About this property

Dazzling Ocean View, Modern, Whole house AC. Upgraded Glass for a quiet setting

Fresh out of helping the Lahaina fire victims, our unit is back on the market.

Modern, fully updated spotless condo with a great view of the beach. Everything is modern, from the stainless appliance package to the commercial sized washer and dryer, Egyptian cotton beach towels and super high quality linens. Two large bedrooms and two full baths. Over 1000 square feet of open, airy space.

-Great Ocean View: take in the outstanding view through the wall to wall, floor to ceiling glass wall in the living room/kitchen
-Completely Updated: Our unit is kept in excellent shape, all aspects are new or replaced on a regular basis. We don't have 10 year old mattresses or ancient pans, we keep it new and fresh.
-Great, Central Location: walk to shopping, dozens of restaurants, beaches, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling and more.
-South Maui Gardens shares a property line with our building. It is a fantastic installation...nightly entertainment, beautiful grounds, 15 eating establishments.
There are days we never use our car!

-Two large bedrooms, each with a cal-king bed
-Two full bathrooms, bright with new tile, granite and cabinets
-Fully air conditioned, one of the few units in the building outfitted with a state of the art ductless, silent air conditioning system.
-Free Wi-Fi, cable, HBO
-Free parking
-Beach toys included, snorkels sets, chairs, cooler, umbrella, thick beach towels, sand toys, boogie boards
-Upgraded double pane glass. The $20K expense keeps most owners from doing this upgrade, trust us, you'll love the new glass!!!


Every time we enter our condo, we are struck by how beautiful the view is. One wall of the living room is entirely made of glass, and the light fills the whole space. The lanai is over 16 feet wide and provides a great space to hang out, watch the waves and surfers, and enjoy the tropical weather.

We recently installed a $15k sliding glass door unit even though the old unit functioned fine. The update is just part of our commitment to make sure our guests have a great experience. I am so happy with this change. The difference the insulated, double pane glass made was huge. Very energy efficient and so quiet. There are only 12 units in all of the building with these doors. I wouldn't stay in a unit without them.


We have furnished our condo to be modern and comfortable. You will find full sized couch and chairs, two king sized beds, tons of storage, large closets. The kitchen is outfitted with a new whirlpool appliance suite including microwave, dishwasher, self cleaning glass topped range and refrigerator with ice maker. We even have special outlets that have USB chargers built into them. The kitchen is outfitted with top quality pans, knives and small appliances.

Free WiFi. A large flat screen TV in the living room and another flat screen in one bedroom.

Island Surf is in a great central location. Immediately to the north is a area the locals call 'The Triangle'. It has a lot of shops and scores of restaurants and night spots. Across the street is Kalama Park, offering playgrounds, roller hockey, volleyball, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and wide open spaces to play catch or just hang on the grass. You can watch your friends and family play in the surf right from the front room.

A short drive to the south puts you in the heart of Wailea with upscale dining, shopping and more wonderful beaches.

Island Surf houses many great businesses. Massage, small grocery store, sushi restaurant , Pacific Whale Foundation...many great businesses are directly downstairs.

There is a pool and BBQ area on the second floor, both with ocean views.

Amenities include:
-Mini split air conditioning serving ALL rooms.
-Two flat screen TVs, w
-Free wireless internet with 500gig speeds
-Beach toys including snorkel gear, Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, umbrella, coolers, sand toys
-Huge washer and dryer, ironing board and iron.
-New kitchen: dishwasher, microwave, glass topped self cleaning oven, coffee maker and grinder, blender, toaster, tea pot, rice cooker, high end knives, pots and pans.

-Our on-island contact is within walking distance to the condo and will promptly attend to any issues you may encounter.

If a one bedroom could fit your needs, please look at our other unit, # 698750

Island Surf Building is entirely NON SMOKING. Owners and guests are not allowed to smoke in units, on walkways, on Lanais or in common areas. There is one very small designated smoking area in a corner of the back parking lot. Quite honestly, if there is a smoker or vaper in your party, this is not a good fit for your vacation. My advice would be to seek other accommodations. Anyone found smoking in a restricted area is subject to a significant fine.

This condo is licensed for vacation rentals, Hawaiian tax id . #TA-042-517-0944-01

Also, this building is zoned business and resort use. You may have heard of some condos being rezoned and no longer available for tourist use...we are not impacted by that. We have always been zoned for resort use.

Beware of owners not providing their tax number, often they are scams or not licensed. If you are looking at a rental that does not provide their number, they are probably operating illegally. Please be careful, the state is enforcing these and you may find yourself without a place to stay when you arrive. Try googling 'nonpermitted vacation rentals target of enforcement' to see newest article on the issue.

Kihei

Matt was great to work with, he gave some great recommendations for restaurants, things to do and places to visit. The condo was very clean, well equipped and a great location! Lots of restaurant choices in the area. The food trucks behind the condo was so cool! Beach across the street is a little rocky, but it was very cool, we swam with 2 turtles there and it is shallow for a long way so super easy to hang out! The Lanai has the best view of a beautiful park and sunset every night you won’t miss it. I will be back!

Fantastic vacation in Kihei, Maui

We absolutely loved our stay at Matt and Colleen's condo in Kihei. The location is fantastic- close to incredible beaches, parks, restaurants and shops. And the condo is full of resources about Maui and everything you need for living there and enjoying the place. Matt was responsive to any texts. This was a very special vacation for me, celebrating my 70th birthday and also remembering a family vacation in Kihei 51 years ago that brought that special vacation back to my mind and heart in wonderful ways. Thank you so much.

Fantastic place and location!

This apartment is in a central location; across from Kalama park beach. The apartment itself was clean and spacious. I rated it 4 stars due to the shower stopper in the hall bathroom being corroded in place. This prevented me from being able to use the bathtub. I had been looking forward to bath after our flight. Now, were we were given notification that the bathrooms were going to be given maintenance work the week after our stay so, this issue may no longer be valid. Otherwise, the place was immaculate. There are beach towels in both closets with umbrellas and chairs for 2 in the guest bedroom closet. We used one of the umbrellas on a beach excursion and it was fine for the both of us. There some grocery items in the refrigerator that were usable along with items like olive oil and some spices in the cupboard so, one could easily buy some basic groceries and be comfortable. There are 2 stair cases plus an elevator in this building which is good as this unit is up a few floors. There is a rinse off in the parking lot which is needed if you decide to walk the beach across the street. after we left here and got to Oahu, we missed this pace immediately and longed for a spacious apartment and lanai!

Maui Perfection!

It was our first time going to Maui & first time renting a condo on vacation. This was truly the most perfect home away from home. Having all the time extra amenities from home unlike a hotel was just incredible. We loved all the extra beach gear available too, made the beach days even better. Every morning & evening soaking in the most beautiful views of the water from the lanai & watching the surfers every morning was a true highlight. We just loved the Kihei area, with a gorgeous beach across the street & so many great shops, restaurants & cafes all within walking distance only minutes away. Truly was the most amazing experience, we can't wait to see Maui again one day & will most definitely be returning to this lovely condo, a true piece of paradise.

Great location with beautiful ocean views

We loved our stay at this condo because of its convenient location and the beautiful views! It had everything we needed, including beach towels, a couple coolers and some other beach gear we didn’t use. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the balcony after a long day of seeing the sights on the island. We never had any trouble parking, and we were always just a short walk from coffee or food. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Kihei Condo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Matt and Colleen’s condo in Kihei. The location was perfect. So easy to walk to many restaurants and shops and a nice ocean view on the shaded lanai. Great for watching the surfers in the morning when jet lag has you up at the crack of dawn. The condo is well-stocked with anything that you might need during your stay. Beach towels and chairs, coolers, boogie boards, and all the kitchen essentials. We really appreciated the sliding doors on the lanai that kept out most street noise. Parking was easy in the lot behind the building; we never had trouble getting a spot. The condo building itself is older but well-maintained. Elevators are quick and we almost never had to wait for one. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Matt and Colleen for sharing your Kihei home!

This is the second time I have stayed at this property. We have enjoyed both times at this location. It is our favorite VRBO when staying in Maui, and my first choice when looking for a place to stay in Kihei. It's within walking distance to beaches, food trucks and a nice park with a playground for children to play. The condo is well maintained and clean.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Keller

Host profile image
We live in the Seattle area and have been visiting Hawaii frequently for the past 20+ years. After visiting different islands, we settled on Maui as the best combination of recreation and amenities. We believe you simply cannot do better than Maui. There is a reason the movie stars vacation here!

After looking at scores of condos, we snapped up our unit in the Island Surf. It had the best combination of views, layout, and location. We have found that we can park our car for days at a time and walk to everything. Our unit was dated and tired, so we launched into a full scale remodel. We love the newness of the unit now and the modern feel.

Our plan is to retire and split our time between Maui and Seattle area. Until then, we wanted to share our great location and remodeled unit with others.

We hope you enjoy Maui as much as we do.

Aloha,
Matt and Colleen Keller

Why they chose this property

We have seen Island Surf on all of our trips to Maui. In fact, we have rented surf boards on the bottom floor in the building. When a unit came for sale, we jumped at the opportunity. It has such a great location, is within walking distance to so many amenities, and the unit has great views with a open and airy feel. It also was over 1000 square feet, huge by Hawaiian standards. After looking at Island Surf for so many years, we are still in awe that we were able to buy here.

What makes this property unique

The best benefit of Island Surf is the view. Following close behind is the size and layout of the unit, 1000 square feet with one wall entirely of glass providing a great, open feeling. Combine that with the central location and ability to walk to so many attractions and you just can't beat it.
