Cute place with a wonderful view

We had a wonderful stay here. Communication with the owner was great, the area has a nice little food truck parking lot with a ton of great options. The view is amazing, right across the ocean. A lot of great parks nearby and there was plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely perfect

The unit was exactly as described in the listing. The view from the lanai is stunning. Location is so convenient. South Maui Gardens is right behind the building. Multiple restaurants, convenience stores, and a grocery store within a less than five minutes walk. I also cannot say enough positive about the host. Communication was top notch and they are so friendly. Checked in with us multiple times throughout our ten day stay simply asking if everything was up to our expectations and if there were any issues. If I could give both the condo and the boats a ten star rating, I definitely would. This was our first time in Maui, and definitely will not be our last. We will definitely stay in this same unit when we return. Do not hesitate to book this unit with complete confidence. Convenient, clean, furnished beautifully, fantastic area, easy parking, great communication. I simply do not know what else anyone could possibly want for a vacation rental. 10/10 will be back.

Beautiful View with a Central Location

The property is within walking distance of so much/ groceries, beach, park, bar, shopping, coffee, restaurants etc. The view from the deck was great. It can be a little noisy on the deck during the day, but didn’t bother us as we were usually out during the day. Had a separate AC unit in the bedroom which was a lifesaver for us. Plenty if space for the two of us. We’d stay again.

Not the "Aloha" Experience We Hoped For

I told the host I'd give a fair account of our experience at this condo. There is no malcontent here, just what we experienced. This condo would be perfect in Myrtle Beach, SC, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's what it is: old, run-down, smells bad, on the intersection of two roads (so not on the beach), and just, blah. Now, if you read through reviews, you'll see a pattern where people will share about how the condo was dirty, or there were insects or the place just felt grimy, and the host will say things like, "Well, you're on a tropical island" or "We have the condo professionally cleaned with pictures to prove it" and those comments are well and good, but the fact is there was hair in the shower and sink (sent pictures) and we found fleas in the mattress cover (took pictures and left on a paper towel for proof), and it just smells really old. Of course, we got the same responses as others who have stayed here, so clearly there is a pattern. Either there needs to be a new company hired to clean the condo, a complete reno of the place, or a willingness to work with people who paid lots of money to walk into an unhomely condo. We booked four nights but got out after 2. No refund offered (to be expected once you read all the reviews) but worth it to not stay there another 2 nights. Again, if you're cool with paying good money for a run-down, leave you feeling dirty condo, then you'll have no problems. But there are too many other places to stay in Kihei!

Great Condo located in the heart of Kihei. Beaches, parks, shops, restaurants and bars. Great view of ocean with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Our hosts, Ligia and Mike couldn’t have been better. Our first nite we had problems with the TV set. The next morning they showed up with a brand new 65 inch set. Ligia would text every few days to check if all was well and see if we needed anything. Great hosts, great Condo!

Great view and location

The best features of this property is location and view. I think this is the only 6 story building in the area and is designed with all units to have an ocean view. Since this unit is on the top floor, the ocean view was the best! We enjoyed watching surfers, both experienced and beginners in surf school, from our lanai. The location is adjacent to shops, restaurants, and bars. The building lower level has shops including a great deli and a convenience store.it also has good off street parking. The owner was very responsive to questions or problems we had.

There were benoculars to see the whales from the lanai as well as chairs to use at the beach. She's thought of everything. Add to that the location is perfect with a beautiful view and walking distance to so many of our favorite restaurants. Thank you for an awesome visit. We'll be back.

Beautiful views, great location!

This penthouse condo provided an excellent home away from home during our 9 day stay. Every morning we were able to look out at the ocean and the surfers before walking to breakfast. The location can't be beat! The condo itself is beautiful, and we found it included everything we needed during our stay. The owner is so thoughtful, and really wants to make sure that you are comfortable. She made our stay wonderful! When returning to Maui, I would not stay anywhere else! I have already recommended it to friends, as it is the best condo I have stayed in! Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.

Great condo, well situated and wonderful view

We really enjoyed staying at Ligia's condo. It was exactly as advertised. The location in Kihei was perfect - close to restaurants and shops with plenty of free parking. The view was wonderful, the bed was comfortable and we felt at home in the apartment. Ligia was very responsive and helpful. We even managed to lock our selves out of the apartment and Ligia got back to me almost immediately and we were back in the apartment before we knew it! Thank you Ligia for helping make our stay on Maui memorable. We would definitely stay at your place again.

A lovely touch was the chilled wine and chilled glasses left for us in the frig. We wish there were more dishes, glasses and cups.

Friendly Condo Owner

The condo owner is probably the best thing about this place! She's reachable anytime you have a question or concern and goes above and beyond to ensure you get the most from your vacation. Her unit is on the 6th floor, which is above power lines and provides a nice view. Also farthest (up) from traffic noise. (the singular common complaint of visitors to Island Surf). Overall, a quality stay.
