Luxury Oceanfront 2 Bedroom 2 Bath Penthouse

This 2 BR 2 bath condo was just perfect for our group. We rented this property and another 2 floors below. We loved the corner location and the panoramic views of ocean and volcano. The recent remodel makes the place both attractive and functional. The large kitchen provided opportunities for breakfast and the large refrig held all of our Costco booty. We cooked on the community gas bbq most nights. It's a great opportunity to meet and talk with other guests. The beds are comfortable and the fans help to keep the bedrooms (especially needed in the small bedroom) tolerable. . At night, we left the doors open to both bedrooms to maximize the effect of the ocean breezes. The breeze cools the living room in the evening, especially when the front door is left open! The condo is well appointed and we love the Kihei Surfside location. The whole complex is comfortable without being pretentious. Beach towels and beach chairs and umbrellas are in the apartment for your use. And we loved having our own washer and dryer. No problems with check-in and we received prompt responses to our questions before arriving. Breakfast on the lanai is a great way to start the day, and sunset on the resort grounds is a wonderful way to finish. One note, the birds get quite frisky at sunrise and sunset. And there is a feral rooster who makes it his job to sound the sunrise alarm at about 4:20 a.m. A good set of ear plugs will serve you well. We'll definitely be back!

What a super time we had at Kihei Surfside, unit 614! The unit is spacious and you can't beat it's view! It was incredible to wake up each morning and enjoy a coffee out on the lanai, taking in the sunrise and water views. The photos of the unit are spot on. A walk across the lawn to the trail makes a journey to the restaurants and shops in Kihei easy and quick. As mentioned, the back bedroom was the warmest room in the condo but ceiling and portable fans helped to keep the temperature down enough for a good night's sleep. Our only feedback would be that it would be nice if the day-to-day supplies were a little more abundant, such as; dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, kitchen items like saran, tinfoil, baggies, etc. especially given the $ paid per/night for the stay. It is always so convenient and appreciated when you don't have to stock up on a supply of 'essentials/staples'. We had brought a few such items with us and it is a good thing we did. A beach umbrella and a couple of chairs were provided ~ boogie boards and a cooler would have been an added bonus to use on our daily trips to Keawakapu Beach, only a few steps away! Overall, an amazing place to stay on Maui!

Great accomodation. Good access to restaurants and services.

We really loved our stay at the Kihei Surfside, Unit 614. The unit was as represented in the photos. The owner was a gem to deal with. All questions were promptly answered. The unit was well equipped. The no A/C made sleeping in the second bedroom a challenge for the kids, but we managed. We were in Maui, after all. The location in Kihei was wonderful. It was far enough away to be quiet and peaceful, but certainly close enough to the action. The lawn at the Kihei Surfside is amazing; a great place to watch the sunset, or play shuffle board. You can even check out corn hole (aka bags) and glow in the dark bocce balls. The pool was inviting and very clean. We were steps away from Keawankapu Beach, which was great for sunbathing, snorkeling and boogie boarding. It was truly a fantastic visit.

This unit "worked" for our family of four. Corner unit allowed for cross-breezes and we needed all the air movement possible since it was rather toasty during our early August stay (no AC). Plenty of fans, too. Appreciated that folks left behind sugar, oils, etc for meal prep. Unit could have come with a little more TP and laundry soap for a 9-night stay. The loudest thing about the property were the morning birds, and we loved the scent of the blooms on the trees below. Pool was little but dip-worthy. It was fun to watch folks play various games on the lawn below as the sun went down. Waking up to the ocean view in master bedroom was fantastic! Indoor/outdoor furniture looked hip but was not comfy. At all.

Unit has some beach chairs and gear. Go to building next door to rent (more) snorkels, boards, etc. as soon as you arrive and start living the sand-in-your-suit lifestyle. Next door also has good-sized market with ready-made picnic food, booze, etc. And a restaurant with an awesome happy hour. Watch out for their "discount coupon" scheme, tho. They would not discount 3 of our 4 dinners.

The unit''s code entry lock worked great-flawless. Good thing bc the guy at the "front desk" (very limited hours) had zero charisma. Hey, dude, you are in Paradise! Perk the heck up!

Building has recycle station (must-have for this Oregon family) and unit had a good-sized laptop/camera safe. Read the unit's guest book upon arrival for activity and food suggestions. Don't know if the TVs work-we never turned them on.
