This studio was the perfect place! It was close to the beach and all the great local eateries in Kihei. The location was great to catch a beautiful sunset on the lanai.The studio was clean for the most part, however the floors could’ve been swept and wiped down before our arrival as the bottom of our feet would turn black from the dirt and sand.

I had a great stay and would like to stay here again. The only issue I had was no toilet paper or tissues in the unit. Would have been nice to have even a partial roll. Other than that, the unit was clean, easy to keep cool and insect free. The hot tub was broken down but that’s not the host’s fault. Overall great stay.

The room was very clean and had a Bright Hawaiian décor. There was a Nice protective small sandy beach across the street. Full Fridge came in handy. Had to be very careful taking a shower in the bathtub-wish there was a small bath mat. Bring earplugs, because it's next to the main road. The parking fills up really fast at night. I did not use the pool or BBQ, but had to fill in something on the survey. Suppose to be a nice restaurant across the street call Monsoon, which I did not make it to. My rating is 4.6. I would stay here again.

Shower/Tub is not draining well and water builds up when showering. The bath tub had rust on it.

Overall property was nice but Air conditioning really wasn’t great took over 4 hours to cool the room down in the evening and air doesn’t reach the restroom so it’s hot all the time.

The room was great for what we needed . Wasn’t fancy but that’s not really what we were looking for anyways . Great location on the island for all the excursions we had planned . Lots of great beaches very close to the room and lots of great places to eat .

We were central to everywhere we wanted to go. You just can't smoke on the balcony and that wasn't clear. They have a smoking section in back of parking lot you can use. The location to the beach was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our time, it was wonderful. My only negative was actually finding the room in the complex. We had to circle a few times then my husband had to walk into the dark inside to find it.

Loved the location, nice clean unit, and Kevin was great to work with when we had questions. The private tennis court was incredible. The balcony and glass door/windows face the road, so light sleepers may want earplugs. 100% would stay here again if we come back to Maui.

The facilities were as described, in a quiet location, overlooking the crystal clear pool with a mountain as backdrop. The bed was comfortable, and the sofa provided comfortable seating. The unit itself was impeccable, well appointed and conveniently located. The a/c is challenged in cooling down the unit efficiently in both time and temp. If the wind is sufficient, you may choose to turn off a/c, open the patio door, and blast the fans. The rules are well documented and clearly stated throughout the home. The WiFi name is on the router in the event there is difficulty in connecting. The connection to Spectrum can be tricky as it will start to retrieve data then the signal is lost! It’s a way of life in HI with Spectrum—no reflection on your technical skills! I found streaming on my phone/laptop to work out quite well.I especially like the proximity to South Maui Garden which has numerous casual dining establishments, shopping, and proximity to an oceanside park.

This property was a major disappointment. The unit was dirty, poorly maintained, and the host was unresponsive.From the start, the AC unit was broken and replaced with a portable unit that did not cool the space and leaked water continuously, leaving puddles on the floor and soaking some of my belongings. The unbearable heat inside made our stay extremely uncomfortable.The overall cleanliness was unacceptable: hair on the bed linens, stained towels (some clearly cut from larger ones), a broken bed frame, a dirty oven, and a microwave missing its turntable ring. Basic kitchen items were lacking—there was only one cup for water.Despite notifying the host immediately, very little was done. The host’s “maintenance” crew was unprofessional and ineffective. Calls and texts came at inconvenient times, but no one actually resolved the problems. His follow-up was minimal, and at one point, he went silent for nine days after.Instead of enjoying our trip, we spent it cleaning, mopping leaks, and struggling in unbearable conditions. This was not the experience promised when booking and fell far below reasonable expectations for a Vrbo rental.

Amazing! So nice and clean. Very impressed. My only issue that arose, was that some people were parking taking up two spots not leaving room for others. Maybe leave parking instructions for the lovely foreigners who don’t know better. Mahalo! Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone 10/10

Staying at Jennifer's condo at Kihei Bay Surf was so relaxing and exactly as the description and photos depicted on VRBO. The location was close enough to the heart of Kihei but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. Being directly across the street from Kalepolepo Beach was so convenient. Having my morning coffee on the lanai every morning with an ocean view was a highlight of this comfortable condo. I highly suggest this condo to anyone who enjoys an ocean view and quick access to the beach. Thank you, Jennifer, for an relaxing time at your property. I will be back!!BradleyVancouver, Canada

The property was just as described! We were here on our honeymoon and were not in the actual room much, but really appreciated the air conditioning! The beach is just a short walk away and the rental came with snorekel gear along with some other beach items. We did not use the tv, but comes with a variety of platforms. We did have to contact the rental and they were great to respond quickly! The picture was of two doves on a tree right outside our door!

We had a great stay. It was the perfect central location to get around Maui. It’s a little noisy being right on the main Kihei road but other than that it’s a perfect place!

The house is completely for one person and when we arrived, there were lids and flies in it. We couldn't sleep at night. We even had to stay in the car for one night. We couldn't sleep well. All of the expenses were blocked. The toilet was clogged very often. The towels also smelled bad. We dried with paper towels. It was an extremely small and insufficient stay for its price. He was going to make us wash dishes without shame. He said you can eat what's in the closet. However, if we didn't check, we would be poisoned. There were expired products.

As several reviews noted, the best asset of this apartment is its location, very close to the fish pond and nearby beaches. I also appreciate the beach chairs provided. However, the apartment needs a serious upgrade. The bed is hard and old, the furnishings are not functional and oversized for the space. It looks like they were gotten from a thrift store sale. The kitchen lacked some utensils like a pan to make eggs and spoons. Towels and linen are very worn. The worst issue was the sewage smell coming from the bathroom vent. It clearly needs to be fixed. When we arrived to checking in, the cleaning person was moping the floors but, overall, the place was a bit filthy.

Price was good but Not ocean view whatsoever, not a working ac unit leaked and flooded the entire trip. Given obviously dirty towels, floor not swept. Tissues and dirty boxers upon arrival, loud undisclosed construction out front. Sewage smell throughout and felt dirty. The unit is too hot to sleep comfortably. No hand soap in the unit. Needs some serious tlc And update to listing

We knew we weren't going to cook much, so much great food on Maui but I was not prepared for how poorly stocked the kitchen was. I bought some yogurt and granola to eat for breakfast before my morning swim but there are zero bowls or spoons in this apartment, I got plastic spoons when I ate out and cleaned a take out container to use as a bowl. The kitchen was completely unequipped. Check out at 10am is firm - we forgot our camelback, goggles, and a couple other things it the code expires at 10am sharp so we couldn't get back in. I think the property owners seem nice on messages, they just need to make a stop at goodwill for some basics.

Perfect location — very convenient for getting everywhere. Our flight was delayed and we arrived quite late, but the host kept in touch and made sure our check-in went smoothly. The condo is also fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for the beach, including chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, and a cooler. It made our stay so easy and enjoyable.

The location of this property is fantastic — close to beautiful beaches, great local spots, and a vibrant area to explore. Unfortunately, the cleanliness fell short of expectations, with some areas (including the shower, sheets, and sink) not as clean as we would have hoped. Check-in was also a bit challenging as we did not receive the entry code and had to make several calls to gain entry. With some improvements to cleanliness and communication, this could be an outstanding stay given the prime location.

First of all, I would like to say that Kevin was the worst host that i have EVER interacted with. I was going through some difficult times and needed desperately to at least change my dates for the reservation, reached out to Kevin multiple times asking if he would change my reservation, because he was quick to reapond NO REFUNDS, NEVER responded to my conservative questions regarding the change of dates. As for the condo, very outdated. The bathroom smelled like mold the entire time,

We got very clear check in and out instructions. Parking is included and easy to park. The Owner of the property also provided snorkeling and others equipments for us to have fun in water.
The air conditioner is kind loud and not working very effective.
Overall this property is a great option for the price. I think I would rent it again if I go to maui again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It really felt like home for us. Very clean, comfortable, quiet, well stocked pay-it-forward items, AC was super cold, beds were so comfy, lots of extra pillows, bedding and towels. My boys even got to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi. We really appreciated Kevin as our host as he was very quick and open with communication. I’ll definitely book again when we visit.
