What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 849 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Island Surf draws rave reviews for its unbeatable, walkable location in the heart of Kihei. The condos sit right across from Kalama Park and Cove Beach, so guests sip morning coffee while watching surf lessons, volleyball, and sunsets over the ocean; many even spot whales from their lanais in season. Food is a standout convenience: South Maui Gardens’ food trucks, cafes, and the Foodland grocery are a short stroll, with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Parking is easy, elevators are handy, and the spot makes a great base for exploring beaches in Kihei/Wailea and day trips around the island.

Inside, most units are described as clean, comfortable, and impressively well stocked—think full kitchens, quality cookware, spices, beach chairs/umbrellas, boogie boards and snorkel gear, coolers, laundry in-unit, and thoughtful extras. Many hosts earn praise for clear communication and quick responses. Views and breezes are a big part of the experience, and several renovated units add quieter split A/C and upgraded, sound-reducing sliders; the pool and BBQ area are a useful bonus.

Common caveats: this is an older, lively, in-town building on S. Kihei Road, so daytime street/park noise (plus the occasional rooster) is normal, though it’s much quieter with doors closed and at night. Periodic construction/structural work has caused daytime noise for some stays. Comfort details vary by unit—some A/Cs have timers or are weaker/noisier, a few units felt dated, and occasional cleanliness or pest hiccups were reported but not a consistent theme. The beach directly across can be small/rocky; most guests walk a few minutes to the swimmier Kamaole beaches. If you’re after a resort feel, this isn’t it—but for a well-equipped condo with stellar views, strong host support, and top-tier walkability, Island Surf is a repeat favorite.

I stayed in Maui with my best friend for a week and we were in between 3 places. I am SO HAPPY we stayed here! Everything was walking distance. The beach park was in front of the building but the beach to swim was only 10 mins away walking. The South Maui Gardens was also right next door which is a beautiful plant nursery with food trucks, live music, small cute breakfast places, and events that a lot of people drive to. We only used our rental to go explore Hana and the luau in Lahaina because everything was so close. The room was absolutely perfect and comfortable! 10000/10!!! :)

Unit was very well equipped and maintained. Spent about 5 minutes trying to get in until I figured out that the code was not for the lockbox. My bad.Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a truly exceptional stay at this condo in Kihei. The host had absolutely everything thoughtfully prepared, from detailed local recommendations to an incredible selection of beach accessories (chairs, umbrellas, cooler, surf boards, you name it!). The place was spotless, beautifully organized, and in a fantastic location just steps from the beach and great food spots. It’s rare to find a rental that feels this welcoming and well-equipped. A perfect home base for exploring Maui. Thank you Matt.

Great stay in the south end of Kihei. Walkable to many great spots. Great View. Highlights for me was having my own washer/dryer in the unit, fast wi-fi, Btita Water Pitcher, and Ice Maker, along with a coffee maker in the room.

We stay at this particular location regularly and we always have a great stay! This specific unit was exceptional! Aloha

August 2025

Location was beautiful. Ocean view was beautiful. The place was clean and fully stocked with supplies for us all around. Only thing was a little confusing was finding the location in the building. Had to ask a store worker on the first floor how to access the condos.

August 2025

We loved staying here. It was exactly like the pictures and located right across from the beach and walking distance to a lot of places in time area. On our second day the WiFi had went down and later that day we ended up getting locked onto the balcony after closing the sliding door and unfortunately missed out on an expensive excursion we had booked for the evening. The property owner and his team were extremely apologetic and helpful in resolving our inconveniences. They responded almost immediately to any question we had. If you're planning on staying in Maui, you definitely won't regret staying here. Todd and his team are the best.

The location was absolutely perfect! Best food spots and beaches are so close. The space was exactly as described and pictured, and it was clean and well cared for. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided as well! Communication was clear and easy, and check-in / check-out was seamless. We would gladly stay here again on our next trip to Maui. Highly recommend!

My family and I absolutely fell in love with this place! The attention to every detail within the condo is unmatched in any other place I’ve ever stayed. Highlights included great music across the street, daily games of pick up volleyball, fantastic and affordable surfing, food truck village one parking lot over. I could go on and on. Loved the vibe at Kalama Park. Our host Patty provided us with early check-in and answered every question in a timely and thorough way. Can’t recommend this place enough! Oh…..and the view was so great I couldn’t look away. Simply stunning!

Everything about this condo is great. Free parking, across from the beach, short walk to the store and food truck… the list goes on. On site pool, friendly staff, grill on the property. A/c in all rooms which was great for us as Canadians. Loved the space and location! Thank you again!!

This condo was fantastic! Great, responsive owners who have equipped the condo with all kinds of needed little items! The views were spectacular, and the location is walking distance to so much. The road is loud, but the sliders do a great job of keeping out the noise. The A/C units for the very hot weather were effective.

Great, except, circuit breaker kept popping. You would have to turn everything off to use one thing very annoying. Please fix this.

AMAZING PROPERTY!! Matt really is a super host! He has ensured you have everything you need at the condo for your stay! The kitchen is stocked as well as your own at home! The bed is extremely comfortable & it’s so handy having a washing machine & dryer. There’s beach chairs, coolers, and even hooks in the shower for your wet bathing suits. The condo is located in a great part of town, many restaurants a short walk & a convenience store just downstairs.The sunset views from the patio are breathtaking! Book this condo I highly recommend!

Perfect location and walking distance to beach, food trucks and shopping. Very nice, cozy place and a great host. We appreciate you allowing us access to the room before check in at 4pm and allowing us to check out later. Your communication was excellent. We don’t have any complaints. Thank you for having us!

We absolutely loved our stay in Kihei at this apartment. It is right along the beach and close to everything. The Foodland grocery store is within walking distance as is the food truck park with tons of amazing food options. The apartment is quiet and the AC in each bedroom as well as the living room makes the stay super comfortable. The balcony is well appointed and avoids the sun for most of the day until sunset which is ideal. Because it is on the Main Street, it can be a little noisy at night if you’re adjusting to jet lag from the mainland but nothing a few earplugs can sort out. All in all our stay was fantastic and we would stay here again the next time we are in Maui!

July 2025

Great property with all the amenities you need to enjoy the beaches of Maui. There are so many food trucks within walking distance of the condo that we really enjoyed. But our favorite thing was to sit on the lanai in the mornings with our coffee and watch the surfers or in the evening to enjoy the sunsets.

Amazing place to stay, location, view and perfect accommodations for our 5nts there! Definitely would stay again and recommend for others!

July 2025

The rental was great, nice amenities and well supplied. We loved the actual condo and its location was so centrally located we were able to walk to many of our favorite restaurants and community functions. The only reason I rated the overall stay lower than a 5 star was the building was under construction and there was constant concrete jackhammering noise coming from the roof. We often vacation in Kihei, and we planned our vacation to escape our own remodel in Los Angeles. The noise was constant through the day and was annoying and did not allow us to relax in the condo during the day.

Our family had a great time at the condo in Kihei. The rooms were spacious, the place had everything you need for cooking and the beach (minus life jackets but those were easy to rent). The location was perfect and within walking distance of tons of restaurants, shops, and the ocean. I would definitely recommend this place and if we're ever in the area again would happily stay there.

Great location with overstocking of amenities. Everything was great except the quality of the A/C unit. It's a small room but still wouldn't cool the room till 4am or so. all else was perfect.

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay and a better host! Matt was accommodating, friendly, professional and welcoming. He gave clear instructions on how to check in and check out. The unit was indeed beautiful and clean with gorgeous views and conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and the beach. This will be my first go-to place anytime I’m in Maui.

Best place to stay, in front there are sports fields, there are places to eat well, on one side there is a place that offers the luau show, excellent atmosphere and delicious food, a privileged location, they are undoubtedly part of what made our trip fabulous, staying there

Overall the stay was good. Make sure set your bedroom AC units to no lower than 78 or the circuit breaker will kick in. Then you'll need to reset it at the electrical panel. Once we understood that the stay was fine.

June 2025

This apartment was perfectly located with an incredible ocean view. We loved that so much was within walking distance—great food trucks just around the corner, nearby grocery stores, and a fun shopping area with plenty of souvenirs.The apartment itself was absolutely perfect. It was fully stocked with all the essentials, right down to the spices and coffee filters. Pam and Doug truly thought of everything—the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beach gear in the storage cabinet (chairs, floaties, etc.) made it so easy to enjoy our time by the water.It felt like home from the moment we arrived. We loved our stay and would absolutely choose this place again if we return to Maui.

The views from both rooms were beautiful. The road noise during the afternoon & evening was loud. Local vehicles with loud blaring steros were very disappointing. Sunsets were amazing. There wasn't a dining table area which was disappointing for entertaining. The condo was nicely equipped.

Matt and Colleen are awesome hosts. Great location! The description/pictures of the rental are all on point. I was wondering about the noise from the street, and there were no issues at all. We were able to walk to Foodland and we also tried some of the food trucks right next to the complex. Will definitely stay again! "A hui hou"!

Nice property with great view. Easy access to needs and activities (walked alot). Could use blackout drapes (outside light lit up bedrooms at night and the sun lights them up before 5am). Lots of homeless in the area but they don't seem to bother anyone. Food trucks near by were good eating places too. I'd recommend it to friends.

This location was PERFECT! To wake up every morning to the beautiful ocean views, breeze and sights was a gift. We received great instructions on how to find the condo and navigate the parking, building and unit. The walkability of this location was fantastic. It's located right next to Maui Gardens which has food, live music and shows, grocery store nearby, shopping, beaches restaurants and more. We would recommend staying here!

Bryan W.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this apartment. The room was just as described. It is located on the 6th floor and there are elevators or stairs to access the room. Parking was not a problem. You are across the street from the ocean, one block away from brunch spots or food carts. The area is quite convenient. Communication was prompt and helpful. The room itself is simple but the small amenities like beach chairs and boogie boards are a nice touch. We would stay here again.

May 2025

We love this property and hope to stay there again in the not so far future! It is in an ideal location, across from the park and ocean, close to wonderful dining and the sunsets are breathtaking. To be able to sit on the couch and watch the sunset was worth everything! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you plus more. Thank you fo remaking our anniversary and Mother’s Day a trip we will never forget! Oh, and Patty is the BEST! Everyone needs Patty in their life, thank you Patty!
