Unit 505 is a fifth floor condo at the Kihei Surfside Resort is on the sought after ocean side of the elevator. It has a spectacular view from the kitchen, living room, dining area and lanai. It has been consistently upgraded by its long term owners. Overall, the unit is in good condition and is very popular with guests. Air conditioning was installed in June 2024.

The entire unit is tiled. The island style kitchen has light oak cabinets and dark granite counters. This stylish kitchen is well equipped with white appliances - a side by side refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser, flat top stove with microwave hood fan above, full size dishwasher and garbage disposer.

The living room has a queen size sofa-bed with a matching loveseat and a swivel-rocker bucket chair. There is also a 47", wall mounted flat screen LCD TV, stereo with CD player and multi speed ceiling fan.

The dining area has a round rattan glass table with 4 matching tropical rattan chairs.

The large, private lanai has a bistro table with two padded swivel rocker chairs - a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or a romantic oceanfront dinner! Turtles and dolphins can be seen year round, whales in season.

The entry hall has a large dresser.

The bedroom has a king size bed, multi speed ceiling fan, plantation shutters, digital security safe and Hawaiian style rattan furniture.

The master bathroom has a full size, walk in shower with a small bench and a shower massage head with hand held wand. There is a vanity with Corian countertop. The matching half bath has been similarly decorated.

This condo is fully equipped with fresh linens and towels, hair dryer, iron/ironing board. All units have beach towels and a cooler. Umbrellas and snorkel gear are NOT supplied, but are often left behind in the units by other guests – no guarantees. The Kihei Surfside office loans out beach chairs free of charge during regular business hours - Monday to Saturday. Office is closed Sundays and Holidays. Coin laundry facilities are available on site.

The property itself features an extensive and immaculately kept lawn area with dozens of loungers, with a heated swimming pool and deluxe barbecue facilities. In season, there are daily whale sightings from both the grounds and lanais. The building is located at the north end of Keawakapu beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui, where you can walk for miles past some of the most expensive oceanfront homes on the island and the luxurious hotels of Wailea.

For units that accommodate more than 2 guests (4 guests maximum), additional fees apply for additional guests at the rate of $15 per night for youths (17 and under) and $25 per night for adults (18 and over).

It is customary for the residents of the Kihei Surfside to gather each evening for cocktails on the shore near the tiki torches for a traditional Hawaiian sundown ceremony. This is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors and fellow vacationers!

Kihei Surfside Resort is located in the 2900 block of S. Kihei Road, at the entrance of beautiful Wailea. This is the desert part of Maui, where the sun shines more than any other part of the island. The resort consists of an absolute oceanfront concrete building of 6 floors and 84 deluxe units with an elevator.

There are two very nice oceanfront restaurants within 100 yards of the resort. The Grand Wailea Hotel, The Shops at Wailea and Wailea/Makena Golf Courses are close by and Kahalui airport is just twenty-five minutes away.

Rental cars are available at the airport or in Kihei town. There is free parking on site. Just a few minutes from the airport are Costco, Wal-Mart and Sears. A short drive from the resort is Safeway, Foodland and Star Market, where you can stock up on groceries. Right across the parking lot from the Surfside is an upscale deli/grocery store for last minute items, and a yoga studio.

The world class golf facilities of Wailea and Makena are nearby. Windsurfing, and many other water activities are also available nearby. Some of the best snorkeling on Maui is steps from the property. The Pacific Foundation conducts their annual whale count from the Surfside property. The Kihei boat ramp, from where the pleasure boats and sightseeing/snorkeling tours depart, is a five minute walk.

Kihei town itself is only a few minutes away by car and boasts many fine restaurants, video and gift shops. Historical Lahaina and beautiful Kaanapali beach are a scenic 25 minute drive towards the western part of Maui.

Great place, great location BUT…

Check out time is too early and not industry standard. No one checks out at 10a. Also, if a code changes, I should be updated immediately. Not having access to the laundry room was inconvenient. Beyond that, great stay!

You Can't Beat the View

Amazing stay at with the most incredible views! The property is situated right on the ocean with large, spacious grounds. A long stretch of sandy beach with plenty of space and warm ocean water where you can swim with the turtles is steps away. There are lots of places nearby to eat or have a drink and Costco and Walmart are 25 minutes away if you're cooking. The only issue we had was that the air conditioning was not working during our stay. They attempted to fix it but it was not resolved before we left. Will definitely be going back.

Turtle heaven

Everything you would want for a Hawaii vacation. The views from this unit are breathtaking. You can watch the most beautiful sunsets perfect view from your balcony or living room. The pool is amazing, a sand beach is about a 3 min walk and just on the other side of this resort is a turtle resting area and we saw 7 turtles there throughout the week just chilling. This place is also located perfectly to just about everything you wanna see , eat and do. This is our new #1 go to whenever we are back on Maui. Host was great, easy and smooth. Nonestly , no complaints at all.

This unit was wonderful! The location was perfect. It was clean, quiet, and the views were top notch. Having the general store close by was very handy. You are in walking distance to some restaurants and shops which is good if you’re not wanting to take a vehicle out. I would recommend this unit to anyone and look forward to going back!

Beautiful location/residence was just okay

Everything was good besides the smelly blanket, dirty towel we found, amongst a few other things and a rude property manager who was careless about our issues and had a bad attitude. He was rude, short, unkind and would not apologize whatsoever and told me to contact another point of contact when he could have did that himself for the inconveniences. This left a bad taste in my mouth besides that the beautiful views were the highlight. The sofa bed is very uncomfortable and old but the kitchen is fully equipped which is great. It was so hot some days and no ac flowing in the unit just a cheap fan. I wouldn’t stay in this particular property again because customer service goes a long way but the views every day are stunning and the overall property is kept in good shape. There is a strange guy working at the front desk that kept calling his dog a derogatory terms which was very inappropriate and he had Some very weird energy and that type of language isn’t professional and concerning for the dog. Everything was ok overall but I wouldn’t stay here again. The best part is the ocean and the views

Great Stay

Had a very nice stay at Kihei Surfside 505. The view from the lanai was fantastic, I could regularly see sea turtles. Very very short walk to a very nice beach - think it's actually closer to the beach than some properties that would be considered "on" the beach. Overall location was great. We were able to walk to the boat ramp to take a snorkel tour one morning. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. We were able to get beach chairs from the office. Can't think of anything else that we really needed during the stay. Would be nice if there was A/C. The week we stayed was hot. There are several fans in the unit, so we did ok with windows open and fans on, but a couple nights were still warm. Would definitely consider returning here for our next stay. Seemed like excellent value relative to other properties based on location, view, and amenities.

Nice property with great location. Entire property is very clean and well maintained. Lovely pool. No spa. Steps to the beach. 1 mile walk to restaurants. 15 min drive to grocery. Super park that is right next to property. Snorkel tours leave from boat launch next door. The restaurant in next building over is closed. Unit was clean and well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, toilet paper, soap, towels, etc. Property has beach chairs available for guests - must get from front desk. Great views from unit. Return communication was a bit delayed, took a couple days for reply. However, property owner’s agent did reply and was very accommodating. Would stay again!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We are convinced this property offers the best value and location for oceanfront accommodation in the south Kihei/Wailea area. All of the units are direct oceanfront, and the property has the most amazing oceanfront lawn area spanning over 2 acres, which is unique to our property. The best part about the Surfside are the friendly, happy people, and the great accommodating staff!

What makes this property unique

The property is located right at the north end of world famous Keawakapu Beach. It is one of the finest white sand beaches anywhere. It stretches for miles past some of the most expensive homes and hotels in all of Maui. Great for walking or running. There is a reef right at our property that has the most amazing snorkeling we have seen anywhere. Unlike most other oceanfront properties in Kihei, the Surfside is perched right on the sea shore, set back several hundred feet from S. Kihei Road, so you hear the ocean, not the road noise. The complex has two high end stainless steel barbeques and picnic tables right at the ocean. Almost every night, we use the barbeque and eat our dinner at the oceanfront lit by tiki torches.
