This second floor oceanfront condo at the Kihei Surfside Resort is located on the sought after ocean side of the elevator, and in the coveted "2 stack", which are the closest to the ocean one bedroom condos in all of Kihei or Wailea. It has a spectacular view from the kitchen, living room, dining area and lanai. It is one of the larger, 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath units (680 sq ft). The view of the ocean and its abundant wildlife is absolutely breathtaking. Considering its high level of finishing and location, this is undoubtedly one of the finest one bedroom, 1.5 bath units in the building.
The entire unit has porcelain flooring. All the cabinetry was custom made and imported from Canada. It is cherry stained maple, and all counters and vanities are topped with a very unique, light colored granite. Most of the lighting is controlled by dimmer switches.
The oversized gourmet kitchen is spectacular! It is fully equipped with stainless steel Professional Series appliances, including side by side fridge/freezer with water and ice, flat top stove with five burners and warming drawer, quiet dishwasher, multi-function microwave oven, garbage disposer and a variety of small appliances including coffee maker, coffee grinder, four slice toaster, blender, crock pot, rice maker and hand mixer. There is also a large selection of higher end pots and pans, baking pans, high quality knife set, spice rack and ample matching dishes, glasses and cutlery. The corner sink design allows for maximum efficiency and working space. The island has a six foot eating ledge with three barstools.
The living room has a queen size sofa-bed with matching large comfy armchair with ottoman. There is also a large 55" flat screen LCD HD color TV with an HD cable box c/w DVR and DVD player, and of course, a multi speed ceiling fan.
The dining area has an oversized round rattan glass table with 4 matching tropical pattern armchairs.
The large, private lanai has a glass bistro table with two heavily padded swivel rocker chairs - a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or a romantic oceanfront dinner!
The entry has a large built in, granite topped buffet with cabinets and a full set of dresser drawers, and a desk area.
The bedroom has a high quality pillow top King size bed, high quality bedding, multi speed ceiling fan, Hawaiian style rattan furniture, plantation shutters, oversized closet, digital security safe, telephone and a wall mounted 32" flat screen LCD TV.
The master bathroom has a full size, walk in shower with a Pulse shower spa system, including rain head, hand held wand/massager and six body sprays. There is an over height vanity with granite countertop. The matching half bath has been finished to the same high standard. Both bathrooms have Kohler toilets.
This condo is fully equipped with fresh linens and towels, hair dryer, iron/ironing board. All units have beach towels and a cooler. Umbrellas and snorkel gear are not supplied, but are often left behind in the units by other guests – no guarantees. The Kihei Surfside office loans out beach chairs free of charge during regular business hours - Monday to Saturday. Office is closed Sundays and Holidays.
The unit has free, wireless high speed internet and free long distance calling to the United States and Canada. It is also equipped with a state of the art Oracode door lock, whereby each guest is issued a unique code which controls the door only during their stay. No keys!
This unit is an excellent choice for guests who are looking for the best accommodation the Kihei Surfside has to offer; a spacious, comfortable high end oceanfront condo with a spectacular location and view of the Pacific Ocean and the West Maui mountains.
The Kihei Surfside Resort is located at 2936 S. Kihei Road, South Kihei at the entrance of beautiful Wailea. This is the desert part of Maui, where the sun shines more than any other part of the island. The Kihei Surfside Resort consists of an absolute oceanfront concrete building of 6 floors and 84 deluxe units with an elevator. The building underwent an extensive makeover during the summer of 2015, it was closed for six months. Each unit received new windows, doors and railings, and the building itself had a complete concrete restoration and paint. There is free parking on site. The resort is a twenty-five minute drive from the Kahului Airport (OGG). Rental cars are available at the airport or in Kihei town. There are also taxis available at the airport (about $50), a shuttle bus and public transportation.
Virtually all of the properties and resorts in Kihei are either located right on busy S. Kihei Rd., or if they are set back from the road - are across from the street from the ocean. One unique feature of the Kihei Surfside is that it is located at the quiet end of S. Kihei Road, AND is set back 300 feet from S. Kihei Road AND is located right on the ocean! Because it is hard to see from the road, many first time Surfside guests say that even though they have visited Kihei many times, they had never seen the resort!
Another unique feature of the property is that we have a 2 acre, immaculately kept oceanfront lawn area with dozens of loungers, with a heated swimming pool and deluxe barbeque facilities. In season, there are daily whale sightings from both the grounds and lanais. In fact, the Pacific Whale Foundation conducts their annual whale count from our property. The building is located at the north end of Keawakapu Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui (voted Maui's most romantic), where you can walk for miles past some of the most expensive oceanfront homes on the island and the luxurious hotels of Wailea.

Lovely place and exactly as pictured. Included a beach umbrella and cooler. Loved watching sunset from the balcony, lawn, and beach which was steps away.
This was a great stay, the Vrbo was as described and expected and the views were even better than expected. The resort itself was a great relaxing beach stay! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting and I would love to come back again.
Great location in a quiet building. Nice walking trails to beach access. A couple little problems and starting to show a little wear considering it says recently renovated. Still a nice unit close to everything in a great area.
This place was so beautiful and relaxing, it was stocked with everything one could need. It’s truly a home away from home. This will be where we stay every year from now on
The sounds of the waves is everything! This unit is semi-updated, great quiet well kept complex, friendly front office, and again, the sound of the waves. Person "on call" was quickly responsive when we checked in on a day the main office is closed. Will definitely stay here again. (Con: complex has no shade at the pool, you can drag the chairs to the palm tree shade on the golf-course quality grass)
We had a great time at Larry's property! We listened to the waves all day and all night and enjoyed walking around the condo grounds. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bed was comfortable, and it was great having a second bathroom. The snorkeling at Keawakapu Beach was incredible and it was a short drive to restaurants and other beaches. We would definitely stay here again!

This property is ideally located right on the water and just a few feet from a beautiful beach with great snorkeling! We loved sitting out on the lanai for drinks or morning coffee. The condo is close to Kihei in one direction and Wailea in the other. We can't wait to go back. The unit is well-appointed to cover all the basic needs. Can't wait to go back!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Kihei Surfside, unit 202. The condo was amazing - it made our stay in Maui to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary memorable. The condo exceeded our expectations with all the amenities and knickknacks provided from the general comfortable accommodations to the snorkel gear to the kitchen details of grocery bags and condiments, to the ease of checking in and out, and of course the great location with the lanai right off the water. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Loved loved this condo. The location was amazing. Sooo close to the ocean but no one laying on a beach right under your lanai. The views and sunsets were spectacular! Yet….you walked only steps to one of the longest beautiful beaches on west Maui. Can’t say enough about that. Also the pool was so clean and lovely so close to the ocean as well. The unit was clean and had everything we needed down to very plush beach towels. We used the laundry facilities and they were open and airy and clean as well. There was a nice welcome note and snacks when we arrived which was nice. We would definitely recommend this unit to anyone wanting to come to Maui and experience the relaxed feel of Kihei!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Not as expected
Upon arrival noticed how dirty the tables, floors, counters, shower and appliances were. No a/c, filthy windows. Add to clean my feet every time I got OUT of shower if I didn’t immediately put shoes on. Found mold and live LARVAE in shower /bath area. Will not recommend or stay there again

Sorry that the cleaning did not meet your expectations. I don't know what to say. Our cleaners are excellent and their work is rarely criticized. In fact, I don't remember ever getting such a negative review in the 14 years we have rented this unit. Certainly future guests will find this review in stark contrast to the dozens of other reviews that have been left. I wish you would have notified us right away like we ask in the check in instructions so we could have addressed the issues right away. One of our mainland managers stayed this unit for 2 weeks right before you and did not report any issues, and left it almost spotless. I was personally in the unit changing light bulbs and fixing the shower on the day of your arrival after it was cleaned and and I did not notice anything amiss.
You can’t go wrong with any unit at Kihei Surfside. The location is just the best. Views are great. Each unit has a lanai. Unit 202 was perfectly adequate for our needs. There were no personal touches that have been provided at other Kihei Surfside rentals we’ve stayed at, such as notes about where to find things or how to use items in the condo. No welcome basket full of goodies. Everything was in working order. There was just enough towels, soap and TP, etc. Best to LABEL the pre-proportioned dish? laundry? detergents under the sink. Had no idea which was for what. The yoga mat was great but the snorkel masks leaked, so better to rent your own. There were no beach chairs but you can use the loungers that are on the lawn and Mana Kai next door can rent you everything you need. It was very quiet until the final night when the condo next door had a loud party (2/6) that went well into the night and is against the rules. They even left their front door wide open despite loud music and laughing. Not our condo owner’s fault of course and usually KS is a quiet building.

Thank you for taking time to leave a detailed review of your experience staying with us at the Kihei Surfside. We work hard to provide our guests with the best experience possible and appreciate you letting us know where we fell short. Mahalo! ~Rosies~
Every day we woke up and went to sleep with the breeze and noise of the waves. An exceptional location for lounging or accessing all Maui has to offer. I recommend this highly.
Great property with fantastic beach access. Would be nice if there were beach chairs and umbrella to use at the beach that is in walking distance. TV/internet did not work. I should have asked the front office but we decided to just not watch any TV and I had my own portable internet.
We've stayed at this unit twice now because we love it's proximity to the crashing waves and the pool. We had everything we needed in the unit and can't think of anything that wasn't covered.
The property was fantastic and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! Everything was clean, and the view was amazing! The condo is very well located to make getting wherever you need to go easy, and the adjacent beach is the best in Maui. I highly recommend!
The property at Kihei Surfside provided stunning views! My wife and I traveled most of the island and the beach that was walking distance to the property ranks as the best in my opinion. Be aware, Kihei is a "Sun up, to sun down" town so don't expect much life after 9pm. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area and hope to stay there again some day.
Nice location, well appointed unit, incredible views
I work on Maui and have stayed at a variety of properties. This is one of the best. There is no air conditioning but I never use it anyway as it is usually quite windy on Maui and the breeze is lovely.
Pros: The bed is comfortable, the unit is well stocked with bath towels and kitchen supplies. The views are gorgeous and it is a short walk to the beach. The communal barbecues looked nice but I didnʻt use them. There is a restaurant and a convenience store at the property next door.
Cons: Parking is a little tight so it can be hard to find a spot. The pool is small and there is no jacuzzi but I wasnʻt really there with time to use it anyway. There is laundry in the building but it would be nicer if they were in the unit like some other places I have stayed.
Finally - I got an email threatening immediate eviction for smoking on property. I am a healthcare professional and donʻt smoke so I donʻt know what that was about but I just shrugged it off.
One of the best if not the best room I’ve ever stayed in. Fantastic view full kitchen two bathrooms and a king bed, what else could you ask for.

About the host
Hosted by Larry Rosenberg
Larry and Sharon Rosenberg are the owners of this property.
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the Kihei Surfside since our honeymoon in 1983, when we rented this 202 unit. It is absolutely our favorite place on earth! We own 4 other units at the Surfside, and when this unit became available, we knew we had to buy it as these premium, closest to the ocean units in the building don't go up for sale very often!
What makes this property unique
We love spending the day at Keawakapu beach, which starts at our property and goes south for miles. It is one of the nicest, white powder sand beaches in all of Maui, and I have yet to find better snorkeling anywhere on the island than right out front of our place. We like to finish the day with a sunset cocktail, and then follow by cooking fresh meat and seafood on the professional series barbeque grills and eating our dinner under the tiki torches at the concrete picnic tables at the oceanfront.
