"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 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. With the new queen sofa bed, this unit sleeps 3 comfortably, and is fully furnished with comfy linens.

This resort (in the best sense of "resort") — but yes, a home away from home. 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.

Our oceanfront vacation condo at the beautiful Kihei Surfside Resort in Kihei, Maui, is steps away from the ocean and offers turtle, dolphin and seasonal (Dec-April) whale watching, and spectacular Maui sunsets all year round. It's paradise . . enjoying a morning coffee on the lawn and watching the sea turtles swimming in the water in front of the building. The islands of Lanai, Kaho’olawe and also and Molokini Crater can be seen from the property. The rocky beach front offers excellent snorkeling, best accessed from the beautiful golden sand of Keawakapu beach, one of Maui’s best beaches, just steps away 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 S. 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 each afternoon. 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 year after year.

Wonderful spot!
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.

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!

Amazing location and such great views
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.

This property was close to everything you needed. The beach was a 5 minute walk and a 10 minute drive to all the food places down S. Kihei Road. We frequented the deli across the way every morning for their breakfast sandwich which was delicious. The place was also very clean and had most of the things we needed such as laundry detergent, Netflix, Wifi, coffee maker… The sunset is also amazing from this place!

Wonderful first trip to Maui.
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.

This experience exceeded my expectations. The view and atmosphere are breath taking, everything was very clean and well maintained. The property manager was a delight and the host responded within the hour when I had questions, also very friendly. I would not recommend if there are more than 2 guests due to small living space and 1 bathroom but it is perfect for 2 people.

Excellent location and condo
We loved our stay here at the Kihei Surfside. Everything was as described. There were beach gear to use which was great to have. Location is perfect for us since we were attending a wedding at the Mana Kai just next door. The construction of the pool area was slightly blocking our view but that didn’t bother us at all. We would love to come back and see the new remodeled pool area. No a/c so I was a little worried but the wind and the cross breeze kept the condo cool. Overall excellent experience.
