Excellent small home, ideally equipped with kitchen necessities. Location can’t be beat! It’s a walk up the driveway and maybe 50’ to the beach. Whales from the lanai with Kona coffee…amazing. The gourmet markets are within 5 min drive. Excellent layout with the ground level shower, hot tub and covered terrace hose off areas. Upstairs main level offers a gorgeous deck. Never tired of listening to the myna birds! Would definitely stay here again!

This is an ideal spot for a couple! Quiet and feels like your own little secluded paradise but is close to restaurants, shopping, etc. Great beach just a few minutes walk down the road! Saw turtles swimming in the rocky area just in front of the property!The house had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Wailea-Makena - beach equipment/towels, washer/dryer including laundry detergent, and a fully stocked kitchen. We loved hanging out in the outdoor cabana/hot tub area! It was nice to have the a/c in the bedroom at night. There is also an a/c unit in the main living area but we didn't end up needing it this time of year. We loved this home and hope to be back someday!

VACAY 25

*The things we liked: the view from the deck, the outdoor lanai with the hot tub and tv area and it was quiet most of the time. *The things we disliked: the home wasn't the cleanest - for example there was layered dust on the bedroom fans and sconces and the bathroom could use an upgrade for sure We also needed a light blanket on the bed (the comforter was heavy) so we found two blankets in the bin in the living room and they were musty smelling and stained (I washed them myself). The bug exterminator came and was in our parking spot and wasn't very motivated to converse or move his truck. The landscape guys came one morning and were loud and it was awkward to be outside with them there. Trivial but annoying - one cold beer mug and one wine glass - do people come there and stay alone?? Lastly, for a property listed for over 2 MILLION dollars if you wanted to purchase it, we expected a nicer place. Everything is so dated and the place really could use an upgrade. We did enjoy Maui and will come again but stay elsewhere.

Exquisite location - best vacation!

This is my 5th time vacationing in Maui. I have stayed at high-end hotels and luxurious condos in Kaanapali, Lāhainā, and Wailea — all but one of them had oceanfront rooms. Yet I had no idea how private and comfortable this home in Makena would be - the photos and details in the listing cannot describe the beauty and peacefulness of the location. I am definitely coming back.

Great property, amazing views

This is a great property in Makena right on the water. We spent the days outside watching the turtles swim and boats coming in and out with guests wanting to snorkel turtle town. The makena beach park is less than 100 yards from the house and beach access even closer. What a great place to snorkel or just watch the waves come in. Some of the warmer days we turned the air on in the bedroom but the rest of the house didn’t need it and it’s really handy to be able to do that rather than cool the entire house down. The owners provide everything to need for a beach day so no need to by a cooler or water toys/gear, it’s all here. The place is perfect for two or a small family with kids. Two full baths and plenty of room to have a space of your own outside. There is no oven but the microwave is convection so you can even cook a frozen pizza in it so no problem. Love this place and highly recommend due to the location, private parking and privacy in general. Wonderful hosts. Thank you.

This is so worth it! It’s difficult to leave to go do things, to be honest. But, if you have to leave, the place has everything you need for a beach day, several of which are super close (short walk or drive). Short drives to grocery stores with anything else you might need. Great communication with owners! Loved it - will hopefully get to be back. Our thoughts and condolences remain with all those affected by the wildfires…

Amazing Second Stay

Luckily this was our second stay at this AMAZING property on the Bay in Makena. The house is clean, unique, and fully stocked for an extended stay. We love all the patios and the outdoor space downstairs— including the hotub that has a great view of the ocean. The house is tucked away and very private. The neighborhood is nice and a short drive to resorts and restaurants. The communication with the owners is easy and prompt. We would love to stay again in the future.

Wonderful place to stay!

This home was an awesome base location for our 7 days in Maui. The place was very clean and the host was a superb communicator. Best of all is the location. Awesome ocean views from the upper deck and the grassy area. The place is also outfitted with all the toys - beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie board, many sets of fins and snorkels, big beach towels, etc. We really like staying in the Makena area. It was away from the hustle and bustle of the big resort areas and huge condo complexs. Yet we were able to easily walk to nearby beaches. I completely recommend staying here and would do so again on a future trip to Maui.

Perfect Maui vacation house - turtle town

Makena Bay House is oceanfront with amazing pano ocean view of the bay. It’s right next to the Makena Landing, with abundant coral reef, fish and turtles on both sides. We snorkeled in the bay and swam w turtles every day. South Pacific Kayaks drops off kayak rental right there. We rented one for half day to kayak up to Wilea, saw several turtles swimming next to us. The house was stocked w everything you need. I used the life vest, snorkel gear, reef shoes and fins. We had breakfast and dinner on the lanai every day watching the morning light and sunset, listening to birds chirping. The outdoor shower and hot tub makes cleanup and relaxing convenient and scenic. We have been to Maui five times. This was the best time we had here. Cannot wait to come back!

Hidden Gem in a great location

We weren't sure what to expect, but were blown away with this home. It is truly a hidden gem that has amazing views, is close to a desirable snorkeling spot (we saw a lot of snorkeling boats coming in the bay), close to restaurants and shopping, and allowed us to take morning walks through adjacent neighborhoods. The home has just the right amount of space for 2, with lots of outdoor seating on the upper and lower deck. Great home in a great location!

Perfect location to relax and unwind

Great sunset views either from the balconies or your own spot on the shoreline. The property itself has everything you could want and the multiple decks let you sit in the sun or find shade at any time of the day. Communication was great, both before the visit and with a quick check-in that everything was going well mid week. Morning swim sessions from the sandy beach are less than a minute slow amble down the quiet road, and afterwards you can smile at the tour boats that come in for short visits, knowing that they will be gone leaving one of the prime snorkeling locations in all of Hawaii to enjoy at your leisure.

This unit is absolutely amazing. Waking up each morning to the most amazing ocean view directly through the bedroom balcony door, multiple lanais/balconies, and a great outdoor barbeque/relaxing area with a hot tub. Two different beaches within a very short walking distance. This place has everything. The only disappointment is that no matter how long you stay, you'll wish you had stayed longer.
