Stunning BEACHFRONT Luxury Makena Escape; Freshly Fully Remodeled 2023


No other condo on Maui can beat this beachfront location and upscale modernity mixed with Hawaiian beachfront chic. Full remodel finished in December 2023.

Located in the oceanfront B Building, the entire unit faces outwards over the Pacific Ocean through a fifteen foot length glass door. The first thing visitors say is, “oh god, it looks exactly like the pictures. Wow.”

Through the door, the lanai has a view that makes even the locals say, "wow." Even the professional pictures I had done don’t do the experience justice. You will fall in love with it instantly, it is truly amazing.

The lanai is the perfect place for you to relax and find peace watching the ocean, easily spot whales playing in the Pacific, watch the unobstructed sunsets, and stargaze and relax. You can also bbq under the sun from the privacy of your own lanai, which is rare on Maui.

In front of the condo is Chang’s beach, more commonly referred to as “turtle town.” If you take a snorkel tour of South Maui, those boats will likely take you to these shores to experience some of Maui’s most lively snorkeling. You will see turtles if you snorkel here, they are everywhere at Chang’s. Many guests have taken themselves on their own whale watch trip by paddle boarding in the morning. (Paddleboards and Kayaks are not provided, they must be rented).

Walking back through the lanai, the condo provides its own luxuries. A modern and comfortably furnished living room is the perfect place to spend your morning eating breakfast while listening to the ocean waves crash. The kitchen is fully equipped for you, while the BBQ is also only steps away from the dining room.

The kitchen, dining area, and living area were all recently furnished and remodeled in the Fall of 2023. The furniture is a mix of classic brand names and has incredible style.

Each bedroom has its own separate full bathroom.

Not to miss a game or an episode, the living room also features an entertainment center with a 65 inch Samsung LED SmartTv as well as an Roku, a Bose sound bar, and a "take one, leave one" book library. Both the living room and bedroom TVs have cable and RokuTv.

Just out the front door of the B Building are a heated pool and hot tub exclusively for guests of the Makena Surf B building, perfect for floating in the sun or soaking your body after a day spent on the sand. Adjacent to the pool are two well-maintained tennis courts, pickle ball courts, and a tropical garden. Four tennis rackets are provided, as well as tennis balls. Tennis lessons and clinics are also available during certain periods. Pickleball set is also provided in the utility locker.

The condo has an activity locker that is loaded with all the beach and leisure supplies you would want in Hawaii. There are complete sets of adult and children’s fins and snorkels, boogie boards, pool noodles, four tennis rackets, pickle ball set, children’s beach toys, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and some other nicknacks left behind by prior guests.

The condo kitchen is fully stocked as if you had lived there for several years. It is ready to handle all of your cooking, baking, and BBQ’ing needs.

If you have any questions, please ask. I am glad to act as a concierge to guide your reservations to the best restaurants, boating services, spas, and hidden local gems. There is also a welcome book with much of this advice in writing.

Disclaimers:
- Visitors from Canada: Before booking, pay attention to your flight times. Almost all flights to Canada from Maui leave AFTER 10pm. Unfortunately, after many bad actors late check out is not available for this unit. If you would like to use the unit “for the day” you will need to reserve another full day- No exceptions.
- This unit does not sleep five adults, unless the fifth is a baby in a crib. Four adults maximum.
- There are several tools provided to make awesome coffee: drip, k cup, nespresso, pourover. Guests are responsible for acquiring their own coffee/pods/grounds/beans.

Excellent Location
The location of this condo is as good as you can get in Maui. We usually stay at the Fairmont but the beach here is much better and quieter. We stayed for a month and would love to have stayed longer. Peter is very responsive and helpful. The unit is well appointed and very clean. The views from the patio are as close to the beach as you can get with remarkable sunsets. I wish I was still there!

Perfect getaway
The condo is well equipped with beach equipment including snorkel gear, beach chairs, towels as well as the kitchen including a barbecue on the lanai. The beach out front of the condo is not busy and we would see turtles everyday.

Not quite what we expected.
We have rented several units @ Makena Surf over the years (all have been 5 star)! But this one was the most expensive one we've ever rented and it was a bit disappointing. Here's a few things that caused concern: -master toilet making noise causing neighbors below to complain. -no decent beach chairs -lights in guest bath missing bulbs -carpets dirty -leak under master bath sink -grill left dirty with propane almost gone -no secure safe as advertised -dishwasher broke down and no dishwasher for a couple of weeks -washing machine broke down day before we left
Stayed 35 nights in Jan 2022

About the host

Hosted by Peter Shenkin

Host profile image
The Shenkin Family has been in love with Maui since the 1950's, when Budd and Ann began spending lengths of time here as young children. Since then, they have passed their love of Hawaii, and Maui in particular, to the rest of their family, including their son Peter who makes his home on Maui.

As a family, we are proud to be a part of Maui's small community and we are proud to own at the Makena Surf. We want to show all of the sincere and relaxing beauty of Maui and her beaches, and we hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Makena Surf is the premier destination for condo travelers on Maui. It offers the best views of the Pacific Ocean from each unit, especially the B Building, which is the only ocean front condo building in South Maui. This unit is on the top floor of the B Building and has every advantage to it: being on the top floor, oceanfront, exclusive, quiet, modern, and elegant.

What makes this property unique

There is simply nowhere as beautiful and as inspiring as living on the water on Chang's beach. There are few places in the world as scenic and as private as the beaches of Makena Surf in South Maui. It's no wonder that the surrounding real estate has transformed in the last fifteen years into a "billionaires alley" with tycoons of business and finance snapping up all of the nearby real estate.
