Great condo, location & owner courtesy!
Leonor, booked thru this website, stayed 21 nights Mar/Apr 2024
The units at the Palms Wailea are extremely nice, and the property overall is exceptional and very private. The pool area was recently renovated, and it looks like an exclusive resort! We love the spacious and modern layout of these units. The Palms is close to all of Wailea's amenities and also to the groceries and takeout places we like to use in Kihei. Stephen's upper floor unit is well located in a corner spot with stairs that are easy to manage even with all the gear we take to and from the beach. It has a nice view of the Maui mountains from the private and well furnished Lanai.
What makes Stephen's unit exceptional is the care and thought he put into anticipating and meeting the needs of his tenants. We stayed for 3 weeks and never ran out of e.g. paper towels, toilet paper, dish and hand soap, and bath towels. The kitchen was well supplied. Stephen was also quick to respond to all our requests. He is extremely professional and has a very friendly manner.
We were concerned at first about only having air conditioning in the master bedroom. However, the fans in the living room and second bedroom, along with the cross breeze from the sliding doors and windows, made up for the lack of air conditioning.
Without a doubt, we plan to return to rent this unit again. Stephen's rates are very competitive when booking with him directly. My husband and I had a really wonderful stay, and the unit accommodated our two guests very comfortably when they visited us for a week. Thank you, Stephen, for being such a great host!
Great Stay on Maui

We had such a good trip on Maui. Stephen had good vibes from the beginning and was really communicative and responsive. The apartment is spacious, clean, and well appointed. It's hard to beat the location; Keawakapu beach is beautiful and an easy walk. Thank you Stephen!

Beautiful and spacious condo. Walking distance to beach. Would recommend!
Very Nice Condo, Close to Beach
We stayed here for three weeks. The condo was clean, well furnished, and well stocked for basic food preparation. The bbq grill was a plus and the owner had a spare tank of propane handy…which we needed. The condo/complex is in a perfect location—close to shops, stores, restaurants and beaches. The Palms at Wailea is a beautiful property and well maintained. Take advantage of the sunrise over Haleakala from the lanai. Stephen was very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions we had. While sitting on the lanai, there is some street noise from Okolani Drive, but not a major problem. We are already booked for next year. Thank you, Stephen.
Another great vacation in Maui
Our 3rd year renting the condo from Stephen, he is great to deal with, always answers any questions right away. There are more updated units in the complex if that is what you are looking for but we love staying in this unit.
Beautiful property close to the beach
Dahai L, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 5 nights Dec 2023
This was our family's first trip to Maui. The bedroom with 2 twin beds and sofa bed were perfect for our teen kids. Wonderful property manager! Great communication. The condo was clean. We enjoyed the beach chairs, the kids loved body boards! Also the bbq grill at the condo is very nice! Very short drive to shopping center and restaurants, 5 mins walking to the beach, Looking forward to staying here again next time I come to Maui!
Great Stay
This was our 15th visit to Maui, our first time staying at The Palms. Unit 1802 was a pleasant surprise. The primary suite was spacious, with air conditioning and a quiet fan, the large, renovated shower has a rain shower head. A safe provided an extra level of security as did the keypad entry to the condo. A well stocked kitchen allowed for easy meal prep, the lanai barbecue was very useful. The road noise took some getting used to, but was quiet at night. Parking is assigned and close, the pool is easy access from the condo. The pool has a viewing area of the ocean for whale watching and sunsets. The lanai provided great views of the sun rise over Haleakala.

The property owner gave great instructions on accessing the property. The condo was clean. We enjoyed the beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys that were there. It was nice having a bbq grill at the condo, too. We really enjoyed our stay here in Maui.
This unit was perfect for our family and had everything we needed!
Kelly F, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 13 nights Feb 2023
The location of this unit is perfect. Close to the Shops at Wailea and all of the best beaches. The kitchen was well stocked with all the gadgets and pots and pans we needed for cooking, there were lawn chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards and towels for the beach. The only reason I didn’t give this property a 5 star rating is that it really needs a good thorough cleaning from top to bottom. It wasn't "dirty", as a matter of fact, I checked the oven, fridge, microwave and bathrooms when we first arrived and they were all well cleaned. Just the walls, blinds, sliding walls, etc. need a good wipe down. I would recommend this property to others. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Amazing!

Anitha S, booked thru Airbnb, stayed 8 nights Dec 2022
We had a great time in this place. The condo was spacious, very well maintained and clean. Well stocked with necessary items. Kitchen had everything we needed. Host was super responsive and reachable. The neighborhood and the community was very peaceful with a lot of greenery and nice views. Would definitely come back when we are in Maui next time.
Happy to be back Maui!

Once again we enjoyed the location of The Palms to the beach, tennis, golfing and shops. This unit was comfortable and nicely appointed. Have booked to come back again next year. Thanks again Stephen.
Veronica M, booked thru Airbnb, stayed 10 nights Oct/Nov 2022
We had an awesome 10 days stay at the Palms of Wailea. Apartment was clean and beautiful with a nice big balcony overlooking mountains. Location is great and very close to many beaches. We are hoping to come back.
Perfect Location, the trip of a lifetime!

1802 Palms at Wailea was amazing! It was just a 7 minute walk to the beautiful beaches, 1 mile walk to the shops, bars and restaurants. The lanai at night was beautiful, so close to the stars!! Beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, games and many other things to make your stay so much fun! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!!
Amazing Condo for beach and swim
Melanie H, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 7 nights Apr 2022
We loved Stephen's condo! It was spotless when we arrived and smelled so clean, the kitchen was well stocked for basic meal prep. We loved that there were lots of beach chairs, an umbrella, and even a small cooler to use. The pool is amazing and the grounds are beautiful. The only downside was there wasn't any bedding for the pull out sleep sofa, so we had to figure something out with that. But otherwise, it was perfect!
Hot
Tricia B, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 10 nights Mar/Apr 2022
The owner was easy to communicate with and very nice. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the upkeeping of the condo. Despite the overpowering smell of pine sol as we walked in, we felt it was a bit dirty and did not seem to be well taken care of by the cleaning company. Floors were sticky and sandy and many utensils were dirty. The slider blinds could not be closed due to a broken handle, patio light was out, and the screen door did not fit on track and was extremely difficult to open and close. The washer and dryer were both full of lint and sand. The vacuum was left full of dirt and layered with dust. Bathroom towels were limited and extra bed linens were not provided. Finally, the only AC unit was located in the master bedroom. The rest of the condo, including the second bedroom, was so hot and uncomfortable that we were unable to hang out and relax in the main living space during our stay. Unless another ac unit was installed in the main living space and cleanliness was improved upon, we would not stay in this unit again.
Great time in Wailea

Beautiful location and Open layout
Eric W, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 9 nights Mar 2022
This Condo was very easy to access and close to everywhere we wanted to be in South Maui. Wailea is our choice location for our stays in Maui. The Beaches nearby are some of the Best in the World. The landscaping is well kept and lush. The Owner is very accommodating and helpful. We were very pleased with the property as it was furnished nicely with everything you need to enjoy your time there.
Great Place
Sharon R, booked thru this website, stayed 7 nights Feb/Mar 2022
We spent a week at the condo and loved it. The condo and lanai were spacious and comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen was easy to use and equipped with all the appliances, dishes, and utensils we needed. We were easily able to walk to a nearby shopping center and beach. The complex was quiet and well-maintained and the grounds and pool were beautiful. We plan to return - we had such an easy, relaxing time.
Nice Stay

Everything was as advertised. Palms is a great location with easy access to beach and Wailea. Owner, Stephen was easy to work with.
Andre G, booked thru Airbnb, stayed 5 nights Jan 2022
We enjoyed the stay very much. It’s a very beautiful place, it has everything you need and the neighborhood is very pretty. Close to the beaches and good for activities. We would come back any time again.
Angela T, booked thru Airbnb, stayed 5 nights Jan 2022
Five stars! The apartment was modern, spacious and clean. The beds and bedding were all fantastic and the location in Wailea is perfect. We especially loved the master bathroom! The Wi-Fi was strong- four of us worked and/or did remote learning. It is walking distance to the Shops at Wailea too. You need a car to get around regardless. Stephen was very communicative and kind. We hope to stay here again!

Comfy!
Eric P, booked thru Airbnb, stayed 1 night Dec 2021
What a great place to stay! The interiors are spacious with ample natural light flooding the common areas. Master suite is nicely tucked away with its own restroom/shower, while the guest suite offers privacy and immediate access to a full bath. The lanai has plenty of room for eating breakfast Al fresco, answering a few emails during the day, or stargazing at night. Kitchen is well appointed with all the utensils you would need for preparing meals. If cooking isn’t your idea of relaxation, there are several great restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend Stephen’s place for anyone looking to experience Maui. Can’t wait to come back again.
Love the Palms

Very enjoyable. Living room couches could use an update. Beds were good. Well equipped unit.
Great value for price
Stephen R, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 5 nights Nov 2021
Stayed at Palms at Wailea many times, first time this exact unit. Great location, very clean and well stocked condo. What you see in listing is what you get - which we appreciate! Condo owner easy to communicate with and quick to reply to the couple of questions we had. Will come back to complex again and would be happy if ended up in this unit again.

Jessica F, booked thru this website, stayed 29 nights Aug/Sep 2021
Another month in paradise! We loved it so much the first time that we immediately booked another month before we got back. Condo feels like home! So many comforts to stay for weeks at a time. Plenty of towels, sheets, cooking utensils and beach gear that you could come with a small suitcase and not need much more! The laundry in unit makes it so convenient.
Condo is clean and quiet! Kitchen is stocked with everything you need! We celebrated a birthday there and were even able to make cupcakes because the kitchen is stocked with baking pans! Made it extra special to make our own cake and not have to buy something. Most meals we cooked in the condo to save money but also because we could! Having the private bbq on the lanai made it easy! Loved having happy hour out there too!
My husband worked for 2 weeks this time while we were there. The wifi was so strong and he never had any issues. The two bedrooms makes it nice and private. He was able to work in the master bedroom for privacy, but mostly worked out at the kitchen table or lanai.
We love the location! So close to Wailea and Kihei. Beaches are walking distance but we always drove. And so many restaurants near by! What Ales You was hands down our favorite, Sansei for sushi and Monkey Pod for happy hour.
Already looking at the calendar to book at least another 2 weeks in 2022! By far our new favorite place to vacation because it feels like a second home.
Great condo, great location!
Kylie G, booked thru this website, stayed 8 nights Jun 2021
We stayed here for a week in early June and couldn't have been happier. Condo is super clean and comfortable. Booking and check in was simple, the door code made it easy for us to come and go separately. The well stocked kitchen and BBQ grill allowed us to cook meals and enjoy dinners on the lanai. We loved the freezer's ice maker for filling our cooler for the beach, it never ran out like our ice maker at home. The beautiful condo pool was a great alternative on windy beach days. Location was perfect for walking to the Wailea shops and restaurants and great snorkel beaches. (Keawakapu Beach and Ulua Beach were our go-to.) There is a box on the deck full of Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrella, noodles and beach toys that we used daily. We were here during playoff basketball and hockey and appreciated getting all of the sports channels. I had to work for a few days and the WiFi was strong and never failed for video calls. The condos I've stayed at before in Kihei/Wailea have never had reliable internet or cable, but this place has premium service. We will definitely stay here again.

Jessica F, booked thru this website, stayed 28 nights Apr/May 2021
Wow! We stayed here for a month - you cannot beat the price for the location and the length of stay. So close to the shops at Wailea, the beach, and restaurants. Condo is well stocked with everything you need; kitchen supplies, beach gear, and more! So clean and well stocked!
Owner was quick to respond before we booked with any questions we had and check in was so easy. We didn’t have any issues, so no need to contact during our stay. The two bedrooms is perfect since we have two kids. Very family friendly!
We will be back! In fact we already booked another month long block because we loved it so much.
Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was everything it claimed to be.
The condo was very nice and super comfortable. The Palms is a perfect place to stay on Maui... quiet, convenient and a beautiful property. We’re already planning our next stay.

Leon P, booked thru this website, stayed 15 nights Feb 2021
The location is great, less than 10 minute walk to a nice beach, and a great part of Maui. The condo is in a very good condition, recently remodeled, very spacious and there is a lot of light in every room. The grounds are really well maintained, free parking in front of the condo. Fast wifi internet, enough for 3 people to do video conferencing simultaneously.
Light, bright, spacious condo - pics don't do it justice!
Allison M, booked thru Vrbo, stayed 7 nights Dec 2020
Had a wonderful stay with our family (me, husband, kids age 14 and 10.) The photos on the listing really don't do it justice: condo is freshly painted, and immaculate. There are peekaboo views of surrounding hills from the unit. Beautiful wood furniture, updated showers, fully stocked kitchen, new washer/dryer. The extra large lanai was wonderful, with gas grill that was super clean and worked well, and housed the beach gear. Private outdoor staircase to the unit was appreciated especially given COVID. Owner & manager were very responsive with a couple questions we had.
The Palms overall is a well-kept, beautiful complex. Landscaping was lovely; community pool and hot tub are in excellent shape with good quality tile and design. It's a few minutes from the fancy hotels and adjacent beaches, and felt very safe and upscale. The only downside of the unit that I can think of was there was some street noise from cars - we live in an urban area so it wasn't an issue for us, but if you're used to a far-suburban or rural quiet, you might notice the traffic sounds.
Awesome
9.0 Oksana F, booked thru Booking.com, stayed 6 nights Dec 2020
We loved the Palms at Wailea! The property is sprawling and well maintained. We loved the pool area and views. The unit itself is comfortable, has all the amenities yet not cluttered. This is a second floor unit with a terrace facing Okolani Drive, easy walking distance to the beach. New bathrooms and kitchen appliances. Easy instructions and straightforward house rules. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
