Fabulous location and great grounds. Beach is not super deep but has great shade early in the morning. The pools are great. Snorkeling to the north is really good too!

My husband and I were looking for a place to really relax after several major health challenges followed his retirement last summer. This condo fit the bill perfectly; it's a great value for how close to the beach you are. We spent most days reading and relaxing on the beach or lanai. The view from the lanai is a major plus.... lawn, flowers and palm trees, let alone the tropical birdsong.
The owner was very responsive to inquires and bent over backwards to accommodate our particular needs. We appreciated the restaurant recommendations, though we ate in for most meals.
The beach towels, chairs and umbrella were greatly appreciated, esp. the box of snorkel gear by the front door. The water was a little clearer at Po'olenalena Beach for snorkeling, but we still enjoyed being able to walk down to the beach below the condo for reading and going in the ocean.
I enjoyed the sunset from the small pool nearby. Hopefully next time we visit, the pool by the beach will be open! It looked like a great place to spend an afternoon reading.
Our only excursion was a stargazing tour atop Haleakala. It was nice to let someone else do the driving, then enjoy a spectacular sunset and night sky.
Let's just say I'm already planning another trip within a year or two. Highly recommend this unit!

We loved our stay at Ekani in Wailea, Maui. Six days of beautiful weather, we couldn't of had more fun and relaxation.

This is a very nice property in a nice location within the Ekahi complex. It is a short walk to the beach and pool. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. If I had any advise or negative feedback for the owner it would be that the furniture is getting very tired and could use updating. The mattress in the bedroom is old and sagging and the two chairs in the living room are so worn out that the cushions bottom out when you sit in the chairs, you might as well be sitting on the wood frames, they are extremely uncomfortable and impossible to sit in for any period of time.

We've stayed at several condos in Ekahi over the years and this spot was by far our favorite, as it was on the Quiet side (!) and steps away from the pool/beach. Communication with the hosts was flawless. Well appointed and comfortable home. We are still relishing the fabulous relaxation vacation that we had, in no small part due to this great home base!

5D is an awesome condo. Very close to the beach and pavilion at Ekahi Village. A great value in Wailea.
Everything you need is there from the kitchen to the closet with beach chairs, umbrella and even boggie boards. You can hear the waves from the lania. Beautiful view also. The bed is super comfy and the condo is big.

This location is very easy to walk to the beach and 2 pools on the property (the awesome quite closer one isn't even mentioned), BEST place to stay if you like to actually swim IN the waves, and have chairs to watch sunset at night. Great large swimming pavilion, we were able to have several condos worth of family gather and eat there together. The communication with the owner ahead was very comprehensible and very quick responses. WILL stay here again.

We had a great stay - the proximity to the beach and pavilion, as well as the general location in Wailea (close to shops, restaurants) was awesome. It was a breeze to walk just a few minutes to the beach, or to the pool if that's your thing. We enjoyed having access to multiple grills and really enjoyed cooking in the evening, then watching the sunset at the pavilion. The unit itself was spacious for 2 people and exceptionally clean. Bonus - the bed was very comfortable and the water pressure was strong.

We really enjoyed this property! It was clean and comfortable for my family. 5D has a stocked closet with all the beach essentials. We were a very short walk from the main pool and beach and a short walk from the start of the Wailea beach path. My small boys loved the pool! John has been very helpful communicating through email. We would stay here again when visiting Wailea!

The location is absolutely amazing, it really is a 2 minute walk to the pool and beach access. The complex and property are wonderful, we have been to the complex before and will definitely be back. The unit was perfect for our family (2 adults and a 1 year old). The bed was so comfy and we all got such good sleep because of it!

Typing this review just makes me want to get right back to Maui & this condo.
The listing & pictures are very representative of the unit, which was perfect for what our family was looking for. Having both the sofa sleeper and the single ottoman was a big hit with our kids...not having to share a sofa bed!! Boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella all got used daily. Overall the condo's in very fine shape, just a few blinds that could use some maintenance/replacement.
While you don't have the ocean view from the lanai, in a very easy couple minutes stroll you're at the Pavilion area overlooking the ocean...just a another few steps & on the silky smooth beach sands.
The Pavilion/pool area was a huge plus overall for our stay. Great relaxed spot to eat dinner and enjoy the sunset. There were always several other groups of people using the area, but it never felt crowed at all.
Great place overall!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in 5D! Wailea is such a wonderful area and Ekahi village is very conveniently located to the shops at Wailea for dining and shopping. As described in the rental listing, the location of this unit is terrific, quiet and an easy stroll to the pool/beach. Parking close to the condo was never a problem. This was probably the most well stocked VRBO rental we’ve stayed at, there wasn’t any detail missed. We enjoyed how spacious 5D was and one of the best parts….no bugs! It can happen in tropical locations but our 5 nights were free from creepy crawling things. If you’re considering booking just do it. It’s a great value for what you get! John (an owner) was very good about quick replies to all of our communications.

My wife and I stayed at this unit for a week during our March 2023 visit to Maui and highly recommend. It was clean, spacious, and very close to the beautiful beach. John was very communicative / responsive regarding check-in, check-out, and questions we had. There were also unexpected perks like beach chairs, beach towels, and a little cooler which made our beach going a real treat. We will definitely plan to book this unit for a future trip!

My husband and I stayed here Dec 29 , 2022 - Jan 7, 2023 and I can’t recommend this place enough! Unit 5 D at Ekahi Village was in the absolute perfect location in Wailea. For start, this particular unit in this complex, is literally steps from the pool and beach access. Also, it is within walking distance or short 3 minute drive to the Shops at Wailea, which was great when you wanted to do a little shopping and get some dinner. Also, the beach access allows you to go right down to the Walk at Wailea, the paved sidewalk that runs along the beach in front of all of the resorts, which was so cool! Regarding the unit itself, these owners have taken SUCH CARE to have everything that you would need in this condo. For the beach, there are chairs, boogie boards, noodles, coolers, beach towels, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, utensils, glasses everything. Also, they had soap for the clothes washer and bathroom body wash, shampoo etc. I’ve found that the little details are so important to make a Vrbo stay 5 star! The unit has good air conditioning systems, which I’m sorry, I totally appreciate and definitely want! The king sized bed was so comfortable and we loved that there are 2 bathrooms in this unit. The communication with John and Mike was so great. They went out of their way to send recommendations and tips and just overall, made this process so easy. I’ve done a lot of VRBOs and it is so much better if the owner is directly taking care of everything about a rental. In short, I would not hesitate to choose this place and I will definitely stay here again when on Maui. I’m glad I chose Unit 5D in Ekahi Village and to stay with this owner team!
January 2023
My family of 5 stayed at this unit over Christmas break and it was perfect! The Ekahi complex has gorgeous gardens, property, pool and beach and the unit was exactly as described and pictured. They even had beach gear, snorkeling gear and two extra foldout beds all of which we and the kids loved. We hope to be back soon!

My wife and I spent 3 nights at John and Mike’s condo. The unit is well stocked with everything you need for a vacation on Maui. The complex grounds are absolutely beautifully kept. This unit is a very short walk to the beach and pool area near the beach. It is also a very short drive to other great snorkeling beaches in the Wailea area. The unit would be perfect also for a family of 4 as it has 2 full baths. Communication with the owners was easy and check in was as well. Go wherever you want to on the island to visit but Wailea by far appears to be the best place to stay unless you just love fighting for parking and crowds which are all a much bigger issue at the northern beaches. I wish we had scheduled a few more days to enjoy the unit but that gives us a reason to return.

This rental was perfect for our family of 4, which includes 2 teens. The pull out couch and another small pull out both worked well together in the living room, no problem, and we felt we had plenty of space overall. the 2 bathrooms are great also. the place is really well equiped, including loads of things for snorkeling and chilling on the beach. We used the snorkles and the beach umbrella, cooler, and chairs a lot. and the snorkle noodles! the location is also excellent, as it is so close to the beach. the beach itself is beautiful and perfect. it was not very busy when we were there. there are spots to snorkle. its warm and super safe waters, and it is relaxed and public; meaning it does not feel like its taken over by a huge resort, which was really cool. great long walks in both directions too. great location and comfortable/easy place. thank you John!

The condo is wonderful! The Ekahi Village complex is in a perfect location on Wailea and the 5D condo unit is in a very convenient spot within the complex. It is such a peaceful and calm area. This unit is within easy walking distance to the Wailea Beach Path, Shops at Wailea, and many great beaches and resorts.
It’s a short walk from the condo to Keawakapu Beach. It was so nice to have the beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, towels, and more provided for our use at the condo. It made our beach days that much more enjoyable. The beach is not crowded and there is a lot of space to throw a football or frisbee, make sand castles, and play in the ocean.
Everything in the condo feels very clean. The master bedroom is huge and there was plenty of space for all our luggage. The king bed is very comfortable. It is nice to have 2 bathrooms in the unit. The pullout beds (sofa and ottoman) worked well for our 11 and 13 year old during our week-long stay. Air conditioning is available for use, but the tradewinds were such during our time that we never turned it on and enjoyed sleeping with the windows open every night.
The main pool area is very pleasant and the pool water is warm. It is a nice area to sit and relax. There are plenty of tables under the pavilion by the pool where families and friends can play games, eat meals, and just have a nice time hanging out.
We can’t wait to return to Wailea Ekahi 5D. It was such a nice place to spend our time and a perfect family vacation spot to hang out, relax, and enjoy Maui.

It's always concerning when booking a place using pictures as your guide but unit 5D was true to the pics on VRBO. Great communication with the owner and manager was also a big plus. We were a family of 4 and everything worked out great...beach chairs, umbrella, body boards, etc. We wouldn't hesitate to request this unit again when visiting Ekahi Village. Thank you for a great vacation!

Perfectly-appointed condo in perfect Wailea location on perfect beach. This clean and updated one bedroom, two bathroom unit can fit a small family, so the two of us reveled in its spaciousness. Easy walk to beautiful pool and pavilion area, and then right out to the beach. Convenient to the Shops and Kihei for all food shopping needs. Amply supplied with kitchen gear and paper supplies. Pondering our next visit already!

The unit was everything we were led to expect. It is very well stocked with everything one needs in Maui.
Beyond the unit itself what we liked most was the atmosphere around the pool. There were lots of families and couples enjoying themselves. Everyone was super friendly.
We will definitely return here on our next visit.

My husband and I booked a last minute Hawaii vacation/honeymoon/1st anniversary stay and the owners were very accommodating. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights, but ended up booking the ground floor unit for an extra 2 nights. That’s how much we loved this unit! Wish we could have stayed longer and definitely would come back! The pool area was great too, very private. Overall we had an awesome stay!

The property was clean, spacious for five of us (two adults, three teens), well furnished, and in a great location close to both Wailea and the main strip in Kihei. The rental is located in a nice complex with access to an outdoor kitchen/eating area that is poolside and next to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this condo in late April. The location cannot be beat, it is steps away from a beautiful beach with a nice boardwalk in one direction, and a nice beach walk in the other direction. The pool and a very nice pavilion is also steps away. The unit is clean and very comfortable. The owners provide all you need for the beach - umbrella, beach chairs, and beach towels. We felt bad for people staying in hotels who had to purchase or rent these items!
Owners are helpful and check-in/check-out is seamless. I definitely recommend this condo.

We visit Wialea every May. Perfect location walk to stores, beaches, and restaurants.
The trade winds in the evening was wonderful. Opening up the house and the scents of plumeria is amazing
A must visit, IBS cosmetology and massage school for full body massage and facial at a great price Went 3 times this stay.
