Stayed here for a week. Previously familiar with Makena area, but have not stayed here before. Complex is great. Has at least two pools, fitness center, 2 tennis courts, and 4 pickle ball courts. The location of this unit is perfect. Right next to small beach with easy sandy entry. Turtles to the north every time we snorkeled. Only communicated with rental agent through email, but they were very responsive. Todd the manager was great. Unit has high end furnishings. Neighborhood is less busy than main tourist areas. Plus for me, but if you want to walk to resturant or bar, this might not be for you.

Hi, thanks for letting us stay at your place. A couple comments on the unit:
I believe you have a septic issue, or the building does. When the doors are closed up and you leave the unit for a few hours, it smells of sewage when you return. We put nothing down the disposal, so that is not was not the issue. We have never stayed in that building before, but it is evident in your unit.
You should think about moving to DirectTV Uverse instead of Spectrum. The boxes had to be rebooted multiple times in all rooms, and the controllers don't control the TV very well. Direct TV is a superior product and will control the TV with their controller. There is one fee that would support all the TVs and no limit on broadcasting like Spectrum does.There is no Adult options, and there is a parental control so that is covered also.
Otherwise, the unit was very nice and in a great location. We have stayed at Makena Surf about 10 times and I think your unit is one of the best.

The property and grounds are beyond beautiful!!
180 degree views from F-204 are spectacular!
The condo has all the amenities you could need.
Breakfast on the lanai every morning is a must.
All of the snorkel boats come to the rocks below the condo. Popular spot to see turtles.
I recommend keeping shades pulled during the hot part of the day. The Master can feel a bit warmer than the rest of the condo.
The Makena Surf is in a perfect location near restaurants and shopping.

From the sophisticated quality/decor of the unit, to the direct access and views to a beautiful beach - Makena Surf exceeded our expectations to say the least! Furthermore, the Coral Tree Residence management team provided excellent customer service, which made us feel right at home. Mahalo for the amazing stay and we will definitely return!

Just returned from a week long stay in this unit. It was absolutely perfect in every way. The location cannot be beat. The unit itself was very clean and had beautiful ocean views. I would definitely stay here again. The only minor annoyance was there are so many units that are under construction that the parking lot is full or workers and their trucks during the day. It can be difficult to find a spot close. The management company should make these trucks park in the further lots rather than force guests to park there.

This condo provided the perfect home away from home for us. Not only does the unit have gorgeous decor and lighting, but was immaculately clean and provided everything you could possibly need from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The views off the lanai are breathtaking and a perfect place for a sunset dinner. The property was also perfection... quiet, clean, gorgeous gardens with a large pool and easy access to the beach. Without question we will be back!

Our stay in Unit C-107 was wonderful! Whether enjoying the lanais, visiting the beach and snorkeling, or relaxing at one of the pools, we had the best time. Our unit was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed. Can’t wait to visit again!

We were impressed with this property during our entire stay. It's clean, has many amenities, quiet, the grounds are meticulously maintained, and the best part is the view. We couldn't get enough of the view from sunrise to sunset. We could see turtles from our balcony! We were so comfortable staying here. The location was close enough to restaurants, stores, and very close to many quiet beaches! We loved our vacation in Maui and would absolutely stay here again!

This condo is everything it says it is and more! It was spotless, had a fully stocked kitchen and the view was amazing! We enjoyed it so much, it was hard to leave. Not only was the view fabulous, the snorkeling right from the beach in front of the condo was our favorite snorkeling spot. So many fish and tons of turtles! An easy beach entry. We are experienced snorkelers and have snorkeled on many islands/places. This was the best!
The condo complex was beautiful and very quiet (we were there in September). We enjoyed the pool for relaxing late afternoon swims. The location was perfect for us on the island. Many restaurants and things to do in the area. Our meeting place for our snorkel trip to Molokini Crater was right down the road. There were also many other snorkel spots nearby. We love south Maui.
Bonus was our hosts Mark and his wife. They are top notch! Mark was very helpful with many things and communication was easy and replies were in a timely manner. He even went above and beyond when we left a few things at the condo!
We go to a lot of VRBO's and this was one of our best experiences (condo and host). I would not hesitate in the least to rent this condo again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I never write reviews. But the team at Makena Surf was truly outstanding. We’re usually pretty easy guests, but we were in Maui for our daughter’s wedding, and we found ourselves pretty needy. The Makena team bent over backwards to make our stay exceptional and helped us deal with some last minute stresses that ended up being “non-events” thanks to their flexibility, hospitality, and responsiveness.

Great view, but could not enjoy or go onto lanai after 3pm as there is no sun umbrellas or shades outside. Air conditioning was spotty.
Construction happening next door without notification.
Lanai was filthy, feet turned black from being on the deck/lanai.
No one answered phone at management office, but would try and text back. Poor service.

Outstanding condo for my wife and two adult daughters.
Very clean, well equipped and the two lanais are great - one looking over the ocean and one looking up to Haleakala.
Plus the beach is outstanding - turtles, fish, coral and not crowded. The condo included beach chairs and umbrellas.

Since we are natives of Los Angeles, we have been to Maui at least 20 times . Makena Surf is our favorite location. The beach is my favorite on the Island. This condo faces a gorgeous expansive view of Makena beach. The condo is beautiful renovated, comfortables, pristine & fully stocked. Peter is a great host! We’ll be back here!

Loved the location and condo! It was perfect for my family and our friends. It was spacious, clean, and the property was perfect with pools, tennis and a beach right next to our condo.
Would definitely recommend.

Our family of five loved everything about this beautiful condo in Makena: View, proximity to beach, cleanliness, privacy and comfort. We appreciated having our own BBQ on the lanai (other condos use shared BBQ's in pool area), along with a very well outfitted kitchen. Property management was super responsive and helpful in resolving a minor AC issue. We only wish we could have stayed here longer, and will definitely rent this unit again next time we visit Maui.

This condo was perfect for our family! We loved the location and amenities of Makena Surf -- especially the short swim to wonderful snorkeling. Everything was clean and the owners had thought of everything, even a garlic press in the kitchen, boogie boards, etc.! The beds are comfortable, the view is breathtaking, location of this condo is very quiet but central at the same time, and the owner, Jayne, is extremely helpful and responsive. We can't wait to come back some day!

I was able to celebrate my 60th birthday with family here at this gorgeous property in Makena. The property owner was amazing to communicate with. The resort itself was also very accommodating. The location can’t be beat. We snorkeled every morning just below the beach location of the property, used the swimming pool daily, and It was close to other daily activities like golf, luau, and shopping that we enjoyed. The views every morning and night were beyond what the pictures show. Kitchen was wonderfully stocked and the decor of the property was lovely. I believe you will love this property as much as our family did! It was perfect for every age. The lanai was a favorite resting and hangout spot. Having two patio spaces made the unit so roomy and private for three families to spread out and enjoy (there were 8 adults and 2 children). Everyone was so sad to leave, I have no doubt that one day we will return to this magnificent property! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The views were unbelievable. One of the best equipped and comfortable places we have ever stayed. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed playing pickleball (they have open play on Tuesdays and Thursdays). The beaches were close and easy to get to. Snorkeling, paddle boarding and boogie boarding were steps away. Will definitely come back. Thank you for sharing your amazing place.

We love this property and all of the amenities it has. The view from the lanai, looking right at the beach and the ocean was exactly what we look for in a beach holiday. The quiet beach was perfect for us, never crowded, and a perfect place to play in the water. The condo itself is lovely, clean and comfortable and had everything we could need. The bed was comfortable, also a must have, and we enjoyed the tennis facilities and the fact that we could borrow racquets and didn't have to pack or own. It's close to everything in Wailea, but not right in the crowded hotel area. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the quick response and assistance to our questions was very much appreciated. Thank you for a very enjoyable Maui holiday.

It’s a wonderful unit at McKenna Surf. Additionally, the property manager was Remely effective and attentive. My only disappointment was the softness of the bed and the master bedroom however, at the end of the day, I highly recommend this unit.

My family loved this location in Maui-we enjoyed the close proximity to both the beach and pool, as well as spending time out on the balcony. I did not realize when I’d booked that the rocky area to the left of the beach (you’ll need to snorkel along that rocky area out to the middle between the two beach areas) that this was Turtle Town (or something similar)!! The rafting snorkel tours would stop in daily to give their snorkelers a good view of the turtles because there is a natural cleaning station there- a special kind of fish who clean the turtles’ shells. My family loves snorkeling and had brought our own gear and it was great to be able to snorkel there whenever we wanted. The condo was great and just as described.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The property was exactly as advertised. The views were stunning from the lanai and we loved our time at the beach. No issues but confident Cindy and Nathan would have responded very quickly if we did based on our interactions with them.

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

Loved this condo! Wanted to stay at Makena surf for years and finally got there! A sweeping ocean view that feels like the water is coming up to your deck. Comfortable patio furniture and a great grill. Amazing beach with wave hopping and snorkeling. Upgraded kitchen, master bedroom and master bath.

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!!

We enjoyed an amazing vacation at the best place we've stayed in during our 25 years of visiting Maui. The condo provided everything we needed: great location, amenities, and stunning views! Our days began with pickleball followed by snorkeling and sunbathing at the beach. We explored various island restaurants and capped off our stay with a memorable sunset cruise. We're already looking forward to returning. Thank you, Cindy & Nathan

I cannot express how much we loved this condo and already cannot wait to go back!! The interior is upgraded, updated, comfortable (especially the beds and the sofa lounger) and has everything you need for a great vacation. I love that there were plenty of extras for everyone’s use such as condiments, spices, laundry detergent, towels, chairs, beach goodies, bath products, etc. The penthouse balcony is unbelievable. We spent every night watching the stunning sunset and then the beautiful stars from the comfy couches. Was very nice to have our own dedicated grill and the owner was very responsive and proactive in making sure we had everything we needed including a new gas tank super fast! The beach is great, you can’t get any closer! It’s one of the most popular snorkeling spots on the island with tons of turtles (the left side at the end of the rocks). We had to laugh when the snorkeling trip we paid for stopped at that spot, we could have swam home! I honestly don’t know why people stay at hotels when condos like this exist! We will definitely be back!! Mahalo Nui Loa!!

The condo was beautifully furnished and nicely situated for views of the beach and watching the sunset. The beds were comfortable and appointed. We were disappointed in the lack of any type of snorkel gear or boogie boards that we have had in other rentals. Also they could use more linens and glassware. There were four beach towels so we were laundering daily. There were three champagne flutes and two wineglasses in a condo for 4-6 people and two dish towels. We spent too much time doing laundry and dishes by hand because we didn’t have enough to go a few days.
