Beautiful Wailea retreat

My husband and I were looking for a place to really relax after several major health challenges followed his retirement last summer. This condo fit the bill perfectly; it's a great value for how close to the beach you are. We spent most days reading and relaxing on the beach or lanai. The view from the lanai is a major plus.... lawn, flowers and palm trees, let alone the tropical birdsong. The owner was very responsive to inquires and bent over backwards to accommodate our particular needs. We appreciated the restaurant recommendations, though we ate in for most meals. The beach towels, chairs and umbrella were greatly appreciated, esp. the box of snorkel gear by the front door. The water was a little clearer at Po'olenalena Beach for snorkeling, but we still enjoyed being able to walk down to the beach below the condo for reading and going in the ocean. I enjoyed the sunset from the small pool nearby. Hopefully next time we visit, the pool by the beach will be open! It looked like a great place to spend an afternoon reading. Our only excursion was a stargazing tour atop Haleakala. It was nice to let someone else do the driving, then enjoy a spectacular sunset and night sky. Let's just say I'm already planning another trip within a year or two. Highly recommend this unit!

Nice Property in Nice Location

This is a very nice property in a nice location within the Ekahi complex. It is a short walk to the beach and pool. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. If I had any advise or negative feedback for the owner it would be that the furniture is getting very tired and could use updating. The mattress in the bedroom is old and sagging and the two chairs in the living room are so worn out that the cushions bottom out when you sit in the chairs, you might as well be sitting on the wood frames, they are extremely uncomfortable and impossible to sit in for any period of time.

Perfect Location/Easy Breezy

We've stayed at several condos in Ekahi over the years and this spot was by far our favorite, as it was on the Quiet side (!) and steps away from the pool/beach. Communication with the hosts was flawless. Well appointed and comfortable home. We are still relishing the fabulous relaxation vacation that we had, in no small part due to this great home base!

Great Condo at the beach

5D is an awesome condo. Very close to the beach and pavilion at Ekahi Village. A great value in Wailea. Everything you need is there from the kitchen to the closet with beach chairs, umbrella and even boggie boards. You can hear the waves from the lania. Beautiful view also. The bed is super comfy and the condo is big.

Great Location to Beach- Great Facility

This location is very easy to walk to the beach and 2 pools on the property (the awesome quite closer one isn't even mentioned), BEST place to stay if you like to actually swim IN the waves, and have chairs to watch sunset at night. Great large swimming pavilion, we were able to have several condos worth of family gather and eat there together. The communication with the owner ahead was very comprehensible and very quick responses. WILL stay here again.

Wonderful location

We had a great stay - the proximity to the beach and pavilion, as well as the general location in Wailea (close to shops, restaurants) was awesome. It was a breeze to walk just a few minutes to the beach, or to the pool if that's your thing. We enjoyed having access to multiple grills and really enjoyed cooking in the evening, then watching the sunset at the pavilion. The unit itself was spacious for 2 people and exceptionally clean. Bonus - the bed was very comfortable and the water pressure was strong.

A Great Place to Stay!

We really enjoyed this property! It was clean and comfortable for my family. 5D has a stocked closet with all the beach essentials. We were a very short walk from the main pool and beach and a short walk from the start of the Wailea beach path. My small boys loved the pool! John has been very helpful communicating through email. We would stay here again when visiting Wailea!

Outstanding stay in Ekhai

Typing this review just makes me want to get right back to Maui & this condo. The listing & pictures are very representative of the unit, which was perfect for what our family was looking for. Having both the sofa sleeper and the single ottoman was a big hit with our kids...not having to share a sofa bed!! Boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella all got used daily. Overall the condo's in very fine shape, just a few blinds that could use some maintenance/replacement. While you don't have the ocean view from the lanai, in a very easy couple minutes stroll you're at the Pavilion area overlooking the ocean...just a another few steps & on the silky smooth beach sands. The Pavilion/pool area was a huge plus overall for our stay. Great relaxed spot to eat dinner and enjoy the sunset. There were always several other groups of people using the area, but it never felt crowed at all. Great place overall!

Very nice! We recommend it.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in 5D! Wailea is such a wonderful area and Ekahi village is very conveniently located to the shops at Wailea for dining and shopping. As described in the rental listing, the location of this unit is terrific, quiet and an easy stroll to the pool/beach. Parking close to the condo was never a problem. This was probably the most well stocked VRBO rental we’ve stayed at, there wasn’t any detail missed. We enjoyed how spacious 5D was and one of the best parts….no bugs! It can happen in tropical locations but our 5 nights were free from creepy crawling things. If you’re considering booking just do it. It’s a great value for what you get! John (an owner) was very good about quick replies to all of our communications.

My wife and I stayed at this unit for a week during our March 2023 visit to Maui and highly recommend. It was clean, spacious, and very close to the beautiful beach. John was very communicative / responsive regarding check-in, check-out, and questions we had. There were also unexpected perks like beach chairs, beach towels, and a little cooler which made our beach going a real treat. We will definitely plan to book this unit for a future trip!

Great condo in the PERFECT location in Wailea

My husband and I stayed here Dec 29 , 2022 - Jan 7, 2023 and I can’t recommend this place enough! Unit 5 D at Ekahi Village was in the absolute perfect location in Wailea. For start, this particular unit in this complex, is literally steps from the pool and beach access. Also, it is within walking distance or short 3 minute drive to the Shops at Wailea, which was great when you wanted to do a little shopping and get some dinner. Also, the beach access allows you to go right down to the Walk at Wailea, the paved sidewalk that runs along the beach in front of all of the resorts, which was so cool! Regarding the unit itself, these owners have taken SUCH CARE to have everything that you would need in this condo. For the beach, there are chairs, boogie boards, noodles, coolers, beach towels, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, utensils, glasses everything. Also, they had soap for the clothes washer and bathroom body wash, shampoo etc. I’ve found that the little details are so important to make a Vrbo stay 5 star! The unit has good air conditioning systems, which I’m sorry, I totally appreciate and definitely want! The king sized bed was so comfortable and we loved that there are 2 bathrooms in this unit. The communication with John and Mike was so great. They went out of their way to send recommendations and tips and just overall, made this process so easy. I’ve done a lot of VRBOs and it is so much better if the owner is directly taking care of everything about a rental. In short, I would not hesitate to choose this place and I will definitely stay here again when on Maui. I’m glad I chose Unit 5D in Ekahi Village and to stay with this owner team!
