Condo in Kihei
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 81 reviewsKamaole Sands - Remodeled - King Bed - Ocean View!
We were extremely pleased with this pristine unit in such a beautiful location. We normally stay on the first floor of this building but switched it up to the 2nd floor - what a great view of Kam III/perspective from up here! Everything was as described in the unit, fully stocked, and ready for us to enjoy some much needed R&R. You just can't beat the location which is walking distance to one of the most beautiful beaches and so much more. Turtles said hi to us every day we were in the water and the sunsets are spectacular. The pool is top notch and a great place to catch some rays. We can't wait to come back! Mahalo, as always Anke, for being such a gracious host.

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 166 reviewsStunning Luxury Oceanview Condo
John's place was just what we were looking for. The location was perfect and the beach access was wonderful. The condo had everything we needed. There are county pickleball courts between building D and the beach, but be prepared to double up with expert players in early mornings. Afternoons can be quite windy (gusty) at this location. There are plenty of beach chairs at the pool, but more umbrellas are needed imo. Overall a wonderful expereince.

Karen is an amazing experienced host and so great to work with. She has an impressive wealth of knowledge about Maui and being a former Maui resident, her recommendations were spot on. Karen definitely knows her stuff! The unit was immaculate and featured thoughtful personalized touches throughout with access to the tennis court, laundry, pool, and hot tub. And the location... just perfect, directly across the street from the beach, and a short drive from restaurants and attractions. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsOCEAN Front! Walk to the Beach! Private & Gated!
Kevin was a great host unfortunately the Lehiana fire disaster forced us out after 3 days of our week stay and Puamana resort community is currently decimated. Kevin graciously offer to do what he could to return our abandoned personal item when and if he could get access to the unit which was a pretty big offer given the circumstances and his personal and family losses. We did manage to retrieve our belongings ourselves and then donated just about everything back into a local relief effort gathering such items for those who had lost everything. In the hopes that the owner or Airbnb is insured for such things we have applied for partial refund under Airbnb disaster circumstances refund policy and plan to get it into the hands of the most impacted. I'll be looking to rent properties hosted by Kevin in the future, when the community recovers from this tragedy and travel is resumed. Kevin's earned my loyalty as a host and that's the highest rating I can give.

Beautiful condo, in a great area in Wailea. The beach is a 4 min drive away. Great shopping center and food places nearby. The community has a beautiful clean pool (cleanest public pool I have ever seen). Plenty of beach towels. Bathrooms were very clean! Thank you!

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviewsMarvelous Maui, Oceanfront Paradise!
Probably the most beautiful Air BNB we’ve EVER stayed at!! The decor and patio really make you feel you those Hawaii ocean vibes. You can walk right up to the beach and the condo has all the snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, etc you could possibly need. We saw some sea turtles out by the water and some tropical fish near the shore rocks. We wish we stayed longer!! If we ever visit again, we will definitely be booking again.

Dan was very helpful and the place is right on the beach, less than a 5 minute walk. It is also walking distance from town with all nice places to eat and surf rentals! Awesome place hoping to be back one day.

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.
