Welcome to Makena Surf F-302. This private 3-bedroom, 3-bath oceanfront condo awaits your romantic island get-away or fun-filled family vacation. At 1640 square feet of indoor living space plus an additional 810 square feet of outdoor lanai space, this home allows you to bring the family without being on top of each other. Or bring two other couples and score a great value compared to renting 3 hotel rooms. Our condo is located on a corner as close to the ocean as you can get and there are ocean views from almost every window. If you have a good arm, you could throw a ball from our lanai into the ocean. And we are a 5-minute walk from two quiet beaches with some of the best snorkeling on Maui. Check out the Beach Cam at the Makena Surf.org website and you will see how beautiful Po'olenalena beach is.

Our home comfortably sleeps 6 with generous-sized rooms and high ceilings. Two bedrooms have king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms and doors that open out to a lanai. The unique corner primary bedroom has 2 patio doors that lead to different ocean-front lanais. Imagine listening to the sounds of the ocean to lull you to sleep every night. You don't even have to get out of bed to enjoy the ocean view! The third bedroom has two single beds that can be made into a king-sized bed and has a mountain view. A queen-sleeper sofa makes up the rest of the accommodations. Central air-conditioning and a full sized washer and dryer are included as well as 3 televisions, (one with surround sound and Apple TV) a DVD player and Wi-Fi internet access to provide our guests with all of the comforts of home. The kitchen is stocked with most gear a gourmet cook needs and has a dishwasher and full-sized refrigerator/freezer so you can dine-in with views better than most restaurants.

Watch both the ocean and TV from the L-shaped couch in the great room or have a family meal at the 6-seat dining table. Sample the vistas from each of the lounge chairs on the lanai and try to decide which one has the best view. It's a tough life but someone has to live it! Even the kitchen has an ocean view so if you decide not to dine out, you can watch the waves while you cook. Or you can fire up the barbecue and eat on the lanai while looking for turtles and whales.

Luxury amenities include: Bosch appliances, beautiful quartzite countertops, updated air-conditioner, commercial-grade washer/dryer and tile flooring. Updates also include custom-stained bamboo cabinets and a shower that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The two king-sized beds are outfitted with luxurious Vispring mattresses. Decorator touches abound. And the sliding door on the front lanai has a 10' wide opening to let the ocean air in. The color palette consists of soothing neutral tones with textured grass wallpaper in the great room and master bedroom. All details have been thoughtfully considered to meet the requirements of the sophisticated traveler.

You will be so happy here that you might not want to leave! But if you do venture out, it is a short stroll to 2 wonderful beaches and several more are a short drive away. The cove in front of our beach is so awesome that people pay to be brought here but all you have to do is put on your flippers and swim on over. We have beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and cooler, boogie boards and sand toys for your use and you can rent kayaks and snorkel gear near by.

Makena Surf is a low-density condo complex with only 105 luxury units. We are in a hotel zone so no regulations limiting short-term-rentals will affect your booking. Makena is located about 5 minutes south of Wailea and across the street from a great golf course. Wailea is home to award-winning restaurants, world-class golf courses and excellent shopping. Makena Surf has two recently-remodeled swimming pools, 2 hot tubs, 4 tennis courts (with pickleball courts!), an exercise room, herb garden, 24 hour security and free parking.

The island of Maui has everything you want to see on your Hawaii vacation, including waterfalls, bamboo forests, luaus, kayaking, SUPs and hiking. At Makena Surf, your vacation can be as high energy or laid-back as you want.

Please note we are on the third floor and there is no elevator.

    Beautiful home in well planned Mākena Surf. Lush landscaping, incredible views with semi-private beach. Home is very well stocked and has professional, responsive owner and management. The property is very private yet close to fantastic snorkeling and shopping in Wailea or Kihei. One of the best properties on Maui.

    The property is exactly as advertised. Susan was amazing with communication and all the little extras she had for us. Like beach chairs, water noodles, snorkeling gear, beach toys there was a lot to choose from. I highly recommend this place if you are traveling with 4-8 people.

    Great stay and just what we needed. Our family took advantage of the two beaches, two swimming pools and two hot tubs daily! We also played tennis and used the fitness room. We loved being able to play spike ball on the beach thanks to the homeowners providing games and supplies. As for the condo, we all had our own space, including all of the balcony options! The common area open concept was great for family time, not to mention unlimited access to the ocean view. Fabulous space.

    always wanted to stay in South Maui this place was stunning. The condo was outfit fitted with absolutely everything you need for the beach. There were 6 feet chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, Floaties, beach toys. inside the condo was fully equipped as well. We love the beautiful view and the beach on either side of the condo was so perfect for our grandkids. Susan was super fast answering questions. loved this place.

    This condo located in Makena Surf in Makena Maui has gorgeous views, and beautiful artwork and furniture. Makena Surf itself is beautifully landscaped with two pools, tennis courts, and two lovely beaches. The condo has a gorgeous view of the ocean and we were able to watch whales and even dolphins and turtles while sitting on one of the two lanais. The master bathroom even has a view of the ocean visible while showering. The owner was very welcoming and responsive to questions! Wonderful relaxing stay!

    Another amazing vacation in this incredible condo.Unbelievable privacy. Leave the hordes of tourists behind. The moment you walk in to the great room and see the expensive lanai, you are surrounded by seemingly endless ocean views. The guard gate protects the parking lot, so there is ample parking. The natural lava outcropping protects the grounds from hordes of tourists lying in the grass out front as all beaches are public beaches in Maui. Unbelievable amenities. The owner, Susan, is an amazing host. Her communication skills are absolute perfection. She has stocked her condo with so many amenities that go above and beyond any condo we have ever rented previously through our many years of returning to Maui.We have only one regret. We wish we would’ve found Susan and her amazing ocean front condo years earlier. So with that, we wish to thank Susan from our hearts for allowing us to stay in her special beautiful condo once again. Aloha.

    Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The views were unbelievable. One of the best equipped and comfortable places we have ever stayed. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed playing pickleball (they have open play on Tuesdays and Thursdays). The beaches were close and easy to get to. Snorkeling, paddle boarding and boogie boarding were steps away. Will definitely come back. Thank you for sharing your amazing place.

    Despite the high price of this unit, this could have been the place we came back to regularly. Upon walking in the view is stunning and captivating, the decor appears appealing and you are excited to be here. It’s a few days in when you realize that the amenities are either overly tired or cheap…not what you expect in a high end rental. The Master bed/mattress is acceptable, but not fantastic. The second master bed is awful and creaks with every movement. There is no headboard, so reading in bed is difficult. The twin beds have firm and I’m guessing newer mattresses. The outdoor furniture, particularly in the back patio is atrocious. I realize that oceanfront/tropical climates are hard on furniture, but when the seats are torn, it really is time to upgrade. The kitchen amenities grade a C+. Not terrible, not great with the exception of the coffee maker that spills every time you pour water or coffee. As a vacation rental in Hawaii, it’s probably pretty typical, but I was expecting exceptional. We love Makena and the complex here, but will move on to a different and less expensive unit in future, where our expectations match the stay

    This condo is so special it’s hard to put into words to acutely describe how amazing it is. The outdoor space is outstanding both during the day and for stunning sunsets. Two perfect beaches are minutes away and the snorkeling is incredible. The condo is so well appointed and stocked with everything you need and communication with the owner is quick and easy. We plan to return as quickly as we can!!

    The condo itself is truly stunning. The attention to detail and the level of appointments were exceptional. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure the condo was well-appointed and provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness of the space was also noteworthy, as it contributed to a pleasant and hygienic environment. Additionally, the location of the condo was absolutely amazing. We were delighted to find ourselves in such a convenient and picturesque area. It allowed us to easily explore and enjoy all that Maui has to offer. The proximity to attractions, restaurants, and beautiful beaches truly enhanced our vacation.

    Fantastic unit, and a wonderful location. We loved the access to excellent snorkeling right out front, and the fabulous pool (pictures didn’t do it justice because it was amazing). The complex was very quiet and peaceful but close enough to Kihei for shops, etc. The condo had excellent amenities and views. We would definitely come back.

    After a long day of travel and a trip to Costco- we walked into the condo and our jaws dropped. Of course we had seen the pictures, but the real thing is so much better. The view is stunning, and the proximity to two beaches (and all the equipment available!) was the best! We had so much fun, the snorkeling is unbelievable and the condo itself is perfect. We had a family of 6 adults and we had plenty of space to hang out. We were so incredibly sad when the time came to leave. We highly recommend this property!
