About this property

Tropical luxury at South Maui Surf Shack

South Maui Surf Shack is located in Maui Kamaole. New renovations (Feb 2022 & both baths December 2023) 1bed (king) 2bath + Murphy bed (queen), beach style condo, over 1050 sq feet! With our fully stocked kitchen, you have the ability to cook your meals or head to any of the restaurants nearby in Kihei or Wailea (we are on the border). You are in the center of it all with the best beaches & golf courses Maui has to offer. We are here to help with absolutely anything you need to make your trip memorable, fun & relaxing!

South Maui Surf Shack, Unit B110, is the largest 1 bedroom floor plan in Maui Kamaole complex, over 1050 sq ft of living space. It is a 1st floor, ground level unit so no flights of stairs to carry your luggage or groceries up.

When you walk through the front door, you will be greeted with a bright, open room. Plenty of space for a couple, a family or a group of friends. The living room is enormous and there is plenty of space on the oversized sectional for you to snuggle up on and watch the 75 inch TV. (South Maui Surf Shack provides basic cable, internet service and a smart TV. We cannot guarantee you will be able to hook up to any of the thousands of Apps available.)

Wake up to the sounds of tropical birds & head over to your in-house, fully stocked coffee & tea bar! It is guests' favorite at South Maui Surf Shack.
FYI Maui is known to grow some of the best coffee in the world!

There is a large, lush lanai with partial ocean views through the double sliding doors right off the living room. Sit on the cozy outdoor furniture drinking your coffee, looking at the ocean.
Don't forget sunsets on Maui are quite the event! Grab your adult beverage & walk 30 yards straight off your lanai & watch the sun set from the top of the hill.

The Master bedroom also has a tropical, secluded lanai with a large sliding door to let in a cool nights breeze.
The master suite is extremely spacious, private and airy with a king size bed and a relaxing beach vibe. Attached to the master suite is also a bathroom with a shower/tub combo (completely redone in December 2023)

All of our mattresses, bed linens and bath linens are luxury bamboo from Cariloha (store is located in Shops Of Wailea & all of our guests will have a discount code and be able to receive 20% all orders)

We chose a Murphy bed because nobody is comfortable on a pull out couch!
You will wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the days activities after a fantastic nights sleep.

Another bonus to this spacious condo, there is a second full bath in the main part of the condo (completely redone in December 2023).
This gives couples, families or a small group of friends, the space and privacy they need!

South Maui Surf Shack gets an excellent cross breeze! Leave the sliding doors open and you will have that fabulous ocean breeze running through the entire space keeping you cool.

The property is 23 acres of tropical, beautifully manicured grounds. Maui Kamaole has 2 swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts and is the best complex in Kihei.

The condo has a fully stocked kitchen with new stainless appliances (June 2022), coffee & tea bar, new full size in-unit laundry, ceiling fans and AC and many other amenities included.

We provide you with an abundance of extras to make your stay even better...toilet paper, paper towels, sunscreen, beach gear, full size shampoo/conditioner, full size laundry soap etc. We don't give you a "starter pack", you're here on vacation, we don't want you to lose precious beach time because you had to go buy toilet paper. Our kitchen is stocked with everything from olive oil and spices to zip lock bags and aluminum foil.

The best of all, we ask you to do NOTHING at check-out!
No need to start laundry, strip the beds or start the dishwasher.
We rather you enjoy your last morning relaxing before your travel day, we'll handle the rest :)

Even better than the first amazing visit
We were happy to be able to return to the surf shack for a second consecutive year this spring break. Such a great spot for all sorts of reasons: pool a short walk away, great lanais, so much space for our family to move about and a very thoughtfully equipped condo to make all your Maui needs easily addressed. Would highly recommend and hope to return again!

Amazing Vacation Rental
This was by far the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. The condo is attractive, spacious, comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. Cleanliness was exceptional. The lana’i is private, with comfortable furniture and a great peak of the ocean. The hosts provide everything needed (and more) for an exceptional stay. This was our first visit to Maui and our first Christmas away from home. Jes went above and beyond, giving us recommendations, a thoughtful welcome package and even set up a Christmas tree. I highly recommend this rental, and would 100% rent again.

Best condo ever.
This is hands down the best equipped, most lovely and well laid out rental we've had the pleasure of staying in, certainly in Kihei and likely on all our travels. Everything has been thought through, is well organized and curated to make your trip effortless. Easily better set up than our house! And the space is so lovely with lots orlf room toove around and be outside, with easy access to Kam 3 and Keawakapu beaches. Would recommend to anyone with 3-4 people in their group and perfect for our family of 3. Pools on site are nearby and BBQs aplenty. Hope to return here again and again!

We were fortunate to be able to spend three weeks at South Surf Snack and there isn’t one thing that we would change. Jes and Pete, provided everything we needed to make it our home away from home. You cannot beat the location with the ocean across the street along with plenty of walking paths. We started and ended each day on the lovely lanai listening to the birds. It was an easy walk into town where we would grab coffee, food and treats. Both pools on the property were well maintained and we found our fellow vacationers/owners friendly. We always felt safe and secure. Landscaping was beautiful. There were many beaches that we visited within a short drive. We felt safe and secure throughout our stay. We could go on and on… we felt like we were in paradise and we hope to return next year. We highly recommend vacationing here, you won’t regret it!

Nice Apartment, Great Location
This is a very nice apartment with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. We enjoyed sitting at the outside patio and watching the birds. The washer/dryer were pretty new and were very nice to have. Jes was quick to respond to queries.

About the host

Hosted by Jes Kelly

Host profile image
My husband (Pete) and I moved to Kihei 7 years ago from Chicago after vacationing here for 15+ years. We absolutely love Maui and are so incredibly fortunate to be able to call this island “home”. To be able to share our condo & love for the island with our guests is icing on the cake.

Why they chose this property

South Maui Surf Shack is prepared for you with the same love and care as our own home is. Guests are treated with the same hospitality our friends and family are. We truly love hosting and we hope that every guest that stays in our condo knows this. We take pride in being hosts.
All the cleaning, maintenance and management is done by us. We live 5 minutes away and are able to be there quickly if our guests need anything.
Our goal is to make you feel right at home and fall in love with this little slice of heaven in paradise, as we once did when we were guests.

We provide you with an abundance of extras to make your stay even better...toilet paper, paper towels, sunscreen, beach gear, full size shampoo/conditioner, full size laundry soap etc. We don't give you a "starter pack", you're here on vacation, we don't want you to lose precious beach time because you had to go buy toilet paper.
The best of all, we ask you to do NOTHING at check-out. No need to start laundry, strip the beds or start the dishwasher, we rather you enjoy your last morning relaxing before your travel day, we'll handle the rest :)

What makes this property unique

The first thing that attracted us to this condo was the complex itself, Maui Kamaole.
20+ acres of lush, manicured grounds perfectly located across the street from the ocean in South Maui. Quiet and extremely well maintained, with two pools and tennis courts. After you spend some time and see the island, you quickly realize South Maui is where you want to be.
South Maui Surf Shack is conveniently a ground floor unit so our guests don't have to drag luggage up any stairs.
We walked in and fell in love with the extra large, bright and airy floor plan and beautiful hardwood floors. Being a corner unit, there is an extra window in addition to an entire wall of sliding glass doors that opens up to a large, tropical lanai with peekaboo ocean views. The refreshing ocean breeze flowing through the condo is luxurious. The master bedroom also has a large, secluded lanai just outside another wall of glass sliding doors. 2 full baths to accommodate up to 4 guests at a time.
In our eyes this condo was perfect and we couldn't wait to share it with our guests.
