This condo exceeded our expectations. It was perfect for our family of 4. We loved waking up early and watching the surfers and paddle boards from the lanai. We enjoyed the ocean breezes that kept the condo cool and comfortable. (There is air conditioning but we found the open air breezes to be more enjoyable). The location was ideal. We walked to restaurants and the beach even though they are a short few minute drive. We absolutely loved going to South Maui Gardens right behind us in the evening for entertainment and food trucks. The host Patty was responsive and super accommodating! We could not recommend this condo enough!

We stayed at Matt and Colleen's condo last week. I can't say enough about the exceptional location. So much to do within walking distance. If you are a golfer, there is a very nice reasonably priced course within a 5-10 minute drive from the condo.
Parking is in the back of the building so no worries trying to find street parking as you come and go from exploring the island.
There is also a very cool food truck park behind the building with almost every type of food available.
With regards to the actual unit, the king size bed has the most wonderfully comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. (no exaggeration!). There are a variety of masks, fins and snorkels...beach chairs...boogie boards and more. The Lanai has full water views and the location allows for great people watching from above :-) Surf lessons are taught via the surf shop next door and provide some interesting entertainment while having your morning coffee on the Lanai.
Can't say enough about good things about this exceptional home away from home.
We hope to return.
A big thank you to Matt and Colleen.

The condo is well located in the midst of several beaches and neighborhood restaurants and bars. Most places were within walking range - in fact we didn’t even rent a car. The. Building was under construction on the ground floor, but that did not impact our stay at all.

Sitting on the lanai sipping coffee and enjoying the ocean. What a way to wake up in the morning! The condo was very well stocked (better than our home), Pam and Doug have thought of everything. Just add your food. Very clean and ready for you to enjoy your stay…we sure did. Pam informed us about the South Maui Gardens behind the building, lots of food trucks and fun. Centrally located so you can walk to the beach, restaurants & shopping. Pam quickly communicated with us when we had questions. She also checked in on us to make sure our stay was going well. If you are in Kihei and this place is available, get it. You will love it! Thanks again to Pam and Doug for accepting our reservations. Mahalo

I travel to Maui for work every month. This unit is the perfect location; lots of food trucks and other awesome food locations nearby.
The view is fantastic, and I really appreciated how quiet the AC was!
Clean unit with everything I needed. Hope to stay here again.

This was my second stay in 603, and everything was still top of the line. The location's convenience has been enhanced by the addition of the adjacent Suth Maui Gardens food trucks and entertainment. The cleanliness and amenities are still unsurpassed. And, best of all, owner Pam continues to demonstrate unflagging concern and care for her guests.

We enjoyed our time in Maui. The walkability to dining and restaurants was great. The food trucks were great. The condo was comfortable but unfortunately there was constant construction going on the whole time which limited my childs ability to rest. I know this isnt in the owners control but I do wish this would have been socialized with us ahead of time as its not really conducive to a nap schedule. The pool wasnt ideal (and we didnt want to use it with all the construction noise anyway) and while you can surf in the waters across the street there isnt a traditional sandy beach which is ideal for families, particularly those who were trying to walk everywhere. Overall, we had a good time but would not return.

Great Condo located in the heart of Kihei. Beaches, parks, shops, restaurants and bars. Great view of ocean with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Our hosts, Ligia and Mike couldn’t have been better. Our first nite we had problems with the TV set. The next morning they showed up with a brand new 65 inch set. Ligia would text every few days to check if all was well and see if we needed anything. Great hosts, great Condo!

We love this property and Island Surf in general. Second time at this condo and it was very comfortable. Bed and ac are most important and they were great. Kitchen is well stocked and we actually took the time to cook at home this trip. Thank you for a wonderful condo!

Matt & Colleen have a beautiful cond on the 6th floor of this beautiful sight right across the street from any thing you could imagine to do at the beach. Would definitely come back during whale season. The unit was well supplied, clean and beautifully decorated.

If you are looking for a grand resort in Waimea, this is not it.
But if you want clean, comfortable, well stocked, good location with ocean views…THIS IS THE PLACE.
Stayed 8 nights first week of February. Charming older building in the heart of Kihei. Perfect size for couples. Spent every morning having coffee/breakfast on the lanai watching the whales jump and play.
Food trucks and several restaurants a short walk away (Happy Belly was a favorite). Grocery store 10 min walk.
There is a community gardens to the north of the building and most nights there would be a show or concert. Can open the door to the unit and listen quite well or attend the gardens for a small fee.
Linda was very easy to communicate with. Thank you Linda for allowing us to use your condo. Hope to stay again someday.

We felt that we were coming to stay in someone's home--who had arranged everything for our comfort. It's the top floor, truly best view on the beach, looked like a painting of palm trees, water and sky! Whenever we were in the suite, we opened the sliding glass doors--the temperature was perfect around the clock, the nightime quiet was a good contrast to the street sounds of the day. We followed all of Matt's recommendations--the food trucks around the corner, the lilikoi french toast up the street. Matt was in good contact, let us know that we could check in early, of which we took advantage. We made multiple stops on this trip, all great, but this was my favorite!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this VRBO listing! From the moment we arrived, we were thrilled with the comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. The location is unbeatable, offering easy access to surfing and snorkeling—a real treat for anyone looking to dive into the natural beauty of the area.
The nearby aquatic center was a big hit with the kids, and having Foodland close by meant we could grab poke whenever the craving struck—definitely a highlight! Lunches were a delight with delicious fish tacos at local eateries, and dinners out with my wife added a lovely touch of romance to our vacation. The fully equipped kitchen was also a pleasure to use on the nights we chose to stay in and cook, making our dining experiences versatile and enjoyable.
Additionally, the park across the street was perfect for playing with the kids and letting them run around to their hearts' content. This spot truly felt like a home away from home, offering both fun-filled activities and the chance to relax and unwind.
For families looking for a memorable and enjoyable getaway, this place has it all. We couldn't have asked for a better week and highly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay here. Thank you for such a great vacation experience!

Positives:
In a central location next to beaches, grocery store, snorkel rental, and many restaurants. Communication with property manager is prompt. Bathroom, kitchen, and flooring is updated. Condo has all amenities including life jackets, beach chairs, and washer / dryer. AC units make it nice and cool.
Negatives:
Not nicest part of Maui. Condo building is a little dated. Windows are the type where outside noise is pretty loud. Certain things in the condo make it seem “drab” a little paint needed around windows, handwritten notes taped everywhere, cordless phone on the entertainment center, etc.
Overall, very good value for the price. I would consider staying here again.

The room was overall in great shape and clean. The host provided additional items such as beach towels and chairs. Although there’s no kitchen, the host has a microwave and refrigerator. The room was honestly a perfect fit for what we were looking for. The location is absolutely ideal and within walking distance to so many fun places to check out. The little touches the host has throughout the room was very much appreciated.

My wife and I stayed for 7 days in this unit. Location was awesome. So convenient as there are many amenities within a short walking distance. The huge food truck area and gathering place was almost literally right behind and beside the complex which was a very nice surprise. Parking was easy. Two elevators near the entrance. The unit was close to the elevators. The unit is on the top floor which did provide an amazing view especially the sunsets. Breakfast every morning on the lanai was awesome. The a/c is split between the living room and bedroom which worked amazing in cooling and/or keeping the unit cool. However, with the lanai doors and entrance door open (leaving screen door closed) there was a significant breeze that swept through the unit which kept it cool enough most times that the a/c was not needed. Virtually no noise from street below. Very quiet at night even with the doors open. Bed was perfect. Not too soft. As for the unit accompaniments, this is hands down the most well stocked condo we have ever stayed in anywhere! This place has absolutely everything you can think of that you may use during your stay in Maui. The kitchen is the best stocked we have ever seen and very nice. I would suggest a coffee press. There is every beach item you will ever need. Chairs, umbrella, all water activity items included. Oh, and we did not see 1 bug. Not only would I recommend this unit, we will be looking forward to returning to Steve and Vicki's awesome condo in paradise.

We love this condo so much that we came back to stay here again. We enjoyed the wonderful beach view from the lanai and appreciated supplies and pantry were well stocked. The cleaning crew did an amazing job and it was clean and organized when we arrived. The location is perfect as Island Surf is located at the heart of Kihei and only a close walk to meals and groceries!

This condo was perfect! We loved the spacious interior, the amazingly comfy bed and best of all the huge balcony with views of Kalama Park and the ocean. The lace was fully stocked with beach amenities and we really appreciated the thoughtful welcome gift of snacks and necklaces. The property is close to everything (restaurants, shopping, etc) but the best part is that I was close to the food truck gardens which was the coolest experience. Book this place, you won’t regret it!

We enjoyed our time in Kihei and this apartment had a great location.
The good: location, lots of food choices around the apartment, surf shops, nice kitchen to cook meals, nice bathrooms, many beaches within walking and short driving distance
Important items to know: the furniture and bedrooms are a little outdated and quirky. The beds were extremely hard.
Overall we had a good stay, 4.3 stars!

The property is close to everything. Many restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops, beach, surfing location, sports fields, everything, convenience is the key word.
Quite often there is live music and events in the Maui Gardens behind the condo, which is great for activities and fun but its ends early enough to not be disruptive.
Front balcony is positioned overlooking the ocean with a great view but the downside is it’s also on a busy street so it can be noisy if sitting out for a coffee or view of the ocean. Location and view trump the noise though.
The hosts are great and very receptive. The place is well set up with everything you’d need. We’d definitely stay again!

Selfishly I want this place to stay a hidden gem but because Matt and Colleen were such fantastic hosts and we absolutely loved their space, I’m leaving this review for future guests.
The condo exceeded our expectations. Everything from the location to the space itself, we found ourselves wanting to spend time just relaxing on the lanai, watching the sunrises and sunsets, and not to mention seeing so many whales. Although we had a rental car, it was a nice option having beaches and food nearby that we could walk to every day. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this place. If you’re considering staying here don’t hesitate, book now.

This condo had everything we needed for comfort, cooking, relaxing. The lanai looks out toward Kalama Park & Cove Beach, & we enjoyed dining, relaxing, watching whales, and people watching. Restaurants, South Maui Gardens with live music & food trucks, Foodland (with discount card on condo keyring), ABC store, etc. were all a short walk away.
Mike (owner) was very responsive if we had any questions. Overall, great experience!
