Came here with kids 15 years ago so decided to re-visit. Unit was very small, no real customer service with Vacasa as their rental go between. Rediculous 10 AM check out and 4 PM check in, no flexibility. Just get a Bot responding to requests for exceptions. Basically you get 18 hours for $500.

Long overdue on this review since we stayed at Mahina Surf late January into early Feb. It is an awesome place to stay. I have stayed here many times and always feel compelled to return. It is an expensive place, but with a beautiful view. You can't beat the presence of the honu. They always make me smile.
Jim, does an excellent job as
property manager. He goes above and beyond. Mahalo for all you do.

Management company and owner failed to inform us that there would be daily major reconstruction on the unit we shared a wall with. Spring break. Unbelievable.
Location of end unit is prime, but the unit is shabby. Dark and dirty tile grout throughout and in bathrooms. Tattered curtain’s bar stools, bed, and sofa. Management company shows only 5 star ratings, there is a lack of integrity there. Reviews are meant to share the truth, to show transparency with future potential customers. If I owned this unit I would not rent it as is. We were loyal Mahina Surf visitors for 11 years. This unit just feels icky.

Great location with a stunning ocean view! Heated pool and Weber BBQs make for a superb place to hang out. Absolutely recommended place. The unit had a lovely layout with a mezzanine and has two bathrooms, though only one bedroom. Worked fine without AC in February. It is well equipped, also with beach chairs and beach toys and snorkels.
I’m one star short of excellent as the cleanliness wasn’t to my standard. It needed a deep clean as some surfaces, light switches and handles/knobs weren’t clean.

Our go-to place for when we stay on Maui. We spent most of the time out on the lanai whale watching. The small kitchen is a plus. Helps save boo-coo $$$ on food.

The condo that we rented is older but very well kept. The management there is amazing. We were locked out of Lahaina due to the fires and the manager took extra time to make sure that all of our belongings were packed up. We met so many wonderful guests there that we regret not getting contact info before we had to leave. We will be back. :-)

I booked a 6 night vacation for my daughter through Vacasa Vacation rentals at the Mahaina Surf Rental Co. She was in unit 127. Upon arrival, the parking pass was missing along with a welcome packet. Called Vincent who supposedly was the rental manager. He was a total jerk and completely unprofessional. Issues with the unit included, windows that would not stay shut, bedroom door practically off the hinges and would not close, no sound to the TV, and a bed that sucked. I want to add, on the 2nd day of this trip, Maui was caught in the horrific winds and fires that devastated most of the island. The units at Mahaina Surf were ill equipped to deal with any disaster. No power, internet, or access to food. Any food brought or found had to be heated on a single burner stove located outside by the pool, which had to be shared by over a dozen residents of the complex. Mahaina Surf management...you're on a freakin island prone to high winds, fires, and lava flows. It would be prudent to, at the very least, have emergency provisions in each unit, or at least some manner of survival supplies. They would have been helpful to your renters, if not the locals who were impacted by this catrostic event. Not posting a picture. We won't be back to Mahaina Surf or use Vacasa services again.

We've been coming here since the 80s and not much has changed about this place. It is well-maintained, considering its age. At some point, the owners sold off each unit and now every unit there is individually owned and managed thru Vacasa . com (at least that is who you end up booking with when you go to Mahina Surf's website to make a reservation. Therefore, amenities will vary by unit. There is a review here from June '23 stating her unit provided everything (beach chairs, cooler, etc.). She was lucky her unit provided that, but those are not standard amenities the property provides. My unit (#221) had some old random pool noodles and boogie board.Maui is gorgeous and this property is just as beautiful in the photos and is right on the ocean, but just know, your beach access is a beach full of rocks. It's not your regular swimming beach. There's nowhere you can take a stroll on the sand. Either way, most ppl will drive to see all the other wonderful beaches in Maui. Units there are only 1 or 2 bed. 2 bed units are all on 2nd floor. You get a full kitchen with standard amenities (dishes, cookware, utensils, etc.) Some units like mine had cooking spices in the cupboards, leftover pantry items like coffee, sugar as well as plastic containers food prep dishes. Property has a nice pool. No umbrellas (they get blown away by wind) there but plenty of lounge chairs and a few tables.You are equipped with ONE set of bath &beach towels & bed linens. That's it. So depending on how long you will stay, you will need to wash. There's co-op machines. Our unit provided about 5 loads worth of laundry detergent & tabs for the dishwasher. You need to be careful and read about what each unit provides before you book, because it tells you. They DO NOT provide any cleaning supplies. SO BRING YOUR OWN. I brought a 3oz TSA approved spray bottle of Formula 409 and Clorox wipes. You will need to clean because of bugs. There's a Safeway (Vons) nearby & a Costco close to the airport. Costco will have the best prices. Also tons of ABC stores (Hawaii-based general store) where you can get just about everything--but EXPENSIVE. The units have louvered windows and a huge glass sliding door to the balcony/lanai so there's a lot of openness, hence bugs. You may find bug traps (ours had them). It's Hawaii, there's bugs. Anyway, you really can't get away with keeping everything closed up because none of the units there have any AC. I went in July and it was quite hot. There is almost always a breeze, so it's tolerable, but just so. I've also been there in November, but that was 20 years ago, so with climate changes, who knows now lol. Vacasa also provided a few hotel-style toiletries like shampoo and lotion, but bring your own from home because buying at the store is very pricey. A small package of baby wipes at the store was almost $10 for example! Nevertheless, it is Hawaii and almost everything will be double if not more than the mainland.
