Wailea Beach Villas surpassed all expectations - it was absolutely perfect for our family. We stayed in penthouse 505 with our sons, ages 21 & 17, and we could not have asked for a better location and home for the week. The penthouse itself was gorgeous and spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and primary room. We loved the private elevator and patio with all the things we would need for a beach day. But the best part of this resort is the proximity to the Wailea Shops and the surrounding resorts - when I was booking this trip I was really on the fence between staying at a classic resort with all the restaurants and shops, or renting this penthouse knowing the resort did not have the typical amenities of a place like the Four Seasons, but you do not need it at all. The shops are steps away and have everything you would ever want, from food and shopping to the AB store and market, and then you can walk to the surrounding resorts for dinners. And the beach access was incredible - they have private chairs and umbrellas they set up for you on the beach that is shared with Grand Wailea and Four Seasons and we had zero wait for chairs all week. The pool was also not crowded at all until the last day, which was a Thursday and more people were arriving. Overall this was one of the best family vacations we have ever had and we can not wait to come back - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
