10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This was a July family trip including 2 older adults, 3 younger adults, and a 5 year-old covering 5 nights. We loved this home and our time here. It is an older home, but it is well-maintained inside and out, and the gardeners have created a paradise in the back. It is easy to be reminded of an Hawaii of years past. There are homes close in to the left and right, but, in the back yard, they were easy to ignore. Everything you will likely need in the kitchen is there. My only complaint: the price. Still, we are glad we did it because this will be a lasting memory. Some things worth noting by prospective renters: (1) You access 1 room from the living room, but the other 3 are accessed by climbing some stairs to an outside landing, upon which the rooms exit. Picture a hotel. (2) There is no AC in the common areas. Each roon has its own. (3) Due to the high cost of electricity, Helen has the AC turned off when guests leave, so expect the home to be hot when you arrive. It took us 4 hours to bring the temp down to the mid-70's. After that, we had no problem staying comfortable. (4) Helen states that she cannot eradicate the ants, so don't leave any open food on the kitchen counter. All and all, if you don't mind the price, I can heartily recommend this home. Oh, by the way, it is in a beautiful area.

It was an incredible place in an incredible area. The hosts were amazing and the place was better than we could of hoped. Would absolutely stay again. We really liked it was a family property with a lot of great history and well taken care of.

We got married here so we are biased. We love Makena. The area is insanely beautiful. The grounds are well maintained. And the rooms are private, each with a separate bathroom & AC. The AC works very well. Helen is responsive and quickly answered any questions. As others have stated, the cleaning was good and it did smell clean when we came in, but there are small dead bugs in virtually every window and in corners. To be fair, I did not see any (live) roaches or ants but there are mosquitos in Makena and we did get bit frequently. This did not happen in Kihei or Lahaina. The common area will be very warm when you arrive, discomfortingly so, but if you turn on all the AC's it does help somewhat. This makes gathering together as a family uncomfortable but fans help circulate the air. We left 2 for others. But we knew what to expect. None of the balconies had furniture to enjoy the view which I found strange. And there is absolutely no beach gear provided. No umbrellas, no chairs. The owner stated she had an issue with theft but with people paying a pretty penny, and flying out, I think her guests are not to blame. Some of our dissapointments will not be relevant to anyone who has not stayed at the property before. There is no longer any beach or bay access. The small bay we used to use is no longer part of the property. This dissapointed us and we may not have booked had we known as we loved kayaking there & visiting the turtles. But there is no where like Makena. Magical.

There is a lot of family love in this home, making us sorry to give such an example of “old Hawaii” a poor review. It is a 10/10 for its location, but it needs improvements to live up to its description as an “exceptional vacation rental experience.” The views are spectacular, but the house is not well maintained. Cushions, pillows, sheets, and beach towels were old and grungy. Outdoor furniture is minimal (chipped wooden chaise, a broken picnic bench, and plastic chairs) and we had to stack cushions on the lanai chairs for comfort. If you travel with elderly, steps are tricky and the driveway is steep. We kept the house clean, but a cockroach flew into my pillowcase in the upstairs bedroom. The trundle in the 2nd bedroom did not fit under the bed, creating a tripping hazard. In the kitchen, the chef’s knife broke the first time we used it, and the coffee maker’s red “clean” light was on. No ice machine, just trays. The bottles of soap in the bathrooms and kitchen had been watered down; you could see the soap floating on top of a layer of water, and it wouldn’t lather. The WiFi only connected to the internet sporadically, so we could not use the smart TV or connect our phones consistently.Finally, there is only AC in the bedrooms. It was miserably hot in August and we couldn’t enjoy any of the common areas due to the oppressive heat. Helen is responsive, but if we had known all this ahead of time we would’ve booked elsewhere. It was not a good value for the price.
