Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1988
After having owned and operated a large B&B in Northern California for many years I decided to move to Maui. Kihei is the perfect spot for a lifestyle of mixing easy living with spectacular scenery and outdoor activities. The studio is the perfect way for me to offer an affordable vacation to others who appreciate the beauty of Maui. Those who have stayed in the studio through the years have been very pleased. Many have returned again and again and referred their friends to this economical vacation choice.
Why the Owner Chose Island Surf
The Island Surf is in the heart of Maui's vacation paradise. Beautiful world class beaches and parks stretch all along Maui's south shore. Hawaii's climate in Kihei is hard to beat with most days balmy and warm. Following is the link or URL to The Island Surf Home Page where you can find additional information about The Island Surf and view additional pictures of the building and surrounding area.

The Unique Benefits of this Studio
The studio has all the essentials you need for a great vacation at an affordable price. You can enjoy the beach or any of the many other island activities during the day and still come home to a very nice place in the evening.

My husband and I, who are retired teachers in our 50's, stayed in this studio for 10 days and couldn't believe our luck in finding such a clean, comfortable apartment at such a great price. Everything we needed was provided: a big parking lot for our rental, coolers, beach mats, beach chairs and beach towels, free WiFi, travel books and paperbacks, to mention a few things. We enjoyed the 2nd floor pool area after busy days out snorkeling or hiking. Taking the road to Hana and going up to Haleakala National Park were almost as special as finding the many Happy Hours and great food locations which are within a block or two. (Try the Tiki Lounge for pizza or Lulu's for $2 Steinlagers!) The beach across the street was perfect for learning to paddle board, but we were really impressed with the wonderful snorkeling along the beautiful south shore beaches. Thanks to the owner for his helpfulness and for providing such a great little place in a great location! We look forward to our next stay!

I stayed here August 2011. It is a small bedroom with a bathroom. Owner has added a fridge, hot plate and toaster oven to work as a kitchen (I never used hotplates). For the price I couldn't ask for anything more, it offers more then a hotel and has a cheaper rate as well. Don't expect a 5* resort, you get what you pay for. I would definatley stay here again. Room was clean but dated. Close to all amenities, large parking lot with free parking available and owner lives right next door, in case there is a problem. Not appropriate for families or more then 2 people. Free WiFi is always available and fast, TV works well and owner even provides beach accessories. AC is installed in window but Kihei is quite breezy is August and we were okay just leaving the window open.

My wife and I stayed in this excellent studio for a week in Nov. 2010. It's the perfect choice for one or two people who want to go to Maui to enjoy the outside life and are not looking to spend money on a spiffy place to stay but want a clean, comfortable room with a kitchenette. It is a very clean, very comfortable, very quiet room. The kitchen area has a half-sized fridge, two-burner hotplate, microwave and toaster oven. It has all the cookware you'd need to use all that, plus a blender, coffee maker and rice cooker. All are clean and working as is the bathroom. The linens are also all clean and not worn in the least. There is also some beach stuff like chairs and umbrellas and a couple of coolers. The unit is across the street from a giant park on the ocean, a one-block walk from a great beach and within a couple of blocks of a ton of restaurants, shops, bars, surf lesson places and the supermarket. In short, if you want to be staying in town, this is where you want to be. And because you're going to Maui, you're going to spend the vast majority of your time outside (I hope) so you don't need a lot of space inside. A word about the building: It looks like it might be the kind of place where a lot of younger people might live and party but that's not the case. It's very quiet and clean so, again, another great plus! Also, the owner of the unit, who lives next door, has a cat that often greets you outside on the public walkway in the morning. Say hi to Louie for us!

We stayed here back in March. The bed was so comfortable. Everything was neat and clean.The beach acrossed the street was wonderful to walk over and watch the sun set. Many shops and resturants as well as a grocery store within walking distance. I have bragged this place up. You can't beat the price.

We were so lucky to find this studio to stay in. It was just what we wanted....a clean comfortable place to come back to in the evening, when we had finished our exploring for the day. It was refreshing to swim in the evening in the pool, then take a walk around the neighborhood, which had lots of little shops to look at for souvenirs. We also appreciated a grocery store within walking distance to get breakfast and lunch supplies for the next day. It was handy to use the little cooler provided to pack a lunch in the trunk for nourishment as we explored. I will say, hands down, this is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. If we come back to Maui, this will be the first place we will look to see if the room is available. Thanks!
