Mahina Surf

Like one of the previous reviews, this used to be a well kept secret. The condo is located on the west side and has spectacular views. Green sea turtles can been seen up close on a small beach on the property. The grounds are well maintained by a resident manager. He responds quickly to any requests regarding violations on the property. If you are a surfer, you can surf right next door at an area known as “S Turns”. When renting here, you are responsible for the daily cleaning. There isn’t any housekeeping. You are responsible for washing the sheets and towels if your stay is lengthy. While you don’t require air conditioning in the winter months, you might like it in the summer heat and there isn’t any in these units. Each owner is responsible for the provisions inside the condo. The furniture, beach supplies, kitchen products are all at the decision of the owner. Some of the units are better stocked than others. The units are now under new management and you can definitely see the difference. There is a complete lack of interest when dealing with the office regarding repairs or requests. Some of the units are definitely dated and most people were willing to accept this because of the low rental fee. The fees have doubled to almost triple the previous prices. The owners have been convinced by the new rental management that this won’t deter people from coming here. Several of the ‘long term’ vacationers are disappointed and vow not to return once their contracts are over. If you decide to rent, this is a quiet area, away from the loud parties and activities you might find elsewhere. It is a short drive from any of the lovely beaches that you will find on Maui. Do your homework, ask lots of questions.

We’ve been staying at Mahina Surf for 10 years and have really enjoyed it. However, their prices starting in 2023 are increasing 90%+ across the board. No major improvements or enhancements. Just greed. Really disappointing. Will find another place on the island.
