We stayed at this property with our two daughters. I can't rank this property highly enough. Absolutely everything was perfect. The unit is spacious, clean, and very well appointed. The location is incredible - an easy walk to coffee, shopping and restaurants. Cara was very responsive prior to the trip and provided us with all the information we needed for smooth and easy access at arrival. We will definitely book again!

The suit is good, unit furnishings can use a little updating, beddings ( blankets, sheets are not the best ) and very limited in supply on everything.

We had such a great stay in this condo. Cara was super easy to work with and very responsive! The location was perfect, felt like we were in the middle of everything. This may sound silly but maybe my favorite part of our stay was how well equipped the condo was for enjoying life away from home. They provide all of the appliances, utensils, etc. plus all of the beach equipment and cleaning supplies. It really felt like home!! Our only wish was that we would have booked a longer stay! Thank you so much for a fantastic family vacation!!!

Absolutely loved our stay here. We could just hang out on the lanai while the kids ran around in the grass at sunset. Comfortable beds, couches and the unit had everything we needed, including boogie boards. We will be back!

Property was very clean and quiet. Very short car ride to get to ocean, beach, shopping, and dining. Pool area had plenty of lounge chairs and additional seating at tables in the shade. We would definitely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, super quiet, nice comfortable pool. Unit was very clean and spacious for two couples and an infant. The AC runs off a 6hr max timer switch. Would be better if it went 8-10 hrs. We did have an issue with AC not set low enough and they were quick to come and provide the remote so we could lower it to 71 when running.

Great location in Wailea and super close to shops and about a 7min drive to Kihei food trucks. The pool was an added bonus for those traveling with little ones. Overall a great location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Palms at Wailea and would definitely recommend a stay here to family and friends. This particular unit is very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well stocked and the owners also had beach chairs, towels, and a snorkel and mask for us to use. The unit is also located in a great spot in the community. It is quite close to the pool, but people cannot look into your windows from the pool. Even when there were families at the pool, we did not hear any noise from it. The air conditioning works very well. We also commented to each other several times that the Palms at Wailea is located in a great place to enjoy the Wailea and Kihei area. Communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish. We moved to the Palms at Wailea after spending six nights at our Westin Villa timeshare in Ka’anapali. We both felt more comfortable at the Palms condo than at the Westin. We also found it more peaceful.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property worked well for three adults and two children. Plenty of space. The kitchen had everything imaginable one might need. Almost too much. The owners use this property a lot. They had personal items and clothes everywhere. Too much. They even left their car in the parking spot we were supposed to use. There is a hose near the front door to rinse off beach sand, but the handle had been removed, so we couldn't use it. That being said, the unit was clean and in a great location. Bello was great to work with. They let us get in early on check-in day which was wonderful since our flight arrived at 10am. I would use Bello again. I would recommend this unit if you are bringing children.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Palms condo for our 26th wedding anniversary. Everything was amazing. The condo was well equipped and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and having coffee in the mornings. We enjoyed the pool and the beautiful grounds as well. The location was convenient to beaches, walking trails, shopping, and restaurants. We loved it!

We weren’t blown away by this place. After checking in we found signage and instructions stating that no floaties or toys could be brought to the pool, even a ball to throw around was against the rules. There were also many (many!!) signs about no sand, the a/c, the shades and more. It made it difficult to relax and enjoy our time. In addition, we found a broom but no dustpan to help cleanup the sand. This might be a great spot for someone who won’t go to the beach and doesn’t have children, but it wasn’t a good fit for us. The facilities were older and could really use an update.

We loved staying here. It was a comfortable home base for our family vacation. The unit was clean and we appreciated the walled off second bedroom. Sitting on the patio in the morning was great, lots of fun birds to watch. AC was strong and nice. Had to rent a lot of equipment because most stuff in the unit was broken, which we were warned could be the case beforehand. Owner communicated lots of great info prior to our arrival, but once we checked in we couldn't reach anyone at all. The fridge wasn't getting cold even after 24+ hours on max, so we were worried about food spoilage and wondered if it would ever get cold (it did, after quite some time) but no response from multiple attempts to connect w/ the owner to discuss the issue. Overall we enjoyed it and would visit again, but I would like to try a downstairs unit for the larger patio and bedroom access.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was such a beautiful condo loctaion with sunny lanai in the morning and beautiful sunsets at night. All the amenities and comforts we needed. Easy parking outside near the front door. Spacious enough for my husband, myself and our 30 year old daughter there for a four day destination wedding event. Loved the master bathroom size and large kitchen (thou we did not eat a meal there, just breakfasts). The light in this lovely condo was my absolute favorite thing, the many windows. Wish we were still there, #1503!!!! My compliments and thanks to the owner of that unit. The grounds and pool looked lovely too, but we never used the pool due to the demands of the 4 day wedding events. Thanks also, to Toni and Abigail at Rentals Maui who were always so pleasant to speak with, and Abigail even came up to the condo to assist with cable tv issues. This will be where we stay on our next visit to Wailea, Maui for sure.

We have stayed here a few times and we keep coming back. Private with beautiful views and perfect for my husband and I. Owners make it so easy and comfortable. Thank you for another great vacation in Paradise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Palms. The property is well maintained and the unit was very clean and quite spacious for our family of four. The kitchen is adequately stocked to prepare small meals. The views are beautiful from the lanai and you have small glimpses of the ocean. We had to reach out to the property management and they were highly responsive. The AC units weren’t working and they were repaired promptly. As others have mentioned, the second bedroom has sliding shutter type doors which do not really act as a sound barrier to the living room. Not a problem for us, but could be for some. We highly recommend this property!

This was our 13th winter trip to Maui and our 11th time staying at this condo. It really seems like a second home to us. There have been many upgrades over the years (new kitchen, master bedroom, master bath, living room & lanai furniture) and it's hard to think of how it could be improved. The pool area is great (and very close by) although we spend most of our time on the beaches from Wailea to Kaanapali. The condo complex is beautiful and is immaculately groomed and cleaned daily. The lanai is huge and we have had 15 people for an outside dinner without crowding. And it's great having your own BBQ! We hope to return for many more vacations. Rob & Fran from Victoria, BC

The condo is fantastic, it was our second time in the unit. The location is perfect, overlooking the pool while having morning coffee and being able to quickly access the condo from the pool to refresh a drink or grab snack made the trip even better. We loved it and hope to be back.

This is the second consecutive year we have stayed in this unit and I can safely say we will return again. We have stayed at the Palms many times and the location/view in unit is just unmatched. The amount you pay for an entire condo with all the amenities is a total bargain compared to a hotel/resort and we love all the extra space. Having the option to do laundry and pack up lunches for the beach is wonderful, the full kitchen is well equipped, free (reserved) parking to come as you please is a breeze, and everything you need for the beach is there. You can see both the pool and ocean from the lanai, and most everything in Wailea is walkable. Highly recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation rental was lovely. Just some info for future renters. The bedroom with the twin beds can be open to the living space or closed via shutter. So sound does travel even when the shutters are closed. The only issue we had was the pullout couch mattress. My son found it to be uncomfortable. The community is clean and beautiful, the pool is gorgeous and we used it several times which I don’t usually do. Overall, the home was in nice shape, clean and had everything we needed. We especially liked the lanai which sat 6 comfortably for mealsAnd had two chaise chairs. The view is gorgeous!!! I would stay again if not using the pullout couch.

This place is even better than the pictures!! Right in the middle of a beautiful upscale neighborhood, it feels more like a home than an apartment. The instructions on everything are crystal clear by the owner who has put in a lot of love in this home. We rven used to cook our breakfast everyday the kitchen being well- equipped. The air conditiong is very good, the lanai has great views too! 2 baths in a 1 bedroom is a definite add on!! If ure planning to stay in Maui, this place is a cherry on the cake!

We were a group of 2 adult couples who stayed for a week. I would highly recommend this option to anyone. This unit is spacious and very nice, great common areas to eat and hangout. Kitchen is stocked and we cooked at home most nights. The lanai is amazing as is the community pool, where we went frequently. Unit was fully stocked with plenty of towels and beach chairs plus coolers. No umbrella. The location in Wailea is great. Quick drive to Kihei for groceries or anything else. You are a short drive to 2 beaches and there is good free parking at both. You could also walk to the closer beach if you want a longer walk but it would be hard to carry beach gear. A few small clarifications. There is no grill at this unit even though it is in the photos. But the Palms has added communal grills throughout the property and one is right nearby so it was easy enough to use. Also the lanai is wonderful but it does look out over the perimeter road so you will hear traffic passing by, but this was never an issue for us. I would definitely stay here again!

I’m so glad I chose Wailea. So different from the West side of the island. Ulua beach ( only minutes away) is great for snorkeling by the reefs ( seen turtles every day), Wailea beach is clean, beautiful, and never too crowded. nice walk by the shore . Property was very clean, spacious. Loved the idea of opening the windows in the kitchen so you can sit on the bar stools at the patio enjoying your breakfast. Great view. Highly recommend. Our host Jillian was terrific and had the quickest response to any question I had.

This was a beautiful and clean property that was great for our family of 6. The owners were always quick to respond and were incredibly helpful. We had never been to Hawaii before and the owners truly made our stay and trip the best it could be. The view was great and the property is very close to many great things. I could not recommend this property enough. Should we be able to make it back to Maui again we will definitely stay here again.

Convenient condo for running around as it is right at entrance. This was great for us because we seldom leave the Wailea area, and why would you, it's the best area of the Islands. The lanai was great, shaded and cool with just enough sun, surrounded by healthy lush bamboo, great for eating, sitting and napping.

We loved our stay. The condo was perfect. The location is great in that it is close to beaches, shopping and dining. The condo itself is in a quiet and relaxing location. The pool is beautiful. Most of all the condo was the perfect place for our family. It is beautiful and very comfortable. Cara was great in keeping us updated and providing great information on things to do in the area. Looking forward to our next visit.

Palms at Wailea is a gem and this condo was absolutely perfect. We also read that the owners were donating 2024 profits to help victims of the Lahaina wild fires which is extremely generous and commendable. Our experience was top notch all the way around. We loved the coolers, boogie boards, beach toys, and how well the condo was stocked. Thank you!! A++++

I absolutely love arriving at a VRBO property to find that it is better than described in the online listing. This is a wonderful property and sure to please anyone booking the condominium. While not beach front, it has a really nice view of the ocean from the patio and within 10 minutes walk you are on the beach. Hop in your car and you can be at ten different beaches in 10 minutes. We liked being at the more private location of the Wailea Palms yet so close to the beaches, restaurants and shops. The host responds immediately as well. As a final note, definitely go to the Maui Flatbread Company in Paia and go explore Makawao! Have fun!
