You could not wish for a better position if you like beach, great surf, Humpback Whale watching from your patio & great views across the bay. The grounds are very well tended with a nice size pool. The condo was spacious, clean and extremely well equipped. All in all a great place, especially for watching whales swim past. More

We just spent the most wonderful vacation on Maui at Makena Surf! We stayed in B106!. We had a beautiful 2 BR 2BA ocean front ground floor condo. The view was incredible! B106 was a spacious unit that easily accomodated our party of six. The two bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and luxurious. The kitchen had granite counter tops and... More

My husband and I spent four nights at Makena Surf at the tail end of a two week holiday celebrating our 25th anniversary. While the kitchen was recently upgraded and was fabulous in our unit (F304), the living room furniture was pretty old and I almost felt like putting a sheet over it before I could sit on it -...

F204 has to be the best condo at Makena Surf. It is a little piece of heaven. A 2 bedroom, 2 bath corner unit, it gives you views from 2 sides and every room except the second bedroom. There is a lanai off the master bedroom and the main one off the open kitchen, dining, living room. Spectacular scenery!! Beautiful... More

We stayed in B207 and thought it was fabulous! The condo was very clean and appeared very updated. I didn't see anywhere that was any closer to the water and the views were incredible. The pool outside our condo was also very nice and never crowded. (With family staying at the Fairmont [half mile down the road], we had the... More

We spent almost 2 weeks at Unit B-207 and while the view and location were excellent, the unit itself was quite dated and the carpeting was worn and disgustingly dirty. When we complained and actually sent pictures of the carpeting, the initial response was "we just had the carpet cleaned". In my opinion, the carpeting needs to be replaced and... More

We just returned from a second honeymoon at the Makena Surf in Maui and it was fantastic. I lived on Maui for a few years and never knew it could be this nice. The condo was private, quiet, well appointed and just steps away from a sandy beach and good snorkeling. Each unit has its own BBQ and a very... More

We have been staying here for years; love it. Make sure you book with a service that guarantees the unit. Avoid buildings A & C, which back up to the road. G building is the best value. Both beaches are excellent, and the snorkeling can't be beat. This is for people who do not need a restaurant on site, or... More

We enjoyed whale-watching from the lanai as we had our morning coffee every day. The grounds are pretty. We used the barbeque almost daily and we also enjoyed fresh herbs from the herb garden. It's a short walk to the beach and the water was not too rough when we were there. Plenty of sea turtles and fish in the... More
