Keywords: Condominium
Kihei Surfside, Unit 211 is a 1-bedroom, 1.5 bath condominium in a very popular oceanfront complex. From your lanai you see the beautifully manicured lawn with the Pacific Ocean beyond. You can see West Maui, the island of Lanai and fantastic sunsets from your lanai. In the winter season the whale watching is the best.
The lawn area offers lounge chairs for relaxing, or for the more athletic: horse shoes, croquette, shuffleboard, putting green, frisbee throwing and swimming in the oceanfront heated pool. Keawakapu Beach, a popular swimming and snorkeling site is just a three minute walk from your front door. Or you could head ten minutes north across the lawn and past the Kihei Boat Ramp through the nature preserve to Kamaole's sandy Beach with extensive grass lawn for picnics.
Our condo, Unit 211 is our home away from our home. JUST ADDED: NEW Appliances Dec. 2011 along with recently updated 37" Flat Screen TV WITH DVR. We try and provide the unit with all the conveniences we like to have and use during our stay in Maui. We ALSO have fully digital phone/internet service with free local calls and FREE calls to US and Canada. Stay in touch while on vacation. The unit is fully tiled and has ceiling fans in both the living area and bedroom. The full bath has a large shower with handheld sprayer for your use.
There's linens for the king bed and the queen sofa sleeper and towels for the full and half bath. When you feel like eating in instead of dining out at the many fine restaurants in the area - the kitchen is stocked with items that you might need. There is also a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. The laundry room on the 1st floor is convenient and the office will sell you quarters to use. The office staff is glad to help you with information and suggestions even though they are not a concierge. The office also has some videos, DVD's and audio books and there is a cabinet library near the laundry room.
There are many activities close by the complex. The Wailea Shops feature many restaurants and entertainment on Wednesday evenings. At Mulligan's on the Blue they feature music most evenings with a special dinner show, Wailea Nights, on Thursday and Friday evenings. One show in Lahaina which is excellent is Warran & Annabelle's, a magic comedy show. These are just a few or our favorites.
We take pride in our Maui home and our hope is you would enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Aloha, AB & Jinny Southall

Why the Owner Chose Kihei Surfside
During our fourth visit to Maui we had decided to seriously look for an investment. We had used VRBO and were staying in a unit in the Kihei Surfside. We looked at over a dozen other properties in the Kihei and Wailea area. But coming home to our spectacular view each evening had us making an offer only on another property in the Surfside.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The benefits to the Surfside for us include the lawn area for sunbathing and other more energetic activities like frisbee and croquette. I really enjoy walking just across the lawn to the jetty for Kihei Marina. At sunset I look for sea turtles as they usually feed there. We walk along the shoreline both north and south from the Surfside; north to town and Hawaiian Moon for organic foods and south along Wailea for the views.
Owner's Map of Kihei Surfside
We were married in Maui in 2002 just on the edge of Keawakapu Beach so our Kihei Surfside home holds very special memories. We try and visit at least once a year usually twice and particularly enjoy the whale watching from our lanai in the winter months. Luckily we live in Naples,Florida so we do not need to escape the harshness and cold of winter. We are pleased to share our second home with you and have tried to furnish it with everything you might have in your own home. Hope you enjoy your stay. A B & Jinny Southall

We rented unit 211 in Dec of 2010, and absolultely loved it. Previously we had rented a condo in Maalea, but the location of their Kehei Surfside clinched the deal for us this year. AB and Ginny were so helpful. They gave us a great preliminary write-up on the condo and the area before we arrived, provied us some wonderful documents on the best snorkling beaches, and called us on our cell after we had arrived to ensure that all was "OK". As noted, all units in the KS are not Ac'd....not a problem; the Tradewinds lulled us to sleep each nite; the natural AC worked great! Since 211 is a 1 1/2 bath unit it is a larger unit, which made us all the more comfortable. Everything in the Condo was spotless.(Yes, they are going to replace the curtains over the sliding door.) We found the kitchen facilities met our every need; we cooked dinner in most nites during our two week stay. Beach chairs, beach towels; everything was there to make our stay complete. The location of unit 211 provided us with a quiet condo; and we still had an awesome view. One day, as we lay out on the lawn next to the ocean, two whales sounded. It was thrilling. The beach was 50 feet away; just walk South a couple of feet and you had miles of it to walk. Or you could snorkle around the rocks out front. The people at the front desk were lifesavers, and gave us tips on all sorts of stuff. What really surprised us were the actual owners of the other units; many were there during our stay. The taught us how to use the BarBQ's, invited us to the sunset counch blowing ritual, and even dropped by to invite us to the morning Coffee and Danish (and , when we could not make it, left fresh pastry!) All in all, we could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks guys, for sharing your Hawaian home with us!

As far as location this is a good location since it's further South near Wailea. The beach is very close and access is past next door hotel which is convenient. We were not too fond of this building however and felt the ample grounds could be better enhanced in addition to having the current smaller pool. This unit really needs updating and we were very disspointed in our stay so we left early. It felt very oppressive inside and quality of furnishings is very poor. Kitchen is original with limited counters. The front darker bedroom had original ( and dirty) curtains as well as the wobbly ceiling fan. Also, the guest bathroom light switch is attached to the vent fan so when you turned the light switch on the fan noise was very loud and rickety. This unit does not have A/C and although we felt we were not going to need it unfortunately the rear bedroom gets very stuffy. You need to keep the louver style windows open for a breeze but then at 5:00am you hear the very loud birds outside the window. Also, being on the second level we heard several car alarms from the parking lot right out front and also one night there was a party in the parking lot until very late. Tried to use their portable fan as well to block the noise and make the room cooler but that portable fan is on its last legs. In addition being on the second level you hope the people below are respectful unlike the family who was staying below us. The unit below has direct access to the grassy area overlooking the ocean but if they are loud you will hear everything since they can come and go as they please from the sliding glass door which is directly above this balcony. It was a real shame!
Owner response:We appreciated this guests comments, I hope they found a quieter place. They had checked in a day early because where they were at first was too noisy. They stayed for two nights and asked to check out two days early since their original stay was a short one. We did agree with two items and when we visited this November we took care of the half bath fan (which had bothered us too but thought it would have taken an electirician, but we were able to put it on a pull switch. Also we did clean the curtains since in March we had not gotten a chance to have it done. We feel good when the overwelming response in our guest book is all positive in comments about our unit. We have not updated the kitchen as it is on the market and it has been recommended that the new buyer would rather do it to their specs. We in turn try to stock our unit like you would have in your home. As for the building location all past comments have been positive - with one other exception to quiet the birds. Kihei Surfside cannot have air conditioning in any units so if that is a requirement you should choose elsewhere. Our vast putting green lawn is partially leased from the state and our amenities (like the pool) could not be expanded if we chose to. Though our residents and visitors alike enjoy the full use of the area. I am going to be contacting other visitors and ask their permission to enter their guest book comments and one would then see an overwelming positive response to both our unit and the Kihei Surfside.
