This was just a wonderful experience. The condo b106 was decorated is a fashion that really made you feel relaxed. The property was beautiful. The gardens were breathtaking. There must have been every color of hibiscus as well as many types of other tropical flower that I can't pronounce. It also has it own cute little herb garden. The beach... More

Our family of four rented the Makena Surf unit F208 through Destination Resorts for two weeks in March 2013, and we were blown away. The unit has been recently renovated (travertine floors, conrcrete counters in the kitchen, granite in the bath rooms). Electronic dimming system throughout with indirect lighting in all the ceilings and even on the lanai. Sliding glass... More

Aloha....Thank you for your kind review of unit F208 at Makena Surf. It is a lovely property and the fact that you can snorkle with turtles right in front of your condominium makes it even that more special. Mahalo, Matt Smith More

Location: Unit F104 is a ground floor, corner unit at the very tip of the property. Thus, it affords extraordinary views both west and north. The sunsets were stunning! I'd say we are 50-100' feet from the water (not the beach). Snorkelers come every morning to explore right off the rocky point in front of us.. A small beach is... More

This is our second stay at Makena Surf. After about a dozen trips to Hawaii we have decided that our favorite island is Maui and our favorite location on Maui is Makena Surf. The property has spectacular oceanfront views and lots of mature landscaping. It is very quiet and comforting. Unit E 303 has not been kept up to well... More

Stayed at Makena Surf in Jan 2013, found property to be very private, quiet, scenic, clean, immaculate grounds, tennis courts superb, pool areas exceptional. Will always look here first for future trips to Maui.

We didn't know what to expect since we had never rented a beach condo before. We were immediately surprised and delighted with the fine quality of this rental. Within two minutes, we were wishing we lived there! Our unit was newly redecorated with beautiful furnishings.

Aloha....Thank you for your review and I am so happy that you loved you first Maui condo experience. Vacationing in a private residence does have a lot of advantages, especially at an oceanfront property such as Makena Surf. I hope it is not too long before you can once again enjoy dinner while watching another beautiful Maui sunset. Mahalo, Matt... More

I almost dont want to say how wonderful this place was for fear of increasing its popularity, thus making it harder to book in the future! This was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. We got a ground floor unit that opened up into a grassy area directly adjacent to the beach. Ground floors are great... More

We just got back from spending 8 days at the Makena Surf, in unit B-206. I agree with every word in Pikiniki93's review, below. Destination Resorts and the Makena Surf are fantastic - B-206 is not. The unit has been for sale forever and its easy to see why it has not sold. Everything in it appears original (circa 1984),... More

We rented unit F-206. We loved the view, which looks directly out over volcanic rocks and a grassy area to the ocean, and which features the beach to the side. We also loved the location--far enough from the beach to be more quiet and serene, and yet a very short walk to the beach. Unless you feel the need to... More

Aloha.....Thank you for your kind review of Makena Surf. It is a wonderful option for those looking for a quiet luxurious beachfront property just on the outskirts of Wailea. And to be wished a fond aloha by a school of dolphins must have been a beautiful way to end your vacation. Mahalo, Matt Smith More
