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!

Absolutely loved this location! The host is so kind, accommodating and communicative. The details in room such as beach towels, coffee, and boogie boards were such a great touch. Made it so hard to leave!

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.

This condo was all brand new in the heart of Kihei. Darcy was awesome to work with. Use of their coolers, beach towels, chairs, & boogie boards were invaluable. Super nice, super convenient. Would love to stay again!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this property. The location was perfect for walking to shops, restaurants, the gardens with the food trucks, and the lovely park across the street. Ligia’s suggestions for activities and instructions to get to and access the room were perfect. We appreciated the nice thoughtful touches and amenities provided.

There were lots of pros staying at this location. The condo was well stocked with kitchen and laundry supplies. Beach chairs and snorkeling equipment were also provided. The condo was clean and had a nice view of the neighboring park and ocean. A supermarket and eateries were also in easy walking distance. There usually was a nice ocean breeze, thus we did not turn on the room air conditioners that were available. The bed was a bit soft, but comfortable. In terms of personal preference, since we did have the windows open the whole time, there was the street noise from S. Kihei Road that wasn't terrible, but noticeable. If you want walking distance to sand, this location doesn't have that. We did reach out to the property management company regarding a non-functioning ice maker in the freezer. We did get a prompt call back and supposedly they checked to see if there was an issue. Other than turning off the ice maker, we did not get any feedback whether it was broken or if there wasn't a water line to the freezer. Not a showstopper, but it would have been nice to receive closure. In general, we really liked the condo itself and the amenities that were provided. No general complaints and would consider staying at this location again.

Though the building is slighty older the unit itself has been updated nicely. The unit was very clean and supplied with anything you might need . For two couples or a family having two bedrooms and two baths is a plus . Located by numerous food spots and beaches it was perfect , and the sunsets from the lanai every night were spectacular

Had a great stay at Patty’s place. Not only was the check-in super easy but the host sent us plenty of information so we could plan our days. There’s a grocery store within walking distance. There was also a surf shop and a small convenience store. The apartment had snorkeling gear which saved us the hassle of renting and allowed for a great experience seeing the corals and colorful fish. Walking distance to the beach where you can enjoy the waves and water but even better great sunsets. These can also be enjoyed from the balcony of the place! Everything was clean and the kitchen had a lot of cooking supplies. Great place to stay can’t recommend enough!

Norma’s place was located right across from Kalama Park and had wonderful views of the ocean. Only drawback to the location, for us ladies in the +60 range, was extremely loud Friday night music from S.Kihei Drive below us. It was only on the weekend so not everyone would be bothered. The place was clean and Norma was very clear and timely with instructions. We volunteered while there and highly recommend the experience of lending a hand with time and money in helping the people of Maui.

For a single person or couple, this condo is the best! Double Lanai with fabulous ocean views, several great places easily walkable, and once the traffic dies down, the waves will lull you to sleep. I definitely want to stay here again!!!

Our stay at island surf 502 was excellent. The view was beautiful and the condo was incredibly comfort le all around. The location gave us easy access to all activities around the island. It is within two short blocks of several excellent restaurants and a really fun food truck garden. Very minor inconveniences were that the bathroom could get very warm and the curtains in the bedroom did not do a great job blocking the light from the hallway and parking lot. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location, clean unit. Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Great views from balcony. Beach supplies was pretty good, except no umbrella, but you can rent them. Kitchen well equipped. Dishwasher down, Only realized that after we checked in, no one told us. Washer is very loud, but we were told that is normal because of set up. The master was disappointing. Murphy bed with mattress topper! NO. Rusty closet doors. No real door separation from the master to living room, just bifold doors with slats so you could not have much quiet if people were in living room. 2nd bedroom had the king bed but was so hot that the other couple slept in living room. Overall not a bad stay. Maui is beautiful and friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The little notebook to log guest names/where they are from was a nice, personal touch. This condo was very clean, including all appliances. The owners also included small things that we did not use, but very much appreciate the thoughtfulness of, including bug spray, sunscreen, snorkel gear, etc. We enjoyed many nights out on the lanai watching the beautiful sunsets and many mornings watching the surfers in the ocean. It is a bit of a drive from most things we chose to do.

We had the opportunity to stay in this property for about three weeks. The location is amazing, within walking distance to food, beach and shopping. It does get a little warm on hot days and if you need Internet to work then you may struggle a little. For the price and location it was exactly what we needed!

Vacation of a lifetime!!! The hosts thought of every detail to make our trip complete! Unit was perfect for 2 and very clean. The location was superb if you like to be busy and don’t mind traffic.

Alright y'all, this was really a perfect stay. You get free parking, two incredible ocean views, a stocked bathroom, all the beach supplies you need (chair/umbrella/etc). You can walk to the South Maui Gardens or numerous beaches or all the great Kihei restaurants/bars. We're glad we stayed here instead of Wailea, this is much closer to great spots and less isolated! Thank you for the wonderful stay. :)

We loved our stay at Doug and Pam's condo. They were very easy to communicate with and the booking was trouble free.My wife and I stayed at this condo for 3 weeks at the end of August. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Location is close to many restaurants and food trucks. The condo itself is spacious, nicely decorated and immaculate with a nicely stocked kitchen so we could cook some of the time. The bed was super comfy with great quality linen.The appliances are all top quality. Having a washer and dryer in the condo was very convenient for us since we were able to freshen up towels after a great day at the beach. AC was great to have and extremely quiet. Being centrally located it was nice to have the soundproof door to shut out the traffic noise. We really enjoyed staying on the top floor. Loved the view from our lanai, absolutely stunning sunsets. Was very pleased with the Weber grills and the newly renovated pool area. I highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Kihei. Thank you so much to Doug and Pam!

This is our third stay in Matt and Colleen’s condo and wouldn’t stay anywhere else on the island. Matt was in constant communication with us about the conditions on the island after the fires and very helpful in reassuring our decision to push forward with our trip. We are glad that we did as Maui is open and in need of people to return. If you are looking for a place to stay with the best location in Kihei, amazing views, clean and stocked condo and great owners then this is the place for you. The condo had everything we needed for our family (2 adults and 2 year old) and is close to everything. The South Maui Gardens is an awesome place so close to the condo. We hope to make this an annual trip again, and will be contacting Matt again about either this condo or their 2 bed condo in the same building. mahalo nui loa

My family had a great time staying at Marian's place. She was responsive to any questions we had. Close proximity to beach and shops and restaurants. A few items that can be improved is the air conditioner is quite loud and the cool air doesn’t reach the bedroom. Tiny bugs were on the counters and we started to plug the sink when not home and that seems to have reduced them. Im not sure if those bugs are a common thing in maui in general.

We had the most amazing week on Maui while staying at this cutie condo! Everything was clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen, extra beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, boogey board, coolers, ice packs all provided. Excellent view of the ocean from the lanai and the perfect place to people watch at the park below. The "Maui Revealed" (8th edition) book in the condo was SO helpful and made our trip (especially Road to Hana) even more incredible- highly recommend reading through that as you are planning your days! Easy walk to Foodland, many shops and coffee/restaurants. Definitely check out Maui Gardens right behind the condo...so many delicious food trucks (Sweet Hula = best acai/smoothies!). We encountered a lot of homeless people in the area/across the street at the park, but still felt safe to walk around and definitely safe up on the fifth floor. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your condo!!

If you dont have a car, this is a great location. Close to food, bars and beaches. Plenty of activities close by. It is a studio without a kitchen, but we planned on eating out most days anyways. They had boogie boards and beach gear at the studio. The owner communicated extremely well. I would highly recommend staying here.

Incredible. From the communication from Matt to the property, everything exceeded our expectations. We came soon after the tragic fires. Despite the negative publicity, Maui is open and the local economy wants people to come. They rely on it for their livelihood. Tip extra and be sensitive. Aloha!

My husband and I stayed here for our Maui honeymoon and we absolutely loved it. The free parking was convenient, the check-in process was super easy, and the condo was extremely clean and stocked with everything we could have needed and more. And best of all, it featured two balconies with the best views in all of Kihei. Matt was very helpful and responsive with any questions we had. We will definitely stay here next time we are back in Maui! Despite the Lahaina fires that devastated that area recently, Kihei and the surrounding areas are all functioning as normal and all the local shop owners were appreciative of our business during this difficult time. If you are planning a trip to Maui soon please don’t let the recent events deter you from visiting this beautiful island!

Here is an honest list of pro and cons and you can decide if it works for you. This is stuff I wish I knew. Pros: located across beach, nice view, near Foodland grocery ( 2 blocks)/ a food truck court/and some open air touristy shops, dedicated parking lot, can get cross breeze by opening front door and lanai doors, double long lanai (patio), TV in one BR and living room, building has a small pool Cons: has 2 window-AC units ( not central AC) which were pretty darn loud when on, never felt cool and comfortable— as soon as AC unit was off it felt hot again, dishwasher broken plus little maintenance items throughout unit, mid-level furnishings, couldn’t leave a speck of food out or many tiny ants would come out within 10 minutes and cover it, one bedroom does not have AC ( only ceiling fan), building has small pool but pool is not that great, lots of road noise Would we rent again here? I guess bottom line and ultimate decision maker for me is, the 4 of us couldn’t get a good night’s sleep here in a week’s time because we were all really, really hot at night and the AC unit was really loud if we used it. The place is a place to stay but didn’t feel like a vacation. I think I would spend the money on a resort next time and feel comfortable day and night and have a really nice pool to enjoy. This place would work for people who are used to island heat and humidity or are not sensitive to temperatures at night

Matt is super responsive and checked in on us through texts when weather issues popped up. Condo is in an excellent area away from a lot of the resorts and close to lots of beaches, restaurants, and shopping. Also well stocked, so less to pack! Washer and dryer means less clothes to pack, too. We watched most sunsets from the lanai or a quick walk across the street. So glad we found this place!
Dennis
August 2023

Pros: The unit was in good shape. Clean. Appliances worked well. Beautiful view from the balcony. Close to the beach, 2 minute walk. Manger was reponsive and kind the one time i needed to reach out. I dont think i can consider this a con because i think it depends on who you are and what you're looking for. The town that the condo is in isnt quite as nice as I expected. Its right next to a large park which is nice for kids, but there is a lot of homeless around. If you've ever been to san diego, think pacific beach or imperial beach. Again i dont think its fair to say its a negative because in my late 20s early 30s this would have been exactly the area I would have been looking for. Con: The only true con is the swamp coolers work great for the living room and main bedroom. But the back bedroom near the front door is unbearable to sleep in, at least in the summer when we were there. All in all we were very happy with our stay and have no big complaints. Would recommend for others to stay here.

The location was close to restaurants and retail. The apartment had a great view of a park and the ocean. The apartment was well-stocked with dishes, cutlery, beach towels, beach chairs, laundry detergent, and a lot of other small items to help with the stay. There was an area nearby with very highly-rated food trucks. The only negatives were that it had a coffee maker but no coffee stocked and the AC in the bedroom was a little loud. Overall, highly recommend!

I really enjoyed the location and the condo. This listing might be the BEST as it is advertised. Everything was available for me and my wife to celebrate our 10th year anniversary. The host communicated all the info that was needed and the supplies and information book that was available was GREAT!!! The condo was OUTSTANDING!!! We didn't want to leave and contacted the host ALREADY about coming back again...it was so good that we are trying to make this an annual trip to Maui!!! Great Host, Great Condo and Great location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have a very good experience with the unit. 1. the ocean view from the balcony of the apartment is amazing, better than the picture shown, you have much wider and higher view than the picture.2. the apartment is clean, and you can find everything you need for kitchen, bathroom, laundry and the beach chairs are available there as well.3. Kihei cafe is just a couple of steps away, and there is a big food truck park right behind the apartment that you can get all kind of good food there, expensive or cheaper food all are available. dining is very convenient there.4. the beach downstair next to Kama Park is the best beach for surf beginner. and there is a good surf school right cross street. so if kids want to learn surf, it is best place to stay. 5. Charley Young Beach just 5 min walk is good for kids to play as well. actually, I found waves in many other beaches including those famous beaches are kind of big, but Charley Young beach's wave is smaller. I just relax in the apartment and let my two teenage girls go to beach and play there somehow without worrying safety.

Property was as described in the listing and the communication was crystal clear from the jump. Good room and good manager

This property is the perfection location for a family to use as their base as they explore Maui. Located at the top of the condo building and at the end it's incredibly private and it's location ensures that the trade winds are blowing almost always circulating the air and keeping things cool. View from the balcony is right over the nearby cove. There are numerous beaches within about a 5-20min walk south of the condo. A couple of State beaches are about 15-20min by car. Multiple stores nearby for groceries and Target/Costco etc are about 20min away by car. I had a couple of questions the second day, Norma jumped right onto a phone call and we got the items sorted out. When our travel home was impacted by the Maui fires, Norma was very accommodating and allowed us to go back to the condo and get some sleep etc. Made a huge difference in the middle of a horrible situation.

It was a great place to stay the condo is very clean with a nice view and lots of space. The only problem we had was that the ac was on a timer so during the night we had to get up multiple time to start it again which was not great for our quality of sleep. Otherwise it was well situate i recommended it.

This trip was a much needed getaway. In tow were family who were first time visitors to Maui and it was fun showing them around. Our condo looked exactly as it was listed. I wanted to be in this location as it was central to everything/everywhere we wanted to be. We LOVE the kitchen and took advantage of cooking every chance we get. ** We could have used extra ice trays (there was only 1); soft sided coolers would have been handy (and lighter). It was great to have the rolling (igloo brand) but once filled, became too heavy and you could not roll it once you got to the beach. Our only other suggestions, is to upgrade the beach gear please. ** Low back beach chairs would have been nice. The chairs that are there, are already showing signs of wear & tear. A beach umbrella is a must..if there was one in the condo we could not find it beach toys.. I felt bad for my 7y/o who only had a shovel and 1 sand mold to play with. She could have more beach toy options. body boards.. My teenager would have enjoyed the beach more if he had a board that was "fitting" for his size (he is 5"6) ..the board in the condo was suitable for a much smaller child snorkeling gear.. We could have used face masks/goggles appropriate for the beach..we brought our own snorkel but had no mask to use with it Keep the matching striped towels for pool use. It would have been fun to have (non matching) beach towels so that we blend in with the locals ;-) Look no further, BOOK IT.. WE LOVE THIS CONDO!

For the most part unit was great, all things that you needed the unit had, including beach gear and a volleyball. There is a great convience store in the building in case you run out of anything. The downside of the unit, the shelving in the closet was very dusty so I only used the small treasures and hangered my shirts which was enough for me but may have not been if my wife was with me. Also the laundry machines were very old maybe 30 years old and they were small. But it did the job for just me and my son. For a family of 4 it would have required many loads and time to complete the family's laundry. Other than that the pictures of the view was accurate and it is a very convenient location for beginner surfers to learn how to surf, the beach and many surf schools are directly across the beach, I recommend Surf Club Maui.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kihei. The check-in process was seamless, the unit was clean, organized and well stocked with amenities to make our stay like it was our home away from home. It's conveniently located close to restaurants and grocery stores which was a big plus for us. Pam was very accommodating and we were very thankful for her assistance with an extended stay due to our last minute travel changes. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for making it a wonderful stay for us!

We all go for the sunsets, and I will tell you that the moonlight is just as enchanting. I got the most beautiful photos and slightly different each night. Loved it!

The room had a weird smell and the bed was not so comfortable. Other than that the place was very nice and accurate with description, it had everything you need for your stay (beach chairs, snorkeling gear, umbrella, etc...)

The place was fairly smaller than the pictures. It seemed like an old place, kinda dusty. Toiletries were not sufficient. The bed was too small and uncomfortable for two adults to sleep in. Overall, it was an average stay. I certainly had expected more.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Island Surf complex. The amenities were fantastic and it had everything we needed for the beach (coolers, beach towels). The AC was fully functioning. We had a minor issue with the water heater that was fixed very efficiently and was much appreciated. All in all we have no complaints and were very pleased with our stay.

Patty’s place was everything and more than what we expected. Clean, perfect size for our family of 5, very accessible to the restaurants, beaches and shops and easy access to the airport and all the places we went to. She had all the beach gears we needed, from chairs, umbrellas, coolers and towels. The sunsets from the balcony was a bit obstructed but got our full view a few steps down to the beach. Sunrises in the morning from the building hallway. Really did not go far to get those! We were very happy with our stay! We’ll be back for sure!

What I wrote in Patty's guest book: We had a delightful time at your condo: the view from the lanais; the wonderful human activity across the street at the park; the details in your condo that made us feel like we were staying with friends (vs corporate); your prompt attention to issues; great middle location on the island and close to the airport: all added up for a great stay! My (first) Maui experience will always include 501 Island Surf as part of that experience.

When we arrived to check-in, the condo was not ready.We understand that things sometimes happen so I reached out to the owner to let her know. She was quick to reach the cleaners and got it taken care of while we had dinner!

Great quiet location. Close access to the beach. Well stocked kitchen. Landlord response timely and informative. Enjoyed eating dinner on lanai. Lanai provided spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets. Surf rental equipment/lessons in same building. Close proximity to eating and shopping establishments. Ceiling fans circulated air coming through windows for sleep in comfortable beds. Washer and dryer great asset. Free parking in back of building was great! Granddaughters enjoyed pool located on 2nd floor of building. Barbecue on pool deck came in handy for grilling steaks. Overall wonderful experience. Enjoyed our visit to Maui 5/13-20/23. DAT

Overall really good experience. We wanted to explore the whole island and this place was located at a very convenient place to drive to wonderful places in Road to Hana. I appreciate how proactive Vacation-Maui was with us. Would definitely book with them next time we come to Maui! Thank you!

Nice view and perfect location for waterfront access and lots of food options within walking distance. Plus, Aunty Sue has equipped the space with all necessities for a fun day at the beach and basic household items as well. Highly recommend.
