Ligia was very helpful and responded back when we needed help. The location was perfect, view was great, and the building was quiet and peaceful.

The owner is very responsive to all your needs. She starts you off with a great introduction to the locale. When you arrive there is a bottle of wine and 2 glasses chilling in the frig. Unit is newly refurbished and tastefully decorated. Kitchen is the best equipped I've ever seen. Espesso machine! WITH COFFEE. Parking is secure and easy. Surfboard rental and beach right accross the street.

The view of the beach from this property is fantastic! The property is conveniently located close to restaurants, stores, the beach, etc. Ligia was a great host who responded to our requests in a timely manner. We would definitely rent this property again.

Pros: *The place is good enough for two. *Had "boogie boards", beach chairs and snorkeling stuff available on deck that we used. Didn't see a sign saying we couldn't, so we helped ourselves. *Mostly is as advertised. The walk across the street to the tiny beach didn't bother us. *Little store right below the rooms, around the corner, had drinks, snacks and trinkets available, if need be. Cons: *Some review may have mentioned a loud AC (if I remember correctly), that is true. I like to chill watching TV in the evenings after a long day. Had to turn up the volume to hear over the AC. *Shower curtain was dirty from the inside of the tub, upon arrival. Used one of their washcloths to clean it up best we could for the stay. *Hairs on the bathroom wall upon arrival. *Host is extreme about turning off AC when not in room. We stepped out one day and received a text from host about us having not shut off the AC. Felt weird, as if we were being watched, and I said so over text. She replied that they dropped off a dish scrubber and found the AC on. I replied I DIDN'T ASK FOR A SCRUBBER. Either way. Super weird. She told me how expensive the electricity is in Maui, etc. Well, too bad, but I'm from Alaska. When I get back to my room, after a hot day out, I don't want to wait 2 hours for a noisy AC to chill my room in order to get comfortable. My advice: Regardless of the electricity prices, but breathing down my neck because of the AC ruined it for me. If she stops that controlling trait, she will get better reviews. In fact, I was going to ignore the unclean shower curtain and hair on wall stuff, but after my frustration of feeling "snooped" on without asking for a scrubber, I decided to give my honest review. I know she tries hard, but sometimes you just have to let your guests be, unless they ask for your service. The silly scrubber thing really felt like it was her excuse just to check up on us. Note: Not the host's fault, but when the TV wasn't working for a day, she did a decent job in making an effort to resolve the issue and gave us access to another form of entertainment through an app, meanwhile.

If your looking for a location that is within walking distance to anything you will want, this is it! It is very busy due to the location, but the beach, Saltwater Café with organic and fabulous gluten free options was priceless for us. The unit is adorable, nicely kept and cozy. Wonderful stay!

The property was in a good location and was easy to get into. The property manager was incredibly responsive when we had an issue but the rental was not cleaned very well.

This condo was perfect. Starting with a beautiful condo with an owner that setting it up perfectly for amazing vacation. There were benoculars to see the whales from the lanai as well as chairs to use at the beach. She's thought of everything. Add to that the location is perfect with a beautiful view and walking distance to so many of our favorite restaurants. Thank you for an awesome visit. We'll be back.

Paddle boarding and surfing right across the street, great food and bars within 2 blocks, shopping nearby, deli and convenience store in the building—everything was at our disposal at this cute condo with great sunset views. Owner was helpful and provided plenty of insight for our trip to Kihei! Great time!!

The property was in a great location within Kihei. It was close to the airport and many restaurants and shops. Located across the street from a wonderful park and small beach area which was great for swimming and surfing. I would definitely recommend this property.

This unit, on the 6th floor of the Island Surf condos, was very comfortable for us. Everything was neat and tidy when we arrived. The bed was comfortable and there was a large sectional couch in the living area for spreading out and watching TV. The kitchen was well stocked ... esp. with things I usually forget to pick up at the store, like coffee filters and salt & pepper. The small balcony was great ... so nice to have breakfast out there while watching people learn to surf at Cove Beach. Opening the balcony door and the bedroom windows provided a nice cross-breeze on windy days so we didn't use the A/C at all. The only drawback to this unit was that it is close to busy Kihei Street so you get traffic noise all day long ... and of course some people have to gun their motors or play loud music in their cars. It you were hoping to hear the lap of waves and wind in the palms, this may not be the place for you. On the other hand, it is convenient to a number of shops and eateries, including an extensive food truck park just up the street, and is across the street from Kalama Park. Ligia was a very responsive manager and answered our questions promptly.

The unit had everything we needed. I stay in rentals regularly in Kihei and this one had some special touches that I found beneficial. Seasonings & coffee stocked, binoculars to catch some whales. Great sunset view and close to the usual places I eat and grab coffee. Lidia was a fabulous host and we had no issues with our stay.

We booked three nights at this property. It had a great view of the ocean. We discovered mold in the air conditioner as well as ants and fleas in the kitchen. We contacted the property host about the air conditioner but a replacement would not be available until after our stay would be complete. We left early after 2 of three nights due to poor air quality from the moldy Air conditioning system as well as the ants and fleas we discovered in the kitchen. I contacted the owner a couple of times to request a refund only for the night we did not stay. I sent them a photo of the moldy air conditioner. The owner refused to refund the night we did not stay.

The location of this property was great! The unit was clean and accurately pictured in the listing. The property manager was great to work with and super easy to communicate with. I would stay here again when visiting Maui.

Ligia was a fantastic host: communicative, welcoming, and accommodating. The Island Surf condos are in a great location for exploring South Maui, and a pretty central location for longer excursions to other parts of the Island. Being able to walk to Charlie Young and Kamaole 1 was a big plus. Unit is comfortable, but a little rough around the edges and could use some updates.

Great view! Nice balcony. Comfortable bed. Boogie boards, snorkel equipment, beach chairs, and beach towels available in unit for guest use. Very close to casual restaurants and shopping.



May 2022
The location is great, walk to restaurants, Kamala Park across the street and a great view from the lanai balcony. While the building is older, it is well kept and this condo, the owner has decorated very well. The owner is very responsive to any questions, check in process was easy. I would stay here again!!!

The unit was perfect for my stay; it had everything I needed, the view was amazing, it was centrally located to everything, and Ligia was always available if needed. Can't wait to come back!

The penthouse felt like having a home away from home but in this case we could see and hear the ocean. I would recommend this rental to anyone.


Sarah D.

The condo is quite old with no updates and the cleanliness of the place needs a lot of close attention by the host! The location is great, across from the beach with many shops around, although it is quite noisy at night with street traffic, especially if you have a guest sleeping on the pull out couch in the living room. The pull out couch is extremely dirty, my guest opted for the blow up bed we requested. The air conditioners in the bedroom and living room were both old and in need of updating as they don't put out much cool air and they cut in and out constantly - at minimum, changing the filter would probably help. Highly suggest paying a bit more for a newer, cleaner, updated, well maintained place, than staying here.

The ocean view was spectacular—more of a south west view with the surf shop below and across the street. You need to walk to the beach park across the street to see the sunset, however the walk is worth it. The house was stocked with coffee and an excellent espresso and coffee maker. It had all the amenities for cooking as well as spices and condiments. We used InstaCart for whatever else we needed. The Bose radio was enjoyable and a nice extra touch. There’s beach chairs, a cooler and plenty of towels for a beach day. The unit had AC—nice after a day in the sun. Upon our arrival, we found a chilled bottle of wine for our anniversary. Mahalo

Ligia is an excellent host; very responsive and accommodating. Everything was perfect except the carpets were very worn and appeared grungy; and the unit has some street noise. Ligia provided 2 pairs of excellent binoculars which were wonderful for sitting on the deck and seeing whales . The view is gorgeous.

The property location is great, parking is easy and plentiful. Property was clean, great view, great location by the beach and restaurants are close and walkable area. We appreciated condiments in the fridge and other little items available that made the stay like home. Binoculars, extra towels, washer/dryer etc. I would stay here again and recommend to a friend.

Very clean and comfortable. Ligia was a wonderful hostess, she checked in via text to be sure all was well, we appreciated it. The view from the balcony was beautiful! Nice paved walking/running area across street at the park/beach. Walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. Would consider staying here again if we return to Maui. Thanks for a great week!

We enjoyed our 6th floor condo. Wonderful ocean view. Easy walking distance to many restaurants, a grocery store and to many beautiful beaches. The host was great. The condo was well equipped.

Our stay in Kihei was perfect from the moment we arrived through our departure. After 15+ hours of travel, we arrived at night to our condo that was festively decorated for the holidays. In the morning we were blown away by the amazing view. The condo was clean and the kitchen had all the things one would need on vacation, including an espresso machine with great coffee. Our host was generous with helpful tips and outing suggestions. Of all the places we have stayed in Kihei, this is our favorite and we hope to return soon!

Overall, I am happy with the experience...and I would come back. Two things that can, and should be better are the internet connection (way too slow and unreliable), and the AC in the bedroom (it kept going off in the middle of the night and water would drip water). The apartment is not new or modern. However, it has all the basics. A few "modernization" things would put this place at the top of the list every time because of the location, convenience, and price. Lidia, the host, was fantastic and very friendly. Again, I would and probably will come back in the future.

We loved this condo! It was very comfortable and decorated with nice tropical island touches. Not to mention the amazing ocean view. Best of all, it was just a block or two from a wide variety of restaurants and bars. Something for everyone. It was on the top floor, so no sound of footsteps from above. Super comfy bed, with a friendly landlord who greeted us upon our arrival and ensured our stay was perfect. Would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I had a great time in Maui. Staying in the Penthouse Condo had a beautiful sunrise and sunset every day. It was close to everything we wanted to do. The management was always available and the condo was nice and accommodated us well

Wow. Where do I start. How about the one positive I have about this condo, is the view/location. Right in the middle of everything. Walking distance to grocery store and restaurants and shopping in general. The view from the balcony is beautiful. Now on to the reality of this condo. -The whole place was dingy and gross. Like nothing has been cleaned in years. The curtains to the patio door had layers of dust, dirt, stains, and dead bugs. The throw pillows on the old couch were threadbare and holey and stained. The walls were stained in the bathroom with dried hair stuck on it. I could go on for ages, but you get the picture. -No coffee table in front of the couch. Had nothing to set a drink on??!!! -The handle for the shower is nearly broken and falling off, you had to shake and pull hard...and cross your fingers it would turn on. -The maid service did a crap job. The comforter on the bed had literally dried chunks of snot and food. I wonder when it was last washed (shudder). We moved the coffee maker and some placemats on the countertop to make more room, and it was full of crumbs and ants. -ANTS! and ROACHES! The ants were just everywhere in the kitchen. Crawling on the dishes, food, and all over the bath room as well. Killed a few huge roaches, blech! Had to spend my own money on ant traps and whatnot to get them under control. -When we went to go make coffee, and the coffee maker had old moldy grounds still in it. And the espresso maker had old moldy water floating around in the tank. Super gross. -The old oven/stovetop works, but you don't know what temperature or setting your at because they have been rubbed off. Plus you can't really bake anything because there were no cookie sheets, only one muffin tin. -The washer and dryer held only two bath towels at once and has overall seen better days. I corresponded with the owner all of my concerns (with photos to prove I'm not some psycho). She completely ignored most of my concerns, and I'm not really sure she read my messages thoroughly because she had the building manager drop off a new shower curtain liner even though I never mentioned it (that was about the only thing clean). After spending my own money on pesticides, I strongly asked for her to get someone out to spray. She did get someone scheduled, but by the time they were to come out....I had the pest problem under control. All in all, for the t.h.o.u.s.a.n.d.s. of dollars paid for the trip, I got ripped off.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The location is literally steps away from anything you’d want to do while in Kihei (restaurants, bars, beach, surf rental, etc.)! We didn’t have a car and didn’t need one! The host was very quick to respond and left us with tons of amenities (boogie boards, snorkel gear, and a chilled bottle of wine upon arrival) 10/10! Thank you!!

If the “million dollar view” alone is not enough to bring one back to this dreamlike condo, it was so comfortable, roomy, and well appointed that I prayed at night I had moved in!!!

The location is good, it has good eating places and a nearby grocery store. The condo itself is nice and clean. Comfortable king size bed, bose sound system, nice balcony.

If you’re looking for a spacious place that has a top floor ocean view, full kitchen and laundry IN the room and within walking distance to the beach, dining and shopping and an awesome park then this is the place for you! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and fell in love with the place and the town of Kihei! The property manager was also on top of communication, super helpful and even had a surprise waiting for us when we arrived for our Honeymoon which was very sweet and made us love the place that much more!
