Mahina Surf

A small, low-key complex on a rocky stretch of Honokowai shoreline, where guests spend mornings on the lanai watching whales and evenings checking on the turtles that haul out next door. It suits couples and families who want quiet and an ocean-side pool more than a swimming beach.

What guests say

1 in 3 reviews mention sea turtles

Guests love

  • Turtles on the beach next door. Green sea turtles bask daily on the little rocky beach beside the complex, and guests report counting dozens at once.
  • Heated pool and ocean-side grills. The warm pool and the gas grills by the water are where guests swim, cook dinner and watch the sun go down.
  • Whale watching from the lanai. In season, many guests watch whales over breakfast from their lanai or from the pool deck.
  • Small, private and quiet. Guests describe a tucked-away complex with well-kept tropical grounds that feels private despite bigger neighbors on both sides.

Worth knowing

  • No AC, warm lofts in summer. Units rely on fans and trade winds; that works for most in winter, but upstairs lofts can stay hot on summer nights.
  • Rocky shore, not a swim beach. The waterfront is rocks and tide pools - good for turtles and crabs - so guests walk or drive to sandy beaches to swim.
  • Surf and street noise. A few light sleepers found the waves loud at night, and some rooms facing the parking lot and road pick up early traffic.
  • Shared laundry and stairs. Laundry is a shared on-site room paid by coin or app, and upper-floor units involve a fair number of stairs.
Choosing a unit: Upper-floor units are two-level with lofts that guests say run warm in summer and take more stairs, while ground-floor units are easier for strollers and quick trips to the pool.

★★★★★ July 2026

The views from Mahina Surf were even better than expected. We spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the gardens, pool, and ocean. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. We also appreciated the convenient location between Napili and Kaanapali.

A lovely little condo for two. The king bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the private lanai was our favorite spot. The oceanfront setting at Mahina Surf is beautiful, especially around sunset. We would happily stay here again.

We had a very relaxing stay at Mahina Surf. The property was peaceful and the oceanfront pool was wonderful. MSF-122 was comfortable and had a great layout for a couple. We also loved having easy access to the nearby beaches, restaurants, and shops.

Amazing stay at the Sea Turtle condo! I saw 17 turtles basking on the rock beach yesterday. The rental was equipped with everything we needed and the 5 of us were very comfortable. The laundry facility was easy to use. The pool was clean and very well maintained. The location on West Maui was perfect for us as we like low-key, private spaces. Morning coffee on the condo’s lanai was my favorite spot. Hope to see you next year!

This condo was perfect for our Maui trip. We loved waking up to the garden views and spending our evenings on the lanai. The property is beautifully maintained and the oceanfront location is hard to beat. Everything we needed was within a short drive.

Definitely the most beautiful place I've ever stayed. The view alone is worth the price of the room and we saw multiple turtles every single day. Amazing view from the lanai watching turtles!

Mahina Surf was such a peaceful place to stay. The grounds are beautiful, the pool has an amazing ocean view, and the condo itself was comfortable and well equipped. We especially enjoyed having breakfast outside on the lanai while listening to the waves.
