About the host

Hosted by Lara

Host profile image
We are a father-daughter team who love beaches, love exploring new places and love helping others create a vacation that will be remembered the rest of their lives! We have many fond memories of our family vacations spent on Maui and think it's the perfect place for a combination of relaxation and adventure. We can't wait for you to enjoy this tropical paradise!

Why they chose this property

Makena Surf captured our hearts years ago as we spent time vacationing here ourselves. Its quiet location, lovely condos, beautiful views and the close-up encounters we have had with wildlife bring back so many warm memories. Having the opportunity to play a role in helping others create these same memories is so exciting to us and we feel very blessed to be a part of what Makena Surf offers to those coming for a tropical getaway.

What makes this property unique

Our condo stands out from the rest because of its privacy, luxury amenities and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. The ground-floor unit is tucked away from the rest and surrounded by lush tropical plants. Our fully-stocked kitchen, immaculate bedrooms and spacious bathrooms all feature high-end brands and amenities. The condo features not one but TWO sprawling lanais, which together wrap around 3 sides of the end-unit condo. The front lanai flows onto a small semi-private lawn with incredible views of the ocean and islands off Maui, while the back lanai is surrounded by gorgeous tropical landscaping.
