Reviewer Comments:
The Ma'alaea condos are situated right on the beach, the surf no more than 60 feet away! This is really unusual and delightful. They have a pool, that we never used... the Pacific Ocean is literally 60 feet away, although the sandy bottom provides little incentive for fish and other creatures to congregate. For that you have to go elsewhere. The condo is nicely situated in a fairly quiet neighborhood, with a first-class local bakery within walking distance. Restaurants are a bit further away, but that is quite OK. Long walks on the beach can get you to such places, or drive; Kihei is full of good and interesting eating-places, no more than 10 minutes from the Condo.The Condo is in itself, a bit "old Fashioned", although nothing essential was missing; the bed was good, the water hot enough, the TV a tad small, but well insulated both in terms of temperature and noise, and with a view "to die for". It simply does not get any better than that!The one thing we found missing was an opportunity to charge our electric rental car, i.e. "old fashioned". We heard that some other condo complexes do provide 110 V outlets that the charger in the car could have used. Not so at the Ma'alaea resort. An on-site manager actually came out to chastise me that I was attempting to find a "hot" outlet. We had the note displayed, approving our parking privileges, so there was nothing circumspect about what we were doing. No level II charger is needed, but due to the lack of public chargers on Maui, the level I charge could have done all kinds of good.Would I recommend the place to friends and or family? Absolutely, but I would also recommend that they go "old fashioned" and rent an internal combustion car.

We've visited Maalaea Surf Resort several times during the last five years. We like the resort's location at an uncrowded, very walkable and extensive beach, it's low density architecture and good landscaping. We had previously stayed at units C4 and mostly H2, which we liked very much. We generally enjoyed our last stay at unit A2, esp. it's beachfront setting. But unlike H2, it did have an unpleasant moldy odor, which persisted even with strong cross ventilation. We suspect that it came from the carpets covering most of the floor. We would also suggest to improve the lighting for better reading, next to the sofa. The tagging with reminders was a bit overdone, and for our taste the unit was somewhat overdecorated. But everything considered, we would recommend it to friends.

We enjoyed another stay at A2. The location can't be beat. The condo was updated with some new furnishings since the last time we were here. Management is very responsive and helpful. The price has increased significantly, which I understand given the economy and recent flooding to the units. However, I was surprised that the price per night of this one bedroom unit was the same as the two bedroom unit next door.

Lovely location very private, low key and amazing views. Property grounds were well maintained. Pool was dirty and unusable for week we were there. Pool lounge chairs very basic. Actual rental unit was fair. Small ants were throughout bathroom all week. LOTS of rules and directions posted prominently throughout condo. Boardroom right very stained and dirty. Sofa and bed uncomfortable. We went to Target and bought sheets. Nice new floor in main area. Again- go for amazing walk out to ocean lanai.

Reviewer Comments:
This was my third visit to Maui and by far my favorite. We decided to stay in Kihei due to the convenient location (45 mins max drive to any major tourist destination). The only downfall of this place is that there aren’t many restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Also the washer/dryer situation was an issue in multiple buildings but still happy to have onsite laundry. That’s definitely the trade off for being right on the beach for an affordable price. Met the owner and/or building manager (Lydia) on the last day and she was super nice. We really appreciated the late checkout due to our very late flight. Thank you!

We had a wonderful 8 days at Ma'alaea Surf. We have been several times in the past and missed it this last year as we, like the rest of the world, had to pause. Returning was a little slice of normal. Resort is beautiful, well maintained and perfectly located. We love it!!

This property is ocean front, literally steps from the beach and warmly decorated (feels like home) and the kitchen is very well equipped with all you will need. You can easily tell the owners take pride in their condo. It is clean and up-dated. The property managers are extremely friendly and are an asset to the property.

The 1 bedroom condo was spacious and nicely furnished it had everything we needed and had regular service to supply us with plenty of clean towels. Two pools and the ocean just a few feet from our patio! Can it get any better than this? Centrally located between Lahaina and Wialea!

Our 4th time at the "Surf"! Once again, the location cannot be beat, the apartment was well furnished and impeccably kept clean by the friendly staff. Three mile walks on a beautiful clean beach every morning started the day and just got better from there. Bit of a drive to the good restaurants but worth it. We'll be back!

This is the second time that we have stayed in Unit A-2 and the third time at the Maalaea Surf Resort. We love the closeness to the ocean. The ocean is just yards from your patio door. The beach and ocean go on for miles and are uncrowded. The furnishings are comfortable and everything is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The barbecue area is very close. There are two pools to choose from and laundry facilities, which is great because you don't have to pack so much. The location of the Maalaea Surf Resort is great and centrally located to get to all the different areas of the island. You have Wailea to the south and Kaanapali and Kapalua to the north. It's also the closest area to get back to the Hana Highway side of the island and the volcano and the upcountry.
