The apartment was perfect for my husband and I! Great walking distance to the beach, shopping, restaurants. Groceries! We had never been to Maui before and had a hard time figuring out best location and we were pleasantly surprised with this place! When we come back we would try to Stay in the same place!

Very well appointed accommodation with beautiful expansive views of the ocean from two balconies. Convenient location to dining, shopping and pubs etc. host was in touch and very responsive. Have never had a rental in Maui that was as well stocked with kitchen and living items.

Had to book this location for a last minute work project and we both were so glad this was available! The location right on the beach and next to multiple food options made the project time enjoyable and less stressful.
Patty's response time was incredibly fast and the resource information she provided once the the booking was completing made the check-in and check-out process seemless. The provided ammenties in the condo were much more than expected and very much appreciated!
The South Maui Garden nursey located directly behind the property is a must see! The food truck options are known to be the best on the Island and after trying all of them while staying there, it was agreed that you must check this garden area out!
Being able to watch sea turtles eat along the shoreline in the morning hours was a great experience and made for really good pictures.
Overall, this is a prime location in Kihei that I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a central location when visiting. Don't hesitate to reach out and make contact with Patty, she will make sure your taken care of! :)

My wife and I have been traveling to Maui for the last decade. We have stayed all over the Island but fell in love with Kihei on our previous trip in 2022. So when we found this listing, we were stoked. It was considerably (40% less) more affordable in 2024 than the place we stayed last time, and the location was very similar to Island Surf. So, going into our stay here, we were pumped.
After our stay, here is our honest assessment:
This unit is in a great location. You can walk/bike to a ton of great things. The tradeoff is that it is across the street from a (beautiful) park with quite a few (15-20) vagabonds. The vagabonds are pleasant and not harmful, but they sometimes ruin the vibe of seeing a guy sleeping on the bench in front of the building. The park also gets loud early in the morning when maintenance workers are cleaning. The unit has a great oceanfront view, and the tradeoff is that it faces not only the sea but also S. Kihei Rd, which is busy until very late. So you may give up some sleep for the view. The apartment itself is spotless, well-maintained, and clean. However, some of the fixtures and appliances are dated. The grill was not working, and the pool was clean, but the grounds were disrepair. The check-in process is excellent, and the management company is helpful. Overall, this is a good value for what you pay. If you are looking for something in a great location, with a view and for a great price you should stay here, just don't expect more.

Everything was perfect. The bed was super comfy. The upgraded air con was quiet and super effective. All appliances were upgraded and worked great. And the views from the balcony were amazing. We will definitely be keeping this bookmarked for future trips. We don’t have one single negative thing to say.

Loved the stay. Only thing was the sofa bed wasn't comfortable to sit on and the air conditioner has a timer with a 3-hour limit so you have to get up in the middle of the night to restart it. Otherwise, the view was the best. amenities, location and ease of rental were excellent. Loved our stay.

The property has been recently updated and is in extremely good shape. Everything has been decorated nicely and all the amenities are there. As the description says, there is a road in between the apartment block and the beach. The view is perfect, but the road is noticeable during the day. It is just something to know if you are expecting to hear the lapping of the waves from the balcony then this is best done during the night.

This place was amazing! The views from both the living room and bedroom were unbelievable. Location could not be better, easily walk to Kihei Cafe (less than 500 feet), Foodland grocery store and/or the food trucks at the Kihei Food Oasis.
Matt was a great host, he is responsive and knowledgeable about things to do & see.
This place is easily the best stocked place we have stayed. Full line of beach equipment and the kitchen had just about everything you could imagine.
Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone going to Maui.

Tons of amenities. Loved the fact that the kitchen had pots, pans, utensils, and good appliances. Bed was so incredibly comfortable and we had good space and the lanai overlooked the local park and a spectacular view of the ocean especially at sunset. Great central location to Wailea (20 min drive), and about a 30 min drive to Kahului. Tons of food trucks for great meals are only a few mins walk. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back.

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.

Our stay was simply amazing! We were awe struck with the views and surrounding area! The condo was perfect for us as adults, but was well appointed for families as well. Every detail was thought of- from daily supplies to beach day needs. Watching the surf school while having morning coffee was a great way to start each day. The location of the condo was convenient to several shops and restaurants, most of which we frequented regularly. We highly recommend you make this your spot to stay while in Maui!

Great Location and nice unit. Actually nicer than in the listing photos/ has a better layout. Was great with our baby as there wasn’t anything he could knock down/ get into. No cockroaches which was nice. So close to all the shops and the water.

This was our first time in Maui and we had an absolutely great stay! We came for our honeymoon and this was the perfect unit for 2 people! Though they do provide a blow up mattress and you can easily fit another 2 people in living room area. I can’t get over how convenient the location was! It is walking distance to many (amazingly good) food trucks and restaurants, grocery store and beaches! The unit also provides anything you may need for a warm sunny day at the beach (snorkel, boogie boards, chairs and coolers). The views from both lanais are stunning and we loved watching the surfers in the morning with our coffee! Matt and Colleen were easy to communicate with and were even able to pull off an early check in for us! We had the absolute best time and plan to come back to this unit! Maholo, Matt and Colleen!

The description was accurate , good location in Kihei. The bottom floor was under major construction which would of been nice to know as it was very noisy during the day . overall very clean with the exception of the floors, while you couldn't see dirt they have not been mopped, Your feet were visibly dirty walking from the shower to the bedroom. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was awesome. Overall a great place and appropriately priced.

Linda’s condo was in such a perfect location. Nice view of the water, quick access to all the best beaches in Kihei and walkable to places to eat and drink. There were some surprises during our stay such as construction and building maintenance which I wish we were informed about ahead of time. But all things considered it was still a great stay!

Gorgeous condo! The view is stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice. Condo is very clean and well stocked, has everything you could need including beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas. Plenty of parking! Walkable to many restaurants and super close to great beaches. We had an issue our first day and Steve was very prompt in communicating with us and resolving the situation. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again without hesitation!

Overall this stay was satisfactory, the location was great and easy to get to nearby beaches for sunsets and snorkeling. There is currently some construction in the downstairs shops so you have to use the rear entrance and this causes problems if you plan to stay indoors all day but its Maui so if you plan to be out during construction hours then you are OK. We brought up some concerns with the property manager and they were very responsive so overall i can recommend this place especially when construction ends. Property also includes everything in the kitchen one might need, chairs and a nice umbrella for the beach, a cooler and icepacks and a split system AC which was a great addition as some places just dont have.

This property is the optime of location, location, location. It's across the street from a park and has wonderful views. Across the street is an affordable place to rent a surf board for the day. Excellent food trucks next to and behind the condo building. Pool area is very nice.The negatives of our stay were the construction on the first floor and the cockroaches in the unit.

This unit is beautiful! Clean, fresh & views you cannot beat! With the two lanai’s you can see nothing but palm trees and blue water! The location is great! Restaurants and shops within a short walk! Beaches close by as well if you haven’t rented a car. The condo is very well stocked and has extras such as beach towels and chairs. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and had an amazing week. The main floor (shops/businesses) is under construction but the progress we saw in our week already looks great! Didn’t disrupt anything for us. Ample parking in the back lot. Felt safe here. We hope to stay again very soon! Mahalo to the owners! Highly recommend!!

WOW! We just came back from our first time on Maui (and first VRBO booking) and we could not be happier with our experience with Pam and Doug's beautiful property. Pam checked in with us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The unit itself is filled with amenities (laundry detergent, so many different kitchen utensils, seasonings, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc) that we didn't even expect. It was SO nice having AC and a washer/dryer. The lanai was so wonderful to sit at and look at the ocean. There is a pretty busy street between the building and the ocean, but the noise didn't really bother us. There was some construction going on in the apartment building on the first floor, but nothing that really deterred from our experience. I think the most impressive part of this booking is the location. It is right in the middle of Kihei, walkable to so many different restaurants and a grocery store, with a food truck park in the LITERAL backyard. I would 100% stay here again, and would highly recommend. I was skeptical of the perfect rating, but after our stay I agree. Thank you Pam and Doug!

Our stay at Maui Ocean View in Kihei was awesome! The check in process was a breeze. The place had a gorgeous ocean view and was conveniently located. We were close enough to Kihei to walk downtown and enjoy the restaurants and shopping. The place was spotless and the extra beach supplies are a nice bonus. If you stay, make sure you walk across the street to watch the sunset and see the turtles. We would stay here again!

We had a great stay in Matt and Colleen's condo. The Condo is spacious with beautiful views of the ocean from the many large windows.
The condo is well kitted out and has all you need for a beach vacation. The bed is very comfortable and we were able to catch up on sleep in the week. We had coffee on the mani each morning but it's a short walk to many coffee shops and restaurants.
Communication with Matt was stellar. Would highly recommend if you are thinking of staying in Kihei.

Me and my partner really enjoyed our stay at this property. This was a great alternative to staying at a hotel/resort. The condo featured great amenities which made it very easy to cook, clean, and enjoy our time. They provided us with all the necessary cooking supplies (pots, pans, coffee maker, etc.) The host also had many staple ingredients that complimented any shopping that we did (spices, cooking oil, condiments, etc).Additionally, the apartment was located in the heart of Kihei. It was across the street from a public beach and park. Close to some great restaurants and shopping options. All around would book again!

This property is as pictured. The condo is clean and location is perfect. It’s close (walking distance) to the beach, grocery store, and restaurants, coffee shops. There’s a surfing lesson place and lots of food trucks nearby.
It was perfect for a family of 4. I would definitely rent from Linda again.

We enjoyed everything about our stay, the place was very inviting, and Patty was a wonderful host. There’s nothing better than enjoying a cup of coffee on the lanai while watching the morning surfers. With the beach park across the street, food truck park and gardens around the corner, grocery store and restaurants nearby, not to mention several beaches down the street, this is a perfect location for a relaxing vacation.

First time visiting Hawaii and was not disappointed with the location. There's a lot of construction going on but ease to beach locations was perfect. I will say that I had to wash all silverware, a few of the dishes and the frying pans prior to use. Also, need to take care of the curtains in the bedroom as the hall lights basically keep the bedroom bright throughout the night. Nothing that will keep us from returning.
