About this property

Private Cozy Studio walking distance to beaches, shops, restaurants and bars

This studio is perfect for the vacationers who wants to spend their time out and about exploring the island and still have a very nice, comfortable place to come home to. It's on the 4th floor of The Island Surf in South Kihei and within walking distance of many shops, deli's, beaches, restaurants, and bars. It looks out towards the east and the beautiful Haleakala volcano. Although I would highly recommend a rental car to explore the island, the studio's close location to many things makes it ideal for those who choose to not rent a car (walking score - 78).

This 240 sq. ft. studio comes with a full bathroom, a beautiful new walk-in tiled shower, a very comfortable queen size bed, AC, ceiling fan, refrigerator, a microwave, 4 cup brew coffee maker, toaster, dishes glass ware and utensils. It has cable TV, Wi-Fi, and USB chargers.

Listen to your favorite music through your mobile device's music apps or library and the Bluetooth Bose Mini Sound speaker. The blackout drapes are great for sleeping in.

Included is everything you need for the beach - cooler, ice packs, food keepers, beach chairs, mats, towels, beach umbrellas as well as personal rain umbrellas. The studio is quiet - located on the backside of the complex so it does not get the street noise.

The ocean and beautiful Kalama Park are directly across the street where surfing and stand-up paddle boarding lessons take place. It's the perfect spot for whale watching during season and taking in those spectacular Maui sunsets. Surf boards and bikes can easily be rented from shops on the first floor.

The beautiful sandy Kamaole beaches are a short distance just to the south and continuing all the way to Wailea and Makena, home of world famous golf courses.

The studio is perfect for one or two adults - no children please.

I've been in the hospitality business for many years and have set this studio up to please any traveler who wants a very nice, clean accommodation without spending an arm and a leg. If this fits your travel style you will be very pleased with this charming place and the Aloha it offers.

Update on the Lahaina fire:
I am sure you are aware of Lahaina and the tragic event of the fire. Lahaina is slowly starting to rebuild but it will take many years. The rest of the west side of the island where Lahaina is located is fully functioning and open for business.
The Governor and Maui Mayor have emphasized that the rest of the island is still open for tourists to come and enjoy. Kihei has been unaffected. Vacationers are welcome to come and enjoy the South/Central and East part of the island that still has many spectacular places and fun things Maui has to offer. Governor Green has been on national TV recently advising that the best thing interested people can do to help the island recover is to come and vacation here and support our local businesses.

Now after a year since the tragic fire, Lahaina has been cleared of the fire debris and the first homes are being rebuilt. New housing projects are underway and the fire victims are beginning to move in.

The studio is located in The Island Surf Condominium and is zoned as Condo/Hotel and as such is NOT subject to any of the efforts to convert short term vacation rentals to long term rentals. You do not have to be concerned at all in making a vacation reservation at this property. Please note that The Island Surf is a NO SMOKING building. There is a designated smoking area in the parking lot.

I live on Maui and know the island well. If you have any questions please feel free to message me. Cloy

Husband and I came for a get away. We don't need a lot when it comes to a room. This studio was perfect for us. It had everything we needed. It was quiet, access to grills to cook, walk right across the street to the beach, walk to restaurants and foos trucks were plenty. If you want to get away from the high priced hotels with all their fees, this is the studionto secure. Unexpectedly met the host and he was very kind. He is also very responsive and helpful! Not sure if we will get a chance to come back, but if we do, we will look to see if this studio is available. In my opinion, it was worth it!

Awesome stay by the beach

Had a great experience in this studio! Check-in process was super smooth, and the location of the condo is close to a lot of beaches and great food spots. Cloy is also a great host -- he's super communicative and when there was a tsunami warning (obviously something out of his control), he proactively checked in on how I was doing, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Great location and price

I would like to be in walking distance from the beach and all sorts of restaurants and entertainment, I recommend booking with Cloy in the middle of Kihei. It’s been a fantastic trip to Maui and Cloy has always been communicative towards any questions I had. Great amenities such as chairs, umbrella and towels for your trip to the beach as well. I recommend anyone book in this great room.

We had a lovely stay in Kihei, and this property provided a comfortable and centrally located base for us to explore Maui. We particularly liked the proximity to food trucks at South Maui Gardens and grocery stores, as well as local beaches (Little Beach in Makena State Park was our favorite). Cloy, the owner, was very responsive, and his place was well appointed with essentials for making a Maui visit as wonderful as it could be. Two thumbs up!

Second time staying here…

Cloy has a wonderful unit in Kihei!!! This is our second time staying here and everything was perfect again. We will totally stay here again when we return. Very clean, great area and it is by lots of great restaurants and so close to the beach. Cloy is very nice to work with and answers any questions very quickly. It is a pleasure to stay in this unit.
