We enjoyed staying at this 6th floor penthouse across the street from a park on the ocean. Three beds for 4 people was perfect. It's nice to have a kitchen to save $ on food and a lanai to eat on or just sit and listen to the ocean, birds and breeze. There are lots of shops within walking distance or a short drive away. There are also some shops on the first floor of the building, including a nail salon which we took advantage of! We were there over Christmas and New Year's and were able to see fireworks from the lanai at midnight on New Year's. So much fun! A couple of us used the pool but that particular day was very windy so we didn't stay long. Any number of beaches north and south of the property are available to get your Vitamin D. Communication with Norma was very simple and she responded very quickly whenever we had a question or concern. We would highly recommend this unit to a group of 4-6 people. Our family of 4 was comfortable. Thank you, Norma, for helping us to have a great vacation on Maui!

Reviewer Comments:
This was the perfect stay for our vacation in Kihea. Condo had plenty of room for the 4 of us, great view of the beach and was within walking distance to various restaurants and grocery stores. We walked for coffee every morning and picked a new place every day. Great area of Maui where you are basically within 20 minutes of everything including the airport. Would definitely pick this one again!

This is an amazing condo, perfect for a Hawaiian vacation!! It is magical waking up and drinking coffee on the patio over looking the ocean, and all the surfers out with the sunrise. It is a great location as well, fairly central, easy to get to wherever you want to go on the island.
Patty the owner is great, she is super responsive, checked in to make sure everything was going well.
I have already sent this to a few of my friends who are looking at going to Maui this year, so I obviously HIGHLY recommend this property.

Everything was great! The property was very clean, exactly as described, and the ocean view was wonderful. We could see whales (bring binoculars) from the balcony!

This was a great property in Kihei. I will say I was a little skeptical at first because of the picture of the palm tree right in front of the lanai. It is bigger now and you have a gorgeous view of the ocean from inside and out on the lanai. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was clean and well equipped. Especially liked the big coffee pot for the morning. The only thing I can say on improvement for this property is to get more comfortable living room and lanai furniture. The biggest upside to this property is location. We loved South Maui Gardens behind the property with the different food trucks, music, and craft fairs that go on there. We also did a surf lesson which was right across the street. We would absolutely stay here again!

Most well stocked VRBO we've ever stayed in. Had absolutely everything we needed from the kitchen appliances and supplies, to beach towels, laundry and more. Very clean, fantastic location close to beaches, surfing, shopping, and restraunts, pool, parking and beautiful sunsets. We'll be back!

This property is definitely the best price/location combo I found, and because of that I'm giving it 4 stars. You can tell the owners care about the place because they decorated it very nicely and provide lots of great amenities that are super useful. They've done great work with such a small space.
Now for the cons:
1) Attention to detail, especially with cleaning. Somehow a shoe that was partially hidden by the draping of the comforter by the side of the bed such wasn't found by the cleaner. Not sure how, I immediately tripped over it. The tub/shower could also have been cleaner.
2) Bugs. I didn't count this against the star rating because I realize it's Hawaii, and Kihei, and an old building, and you can't control the cleanliness of your neighbors, but there were definitely bugs.
3) There was no shampoo or conditioner provided, just a bar of soap.
4) There's no dead bolt. This felt unsafe.
5) The shower curtain liner was gross. Recommend replacing more regularly, or getting one that is patterned, not white.
6) The shower head is crazy low. If you're over 5' tall you're going to hate the shower. A new head that goes higher (like the kind that is also a handheld) is like $30 and easy to install and would make this sooooo much nicer for tall guys like me.
7) A curved shower curtain rod is cheap, easy to install, and would make the shower so much nicer.
8) The lights outside are always on and the curtain isn't very dark. A blackout curtain would be really nice.

The property has a great view and is close to everything. The dive shop and surf shop were in the same building. You could walk to the beach, restraunts and shops. The place had everything you'd want in the kitchen and rooms. The host was very communicative and everything was perfect.

This condo was the perfect stay for our week long vacation on Maui. The location was great as we could walk to multiple beaches, restaurants, and a grocery store. Not to mention the amazing views from the balconies! The condo was stocked with pretty much everything we needed. Thank so much Matt & Colleen! We will be back!

This condo was truly amazing. Tons of parking, easy access, and conveniently located close to a ton of restaurants and bars. Make sure you stop by Foodland and try the 8 different kinds of poki they sell! I would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be staying here when I come back. Every unit has a balcony with a view of the ocean and we definitely took advantage of it!

Everything about this place was great. Place appears recently updated - very well done. Location within Kihei is accessible to everything you could want. Condo was very clean and well-stocked.
The only small downside is you get a bit of traffic noise from the lanai. But that's a product of the great location.
I'd for sure stay here again.

The condo is right across the street from the beach so there is a view. We enjoyed walking at the beach park each morning because there are huge sea turtles to see. The only negative is there is a lot of street noise so it was hard to enjoy the balcony.

We stayed here for a week with 2 teenage children. The kids were comfortable on the pull out and it was nice that we had a bit of privacy from them with the separate bedroom. We really liked the location and easy access to beaches and many amenities like grocery and drug stores. We made good use of the beach equipment and kitchen throughout our stay. This was by far the best stocked VRBO I've ever stayed in!
The kids also enjoyed the pool when we had had enough of the beach. As other reviewers have said, the air conditioner is quite loud, but that's not unlike any window air conditioner. We didn't find the street noise a problem at all, and in fact I was surprised at how quiet the building was generally. We never heard the neighbors, which is rare in an apartment building. We did find the bedroom quite hot at night since the air conditioner is in the living room, but we made use of the fans that were provided and kept fairly comfortable.
Marian was very responsive and we really enjoyed our stay here.

My husband and I loved our stay at Matt's condo during Thanksgiving! We really appreciated the cooler, snorkel gear, & everything needed for the beach. We also loved having a wash machine so we could rinse our suits and hang them on the extra shower rod. We enjoyed the deli downstairs for sandwiches on the go & all the great, local restaurants & bars within walking distance. Lastly, the morning & nightly views from the balconies were exceptional. Perfect place for coffee in the morning & wine at night. If we ever go back to Maui, we will defintely reach out to Matt again!

Lovely, modern and spacious condo across the street from the beach and steps from all the fun Kihei bars and restaurants. Plenty of shops and rentals as well. Be sure to visit the South Maui Gardens with its exotic food trucks, coffee shops, plant nurseries, koi ponds and live music right behind the complex.

We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. Our family and friends have stayed in this complex in the past and have been very happy with their units. But this unit tops them all, top floor, great views, everything you could possibly need for cooking. So convenient, close to shopping, walking distance to the beach with chairs, umbrella, and coolers, grocery store, and restaurants. A grab and go store downstairs. We will definitely come back. Pam responded promptly to any questions. Couldn’t be happier with our stay. Mahalo

We have stayed in many condos over the last 20 years in Island Surf. Island Surf 606 is the best 1 bedroom unit in the entire building! Master bedroom with awesome views and living room with awesome views! Condo completely updated with quality furnishings! Did I mention the location? Best location in Kihei! Walk to shops and quality restaurants! And short walk to Charley Young Beach! Thank you Matt and Colleen for sharing your condo! We will be back!

Wonderful condo, quiet and clean with superb views of the park and water. Perfect location in Kihei near the stores and restaurants; lots of parking and a spacious condo with all the utilities. Air con was great in both main rooms, tv and kitchen area also spot on. The pool area is fantastic too - we had everything we needed for a great stay and would love to come back! Mahalo!

First off, thank you Matt! What a wonderful host. Readily available and always looking out for his guests. Many great recommendations.
This place was a gem! The double lanai. The best sunset view I caught my whole trip to Maui. And I toured all over the island. This place is special. The locale to amazing food (South Maui gardens), night life and beautiful parks and Beaches. All in walking distance. I can't wait to come back!
Mahalo Matt!

Steps to the ocean, shops, and South Maui Gardens, this condo was perfect for my husband and me for 9 days (and we wished we could have stayed longer). It's big and bright and may have the best views in Kihei. Despite the proximity to great restaurants (and food trucks), we mostly cooked in the extremely well-appointed kitchen and enjoyed our meals on one of the two lanais. This is a great location for being active (paddle boarding, surfing, outrigger canoeing) or just relaxing. Matt and Colleen have outfitted this condo with everything needed for a fun and relaxing stay.

We have stayed at the location before at another condo and loved how close we were to everything. The location is amazing and we love waking up to a view of the ocean. This condo unit was okay, we loved the last one we stayed in a lot more. We noticed that the bathroom mirror was really dirty and the manager did drop off Windex the next day for us. I ended up having to clean it daily because it is old and gets a film over it after every shower. The shower smelled like mildew and you can see the build up on the shower doors. The last VRBO we have stayed at always have a kitchen with spices and basics this one only had salt and pepper. They also only inlucded two beach towels so I had to do laundry a lot. You get what you pay for though and are traveling on a budget this one is not bad.
