About this property

502 - Closest to Ocean spectacular view! Only premium unit in building with A/C!

CLOSEST TO THE OCEAN, with breathtaking views! From your private lanai watch sea turtles playing in the surf below, or enjoy the evening sunset stretched out over the water.

PLEASE NOTE: Bookings in this unit are for 1 or 2 guests only. The unit SLEEPS A MAXIMUM OF TWO PEOPLE and the UNIT DOES NOT have a sofa bed in the living room available for guest use. No pets. Minimum 5 night stay. No smoking or vaping in the building or on the lanais.

This 5th floor oceanfront condo at the Kihei Surfside Resort is located on the sought-after ocean side of the building, and has an expansive ocean view from the kitchen, living room, dining area and lanai. It is one of the larger, 1 bedroom / 1.5 bath units (680 sq ft). The view of the ocean and its abundant wildlife is absolutely spectacular.

The unit was completely gutted and fully renovated in 2021 to a very high standard. The unit has air conditioning in both the living room and bedroom. The condo’s décor and soothing color palette are drawn from, and blend into, its natural surroundings to create a peaceful oasis for our guests. The kitchen and vanities and hallway and bedroom are finished in exquisite imported custom French Country cabinetry with quartz countertops. The entry hall, kitchen, living room and bedroom have gorgeous mute-step eucalyptus vinyl plank flooring. The bathrooms are finished in Italian porcelain tile. Original giclée artwork of the Island of Maui is featured throughout the unit. This attention to detail, in addition to its prime oceanfront location in the building, makes this condo truly exceptional.

The attractive island-style kitchen is fully equipped with premium stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator with ice maker, full-size range, dishwasher, multi-function microwave oven, garbage disposal and a variety of small appliances including coffee maker, four-slice toaster, blender, and hand mixer. There is also a large selection of high quality pots and pans, baking pans, knives, with ample dishes, glasses and cutlery.

The living room has a new 65 inch flat-screen smart TV and a Blu-Ray/DVD player, stylish high-end furnishings, a Turkish area rug and a multi-speed marine-grade ceiling fan. All lighting is dimmable. There is free wireless high-speed Internet and telephone with free long distance calling to the United States and Canada.

The oceanfront dining area features a blond rattan table with round glass top, and 4 matching upholstered rattan armchairs.

The private lanai has a glass bistro table with two sling swivel rocker chairs – a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or a romantic oceanfront dinner.

The bedroom has a new Posturepedic King-sized bed, multi-speed marine-grade ceiling fan, French Country furnishings and appointments with quartz tops, plantation shutters, full-size mirrored closet, reading lamps with convenience outlets, and digital security safe.

The master bathroom has a soaker bathtub with shower / hand shower and soft-close glass doors, a lovely French Country vanity with quartz countertop and premium fixtures. The matching half bath has been finished to the same exacting standards. Both bathrooms have American Standard one-piece 'select flush' toilets, Panasonic 'whisper-quiet' exhaust fans, and dimmable lighting.

The unit is fully equipped with utensils, fresh linens and towels, iron/ironing board, hairdryer, beach towels and a cooler. Umbrellas, boogie boards 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. Coin laundry facilities are available on site.

This unit provides the best that Maui has to offer; an outstanding condo, situated in the best location in the building, which itself is right on the ocean at the border of Kihei and Wailea; the sunniest and driest part of the island. You will sleep to the sound of waves, and awaken to breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, West Maui Mountains and Kamaole 1, 2 and 3 beaches.

The Kihei Surfside Resort is located at 2936 S. Kihei Road, South Kihei 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 Kihei Surfside Resort consists of an absolute oceanfront concrete building of 6 floors and 84 deluxe units with an elevator. The building underwent an extensive makeover during the summer of 2015, when it was closed for six months. Each unit received new windows, doors and railings, and the building itself had a complete concrete restoration and paint. There is free parking on site. The resort is a twenty-five minute drive from the Kahului Airport (OGG). Rental cars are available at the airport or in Kihei town. There are also taxis available at the airport (about $50), a shuttle bus and public transportation.

Virtually all of the properties and resorts in Kihei are either located right on busy S. Kihei Rd., or if they are set back from the road - are across from the street from the ocean. One unique feature of the Kihei Surfside is that it is located at the quiet end of S. Kihei Road, AND is set back 300 feet from S. Kihei Road AND is located right on the ocean! Because it is hard to see from the road, many first time Surfside guests say that even though they have visited Kihei many times, they had never seen the resort!

Another unique feature of the property is that we have a 2 acre, immaculately kept oceanfront 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. In fact, the Pacific Whale Foundation conducts their annual whale count from our property. The building is located at the north end of Keawakapu Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui (voted Maui's most romantic), where you can walk for miles past some of the most expensive oceanfront homes on the island and the luxurious hotels of Wailea.

Rosiesrentals.com has been in business since 2003. We run our business from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. We personally own several units in the Kihei Surfside building, and Lake Country, British Columbia.

In Hawaii, we are not a property manager, but rather represent our own units as well as act as the online face and name for other friends and relatives within the Kihei Surfside Community who self-manage their properties and advertise them on the internet. Together, we have the largest selection of properties to rent at the Kihei Surfside, including many in the prime locations. We are registered in Hawaii as a Transient Accommodations Operator. We have an on island representative who is available in case any issues arise with any of the units.

Beautiful view
Old but clean, the view is making up for everything else. One more beach towel would have come handy, and the old ones should be replaced. Thank you.

Five star condo in South Kihei!
This unit met and even exceeded my expectations. By far the cleanest, and most beautifully decorated Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in, and the first I’d 100% stay in again. Communication prior to, during, and after stay was excellent, condo was stocked and appointed exactly as listed. Heartfelt thanks for a wonderful stay and making our trip to Maui nothing but a pleasure!

Amazing views & beautiful condo
We had trouble with the door code for the first 12 hours of our stay. Hard to get a hold of someone to help us, but once we got that fixed we truly enjoyed our stay! The condo is beautifully renovated and the views are amazing. We would definitely stay here again!

Best Unit at Kihei Surfside!
We've visited Maui approximately 20 times. This unit was one of the top as far cleanliness, updated and stocked! We were in the elevator one day and was talking to someone from a local cleaning service the cleaned 23 units at Surfside. They asked what unit we were staying in. They said our unit was the best 1 bedroom in the building. We will definitely book this unit again! Mahalo, Michelle and Ray

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.
