Wailea Ekahi Ocean Studio: Couples Retreat, Just 300 Feet To Keawakapu Beach
IMPORTANT — August 10 to October 16, 2026 Only: OCEANFRONT POOL IS CLOSED AND SIGNIFICANT NOISE AND CONSTRUCTION WILL OCCUR DURING THESE DATES. RATES ARE REDUCED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. See full details at the end of this description.
RESERVATIONS OUTSIDE OF THESE DATES WILL BE UNAFFECTED.
Ekahi Ocean Studio is a studio perfectly located in the lower village of Wailea Ekahi (#8C), a lush-landscaped paradise, just steps from the oceanfront pool and to world-renowned Keawakapu beach. This studio is perfect for couples seeking a peaceful, romantic retreat. You can spend your days lounging at the beach or oceanfront pool, running along the nearby beachfront pathway, exploring nearby Wailea restaurants and resorts or watching the sunset on your private Lanai.
Ekahi Ocean Studio is located on the "sunny side" of the island at Wailea Ekahi Village in the prestigious resort community of Wailea, Maui. This tropical paradise is set amongst 34 acres of tropical landscaping and is steps away from the Oceanfront pool and covered pavilion with a private entrance onto the world-renowned Keawakapu beach. Our studio is perfectly located on the central resort greenway, just a few steps to the oceanfront pool and situated far away from the thru-roads and traffic noise of Wailea.
The property grounds feature 34 acres of tropical gardens, four swimming pools, paddle tennis, shuffleboard, a private lanai and gas barbecue grill.
In addition to the resort amenities at Wailea Ekahi Village, this studio comes with parking for one vehicle, wifi internet and cable included.
MORE CONSTRUCTION DETAILS FOR STAYS AUG 10, 2026 to OCTOBER 16, 2026
The resort's oceanfront pool deck will undergo major resurfacing From Aug 10-Oct 16, 2026. Our studio is located very close to this project area. What to Expect:
Daytime noise and dust: Weekday construction (approximately 7am–5pm) will generate significant noise and dust that will impact our condo given its proximity. Weekdays during work hours will not be a quiet period for reading, relaxing, or daytime activities at the condo. Beach access: The Ekahi private beach gate will be closed. Beach access during construction is via the nearby public beach access point (very short walk from property). This remains open throughout the project. Pavilion status: The oceanfront pavilion facilities (kitchen, bathrooms, gym, BBQ) may be available but are subject to unexpected closures during active construction. Do not plan activities around pavilion access.
During Construction, this condo will be ideal for: guests who will be out exploring Maui, at the beach, or away from the property during daytime hours, those seeking an oceanfront location at a reduced rate who can work around construction noise and guests with flexible schedules who don't require a quiet daytime retreat
During Construction, Not Recommended For:
Remote workers or guests needing quiet workspace during the day Guests planning to relax on the lanai or enjoy peaceful interior time Those prioritizing the pavilion or private beach gate access
Rate Adjustment: This period is offered at a significantly reduced nightly rate to reflect the construction-related disruptions and noise. By booking these dates, you acknowledge and accept the construction conditions described above.

Aloha Justin, thank you for your lovely review! We are happy you chose Ekahi Ocean Studio and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Just a perfect place for a couple to spend a week. Very close to the pool and beach. This was one of my favorite beaches on Maui. Low key and quiet. The AC worked great and kitchen was well stocked. I also liked how close it was to the fabulous grocery store and restaurants in Wailea.
Great location!!! This particular studio is very close to the pool, cabana and beach as well as restaurants and other beaches!! Beautiful studio with everything we needed! The owners thought of everything!

Aloha Debra, Thank you for choosing Ekahi Ocean Studio! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and are looking forward to hosting you in the future.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful studio condo! Everything was exceptional: ease of check in & check out, location & all the thoutful details: kitchen is well equipped, comfy bed, steps to beach, pool, oceanfront walking path & even pickleball courts!
We got to see the turtle rescue by the local honu rescue right in front of the complex. Walked to morimotos. The mini split air conditioning upgrade was great. Great stay.
We had a wonderful stay, the property was beautiful, the studio was clean and very comfortable with all the comforts of home. We have been coming to Maui for four years now and this is our favorite place to stay!
We loved our stay in your cozy, clean condo! It had everything we needed and it was super close proximity to the pavilion and beach! We ate our meals on the patio to the wonderful birdsong in the morning! A++!!😁
Thank you for sharing you spectacular Maui home! Your condo was very well appointed with everything you need to enjoy a meal at home, beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. The location was phenomenal, just steps away from the pool and beach. My stay was so enjoyable and relaxing! I can't wait to come back again. Mahalo!
We absolutely loved our stay in your lovely condo, booking and accessing a breeze..thank you! The studio was well stocked, very well located and most of all private. We enjoyed the beach every day and will certainly return again...Highly recommended accomodation!

Aloha, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and you are welcome back anytime. Mahalo!
The complex is really nice with easy access to a very nice beach and 4 pools. The landscaping is beautiful and well maintained. Fancy resort hotels are within easy walking distance which is great of you want to grab happy hour or a nice dinner out or a spa experience. This particular unit is perfect for 2 people. It has plenty of room, is really well stocked with everything you need and is truly just 300 feet from the main pool and beach. We really like Wailea and I would stay at this unit every time. It was perfect.
We booked a short stay to enjoy some relaxation after helping family in Kihei move. Due to the fires, our flights were cancelled, and thankfully, the hosts were able to extend our stay. Not a vacation, but a beautiful and safe location to ride out the trip.

Great Time in Ekahi Village
My wife and I really enjoyed the studio. All the basics were supplied along with a few extras such as condiments. The location was wonderful being minutes from the beach. We will definitely look at booking this unit again.

Aloha Frank, Thank you for staying at Ekahi Ocean Studio. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay! Mahalo!
I’ve been coming to Ekahi Village for over 15 years and it is a joy every time. Unit 8C is a perfect studio and so close to the main pool and beach…. The unit is very well stocked which is appreciated. The bed has a super comfy mattress and the patio is very private. Can’t wait to come back.

About the host
Hosted by owner/property manager
We're David and Laura, two entrepreneurs from Boulder, Colorado who love to travel. When we're not enjoying it ourselves, we welcome guests to our oceanfront studio in Wailea, Maui. Avid gardeners and cooks, our properties are truly one-of-a-kind homes that offer beautiful natural settings, welcoming design and well-appointed kitchens.
We hope you will enjoy Ekahi Ocean Studio as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We spent years waiting for the perfect unit at Wailea Ekahi. We wanted a studio (perfect for just the two of us) that was ground floor, nestled into the tropical landscaping, but steps to the beach with an ocean view from the Lanai. When we saw Ekahi 8C, we knew it was just what we'd been waiting for - a beautiful kitchen, an amazing view from the Lanai (patio) and just 300 feet to the ocean's edge on Keawakapu beach.
What makes this property unique
Building 8 at Wailea Ekahi is a level walk to the oceanfront pool and pavilion (unlike many units where you need to walk up and down the main hill of the greenway). While we're just 300 feet to the beach, the studio still feels private and secluded due to the tropical landscaping and ground floor location. Wailea Ekahi is our favorite place in all of Maui due to its mature and established tropical landscaping. I am happiest on our patio watching birds, geckos and (in season) whales jumping in the ocean.
