 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Location, location, location.  This place was perfect for our stay.  You can walk to a ton of food options very easily.  Walk to a grocery store very easily.  Parking was never a problem.  Of course, having a beach right in front of you is perfect as you don't have to walk anywhere or drive somewhere to get to it.  There are two other beaches in easy walking distance, and we are both over 60.  The house has a few spots where it looks dated but sheesh that is nothing.  It is very clean, very well equipped.  Loved the storage containers in the kitchen!  Just a wonderful place to stay.  I would do it again in a heartbeat!  Great communication at all times as well.  Book it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a large family gathering for a major life event and filled the place up.  The rooms and pool area are exactly as you see in the photos.  Management was great.  The two houses are a bit dated but work just fine with impressive views that allow for immense relaxation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented the full Villas by the Cove property for 4 days and got married on site during that time - it was the most magical, beautiful, intimate setting we could have imagined and all of our friends and family loved it. The property is expertly landscaped, with countless spots for beautiful photos. Everyone was happy with their villa, the amenities and the overall space. Alyssa and Shahaf were wonderful in helping us to coordinate our trip and helping with any issues that arose during our stay. I would absolutely recommend this property for anyone looking for a special wedding destination, or just a great vacation spot!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Makoa is a great little gem in Kīhei! It’s well stocked with what you need to hit the beach, and it’s small enough to feel like you’re a welcomed guest. We love having the extra space as well as a kitchen and nice shared outdoor space without the feel of a big resort. The proximity to good food and great beaches is awesome too. Beds are comfy. Property manager is helpful and responsive. This continues to be our favorite spot on Maui!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented 8 villas for a large group and our time at the Makoa Resort was the best time we had all together! I’d your looking for a space for a group to gather, but have your own villa to retreat to look no further. Villa #5 has a sliver of an ocean view and is tucked away in the back of the property. Shahaf- the property manager was very responsive and accommodating! We would definitely stay there again!! Thank you for an amazing week!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By far the nicest resort I’ve been to. It is in the center of everything, shops, restaurants and more importantly, surfing. It’s so cool the resort as boards we can borrow as well as chairs, coolers, and umbrellas. I can’t wait to come back soon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful time at the resort celebrating our niece's weeding.  Most of the celebration was on site, and this is a remarkable place for families to be together for such an event.   Excellent location, wonderful views, clean and updated rooms.   A delightful experience all the way around!
