10/10 Star Review from VRBO!
"We had an amazing week at Randy and Julie's home in Elua! The place was spotless and provided everything you could ever need for your stay. The community is very nice and the pools and beachfront walking paths make it super easy to get around. Randy is super easy to communicate with and always replies quickly. It was indeed a lovely stay and a much needed respite! Mahalo!"

Our third stay at Elua 701 was as incredible as the first two
"Having rented this property twice before, our expectations were high and again they were exceeded!
Randy and Julie are responsive and attentive to your needs. The condo offers a turnkey luxury experience. It is impeccably outfitted with every convenience. After every visit, they have asked, what can we do better and was there anything you needed that the condo didn't have. Our response has always the same, no, nothing, you've thought of everything!
Elua's location on the island is unbeatable. Great snorkeling nearby. Restaurants and shops within a short drive. The resort offers an incredible sense of seclusion, sometimes making it feel like you are the only guests on the property.
No doubt in our minds, you will be glad you chose Elua 701."

A glorious trip to Maui and an incredible stay at Elua 701!
"Here are some highlights of our stay at Randy & Julie's lovely home at Wailea Elua Village.
HOSTS: Randy and Julie think of everything! It was so nice! They provided all the details from booking, to arriving on the island, and beyond. Everything we needed to make our stay incredible!
Before we even arrived to Maui; Randy and Julie provided the extra-mile service of doing the research for us:

Sightseeing tips
Best of Maui's reader's poll
A recommendation for a restaurant for my birthday "Ferraro's at the 4 Seasons" which was a nice walk from their home with excellent food, service, and a sunset view. What a delight!
ELUA 701 HOME: Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Incredible local artwork, well-equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms, plus an umbrella and cooler and beach chairs. If it weren't for the ocean beckoning us, we would have been happy just hanging out in their home or on the beautiful lanai all day.
THE GROUNDS: You will not find more beautiful landscaping at any resort than that at Wailea Elua Village. Gorgeous tropical flowers and beautiful orchids abound. You smell the perfume of the flowers the moment you walk out of Randy and Julie's home. It is surreal.
We also enjoyed BBQ-ing one night at the main oceanfront pool area, and also enjoyed the Jacuzzi many afternoons at the upper pool area. The main pool area also has a library to borrow books from!
One of the best kept secrets you must enjoy is the private Wailea Elua Village ocean overlook (key coded). It is the perfect spot to relax in the cozy loungers - many with sun shades. We spent many an evening there enjoying the sun setting. However, the "second act" after sunset was watching the moon rising, and the stars and planets shining so clearly from this lovely overlook. So Incredible!
You will not be disappointed booking with Randy and Julie. We sure enjoyed our time in Maui, and staying at Randy and Julie's Elua 701 home."

A True Gem in a Beautiful Setting!
"We arrived to Maui in early evening so by the time we drove to Elua 701 it was dark.
We received the kindest welcome at the gate from George, who throughout our stay gave us great tips on shopping, eating and life in Maui every time we saw him.
The 701 condo was so comfortable and beautifully furnished we immediately felt at home! Not until we awoke to the stunning view in the morning did we realize how truly gorgeous the setting was right from the living room! Having coffee on the lanai that morning will always be a favorite memory as we soaked in the surroundings.
Walking down the short path to the beach was another moment we won't soon forget. The water was perfect and every time we snorkeled there we saw so many amazing sea creatures including turtles, and the reef seemed to change everyday! Sunsets on the beach were spectacular as well. We took so many pictures and the sunset seemed to be different every night too!
During our stay at 701 I don't think we lacked anything-from the well appointed kitchen to the comfortable beds, extra pillows, washer/dryer, beach chairs, umbrella even a small cooler. Randy and Julie thought of every detail to make our stay so comfortable and truly enjoyable. There really is nothing we would change about the condo, the Village or our time there, it was everything we could have imagined and more! Correction: we would change one thing-that we could have stayed much longer!! Thank you Randy and Julie and Mahalo!! We will be back!

Beautiful Condo in Wailea
"We had a lovely time staying in Condo 701 at Wailea Elua Village. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. We love the fact that it is so close to the pool and the beach. The view from the lanai is gorgeous. Check in was a breeze and parking is close and free. Lots of pots and pans for cooking in the condo. The grounds of the Elua are spectacular! Thanks for sharing Elua 701 Randy and Julie."

Paradise
"We couldn't have picked a more perfect condo for our very first visit to Hawaii.
The location was perfect: close to stores and restaurants, the beach and pools.
The grounds were beautiful and the view from the lanai was priceless!
Everything about the condo was perfect too!
Luxury towels and linens, comfy beds and pillows, luxurious soaps and lotions and beautifully decorated and maintained.
Randy was so easy to work with and check-in was a breeze!
We can't wait to return to Wailea Elua 701!
Thank you Randy and Julie

This is the place!
"You can not beat this property, We have stayed at a lot of places on Maui and this is now our "go to" place.
The location is perfect. You are so close to the beach.
The pavilion that is right on the beach is perfect. Lots of seating places, the pool, bbq grills, and work out room. There is a full kitchen and ice machine provided.
A short walk to restaurants and shopping. You can spend all your time here and never leave.
The staff on site are so friendly and accommodating its unreal.
And then there is the condo. It is absolutely gorgeous. The furnishings are unbelievable pieces of art.
The bedrooms and bathrooms have luxury touches you've never thought of.
And then there is the kitchen. If you like to cook, you will appreciate this. This was the most well appointed kitchen we have stayed in. Everything you could want is there, and it is of great quality. The cooking pieces are great.
The bar is set up perfectly. Everything you could imagine is provided.
We will definitely be coming back."

Five Star Experience in paradise
"From the moment we walked through the door of Randy and Julie's place, we knew we had found something special. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Wailea on Maui is nothing short of spectaculara true island sanctuary with beautiful ocean views that seem almost too perfect to be real.
The condo itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. The open-concept living area flows seamlessly into a spacious lanai, where we spent countless mornings sipping coffee and enjoying cocktails in the evening.
Both bedrooms were generously sized, each with plush, comfortable beds and high-end linens. The master suite featured a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double vanityperfect for unwinding after a day of beach adventures. The second bathroom was equally elegant and conveniently located for guests.
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, from stainless steel appliances to granite countertops. We prepared several meals here and enjoyed them out on the lanai, with the ocean as our backdrop.
The location couldn't have been better. Just minutes from world-class beaches, local eateries, and charming shops, yet tucked away enough to offer peace and privacy. We often walked down to the beach or lounged by the condo's well-kept pool area, which also had ocean views and plenty of seating. The Elua Village complex itself is absolutely stunning. It is warm and welcoming and the grounds are meticulously maintained.
What truly set this condo apart, though, was the attention to detail and the feeling of luxury without pretension. Every elementdecor, furnishings, layoutwas curated with care and island flair. It felt like a home, not a rental.
Lastly, the owners, Randy and Julie are fabulous. They are extremely communicative, highly responsive and it is obvious that they love Maui and they want their guests to feel the same. We have now stayed at their place twice and never plan on staying anywhere else.
Each time our vacation comes to an end, we already begin planning our return!"

You will not be disappointed!!!
"I spent three weeks in Maui this past September 2024 for my 65th birthday celebration. I have stayed at Elua Village several times, and highly recommend it for its access to shopping and fine dining, as well as the amazing grounds that are impeccably maintained. The staff are also amazing, and make you feel like you are a part of their family. I just love it there.
In searching for a unit to rent, I ran across Randy and Julie Smith's unit, Elua 701, and immediately knew that is where I wanted to stay. All I can say is WOW.... WOW.... WOW!!! The unit is not only beautifully appointed, it's location is superb. Everything you could possibly think of needing is provided. Communication with the owners, Randy and Julie, was also stellar. They provided me with everything and anything I needed to make my stay comfortable, were very responsive and proactive in reaching out and insuring I was taken care of. They even provided a welcome bag of goodies that was so generous, and so special too!
I almost hate to share this little gem, and keep it all to myself. :) Suffice it say, I will definitely being looking to rent this unit again and again, if available. It is a very special home that Randy and Julie have created, you will not be disappointed, and your stay will be a lasting memory. Mine sure was!"

Lovely home with gorgeous views
"Thank you for sharing your fabulous home with Kevin and I, and for the thoughtful and much appreciated welcome gift - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay didn't want to leave!
You and Julie have created the perfect Hawaiian home - from the amazing remodel, gorgeous furnishings, artwork and decorator accents - we are so impressed and so appreciative of the work it takes to create and maintain a second home as lovely as yours. Your home is truly the most well organized, well equipped with everything you could possibly need, impeccably clean and so well maintained.
We loved the view and the location is perfect - close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed morning walks along the beach path, time at the ocean front pool and venturing around. The flowers and landscaping in the Elua complex have the most spectacular array of colorful tropical plants and the grounds are meticulously maintained. I especially loved the beautiful orchids throughout the complex.
There are so many great restaurant and shopping choices to enjoy nearby. We tried several of the restaurants on the information you provided for your favorite restaurants and enjoyed them all very much. Matteo's was exceptional as was Ko's for a special evening. Tommy Bahama never disappoints and we had great fish tacos at Coconuts in Kihei. The Tiki Bar was fun as well and great Thai food at Maui Thai Bistro.
Mahalo for making Elua 701 available for us to enjoy. It is truly our new favorite happy place to be and we would love to become one of your regular guests. We will be back in 2025!
Mahalo nui loa!"

Bespoke Condo in a Lovely Setting
"This was our second time staying at Elua 701. As someone who lives in a mid-century modern home, I appreciate the great care that Randy and Julie have taken with the overall design of their condo. All of the furnishings, finishes, and art are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. As someone who loves to cook, I really appreciate how tricked out the kitchen is. You will have everything you need for meals in the condo. There are also the little touches - like to-go coffee mugs and plastic glassware of various designs that you can use at the pool. Ulua Beach in front of the condo is fantastic for snorkeling; I always see turtles when I snorkel there in the morning. This time we tried the outrigger canoes and we had such a nice time. It's not as hard as it looks! We also went to the luau at the Andaz, and I thought that it was a wonderful show full of history and storytelling and thoughtfully prepared food and drinks for a larger crowd. Not at all what I expected. Everyone we talked to who lives locally said that folks want visitors (respectful, of course) to come back to Maui. They are worried that visitors are staying away and the island needs our support. We've been going to Hawaii for 24 years, Maui more than anywhere else, and have stayed at many different places. I really feel that for your money, you get so much value and comfort from the Elua 701 condo. It would be hard for me to go back to a hotel at this point!"

Lovely condo!
"Your condo was lovely! Impeccably clean, well stocked, so nicely decorated. It Had everything needed for a home away. Including small things like a water cooker and ziplock bags and I Loved the electric blinds :) I found the binder and all specifics for the condo inside easily. ... Oh and the gate keepers were all friendly:) Check out was smooth. Would definitely recommend to others."
- 05/01/2024 -
YOU WON’T WANT TO LEAVE
"We really enjoyed our stay at Elua 701. The location on Wailea beach is perfect as it just a 2 minute walk down to the ocean. All of the big hotel resorts are just a short walk away, available for spa services and top rated restaurants. We especially liked Ferraro's at the Four Seasons. Also, Island Gourmet Market at The Shops of Wailea is very close and has lots of prepared foods that are perfect for condo stays.
The condo was well stocked with all of the dishes, utensils, bar ware and cooking tools you will need. Everything else in the condo was first rate and can't think of anything that we needed that was not available. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai overlooking the ocean where we ate many of our breakfasts and lunches. The lanai also had two chaise lounges that were great for reading or naps.
The property was beautifully maintained. The property has two pools and a tennis/pickleball court. We spent a lot of time on the beach and in the pool. We found that Randy was very easy to deal with and that he provided lots of great information about the condo and the local activities and restaurants. But you really won't want to leave the Condo other than to eat."

A PERFECT GETAWAY AT WAILEA’S FINEST
"This vacation rental exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, communication with Randy was excellent from start to finish, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
The unit itself was stunning, boasting beautiful island dcor and ocean views. It was exceptionally well-equipped with everything we could possibly need during our stay. It truly felt like a home away from home.
Location-wise, it doesn't get much better than this. Situated within walking distance to both the beach and the shops at Wailea. We enjoyed walks along the beach path in the morning, heading up from the beach for lunch in the afternoon, and in the evenings we enjoyed probably the best sunset spot on the island at the gated lookout area!
Having stayed at several condos in the Wailea area previously, this rental stood out as one of the best. We were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be checking its availability for our next trip. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a memorable and comfortable vacation experience."
- 04/04/2024 -
SPECTACULAR!
"We have been fortunate to have visited many of the Hawaiian islands over the past 25 years and Maui is our favorite. Additionally, Wailea Elua Village is our go or no-go spot, i.e. if a unit we like is not available, we do not go. That being said, we have stayed at several different units in Elua Village but none of them hold a candle to Elua 701. We are so happy we found it and it helped make our vacation fantastic from start to finish.
Communication with the owners is a breeze. Randy is a gem to deal with and is extremely prompt and thorough with his information. The payment process is clear and straight-forward, as are the instructions for checking in and out. It is so easy. Local help with regard to the condo (if needed) is only a phone call away and Randy and Julie even provide a binder with area information, including recommendations for food and activities very thoughtfully broken out into price points.
The condo itself is exceptional with high-end quality products and finishes. The owners provide every little and big thing you could think of needing and their pride in the unit is clearly evident. It is impeccably clean, extremely well cared-for and nothing is dirty, dingy or worn. My husband thought we were the unit's first renters because there were not any spots or stains anywhere. The furniture and beds were very comfortable, the linens and towels were soft and clean and the unit was free of odors, including the 'masking' smell some cleaning products purposely produce. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen all have whisper quiet ceiling fans and an additional bonus are push-button room darkening shades in the bedrooms, ensuring a restful sleep. There is ample closet space in the bedrooms and the closets themselves are organized with a professional storage system and plenty of quality wood hangers. The owners have even thought to provide hand-held magnifying mirrors in each bathroom, something I really appreciate.
The view from the condo and lanai is fantastic and we spent every morning at the bistro table enjoying coffee and every evening enjoying an adult beverage. You know you are having a great vacation when your biggest daily dilemma is whether to enjoy the sunset from the beach, the grass or the lanai. The beach, pool and small but adequate work-out room are a 3 minute stroll from the front door with restaurants and shopping just a quick 5-7 minute walk away. The parking is convenient and the entrance from the road is controlled by a manned gate with fun and friendly security guards.
Elua Village is spread out over 24 perfectly manicured acres and is low density, something that is rare these days. It is peaceful and provides a sense of respite, which is why we keep returning. Randy and Julie have captured the essence of aloha the island is known for and put it into their unit, giving guests the feeling of being welcomed and appreciated. You will not be disappointed in Elua 701."

OUR TENTH VISIT TO ELUA 701!
"We've been visiting Wailea each year for more than a decade, and our favorite place to stay there is Randy and Julie's unit 701 at Wailea Elua Village. We've stayed there many times and will definitely be returning. The unit is thoughtfully designed and extremely comfortable. It's spacious and beautiful. The views from the deck down to the ocean are spectacular. And it's always a pleasure to deal with Randy.
701's location on the Wailea coast is really perfect for us. Each morning we can walk along the beach-side walkway to enjoy the flowers and the breeze, listen to the birds, get coffee at the Whale's Tale, and spot whales off the coast. Elua is close to some of our favorite restaurants and golf courses.
Wailea Elua Village is beautifully landscaped. The pool area adjacent to the beach is a great way to spend an hour or two reading and listening to the waves. The sunsets can't be beat."

THE BEST OF WAILEA AND MAUI: ELUA 701
"Maui no ka 'oi and Elua 701 no ka 'oi. We were delighted to spend yet another year celebrating holidays on Maui, and once again had a fabulous stay in this beautiful condominium.
This unit and the location of the Elua village property are simply the best the island has to offer. The beautifully renovated and wonderfully appointed condo offer everything you will need for a great Wailea vacation from the chef's kitchen, to the comfortable bedrooms to the spacious living space which blends into the lanai which provides one of the best views avaialble on south Maui.
We return each year and for the past several years have made the Elua complex and 701 our vacation home. We have had wonderful stays at this incredible condo, and we are already planning our return visit.
There is so much to love about this property the beautifully maintained Elua Village grounds, the quiet location, the peaceful morning sunrises, the remarkable sunset views either beachside or from the condo lanai. Elua 701 is conveniently located, within a short walk of the Shops at Wailea, and literally a stone's throw from Elua Beach and the wonderful oceanside walk that runs the length of Wailea. You are also incredibly close to Wailea golf, the Wailea Makena area, food and shopping in Kihei, and only a short drive to other parts of Maui.
In a word Elua 701 is a gem. We hope to return for years to come and can recommend everything about this property one of the best on south Maui."

AMAZING TIME
"We had an amazing time staying at the Elua 701 condo. The condo was very well furnished and had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. The location was perfect, right next to the beach with the ocean view. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner on the patio every day. There is a pool, a BBQ area, and a gym. There is even a pickleball court. We played with my wife every day. The owner, Randy, was very responsive and made sure that everything was taken care of. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in Maui."
- 11/23/2023 -
Wonderful accomodations!
"We were able to rent Randy's property for our 2 son's and their girlfriends to celebrate pappa's 60th birthday. It was clean and classy. It is exactly as described to be and they are very very responsive and went above and beyond to provide recommendations. We look forward to booking again in our future travels to Maui."

I am a convert to condos!
"We loved the great care that the owners have taken in decorating this home with such special items. We cooked a few times for dinner and ate breakfast on the lanai every morning. The kitchen is fabulous and they have thought of everything that a cook needs. The beds are also very comfortable, and it is such a quiet, peaceful location. The closets are also roomy and thoughtfully laid out and the bathrooms are well designed. The main pool is perfectly located by the beach, and I snorkeled at the beach almost every morning. Lots of turtles! We also snorkeled at Ahihi Nature Preserve and that was special. The people volunteering there were great. The hidden gem is definitely the private overlook down the path from the condo and we spent almost every evening there watching the sunset. Check in was very easy and clear. The crew who run the condo are just first rate all the way around. We've been going to Maui since 2000 and this was our first time to rent a condo. Our last two trips we stayed in Wailea but at hotels including the Hotel Wailea, the Four Seasons and the Andaz. Frankly, you get so much more bang for your buck at your wonderful condo. And you have laundry facilities handy! I visited Iao Valley State Monument for the first time and that was neat and a nice drive. On the way back, we stopped at the Maui Plantation, which was unexpectedly delightful. We ate at Hali'imaile General Store three times -- it's my favorite place to eat in Maui!"
- 05/23/2023 -
Perfect
"This is a beautifully designed condo.My wife and I appreciated the island style furnishings, the artwork and the well-stocked kitchen and wine area. We had our breakfast every morning on the lanai and took in the ocean views. At night we sat out and watched the stars. I really enjoyed having the beach so close. We left feeing refreshed."
- 05/13/2023 -
Maui Delight
"We had the good fortune to spend the second half of our vacation at this property in the Wailea area. The landlord was responsive to the ultimate degree. He had restaurant suggestions, along with suggestions for local guides for things like going on a snorkeling trip. By the way, that turned out great, it was the great snorkeling experience of our lifetime and all thanks to Randy. The unit was well appointed, the project in which it is located looks like a four or five star resort, and the snorkeling right off the beach is excellent. We are from Florida and have been snorkeling on a number of occasions in the Florida Keys, and the snorkeling right off the beach at his unit, exceeded anything that we have done anywhere in the country. This comes with our highest recommendation."

YOU WILL NOT WANT TO LEAVE!
"All of the praises for Elua 701 in previous reviews are absolutely accurate & true! This property is perfectly located in the lushly landscaped & quiet Elua Village development in Wailea (our favorite part of Maui). A gorgeous beach, scenic walking path, restaurants, luxury hotels & shopping are within walking distance.
Randy & Julie's home was absolutely perfect for us (2 couples). Not only is the property well located but it has beautifully & thoughtfully been remodeled & furnished. It is sunny, bright & immaculate! With loads of attention to detail, there is an obvious desire by the owners for guests to enjoy, feel comfortable & appreciate being in Maui. We loved the fully stocked kitchen, deluxe linens & carefully chosen artwork (still in awe of the handcrafted dining room table & chairs). And what could be better than a glass of wine & a jaw-dropping sunset from the lanai?
Cannot express enough how much we appreciated working with Randy & Julie. Great communication before, during & after our stay. They made everything easy & were always available with recommendations & helpful tips to enhance our visit.
Our only regret was having to leave this gorgeous place - our stay was too short. Having vacationed in many rental homes over the years, we're delighted to have found Randy & Julie & Elua 701. We're putting this home at the top of our list when we next return to Maui ---- hopefully soon."
- 04/09/2023 -
Stunning
"It is wonderful there are hosts out there willing to share their art collections with us guests. The art in this condo was amazing. From the raw edge dining table to the prints in the guest room there was so much to look at. It's a great place to stay for adults that appreciate the finer things in life."
- 03/18/2023 -
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
"This condo is in the perfect location with easy access to the pool and the beach. The furnishings both indoor and outdoor are fantastic. The kitchen is very well stocked, the beds are comfortable with plenty of linens. The laundry station is so convenient. We used the beach chairs and umbrella numerous times. The Lanai is huge with comfortable chairs and tables and ceiling fan - we spent breakfasts outside and often returned to the lanai for happy hour! The grounds are outstanding with bright flowers, well maintained gardens and fish pond. The pavilion at the ocean side pool is very well equipped and we made use of the kitchen (fridge and ice machine), water bottle refill station and of course the gym. We took advantage of all that this beautiful property has to offer. When we had had enough sun, we took a very short walk to The Shoppes of Wailea for great shopping and happy hour. Spectacular all around - you couldn't ask for more. The owners are very pleasant to deal with. You will not be disappointed."

Maui Retreat
"Our experience with Randy and Julie through VRBO was seamless. We felt well informed and had all that we needed. Well appointed and lovely home! Beautiful view from the lanai and great location. Immaculate home! Pride of ownership and attention to detail shine."

The Fabulous Elua 701
"Our stay was fantastic. We stayed from 09Sep-28Sep2022. The unit is perfectly located in the village to access not only the ocean path and beach but also all of the great amenities in the Elua Village. You can walk to the Island Gourmet and Akamai Coffee. The Condo was incredibly elegant but comfortable and we felt so at home. I would absolutely recommend to anyone. We of course enjoyed the lanai every morning and evening. Not only is the view fabulous but you can hear and see the ocean waves breaking on the beach. We cooked dinner almost every night and the kitchen provided all top of the line items needed as if we were in our own home. The check-in was seamless. The parking is perfect as the spaces are shaded by beautiful Bougainvillea vines covering the parking structure. I am so happy we scheduled 2 condo cleanings during our stay. Not only did I feel like we were caring for this home but eliminated one less worry to ensure we completely enjoyed our stay. There are instruction cards located throughout the space which were perfect. We all appreciated the guidance in ensuring we were safely operating all of the high end mechanics in the condo correctly. And of course, Randy and Julie are the Best Hosts in my book. Knowing that I could communicate easily with Randy was an absolute plus. Also, remember to arrange a late checkout with Randy. I played a round of golf before leaving for the airport at 6pm! You will love this condo. Don't wait....or it will be gone! Barb, Salt Lake City, UT Your Happy Renter Barb"
