Wonderful Stay at Wailea Beach Villas K107

Vacation Planner (Plano, Texas)
Review submitted: May 21, 2013   Date of arrival: May 11, 2013

We had a very nice stay at this well appointed, nicely decorated villa. The villa is very close walking distance (steps) to the Shops of Wailea. It is a little bit of a stroll with several stairs from the penthouse villas to the beach for this over 50 mom but it was well-worth the walk. The villa was so comfortable and cozy for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 college age kids). It was nice to have washer/dryer and dishwashers. It was great to eat in for breakfast and lunch then head out for a nice meal. We enjoyed the restaurant and activity recommendations by both the owner and the concierge. Everything recommended was a big hit! The owner was extremely helpful with the information she sent prior to our arrival. We hope to visit again!

We have stayed in many villas and penthouses at WBV. This was the best. Well stocked, beautifully furnished and a great location in the complex. We loved it. Tracey, the concierge, was terrific as usual. Easily the best place to stay in Maui. We will be back soon.

Happy Customer

Our accomodations were excellent and well matched for our planned and non-planned activities. Everything we needed was a walk across the street, a beautifully landscaped stroll to the ocean or pools, or a five minute ride. We shared our villa with another couple and there was plenty of space to host a dinner party for 14 and still have some privacy. I'll miss waking up to a view of Molokini and the sound of tropical birds and running water.

Amazing

Review submitted: July 29, 2012   Date of arrival: July 13, 2012

This Villa is so very comfortable words can't describe. The amenities were superior and the property service personnel exceeded our expectations. The inside is welcoming and comfortable with a full service kitchen. The owner has included beach/ pool toys, along with a small ice chest to bring a picnic to the beach. We were relieved to know that the area was so peaceful that we could relax with the doors and windows open day/night. The grounds were beautiful and the location was perfect for a family with children. The concierge connected us with a wonderful canoe trip to swim with turtles and a private hula lesson~along with making men/women leis. If you want endearing lifetime memories this is the place. We agree that this is our favorite HomeAway property to date!

It will be hard to leave

Lynne B. (Chicago, IL)
Review submitted: July 7, 2012   Date of arrival: June 23, 2012

We have visited Maui and other islands many times over the past 30 years and stayed at a variety of hotels and condos in Wailea and elsewhere on the island - this is truly one of the nicest developments and an outstanding unit. It is not ocean front so you will not hear the waves but there is a narrow view of Mollokini. Wailea Beach and the ocean front walkway is about a 10 minute walk down steps - my husband had a torn ACL so those with mobility issues will find the walk to and from the beach takes more time.

The unit is very nice with a spacious and well stocked kitchen, living area and master suite (large separate shower/tub, separate dressing room ) large Tvs, fantastic grill on the lanai, full size washer/
dryer in a separate washroom (instead of a bathroom or other area). The second bedroom has a
queen size bed with adjacent bathroom with a combo shower tub good for a teen or other couple. There is Murphy bed in a library area but there is little privacy or soundproofing so not for lite
sleepers.

The locatio is perfect for being able to walk to beautiful beaches, snorkeling sites, other hotels, shops
and restaurants in Wailea. The fitness center was good size and located directly below the unit.

My only complaints: (1) the unit is located right above the family pool and there were a number of
times you could hear the kids yelling and Marco polo playing even with the glass doors shut, (2) the unit has an assigned underground parking space which is the smallest in the development with both
sides being cinder block - a Mini Cooper may fit but still may be tight to get out. There are other "open" parking spaces but during busier months those may be more difficult to obtain.

The owner was very helpful and responsive to any questions and all aspects of the unit were very
nice. The front desk was exceptionally helpful with move in and move out, scheduling tours/activities/reservations and the property and grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. I
would certainly return and have already recommended the unit and location to others.

It truly was hard to leave this beautiful setting!

Our suite at the Wailea Beach Villas was more elegant than our suite at the Ritz in Grand Cayman. The rooms were beautifully furnished, the beds were so comfortable, and the kitchen was fantastic! Situated at the top of the property, our balcony overlooked the gorgeous grounds and the ocean beyond. Walking from our suite to the beach below was like taking a stroll through a well-manicured tropical park with an occasional swimming pool here and there. Once on the beach, we could sunbathe peacefully or walk to the neighboring resort hotels. Restaurants and shopping were also within easy walking distance. In all our dealings with the staff, they were always very friendly and helpful. When I go back to Maui, I won’t stay anywhere else.

Amazing place to stay when visiting Maui!

Review submitted: January 28, 2012   Date of arrival: December 10, 2011

I have stayed here several times over the past years and I would highly recommend it (including my family and friends) for anyone looking for a vacation of a lifetime. Every time we go to Maui, we stay here and our experiences have always been excellent and beyond our expectation! The last was to celebrate our anniversary in December. We felt like royalty, sitting on our private veranda enjoying the amazing view and enjoying evening sunset walks on the beach. The villa inside is beautifully decorated (more beautiful than a picture can show you!) including all the amenities you could possibly ever need. Cannot say enough about the Concierge, front desk and grounds personnel. They are amazing. We never wanted for anything...all you have to do is ask and most of the time they are checking in to make sure you are ok and that you don't need anything. The concierge booked us great excursions around the Island, as well as reservations at some wonderful restaurants nearby. I really appreciate this service because it totally alleviates any of the worries of planning what's next and allowed us to just enjoy our vacation and beautiful Maui. On those days we just wanted to relax on the beach, private lounge chairs with umbrellas and towels would be setup and I appreciate the fresh water with lemon always available. Not only do I love this property, but owners are the best I have ever worked with. They are always very helpful in answering questions or concerns and immediately responding, again allowing us to enjoy our vacation and not worrying about anything else. I guess you will never know what your are missing if you don't stay here...so I highly recommend that you find out and definitely book this villa!!! You will not be disappointed!

My Favorite Maui Stay

Review submitted: January 25, 2012   Date of arrival: November 4, 2011

Not a big Maui fan before this trip but this place turned me around on that! Wonderful home, gave me a much nicer feel / atmosphere than a hotel but with all the amenities. Lovely beach views, walk to fab restaurants, shopping, etc. Great floor plan with open kitchen, lots of entertaining space and a super step out porch. We had quite a crowd for dinner one night and was very comfortable. The home is beautifully appointed and we lacked for absoltuely nothing. Could not have been better and I can't wait to come back!

Best Ever Hawaiian vacation

lisa (santa rosa, ca)
Review submitted: January 25, 2012   Date of arrival: November 4, 2011

I've been to Hawaii numerous times and stayed in private homes, condo suites, 5* hotels, etc. But the best holiday I ever had there was at the GORGEOUS ocean view condo here. Much more personal (and affordable) than a top hotel, much more fun to party and enjoy with our friends. The home was beautifully decorated and had every possible creature comfort. To be honest, I was less than thrilled with Maui before this trip but I had so much fun, walking to shopping, dining, the beach, the pool... great stay.

First time to Maui

KC (Calgary)
Review submitted: January 19, 2012   Date of arrival: November 19, 2011

The Ireland Escape was the perfect escape and a total 5 star vacation. We do a lot of traveling and while this was our first time to Maui we have gone on many nice holidays. THIS was by far the nicest and most beautiful place we have ever had the pleasure to stay. Everything we needed and more. I love to cook and the kitchen was such a joy to use - all the dishes and tools a person could need. We loved sitting on the lanai enjoying the views and were so grateful to be so close to the children's pool, gym, parking and lobby - everything was convenient and above par. I personally loved the decor in the unit (even better than that of our friends who stayed close by in the same complex) these owners have great taste! You will not be disappointed.

Birthday Celebration Vacation

B&G (Bridgewater, NJ)
Review submitted: November 1, 2010   Date of arrival: October 16, 2010

Jeri: We just wanted to tell you how much we loved staying in the Ireland Escape. From the moment we entered, we felt like we were in a 5 star hotel; the luxurious bedding, the fruit basket to greet us, the elegant setting, every appliance we could think of including a wonderful wine opener:) You thought of everything, fans, beach toys, coffee, tea, even splenda. The only problem we had was not wanting to leave the lanai. We had a great birthday celebration for the husbands. They played golf most days while the ladies relaxed and shopped. The spa at the Grand Wailea was fabulous. Good specials and they accepted spa finder gift certificates. Loved shopping and grabbing lunch at the shops next store. Had a wonderful dinner at Sorrento's on the Beach, would highly recommend it. BTW what a great closet set up in the MB, would love to import that to NJ. The concierge staff also was extremely helpful. Thanks for taking our call when we couldn't figure out the tv and and the gas grill. Have already recommended your place to others in our travels and if we can get back to Maui hope you will have availability. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo.

Valerie & Bruce anniversary (Woodside, CA)
Review submitted: June 3, 2010   Date of arrival: May 9, 2010

We stayed in the Ireland Escape for 3 weeks in May 2010. The villa is absolutely beautiful and is perfectly located in Wailea. From the elegant four-poster king bed with luxurious bedding in the master suite to the Mikasa dinnerware and a full set of stainless-steel cookware in the gourmet kitchen and the flat-screen TV and great sound system in the great room, the villa is stocked with every high-quality amenity you might desire. We loved the serenity of breakfast on the lanai while gazing out upon the ocean with Molokini in the distance. (Although the owner’s description of the oceanview is modest: “…a glimpse…when the palm fronds blow.” We were delighted to enjoy the oceanview corridor to Molokini easily!) Snorkeling was so easy, either from Wailea beach or from the many great sites along the coast in Makena. The convenience of the car just steps away in the garage made carrying the gear a breeze. We are already looking forward to a return visit to the Ireland Escape and HIGHLY recommend the villa! Thank you, Jeri!

Our family loved the Ireland Escape at the Wailea Beach Villas. It is a beautiful, large condo with everything you could need while there. Jeri is awesome to work with, answering any questions and giving great tips. The beds were heaven after days of snorkeling, boogie boarding, and swimming. Thanks so much for everything Jeri, we really appreciate you and your beautiful home!

We absolutely loved your unit. It was, by far, the best accommodation we have had the pleasure of living in, in our many trips to the islands! We will definitely be back to the Ireland Escape (pending availability of course!)

Our daughter LOVED the keiki pool, and we loved how close it was to the unit—and the short walk to the beach was beautiful and a welcome bit of exercise for all of us!

We whole-heartedly recommend your unit, and your management of the unit, to anyone that is lucky enough to be in Wailea!

Thanks for allowing us to rent penthouse K107 - we went our parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. It is an amazing unit and the property has with beautifully maintained grounds. We all enjoyed the short stroll down to the magnificent beach - which is the most fun at about 4PM to sunset. The gift basket and local fruit were nice touches and we took advantage of the many tips you provided including the ahi poi pounder at Nicks Fishmarket- what a treat. K107 offers the perks of a hotel/resort without the pretense and all the the benefits of a condo.

Hi Jeri,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know what a wonderful time we had during our stay last week. Your property and penthouse are just incredible and we definitely were not ready to come home. The week went way to fast, I could have stared at the view for at least another week.
Thanks for sharing it with us, we can't wait to go back!

Our vacation in Maui was absolutely wonderful because of your condo. Top of our list was the location, close to restaurants, shopping, and golf. It had all of the comforts of home and it provided lots of space for the four of us, we certainly weren’t ready to leave after 2 weeks. It was great to have the concierge service available and the chair and umbrella set up for us at the beach whenever we wanted. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks again, Shelley, Joe, Lori and Susan

We were looking for a luxury escape on a Great Beach. " WOW " we were not disappointed.
We spent many early mornings and evenings enjoying the lanai. You have thought of everything....your villa is amazing. Thank you for the welcome basket and for making this trip so easy. We cannot wait until we can plan another vacation to Wailea.

The sleeping arrangements were extremely comfortable, including the extra foldout bed for my youngest daughter. We especially enjoyed the beautiful lanai, where we ate all of cour meals. Thank you so much for making our vacation so memorable! We look forward to returning in the future.

Our kids enjoyed all the TV channels in the evening and first thing in the morning. We enjoyed eating our meals outon the lanai and spending time at the pool. The short walk to Wailea Beach for snorkeling was handy.
