"Paradise Found!" writes one VRBO reviewer. . .
Perhaps, John Milton should have booked Kihei Surfside Resort before he wrote his epic poem. . . . and thank you Jeanne E. for this April 2024 review.
Live large and experience Maui on your terms at the legendary Kihei Surfside Resort in south Kihei (built in 1975). This is R&R in the best sense of a vacation. Enjoy your coffee on the lanai looking directly at the island of Lanai . . . or, on the show-stopping front lawn as the waves break below you. This second floor condo (#208) includes granite countertops, bamboo cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, including dishwasher, a 55-inch flat screen smart Ultra 4L LG TV with the full menu of channels via Spectrum, toll-free calling back to North America, and Bluetooth-enabled sound Marshall system that streams directly from your smartphone. A relatively new queen size sleeper sofa sits in front of the panoramic ocean views. The unit is finished throughout with beautiful Italianate tile. The bathroom has a stone-tiled walk-in shower. The bedroom is outfitted with a king bed, wood shutters and a multi-speed overhead fan and, yes, air conditioning. This unit sleeps 3 comfortably, and is fully furnished with comfy linens.
Equipped with beach towels, a locking safe for valuables, free high speed internet with wi-fi access and free long distance to US & Canada. Beach chairs are available from the front office on the 1st floor. Did we mention free parking? This immaculate Kihei Surfside condo has everything you’ll need for your dream Hawaii vacation.
This oceanfront vacation condo is steps away from ocean adjacent front park-like lawn and whale watching in season and spectacular sunsets all year long. It really is paradise . . enjoying a morning coffee on the lawn as you look out and see the islands of Lanai, Kaho’olawe and also and Molokini Crater can be seen from the property. With a two minute walk — you're on the beautiful golden sands of Keawakapu beach, one of Maui’s best beaches, just behind the neighboring Mana Kai Resort.
A 5-minute drive takes you to all the shops and restaurants of Kihei town or the Shops at Wailea. The condo is at the end of a long driveway from South Kihei Road, so that you don’t hear the traffic noise – just the ocean waves, birds chirping, and the sweet, incredible trade winds.
We are directly oceanfront and the Pacific trade winds blow in right off the ocean all the time. These trade winds, along with ceiling fans in the living and bedrooms, keep the condo comfortable for most people. If you prefer a cooler temperature a brand new Daikin air conditioner has just been installed in the bedroom as of March 2024.
We are unit 208, on the 2nd floor, in the center of the building, the view looks out across the lawn directly to the ocean. And, parking is free. People who have stayed at the Kihei Surfside love it and tend to return.

Host called ahead to give us some ideas on places to visit and favorite restaurants. The amenities and grounds were very nice and the view is beautiful
We had a wonderful stay at Stephen and Connies beautiful condo. We loved looking out across the lawn and directly at the ocean. It was fun to drink coffee and watch whales from our balcony. The accommodations are updated and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The kitchen had all the amenities for making meals at home which we enjoyed doing several times!
We had a great stay! We love the location, view, comfort, and amenities. Steve was so wonderful to work with and we appreciate them sharing their piece of paradise with us.
Stayed here for my 2024 Christmas holiday and returned for 2025. Simple, clean, & comfortable condo in a quiet complex. Terrific location on a wonderful & walkable beach. Easy to reach Kaanapali & Wailea. Plan to stay again in 2026.
Fabulous stay in Kihei. We enjoyed this unit and location. Easy to get anywhere on the island. The lawn and pool areas are clean and beautiful for watching sunsets. The lanai was good for relaxing in the evening and listening to the ocean waves. The beach is within a short walk. The convenience store next door is handy when you need that pint of ice cream to eat on the beach!
Wonderful stay. Beautiful view, quiet and restful Pool is warm and uncrowded. No road noise! Comfortable beds. Close to town but not in town. Sandy beach with good swimming a few minute walk. Early am yoga class on the lawn by the beach. Lovely in every way. I hope to go again!
An excellent spot to be, close to many amenities in Kihei. The place was absolutely LOVELY, a gorgeous property and very comfortable space. I wish we could have stayed longer!
Had a great vacation and this spot was central to everything I was looking for! The pool was always clean, lawn area looked after, room was well maintained, and hosts were on top of their communication.
Amazing ocean views and great location! Kihei Surfside is just steps away from Keawakapu, a beautiful white sand beach with fantastic snorkeling. The unit is clean and well-equipped. Steve and Connie are lovely hosts. We look forward to returning soon!
This was our second stay at this condo. The location is great for walking the nearby beaches and for getting to all of the fun and exciting adventures on the island. The condo is clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, especially watching the beautiful sunsets. Aloha
You simply can’t ask for better hosts than Steve and Connie. Everything you need in a perfect location. Their warmth, hospitality and good humor is anything but bland.Best,Erin UnMcCommon
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!
We stayed at the Kihei Surfside for 8 nights. Everything was great. From quick responsive communication to a nice clean well equipped condo. We’ve stayed at the Kihei Surfside before because we like the location with the grassy park and the easy access to the beach. It’s always very quiet. It won’t be our last time staying at the Surfside. thanks for providing a wonderful stay.
We loved the location and property manager most helpful. Building undergoing Reno but quiet for us in day. The view from balcony is fantastic. The unit well equipped small kitchen.
We've stayed at this property 4 times because we love the location of the condo itself and the surrounding area... mile long beautiful beach and the great snorkeling. I saw at least one turtle every time I snorkeled. The Kihei Surfiside is quiet, beautiful grassy area, and a wonderful view of the sunsets. The owners are responsive to questions and strive to make the stay as pleasant as possible. I highly recommend this property and will stay there every time I'm in Maui.
Had a great stay! Keawakapu is our favorite beach in Maui and it’s about a 2-3 minute walk to get there! The bed was comfy, kitchen was SO well stocked, and there were plenty of beach towels for use. Was super easy to check out beach chairs for the week downstairs w the office. Used the bbq once (it was pretty packed each night), saw whales from the balcony a few times! Hosts were communicative and so accommodating! My only wish was that there was AC in the entire unit. The bedroom AC works great, but the main area can get a bit stuffy if all the windows and doors aren’t open. This was a great stay and for the price, we’d book again.
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!
My wife and I stayed here for our first visit to Hawai’i and it was absolutely perfect. The views are just as advertised, if not better. The unit was clean, tidy and well organized. Everything needed to cook was included which made it great to save some dining out costs by making breakfast for ourselves while enjoying some coffee on the balcony. At night the sunset over the park is amazing, lounge chairs are provided and you can bring down a glass of wine and just relax. Walking access to long trails stretching both north and south made for a perfect way to start the day as well. Would absolutely recommend staying here.
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.
We did not know what to expect but our experience was amazing. The grounds are maintained like a golf course green. The views from the balcony and the grounds themselves of islands, ocean and absolutely spectacular Hawaiian sunsets are worth the price alone. The room was clean and having the kitchenette for us was great. The condo owners were easy to contact and helped make this trip wonderful. We got married the week we were there and this place offers some of the most amazing picture oppurtunities of anywhere we have been. It does not offer a sand beach right on the property but there are more beaches than you can possibly need within walking distance. Again, beautiful views, quiet and relaxing compared to hotel properties. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you to the Bland’s
This was a perfect choice for our 3-week trip to Maui! Clean and well-kept with so many good points:Great ocean view, both from inside and from the balcony.Second-floor location: more private than ground floor, but only one flight up if you take the stairs. Modern kitchen has all the useful appliances and dining ware, and a convenient island. The bathroom has plenty of places to hang towels, washcloths, and swimsuits. Lots of beach and bath towels provided, even black makeup removal cloths. There were even a good pair of binoculars that we used for whale-watching, and a yoga mat! The bed is comfortable and the bedroom has a quiet air conditioner.The HD TV and Spectrum cable provide access to cable channels and streaming apps (using your own streaming app accounts).This condo is a very comfortable size for a couple. There’s a good pull-out sofa bed in the living room area, but someone sleeping there would not have air conditioning or much privacy, so maybe best for families with kids who wouldn’t mind this.The small but nice pool was never crowded when we were there. Lawn area has a 9-hole putting green, barbecue area, and chaise longue chairs. Pay laundry on-site, and across the parking lot is a well-stocked convenience store. It’s just steps from a good snorkeling and swimming beach to the south, and a boat ramp from which snorkel and whale tours leave to the north. Last but not least, the owners, Connie and Steve, are awesome and responsive.
