Vacation Rentals by Owner

Wonderful place to stay

This well-equipped and beautifully furnished condo was perfect for our week in Maui. It has all the appliances and cooking equipment you need and is clean and well maintained. The large lawn, pool, barbeques, and adjacent walking trail add to the appeal. The owner, who lives in Maui, was very helpful and responsive. We loved our stay here and having looked at other properties think this is one of the best. The view is to the northwest along the coast and is gorgeous. To the southwest behind the condo is one of the nicest beaches in Kehei and good for swimming and snorkeling. The condo is located just at the south end of Kehei, so you can go north to the shops and stores and busy area, or go south to the more exclusive and quiet areas and beaches of Wailea and Makena.

home away from home

We recently stayed in this condo, and absolutely loved it. The condo is very well equipped, making it a home away from home, which a much nicer view (wonderful ocean view!). It is in a great part of town, just minutes away from restaurants, multiple beaches (if the one beside the property isn't enough), and right along a beachfront path for leisure strolls or a good work-out. We will definately be back!

Clean and well cared for condo - all in all a lovely apartment stocked with everything you could possibly need for a fantastic vacation. Location was perfect for relaxing with fabulous views of the ocean and a nice beach close by. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Check in was very straightforward. Deposit was returned very quickly. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Thank you for having such a home-like place for us to enjoy our Maui visit... your well-stocked kitchen is delightful! We loved being so close to the snorkel spot and beach... hearing the surf sounds was very soothing. We hope to return next year. Your bird book and fish book were helpful. We identified a wandering tattler and the francolin! Mahalo and aloha!

Our stay in 405 has been so nice. Fantastic views! We appreciated all the extras. And we met so many return visitors who stay here year after year. All have their favorite units. We have found ours. After 2 weeks we should be all rested but it seems we played too hard again and must go home to relax. Hmm. Thanks for sharing your wonderful Maui home!

Thanks for a wonderful stay in your unit. As always we appreciated the extra amenities. The beach chairs are perfect. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed the bbq grills. Good lunch at Cafe o Lei and Ganon's. Great dinner next door at 5 Palms. Until next time, Aloha!

Our fourth stay at the Surfside and our first stay here in 405. Your pride of ownership is evident here. Much appreciated access to your books on Hawaii. This was the most clean unit we have ever encountered, and we left it that way. Thanks Much!

This was our second time in your unit. We really appreciate your fully stocked kitchen. We have stayed in several units at the Kihei Surfside, but yours is the best. Thank you.

Today is our last day on Maui and in your wonderful unit 405. We have had a great time here and hope to be back next year. Had fun watching the whales from the lanai; they were very close. We also love all the up grades this year. Thank you for all the great seasonings. We really enjoyed them. We think the key code box is a wonderful idea. Just had a great time; we really do love coming here every year. Thank you so very much for sharing your unit with us.

We had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed your beautiful condo immensely. We have stayed in many units at the Kihei Surfside, but your place was the best. It was nice to have a large flat screen TV and blu-ray dvd player. We sure appreciated having the kitchen stocked with all the supplies we needed and the Maikai card on the key ring. Also having the security of the 3rd key in the lock box near the front door. You thought of everything. The weather was wonderful, and we saw many whales, sea turtles, and some dolphins during our visit. Thank you so much for the lovely stay in your condo. We hope to stay here again next year.

Tonight is our last eveing in your magnificent unit 405. WE have enmjoyed every moment. We love the beautiful new couch and frabric cushions on the rattan chairs. We are amazed by the new credenza ande big flat screen TV and Blu-Ray. We did so many activities this trip. We saw manata ray in front of the Mana Kai along with 7 turtles, many eels, a cowry shell, angel fish and octopus; all so close to the Surfside. Thank you so much.

We are already in withdrawal from Kihei Surfside unit 405. Wow! What a fabulous space you have created from which to enjoy paradise. We found you on the internet and are so glad we did; photos and words do not capture all this incredible beauty, comfort and commaradarie and all around great experience. We have loved be3ing here. We hope to be able to return to your incredibly wonderful condo. Sunset with conch shell blowing is a life experience we will always treasure. There is just so much great energy here.

We will not....and have not....hesitated to recommend your specific unit to family and friends.

We had a wonderful time! The view is breathtaking and this resort is so quiet with a nice family atmosphere. One of our favorite days was an Upcountry trip...breakfast at Kula Lodge, visit to the Lavendar Farm, visit to the winery and then an early dinner at Mama's Fish House. Thank you for renting to us.

We have had a lovely stay in 405 and have wanted for nothing. You have supplied your home away from home with everything guests would need. I fell in love with the watercolor paintings in the bedroom which were done by your friend; just lovely. We have been coming to Maui for many years, but went Upcountry to the winery for the first time this visit as well as Makawao. What a great day that was. Thank you for renting your condo to us. It is beyond wonderful.

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your condo; we couldn't have asked for anything more. We went to turtle town; it was better than could have imagined. Snorkeled out front of the condo; it proved to be better than Molokini. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to rent #405 again this year. A romantic get-away from Minnesota cold was perfect. We love your unit and it's perfection. Your new stove with the glass top is lovely and so are the wonderful pots and pans. You are so well equipped, and we love every second of the ocean, the whales breeching out front and the sunsets on the lawn. We gave both conch shells a workout as we joined in the daily sunset activities. Each year we find our friendships grow stronger; it is hard to leave, but exciting to think of our return next year. Mahalo

This is the second year we have had the opportunity to stay in #405. Thank You!! Your condo is truly a "home away from home". It's location is superb! It is well-equipped, well maintained, & incredibly comfortable. Your efforts to continually upgrade, update and maintain your unit is recognized and greatly appreciated. We would not hesitate to return to your unit or to recommend your unit to friends. Thank you once again for sharing your condo.

How can you succeed in improving your home away from home because it seems each time we stay here we think it is perfect and yet you continue to improve your unit. Thank You! We just finished our last sunset here; it is with sweet sadness we head back home. Thank You! Mahalo!
