuine love for the island. We found the Eula staff to be very friendly and helpful when needed, whether at the gate or patrolling the grounds, and nonintrusive otherwise. The unit is super convenient to amenities including golf, shopping, and walkable to both restaurants and a gourmet market that sells alcohol and pre-made meals. We were on island for a wedding and had many family members staying at other units in Eula. We can confidently say 701 is one of the nicest homes available for rental (701 adult only) in the development. Eula 701 is truly a relaxing experience with everything one would need close by. Lastly, the beach and swimming areas here are top notch. So much so, that vacationers from the Marriot next door will walk over for a swim in the ocean. There is also a private gated green space over the beach area with loungers that we had a few wines and sunsets on, delightful. I hope to go back again someday in the future.

Loved the thoughtfulness that went behind each detail in this home. It made our stay feel that much more comfortable. Great location to just chill around the beach or by the pool and yet central to visit other areas on Maui. Beautifully maintained both outside on grounds as well as interior.

We loved the great care that the owners have taken in decorating this home with such special items. We cooked a few times for dinner and ate breakfast on the lanai every morning. The kitchen is fabulous and they have thought of everything that a cook needs. The beds are also very comfortable, and it is such a quiet, peaceful location. The closets are also roomy and thoughtfully laid out and the bathrooms are well designed.
The main pool is perfectly located by the beach, and I snorkeled at the beach almost every morning. Lots of turtles! We also snorkeled at Ahihi Nature Preserve and that was special. The people volunteering there were great.
The hidden gem is definitely the private overlook down the path from the condo and we spent almost every evening there watching the sunset.
Check in was very easy and clear. The crew who run the condo are just first rate all the way around.
We've been going to Maui since 2000 and this was our first time to rent a condo. Our last two trips we stayed in Wailea but at hotels including the Hotel Wailea, the Four Seasons and the Andaz. Frankly, you get so much more bang for your buck at your wonderful condo. And you have laundry facilities handy!
I visited Iao Valley State Monument for the first time and that was neat and a nice drive. On the way back, we stopped at the Maui Plantation, which was unexpectedly delightful. We ate at Hali'imaile General Store three times -- it's my favorite place to eat in Maui!

This is a beautifully designed condo.My wife and I appreciated the island style furnishings, the artwork and the well-stocked kitchen and wine area. We had our breakfast every morning on the lanai and took in the ocean views. At night we sat out and watched the stars. I really enjoyed having the beach so close. We left feeing refreshed.

We had the good fortune to spend the second half of our vacation at this property in the Wailea area. The landlord was responsive to the ultimate degree. He had restaurant suggestions, along with suggestions for local guides for things like going on a snorkeling trip. By the way, that turned out great, it was the great snorkeling experience of our lifetime and all thanks to Randy.
The unit was well appointed, the project in which it is located looks like a four or five star resort, and the snorkeling right off the beach is excellent. We are from Florida and have been snorkeling on a number of occasions in the Florida Keys, and the snorkeling right off the beach at his unit, exceeded anything that we have done anywhere in the country.
This comes with our highest recommendation.

The condo was amazingly beautiful and comfortable. The location was excellent, close to the beach and facilities. The check in process was seamless with check in details provided well in advance. Everything was thought of to make for a perfect vacation. Randy and Julie were perfect hosts, Randy was very proactive in communicating and responding. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us and making our vacation such a memorable one.

It is wonderful there are hosts out there willing to share their art collections with us guests. The art in this condo was amazing. From the raw edge dining table to the prints in the guest room there was so much to look at.
It’s a great place to stay for adults that appreciate the finer things in life.

Our stay was fantastic. We stayed from 09Sep-28Sep2022.
The unit is perfectly located in the village to access not only the ocean path and beach but also all of the great amenities in the Elua Village. You can walk to the Island Gourmet and Akamai Coffee.
The Condo was incredibly elegant but comfortable and we felt so at home. I would absolutely recommend to anyone. We of course enjoyed the lanai every morning and evening. Not only is the view fabulous but you can hear and see the ocean waves breaking on the beach. We cooked dinner almost every night and the kitchen provided all top of the line items needed as if we were in our own home.
The check-in was seamless. The parking is perfect as the spaces are shaded by beautiful Bougainvillea vines covering the parking structure.
I am so happy we scheduled 2 condo cleanings during our stay. Not only did I feel like we were caring for this home but eliminated one less worry to ensure we completely enjoyed our stay.
There are instruction cards located throughout the space which were perfect. We all appreciated the guidance in ensuring we were safely operating all of the high end mechanics in the condo correctly.
And of course, Randy and Julie are the Best Hosts in my book. Knowing that I could communicate easily with Randy was an absolute plus. Also, remember to arrange a late checkout with Randy. I played a round of golf before leaving for the airport at 6pm!
You will love this condo. Don't wait....or it will be gone!

Great amenities both with the property and surrounding area / neighborhood.
Property was well equipped - owners were quite thoughtful to ensure all potential needs were met.

I was super impressed with every aspect of this stay. Randy was easy to communicate with and always prompt to respond. You can really tell he's poured his heart and soul into this home. The finishes are all of the highest quality and they have somehow thought of everything you might need and supplied it here so that you can focus on enjoying your vacation. There are easy to follow instructions/labels posted throughout the condo. The casually elegant decor was both comfortable and beautiful. I can see why this unit is booked up so far in advance. I would not hesitate to book with Randy again!

Randy and Julie’s property is amazing! The location was great and the condo included all amenities needed for an incredible stay. The view from the condo was breathtaking it was only a 3 minute walk to the beach. The grounds are immaculate and gorgeous. Their communication was great and were extremely responsive. We will most certainly be back! Thanks Randy and Julie!

This condo was the best place we have ever stayed! It is exactly as pictured and described on VRBO. It was extremely clean, well stocked, and provided everything we needed for our vacation (beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a cooler, etc.). The location is excellent too! I will definitely return to this condo in the future and would recommend it to anyone!
Vince H.

Beautifully decorated 2 bedroom condo with all the amenities for a great stay. It was probably one of the best equipped VRBO kitchens I have ever seen. Elua Village itself provided two pavilions with pools and barbecues. If we head this way again, I would definitely see if 701 was available.

The condo was spacious, clean, well laid out, well equipped, and nicely furnished. You can usually tell when the owners stay at their own rentals, and it was clear that this was a well loved, well maintained property. The location was ideal. Most of what we did and saw was within an easy drive. The snorkeling spot to the right of the property was great, and the beach itself was calm and lovely. The overall property was well kept and beautiful. Security was nice and efficient. No complaints. We would happily return!

This is the Best rental we have stayed in. We have been in constant contact with the owner before arriving. The best equipped, maintained, cleanest, decor. The location is perfect for our needs, the complex amenities the best. Thank you. We will be booking again and have told our family and friends.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this unit over the winter holiday. This is our third stay in Elua Village, and by far our favorite unit on the property.
The place has been beautifully updated from the kitchen to the living space, the bathrooms, and the large lanai where we enjoyed many sunsets and even saw a few whales. We also appreciated how quiet the unit was, while still being only a short walk down to the beach.
Randy and Julie are incredibly professional to work with from booking to making certain we were will taken care of during our stay. In fact we have already planned our return visit.
Mahalo for a beautiful stay!

Our stay exceeded our expectations. We have stayed at ~ 15 condos in Maui over the years and this unit was one of the nicest that we have stayed in. Everything was well stocked, the upgrades to the unit were very nice, and the location was fantastic. The owner was extremely helpful in providing suggestions for dinner, etc… and especially providing guidance regarding the COVID restrictions that were in place during our trip.
We are looking forward to staying in this same unit in 2022.

We had a wonderful vacation in Maui and loved this Wailea Elua condo. Randy was so helpful with our booking. The condo location is so great, about 100 yards from the beach. We didn’t use our rental car for several days with many activities (beach, restaurants, watersports) walkable from the condo. The condo is beautiful. The floorplan and the furnishings are so lovely. The recent upgrades made the place feel brand new. The place is so well-equipped, with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. All items are new and working, which was a pleasant change from other VRBO properties we have visited. The views from the patio and the front room & bedroom are exquisite.

Our recent stay in Elua Village was beyond our expectations. Randy and Julie went above and beyond to make sure our stay was exceptional. The condo was more beautiful in person! It was immaculate, spacious and stocked with everything you could ever need. We loved the fact that we could walk every morning along the ocean path. Spending morning and evenings on the deck looking at the ocean was spectacular. Hoping to be able to spend some more vacation time in Maui, and there is no where else I would rather stay. This was a 5 star condo!!!

This condo is amazing! Randy and Julie are wonderful and friendly hosts who have thought of everything to make your stay fun, relaxing and 5 star worthy. The condo is beautifully decorated and has a well appointed kitchen with any and everything you need. The beds are super comfortable. The large lanai, living area and a bedroom have ocean views. It is about a 90 second walk to the beach - which is a cove with 2 points to snorkel - which we did every morning! The condo complex is lovely and is on a walking path that connects all the coves and resorts - great for morning and evening walks. Thank you Randy and Julie for an amazing stay - for sharing your lovely home, for activity and dining suggestions, for clear communication and checking in to make sure all was going well - we hope to be back for another vacation at Elua 701!

This is a fantastic location, coupled with superb features & style in the condo’s fit and finishes, supported by an attentive and very responsive owner. It doesn’t get any better than Wailea Elua 701 ! This unit is completely and tastefully furnished with tremendous attention to detail. Very top-end in all aspects. Wailea and Maui do the rest for an exceptional vacation. What a great 2 weeks we spent here with our family; we look forward to returning ! We travel often, and rent extensively through VRBO. This might be the very best accommodation/set-up we’ve ever encountered. Mahalo to Randy & Julie ! May 2021

Paradise, absolute paradise! Our family, enjoyed our Hawaiian
vacation immensely! We would return in a heartbeat to this beautiful,
comfortable and very relaxing condo, the lovely and quiet Elua Village and
magnificent Maui! Our only regret is that one week is an inadequate amount
of time to enjoy paradise!
From the time we checked in to the Elua Village to our departure, we were
greeted with smiles from the entire staff. Everyone was so very nice and
helpful. The checking in and out process could not have been easier or gone
smoother! This beautiful, clean and comfortable condo was a wonderful place to stay and fully
stocked with everything we needed and more. We simply can not think of
anything that could be added to make it better. We loved having our breakfast on the spacious lanai overlooking the ocean, what a wonderful way to wake up each day!
The Elua Village is a lovely place to stay with its beautiful grounds,
unbelievable beach and quiet, relaxing atmosphere! It was everything we
hoped for and enjoyed every minute of our time there!
The owners prompt emails, recommendations and friendliness added to a wonderful stay! We will surely stay at this wonderful condo again when we plan
our next Hawaiian getaway! We will also be telling our friends and family
about our wonderful stay in Paradise!

This was our third trip to Maui, and we knew we wanted to be on the beaches of Wailea--our favorite spot on the island. We were thrilled with the property. The grounds are gorgeous, quiet and lush. We loved our ocean view and the large lanai that had both sun and shade to please the whole family. The kitchen was so well stocked we were able to cook as if at home--and the grill worked great. The beds were pleasantly firm, which is hard to find these days. The condo is well cared for and the owners are very hospitable and quick to respond to queries. We were so pleased with the place that we literally booked for the following year while there!
March 2014
I was turning 70, my friend 60, we had to celebrate in a special place...so I chose Wailea, as I had been many places in the world, but always returned to it, one of my favorites.... my friend had never been west of NY!!!! So I began a search for the perfect rental for the 4 of us.
It had to be on my favorite beach walk, a short walk to a beautiful beach, a comfortable and nice condo with landscaping representative of Hawaii - its flowers and tropical trees that are so uniquely Hawaii!! And close to shopping and some of our favorite water activities. ONLY ELUA VILLAGE met all the requirements and more.....!!!
The condo was perfect in every way: clean, nicely updated, comfortable, all the necessities....no "surprises"! The pictures and descriptions were totally accurate. Our favorite place was on the lanai, looking out over the ocean and an incredible landscape, watching the whales, sipping our morning coffee, and knowing we were in paradise.
I would go on and on with acculades but not necessary...the place speaks for itself and so do the numerous great reviews. I would definitely recommend it to friends and hope to return in the near future.
The thing that mattered most to me about the whole process was the way the owner took total control from the beginning of all the details -step by step-professionally, accurately, securely handling deposits, answering any/all questions immediately,etc. As I said in the beginning - no surprises - we knew what was expected of us and when, and likewise, the owner responded and provided all as we expected - and checked in with us at appropriate times to be sure all was well!
A perfect vacation from beginning to end!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this unit. It is near all the large hotels, restraurants and golf courses in Wailea. The unit is very well-appointed and has everything you need for a vacation on Maui. The owners of the unit couldn't have been more helpful in making sure that everything was to our satisfaction as well as making suggestions for restaurants and outdoor activities. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this unit to other renters.

Stayed for a week with our 20 something children (boy and girl) and the accommodations were perfect. The owners, Randy and Julie, have thought of every possible vacation need for cooking, relaxing, beach going etc. Spacious rooms, fast internet, good TV's, great closets, superb washer/dryer, tasteful décor, spotless all around. What a thrill to rent a condo where everything works. Location is great--1 minute walk to that gorgeous Wailea beach and the most romantic waterfront walk in all of Hawaii. You can't go wrong here.
January 2014
Everything about our stay was great. Randy and Julie are amazing "hosts"; they pay attention to details, and are tuned into what their guests need. The unit is in fabulous condition--clean, well tended, and very well appointed. We used several of their recommended vendors, and all were great. I can't think of anything I'd change in either the unit itself or how they manage it.

Had a fabulous vacation with another couple celebrating both our anniversaries. It was our second visit to Wailea and first time staying in Elua Village. We read all the reviews on this and other units, and those who gushed about the gorgeous location and superb rental experience were spot-on. I honestly can’t say enough about the location and the grounds. The variety of foliage and attention to landscape maintenance in Elua was just phenomenal. Security and grounds crews circulated quietly day and night, every one offering a wave and smile. The pool and pavilion were beautiful and spotless, never crowded in the least - perfect for late morning swims and sunning, Sunset views from the pool chairs were spectacular. The condo was exactly as shown on the website, very clean, tastefully decorated and well-appointed. The view from the high table on the lanai was even better than the picture shows, and became our favorite early morning coffee spot to listen to the surf and greet the day. Check-in for the condo was a snap at the front security gate. Almost all reviews mention how pleasant and professional the rental experience was, and it was true for us also. Randy was top-notch to deal with, very responsive and offering lots of helpful advice and tips to ensure that our Maui stay was the best it could be. Condo location was very convenient - two minute walk to the saltwater pool, oceanfront walk and excellent Ulua beach, 5-minute walk to the Shops at Wailea, easy access to great golf, shopping and restaurants. Taste tip - happy hour appetizers at Five Palms are awesome....best calamari we’ve ever tasted! Elua Village itself is a quiet paradise where you can relax away from the crowds and traffic of the big resorts. We had a fantastic vacation and were graced with perfect weather every day. Thanks again Randy and Julie for allowing us to share your Maui home. We hated leaving, but would definitely recommend your condo as our first choice for a memorable Maui experience. We hope to return again sometime soon. Mahalo!

Wailea Elua is a perfect location for visiting Maui and enjoying all that is offered. The beach is wonderful for snorkeling, pool is great for swimming, shops are nearby, tennis club across street, jogging/walking path goes along the front of the property, and the property is beautifully landscaped with orchids and tropical plants. The complex is gated and feels very safe. There is also a large pool pavilion near the beach - so you can go snorkeling and then jump in the pool! We agonized over trying to find just the right place for our family vacation and we found it with the help of Randy and Julie! The condo has all the amenities of home including a full size washer and dryer. The view from the large patio has a great view of the ocean and we enjoyed several meals there. The condo was clean and fully stocked with linens, dishes, pots, etc. Randy and Julie gave great advice for maximizing our stay, answered all our questions, and made sure that their home was welcome for us.

An absolute "dream vacation", Hawaii's best island, best weather, best beach, and most beautiful condo location! Spent a week with grand children and how could you go wrong; beach, golf, sunsets, repeat. Randy and Julie have done a wonderful job with the unit; it has everything you could possibly need and is immaculate. Situated on "the Beach Walk", you can stroll, march, or run as my grandson did every morning with the beautiful properties on one side and the waves crashing on the other. Kihei is minutes away and has everything including a great Safeway. The beautiful "Shops at Wailea" is a short walk and has every chain you can think of and several great restaurants. However the best meal we had was a barbecue we had at the Elua Pool Pavilion on our last night. Kids swam while adults sipped wine and prepared dinner, very relaxing and the sunset was spectacular!!
Thanks again to Randy and Julie for sharing their home and being sooo attentive!
July 2013
We recently returned from another wonderful vacation at Randy and Julie's beautiful home at Elua Village in Wailea, Maui. Just as last time, working with Randy on the rental arrangements was a true pleasure. His communications were prompt and precise. He really goes out of his way to make sure you get all the information you need and that arrangements are all perfect. The deposit was promptly refunded as promised. Again, a true pleasure to work with this owner. As for the condo, it's first class all the way. Very nicely furnished and equiped from televisions to kitchen utensils to the wi-fi. My wife, 2 teenage boys and myself felt very comfortable and at home. Our friends rented another Elua condo close by and when they first walked in and saw ours, they said, WOW, this is a really nice one! The condo is really well kept and the bedrooms were very comfortable and each of our boys had their own bed in the 2nd bedroom. The location is outstanding (away from the road) and a close walk to Ulua Beach (a few minutes through the property) that Elua Village sits on. Elua Village is a beautiful tropical setting away from hustle and bustle but close to some great shopping and restaurants either in Wailea or a very short drive to Kihei. It's the perfect location for a family vacation or a quiet get-away for a couple. Thanks Randy and Julie for sharing your home in paradise with us once again. We'll be looking to repeat again next summer! Mahalo!

We stayed from 2/5/13-2/13/13 at this beautiful and very well equipped condo. The owner is super efficient and runs the place in a very business like manner from the initial contact to the payment information to the instructions and deposit receipt. He is even nice enough to include a list of restaurant and activity recommendations. The unit is beautiful with a partial ocean view and very comfortable for 4-8 guests. The kitchen is fully equipped for any gourmet chef or just ordinary use. The property has a private pool and exercise area and is adjacent to a lovely beach. We can highly recommend a stay here and would eagerly return.

PROS
*GREAT location. Right on the best beach in the area (like 100 ft away from it). Great snorkeling here as well as just hangin' and swimming. Even has tide pools a few beaches down. NOT CROWDED at least this October. We swam with turtles out there in the ams!
*Beautiful pool is right on the beach. This was great for small kids, you can go right from the house to the beach to the hose/shower to the pool and then back to the house.
*Condo was clean, SPACIOUS, comfortable, updated and Hawaiian themed (in good taste). Really, no complaints. The only thing that detracted from the actual condo for my family was that there is no bathtub (two showers) which made it difficult with a two and a half year old.
*huge patio
*great, friendly service. Owners were readily available when we were unorganized and forgot how to get the keys!
*Close enough to walk to the fancy new outdoor mall (from Louis Vuitton to the ABC junk store) and a quick drive to Kihei.
*walking distance to Marriots Luau (or just the bar/pool) if you want to do that (expensive but we thought it was worth it)
CONS
****CONSTRUCTION**** (Thus the four stars) The construction was disclosed to us by the owners prior to booking, but because I didnt see but one negative-ish review about it from April 2012 we decided to book anyway (that person gave it 5 stars anyway). We figured that we are city people (downtown San Francisco Union Square LIVING people) how bad could it be?
It is bad.
Like jack hammers, welding, ten trucks backing up ALL DAY bad. ( 8 am-5 pm, Mon through Sat ) It could have just been the week we were there? But this is a major hotel being erected about 150 feet away from the condo. You can hear this on most of the beach and even way out in the water.
It was sort of awful at times, but the condo/beach/Maui are so nice, it made up for it and didnt really matter in the long run. If you are looking for quiet and the sounds of nature, I might not stay here until the hotel is done. But then it might be more crowded!
***I would stay here again!***

Randy and Julie's condo in Elua Village is like being in your own home--except you are on Maui with an ocean view. This condo is well maintained, very clean with every imaginable amenity provided and the location in Wailea is the best. Even the closets are outfitted with beautiful wooden organizers to make your unpacking a breeze. All of us in our three generational family enjoyed our week stay in this condo. Beach access, snorkeling area, walking path, tennis court and two pools are just steps away--and, The Shops at Wailea are minutes away. There was something for everyone. Randy communicates well before and after your visit too. Trust me--you won't be disappointed if you stay in this Elua Village condo--we certainly weren't. I highly recommend it!
August 2012
Our family of 4 was very impressed with the condo at Elua. Everything shown and stated in the description was accurate. Our children enjoyed the two beautiful pools, the Elua Beach only seconds away, and the serene floral grounds with pathways to explore. This particular condo has all the amenities anyone could ask for and fit our family of four extremely comfortably. The owners made sure our time in Elua was worry-free. We took advantage of their many recommendations to restaurants, snorkeling sites, activities, and local attractions. I would definitely recommend this property if you are looking for a great condo in which to stay - Elua is your spot!
June 2012
Our family of 4 adults, enjoyed our time in your beautiful condo. Randy, the owner was super easy to work with. Very timely on his response, discribe the condo unit perfectly. As previous owners of a Elua village unit, we found this unit very clean, the kitchen had everything you could think of! And the view was spectacular, large deck, TV's in each room, with large Flat screen in the living room. Easy access to the pool and beach, and the condo was very quiet. We look forward to renting this condo again in the near future and thanks again Randy and Julie for sharing your awesome Elua condo.

Randy and Julie's condo is in a perfect location. It takes just a few minutes to walk to the beach and it's a short drive to some excellent restaurants and shops. The unit is completely furnished and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed, and there are plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and 2 boogie boards to take to the beach. It was very easy and a pleasure to work with Randy. When our flight to Maui was cancelled and our vacation was cut short a day, Randy had already refunded my credit card for that missed night by the time we arrived home. He also provided us with a list of his and Julie's favorite restaurants that was very helpful. My husband, two sons and I would really like to return here in the near future and we would definitely recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Maui.

I would rate this property as very good, but there is only "excellent" or "good" to choose from. The property was as described and reflected in the photos. While the condos in Elua are getting old, this one was well maintained and clean. It has excellent amenities and was well provisioned. The location of the condo and the public areas are superb. Elua is a special place with a first rate Maui location, a wonderful beach and beautiful grounds. The vistas are also outstanding. The only drawback to our visit was the hotel construction next door. It was very dusty and while the noise level was minimal in our condo, the level at the pool was very loud on occasion. This was fully addressed by the owners prior to our rental, but it did detract from our stay at times. Speaking of the owners...they were candid, helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. In fact, in 40 years of renting, I can say that they were by far the best in communicating with us. What a pleasure the rental process was! All in all, aside from the temporary construction project, it was a relaxing stay at a marvelous location that is owned and operated by caring and very helpful people. I would recommend this unit to everyone!
March 2012
We recently returned from two weeks in Maui. We have been to Wailea many times, but this is the first time we have stayed in this unit. We were so happy with our experience that we have aleady booked to return next year.
A lot of thought has gone into making the condo accomodating and comfortable. Small touches were appreciated. We arrived late, os it was nice to find packets of coffee, soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and more before we coould ge to the store. This was greatly appreciated.
For those of us who like to cook, the well stocked kitchen was great. Every item needed was provided. The kitchen as well as the barbacue grill were immaculate.
The view from the lanai was great in the morning and the fact that it is covered from the sun made it perfect for morning coffee and paper,
.The arrangement of the bedrooms is very nice. The master bath and bedroom can be closed off from the other bedroom and bath which makes it great for privacy and noise if some guests are earlier risers than others.
The proximity to the pool, the foorpath and aparking are pluses.
In summery, the condo is comfortable, well appointed, and immaculate. We were veryh pleased with our stay.

Our thanks to Randy and Julie for sharing their wonderful vacation spot with us. Wailea Elua Village is beautiful...very meticulously maintained. The condo itself was equipped with everything we needed for a great vacation. We ate out, we cooked in, we swam, we read, we walked, we talked, we watched the sun set, and we enjoyed ourselves beyond words. We circled the entire island, and didn't find a prettier spot than Wailea! Randy did a great job of contacting us in a timely manner, keeping in touch, and supplying us with information to make our trip even better. We'd recommend this spot to anyone making a trip to Maui!

This was our 2nd visit to this property. This time for 3 weeks. Settling in was automatic. This condo has the feel of a well kept home, with close proximity to the club house, pool and beach. Correspondence with owners is immediate and professional. Their activity recommendations were helpful (especially the snorkel with Suzie @ Turtle Town). So many daily moments with family (representing 3 generations) were enhanced by the accomodations and Elua village. By the end of our stay this experience will be hard to repeat... but we'll be back to try! Highly recommended.

We were so pleased with our accomodations at this resort property and especially with this condo! So nice to be able to just grab a snorkel and a towel and head down the path to the beach. Easy access to the pool, beach and shopping! The grounds are so lovely, and we enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning. This condo is well-equipped, and spacious. Very clean and comfortable too. Would love to come back sometime!

We had a great time! The condo is in a great location with easy access to the beach and shops and is well provisioned. It was also a pleasure to work with the owners as they went out of their way to provide helpful information about the area and to be responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Randy and Julie,
Thank you so much for allowing us the luxury of staying in your beautiful Wailea Elua Village condo. We had a wonderful time. It was perfect for our family of five, 2 adults and three daughters ages 16,19 and 20. I enjoyed my morning coffe and our early evening cocktails on the lanai which had a beautiful view of the ocean. Your pictures describe the unit exactly as it appears. You have provided everything and anything one would need for their stay.
I will recommend your unit to anyone who is plannning a trip to the Wailea area. I loved the fact that it was walking distance to the upscale hotels but yet we could retreat to the peaceful tranquility of the Elua village. The pool was fantastic and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Your unit is within a very short walk to both pools as well as the ocean.
My daughters were extemely grateful for the internet access!!
I cannot thank you both enough for all of your help during the plannning process as well as when we arrived. The is our first experience with using HomeAway and I was very pleased with being able to communicate directly with the owners.
If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Maui, you can be assured that we would inquire into renting your unit again!
Thanks for everything!
Diane

Hi Randy
Gary, Philippe & I have been home for a few weeks now, and we are slowling adjusting to reality and settling in to our day-to-day routine. But truth be know, we left our hearts back in paradise and we are already talking about our return visit to Maui and to Elua Village.
Again Randy, thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. It is a real treasure and we are very happy that we made Elua Village and your condo in particular our destination choice. Your home is spacious, beautifully decorated, well appointed (we lacked for nothing, your kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary gadgets and toys), and oh so perfectly perched. We loved our ocean front view, our evening barbeques on the lanai, and being just a hop, skip and a jump away from the beach and pool. Within a minute, we were at the ocean's edge enjoying the warm waters, playing in the waves and taking in the colourful underworld (the snorkelling was just fabulous)! We also enjoyed the peaceful pace of life that Elua Village offered, such a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of our reality.
We also appreciated the top notch service and warm hospitality you extended to us Randy. We felt welcome before even stepping through the door.
What else can I say but thank you for everything! The 17 days we spent at your home were pure paradise and we will definitely be back in the not-too-distant future. Until then, take care and all the best!

We stayed in Unit 701 for about 12 days and loved
it. There were five of us (2 teens, 3 adults) and we
had lots of space. The unit is very well equipped
with great flat screen tv in lr, and tv's in the 2
bedrooms. The kitchen was probably the best
equipped condo rental that I have ever been in.
Tons of towels, including beach towels, cooler,
beach chairs, and a great lanai, with comfy
cusioned lounge and dining cgairs.
Big dining area and lanai tables to eat at. Big
Bathrooms, and great location. Mayve a 90 second
walk to the big pool/beach area. Easy 10 min walk
to Shops at Wailea, few more minutes to the Spa at
the Grand Wailea. Kihei is maybe a few minutes
drive. Lots of restaurant choices in Kihei and
Wailea.
We loved everything about this place- location
(Wailea, and its proximity to the pool and beach);
Elua- good pool, great Pavillion area, very good
beach for swimming and snorkeling; the unit- very
clean, extremely well equipped, good location in
the complex.
Wish we were there right now, and hope to return
soon.

Randy, we really enjoyed staying at your
place this winter. Elua is special with
its beach and surf. The condo was well
appointed, had all we needed and you
were very accomodating. The sunset view
from the lanai is special. We have
already booked the unit again for next
year as the family agreed that our
holiday was the best yet.

This condo was perfect for our family vacation. We spent 9 nights here in early November, and I highly recommend it. The condo is gorgeous, with a spacious lanai and fully-equipped kitchen. The location was ideal, with pool and beach only a short walk away (only 2 minutes with a toddler). Once the women discovered that The Shops at Wailea were within walking distance, we could shop to our heart's content. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We will definitely recommend this property to family and friends, and will return on our next trip to Maui.

Perfect perfect perfect! The location could not have been better -- walking distance to shops, restaurants, 30 seconds to both pools on the property, 45 seconds to the beach, and a beautiful view from the huge lanai! Not to mention, quiet all the time. The condo itself was COMPLETELY outfitted and beyond clean. Plus, the owners were incredibly responsive and helpful from suggesting restaurants to helping us find a babysitter! We've been to Maui 6 times and have stayed in various places and even in different places in Wailea and this was by far the best place we've stayed. We certainly hope to make it a tradition!

Wow!!! What a beautiful condo you have!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your "piece of paradise" in Wailea. The view was incredible and the condo was impeccable. Thank you so much for all the extras you provide in the kitchen as well - we put it all to good use. We will certainly be back to your condo - we're actually counting down the days already!

We just returned from our six night stay at this condo and had an absolutely fabulous time. Elua Village on the whole is exquisite. The grounds are immaculate and very beautiful. The condo is very close to the oceanfront pool which looked beautiful, but to be perfectly honest we never used it because the beach is only a few steps further and is even more beautiful. There is great snorkeling on this beach (Ulua Beach) and is perfect for both little and big kids to play in the waves. The condo itself is very comforable and spacious, and everything you need from kitchen gadgets to beach towels and sand toys are there. The only hiccup we had was that the lanai floor was not the cleanest, but the homeowners were very responsive and I honestly think this was more reflective of one cleaning staff rather than the homeowners or management company. The homeowner was very easy to work with, reliable, and followed through on everything in an incredibly timely manner. We had a great time and would recommend this unit to anyone, and hope to stay there again next year.

Hi Randy, sorry it has taken so long for us to respond. We arrived home on Thursday evening and then had a family emergency Friday morning. I am logging on to my e-mail for the first time in 2+ weeks! Our trip was absolutely wonderful. Your condo was lovely and we really enjoyed having the extra space. We have stayed at the Marriott next door a few times and I really wasn't sure if I would like the whole condo thing. I was wrong. You and Julie have such a great space and the furnishings were perfect. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Took your advice and caught the Willie K show at Mulligans-loved it and also had a great time zip lining, luau at the Marriott and driving to Haleakula. Sailed to Molikini with Trilogy and had a great day on the water. Spend some time at the smaller pool (because of the great hot tub) and usually had the place to ourselves. The complex was quite and so well maintained. We enjoyed walking around and admiring the beautiful flowers, trees, etc. You and your wife have been great to work with and we would choose your place again without hesitation. Collin (son) and Jill (his girlfriend) want to go back for Christmas. We told them perhaps next year. Thanks again for everything and if you are ever in the great state of South Dakota you have friends. Take care, Karen

What a great pick my wife made when she selected this condo for our 2 daughters to stay at during our vow renewal in Maui. We stayed right next door at the Marriott,but the truth be told, they got the better deal. The location was ideal, close to the beach but away from all the action. The condo itself was very well appointed and the pictures on the web site matched up well with reality. Very clean, nice view of the ocean from the lanai, well equipped kitchen and the Internet access was much appreciated. The pools and grounds at Elua Village
are immaculate and secuity was evident which also gave us peace of mind. The owner Randy was great to work with. He was very accommodating and responsive when ever we had questions or needed his advice. His list of favorite restarants was very helpful and and several other pointers very much appreciate. Bottom line, you could not ask for a nicer place to stay in Maui.
