The reviews that we considered in making our decision to stay at this unit were totally true. We can't wait to go back to Maui and stay at Ekolu #911.

Exceptional Condo. Experience

Date of Stay: 11/16/11 Review Submitted: 01/31/12

My husband and I rented this condo. for ourselves and two daughters (7 yrs. & 10 yrs.). This is a wonderful condo with an extraordinary view of the ocean. What an incredible experience to be eating meals on the lanai viewing Molokini crater and the magnificence of the ocean. We are Maui veterans and have stayed in many different condos and resorts. We will definitely look to rent this condo. again. Ekolu is an ultra quiet community located on the sunny south side of the island. The condo is located near the pool (but not too near) and a short walk up the hill from the Shops as Wailea. The location is superb, the condo. is clean, well maintained, and fully stocked (boogie boards, cooler, beach towels, snorkel gear, fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals, linens, etc.). The owners have put together an amazingly helpful book with all of their "Maui Favorites" which is a must read for first timers and veterans alike. Bryan was very timely and professional to work with in booking the condo. and extremely helpful with any questions. Hands down we look forward to booking this condo. on our next return trip to our beloved island.

Great Holiday

We had a great time in Maui, and we think Wailea is one of the nicest areas. I really enjoyed the property. The pool was great for an early morning swim with no one around. Bryan's unit is very prilvate with a great view and a well stocked kitchen. Having 2 bathrooms is nice too. Matteo's and Monkeypod are both good restaurants that you can walk to. We really enjjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer. Laurence and Mariely.

We had two weeks of vacation bliss. The accomodations were beautiful and clean, and it easily and comfortably slept the four of us. The lanai view was incredible. What a way to start your morning by having breakfast looking at the spectacular ocean view!! There is so much to do and wonderful beaches in the area.

Maui condo

Guest: Elvis fan (London, UK)
Date of Stay: 09/15/10 Review Submitted: 10/13/10

We stayed at this condo for 8 days in September. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. We have stayed on Maui before and this time we didn't go to the local restaurants as every evening we sat on the lanai watching the sunset, a lovely home cooked meal with a glass of wine - what more could you ask for on holiday? We found the condo to be very clean and spacious and a lovely location. We had fantastic views overlooking the golf course and out to sea and the lanai was not overlooked by anyone so it was very private. It was well located, a Safeway store was fairly near and the local shopping mall was within walking distance with some great shops & cafes. We drove up to the crater, went horse riding at Mendes ranch, visited the Maui Ocean Centre, went snorkelling and swimming. All in all we had a wonderful holiday - Maui is a beautiful island. Thank you Bryan for letting us share in your paradise home for a short while!

Beautiful Maui Condo

Guest: Mary (Santa Cruz, Ca)
Date of Stay: 09/02/10 Review Submitted: 10/24/10

We loved our stay in your beautiful condo in Maui - it was so much more than we expected! Sunsets from the lanai were some of the best moments of our trip. Who needs to go out for dinner when you have the best view on Maui right there in the privacy of your own home?! We will DEFINITELY recommend it to our family and friends. It's hard getting back to the realities of life - I'd much rather be sitting on a beach somewhere on Maui. But we have great memories - Mahalo, Bryan!

My wife and I rented this condo for our anniversary week - and it was MORE that we expected.. wonderful view, a well-maintained unit in a great location, comfortable surroundings and an easy-going and helpful owner in Bryan. We were totally happy with the place, and when we return to Wailea, we'll be seeking this unit again! Mahalo, Bryan!

This is a wonderful condo. It far exceeded our expectations. The condo has everything you could possibly need and then some. The views are amazing from the balcony. We enjoyed sitting out there in the morning having our breakfast and coffee. Bryan was a pleasure to work with. He will definitely have returning customers in us.

We enjoyed ten beautiful days at Bryan's condo. We were attending a wedding at the Wailea Golf Club. The wedding ceremony had the ocean and the number one hole of Emerald course as the backdrop. It was a stunning event - just like the view from the condo! Bryan was very pleasant and accomodating and bends over backwards to look after his guests! We had a fantastic holiday and will return to this beautiful place! We played all three Wailea courses and it was heaven! Aloha and Mahalo !

We recently enjoyed our second visit to this great condo and Wailea! What a great find. The view is amazing, the condo and grounds very well kept. It is such a wonderful location ...close to Wailea Shops, the beach walk by the hotels, and a short distance to any other place you wish to see on the Island. We will be back!!! PERFECT.

We stayed in this unit January 17th to the 23rd, 2010. What a great spot! First, it is immaculate, which is critical to me and beyond that it is a gem! Nicely decorated, updated throughout with terrific views from the balcony, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year. The Owner is a pleasure to deal with, everything was handled very professionally. I felt like I was home here and kind of wished I was!

We stayed here for a week in January, 2009 and it was a great stay!! This is a "gem" of a place in Wailea. Wonderful views - we spent some time watching the whales breech, etc!! Also this condo has been updated with new bathrooms and kitchen. Wailea is a great place on Maui but many of the condos are old and need updating so this is a great find to have Wailea plus an updated condo!! We plan to come back...

Shirlene and Phil. We surely enjoyed our stay at your condo #911 in Oct. 2008. We expected, with all the good recommendations, that it would be nice. It was even better, feels just like one is in ones own home, very clean, comfortable, well equipped and decorated, very quiet and private. We are actually surprised as to how well a job you did with remodeling and the better choices of materials used. Ate all our meals on the lanai which offers superb views. This was all in all a much better unit then what we had in the past in neighboring Villages. Positively would recommend it to anyone.

I expected the condo would be nice based on the pictures, but it exceeded our expectations. The condo is in excellent condition. The large lanai and incredible panoramic view allowed for many enjoyable hours relaxing outside. There is a full size table and chairs on the patio so you can eat all your meals outside with the incredible ocean view. The Ekolu complex itself is very nice with colorful flowers everywhere. It is a very relaxing place and close to the beach. You can walk to the beach in about 10 minutes, but save some energy for the walk back up the hill to the condo! This was one of our best Maui trips due to the great condo and location.

Spectacular view and lovely appointed condo. I hesitate to rave too much for fear we'll never be able to get an available week again. Clearly the best equipped kitchen we've enjoyed on vacation.
