We had a lovely 4-day stay. Great condo, great location. quiet community, walking distance to beach

Great location, updated pool and unit. The grounds were exactly what we were looking for so our kids could explore and we could watch the sunsets or sip our coffee. The owners were quick with communication and the on site Mgr was helpful. Only small thing would be to have some spare beach towels and umbrella for guests.

We’ve stayed at Kihei Surfside many times. It’s our second home. Loved the service from Ali rentals, from booking and car rental. Will be back and use your services again. Mahalo

A wonderful unit and perfect location for my spouse and I to stay during our week visit to Maui. Easy walk to the beach and local markets. Check in and out process was super easy. Plenty of towels for the bath and beach plus coolers to use as needed! Would definitely stay here again in the future :)

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The condo had everything we needed and was perfect. The bed is very comfortable which is not always the case with rental properties. We LOVED the location. The community feel at the complex is fantastic, everyone seemed happy and relaxed, it is quiet, away from the restaurant area which we prefer, and the view is very nice. The beach is on the back side of the building and is a quick walk there. We also liked the fact that the condo complex is near the boat launch area so we could walk there for our early morning snorkeling tour of the Molokini Crater. It is a great location to sit and watch the sunset, the turtles swimming in the water, read a book, or watch the colorful birds. Being on the top floor is a bonus. We would definitely stay there again if we ever return to Maui. Thank you for sharing the condo with us!

This top floor condo has great views and can hear the waves from the beach. It is nicely located to snorkel beaches around Wailea and Makena. We recommend Ulua beach for easy beach access and the rocks on right side have good variety of fish and some corals. Plus we took a boat trip to Molokini which was fantastic and highly recommend. The condo is in a quiet area just a couple of miles from downtown Kihei. The rocky shoreline here is a favorite spot for watching turtles feeding in the surf on the shore. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked every day. There is a BBQ down by the pool. The pool wasn't anything fancy but it's never crowded and it felt great for a daily swim and laying out in the sun. There are lounge chairs around the pool and in the lawn area for use. The onsite property manager and workers were out every day cleaning the BBQ, pool area, and general ground area so it was a very nice place to stay. We would definitely go back to this unit. The host was easy to contact and provided all the information we needed during our stay.Aloha

Went to Maui for an extra long birthday weekend. Everything was superb! The beach south of the condo is great for swimming, snorkeling, and walking. We saw a couple turtles snorkeling. The condos next door rent kayaks and paddle boards. The boat ramp to the north had daily snorkeling & dive trips. Ideal location actually.

Location of this condo in Kihei is perfect! Breathtaking views of the ocean and close to attractions, restaurants, and shopping. You truly feel like you are in paradise. We actually planned our activities every day to make sure we didn't miss the beautiful sunsets! Keawakapu beach borders the property and is perfect for swimming and snorkeling for all ages. The owners, Bob and Sarah, are outstanding and provides a lot of useful information to make your stay perfect. The condo is equipped with more amenities than we expected. You have everything you need for the beach and to cook a gourmet meal. The property does have some age and we appreciated the many upgrades..bathroom, kitchen, and A/C. The bed was comfy and the area is quiet. Also has ample free parking. The office staff was very friendly and provided additional beach chairs, putters, bocce balls and more to enjoy on the well maintained grassy area.I highly recommend staying at Kihei Surfside for your paradise vacation.

Amazing location with beautiful views off the back deck. Pool access and beach within walking distance. Additional 5-10 min drive takes you to more beaches, shops and restaurants on the main strip. Bed and sofa bed were uncomfortable and unit a bit worn but overall a really good stay.

My husband and I couldn't have been happier with our condo ! The views were spectacular, it had a laid back atmosphere. It was centrally located for everything we wanted to do. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. This was our first trip to Hawaii, but hopefully, not our last.

This unit was great, but we wish that A/C was included.It was hot inside. Outdoor temperature was 88 deg. and inside was up to 80 deg with fans working. And there was no closet for dresses. But everything else was very good

We booked this condo with the anticipation we’d be using this as a home base after activities and excursions around Wailea We ended up spending much more time laying on the green lawn, playing cards on the patio, and watching the sea turtles on the beach boarding the property. Could not have asked for better accommodations and host! Steve and Connie were extremely communicative and accommodating when our travel plans changed. We will be coming back!

Overall it was great, the apartment had everything we needed, the bed was good. All in all a great experience.The sofa is becoming a bit too slumpy, my wife and I both agreed that you fall too much down in. But that is a minor thing :-)

My husband and I spent 12 days at this condo and absolutely LOVED IT. The location is perfect (Kihei, in general, but this specific location was perfect for our vibe). It's easy to get everywhere on the island, and while the town of Kihei is right up the road, this condo unit was quiet, yet active and has a beautiful park adjacent to the building. Every evening at sunset the park came alive with neighbors and vacationers to watch the gorgeous sunset. We saw whales every single day from the lanai (we were there the very end of March), and we saw sea turtles and enjoyed watching the daily activities from the boat ramp. There are 2 beautiful beaches within steps of the condo, among the many gorgeous beaches on the island.While the unit could use a few upgrades, the bed itself was comfortable, the AC was very nice to have, and it had all the basics for an extended stay.Thank for your sharing your beautiful property with us - we FULLY intend to come again! 5/5 Stars.

The property was beautiful, located right next to a beautiful beach and a quick car ride or medium walk to restaurants. The views are amazing, and the unit was as expected for a one bedroom condo. Suggest improving the outdoor patio furniture at the unit to something more comfortable to enjoy the amazing views in comfort.

We stayed at this condo 10 years ago in a different unit. This unit was nice and appeared as the listing describes. The property has been upgraded and updated. Our kids loved playing on the lawn every night and made friends with many other kids. I appreciated the hooks and vertical storage options as there wasnt a lot of storage for a family of 4. My only issue was no kitchen towels...we used a bathroom towel. We cooked at the uni and it was adequately supplied with the basics. We grilled several times and never had to wait. We used the laundry room on site and it was easy and not busy.

Well equipped kitchen, great view on the ocean, very friendly check-in, very close to sand beach which was ideal for little kidsAt the bottom line: really great experience, would highly recommend

We loved staying here. Keawakapu beach is just around the corner to the south, and there is a nice walking path to the north to a boat ramp and other beaches (and sometimes sleeping sea turtles if you’re lucky!). Gorgeous sunsets from the huge grassy park area.The unit was very nicely equipped and the beds were surprisingly comfortable! Beach chairs and sand toys from the front desk were a nice surprise and very handy. We would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our unit, especially the location. The lawn and ocean were virtually our lanai. The perfect spot for exploring miles of beaches north and south and watching incredible sunsets every night.ALOHA

This place was perfect and so was the location. We were able to walk to shopping, swimming, snorkeling and dining locations daily. The property was so well maintained. Loved sitting on the lanai every morning drinking my coffee. The condo was also very well stocked. Used the beach chairs and beach towels to enjoy the beach just steps away. I highly recommend this condo if you are looking to stay in Kihei.

We arrived in the evening and had no problem getting in with the door code emailed to us. The unit was spotlessly clean and had A/c units in both the bedroom and the living area. It has obviously been updated with granite countertops and nice tile floors.We were glad to see that there was salt/pepper as well as a little olive oil and plastic wrap to get us started.The location can’t be beat in in a quite south Keihi. Neighborhood. It has a FANTASTIC VIEW!! The only downside was that it had a small living space with too much furniture in it. It was missing a cutting board in the kitchen. A great place for only two people.
