Tropical Paradise Close to Everything

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved staying at Lily's place at the KOA. The grounds were beautiful and had many activities for us to enjoy including tennis, pool area, shuffleboard, and a ping pong table. Very convenient location to access the shoreline and walk for miles along the beach. The place was clean and friendly. The kitchen is a little outdated, but everything functions perfectly! We loved sitting on the balcony and sipping our coffee in the morning. Overall, a good stay for two couples! Thank you Lily!

Stunning Luxury Oceanview Condo

JanetRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely loved our stay in Kihei! The condo is centrally located so we were able to make our way around the island very easily. We appreciated the view of the grounds, pool, and ocean from the lanai. We will be recommending this property to our family and friends. You should definitely check out the food trucks and atmosphere at the South Maui Gardens. 😋

Ocean view studio. 1k ft from water!June $149 m-th

CurtisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay at Kihei Bay Surf. We were right across the street from the beach, but when it got too windy, we also had pool access which was very nice. The road was a bit busy, but ultimately not too bad. For those guests that like to cook from their stays (like we do) we found the kitchen well equipped, though you may want to plan ahead regarding seasonings and condiments, etc. There are also a lot of great restaurants nearby (Karen's recommendations were all excellent!) Thanks!

MAUI BLISS! RARE Wailea 3-bedroom...sleeps 10!

BrittaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Condo was perfect for a large family with kids. There were plenty of packnplays and even a crib option in the master bedroom closet (with sheets!). Additionally, the two king beds in the rooms makes it nice if two families are traveling together, or in our case (grandma and grandpa came along). Kids room was a little stuffy and hot- the AC unit is older and the ceiling fan is not working. But we figured out how to get it off the eco setting which helped. The condo had all the basics we needed for cooking. Grills are out by the pools. There are two pools on the property one for families, and one we called the “no fun pool” because it’s supposed to be the quiet pool. Sunsets were beautiful here, everyone walks out onto the golf course to watch the sunset in the evening when the course is closed. We would love to stay again. It was an amazing family vacation for our Alaskan family.

Andrei was a great host and the condo was perfect for our needs. It was clean, had a well-equipped kitchen, and had things to enjoy the beach such as beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and more. It was close to many things to do in Wailea and Kihei too. We will def consider staying here again. Thanks , Andrei!

Your guide to Wailea-Makena

All About Wailea-Mākena

Located on the southern shore of the Hawaiian island of Maui, Wailea is a resort area famous for its white-sand beaches, sprawling golf courses, and relaxing spas. Wailea-Mākena provides a great base for visiting southern Maui’s sandy shores, such as the nearby Wailea Beach, which is just a short walk from town, or Mākena Beach, where you can go for a refreshing swim or explore the pristine coastline by paddleboard or kayak.

You can also find many interesting natural attractions nearby, such as La Perouse Bay or Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve, which is teeming with marine life. Take a break from the sun and water by visiting the Shops at Wailea, a complex that features 70 retail stores — art galleries, boutiques selling Hawaiian shirts and water-sports gear —and restaurants serving creative takes on local mahi mahi and deep-water ahi tuna.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Wailea-Makena

Thanks to Maui’s consistent heat all year round, this is a great place to visit at any time. During the summer, the days are long, hot, and sometimes muggy, which is why many travelers cool off in the crystal-clear water found on Maui’s beaches.

During the spring and fall, the crowds thin out, making this a great time to visit if you want to have the beaches and hiking trails all to yourself. While the clouds gather overhead more frequently in the winter and the region sees a higher amount of rain, the warm weather remains, and showers are generally quick to come and go. Winter is also the best time to visit if you’re interested in whale watching or driving along Maui’s Road to Hana, a winding road famous for its waterfall hikes and lush greenery.


Top things to do in Wailea-Makena

Mākena State Park

Mākena Beach State Park, on the south side of town, is home to one of the largest undeveloped beaches on Maui. This stretch of shoreline, commonly referred to as “Big Beach,” features glistening white sand and cerulean waters surrounded by native kiawe forests and mango groves. Wander inland and you can hike up the 360-foot-tall Pu’u Olai, a dormant volcanic cinder cone, where you can survey the coastline from on high.

Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve

Located less than a 10-minute drive from Mākena State Park, this marine reserve offers one of the area’s best snorkeling spots. The ocean floor is covered by a coastal lava field intermixed with coral, making it a popular home for many different species of tropical fish, including butterfly fish, parrotfish, surgeonfish, and turtles. At the reserve, you can snorkel directly from the shoreline.

La Perouse Bay

Just 20 minutes south of Wailea-Mākena, La Perouse Bay is outlined by lush green vegetation and jagged lava rock formations, created when the now-dormant Haleakalā Volcano last erupted in 1790. Now the blackened lava rocks shelter numerous tide pools. If you’d like to peer in at the marine creatures living there, bring shoes with thick soles, as lava rock has many sharp edges.
