I have to start off by saying WOW. Matt was an amazing host. He always replied back to me very quickly. He provided great recommendations. His unit was so nice and clean and had anything you would need while on vacation. We loved the view and location this unit provided. We will definitely be returning.

This is our second time staying at this location and we would return again if traveling back to Maui. Everything you need is in the unit, or just a short walk away. The beautiful scenery from the lanai's is breathtaking. Watching the sunset each day was amazing. Be ready for an early morning wake up call by the local roosters, which could be before the sun rises. This is your chance to get out on one of the 2 lanai's and watch the sunrise and the beauty of the area come into focus

We had a great stay, we regret running out to the store to get necessities because once you look around the unit pretty much what you need is there. From beach equipment to cleaning supplies. There are a lot of food carts, restaurants etc in the area that you can just walk to. One of the highlights for us was the beach, the beach is right across the street. The water is warm and pretty. We stayed in the water up to our necks for about an hour. We definitely recommend staying here, if you need anything the owner is available to accommodate.

If you're not looking for a fancy resort, this is by far the best rental in all of Kihei. Matt is super friendly and full of tips and tricks to make your vacation special. The property is exactly as listed, large and spacious. Big comfortable couch, super comfy bed and clean linens. The kitchen is big enough to store food for the week and cook whatever you need. It's pretty amazing being able to wake up and watch the surfers from your balcony. We love to being able to walk downstairs to find food and do grocery shopping at foodland. The park across the street was a gorgeous spot to take sunset walks and watched a wild roosters. We would absolutely book here again in a heartbeat.

Matt & Colleen were on top of communications, very detailed and prompt. Came here a decade ago as two couples, came back here last week as a fam with a 6yo and 3yo. I gave this place 5 stars back then, and with the improvements, it's even better now. Place is clean, kid-friendly, came with everything including beach gear, coolers, etc. and everything you'd need in a kitchen. We used the AC / ceiling fan combo, alternately or as needed and found it to be more than adequate for April weather in Maui. We also used the dishwasher, washerdryer. Everything worked flawlessly. Balcony view faces a surf shop behind which is the ocean. And to the left you can see Haleakala! Last but not least, location!! Superclose to beaches, parks, restaurants. Easy parking in the back but also walking distance to places, esp helpful if you don't have a car.

We had a wonderful stay here. Communication with the owner was great, the area has a nice little food truck parking lot with a ton of great options. The view is amazing, right across the ocean. A lot of great parks nearby and there was plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend.

Great location near the beach, various beach facilities included, as well as a pool and BBQ area on site.

Our experience was as follows: Outside of building appears old and dated. Burglar bars on some unit doors, portable a/c units in 3 rooms the master was not as cool as other rooms, parking lot gave us sketchy feeling, Inside looks way better than outside, however the pictures give the appearance of a fresh bright airy luxurious feeling but it was very hot and stuffy upon entering, the portable units take a while to cool rooms, great amenities were provided, welcome gift, great host communication, washer and dryer in unit, great size TV’s, one bedroom had exterior door blocked with a chair and door lock, great beach chairs and umbrella and pool and beach toys, beach towels provided, the balcony view of beach was obscured, host did a wonderful job with upgrading the unit to feel like home. They had everything you’d need for your stay. There were two things that prevented a 5 star rating. 1. The A/C not on upon arrival very hot and stuffy inside. 2. Several encounters with crawling insects and bugs in bed on pillow, in bathrooms, in living room on wall and in desk drawer, 1 on sofa pillow and another on arm rest of sofa. That ruined the stay there because we were no longer comfortable always looking for or feeling like something was crawling on us. Maybe it was just time for another pest treatment. The building does look older than the pictures on the site.

We had a perfect stay in Kihei. Matt was extremely helpful and the unit had everything we needed, including the amazing view from the lanai. We ate at the Maui Gardens food trucks every day and got our morning coffee at Kraken, all just a couple minutes walk from the condo. We could not have had a more perfect stay.

![Island Surf Condo Penthouse Unit]()
I told the host I'd give a fair account of our experience at this condo. There is no malcontent here, just what we experienced. This condo would be perfect in Myrtle Beach, SC, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's what it is: old, run-down, smells bad, on the intersection of two roads (so not on the beach), and just, blah. Now, if you read through reviews, you'll see a pattern where people will share about how the condo was dirty, or there were insects or the place just felt grimy, and the host will say things like, "Well, you're on a tropical island" or "We have the condo professionally cleaned with pictures to prove it" and those comments are well and good, but the fact is there was hair in the shower and sink (sent pictures) and we found fleas in the mattress cover (took pictures and left on a paper towel for proof), and it just smells really old. Of course, we got the same responses as others who have stayed here, so clearly there is a pattern. Either there needs to be a new company hired to clean the condo, a complete reno of the place, or a willingness to work with people who paid lots of money to walk into an unhomely condo. We booked four nights but got out after 2. No refund offered (to be expected once you read all the reviews) but worth it to not stay there another 2 nights. Again, if you're cool with paying good money for a run-down, leave you feeling dirty condo, then you'll have no problems. But there are too many other places to stay in Kihei!

The unit was exactly as described in the listing. The view from the lanai is stunning. Location is so convenient. South Maui Gardens is right behind the building. Multiple restaurants, convenience stores, and a grocery store within a less than five minutes walk. I also cannot say enough positive about the host. Communication was top notch and they are so friendly. Checked in with us multiple times throughout our ten day stay simply asking if everything was up to our expectations and if there were any issues. If I could give both the condo and the boats a ten star rating, I definitely would. This was our first time in Maui, and definitely will not be our last. We will definitely stay in this same unit when we return. Do not hesitate to book this unit with complete confidence. Convenient, clean, furnished beautifully, fantastic area, easy parking, great communication. I simply do not know what else anyone could possibly want for a vacation rental. 10/10 will be back.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The views were perfect for whale watching which we did daily. Even enjoyed watching one breach at least 15 times. Once the balcony door was closed all traffic sounds disappeared for an enjoyable nights sleep. Location is great for grocery store and local restaurants.

Someone entered the unit while we were gone and left several items and mess behind, we were very concerned for our privacy as was violated while with our children. The owners didn't respond to our concerns and my further messages including bed bugs were left unanswered. Very frustrated with the lack of communication or resolve of our issues as these are larger issues and not small inconveniences.

This was my third stay at Island Surf 603. The owner, Pam, is an excellent communicator. The decor is nice without being overwhelming. The furnishings and fittings are of high quality. The cleaner does a great job.The location is ideal, with a panoramic, postcard-worthy view of Kalama Park and the ocean. While I had a rental car, I enjoyed being able to leave it parked much of the time. My longest walk walk was seven minutes (Starbucks) and my shortest three minutes (Sweet Hula at South Maui Gardens), with my two other frequent stops (Foodland market and Paia Fish Company) in between.I'm not sure if my travels will bring me back to Kihei, but, if they do, I won't stay anywhere except Island Surf 603.

We came to Maui for to celebrate a major wedding anniversary, and could not have been happier with our accommodations. Our biggest surprise was that the view was even better than the pictures. We spent every night that we could watching the gorgeous sunsets from the lanai.Steve was great to work with. We had one minor problem at the beginning. Steve was able to diagnose the problem quickly from home, and line up a repairman right a way. He was a great owner to work with.If we make a return trip to Maui, This would be the first condo we would check for availability.

This place was clean and overall a good experience. We were a little disappointed with only getting one bath towel each to use for six days. The room was really bright at night, so some blackout curtains would be amazing. The location was great, very walkable to many restaurants, stores and food trucks. We also enjoyed watching sunsets over the water every night.

We had a horrible start to our journey with flight getting canceled due to mechanical issues. However, once we stepped into the condo, all of our stress melted away! The view was absolutely gorgeous and the location qas steps away from great restaurants and rhe beach! Will definitely request to stay here again in the future!

Brooke was amazing to work with. There was a terrible storm days before we arrived and Brooke kept us in the loop about roof leak. Which was not leaking when we got there. Did not affect our stay. Watched the whales and people learning to surf from our balcony. Mostly all amenities but could have used oven mitts and a spatula.I’m sure if I mentioned to Brooke she would have gotten for us.
