Stayed at Makena Surf for 10 days in January for the second time. Stayed with friends in C105 which is a two bedroom condo that is well appointed and has a nice ocean view without being right at the waters edge. We really like this unit and love the property as it is very private, quiet and extremely well maintained... More

We had a wonderful time at Makena Surf. We stayed in unit G202 which had a wonderful view of the ocean and the small beach. It's a quiet place to relax and enjoy Maui. We needed to sleep five so we had to use the sofa bed in the living room. The bed was so horrible, my son chose to... More

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.

Makena Surf is beautiful any time of year, but you're right - you just can't beat it during humpback whale season!

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
