We were initially booked for this unit but due to construction above, the apartment manager moved us to E105. It was in a nice location but smelled as if it had been a smoking unit previously. The finish of the apartment was not quite what we would have expected for the price either.
However, the apartment managers (Destination Residences) are great. They were accessible by phone or text and responded very quickly during the day. I would highly recommend booking with them, just not E105 unless it’s at a substantial discount.
Makena Surf is an amazing condo community. The grounds are well maintained, both beaches are clean and uncrowded, and the reefs off the coast are amazing for snorkeling (many tour boats come here for the turtles).
