Maui Activities
Our Favorite Maui Activities
Over the years of coming to Maui, my wife, Lory, and I have come up with an extensive list of our “Favorites.” This list is fluid, so check back to see updates. We also welcome your ideas and comments. After all, Maui No Ka Oi!
Some of the links below are directly to the activity but many are to our concierge’s info on the activity. it’s worth it to talk with Concierge Connection, as they will ask the questions you don’t know to ask to ensure you get the perfect activity and provider for your group. The concierge may come up with some new ideas, as well. Our family and many of our guests have had special tours arranged by Sandi, Mona and Concierge Connection.
Exciting Adventures
Stand Up Paddle Boarding
"SUP" can be a ton of fun. Go in the morning when the ocean is as smooth as ice. You can rent boards, or if you are new and just want to try it out, there are good SUP Schools here, too.
Canoeing & Snorkeling
A fun cultural trip to bring you back to the ancient Hawaiians is the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe and Snorkel Adventure. Better known as the Maui Sailing Canoe this is a fun time for all to go out on the water, snorkel and experience the ocean as the Hawaiians did many years ago.
Zipline
This activity is gaining popularity on Maui, so you should book in advance as they fill up quickly, especially if you are coming during High Season. I have done the one in Ka’anapali and the one by Haleakala- both are awesome. Skyline Eco is our favorite.
Blue Water Rafting
A MUST – we LOVED IT! Do the Kanaio/ Molokini Tour – you don’t have to get out and snorkel if you don’t want to (Lory didn’t), but the extended trip to Molokini is well worth it! You can see the fish in the water while you are on the boat. The added bonus is that during whale season (Nov – May), you will get a mini-whale watch too!
Whale Watching
Another MUST during Whale season (most tour groups guarantee sightings mid-Nov until early May)
The Road to Hana
Crazy, twisty roads on sea cliffs- but BEAUTIFUL!!! Make sure to pick up the CD that you play as you drive. This will tell you where to pull off to take one of the many hikes to the BEAUTIFUL waterfalls!!!
Deep-Sea Fishing
We caught 5 mahi mahi and 2 ahi tuna last January by taking a 9-hour private tour. You can do shared tours as well, and pack a lunch and beverages, too. Don’t forget to take your sea sickness pills before leaving, because the ocean can be choppy out near the DNR’s buoy
The Snorkel Store
A great Maui resource for beach rental equipment. Use this code at check out for a $20 savings ($20wev).
Haleakala Crater/Volcano
This is amazing! Lots of hiking trails, you can even bike down the volcano. Also, the best sunrise EVER!! Wear LAYERS- if you go to watch the Sunrise, the mountaintop is SUPER COLD in the winter months until the sun comes up.
Sunsets
Our area offers some of the best sunsets I have ever seen!! Best seen from Wailea of course. Try to get dinner reservations around sunset with an ocean view!!! My favorite is to head down to the main pool at Ekahi Village with some pupus (Hawaiian for appetizers) and beverages.
Helicopter Tours
One of the best ways to see Maui and the surrounding Islands. Breathtaking! Lory and I do one almost every visit. The best tours are West Maui & Molokai, Maui Spectacular and Maui-Big Island. Check out Blue Hawaiian for the best rides.
Pau Vodka Tour
PAU Maui Vodka is known as an authentic expression of aloha which encompasses the gratitude for Maui’s agriculture, passion for the Hawaiian Islands and a strong love of its people.
Ocean Vodka Tour
This tour is an organic farm and distillery experience.
Maui Brewing Company
Experience Maui with a guided tasting of their four flagship beers with a knowledgeable craft beer curator.
Maui Wine Tours
These wines are made from estate-grown grapes, pineapple, and raspberries.
Did You Know?
Maui’s most famous and the largest dormant volcano in the world is Haleakala. Its crater is 21 miles across and 4,000 feet deep. In comparison, the entire island of Manhattan could fit inside.
Delicious Dining
Mama’s Fish House
In Paia. Great food and awesome views. AMAZING.
Lahaina Grill
In Lahaina. This is Lory’s favorite restaurant.
Humu
At Grand Wailea. The setting outside is really nice, tropical.
Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant
Located at the Shops of Wailea. The BEST Pina Coladas and great happy hour! The macadamia nut crusted Opakapaka is Matt’s favorite.
Ferraro’s
At Four Seasons, Wailea.
Spago
At Four Seasons, Wailea.
Gannon’s
Great happy hour and great for post-golf at Wailea Golf Course.
Manoli’s
Up the hill from the Shops of Wailea. This Italian themed restaurant is a perfect place for pizza when you are sick of seafood! Great bar and many TVs.
Cheeseburger In Paradise
Located in the Shops of Wailea with another on Front Street in Lahaina which has a great view. Good happy hour in the Front Street location that is on the ocean.
Mulligan’s on the Blue
A fun Irish bar in Wailea, Hawaii!! AMAZING VIEWS. Best for beer and happy hour, the food is starting to slip.
Five Palms
Beautiful location in Wailea on the beach. Go for happy hour and to catch the sunset.
Fred’s Mexican Cafe
Don’t laugh. I know, you don’t come to Maui for Mexican food. But when you have had sushi and mahi mahi for days straight, this place is good! Good drinks, across from the beach, has a good breakfast too, and did I mention it’s across from the beach? Great for happy hour to watch the sunset or whales.
Longhi’s
Shrimp Longhi is great, and if they bring back the Coconut Cream Pie, get a piece! One at the shops of Wailea and one on Front Street in Lahaina.
Paia Fish Market
A fun hole-in-the-wall fish market. Family-style seating on picnic tables.
The Plantation House
Nice views of the ocean and surrounding Islands. Oh, if you are here in early January, you just might see Rory, Tiger, Sergio, Phil or any number of other PGA stars as they play in the Champions Tournament in Kapalua.
Kihei Caffe
On the strip in Kihei, good breakfast (they are only open for breakfast and lunch) and cash only.
KO
Fairmont Kea Lani, Wailea
Haliimaile General Store
Yes, go! Great food and a fun little adventure. Up Country in Haliimaile.
Duo
At the Four Seasons in Wailea
Mala
In Lahaina good happy hour.
Down The Hatch
A fun outdoor spot for drinks / pupus before after a whale watch or shopping in Lahaina.
Hopper Maui
I liked Hopper Maui for local restaurants. (only one I think that has Cuatro)
InstaCart
Does the grocery shopping and delivery for Safeway and Costco – shopper contacts you if food choices are not available.
Amazon
Prime shops & delivers from WHOLE FOODS
Check out our full Restaurant list here!
Fun Fact
Approximately 10,000 humpback whales migrate to Maui each year.
Golf Courses
Wailea Golf Courses
There are 3 great 18-hole courses. If you stay at Ekahi, make sure you ask for the “Wailea Resort” discount. The three courses here are the Gold and Emerald (both located at Gannon’s Restaurant) and the Blue (previously at Mulligans but now at Manoli’s above the Shops of Wailea). My order: Gold, Blue, Emerald.
Maui Nui Golf Course
Previously the Elleair Golf Course. They have a great ocean view from their “19th hole” and are across the street from The Maui Brewing Company – my preferred 19th hole for drinks and food. Pro Tip: If you are coming for an extended time, Maui Nui will negotiate a multi-day / tee time package.
Kapalua Golf Course
Take on the Plantation Course, home to the PGA Tour’s Tournament of Champions. There are two world class courses here, and a great restaurant too, so if you want to play you can also try the Bay Course. Their pro shop is always open so you can look like you played here even if you did not (with $500 + green fees, the golf shirt might be a better deal). If you do tee it up here, you’ll take on a course that tamed Tiger and many professional golfers.
The Kaanapali Resort
The Kaanapali resort area has a few courses. I find them to be the most crowded and not too scenic. You can see whales in season at the Wailea courses, and Maui Nui.
Public Courses near Wailea
Some other courses near Wailea that I like are the Kahili Golf Course (on the foothills of the West Maui Mountain), The Dunes at Maui Lani, and an upcountry gem, the Pukalani Country (they have public rates.
Golf Club Rental
Personally, I bring my clubs with me when I travel. However, all of the resort courses will offer rental clubs. If you want to play with good clubs, check out the Maui Golf Shop in Kihei. They rent out new and used clubs at great rates.

We loved our stay at 11E. All our senses were awakened like from a long winters nap. The fragrance of flowers greeted us as we entered the courtyard of this building. The sounds of the birds was such a delight, and the ocean sounds just a short walk away. The sights from the unit were so soothing- green from the lawn, colors from the flowers about and the ocean in view. We enjoyed the quiet pool and the larger pool by the ocean and we loved the beach and ocean a short walk from the condo. The pavilion at the large pool was a gathering place for people to play games or cards or eat or get out of short rain falls. And a shower there for rinsing off. Perfect for families. In the evening the ritual of sitting on the long lawn for sunset with others in the community, or sitting on the lanai of our condo. We used the community grill near our condo when we didn't venture out for dinner. The condo itself was very comfortable with lots of touches by the owners including binoculars and beach towels and equipment. The bed and bedding ensured restful sleep. We would love to return to 11E!

This condo was fanatics. It had everything we needed for a great holiday. The view from the Lanai of passing whales was amazing and never failed to please. It was only a short walk down to the beach where we enjoyed amazing swimming no snorkelling right out front of the Ekahi main gate to the beach. There was a great pool just next to the condo and availability of BBQs nearby. I had amazing service from Matt Pauli, who kept in constant contact and was a t4eat source of local information. All in all this apartment was great value for money and very lose to everywhere.

We stayed at Kihei Surfside Condo 212 and can whole-heartedly recommend renting from this wonderful family! The unit itself was particularly tasteful in its decor, with all the kitchen amenities you could need. I was happy to have a tea kettle and tea pot since so many places have just the de rigueur coffee maker! I'm not usually a fan of mirrored walls, but the one in the dining area reflected the gorgeous parklands and made it look like an IMAX screen! I really liked the linens and bed, very comfy, and the unit was pristine clean. The HOA is in the process of installing AC (not too noisy when the work is being done) but we definitely had no need for it since the breezes were more than ample. Two nice beach chairs, two umbrellas, beach towels, and a small cooler made going to the beaches a breeze. If you don't want to hang on the beach after the trade winds kick up in the afternoon, head out to the meticulously maintained lawn overlooking the ocean and pool. There is also a turtle resting area mere steps away - be sure not to get too close in your quest for photos. Respect the honu! Nightly sunset celebrations have a Norman Rockwell feel, with all sorts of families and folks gathering to frolic on the lawn and listen to the quartet of conch shell blowers usher out the sun. It was nice to have a combo lock to the condo so you don't have to worry about lugging a key or card around. Matt was prompt and helpful in all communications and I'm already planning my next stay! Thank you, Matt, for sharing your lovely home.

We stayed in 3 condos at Ekahi Village for 10 days in December. The condos were wonderful and the surrounding property was kept up beautifully. Each of our condos had everything we needed and then some. My son had a small issue with the television and the owner took care of it quickly. The kids loved the new pavilion area and enjoyed the pool. Overall a great place to stay and so convenient to beaches and restaurants. I’d highly recommend Ekahi Village to families.

We have stayed at the same unit for many years now and we always go back to the same place. It is clean, comfortable, roomy and the views are awesome. It is a close 10 minute walk to the mall where one can find groceries asn well as abundant shopping. However we go there for the scenery and the place, a close 5 minute walkt through beautiful grounds to the beach and pool. It only took us one stay to be hooked onto this beautiful suite. Higly recomend it if you want quality, quiet, cofortable beautiful place to stay at.

We just returned from 48b and we had a fabulous time. It was perfect for my husband and I. Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Wailea Ekahi is the best location on Maui, and the resort is very well maintained. The pools are first class and the beach access from the property is fantastic. The toughest decision we faced was which pool to go to, and whether or not we should hit the beach first and then the pool, or the pool frost and then the beach.We will be back

This was our 5th trip to Maui and our 2nd time staying at Ekahi Village. We stayed in 48B and we have found "our place" now for when we visit Maui. The studio works great for us and while this unit is a further walk to the pool pavilion/beach, we love the location with the privacy it provides, a lanai that keeps us in the shade all day so we can be out there any time of the day, and the 5 min walk to the pool/beach is great exercise, quick and easy. One of the smaller pools is just steps away. Unit was spotless, comfortable, very nice features and everything you need to do your own meals, do your laundry and of course all the beach supplies you need, as well as pickleball paddles. The grounds at Ekahi are beautiful and well maintained, and we always feel safe and secure while staying there. Communication for everything we needed to know from the time we booked and throughout our stay was clear, timely and quick response to any questions we had. Thank you, Pauli Family, for a great vacation - we will certainly stay with you again and have already highly recommended you to our friends.

Amazing place, super-clean and well stocked with everything you'd ever want or need! So close to the beach it's just crazy! Close, easy parking, beautiful property overall.

My husband and I had a great time in Ekahi 01E! It was spotless on our early arrival, which was great to have the option of an early arrival! Comfy king bed, comfy furniture, great kitchen with sharp knives(!), and the washer and dryer was such a nice amenity as we were staying for 11 days. The sunset view from the balcony during dinner couldn't be beat... or so we thought until we went down to the pool and experienced the waves and view! Enjoyed its central location and being able to walk to the Shops at Wailea and along the boardwalk. I do not hesitate in recommending this condo for your stay on Maui. Matt and Anita (our Maui contact) responded to our questions in a very timely manner. We had the stay of a lifetime and so will you! Book it!!

We had a fantastic stay in Ekahi 13E! Communication with Matt was excellent and we were provided great check-in information. Arrival was easy with the keyless entry and the condo was spotless. The unit was nicely updated, has beautiful views, and lots of great amenities. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!

We had a wonderful stay in 20A. The condo was gorgeous and fully equipped to include everything we could have possibly needed. The grounds were beautiful and there was gorgeous (and ample - 3 lanais!) for all of us. We are looking forward to a second visit one day soon!

My husband and I had an amazing stay in Unit 13E at Ekahi Village. The condo is perfectly appointed, modern and super comfortable with a fantastic view from the lanai overlooking the the property and the beach. Matt is extremely responsive and hospitable. I highly recommend staying here as long as you possibly can! Thanks, Matt, for a wonderful stay!

The condominium was absolutely incredibly clean and beautiful the entire development was beautiful the pools especially the pool by the ocean the private beach everything was very very convenient to get to. We would not hesitate to stay there again on another trip very homey very very comfortable absolutely wonderful.

Just returned from our stay in 2F. This unit is on top of a hill facing the ocean so the views from the lanai are incredible. We loved starting and ending our days here. We went down to the beach on our second day but those trade winds are no joke, and after getting a few mouthfuls of sand we were lucky enough to grab a couple of loungers by the pool.If you like designer fashion, the shops at Wailea are super close and have a few high end designer stores that offer special Hawaii pricing. We did need a car to get to pretty much anything else, so make sure to rent one or you'll be stuck.Communication was great and Matt was super quick and responsive on our first day when our code wasn't working. And the in unit laundry really came in handy after I fell in a mud puddle on our trip to Hana.My only 2 small wishes:providing some beach gear like a couple folding chairs and an umbrella so we could make the most of the beach which has no shade.Our AC unit instructions said not to set below 74 but with how hot it was, I was still pretty uncomfortable in the night. An additional freestanding fan would have been nice for some more cool air.Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in condo 20A and it was fantastic! Every room was clean, pretty and appeared newly updated and decorated. There were nice touches throughout the condo, plenty of beach necessities, towels and a great vacuum. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything you would need and the bathrooms had rain shower heads (loved it) with more than enough bathing/bathroom essentials for our week long stay. We had loads of fun with our visits from chickens and baby chicks. All the rooms had an AC unit and ceiling fan so we were all very comfortable at all times. The washer and dryer was a huge bonus for us and so happy that the detergent pods were provided. The beach was a super short walk away through the back patio door and the grounds landscaping was lush and full of bright blossoms that enhanced our island experience!The only thing is the second bedroom was supposed to have 2 twin beds separated, which was a bit of a hassle for us to resolve. We didn’t need an alarm clock, the roosters crow at 5:45 am…or earlier!These minor mishaps/surprises would not keep us away and we would certainly stay here again!

We stayed at 50B condo for 10 days in May for celebrating my daughter’s university graduation. We had a wonderful time in Wailea Ekahi village The resort is very clean and well maintained with beautiful gardens and easy access to the beach, also the pavilion is so great and beautiful area to accommodate guests by the overlooking ocean pool. The beach is very close and we loved our morning walk on the beach and also watching beautiful sunset by the pavilion every day.The location was perfect for us to go shopping at the Shop at Wailea within walking distance and also short walk to the beach.. Matt was very kind and helpful, easy to communicate. I really appreciated to have late check out option for our late flight (10pm). Past our 3 trips to Maui has been great but always challenging how yo spend the last day after check out till our late night flights. When I saw the late check out option was available to us, we booked it at the time of booking which made our last day so much easier and enjoyable. I think that is an excellent option and another reason to stay at Wailea Ekahi !! The 50B was very spacious and comfortable for us, We enjoyed dinner at the huge lanai with beautiful garden and partial ocean view. The kitchen was very well equipped with nice dishes, great quality pots and pans, very sharp Henkel knives. I love cooking so I really appreciate them. Master bedroom had very comfy king size bed with nice furniture, on suite bathrooms was beautiful and very spacious with a full size closets. It was great to have beach towel, breach chairs and coolers !Thank you for everything, Matt !! We really enjoyed our stay at 50B and we will be back for our next Maui trip for sure !!

We stayed at Ekahi Village May 2022 and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the condo is and the entire property. The highest compliment I can give is that we never had to think about our accommodations at all and just focused on having fun. We can’t wait to go back.

My wife and I would HIGHLY recommend Pauli Family Condos. We stayed in the 53E unit and it was everything we had hoped for. The view from the patio was stunning and the room had everything you’d need. The room included a beautiful shower, functional kitchen, comfy bed and living room space. Included with the room were awesome beach chairs, two kinds of coolers, and complimentary toiletries.The room was the perfect amount of walking distance from: the beach, the pool, gourmet markets, shopping, golf, and coffee shops (our favorite).You have so many options within walking distance and we couldn’t of asked for a nicer room. Anita did an excellent job prepping the room ahead of time and we are thankful for all staff member!10/10 stars, thank you for making our honeymoon memorable!!! We will be back, undoubtedly.

Thank you Matt for another great stay at Kamole One. This location is awesome and this unit #3 is the best loaded with beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. If you don’t know you are only 30 feet to the sand. Great communication with owner. Mahalo

we just stayed in 2B and it was perfect! It is well-stocked, and very comfortable. The view is lovely. Arrival and departure were very easy. This is not a criticism of the condo, but it would be helpful if the condo association placed more beach chairs and umbrellas around the pool area. People save them from early morning and after 9:00 a.m., it was impossible to procure shaded beach chairs during the day.

We stayed for a week in 53B and loved our unit. Matt was a wonderful host and the unit was lovely and private with ocean views. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Sitting at Kahului Airport already missing 1D. We had 8 fantastic nights in this luxury condo - photos just do not do it justice. We are already planning when we will be back. Location is premium Wailea - walking distance to everything and driving to West Maui for adventures was easy. Fantastic beach, pools, grounds, and the VIEW! My sister already booked their anniversary vacation at Ekahi via Matt — it really is that good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in 17C. The unit was as pictured..clean and bright. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and we appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas. The grounds at Wailea Ekahi Village are beautiful, the pools and bbq area outstanding and the beach is right outside the gate. Can't wait to go back!

First, we actually booked this trip two years ago and waited due to Covid. Matt worked with us and we are sure was frustrated by our constant indecisions over those two years. We finally made the trip. Second, all we can say is that it was perfect. Maui is fantastic and part of the reason for this was the Ekahi condo. Well appointed, in excellent condition, quiet, comfortable, nice location and more. Our only recommendation is to provide a USB plug in so that electronic devices can be charged. Thanks Matt for all your help and great accommodations. Literally a perfect trip.

Laid back vibe with spectacular grounds, service, amenities and everything provided and needed in our condo. Walking distance to beach, pool, restaurants, snorkeling, boardwalk, grocery store, etc. My husband and I look forward to returning. Our only regret, we could have stayed longer.

We are concluding our weekly stay in Condo 49D and have had a most wonderful time. The condo is spacious for 2 and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the lanai and even saw a whale breech this evening. The views are expansive and the condo is nicely appointed! The only negative is on the lanai there is some road noise but so grateful to have had this condo in our price point for the lovely Wailea area. The view overshadows the road noise (and you do not hear the road noise inside the condo). The quiet pools for adults only (pretty much) are fantastic. The beach is easily accessible! Swimming with the turtles was amazing!

An exceptional place and unit to stay at while you are enjoying the beauty and many activities on Maui. The condo (particularly the kitchen) was exceptional! The relaxing pavilion and close access to the awesome beach were definite highlights. Matt demonstrated an extremely high level of communication skills throughout the booking process and check-in. Well done!!

53E in Ekahi Village is your home in paradise. The studio is spacious and beautifully decorated. Everything you need for a relaxing and/or fun-filled vacation is at your disposal… from a quick walk to the beach and pool to a gourmet feast at home! 53E has everything you need and more. We especially enjoyed a glass of wine watching the sunset over the waves from your balcony. Of course, morning coffee watching the whales wasn’t too shabby either!Mahalo to the Pauli Family for making this so easy to book and enjoy!

We stayed at 24D for the Christmas holidays and we were impressed with how spacious the unit was, with high ceilings, lots of windows. The AC units would cool the place in no time with help from ceiling fans. Although unit is near the main road, if you closed the windows, you don't hear the traffic. We also were able to avail of beach umbrella, folding chairs, snorkeling gears and much more! To reach the beach, it is only a 5 minute walk. The grocery store is less than a mile away, only 15 minute walk. Very convenient! I would rent from Pauli Family again, maybe this time a unit closer to the beach since my husband likes to look out and see the ocean.

We stayed six nights in Unit 48B. The booking process was completed online and was very easy. Matt corresponded with us via email and his instructions were clear. I also organized a later checkout with Matt as our flight was not departing until 4 PM. We arrived to a very tidy and clean unit on the ground floor. The kitchen was stocked with newer kitchenware and lounge chairs/umbrellas/igloo cooler for the beach. There is a pool within a min walk and the main pool/pavilion area/beach access is about a five to six min walk. The Shops at Wailea are very close, Kihei is just a 15 min drive and we found an excellent restaurant - Kula Bistro (45 mins away), where we had our best meal of our stay. We had originally booked the Residence Inn and we are so glad that we changed to the Pauli's condo. We are already looking forward to our next trip back.

Loved that this location has beach access! It was one of my main points when booking our trip and luckily I found this place. Our condo was very clean and updated, we were very close to your pool and beach! Gorgeous views and very clean! For us it was very quite as well which we appreciated but that might be different depending what unit you stay in.Overall, loved this place and would definitely recommend and come back.

We recently stayed in the Pauli Family condo, 21A, in Ekahi Village, Maui, October 14 to 21, 2021. We absolutely loved the condo. It is well appointed, comfortable, spacious, and very clean. It comes with everything you need to cook a meal as well as various pieces of equipment for relaxing on the beach or enjoying water activities.The unit is about a two-minute walk to the beach using the public access road that runs behind the compound. Although there is only a small view of the ocean, the soothing sound of the waves can be clearly heard, especially at night.The Shops at Wailea and downtown Kihei are only a few minutes drive away. Ekahi Village is well located for shopping, dining, and golfing. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

My husband and I just spent a magical 8 days in Ekahi condo #20A with another couple. The condo was absolutely perfect from the comfortable and stylish furnishings, to the three lanai's with a beautiful yard and view of the ocean through the palm trees (picture attached at sunset). The condo was filled with absolutely everything we needed to visit the beach (3 minute walk away and picture attached), visit the pool, cook meals, tidy up, and have great dinners that we either made or picked up from one of the many restaurants and food trucks near by. We loved to see the birds, the kitties, the gecko's and butterflies around the property. Thanks so much to Matt for helping make this a vacation to remember!

We spent 5 nites here in September. It's an exceptionally well-appointed unit with a well-stocked kitchen; roomy with multiple lanais. The location is great, though it's difficult to have a bad location in the Ekahi village. One minor drawback is that the bathrooms are somewhat open to the bedrooms which I assume is to allow for ventilation. But that means that the bathrooms are not completely walled off from the sleeping areas so using the loo early in the morning can wake up your partner either through noise or light.

These condos are fabulous! Fantastic view of the ocean. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything that allowed us to have a wonderful time in Maui. I will return to Wailea Ekahi Village on my next trip to Maui.

We wanted to thank you for sharing your home with us. We have been visiting Hawaii annually since 2005. However, this stay was special because we were celebrating our 50th Anniversary . Your condo (49D) has a homey comfortable feel. We so appreciated the Asian art & artifacts...and the spectacular view & location goes without saying. We also wanted to thank Cheri for being so attentive to our needs during our stay.

This is an amazing place! The condo 11E is wonderful and perfect for a family of four. Very close to the beach and with amazing views! The hosts are also very nice. Matt has been very responsive and helped us with any question we had. Mahalo.

We absolutely LOVED our 1-week stay in 49D! This is our 4th time in Maui and our BEST accommodations ever! We had an amazing ocean view in our condo, thoroughly enjoyed cooking in our fully-equipped kitchen, appreciated the lovely manicured grounds of Ekahi Village, enjoyed the walk to & from the beach each day, and loved the convenient location. We can't wait to come back!!! Matt is great to work with and made booking so easy.

This place was amazing. 2 of my friends and I stayed there for a girls trip It had everything you could possibly need. It was clean, spacious and updated. I would recommend it to anyone. My friends and I did a lot of research before picking a spot to stay and we are so glad we chose this condo! It was so close to the pool and about 3-5 minute walk to the beach. The management team was very thorough and had great communication.

This was our second time staying in a Pauli Family condos. Both stays have been excellent. Matt is easy to work with and very responsive. The units are well equipped. The kitchens are fully functional (ie pots, pans, blender), also love that beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels are provided for use during your stay. The location is great, with a beautiful beach.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Wailea Ekahi Village. The resort is very well-maintained with several pools and direct access to a gorgeous stretch of beach – we walked and snorkeled along the beach each morning of our stay. The contactless check-in and checkout process was very smooth. Definitely recommend staying here, especially if you have a large group.The only thing I will note is that the concierge tried to charge me a $92 service fee at the time of my check-in even though I paid all fees when I first made the reservation. So just be careful that they don’t sneak in any charges.

I hesitate to write a review because I don't want the secret to get out. We stayed here for 6 nights and were blown away! Just to compare, we spent the last night of our vacation at a resort in Wailea and there's no comparison. Ekahi is not only more economical, but this place is 10x nicer than any resort on the island. This is officially our go-to beach vacation destination.

Great place to stay in Maui. Condo was great and well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Nice beach. Good snorkeling and a great view of the sunset. We will definitely be looking to stay at Wailea Ekahi Pauli family condos again.

My family of 4 spent 6 nights in unit 17F this month. We loved this spacious condo and the entire complex! We had a lovely ocean view from our unit and we were just a 5 minute walk from the beach. The landscaping of the grounds is gorgeous (see photo). The kitchen is very well-equipped and having a washer/dryer came in quite handy. The king bed was super comfortable. The little touches - reef conscious sunscreen available and dimmer switches on most of the lights - made us feel at home. We have stayed at many ocean view condos over the years and this one ranks among the top 2 for its comfort, its location, and its bang for your buck. Thank you to Matt Pauli for being so responsive as we were making our vacation plans.

We are at the end of wonderful stay. The condo is well described on the website. It is easy to find and access. It suits two people and has all the amenities you would need, including a full kitchen and laundry unit. It is 10 min from the beach and the main pool. The beach is connected to the other beaches and you could walk 1.5 miles of pure sand almost for yourself. Also, if you consider the rates in nearby hotels, it is a still. Wonderful place!

Great two weeks in Wailea Ekahi at Pauli condo 21A. This condo had been recently remodeled and was done really well. The bathrooms, bedroom, living room and kitchen were all well designed and felt like home. The kitchen was well supplied and had all the utensils needed. The appliances were great. Very nice lanai, which is where we had every meal while we were there. Great location, literally two minutes from the back door to the sand.Also, it should be noted that this trip had been canceled twice in 2020 due to covid. Matt Pauli was wonderful to work with and help us negotiate the cancellations with ease. We are very grateful for the professionalism and courtesy they extended. I would not hesitate to rent from them on our next Maui trip. I will be referring family members as well.

We stayed at Kamaole One #3 and had the best vacation ever in Maui. We’ve been coming to Maui for years and this was by far the best location and condo. I’d rate this 5 stars and we can’t wait to come back.

This unit is one of the exceptional one bedroom units as it has a large lanai with two very comfortable lounge chairs as well as a table outside with 5 comfortable chairs. The king bed is very comfortable and there are side windows as well as a door with a screen so one has plenty of air for sleeping. The living room is quite large with a comfortable couch and chairs and a large table with 4 chairs. The air conditioner in the bedroom and living room work well and are quiet if you need them. The view is quite lovely looking out to the ocean and the porch is secluded so people are not walking by and looking in as you are sitting there. We stayed here 11 nights during Covid (late January) and had great weather with no bugs and perfect beach temperatures without being too hot. It was an easy walk to the pavilion pool and beach and very close to one of the smaller pools. We had nice beach chairs and a beach umbrella! We were in 2BMatt Pauli was extremely nice, accommodating, easy to work with and made sure that we had what we needed as well as allowing us late checkout as we had a very important call that we had to take shortly after checkout. We would definitely recommend a unit that he might own or mange.

Matt was wonderful to communicate with and extremely accommodating. The unit we stayed in (2B) was AMAZING!!! It had everything we needed. When I opened the front door, the first words that came out of my mouth were "OH MY!!". The view of the ocean from the lanai was breathtaking! We were able to watch the whales and admire the beautiful sunsets. Thank you again, Matt, for taking such good care of us. Mahalo!!

Ekahi village is beautiful and this condo is amazing! Stocked with everything you could possibly need. We have stayed in many, many condos while travelling and this was one of, if not the, best. Great sleeping quarters for the kids. Beautifully appointed and the views from the deck and master bedroom are unreal. We hope to come back and get to stay at 11E again!

Just completed a week stay in Condo #20A for our first trip ever to Maui and it was amazing! Well maintained and recently updated. The condo fit our group of 6 comfortably with room to spare. The pool for the Wailea Ekahi Village has stunning views and is connected to the ocean. Everything was top of the line and the friendliness of the owners couldn’t be beat. The location was ideal for all events on the island from visiting Lahaina and Kapalua to doing the Road to Hana and Haleakala. A walk to the beach is only 3 minutes away as it’s right across the street. In addition, a number of fabulous restaurants are less than 15 minutes away as it’s right off of S Kihei Rd. Highly recommend for all future visitors of Maui!

We stayed in 50E for 2 weeks and loved it so much we tried to book an extra week! It was already booked but Matt was able to accommodate us with another unit. He also helped us make the transfer simple by having us check out and check in the new unit at the same time. Speaking of accommodating, we have to say with all the rule changes amid this terrible pandemic Matt was extremely helpful with all my questions pre-arrival. As for the condo, it is very clean, nicely decorated with very comfortable furnishings. The large lanai leads out to a grassy knoll, and several evenings we sat outside on the grass and watched the perfect sunsets. Thank you to the Pauli family for making us feel so at home in this lovely condo.

We made a last minute decision to go to Maui and were able to get our condo reserved on the same day we were flying in. We stayed in unit 20A and will definitely be back! The 2 bedroom unit was perfect for our family of 4. We loved eating outside every night and the easy walk to the beach. Absolutely loved it!

Matt Pauli and the Pauli Family are first class owners who provide great Condos at affordable rates in Ekahi Village. But even more important, they actually care about the people that come to enjoy this beautiful place. This year we had to cancel our stay and Matt was completely helpful in working with us to defer our stay to a later date and even crediting a significant portion of our fees. We were traveling with others who had similar circumstances and the other condo owners took the approach of keeping the majority of the money even though people were unable to travel because of health reasons that were out of their control. This is exactly the kind of quality we look for in an owner and it drives the kind of allegiance of guests like us wanting to come back year after year to stay and invest their vacation time with someone who cares about them as more than a financial relationship. Hats off to Matt and the Pauli family.
We would highly recommend this property to everyone traveling to Maui in the future! Please keep The Pauli Family owners in mind!

Our stay with Pauli Family Condos was AMAZING !
This is our second time renting with them in a different unit and our experience was A+ from start to finish . 1D is stunning and a true treasure which I would like to keep a secret so don’t share with anyone else , lol.
We have been coming to Ekahi village for close to 20 years and have rented through a variety of places , we will now only deal with Pauli going forward. There level of service in every aspect in impeccable . Thank you so very much !

My wife and I stayed in Kamaole One #3 and had an amazing vacation! Matt made the booking process so easy and was very responsive to my many questions via email--extremely professional service! As for Kamaole One #3: WOW!! Beautiful inside and out. Everything you need for vacation is there. The location in Kihei is great as it is walking distance to shops, restaurants, etc. The location to the beach can't be beat. Walk out the door, take about 30 steps and you are on a great beach! The views from the lanai were mesmerizing. I could go on and on....The bottom line: this is an incredible place to stay and the service was top notch! If you're considering Kamaole One #3: DO IT!! You will not be disappointed!!

Just returned home from our second stay at 21a in Wailea Ekahi. We love this unit! Cannot wait to return again next year. New owners have added some new features but it was already very well appointed. It is located very close to the main pavilion and beach and is in a quiet, private location. We highly recommend!

We rented this unit for two weeks over Christmas time. A family of five used the unit. Both parents and three children aged 7 to 2 years old.The unit was perfect for them. There was lots of sleeping room, the laundry room worked great, eating areas were fine and access to outside activity areas were excellent.It was a short walk to main pool and beach access. Parking spaces near the unit were always available.It was wonderful. Thank you very much Matt.

What a lovely condo (53b)! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed was super comfy, the view from the patio was stunning, & the location to walk to coffee, etc. was great. We always stay @ Ekahi when we visit Maui & we’ll definitely add this condo to the ones we will come back to. Mahalo!😎

We have stayed in Ekahi village about a week ago and we are no in the big island. Ekahi is the best condo because you can walk directly to the pool and beech from the condo and it is not a far walk at all. You can even swim at the beech near the condo as well and walk on the beech to different beeches to see if there is any better beech. It is very simple because all you do is walk from one beech to the next and that is the simplest thing to do if you need something to do and if you are bored in your condo. I would love to come back here again because it is a nice condo. For those of you who have never been to Maui Kahului before or are planning to go there soon, this is the place to stay if you need somewhere to stay.

11E view was spectacular, amenities felt like home (love the pineapples!), and child friendly with the 2 bunk beds. Perfect for a family of 4. Easy walk to the beach, multiple pools, well kept grounds. We saw multiple sea turtles and even a romantic marriage proposal on the beach next to the main pool. World class spot we highly recommend and will definitely come again. Thank you for the hospitality Pauli’s, y’all are the best!

Totally satisfied with our stay in two of the Pauli Family condos - clean, well equipped, very comfortable, great locations. Easy access to pool and beach. Our family group of 12, with ages ranging from 3 - 72 years was blessed by being able to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th anniversary at Wailea Ekahi Village! Thank you, Matt, for responding quickly and efficiently in all our communications.

Aloha, Wow, another outstanding stay in a condo with the Pauli Family. Matt is brilliant to deal with. The condo had everything we needed and and we really felt spoilt! We feel so at home and the beach with snorkelling were stunning. The pavillion by the pool is under renovation and we can't wait to see it when it's all done. The pool was all good and we used it lots as the renovation was unobtrusive. I highly recommend the location, the condo and working with Matt Pauli. Everything is always as promised. Sparkling clean, homely and an absolutely perfect location. Thanks Matt, we will be back!!! Mahalo

This was an absolutely great condo. The view was gorgeous and the walk down to the beach was easy. The Beaches in front of the condo were great for swimming and snorkeling. The condo itself had everything you would ever need for a great time. There were beach chairs and a cooler too. The kitchen was well equipped and the lanai furniture was great. I would highly recommend this condo and will stay there again.

Incredibly comfortable, unbeatable location near everything (beaches, dining, hiking, etc), with more amenities than I can count. Top to bottom this was a 10 out of 10 experience. We won’t stay anywhere else on Maui from here on out. Thank you!!

It had all the amenities one could ever need and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the basics and more! View was beautiful. The Ekahi grounds in general are gorgeous and incredibly well-kept. We felt totally at home in this unit and our children were equally as content.
Matt Pauli was also great to deal with, responsive and flexible.
Would gladly book here again!

This property is on the beach so with a 1/ kilometer walk at most, you can enjoy the pool and beach without driving your car. Wailea is the place to be in Maui imo . However i heard that they will be tearing down the large pool Cabana section in April.... Why? Hopefully it's to update it WITHOUT costing renters more... That would drive to stay somewhere else on my next visit to wailea. I have been going there for 22 years...

Zum beach sind es bergab ca. 4-5 Minuten. Super, daß es neben Beach Chairs auch einen Sonnenschirm gibt ! Die Küche hat wirklich alle nur denkbaren Geräte. Sehr empfehlenswert. Danke

We recently spent a little over a week in Ekahi Village 1D, and can not say enough about our experience. The condo was STUNNING and so well equipped. We cooked every night and had everything we needed and more. The built in bunks in the hall bathroom were perfect for our daughter- she thought her own “room” was pretty special. Thank you to Matt Pauli for offering such good suggestions for baby equipment rentals for our son! We cannot wait to return- fabulous place to spend time!!

We were fortunate to have a friend recommend Pauli Family condo rentals to us. Matt was great, very quick to respond to every email. We rented 50B and were more than pleased, as the unit was better than expected! The Village grounds are nothing short of spectacular, with 4 pools, tennis court and direct access to the beach. Would recommend both Matt Pauli as well as Ekahi Village to anyone looking for a fantastic Maui holiday. Hope to return soon.

We stayed at Condo 20A at the Ekahi Village. Absolute paradise! The condo was equipped with absolutely everything we needed for a perfect beach holiday. Just steps away from the lovely pools and the beautiful beach. Gorgeous sea view from the lanai through the garden. Enjoyed the local area of Kihei too and its restaurants and shops. Also loved eating at Mulligans on the Blue and had a fantastic evening at the Luau at the Wailea Beach Resort. Just such a perfect holiday don't think we will ever be able to surpass it!! Thank you to the Pauli family for all of your help and sharing your wonderful home with us!

Aloha!! Wow we had an amazing 7 night stay in 11E at Wailea Ekahi Village. The condo was a short three minute walk to the beach with beautiful sea views from each room and the lanai. Everything you could need was there and it was absolutely clean and comfortable. We loved the stunning snorkelling at Ulua Beach just a short walk away. It was brilliant to have the two beach chairs and two umbrellas. It was great having all the nice touches and extras that made our stay so comfortable. We loved eating on the Lanai for our meals. The pool areas were brilliant and it was so easy to get a lounger by the pool. The best holiday for our two children, my husband and myself. Cherished memories, we will be back!!! Mahalo

We just returned from a 6-night stay at Ekahi 11E. This was our third stay in this unit, and I actually planned our trip around its availability. The views are great from every room, including both bathrooms! The condo is spacious, spotless, and well-stocked with everything you need for your stay. My college-age boys made use of the bunk area and the pullout sofa so there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The beach is just a few steps away, and there are plenty of beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas. We would definitely recommend Ekahi and look forward to another stay in the future!

Ekahi Village is a special place in Maui and the Pauli Family units are among the best we've stayed in. Our most recent stay in #33D was the best yet! This one bedroom upper level unit had a well equipped kitchen and an outstanding lanai. When we weren't sitting at the pool, strolling the beach in the morning, or snorkeling with the turtles we spent our time on that lanai listening to the birds, wind, and waves. Every sunset was a delight.
The temps in the unit were manageable on hot afternoons if you keep windows/blinds open accordingly. The beach can be accessed with a 2 minute stroll down the well maintained greens, gardens, and trees on the property. No need for an alarm clock as the birds will greet you each morning at sunrise - one of the best parts of the day. We took Kihei Rd into town whenever we felt like tacos at Coconut's Fish Cafe or a shaved ice at Ululani's. Though we found our best meals on that lanai on the high top table next to the grill enjoying the sunsets. We are already combing the calendar for #33D to book our next trip so you better book yours soon!

We took Kihei Rd into town whenever we felt like tacos at Coconut's Fish Cafe or a shaved ice at Ululani's. Though we found our best meals on that lanai on the high top table next to the grill enjoying the sunsets. We are already combing the calendar for #33D to book our next trip so you better book yours soon!

53E is fantastic! The location is superb. It is quiet, welcoming, tastefully decorated and has all of the necessary amenities.

We just got back home from our stay at Kamaole One #3 And I can not put into words exactly how amazing our stay really was. Something we learned after staying was that we did not to to pack 1/2 of what we did because it is all covered haha. To have found something like this within our budget where the most beautiful beach was literally the backyard, was an unbelievable experience. Everything was clean, operating beautifully, and it was EASY to feel like we were home. (just in a better, tropical version of home). We will miss it terribly!! The Pauli family was amazing to work with. Any questions I had were answered with cheer and with this being our first big family vacation, they made me feel completely at ease, not a worry in the world to book in full confidence. I hope to be back here for many years to come! Mahalo!

Today is our last day of an absolutely wonderful vacation at Wailea Ekahi Village #53E! The condo is perfect, the pictures are very accurate, everything is just as described! Communion was easy with Matt Pauli. The grounds are just beautiful! You can see the care that goes into keeping the complex immaculate. The beach is fantastic! I think we were there every day. We also enjoyed the heated pool, and watched the sun set from there several nights. We loved the lanai, we ate many meals outside, enjoying the ocean view. This was a long awaited 40th anniversary trip. We would highly recommend using Pauli Family Rentals!

Another great stay at Ekahi Village! We stayed in 53E, and it was perfect for us. The view was an added bonus. Everything was clean, well kept and hope we can come back again soon!

We just got home from renting 20A with my brother and sister in law from Texas. The price was great and the location couldn't have been better! We couldn't believe how nicely equipped it was. Cheri, our contact person, was so nice and, much to our surprise, came in a cleaned the condo once during our stay, compliments of the Pauli Family. Thanks folks and see you next time!!

My girlfriend and I stayed in Kamaole One #3. This condo is as awesome as the pictures look! Everything that we needed was ready to go and this made our stay that much more enjoyable! We spent most of our time either on the beach (right outside the back door!) or on the back patio overlooking the beach. A BBQ grill was provided, and we took advantage of it. My girlfriend especially loved the large open showers. Our stay here exceeded all of our expectations, I highly recommend this location.

This year was the second time we have stayed in 50B and our fourth time in Ekahi Village. We love this location, it is beautiful and the gardens are gorgeous and well kept. I think Keawakapu beach is one of the best beaches on Maui. We like 50B because its location near the top of the property makes it private and quiet and the lanai has shade all day which we like. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and cutlery but I would like to see more plates. There were only 6 dinner plates there this time which meant running out of dishes before the the dishwasher was full. We love Ekahi Village and will be back next year.

Our stay in 53E in 2016 was excellent. Beautifully updated studio with everything you could ask for - and more. Perfect size for a couple or solo traveler. Great view, quiet and situated on a beautiful property with an awesome pool and private beach.
And if that stay was excellent, then our stay at Kamaole One #3 last week was utter perfection. Every inch is beautifully appointed. From Dacor and Sub-Zero in the kitchen to new, Polynesian style furnishings throughout. Toss in a paddle board, surf board and a ridiculous water-toy closet and you can't ask for more. Right? No, you can. Tons of linens, kitchen, laundry and bath supplies. We didn't need a thing. And, did I mention the ridiculous water toy closet? I did?
Well, I didn't mention the best part of Kamaole One #3. The location. 15 feet of St Augustine to the sand. Yes. Perfectly centered, unobstructed view of the Pacific. Yep. Best sunset view on the island. Si.
The beach itself was perfectly "crowded". Enough people for a great energy and not too many to find some private space. And, compared to 53E, it's a 10 minute walk to some of the best small restaurants, markets and the legendary (in my mind) ABC Store.
I'd say so much more, but really do not want to add more competition for our time here in 2018. (Sorry, Matt!)

Alle Appartements der Familie Pauli sind toll ausgestattet und lassen keine Wünsche offen. Die Lage ist nicht zu übertreffen. Alles ist super gepflegt und ruhig, aber familienfreundlich. Man kann die Brandung hören und vom Balkon die Wale beobachten. Wailea ist eine der besten Adressen auf Maui. Mit dem Auto kommt man schnell überall hin. Verschiedene Einkaufszentren sind in Kihei und Wailea.Den Blick auf die Nachbarinseln und nach West-Maui ( abhängig von der Lage des Appartements) vergißt man nicht. Nach insgesamt drei Aufenthalten habe ich nichts zu bemängeln. Hier hat man alle Vorteile einer Ferienwohnung.

We stayed in 53E for four nights and it was perfect! The condo was clean, well stocked, everything you could need or want! We loved the quiet, beautiful, peaceful surroundings, enjoying home cooked meals on the lanai, and having all the comforts of home. We are already figuring out how to get back to Maui, and we will definitely stay here again!

11E was the best! The Pauli Family Condos are nothing short of amazing. The communication, the set up, the amenities! Easy walk to the beach, the pool, an easy drive to Kihei or Wailea Shops. The murphy beds were highlight for our daughters, ages 12 and 10! The views from the shower, will last a long winter in Ann Arbor! Thank you as always!

Wish we could give it more than 5 stars. 11E was magical, the views, the set up, everything. The Paulis have outdid themselves. We have stayed in 20A too, both are super nice for families! Can't say enough good things about Wailea Ekahi Village and the Pauli condos!

This was our 4th visit to this studio unit at Wailea Ekahi Village and everything was terrific. As always, the condo was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The view from the lanai is perfect and a great spot to have a meal or watch the sunset. Approximately a quarter mile walk through the beautifully landscaped complex will take you to one of the best beaches on Maui.

Very peaceful and quiet unit. Well equipped for going to the beach, which is about a 4 block walk. 2 beach chairs, umbrella, Boggie board and small cooler are fairly new and in good condition. You need to bring your own toiletries since we found no hand soap or shampoo. There was also no Kleenex in the unit. Very close to the Wailea Blue golf course, Marriott and Wailea Shopping Center.

Excellent stay! We recently stayed at 53E and the accommodations were perfect for us. The room had everything we could possibly need including beach chairs, cooler. We also made use of the grill for fresh fish we caught on a fishing charter. Everything looked just like the photos with tons of little extras. The sunset views and flowers around the area were beautiful to see. The complex was quiet and peaceful. Matt truly went above and beyond to accommodate us with our reservation and for that we are extremely grateful! Recommend 100%!

4++++++++. We recently stayed at 53E and were so comfortable that we spent more time indoors than out! The unit was clean, quiet and well provisioned. We had a slight problem with the tv and Anita responded right away to talk us through it, even on a Sunday evening! I would add that you might bring house slippers if you don't want to walk around the condo in bare feet.

We have just returned from a wonderful 10 days in Wailea Ekahi Village condo 13E which we rented from the Pauli Family Condo Rentals. First of all, I really like using their website for selecting the perfect condo. Second, working with Matt was a very positive experience. He was prompt, friendly and informative. And third, the condo was absolutely the best! My husband and I have been staying at Ekahi Village for over 15 years and this year, with this particular rental, our experience was by far the best we have had. Couldn't ask for a more spectacular view! We are now committed to returning to the beauty and comfort of 13E.

We rented several units for our son's wedding. They were all very nice. Well appointed and maintained. Close to the ocean and the Wailea resorts and shops.
Super easy to work with the Pauli family. Only disappointment was that we had to leave!

We recently vacationed in the Pauli's 20A condo. What a pleasant surprise when we walked in! The condo is beautiful .... meticulously maintained .... it exceeded our expectations. We have four sons and we did not feel cramped at all. Very spacious .... we were very comfortable. The property is also gorgeous with easy access to the pools and beach. We were also referred to a wonderful concierge, Mona, who was most helpful in arranging our activities outside the condo. We had a blast with surfing lessons, snorkel/snuba trip, luau and golf. Thank you Pauli Family for sharing your home with us. We will most definitely be back someday! 🙂

My husband and I recently stayed in Pauli family's Condo 49D and are still marveling at the standard of the accommodation and the facilities offered. Every amenity had been supplied for our comfort. It made our holiday all the better. Don't look elsewhere for accommodation in the Wailea area!

We have stayed at Ekahi Village two times now and we can't wait to return. These condos are clean, meticulously maintained and equipped, and in a prime location for walking, snorkeling, and swimming. The Pauli Family is terrific with information, queries, and good humor. I highly recommend their units. It is a wonderful experience.

Last week, we stayed in Pauli Family 11e for the first time. This is the best condo in which we've ever stayed! It was all that it was advertised to be--and more. It is well equipped kitchen-wise. In fact, if the toaster oven doesn't suit you for toast, check the cabinets for a toaster. Also, ceiling fans everywhere-- we had no need for air conditioning--and all the necessary beach equipment (chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, to which we added some). And if you are planning a condo renovation of your own, check out the use of space in 11e! Truly amazing! And this unit is tastefully decorated. It is clear that the Pauli's created their Maui paradise and I'm glad they are sharing it!

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in Maui! It was awesome! The condo was fully equipped with everything we possibly needed from cooking to beach equipment (chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels etc.) I loved the open feel of the studio 53E it's open and overlooks the ocean along with all the beautiful flowers and landscape. We will definitely be staying at the Ekahi village again we loved our experience, and Pauli family provided top notch service that's hard to beat!
