Reviewer Comments:
The Ma'alaea condos are situated right on the beach, the surf no more than 60 feet away! This is really unusual and delightful. They have a pool, that we never used... the Pacific Ocean is literally 60 feet away, although the sandy bottom provides little incentive for fish and other creatures to congregate. For that you have to go elsewhere. The condo is nicely situated in a fairly quiet neighborhood, with a first-class local bakery within walking distance. Restaurants are a bit further away, but that is quite OK. Long walks on the beach can get you to such places, or drive; Kihei is full of good and interesting eating-places, no more than 10 minutes from the Condo.The Condo is in itself, a bit "old Fashioned", although nothing essential was missing; the bed was good, the water hot enough, the TV a tad small, but well insulated both in terms of temperature and noise, and with a view "to die for". It simply does not get any better than that!The one thing we found missing was an opportunity to charge our electric rental car, i.e. "old fashioned". We heard that some other condo complexes do provide 110 V outlets that the charger in the car could have used. Not so at the Ma'alaea resort. An on-site manager actually came out to chastise me that I was attempting to find a "hot" outlet. We had the note displayed, approving our parking privileges, so there was nothing circumspect about what we were doing. No level II charger is needed, but due to the lack of public chargers on Maui, the level I charge could have done all kinds of good.Would I recommend the place to friends and or family? Absolutely, but I would also recommend that they go "old fashioned" and rent an internal combustion car.

This is our third stay at Ma’alaea Surf and we never want to leave. Malea corrects any issue quickly and always available. H2 is our second beachfront condo stay and you just can’t beat the peace and comfort. We had to cancel our trip last year due to Lahaina fires but returned this year to support Maui’s recovery. We will be back! Mahalo!

It is a beautiful location and lovely comfortable condo. We did have to deal with a leaking toilet but the plumber was able to fix when he made it over to us. It ought to be noted somewhere that there’s no actual oven, just a convection/microwave oven combo. Our chocolate chip cookies weren’t very good. Having a manual there would have been really nice. Also the cooktop is induction which could have used a manual or “cheat sheet” also! A retractable shade screen on the lanai would make the lanai more useable in the hot Hawaiian afternoons.

The beach is a perfect spot for lounging or long walks daily. Every restaurant is close. This is our favorite place to go in Maui.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The condo was clean and comfortable. The It had a lot of extras that we enjoyed (boogie boards, sand chairs, pickleball set, snorkel equipment). I love the location, where you are a short drive to everything on the island and close to the ocean. The property is quiet and Sugar Beach is always practically deserted, compared to the very busy beaches on the west side of the island.

The Maʻalea Surf Resort is the perfect cross between a large resort and a house rental. Being right on the ocean was perfect so that you could experience the Ocean while also having access to the pool and your room. The kids loved being able to play and make friends as all the unit face the pools and other kids could be seen playing. The grounds were immaculate constantly maintained. There is an ABC store with in walking distance, or a short 5 minute drive into Kihei to go to the grocery stores.

Between the pool, shuffleboard, boogie boards, rented paddle boards, tennis court and pickleball courts we were well entertained! It was a perfect location. The short walk to the farmer's market, bakery/coffee shop, ABC store, and the best shaved ice ever was a definite plus. Drinking coffee and watching outrigger canoes ever morning was one of my favorite parts of our stay. Thank you Ma'alaea Surf Resort for a magical place to celebrate 50 years of marriage with family!

We have stayed at maalea surf resort a handful of times, each time in a different unit. D-10 is a great unit and the view is definitely the highlight. Having that unobstructed view makes for the perfect morning / evening to just sit and watch the waves. This unit had everything we needed. We found chairs, umbrella, boogie board, day use cooler and ice packs in the freezer. These things are always appreciated, we added some sand toys to the collection for the next family. A few small flaws. The carpets both up stairs and downstairs both had large stains likely due to water? Looked like it could have come in from the main slider downstairs. Also we were informed by a sign to be careful because ants were common. We definitely did have some ant issues in the unit despite being very cautious with food and cleanliness. We saw them most in the bathroom actually. These things did not take away from our love of this place at all however just some notes to make it the perfect unit. We love the location of the unit. We can head to anywhere on the island without spending too long traveling. A fun highlight for us was walking down the beach a short way and getting breakfast at the sugar beach bakery and walking back. There is also shave ice, a fruit stand and a little store.

Loved staying in this unit. Great location and amazing view. Having air conditioning was a huge plus. Also, there was everything you could imagine in the kitchen. It was great to be 15 to 30 minutes from all the tourist areas on the island. Would stay here again.However, the unit needs to have a serious deep clean. I'm allergic to dust and as soon as I stepped through the door I was sneezing. I noticed that the air conditioning vents had not been cleaned in a very long time. There was a thick layer of dust on all the vents including the air filter. I had to climb up and clean them. I hung my clothes in the closet and when I took out one of my dresses the entire bottom of my dress was covered in dust bunnies. Also, the air conditioning unit was very loud, almost like it was about to die. The other issue was the bugs. I know it's Maui and there are bugs, but it was so bad I couldn't eat outside. The property needs to be sprayed more often.Considerations for the Future:It would be nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. You could easily put one in the "cleaning equipment" closet by the bathroom and put the cleaning equipment in the second closet in the bedroom. Also, the shower faucet will need to be replaced soon.

We love the easy beach access and lot of time playing and walking on the beach. The location is so central to many other beaches and activities as well. Management is very responsive to questions and needs. We will definitely be back and recommend to family & friends.Some of our favorite highlights of the trip - Almost daily shave ice at Ululani's (seriously the best!), malasadas at Sugar Beach bakery, dining at Kehei Cafe (at Maui Coast hotel location) and Cafe O'Lei, very family-friendly snorkeling at Ulua Beach multiple days (arrive early!) where we saw a huge variety of fish, many turtles and even an octopus. Ulua Beach is also a beautiful beach to hang out and swim.

We've visited Maalaea Surf Resort several times during the last five years. We like the resort's location at an uncrowded, very walkable and extensive beach, it's low density architecture and good landscaping. We had previously stayed at units C4 and mostly H2, which we liked very much. We generally enjoyed our last stay at unit A2, esp. it's beachfront setting. But unlike H2, it did have an unpleasant moldy odor, which persisted even with strong cross ventilation. We suspect that it came from the carpets covering most of the floor. We would also suggest to improve the lighting for better reading, next to the sofa. The tagging with reminders was a bit overdone, and for our taste the unit was somewhat overdecorated. But everything considered, we would recommend it to friends.
