About this property

Stunning 180° MAUI OCEAN VIEW 2 bdrm condo Island Surf 501

Check out our photos, check out our reviews, now here’s the highlights:
• One king bed, one queen bed, and one queen pullout
• Unique layout: Very few condos in Hawaii, in this price range, are constructed with so much frontage facing the ocean. Both the master bedroom and the living room directly face the ocean. (depicted in the building layout drawing) When you first walk into our condo, you’ll see what we mean! Large, bright, airy.
• Larger than average two-bedroom unit ~ 1000 sq ft.
• You choose: A gentle breeze using the ceiling fans in every room along with the ocean breeze, or the cooling of our A/C systems for those extra warm days and nights.
• If there is something our kitchen is missing – tell us – we’ll likely buy it.
• The street can be noisy. We are in the heart of everything! That’s why we replaced the entire glass at the front of the condo with double pane, tinted windows and slider doors. And just wait till you try those doors – two fingers opens those gliding doors! Also, new double pane windows in back bedroom.
• No matter what age you are, you need a good sleep after a day of surfing, snorkelling, shopping. We have wonderfully comfortable beds, and great pillows – not those hard ones that start to look like a stale loaf of bread. You chose the type you want.
• It’s nice to not worry about driving if you choose to have some wine with dinner. We are a short walking distance from many award winning restaurants , pubs and eateries. And please check out our first floor - sushi, deli, so much more!
• We have a keyless entry - no need to worry about sharing keys (or losing keys!).
• There are elevators and stairs in our building.

Why choose this condo?

• We strive to provide a scent-free space so that all of our guests can enjoy our condo. While we cannot guarantee this there will be no allergens, we do not use plugins or fabreeze, or other products of that nature. Our laundry soap is scent-free, and cleaning products are basic with no added "fresheners".
• We are very proud of our property. We are dedicated to giving you the best experience. We, the owners, personally stay in this condo at least twice a year for our Maui vacations, which gives us lots of time to fix and improve. And because we like the best, you’ll get the best.
• Have you ever walked into a vacation property and wondered how the photos online made it look so much better? That’s because photos can fabricate the truth, and photos don’t tell the story about the dreaded “tired” condo. Our guests often tell us how well our photos represent the real beauty, cleanliness and space of our unit. (and our reviews say the same!)
• Everyone fits on the double wide lanai, so everyone can enjoy the spectacular sunsets each evening. The sunset picture you see in the photos was taken with an average phone camera by an average photographer (me!) and no photo-shopping.
• Call us – we can give you more information and set your mind at ease about our condo, our rates, any questions you might have.
• And our cleaners? They are second to none.
• There will be no surprises – when we send you a quote, everything is there - what you see is what it will cost. There are NO hidden fees.
• And finally, and most important, we keep our knives sharp.
I could go on about the granite counter tops and free wi-fi, smart TV where you can stream your Netflix, free long distance, beautiful towels, comfy beach chairs, coolers & ice blocks for the beach, lovely bamboo flooring, bbqs by the pool for grilling, amazing park across the street, surf lessons and rentals across the street, bicycle rentals on the first floor of the condo, but I won’t. :)
So here’s the administrative stuff:
• Our calendar is always up-to-date.
• PLEASE NOTE: We can accommodate any length of stay, but if your stay is less than 7 days, it must fit quite snugly between, or at the end or beginning of existing bookings.
NOTE: Due to the prevalence of allergies, (including the owners!) we ask guests to refrain from using perfumes or colognes. Thank you for observing this!

Cancellations: In order to receive a refund of your deposit, cancellation is required 60 days or more prior to arrival date. Please note that VRBO charges a guest booking fee for every reservation. This charge is administered by VRBO and completely out of our control. Guests who cancel cancel between 30 and 60 days before check-in, will get back 50%. Otherwise, no refund will be given.

We encourage all guests to purchase travel cancellation insurance. This is the responsibility of the guest.
Mahalo!

Great condo and location

It has a great location with an awesome view from the balcony. The 2 bedroom condo was clean and well stocked with everything you need. The property manager was easy to communicate with and very helpful with the check in and check out. I would stay here again!

Outstanding vacation

I’ve been to Maui five (5) times and this condo exceeded my expectations in terms of everything provided and more. So close to the food trucks, a walk from Foodland grocery store, and across from the beach. I’m looking forward to probably staying here again next time I’m in Maui. Mahalo.

Great location, excellent communication!

This stay was great! We had 4 people with more than enough room. The location is great- steps away from downtown food and drinks and a short walk to the beach. Patty was extremely communicative and responded quickly to anything we needed. Absolutely would stay here again!

Wonderful Experience

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.

Perfect family condo in a great location with beautiful views!

This condo exceeded our expectations. It was perfect for our family of 4. We loved waking up early and watching the surfers and paddle boards from the lanai. We enjoyed the ocean breezes that kept the condo cool and comfortable. (There is air conditioning but we found the open air breezes to be more enjoyable). The location was ideal. We walked to restaurants and the beach even though they are a short few minute drive. We absolutely loved going to South Maui Gardens right behind us in the evening for entertainment and food trucks. The host Patty was responsive and super accommodating! We could not recommend this condo enough!

Perfect Family Getaway by the Beach in Kihei!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this VRBO listing! From the moment we arrived, we were thrilled with the comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. The location is unbeatable, offering easy access to surfing and snorkeling—a real treat for anyone looking to dive into the natural beauty of the area. The nearby aquatic center was a big hit with the kids, and having Foodland close by meant we could grab poke whenever the craving struck—definitely a highlight! Lunches were a delight with delicious fish tacos at local eateries, and dinners out with my wife added a lovely touch of romance to our vacation. The fully equipped kitchen was also a pleasure to use on the nights we chose to stay in and cook, making our dining experiences versatile and enjoyable. Additionally, the park across the street was perfect for playing with the kids and letting them run around to their hearts' content. This spot truly felt like a home away from home, offering both fun-filled activities and the chance to relax and unwind. For families looking for a memorable and enjoyable getaway, this place has it all. We couldn't have asked for a better week and highly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay here. Thank you for such a great vacation experience!

Beautiful place with stunning view

We keep returning to this immaculate condo. The size is perfect for our family of four. View is second to none. Beds are very comfortable, and you never have to worry about ghost ants or bugs as the place is so well maintained. Patty is excellent (and so easy) to communicate with. Location is in the heart of Kihei and close to all the amenities you need. The South Maui Gardens is directly behind the building and offers such tranquility and numerous amazing food trucks.

Best Place to Stay!!

This is an amazing condo, perfect for a Hawaiian vacation!! It is magical waking up and drinking coffee on the patio over looking the ocean, and all the surfers out with the sunrise. It is a great location as well, fairly central, easy to get to wherever you want to go on the island. Patty the owner is great, she is super responsive, checked in to make sure everything was going well. I have already sent this to a few of my friends who are looking at going to Maui this year, so I obviously HIGHLY recommend this property.

Amazing!

We had the most amazing week on Maui while staying at this cutie condo! Everything was clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen, extra beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, boogey board, coolers, ice packs all provided. Excellent view of the ocean from the lanai and the perfect place to people watch at the park below. The "Maui Revealed" (8th edition) book in the condo was SO helpful and made our trip (especially Road to Hana) even more incredible- highly recommend reading through that as you are planning your days! Easy walk to Foodland, many shops and coffee/restaurants. Definitely check out Maui Gardens right behind the condo...so many delicious food trucks (Sweet Hula = best acai/smoothies!). We encountered a lot of homeless people in the area/across the street at the park, but still felt safe to walk around and definitely safe up on the fifth floor. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your condo!!

Made My Stay In Maui

What I wrote in Patty's guest book: We had a delightful time at your condo: the view from the lanais; the wonderful human activity across the street at the park; the details in your condo that made us feel like we were staying with friends (vs corporate); your prompt attention to issues; great middle location on the island and close to the airport: all added up for a great stay! My (first) Maui experience will always include 501 Island Surf as part of that experience.

We finally had a vacation rather than Family Trip!

For those with a family, looking to enjoy Maui without staying at a hotel, look no further! We had an absolute blast of a time! It is located in a great beach town. The public beaches are beautiful, perfect wave break with surf schools directly out front for those looking to learn to surf, close by great beach restaurants with music at night, and easy Lyft to cafe olei at the millhouse, east drive to the north side for hikes and waterfalls. Great clean pool in the complex for when the little kids want to jump in for hour to tire themselves out! Not to mention the garden food trucks directly behind island surf. The condo truly has a great view of the sunset and the beach/park right out front. Already booked our week next year!

Awesome place

Wonderful location (but noisy at times because you’re on the main road) but walking distance to lots of places with an amazing view of the ocean. Comes with everything you could possibly need. Only recommend bringing an eye mask for the queen bedroom (could use blackout curtains). But loved every minute of staying here and would stay again!

It was my families first trip to Maui and the condo was wonderful. It was clean, stocked with all kinds of items and the location was great. I loved having the stores and deli on the bottom floor. A few morning were a little noisy, but the view of the ocean made up for it. Would definitely come back!

Great unit for 2 couples or small family, centrally located in South Kihei for shopping, sightseeing and restaurants. Always a parking spot available in the lot and building has elevators! Lots to see from the lanai - surfers, volleyball, ocean views. Unit has all the essentials provided and we hardly had to use the AC as there was a pleasant breeze through the unit much of the time.

About the host

Hosted by Patty Shepherd

Host profile image
Aloha from Keith and Patty! We came to Maui in 2012 to search for an island retreat; somewhere where we would love to vacation in comfort and affordability. We are from Canada, on Vancouver Island, so we understand exactly what a beautiful island is. When we walked into unit 501, we were astonished by the view and the brightness of the condo. After carefully looking at other listings all over Maui, we came to the conclusion that this condo, in this area, had it all! Welcome to our home away from home. Our goal is to present to you, the vacationer, every comfort of home while you are on holidays and as such, we have outfitted our unit with everything required, so that when you come back home, you don’t need “a vacation from your vacation”. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

Why do we love Island Surf? Here is a short list of the many attractions:
We have stayed for two weeks without needing a rental car.
We can walk to all restaurants, pubs and shopping. (one of our favourites: Sensai Sushi - yum!)
We can walk across and down the street to swim, snorkel, surf and sunbathe.
A dip in the pool is so refreshing after a day of eating, shopping and sunning!
Even if a day goes by that I don't dip my toe in the ocean, I can see it from just about everywhere in the condo.
Sitting on the lanai with a glass of wine in the evening, at sunset, is unparalleled. The sunsets (we saw the green flash!) are amazing, and photos barely do it justice. When we leave, we can't wait to get back.

What makes this property unique

One of our favourite things about our unit is the bright, open, airy concept. Whether we are preparing appies in the kitchen, or waking up from a restful sleep, we can still see the ocean. There is something so calming and relaxing to know that the oceans is seconds across the street from us.
