Welcome to the newly renovated, top floor corner 4 bedroom 5 bath ocean and beachfront villa - the crown jewel of Makena Surf - "Turquoise Cove" G301.
Turquoise Cove G301 was just remodeled and refreshed by Tropical Villa Vacations, the property manager and rental agency for this fabulous beach front villa.
INTERIOR AND NEW OCEAN AND BEACH VIEW PHOTOS WILL BE AVAILABLE VERY SOON. THE RENOVATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED THE WEEK OF 10/12/09.
Enjoy this private sanctuary, a secluded and generously sized luxurious villa residence at owner direct rates - with the added benefit of professional, licensed, and insured property management! You are guaranteed the specific residence as represented on this individual property display.
This amazing property has unsurpassed ocean views, with three outdoor wrap-around oceanfront terraces that are perfect for enjoying tropical sunsets or catching the occasional glimpse of turtles, or humpback whales (during winter season).
In addition to the long and broad sandy beach in front of Makena Surf, there are more than a dozen other sandy coves and beaches nearby. The famous "Big" and "Little" beaches are just a few minutes drive. Also nearby within minutes are Polo Beach, Wailea Beach, Elua Beach, and the lovely long beaches of Kihei - Keawakapu, Kamaole II and III, and Charley Young Beach.
An abundance of enjoyable ocean and outdoor sports are offered in the area including canoe paddling, paddle boarding, outrigger canoe sailing, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and horseback riding.
No detail has been missed and our villas are stocked with everything a guest might need with a full complement of household goods including kitchen spices, a coffee grinder and coffee maker, espresso machine, extra 100% cotton high thread count bed and bath linens, hair dryers, make-up mirror, soft cotton bathrobes, luggage racks, paper and cleaning supplies, irons and ironing boards, and tropical bath treats. Other essential luxury amenities include your very own in-villa laundry with full size washer/dryer, a deluxe propane BBQ grill, and central split zone air conditioning.
There are five state-of-art flat panel televisions and additional electronics. Each bedroom has its own flat screen TV, there are multiple CD/DVD players, iPod alarm clock radios, CD stereo.
This is the only double unit with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and 3 outdoor terraces! This is not your average vacation home. The care and expense provided at Turquoise Cove puts it in a class by itself.
There is really no setting like that of G301 at Makena Surf. Perched directly over the ocean and the beach, it offers mind-blowing panoramic beach and ocean front vistas. Turquoise Cove faces southwest towards Maui's famous Big Beach. Don't forget the splendid moonsets and sunsets that can be viewed from this villa during the winter season.
Far quieter than most busy resorts, this is one of Maui’s best kept secrets, with direct access to a picturesque, uncrowded sandy swimming beach known for it’s abundance of tropical fish and gentle sea turtles. Makena Surf Resort has direct access to two sandy swimming beaches, two heated swimming pools, two hot tubs, 4 tennis courts, and lush tropical foliage and flowers.
Visitors to Makena Surf often comment how uncrowded and spacious the beach is. Many small tidepools are perfect for curious children. Dip your head under water during winter season and you may hear whale song! Located just two miles south of Wailea, guests can still easily enjoy the fine restaurants, luxury shopping, and exciting activities of South Maui. Parking at Makena Surf is provided free of charge. There are three golf courses within minutes. The Sea Watch Restaurant (now operated by famous chef Bev Gannon), and the Wailea Gold and Emerald Courses are just a few blocks away!
Along the south Maui coastline are dozens of other sandy swimming beaches, all of which are accessible to visitors. Most parks offer restrooms, picnic areas, showers, and some have lifeguard service, including the nearby "Big Beach".

"Aloha Yvonne - As our vacation winds down we are filed with joy and a tinge of sadness. Joy, at the wonderful time we have had here (thanks in large part to you). And sadness, that it has gone by so fast. Thank you to the entire TVV team for making this our most memorable trip to the islands yet. Everything has been exquisite and everyone has been a total pleasure to work with. We will always use TVV when visiting the islands! Mahalo again for everything. I can't wait to get back and stay here again. Best, The Roosa Family. 06/2009"
Positive Rating
Everything was better than expected. We had wonderful weather, the swimming pools, grounds and beach were magnificent. Tropical Villa Vacations and Yvonne are a class act! Leaving your property in their hands - no one could ask for anything more! Their attention to detail prior to renting was just as outstanding as during our stay.
Positive Rating
"Recent Wailea Resort-Area Villa Guest: Excellent service. Someone was available to assist in any way possible. Perfect. Better then staying at a hotel any time. If we return to Maui we will contact your agency first. Thank you. The M Family. 06/2009"
