Pros:The location is great, across the street from a beach and a quick drive to restaurants and shopping. Has a well-maintained pool and hot tub.I felt safe to stay as a lone female traveler with my daughter.Cons:I am cool with older, modest accommodations but at least need it clean :/The rental was VERY dirty upon entering. All the dishes in the cabinets were dirty (actual food on them, coffee in the bottom of cups, weird fluid on the champagne glasses.) I had to wash all the dishes, cups, and utensils before we could use them. We had to sweep and clean floors from spills and dirt.The bed had hairs on it. We had to dust off as the laundry on site was not open to wash.The fans in the bathroom, above the bed, and the box fan that blows on you bedside have super caked-on dust and dirt.The bed frame is busted so the 2 pieces of frame slide apart and you have to push them back every day so you don't roll in the middle.There was no parking pass.We reached out to the host to inform them of the cleanliness and missing pass as we didn't want to be towed/get a ticket or be charged for things that were broken or dirty. We sent picsThey told us to write the unit # on a paper and put it in the car in lieu of the pass. We asked if there could be a partial refund due to having to clean the unit ourselves-the only offer regarding the cleaning was to have the on-island gal come and sweep the floors.They did not work with VRBO support regarding this either.

The location was great. Right across the street was a sweet, quiet beach with an artificial break water that has become a delightful reef. Great for snorkelling and the turtles were always there.The bed was a king and very comfortable.The kitchenette was sufficiently stocked although only 1 tea towel was left and no pot holders or oven mitts. Cleanliness was good. However, a mat at the balcony door would be useful as a lot of sand blows in onto the balcony floor then tracked in. The fans need a good clean and the one in the bathroom had a bad smell coming from it.There were many nice amenities like masks and snorkels, beach chair and umbrellas, and chilly bins to take to the beach. Tourist info and maps were appreciated. Parking was always obtained right outside the unit. It could be very noisy as the unit faces a very busy street. We enjoyed our stay.

Great location and great place for a couple. It’s as described. Right across the street from the beach offering superb sunsets. Comfy place that’s well stocked with spices, tp, paper towels - all the things you usually have to buy at a VRBO. We never got a location from VRBO (no “here are you keys” email), but the host replied immediately upon our message. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a very good stay, and everything was just the way it was descried. Thank you for the pineapple, the drinks, the box of candy! We enjoyed the clean pool, tennis court, and hot tub. The parking was great. The beach next door across the street was divine. We could walk there everyday. Thank you for the use of the beach towels, bags, beach chairs, The kitchen was cute, and contained many items we needed. A slow cooker wouldhave been a great item to add. We enjoyed the coffee maker and special coffee's. We enjoyed our stay completely, and would love to come back some day. We will recommend to all our friends too.

We had an amazing first trip to Maui…we will definitely be back!
The accommodations and location were perfect.
We really appreciated having a kitchen that we used for breakfast every morning before heading out on our next adventure.
The cooler provided was handy as we often packed some lunch, snacks and drinks for the day so that we didn’t have to leave the beach.
There is a park with a great beach for families with little kids right across the road. We were able to see turtles there several evenings!
The communication was great right from the moment we booked our stay.
We would gladly stay here again on our next visit.

#109 in Kihei Bay Surf was a nice, clean studio in a convenient location across the street from the Humpback Whale Foundation. Studio was well clean and exactly as shown. It is a ground floor studio and faces South Kiheo street so traffic noise is a bit loud but not too concerning. Pool and hot tub very nice with a bbq area as well. Studio was perfect for two people and could accomodate a small family (3) if needed. I would recommend this studio in Kihei but you do need a car to get to shopping, restaurants, other beaches and airport.

Nice property with good parking, pool, and hot tub. Convenient location, beach adjacent. The only downside is that the unit faces directly onto Kihei Road, the busy highway leading into Kihei. This made for continuous traffic noise making it hard to enjoy the balcony.

The location of the property was just perfect for what me and my family were looking for. The whole week we had absolutely loved the location. Right across from the beach where we could enjoy early mornings and evenings with our toddler. My only complaint is the hot water running out quickly between myself my husband and our daughter we had to wait at least 15-20 minutes before getting more hot water so the next person could shower. Other than that we had an enjoyable stay and would definitely come back again.

Cons: Room 144, couldn't really open the drapes all the way because it was in direct view of people at the pool. People were literally walking right next to our lanai. Had to kill a minimum of 5 to 10 cockroaches a day in the shower, bathroom, kitchen. Pros: Location was fine for being midway to everywhere on the island (18 min to Kahului, 4 min to Nalu's Grill, 3 min to Ululani's shave ice), room had all kinds of cookware for cooking though we didn't use it (got turned off by the roaches). The pool was always being used so seemed fun. We never went since we went to the Ocean for snorkeling.

Great location, super cute condo. Very clean. We really loved being so close to a beach and a very close drive towards food, shopping, etc. We saw a ton of turtles and even a monk seal right across the street at the little beach by the whale sanctuary. 10/10, will definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. First and foremost, the host is an excellent communicator. He sent instructions well in advance that were detailed but simple. We found more details in the condo that were very helpful. The condo was clean with plenty of room and supplies. The pool and grounds are nice and well kept. Finally the location was perfect with the beach and whale museum across the street. We enjoyed watching the turtles come up every night. Overall excellent experience.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean. There was snorkel gear, beach chairs and beach towels in the condo. Each evening we walked across the street to watch the sunset and the large green turtles swim up to the beach to rest for the night. Polo beach is a great beach to snorkel to see colorful fish, turtles and eels.

Condo clean. Snorkel gear, beach chairs and beach towels in condo. Polo beach is a great place to snorkel in the morning.
One rude guy at hot tub policing the grill area.
Over all, a wonderful place to stay.

My husband and I loved this little place. Had all the amenities we needed for cooking, hamming at the beach and relaxing. Plan to bring your own coffee, food/seasoning needs as that is limited to salt/pepper/sugar. But the kitchen was stocked with nearly all utensils needed. There were Tommy bahama chairs (quite worn but still great for a day lounging in the beach), and an umbrella for the beach (too windy for us to use) along with a cooler for snacks and drinksThe bed was small but comfy and the room was nicely decorated and easy to just chill in. It was nice to either hang out by the pool or relax in the hot tub. There were tennis rackets available, but we didn’t get a chance to play (bring tennis balls). The only reason I didn’t give full five stars across the board is there was a small roach issue (make sure all food is covered and put away), not extreme. And there was construction happening on the property, so it was loud at times and just a little cluttered. But nothing that would deter us from staying again. In fact, I would recommend this great little place to friends.

Kihei Bay Surf #144 was perfect for our short stay. The kitchen was tidy and complete; the bed was comfy, and the beach across the street was adequate. We were close to Hope Chapel in Kihei and the beautiful Kalama Beach Park. The carwash area should be marked "no parking except for car washing." We had to park there our first night, and got admonished by a year-round resident. But our parking pass gave us access on the other nights. We loved it and will hope to stay there again.

Overall solid property, place was clean enough however there were a handful of small things to take the star off. (Dead bugs in picture frames, mold in bathroom, very dusty curtains, questionable towels, etc). The location is solid if you have a car, however walkabilty is iffy in that side of Kihei. And the WiFi was spotty at times.
But overall, pleased with the room for the price.
