The Island Surf complex provides ample parking for residents/guests immediately behind the building. The complex also features a lovely pool with lounge chairs and tables. There is also a common barbecue area with multiple gas barbecue grills.

The Island Surf complex features stairwells (at each end of the building), as well as an elevator in the middle of the building that services all floors. This condo is on the third floor of the building and because it is an end unit, it provides guests with increased privacy. There is a trash chute near the middle of the building for the convenience of guests on the upper floors.

The Island Surf complex is directly across from Kalama Park and Cove Beach Park (normally providing excellent beginner to intermediate surfing and paddle boarding conditions). Kalama Park features large grassy areas and many beautiful trees for those who wish to enjoy the ocean views, while remaining in the shade. Beach park facilities include bathrooms, outdoor shower facilities, a children's play area, an in-line skating rink, a skateboard park, sand volleyball courts, tables/benches, and grassy areas for relaxing, having picnics, playing games, etc. Charley Young Beach and Kamaole Beach Park I are also just a short walk away from the Island Surf complex. Many other excellent Kihei and Wailea beaches are also just a short drive away from the condo. These numerous, beautiful white sand beaches provide excellent areas for various beach activities and other fun in the sun. There is free public parking at nearby Kalama Park, Charley Young Beach, and the Kamaole Beach Parks, as well as at many of the other public access beaches in Wailea and Makena. From all of these beaches/parks, visitors can enjoy spectacular views, look for turtles along the shore, watch whales (primarily during the winter months), etc. Don't forget to pack your binoculars for close-up viewing of whales, turtles, etc., from the beaches and shoreline walking paths! At various locations within Kihei, some within walking distance from the condo, guests can also rent gear (surf boards, paddle boards, snorkel gear, dive equipment, etc.) and arrange for lessons to improve their skills! The owner of this condo supplies guests with beach towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a beach cooler, and some beach toys.

Please note that all guests must register upon arrival by leaving a completed registration form in the office next to the elevator. Information required for registration will be coordinated in advance of your stay. For everyone's safety/security, it is important for the on-site property manager to be aware of all residents/guests, as well as all cars that will be parked on the property. All guests must comply with the Island Surf House Rules, intended to ensure the safety, security, and enjoyment of all guests and residents. Smoking is strictly prohibited in this condo (including the lanai), and in all common areas of the complex (except for the designated, outside smoking area near the back of the complex, away from the building).

Owners live in Maui and directly mange this condo themselves. If they are ever on vacation and unable to support their guest's directly, they engage a local property manager to fully support their guest's needs. Contact information for the owners (or other property manager) will be provided prior to the guest's arrival.

As guests plan their vacation in paradise, they are encouraged to consider purchasing travel insurance addressing potential issues such as trip interruption, loss or damage to personal items, etc. We want all guests to have a pleasurable experience, even if unanticipated issues should occur.
