Sunny Seas E205 at Makena Surf, is a sophisticated executive-quality 2 bedroom 2 full bath direct ocean and beach front resort residence that sleeps six guests in exceptional luxury.

From E205 you have a front row view of turquoise waters, scarlet sunsets, and glowing moonsets. During winter season E205 gives the perfect perfect vista from which you may be lucky enough to see whales, turtles, dolphins and other marine life. Overhead, picturesque cotton candy clouds dance in the powder blue skies, casting shadows on the expansive golden sand beach. A visit to Sunny Seas is an extraordinary vacation experience. Just below Sunny Seas E205 is a broad "post-card perfect" golden sand beach located directly in front of the E building. Sunny Seas is truly a beach front paradise. Set on the second floor, the outdoor covered dining and living terrace opens up to expansive blue skies, panoramic ocean, sunset and moonset views!

Situated in a legal hotel-zoned residential community with roving on-site security, Makena Surf Resort offers community BBQ grills, a fitness room, two heated pools and whirlpool spas, colorful tropical flora and fauna, tennis and pickle ball courts, and convenient parking for up to 2 vehicles. The tranquil oasis of tropical seclusion at Makena Surf provides guests with a low-density, low-rise, and less crowded ambiance than other Maui resorts.

This privately owned, freshly re-decorated, and professionally managed direct waterfront vacation villa is one of the most attractive homes in the resort with new coastal styling in light colored decor that reflects the sand and surf outdoors. Despite already having gone through a recent and substantial update, the new owners of E205 (as of August 2026) have planned a full renovation and redecoration to be completed by Thanksgiving 2027. Hurry and pick your favorite dates to experience what we expect will be the nicest residence in Makena Surf Resort. Dates for post-renovation stays will be available as of late November this year.

This year there are 2 generously sized private bedrooms each with a private bath. In 2026 there is a King in the primary bedroom and 2 full size beds in the 2nd. From late 2027 after renovations, there will be a king in the primary bedroom along with 1 queen and 3 twin beds in the 2nd bedroom using bunk beds, for a total of 5 beds for up to 6 guests.

At Sunny Seas you have use of complimentary high speed wireless internet, an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen with all brand new appliances, an in-villa washer/dryer, complimentary safe, and a full complement of household supplies and plush top-quality bed and bath linens. There is indoor dining for six to eight guests and outdoor dining for four, along with counter stools at the kitchen and seating for six around the plush chenille living room sofa.

Sunny Seas features exceptional furnishings and appointments commensurate with an upscale resort villa. The amenities and decor of E205 are superior to those of other generic rental-pool villas. Just added to the great room is a brand new 75 inch "The Frame" Samsung television with easy access to streaming sites and apps of your choice. Both bedrooms have large wall-mounted televisions.

The entire villa has just been refreshed with plenty of new inventory. Each bedroom has a newer pillow top plush mattress along with an array of extra pillows in various styles and materials, a down duvet, cotton blankets, plush all-cotton mattress pads, and high thread-count cotton bedding. The bathrooms are loaded with thick soft cotton towels, hair dryer, make-up mirror, cotton bathrobes, and a bath scale. Tropical theme toiletries are offered in 8 ounce size bottles - an eco-friendly gesture. Other useful amenities that we provide are beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and beach coolers.

It is our goal to provide each guest with reasonable and competitive prices while providing a level of service and quality that elevates the luxury vacation experience above all other Makena properties. There is a difference in quality when renting a "Makena Surf" villa offered by Private Paradise Villas.

The Makena area is a historic rural region on the island of Maui. Remnants of old villages can be found in the remnants of lava covered shores with hiking trails along the shoreline once walked centuries ago by native Hawaiians that guide you to remote and pristine snorkeling sites. The coastline south of Makena Surf is host to many small coves from which more adventurous visitors can launch a kayak or a scuba diving expedition (weather and surf conditions permitting). We are particularly fond of the walking and jogging courses available in the Wailea and Makena area. From Makena Surf you can head in either direction towards Wailea's oceanfront paved promenade or follow the ancient Pi'ilani road towards La Perouse Bay for stunning scenery on lightly traveled roads.

In addition to the long and broad sandy beach in front of Makena Surf, there are more than a dozen other sandy coves and beaches nearby. The famous "Big" and "Little" beaches are located within a few minutes drive. Also nearby are Polo Beach, Wailea Beach, Elua Beach, and the lovely postcard-perfect beaches of Kihei, such as Keawakapu, Kamaole II, Kamaole III, and Charley Young Beaches. All beaches on Maui are open to the public and they all offer public access with free parking. Most also offer restrooms, showers, and picnic facilities.

An abundance of enjoyable ocean and outdoor sports can be experienced in the area canoe paddling, paddle boarding, boogie boarding, skim boarding, outrigger canoe sailing, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and horseback riding.
