"My family loved our 7 night stay in this lovely vacation home. Everything about this property is exactly as described and better. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor living with the doors open to the lanai and the awesome ocean views. The kitchen was so nice and well stocked we dined in for most meals….everyone agreed it was better than eating out. This corner, ground floor unit is convenient to the beach, pools, parking lot and is very peaceful and private with its lush tropical landscape. The condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There was plenty of room for my family of five to spread out and relax. And the added bonus of beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels was a game changer. They made it so much better for enjoying the lovely private beach. We even swam with turtles. So cool! Lastly the resort is in a great location, close to shopping and restaurants if needed. We all agreed it was the perfect place for our Maui vacation."

"Loved this location, the accommodations and the view was exactly what we had been looking for."

"My husband and I brought our children to Makena durf when they wer little we wanted to bring our young grandchildren to the same place and make beautiful family memories with them as well"

"This condo is fabulous with everything you need for a perfect stay on Po'olenalena Beach. It is a 60 second walk from the front door to the sand. Views from the huge wrap around lanai are superb. Kitchen is well equipped. Beds are comfy. Showers are fantastic. The host is responsive and helpful. Highly recommend the poke at Tamura's Liquor Stroke (yeah, I know, trust me), shaved ice at Ululani's, Tin Roof, and dinner at Nick's Fishmarket, Be warned that prices in Maui are much higher than the used to be, but that is no one's fault. After several stays in Maui we finally did the road to Hana for the first (and last) time. Overall, highly recommend Makena Surf C-201 for a perfect beach holiday in Maui."

"I have stayed at multiple locations throughout Maui and this is by far the best place I have stayed yet. Maria was great to work with and accomodated our every question. She is the best host we have worked with - ever! The view from the condo is second to none. Molokini crater is so close! The sunsets were beautiful. The condo is well stocked with everything you need to compliment your stay. The condo is very clean and the furniture is comfortable. You can open the entire sliding doors adjacent to the living room and let the trade winds fill the air or if you get too warm, you can close them and utilize the AC. The bed was very comfortable. My wife and I agreed the bed is more comfortable than the bed we currently sleep on. We mostly hung out and walked to the (uncrowded) beach below to swim and snorkel. Turtle Town is directly below the condo and I counted 7 turtles on one of my many snorkel excursions. We ate out for dinner every night and did not eat at the same place twice. Lots of restaurants within 10 minutes to choose from. Lots of room for parking and it is nice the property is gated. We felt safe the whole time we were there. I can't say enough about the greatness of this property, Maria, and her band of managers. It is truly a gem and we can't wait to return."

"We had a lovely time here. The condo is beautiful and the beach and pool access made it a dream vacation. We hope to visit again!"

"What a beautiful property! Everything about this unit was amazing! As soon as you walk in the front door all you can see is ocean! Unit was well stocked and had everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. Steps to the beach! Pool was great too. Would stay here again!"

"The unit was in great shape, the beach and views are one of a kind. Great sunsets, snorkeling and whale watching!"

"This is a beautiful condo, with a breathtaking view! A whale show greeted us out our lanai as we arrived, and we had a couple of other shows - with full breaching like I've never seen before! Both beaches are great - good for all ages - 7 to 77 in our case. And there are several other beaches very near by if you like variety. There weren't any sand toys or games or books for smaller kids, so bring your own or pick some up there. But there were books and other games for teens and adults, beach chairs, sun umbrella, plenty of towels, etc. making everything easy. The condo itself is very comfortable, and really gorgeous! We hope to come back soon!"
