Great property and great location to enjoy everything Maui has to offer. We had a great trip and hope to be back soon! Thanks.

Beautiful condo with views for days! A little smaller than expected due to mirrors on a wall, but beautifully done and prime location for beach walks and Kihei dining. AC in bedroom is a bit noisy with the whirring sound, lights are a bit bright in the bedroom, but nice all around. Will def be back again soon!

This location was great - not too far to all the things we wanted to do. We also enjoyed the sunset every night and whale watching (it was December!) from the lawn. The snorkeling right off the beach was awesome- even saw some turtles. Thank you!

Loved Kihei Surfside. Our unit and the property in general were great. The location can't be beat if you like being in the ocean. Unit had a comfortable bed, a nice living and dining area, and a well stocked kitchen. The outdoor patio was where we spent most of our time in the unit. Great ocean view and big enough to use for dining. The unit had some games and equipment and the property managers also supplied beach chairs. Employees were all nice and friendly. This unit was right by the elevator which made it great for bringing stuff up and down. I didn't notice extra noise because of this location. From the property, you can walk south to a beach that is over a mile long. Just to the north is the boat ramp that many companies use for trips or on the water. You do need to drive to most restaurants. Great vacation stay. Can't think of any negatives and would stay again.

I stayed there the 1st time in 1977. Property has improved a lot since then. The grass in now like a golf course. Units are updated, and just to the south, the beach we walked for 2-1/2 miles down to the 4 Seasons for lunch a couple times. The best spot in Maui in my opinion.

December 2023

We planned a last minute trip to Maui and searched the website until we found this unit which appears to put a ✔️next to all our items on our wish list. Every time I reached out to the property manager Larry, he was very prompt in getting back with me. The check in and check out directions were explained perfectly! Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a very enjoyable experience 🤩

This property was incredible. The view is unmatched. We especially loved that the bedroom had a view as well and that we could hear the sound of the waves going to bed every night. The kitchen was stocked like a full time kitchen too! The property management were extremely helpful and available. We highly recommend this property as it exceeded our expectations and we had zero issues.

Very nice condo. No a/c which is not a problem, but if you keep bedroom window open, you will hear people outside.

We loved our stay. Waking up every morning for coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean, the grassy lawn, and pool was gorgeous. At night, the bbq area was alive with people and there were always a few conches being blown together at sunset. Highly recommend this location

We have been coming to Kihei Surfside for many years and unfortunately our go to was booked. But Larry's apartment was the perfect substitution for our regular accomodations. The kitchen was fully stocked with gear to make family dinners, comfy beds, and even in suite laundry. The communication was fast and reliable. We must say, the morning birds were loud and the occasional Axis deer calls were funny, but we would definitely stay there again.

This is a wonderful unit in a small complex. The unit was small, as advertised - but was well stocked and very clean. The property was maintained very well. This unit was so close to one of the best beaches in Maui. We hope to stay again!

We stayed at this property previously and really like its location, being right on the ocean and just a short walk to Keawakapu beach, one of our favorite beaches on Maui. We loved the large windows on this end unit with both a great ocean view and also one of Mt Haleakala. The unit was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to reserve it again.

Wonderful location, walking distance to pristine beaches. Unit itself could stand some updating and glass cleaning on the lanai but overall would stay again for the location.

This was our third time staying in the unit. We have stayed at Surfside six times. We love the location, vibe and views! This unit is one of the best in terms of updates and views. I think the new AC will be an added bonus. I also think they could update some bedding, new pillows etc. Otherwise, the unit is equipped with everything you need at a high quality. Our dishwasher broke but Edwin was quick to respond. We will be back and highly recommend this unit!

This is my second time staying at Surfside, and I just can't imagine why I'd stay anywhere else. The location is perfect: quick drive to Wailea and Kihei, beach access, great snorkeling, lovely pool, I could go on... The condo was perfect for two of us and has a beautiful view. Lukas was wonderfully communicative and attentive. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer! We'll definitely be back.

Edwin's oceanfront property was beautiful in location and and outstanding in appearance, cleanliness, and organization. The property was fully stocked with all essentials in the kitchen, living area, the grounds and beach. The view from the lanai every morning was a pleasure to wake up to and set the tone for a wonderful day. We are very thankful to have stayed here.

Given the opportunity, we would absolutely stay at Kihei Surfside again. Outstanding view, especially at sunset when locals and their dogs and tourists gather at the adjacent town park to give thanks for another lovely day. The apartment was well outfitted and near the beaches and shopping...we hated having to leave.

This property was located on the ocean with every unit having an awesome ocean veiw. The grass area adjacent to the building was beautifully manicure. The pool was an awesome addition!

The stunning view from the balcony cannot be beat, and watching the sunset every evening from the balcony was one of the highlights of our trip. The location was perfect for us to do all of our excursions on Maui and there are plenty of restaurants in the area and a Safeway nearby. We loved having a full kitchen to be able to eat a few meals in and make coffee in the mornings. The furniture and carpeting is a bit dated, but we felt the unit was fairly priced given all the other amenities. We booked very last minute and were grateful it was available.

The condo was great. The pictures of the place were exactly as we found. Very much impressed and the view was spectacular. Our first time staying on this side of the island, and we were not disappointed. We would definitely consider staying here again!
