This unit met and even exceeded my expectations. By far the cleanest, and most beautifully decorated Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in, and the first I’d 100% stay in again. Communication prior to, during, and after stay was excellent, condo was stocked and appointed exactly as listed. Heartfelt thanks for a wonderful stay and making our trip to Maui nothing but a pleasure!

Access to unit is good however info given by Maui condo for wifi access is totally incorrect. After hours contact (Daniel) was able to send tech support same evening. Bathroom fixtures handles about to fall off. Only 1 beach towel provided. Some dishes had food residue everything had to be cleaned.
Follow up with property manager after confusion with wifi access and supplies if sufficient would have been nice.

Perfect location! Comfortable bed, nice to have the AC in the bedroom. Bathroom could use a little maintenance… sink tap needs re-caulked behind it. Well-equipped kitchen, Overall fantastic stay!

Experience the ultimate view! We enjoyed the expansive lawn, heated pool, bbqs and bird feeding station. We saw many whales, including a double breech by a mama and baby.
The condo was fully equipped. Plenty of towels and bedding. Friendly staff provided beach chairs and sand toys.
Sunset was spectacular! I took a photo from a different spot every night.

This property had an amazing view of the ocean and the sunsets at night were perfect. We would go down by the pool on the grass every evening and watch the sunset. It was the most perfect spot to be. The deck was really great too. We sat out there quite a bit in the mornings drinking coffee. Also, great walking distance to a really nice beach next door. It was quiet at night too which was really nice. We were able to have the windows open pretty much the whole time.
The property was well stocked and had everything we could need. There was a small ant problem though, so make sure you keep all your food off the counters. The WiFi was kind of slow as well. Overall it was a great place though. I would definitely go back.

Thank you for letting us stay in your vacation home. Beach access couldn’t be better. The pool was so clean and refreshing. And the kids loved playing bocce ball on the beautiful lawn. Views from the lanai were absolutely amazing, we watched whales and humpback whales during the day and beautiful sunsets each evening.

The Surf Side is a great location. This two bedroom condo was very well stocked and very comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and responded to our inquiries right away. We highly recommend this property! Great spot to view sunsets as well and close proximity to amenities.

We booked this unit because 3 days before our trip our original rental fell through. I searched through VRBO for an hour and a half to find a rental comparable to the original ground floor ocean view we booked. This unit was a pretty close to a perfect fit, it was on the second floor but turned out to be really fantastic.
The condo was spotless and the staff were so kind and helpful. They even checked in on us the next day to make sure we were comfortable. It had everything we needed and we had a great first time stay in Kihei.
We visited during prime whale watching season so from our lanai and the park area we were able to chill and look for whales (take your binoculars). We saw SO many!
If you want to get out to see the whales there are a few whale watching charters that go out of Kihei boat launch which is just a short walk. And on your way over you’ll find the tiny beach between the condo and the launch. Check that beach 4-5pm and you might find some honu resting (we did).
If you are looking for the beach you can walk or drive to one of the many beaches nearby. The area around the condo is rocky but during low tide you can walk around to look for tide pool animals.
Oh and don’t forget the SUNSETS, every day we got a beautiful sunset.
The only issue we had was the screens to the lanai, they kept coming off the track, but we reported that to the team.
MAHALO to the Ali’i Resorts team!

We have recently returned from a great vacation at Kihei Surfside. This building is in a great location with a fantastic view. There is easy access to the beach and there is a large well maintained grassy area which allows for a wide variety of activities. The unit we stayed in was lovely. Decorated in light colors, it is light and airy. It was clean, and comfortable. The unit is obviously well maintained and updated with the recent addition of air conditioning. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property. Close enough to downtown Kihea to walk but yet far enough away for a quieter atmosphere. Primo spot on first floor.

This property couldn’t have a better location. Close to Kihea and Wailea. The grass park in front of the condo offered breath taking views all day but sunset was especially special. The condo was well kept and provided all we needed. We loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay! There was a beautiful welcome basket that helped set the tone for our vacation. We loved the location right on the ocean with beautiful views of the sunset and migrating whales. We loved that we could walk to so many places for a bite to eat. Several of the beaches are walking distance as well. The condo was very clean and just as advertised. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

We have stayed in Kihei several times but this was by far our favorite place to stay. The condo was small but very nice. The patio doors open to a magnificent view of the lawn, pool, and ocean. There are birds singing all around and in the morning we were welcomed by roosters and chickens with chics. There is a great walking trail that leads to turtles resting in the sand just a couple minutes away. The beach is fantastic, my husband loves the pool and you could see lots of whales spouting from there. Elizabeth, our host was easy to get in touch with and very helpful and friendly. Mahalo!

We enjoyed our stay in Maui and the property was amazing! The views were incredible. Watching the whales and sunset were my favorite part about this property. Being able to walk out of the condo and be on the ocean . A different speed of living here and the peace and respect for the land .

Have stayed in this building several times. We love the views off of the deck. Sit, sip and watch the whales. There is a huge grass area out front and locals come and set up their chairs for sunset. Birds in the trees next to the building include lovebirds and parrots. This unit is not as well updated as others have been. Would stay again.

Great place for a couple with arguably one of the best ocean (and whale watching in season) views in the Kihei area. Grounds immaculately maintained and unit well equipped with everything you'd need. Minor quibbles:
-Desperately needs new pillows for bed
-Perhaps more ergonomic balcony chairs for longer viewing sessions
-couldn't find kettle

We have stayed at Kihei Surfside many times and it is always very enjoyable. This condo is on the 6th floor, with a sweeping view, quiet (except for the sea), perfect comfort, clean and well equipped. People we've met were always friendly and helpful. There is a community spirit here which is lacking at typical resorts.

Your place was wonderful. The location was great and allowed for perfect sunset views. Walking distance to the Kihei boat launch for tours and access to the walking trail along the coast down to the park. Many mornings were spent just watching the whales from the balcony. We greatly enjoyed how well stocked the unit was and being able to use the building laundry. Thank you for the welcome bag; it added a special touch. It was a wonderful 1st trip to Maui and we hope to return again. Mahalo.

Under 30 min from airport.
Very, very clean!
Ample beautiful dishes, cups, mugs, pans, pots etc. ( loved the glass smoothie cups with glass staws)
Glass containers for leftovers. Casserole dishes (vintage-loved!), large bowls for mixing or popcorn.
Vitamix
Coffee filters
Pull out hide a bed was comfy.
Tons of extra pillows, linens/blankets.
Closer to the beach side of the condo and ten steps from pool -perfect.
To the right is a trail along the ocean that takes you through the sea bird nesting grounds, straight to the public beach/tourist area ( 15 min walk)
We loved exploring on the lava rocks and tide pools right in front.
I would consider this place as "on the beach"
Bathroom shower- amazing.
Laundry room near
No parking issues
Note pads, games, guest book with tips.
Little convenience store in the Mana Kai hotel next door ( 1 min walk) for snacks, sun lotion, food esentials etc. They carry 808 deli sandwiches.
Foodland is about a 5 min drive
Checkout requires you run the dishwasher, put all bedding on bed and toss towels in shower.
Elizabeth obviously has outstanding style. High quality everything.
This was perfect for our family ( kids 9 and 5)I researched for weeks before booking. The pictures on vrbo do not do it justice. Our 9 year old has social anxiety and ADHD, our 5yr old has sensory issues. We appreciated being able to scoot back from the beach to the condo quickly if the need be. You can be as social or non social on the lawn as you want.

The Condo building is on the best stretch of coast in Maui. The units all face the water and an expansive lawn. A very nice beach, Keawakapu, is just steps away.
We've stayed at this condo building 3x over 30 years. Never disappointed.

A great vacation (escaping -45 in Alberta). Perfect location, right one of the best beaches in Maui. Ocean facing. Friendly folks at the BBQ for sunsets. Our unit was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was very well equipped. The host was outstanding in his communication with us before, during and after the stay. I would definitely book the Surfside, and in particular with Bob, again.
