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.

This sunset view condo in the middle of Kihei was the best spot to stay on Maui for us, walking distance to all the food you could want, well kept and well stocked. 10/10 would stay again.

It is a beautiful property right on the ocean front. We would just sit on the balcony and enjoy the ocean and do nothing. And just couple minutes walk to everything.... restaurants, grocery, coffee shop.... And a well stocked unit. All attention is given to ensure we have everything we need including beach towels.

This property was perfect for us! You can walk to everything! The South Maui Luau is directly behind the property with tons of food trucks. The Kihei Caffe is right next door as is the Paia Fish market (so ono!). Plenty of space for us and a balcony overlooking the water

My husband and I stayed here for a month, over Christmas and New Years. We would come back again and stay at Steve and Vicki's place for sure!The location is so excellent, walking distance to beaches, restaurants and shops. A bonus is the South Maui Gardens is right behind the condo, so convenient. The building has a great Sushi restaurant and a massage salon on the first floor. You are also less than 2 blocks from the Foodland for groceries. If you stay further down Kihei road (north) you will be far away from the heart of Kihei and there are no sidewalks near the end of the road, not safe for walking, especially at night. This area is a busy location, however, Steve put in heavy duty sliding balcony doors, you do not hear noise from the busy Kihei road (unless your doors are open). Other condos do not have that, my sister stayed on a 5th floor VRBO and she was impressed by the difference it made!The condo is stocked with anything you could think of and more. Great furniture that's actually comfortable (living room and bedroom). Great beach chairs with umbrella.Steve and Vicki are also very attentive and answer quickly if you need anything. Highly recommend this condo, you won't be disappointed, only when you have to leave!

The condo is as advertised/portrayed in pictures. Very nice; the location had pluses and minuses. Nice to be within walking distance to grocery store, coffee shops and restaurants. The gardens next door was our favorite and very lovely! Nice to have a Walking path along the beach across from condo. Negative was traffic and traffic noiseVery busy street! A little difficulty getting responses to our inquiries. walking

Great location and fine property to sit back relax and just take a break from the world. So many things with-in walking distance for all hours of the day and night you almost don't need to leave the area, but please do, the whole island is great.

We've stayed at this condo building in the past but not this unit. This one is fabulous! Everything about this home away from home makes you feel comfortable and has whatever you will need. A bonus is the mattress is oh, so comfortable! The view is top notch, you can walk to great food and shopping. Or simply walk a few feet to the beach!

Friendly neighborhood with everything in walking distance. Love a daily trip to Foodland and South Maui Gardens food trucks. Nightly free background music from the gardens if the windows are open and majestic mountain and ocean views. Condo is well appointed with everything you might need and a huge variety of tv channels and books to enjoy. Washer and dryer and well stocked kitchen are a bonus. Thanks for a wonderful week!

The property is as advertized. It came for me at the time I needed the space and location for moving back to the islands. Being part of the solution, it did have small roaches coming up from bathroom vanity area. Otherwise timing for some true upgrades will always be worth the investment. Me ke Aloha nui a hui hou!

We had a wonderful time staying in Patty’s lovely 2 bed/2bath apartment in Kihei. The location was excellent as we were across from the beach. We loved watching all the activity from our balcony when we were there. The apartment is very close to some very good beaches, lots of souvenir shops, close to a local grocery store (Foodland) and across from a park where people are playing volleyball or, walking biking running. We could see surfers from the balcony as well.Kitchen is well set up for meal prep in the apartment. We were very happy with the accommodation! Would definitely stay again.

Although this visit was much shorter than our regular, we had a very nice stay in this unit. We could see in the presentation of the unit, the care and attention to detail that the hosts and cleaners put in and we very much appreciated it. I liked the details such as, shower caps & a lighted make up mirror(I would list that in amenities, I would have left mine home). Highly recommend this property and we would definitely book again. Small note, not a deal breaker, a starter amount of laundry soap or laundry pods would have been great but again, not an issue at all.

I’ve been to Maui five (5) times and this condo exceeded my expectations in terms of everything provided and more. So close to the food trucks, a walk from Foodland grocery store, and across from the beach. I’m looking forward to probably staying here again next time I’m in Maui. Mahalo.

The property was wonderful. The bedroom was comfortable, with plenty of extra bedding for my kids that really enjoyed the Murphy bed.

We had a great time at this condo with our 5 month old. The beach was super convenient and having beach toys, umbrella, and a pack and play made it so easy to stay here. The grocery store and a number of restaurants are also a very short walk away, so we barely needed to drive other than visiting the national park!

Very convenient location with spectacular ocean/sunset views from a dual lanai. I could elaborate more, but fear if I say too much more, we won’t be able to find any vacancies in the future.

I could not have been happier with this property! Exactly as described. The views were stunning. Perfectly located- SO much within walking distance. Very comfortable- even with 80°+ days, never had to turn the air on thanks to the amazing cross breeze you get & all the ceiling fans. Bonus of falling asleep & waking up to the ocean waves crashing. Even with construction happening on the first level of the building- it was the perfect stay. I can't wait to go back!

We had an amazing stay. Place is very clean. Perfect view, ocean across the street. Rocky, but small place to swim on the right. Kitchen fully stocked. Beds comfortable. This place is not fancy but great price & like i said very clean. Everything you need for a great stay. Washer/dyer a big plus. Air conditioning in each room. Temperature was perfect inside. Communication with owner was so easy. She always responded & answered phone when i had questions. The only thing i would have liked was better beach chairs. One was broken, one kids chair and 2 heavy old beach chairs. They worked. But a couple of Costco chairs would be nice. And I’m sure owner would accommodate. She was lovely. ..I hope this review helps! Have a great stay. One thing i loved is one bathroom had 4 large towel racks for hanging bathing suits and towels. Seems like something little but helped more than you know! Have a great stay! T I perfect stay.

This condo was everything we expected, it was well equipped for the needs of our stay. The view of the ocean and park across the street was amazing from either lanai, especially the sunsets. Great location to beaches whether you walked to close by ones or drove to others, Makena Beach is awesome. The close proximity of South Maui Gardens, local restaurants and Foodland grocery was very convenient as well. Matt was an excellent host and kept in touch throughout our stay to make sure everything was all ok. We will definitely keep this unit in mind for future trips!

We had a fantastic time at our new favorite Maui condo. Steve is fantastic to work with. The community both in the condominium and the local area is very accepting of those of us visiting. Parking was easy and free. The beach, surfing, good eats, shopping are all just a 5 minute walk away.

Super nice condo with comfortable bed and fans that worked superbly. This location is across from Cove beach where you can sit on the balcony and watch the surfers, volleyball and most importantly, THE SUNSET!! Favorite area of Kihei. Definitely will not be disappointed with this condo!

This apartment has everything needed to have a wonderful time in Maui. It is very close to many beaches. It has restaurants nearby. And it has all of the cookware to be able to enjoy a sunset in. The hosts are great and the apartment was very clean.

I booked this place for 6 nights. I stayed alone. The property is located very centrally so I could walk to the nearby places easily. The host was responsive to all my queries, though they couldn't help me with the issue of noisy neighbours. The room shares a wall (that has a door) with the neighbours (which the listing doesnt mention) Sadly, I could hear every single thing they were saying and that made my stay uncomfortable. To be fair, the neighbours weren't exactly being noisy but the connecting door made it as if I was staying with them. Overall I would think before booking this particular place again solely due to this issue.

Wow. Matt and Colleen really knock it kit of the park. Parking was a breeze, then the lanais really bring a literal breeze into the unit! We only ran one of the 2 ac units briefly each night, letting the trade winds and ocean sounds lull us to sleep. Perfect views of the ocean, ample towels, easy check in/check out 10/10. The South Maui Gardens next door offer 10s of food trucks worth of dining options. And the location in Kihei is convenient to the airport / and both the east and west sides of the island. We hope to come back and visit again!!

The apartment was perfect for my husband and I! Great walking distance to the beach, shopping, restaurants. Groceries! We had never been to Maui before and had a hard time figuring out best location and we were pleasantly surprised with this place! When we come back we would try to Stay in the same place!

Very well appointed accommodation with beautiful expansive views of the ocean from two balconies. Convenient location to dining, shopping and pubs etc. host was in touch and very responsive. Have never had a rental in Maui that was as well stocked with kitchen and living items.

November 2024

Had to book this location for a last minute work project and we both were so glad this was available! The location right on the beach and next to multiple food options made the project time enjoyable and less stressful. Patty's response time was incredibly fast and the resource information she provided once the the booking was completing made the check-in and check-out process seemless. The provided ammenties in the condo were much more than expected and very much appreciated! The South Maui Garden nursey located directly behind the property is a must see! The food truck options are known to be the best on the Island and after trying all of them while staying there, it was agreed that you must check this garden area out! Being able to watch sea turtles eat along the shoreline in the morning hours was a great experience and made for really good pictures. Overall, this is a prime location in Kihei that I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a central location when visiting. Don't hesitate to reach out and make contact with Patty, she will make sure your taken care of! :)

My wife and I have been traveling to Maui for the last decade. We have stayed all over the Island but fell in love with Kihei on our previous trip in 2022. So when we found this listing, we were stoked. It was considerably (40% less) more affordable in 2024 than the place we stayed last time, and the location was very similar to Island Surf. So, going into our stay here, we were pumped. After our stay, here is our honest assessment: This unit is in a great location. You can walk/bike to a ton of great things. The tradeoff is that it is across the street from a (beautiful) park with quite a few (15-20) vagabonds. The vagabonds are pleasant and not harmful, but they sometimes ruin the vibe of seeing a guy sleeping on the bench in front of the building. The park also gets loud early in the morning when maintenance workers are cleaning. The unit has a great oceanfront view, and the tradeoff is that it faces not only the sea but also S. Kihei Rd, which is busy until very late. So you may give up some sleep for the view. The apartment itself is spotless, well-maintained, and clean. However, some of the fixtures and appliances are dated. The grill was not working, and the pool was clean, but the grounds were disrepair. The check-in process is excellent, and the management company is helpful. Overall, this is a good value for what you pay. If you are looking for something in a great location, with a view and for a great price you should stay here, just don't expect more.
