I usually stay at Ekolu Village but couldn't find a place there. Ended up here in Ekahi. The gardens are beautiful and mature, but the complex is more dense. That took getting used to. But the complex is nice, as is it's beachfront access and pool.
A couple things: when I first reserved the condo, the host came back with slightly higher price than VRBO said. When I asked why, I was told it was passing on the fee for the owner to transfer the money out from VRBO (or something like that). In many years of using VRBO I've never heard of such a thing. But it worked out to ~one hundred $. I was afraid to lose the place so close to my departure, so I sucked it up. If it had been a little further out, I would have walked.
The unit is nice, especially the lanai. It is a little on the darker side as some have commented, but that's just part of being a downstairs unit - but it's also nice that you don't have to walk up stairs just to get in the front door. There's an outdoor closet with chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, ice chest, snorkel gear, etc - so be sure to check it out before you buy or rent a bunch of gear.
Lastly, the unit is not at the end of Malukai Ln where the VRBO map shows it. It's actually right off Wailea Alanui Dr. At first I was super irritated as traffic noise drives me crazy. But, in the end, I never once heard a car go by. But I suggest you look at an Ekahi map to see where this unit (or any Ekahi unit) actually sits.
