My wife and I stayed here for just under a week, celebrating her 40th birthday. Our stay was amazing - the property was just as described and had everything we needed (including laundry access and other amenities). The location was best - close to everything and with a beautiful view. My wife has already said if we can make it back, she wants to stay here again!

We loved our stay here. Definitely, we will come back. The view was the most beautiful we have ever seen and everything else was perfect. Although, it would be very nice to have an AC in the bedroom🙏😉

We really enjoyed our stay here! The unit was clean and comfortable, and the proximity to the beach was really amazing. (The community lives up to the name "Surfside"--you can't get closer to the water.) It was also really conveniently located within Kihei--close enough to the main strip that dining and shopping options were easily accessible, but set back enough from Kihei Rd that traffic noise was nonexistent. Being on the ground level, we did experience a bit of noise from the community's back lawn area during peak usage hours, but our stay was overall quiet and relaxing. We would happily stay here again!

Love the location and view. Could use a dishwasher, better lanai furniture and an update but overall we had a great stay.

This spot could not have been more perfect. The location is prime and close to a beautiful beach. The pool is steps from the front patio. I loved being on the ground floor and easily walking out onto the huge grassy yard. There were always families and kids playing, but it was never crowded. Well kept building and landscaping and very friendly staff. I would come back here without a doubt.

Overall very good. Yes, a little dated and could have used a few more kitchen items but thats not why we went to Maui. Outstanding views, we went snorkeling almost every day. That's why we went to Maui

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. We usually stay on the west side Maui but we decided to stay a few days in Kihei. The condo was just perfect for the two of us. The only thing that could have made it better was air conditioning. But, it wasn’t that bad. We just opened the bedroom window and the window in the living room for a cross breeze. The property was gorgeous!! We loved sitting on the lawn to watch the sunset. The beach was one of the better ones on the island. We will definitely be staying at this condo again.

My wife and I booked this place for our honeymoon and couldn’t speak highly enough about it. The owner had great communication through the check-in process and throughout the stay. The place was clean, tidy, had incredible views of the ocean and had easy access to beaches and local restaurants.

The bed mattress was extremely bad and caused my wife and I major back pain.. We contacted the property manager and was told to1. Try sleeping on the sofa sleeper 2. Try the bed in a different unit. 3. Go to Costco and buy a mattress top for the bed. 4. Cancel our reservation and ge a refund. We canceled

The view from this property is the selling point....green lawn and ocean vistas. The condo was "cozy" for two of us. While not overly spacious, it was well stocked, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. We spent much of our time outside. No A/C, which was not an issue for us, as the breeze was cool enough, but may be too warm for people really wanting it cold. Our only suggestion would be to add a salad spinner!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at Kihei Surfside 507. The condo is spectacular. Plenty of kitchen supplies and basic cooking necessities. The view is wonderful also. The property has a great pool, is within a 2-3 minute walk to the beach, and is near a large green space where you can watch the sunset every night. Great location right in between downtown Kihei and Wailea.

This is our 2nd time staying at this property, and it was as amazing as the 1st time! The views are unbelievable and the unit is pristine. It's so close to the beach, and convenient to everything we wanted to do. But honestly, we don't leave the property very much...it has everything you could ask for! Looking forward to staying here again next year!

The condo is wonderful: everything you need and then some, fantastic location RIGHT on the ocean with beautiful grounds and amenities. Low key yet convenient to everything. Communications with the owners were great. I highly recommend staying here. I will in a heartbeat given the opportunity to come back to Maui. And if I am unable to return, I will hold my really positive experience in my heart. Thank you Larry!!!

Loved loved this condo. The location was amazing. Sooo close to the ocean but no one laying on a beach right under your lanai. The views and sunsets were spectacular! Yet….you walked only steps to one of the longest beautiful beaches on west Maui. Can’t say enough about that. Also the pool was so clean and lovely so close to the ocean as well. The unit was clean and had everything we needed down to very plush beach towels. We used the laundry facilities and they were open and airy and clean as well. There was a nice welcome note and snacks when we arrived which was nice. We would definitely recommend this unit to anyone wanting to come to Maui and experience the relaxed feel of Kihei!

October 2024

This condo/property was everything we could have asked for. Clean, easy check-in, accurate listing description, incredible views, spacious, the list goes on. Located in great area and the property (beach, grass, pathways, and pool) were all well-maintained and very nice. Property has a path to a secluded little area where the sea turtles like to rest-- that was a highlight! Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at the Surfside numerous times and it does not disappoint. Beautiful views, and access to the beach right at your doorstep. The unit is looking a bit tired, but it has everything you need for your stay except for your beach umbrella and snorkel stuff. The air conditioner works great and is nice and quiet.

Great location, excellent ocean views, beautiful furniture. Loved having the two bathrooms. Unit would receive 4 Stars if it had A/C. Fans and open doors help but still a little toasty.

Wonderful unit to stay in. Has all the amenities of home with a very comfortable king size bed. It was great having boogie boards, beach umbrella, and snorkeling equipment provided. Beach chairs could be checked out at the office. The pool and expansive lawn were amazing. Good snorkeling in front of the complex but you have to enter the water from the Mana Kai Maui resort beach just a short walk south. Great location with restaurants and shopping close by. Would definitely stay here again, but would come during the cooler months of the year since there is no air conditioning (The ceiling fan and two portable fans helped a lot in the evenings)

We enjoyed our stay here, it's a great location in the complex (quieter since it's not overlooking the pool directly) and the view is fabulous. The property manager Alison was super responsive and helpful. We were a little disappointed in the microfiber sheets (they sleep hot) and the bed pillows. And the Keurig coffee maker was non-functioning, but the drip maker worked well. If they upgraded the linens and pillows, we'd stay here again for sure.

The corner unit property’s views are amazing! The breeze and both sunrise and sunset are amazing. Dealing with Larry via VRBO has been easy and smooth. On site office has beach chairs for our whole family. The until itself had umbrellas and a small cooler, perfect for beach days. Super thankful for this lovely spot.
