Kihei Surfside

Kihei Surfside is an older oceanfront complex at the quiet south end of Kihei, where a big lawn fills with neighbors at sunset and Keawakapu Beach is a couple of minutes' walk. It suits couples and repeat visitors who want views, snorkeling and turtles over resort extras.

What guests say

1 in 8 reviews mention sunsets

Guests love

  • Sunset on the big lawn. A manicured oceanfront lawn with lounge chairs becomes a nightly gathering spot, as residents, guests, families and dogs come out to watch the sun go down.
  • Keawakapu Beach next door. A sandy, uncrowded beach sits just south, and guests walk it for miles toward the Wailea Beach Path for morning strolls and runs.
  • Turtles off the rocky shore. Guests snorkel the reef right off the complex and spot turtles resting in a small cove by the boat ramp, which is also handy for tour pickups.
  • Winter whales from the lanai. In whale season many guests watch spouts and breaches from their own lanai, and a few say binoculars made it their evening routine.

Worth knowing

  • AC depends on the unit. Some units have mini-split AC and others rely on fans and trade winds; several guests in no-AC units found summer afternoons and nights too warm.
  • Rocky shore, windy afternoons. There is no sand right in front of the complex, and guests say mornings are best for snorkeling before the afternoon wind picks up.
  • An older, low-key building. Guests describe an older complex that is well kept rather than fancy; a few mention a slow elevator and a small pool with no shade.
  • Many units sized for two. A number of the one-bedrooms feel snug, and guests often call them right for a couple; families tend to pick the two-bedroom units.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units open straight onto the lawn, which guests love for easy beach and pool access, though one notes some lawn noise at busy times, while top-floor units get praise for wide views and quiet. Units on the mauka end trade a bit of ocean view and some road noise on the balcony for mountain views and more space.

Husband and I had a wonderful 10 days. The unit was so comfortable and had everything we needed.Drawbacks- although we loved the trade winds there were a couple days we really needed air conditioning. I would totally stay in this unit again. Host was very responsive when we had a small problem.

★★★★★ July 2026

The location is superb! Very accessible to all the great dining, shops and beaches in Kihei and Wailea. The balcony offers an amazing view of sunset and the furry babies walking around the greens. The place is well kept, clean and offers the basic amenities you need for a short stay. The host is very hospitable, checks in for updates and responds quickly to any questions. Happy with this stay!

I somehow missed that this place does not have AC. The resort is a great location but not fun staying in July with no AC. The listing claims to be recently remodeled but it doesn’t seem like it. Biggest complain is how hot it got, our baby monitor temperature sensor was reading 80 degrees at midnight. The fans were not powerful enough to make it comfortable. This place definitely needs an upgrade with AC. Other units in the resort have AC, but this one does not.

We loved staying in this condo. The unit was clean, cozy and well maintained. The grounds are immaculate, family friendly, and encourage you to spend time outdoors. Thank you for ensuring that our vacation felt like a home away from home.

The only high-rise on Keawakapu, with a warm oceanfront pool, a lawn of loungers, a deli and a rental desk for snorkel gear and kayaks. The ocean end has the best views; many two-bedrooms use a sliding divider rather than a separate bedroom.
