Island Surf #605 Condo Description:
JUNE UPDATE: New central AC was just installed ! Incredibly quiet !! Individual room climate control.

Aloha! We are excited to share our condo with you for your beautiful trip to Maui and we would like to make your vacation as enjoyable as possible. The unit is supplied with all of the things we had hoped to find in a vacation rental, including lots of spices, new cookware and dishes and even zip lock baggies, tin foil and Q tips (to get the sand out of your ears !!). The goal is to save our guests some expense and eliminate the need for packing such items in your travel luggage.
Our newly purchased and completely remodeled unit in sunny South Kihei is in the heart of the beach town within walking distance to world class beaches, restaurants, bars, and shops. There are many days you may find that a car is not necessary. The Island Surf Building has a delis, dive shop, bike rentals, day spas, surf shop, and other convenient businesses located on the first floor. It is across the street from Kalama Beach Park where one can either watch or participate in basketball, roller blading, skate boarding, sand volleyball, snorkeling, surfing, paddle boarding, and fishing.
"The Cove", located just across the street, is well known to be the best beginner surf and/or paddle boarding area on the island. Rental gear and/or excellent instructors are conveniently located at the new Maui Wave Rider surf store across the street. One can easily enjoy watching your friends and family play in the ocean or at the park from the private lanai.
Whale season is between November and April, and the whales are easy to spot from this unique, top floor lookout. There are no power lines, poles, or other buildings obstructing your view.
Our top floor condo is bright and provides direct, unobstructed Pacific Ocean views and sunsets every evening via the floor to ceiling glass wall in the living room/kitchen. From the lanai you can see the Islands of Lanai, Kaho'olawe, and Molokini crater. New double pane glass throughout the unit provides silence when you want it, and the huge sliding glass door to the 16 foot Lanai brings the outside in when you choose.
Our unit is one of only four top floor vacation rental units facing west that allows viewing the incredible westerly sunsets regardless of the time of year you visit!!
You are also in a great location for day trips to Haleakala, Hana, Lahaina /Kaanapali, and Wailea.
The airport is conveniently located within 30 minutes of The Island Surf and thus "coming and going" is both quick and easy.

Additional highlights of of our spotless condo:
* Keyless Entry!
* Security Safe for valuables
* Wonderful "Split Air Conditioning"...allows individual room control in bedroom and main room (w/ remote controls)
* Ceiling fans in Living area and Bedroom with remote controls.

* Fantastic and Caring Guest Service. Our On-Island contact is within walking distance to the condo, and will promptly attend to any issues you may encounter.

Gorgeous condo! The view is stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice. Condo is very clean and well stocked, has everything you could need including beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas. Plenty of parking! Walkable to many restaurants and super close to great beaches. We had an issue our first day and Steve was very prompt in communicating with us and resolving the situation. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again without hesitation!

Wonderful, wonderful Maui condo!

We just completed a one week visit to Maui and this lovely condo helped to make it an incredible experience! The description of the unit is more than accurate: all the small details have been considered and it is warm, comfortable, and inviting - with an incredible ocean view. Wait until you see the sunset from its lanai! The location is perfect in Kihei with beautiful beaches, local markets and lots of delicious food options all within waking distance. Plus the owners, Steve and Vicki, are so easy to work with and incredibly helpful in answering any/all questions and in providing "guidance" to some great restaurants, shopping, things-to-do! This will be the first place we look to when we return to Maui! Really a wonderful place to stay!

A real home away from home

Your next to just about everything and they provide pretty much everything in the condo itself except for the actual groceries but you have a discount card for that too! Such an amazing view that every meal was out on the lanai. People watching and star gazing... it really felt like home. Thank you so much Steve and Vikki, it really was a treat to stay in your home for two whole weeks. I just wish I would have made time to write in the guest book, but next time hopefully! :)

Ideal location, close to shops, restaurants and the beach as well as easy driving to hiking trails

Renting was easy. The hosts Steve & Vicky were easy to get in touch with if we had we questions and responded almost immediately. Loved having the free parking on the property. The unit was very well equipped. Lots of cooking equipment, utensils dishes etc. Loved having real coffee grounds provided (would have liked some milk /cream too in the fridge to get us started in the morning, especially since we arrived at close to 11:00 pm , but that’s just our personal preference) We left a full unopened bag of coffee in the freezer to replace what we used.

Great Kihei Condo

My husband, 7 month old, and I stayed at the condo and had a great time. The lanai looks right out at the water, we loved having breakfast out there and watching the paddleboarders. The kitchen was very well equipped, had anything we could have possibly needed. Foodland is just a few blocks away, which made it really easy to walk over and go grocery shopping. The bed was comfortable and we found the condo to be very quiet at nighttime. It was really nice to have all of the beach equipment available for us to use, especially the umbrella to keep our little one in the shade. We didn't end up doing any swimming in the area directly across from the condo, but there are multiple sandy beaches within an easy walk or drive. Hope to make it back!

Excellent unit!

My girlfriend and I spent 11 days there. This was my 15th Maui vacation or so and I can say that was the best one bedroom I've ever had so far. Everything is brand new and high quality. No cheap furniture. Our bed was amazing. Plus, the unit seemed to have literally everything that I would want for my vacation and sometimes something that was totally unexpected. Basically we were VERY HAPPY and I mean it. PS: also, you can see right from lanai if the swell is good enough to surf.

5 Stars without the price!!

This was our first trip to Maui and it won't be the last, and we will stay here again! The location, cleanliness, included options and ease of renting thru Vicki and Steve were awesome. We absolutely loved the condo and view. We spent so much time on lanai in morning and evenings drinking coffee, eating breakfast, happy hour before the local 3-6 happy hours which are two blocks away! The restaurants and bars and beaches are all walking distance away. Kihei Café was awesome for breakfast, Threes, Dog & Duck for happy hours were great and a good place to watch football! It was so nice to have the beach chairs and snorkel gear provided and to just pick up and go across the street. Watching the surfers and paddle boarders at the cove was very enjoyable as well as our daily walks around the park across the street and our spot for beautiful sunsets! We took a paddle board lesson from Maui Wave Riders and we loved it. I couldn't believe how much you could see out there! The crystal clear water with tons of corral and fish and sea turtles right by you! We used the swimming pool a few times and it was perfect and not crowded at all! When we were ready to drive somewhere it was centrally located to Lahaina, the other great beaches to the South and the airport was only 20 minutes. I highly recommend this unit. Super clean, well priced and beautifully decorated! Our weather was perfect so didn't need to pass anytime playing games, but if you wanted to, they have a big selection of those and books on Maui as well. Thanks to Vicki and Steve for allowing us to share your piece of paradise! We will return!

Sunsets on the lanai

Great property with all the amenities you need to enjoy the beaches of Maui. There are so many food trucks within walking distance of the condo that we really enjoyed. But our favorite thing was to sit on the lanai in the mornings with our coffee and watch the surfers or in the evening to enjoy the sunsets.

Great Maui Vacation

We came to Maui for to celebrate a major wedding anniversary, and could not have been happier with our accommodations. Our biggest surprise was that the view was even better than the pictures. We spent every night that we could watching the gorgeous sunsets from the lanai.Steve was great to work with. We had one minor problem at the beginning. Steve was able to diagnose the problem quickly from home, and line up a repairman right a way. He was a great owner to work with.If we make a return trip to Maui, This would be the first condo we would check for availability.

Perfect spot in Kihei

My husband and I stayed here for a month, over Christmas and New Years. We would come back again and stay at Steve and Vicki's place for sure!The location is so excellent, walking distance to beaches, restaurants and shops. A bonus is the South Maui Gardens is right behind the condo, so convenient. The building has a great Sushi restaurant and a massage salon on the first floor. You are also less than 2 blocks from the Foodland for groceries. If you stay further down Kihei road (north) you will be far away from the heart of Kihei and there are no sidewalks near the end of the road, not safe for walking, especially at night. This area is a busy location, however, Steve put in heavy duty sliding balcony doors, you do not hear noise from the busy Kihei road (unless your doors are open). Other condos do not have that, my sister stayed on a 5th floor VRBO and she was impressed by the difference it made!The condo is stocked with anything you could think of and more. Great furniture that's actually comfortable (living room and bedroom). Great beach chairs with umbrella.Steve and Vicki are also very attentive and answer quickly if you need anything. Highly recommend this condo, you won't be disappointed, only when you have to leave!

We had a great time at this condo with our 5 month old. The beach was super convenient and having beach toys, umbrella, and a pack and play made it so easy to stay here. The grocery store and a number of restaurants are also a very short walk away, so we barely needed to drive other than visiting the national park!

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived north of the Seattle area all of our lives and "honeymooned" on the island of Maui over 35 years ago. Two years ago we stayed with our close friends in their unit at the Island Surf and had a unique opportunity to purchase and remodel our own condo next door to theirs. We have fallen in love with Maui all over again and hope you enjoy the area and people as much as we do.
Aloha, Steve and Vicki Parker

What makes this property unique

The top floor at Island Surf offers some spectacular and unobstructed views and the central location is within easy walking distance to local beaches and with the ability to walk to so many attractions. It is complete and spotless with all new tile, appliances, electronics, and furniture for you to enjoy.
UPDATE: new central air conditioning system installed. No more noisy window AC !!
During our recent remodel we were surprised to hear comments from many of the local residents on Maui regarding this incredible and unique view from the top floor @ Island Surf.
