Why the Owner Chose Wailea Ekolu
We've been coming to Maui for many years, and have rented many condos, (some better than others), and have always dreamed of having a home here. We love relaxing with friends after a hard day at the beach, and have always thought Ekolu Village was a quiet, low density complex in a convenient location, with great views.
We've tried to create a comfortable environment, and to perfectly outfit our Wailea Ekolu home. Combined with our spirit of Aloha, we hope the condo is welcoming, warm, and lacks for nothing. We love spoiling our guests, and want everyone to enjoy staying at the condo as much as we do.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
When you drive up to Wailea Ekolu, it is a well cared for property with beautiful, mature landscaping. Parking is right outside your own private entry, no hallways or elevators. The amazing sunsets from the lanai, and dining on fresh Hawaiian fish, hot from our electric grill, is our recipe for a perfect evening in paradise. The Maui film festival, local Wailea Beaches, The Shops at Wailea, local attractions, great restaurants, exploring island towns and shops, (to find treasures for the condo), and the proximity to Big Beach/Little Beach are some of our favorite things about our location.

She's always on call, as well, for helpful hints and any assistance you might need. You are in good hands as she is a professional realtor on Maui. ... We live and work in San Francisco and run our own wall upholstery and window covering business that caters to the interior design business.

Thank you so much! We loved Maui - from upcountry waterfalls to Big Beach and everything in between. Your condo served as the perfect base. We look forward to returning. Thank you ... (the El-Sherif family)

Hi Lorraine, The condo is fantastic. Better than your description and you guys have essentially covered anything a person could think up in terms of amenities. Being from the San Francisco Bay Area, we have sometimes found that people oversell their rentals online with regards to the islands. Your property has over delivered in every way. We also love Waliea and are so happy we chose this location. Without a doubt, the best location on the whole island. Fantastic beaches, great shopping and yummy food! We will definitely contact you in the future when we are ready to come back! Thanks Again, Todd

What a fantastic vacation! The condo is beautiful and Lorraine, Ray and Donald are fantastic hosts, willing to assist whenever necessary.
