This condo was perfect for our stay. The proximity to the beach meant never missing a gorgeous sunset. Host was very easy to reach when needed which made the process very smooth!

The condo is accurately described and pictured. It had everything we needed and the views were spectacular. The pool and park are lovely and the long stretch of beach is one of the best on Maui. We would love to come back!

Great views and everything you need for a South Maui vacation.

This place has a fantastic west-facing view for incredible sunsets! It's right on the water, and perfect for two people. Or even potentially three or four, since there are two toilets, two sinks (one full size shower), and a fold-out sofa-bed in the living room. My fiancé and I slept on on the fold-out one night just to listen to the waves. Other nights, we slept on the big, comfy, king-sized bed.
From the building, you can walk about 20 yards to the south to a warm, public sand beach. While we were swimming there, a giant sea turtle swam by us! You won't likely find a better price for the caliber of location on Maui. It doesn't have A/C or a jacuzzi, but who cares? You can just open the big sliding glass lanai doors and window, and let the trade winds cool you down. There's also a sparkling clean swimming pool with communal gas BBQs next to it, and a big beautiful lawn with palm trees and plenty of chairs for sunset-gazing.
Other amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, two TV sets (one living room, one bedroom), zippy WiFi, and parking right in front of the building. There's on-site coin-op laundry, garbage and recycling, and a small book library. There's also an 808 Market/Deli in the building across the street, very handy for munchies and sundries.
Lots of snorkeling tours leave from the Kihei boat ramp, and you can pretty much walk to the ramp from this building. It's also a very short drive into Kihei or Wailea. Can't wait to return!

The Surfside Kihei is a six story building located right on the water on the south end of Kihei, close to Wailea. The complex is well maintained, with a spectacular ocean views and an easy walk to the beach. There's also a nice pool and BBQ area that are immaculately maintained. The biggest downside is that the property was noisier than we expected. Evidently May - Sept is the "low season" on Maui and that's when the condo allows owners to renovate their units. Some days it was quite loud cat times with noise from saws, drills, fork lifts, hammering and general construction noise. If you're sensitive to sounds and want a quiet, serene setting, be aware this complex is rather loud, at least May - Sept. Having said that, the unit is beautiful, the sunset views are amazing, and the beach and snorkeling are fabulous.

My husband and I had a great stay. View from the balcony is beautiful, and the resort area is very nice. Place was very clean and has good furnishings. Walking distance to beautiful beach and secluded from busier places nearby. Only thing to keep in mind is no AC currently, but not really needed in Maui!

We enjoyed the location very much. Beautiful view, turtles everywhere and the park was a joy. Our only complaint is the mattress needs an upgrade. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Amazing location, incredible views!!! Cute place, king bed and pullout sofa were perfect for our family of 3. The views and hearing the waves crashing onshore make this place really special. Larry’s place is comfortable, well stocked and the extra 1/2 bath made it a win traveling w our teenage daughter.
Sunset BBQ dinners and the oceanfront pool makes this place SO much better than the upscale hotels and restaurants just down the road in Wailea. The Yoga Studio next door offered morning class on the beach - bonus! Kam 3 Beach is wide with the softest sand and fairly uncrowded.
Beach chairs, cooler, snorkel gear and boogie boards plus lots of other games, and useful things to have on vacation were much appreciated.
We’d love to book again, when we come back to Maui. Thanks, Larry!

This VRBO was very accurately described and depicted. I would say it is everything they advertise. It's very clean and an excellent view from suite 404. The suite is very well appointed with enough pots and pans and dishes and snorkeling snorkeling and boogie boarding and even instead of golf clubs for your use you're used. There's some Beach shells and beach chairs as well,
Parking was easy and we always had a spot. Our family had a great time and we would recommend this place to Anyone.

The place delivered so much more than the description, spacious with great trade wind flow through fresh air, well appointed kitchen, two excellent BBQs (cleaned daily), amazing outlook with beautiful sunsets, well kept property with some of the best snorkelling. We’re looking forward to our next stay.

Amazing view of the ocean when you walk in. This VRBO went above and beyond our expectations. Easy access to the beach, VRBO provided beach umbrella, plenty of towels, everything you need. Nice quiet location with amazing views.

The location is great - central and close to airport, day trip to Haleakala, day trip to west coast area. The place is exactly as pictured. The view amazing. Loved hearing the waves crash all night, and the roosters in the morning. The grassy area outside is great to walk around and sit on the benches. Check out the bird feeder, some cool birds that look like they belong in a pet store. Sandy beach around the corner, wish we had more time there.

The location is perfect for those who want immediate access to the beach. Swimming and snorkeling are a few steps away. The view is nothing short of amazing. Some of the items in the unit felt old (chair cushions) or poor quality (bedding, pull out couch, rice cooker, etc.). Not a good spot for someone looking for a little luxury or a romantic spot. However, totally perfect if you are looking for a low key spot to cook your own meals while enjoying the beach. The beach next door was one of my favorite on the whole island. It is also far less busy than many other beaches, likely because it is not in town and does not have many hotels on it. It is lined with condos/ homes instead. Much of the beach is perfect sandy bottom but the one end has rocks and coral with some fair snorkeling. It is also very near to Wailea and the shopping / beach opportunities there. Oh, and did I mention the view!!!

It was our first visit to Maui and we are really glad we took a friend’s advice and booked at Surfside. The condo had enough room for us (an adult family of four) and I was really glad our 20-something daughters had their own bathroom. It did get warm in the rooms at times since there’s no air conditioning, but opening the windows for the afternoon winds helped cool the rooms. We had no problem finding parking each day arriving at all hours. Roosters were a very early wake up alarm daily beginning around 4 am (the office offers earplugs for the noise- no joke). The condo did have extras like games, videos, and swim equipment. The shoreline in front of the building is lava stones, nice for exploring the tide pools but not for swimming . Fast responses by owner and simple check-in. Would book again!

After booking we received information, communication, and directions for upcoming stay. We received welcome messages upon arrival and departure. We walked into the condo and the view was breathtaking and just perfect setup of with furniture and amenities. Kitchen is upgraded with every kitchen item necessary to cook a 7 course meal. Sleeping and hearing waves crash is nothing we get at home. Every night we watched the sun go down in front of our balcony. We snorkled nearby with all the equipment necessary. We cannot wait to return again!

We have stayed at this property at least a dozen times over the last 30 years. We appreciate the updated units as well as the recent building improvement (new windows). We love the view of the water and West Maui; every unit has this amazing vista. Gorgeous lawn becomes a gathering place not only for guests but for locals, too, to watch the sunset. The property has a very low key, causal vibe which may not be for everyone who wants more of a resort experience. The property to the south of the Kihei Surfside has a bit more action with a bar/restaurant, watersport rentals, yoga studio, and a beautiful beach with good snorkeling, This is just steps away. Our unit (404) was nicely updated had all the kitchen equipment necessary. The bathrooms did not feel recently updated but did not bother us. No AC. Only issue we had were the roosters crowing starting in the wee hours. Never experienced this before at this property. Management said they were trying to address this problem.
