We had a lot of fun on our vacation, We watched movies. We went to the beach every day. We went snorkelling for turtles. We went on a ride called da rush. You could boogie board or surf. It was a lot of fun. We also went paddleboarding. - Ethan Thanks for an awesome trip! I had more fun than I thought. Maui is amazing! Hopefully we will be back! Thanks, Skylar

Larry & Sharon; What a pleasure to meet the owners of our home away from home. We walk through the door and there's no more stress! Sure, that is what a vacation is for, but this is special. We've seen whales (always with my camera in the room) but it didn't deter me from attempting! Weather couldn't have been better if we dialed it up and phoned it over, just for us! We feel fortunate to be able to visit Maui....even more so in your lovely condo! Everything we needed was here for our comfort, and the grounds below gave us morning sun every single day! Two weeks of working on our tans will soon be a distant memory. I don't want to go home! I say it everytime we are here. It's impossible to leave paradise but moreover leave our second home - unit 506! We've loved it to pieces and now time to say Mahalo! We'll see you next year!

Thanks so much Larry and Sharon. The place is beautiful and even better than we expected. The upgrades made us feel that we were in a luxury hotel and the view from the condo was a pleasure to wake up to each day. It was equipped with everything we could need for our 6 day stay and we love having snorkel gear and beach chairs available. The staff at the condo was extrememly helpful and kind. The super thick luxury bath towels and high thread count bedding were wonderful. Although, the pull out bed was not very comfy. We watched whales each morning from the lanai and loved having the amazingly large "putting green" lawn to relax on when we didn't want the sandy beaches. We would love to rent this condo unit again in the future and recommend it to our friends. Thank you again!

Owner response:Carol - thanks for your kind words. I will deal with that sofa bed mattress right away. It is only 2 years old, but seems thin. Best - Rosie

"Dear Rosenbergs; We enjoyed the condo very much. The Surfside location on the isle could not be better. We loved the snorkelling and sunsets. This is our first time in the Hawaiian isles for our 25th wedding anniversary. God willing, we are planning a return next year with our two youngest girls, they are excited at the plans. You folks did a great job on your renovations in #506, it was a pleasure to stay here. We found the office staff downstairs very helpful and friendly."

"Dear Larry and Sharon; Mahalo Nui Loa! for the perfect retirement gift. When Wendy and I arrived in 506, we were taken aback by the beauty that we saw surrounding us. The condo is so inviting! We love the interior design, the lighting and all the touches of quality. Then, stepping out onto the lanai, we gasped at the view of paradise and were/are awestruck at the beauty of God's creation here. We loved snorkeling with the turtles and innumerable fishes. We learned, tghrough a couple of instances, to respect the ocean as it caught us off guard a couple of times. Our favorite "eat out" was "The Outlook". Our favorite "take out" was "Da Kitchen" in the Rainbow Mall just down the street...those teriyaki burgers are great! Teriyaki burgers by candlelight on the lanai of 506... can't get better than that!

I had three turtles swimming around me (a Hawaiian told me it was good luck), beautiful coral and a variety of fish. MJ the manager was great too! Take care and hope to be back soon. Mahalo!"

What a spot! We almost stopped beach hopping when we found out that Keawakapu was steps away.We spent four fun filled days here that flew by and we truly enjoyed returning to our "home away from home" each evening. Beach Towels & chairs, an ipod docking station, and a salad spinner - little touches that only added to this absolute piece of paradise. We hope to be back!"

Taylor - My stay here was breathtaking. Thios Condo really makes a honeymoon a honeymoon! My new wife and I have the best memeories you could ask for. Kelsey - As we are packing up our things and getting ready to leave, it is very hard to say goodbye to such a beautiful place. Thank you for extending your "home" to us... we wouldn't have stayed anywhere else. Your condo is absolutely gorgeous and has everything that we would have ever needed. The bathroom and kitchen have given us some ideas of what we would like to do in our new house. Thank you again for providing such a beautiful place to my husband and I. We had an amazing honeymoon and created memeories here that we will treasure forever.

"Three years ago we started a savings account and ca1led it "The Hawaii Fund". Eventually, though we did manage to put away some money, we simply decided to use our tax refund $ and use it on a grand trip to Hawaii! What a fun, lovely trip it has been. Waking up each morning to the sounds of the Pacificand the views of the palm trees can cure whatever might ail the soul. Larry and Sharon, thanks for your generous hospitality; I don't even know you but feel much more than a "customer". There is nothing stingy about the provisions in #506; towels, cookware, spices, linens and comfort. I've already looked at the calendar to see when we can begin thinking about returning. Mahalo!! Warmest regards and abundant gratitude~

There are no words to thank you for sharing this with us.

The condo is very nice, has a great view and is in a good location. We loved the king size bed. The extra beach stuff (towels, beach mats, snorkel) are a nice touch and came in handy. We liked being next to the boat ramp as we took a couple of diving trips. This was our first time on Maui and it was beautiful. We were very comforatable here. Hope to be back soon. Mahalo and Aloha!

Aloha and mahalo. We were celebrating our 26th anniversary. Thanks so much for an awesome home! We felt like we could have stayed forever with all the "extras" that made this condo. We have been to Kihei Surfside in the past in 2005 and 2006! We always stayed in unit #612 and now after staying in in #506 we feel spoiled! We loved the BBQ again and had Hawaiian fish each night that we purchased at Costco. The only thing we had not done on this island after many visits was to go to "Red Sands Beach" past Hana in the Maui revealed book and it was SPECTACULAR!!! We have enjoyed every minute here and look forward to many more Septembers in Hawaii! We hope to bring our grown children next year!

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. We had a very memorable vacation. Your renovation is spectacular. The kitchen is so well equipped it made cooking a pleasure. Like Larry, I first came to the Surfside as a teenager, then with our young family. My husband and I cherish every vacation we have at the Kihei Surfside. This summer our son and his new bride will honeymoon in Maui and of course stay in "506". Thanks for another wonderful vacation; we are already looking forward to our next stay in one of your units. mahalo!

Great renovation! Have been to Maui many times but only stayed at the Kihei Surfside only once before - been trying to get back ever since. This time planned far enough ahead for our 50th anniversary so have enjoyed it doubly - came here after 4 days at the Westin Kaanapali - much prefer Surfside! Hope to be back God willing and if the vog stays away.
