Rental Details

Rental Overview

Aloha! We are the owners of a gorgeous, remodeled penthouse, 1 bd 1 ba (sleeps 3) condo with amazing ocean views inside and out. I to 2 minute walk from beach. It is decorated with a feel of the island throughout. New sound resistant glass balcony doors, windows and ductless split AC makes this a quiet retreat filled with light and extraordinary views.

**PLEASE NOTE: You may have heard about Maui banning some vacation rentals. The County Council is set to vote to ban 7,000 units (out of the 14,000 total units) from renting to tourists starting in 2026. Those units were originally zoned "Apartment" and had been grandfathered into tourist rentals. That grandfathering is being removed. The complete list of units which will be barred from renting to tourists is readily available if you do an internet search on "Mintoya List."
Our unit has never been on that list and has always been zoned Hotel/Business. If you reserve from us, rest assured you are in a legal, licensed unit in the appropriate zoning class.

As beautiful as this condo was when we purchased it, we continue to make yearly updates:
Shades that keep the sun out, but let the view in.
Front screen door to enjoy those tropical breezes.
New memory foam mattress. (That many quests ask for the brand as they sleep so good.)
Full size washer and dryer.

Our unit is supplied with all of the supplies to make your vacation as fun and relaxing as possible. Just unpack and let the vacation begin!

The 1st floor of the complex has shops where you can rent bikes, grab a coffee or sandwich, arrange a massage, haircut or pedicure/manicure, pick up some essentials in a small market and plan diving or snorkeling adventures. Maui Dream Dive is a top rated dive shop that can help with any snorkel or dive gear needs. There is also a gym about 7 minutes up the road - convenient drop in rates for travelers. Or just lounge at the on site pool.

Easy to learn to surf here! It doesn't get any more convenient. Rent surfboards and paddleboard gear from the surf store across the street. You are across the street from "The Cove" the best beginner surf spot on the island. Watch your friends and family surf from the lanai while enjoying your morning coffee!
During whale season, the whales will be easy to spot from this top sixth floor "lookout", binoculars provided!

The Island Surf building, in particular, is easy living. A SHORT WALK puts you at the Kihei marketplace and many great restaurants. A GROCERY STORE (Foodland) is an easy stroll. STARBUCKS is another local hangout to enjoy the morning or meet with friends. If you like to watch or participate in roller hockey, tennis games, pickup beach volleyball, basketball, surfing, stand up paddleboarding and be right by the beach we think you have the best location in all of Maui. Kalama Beach Park (across the street) is the place to enjoy these sports or watch the action. We have enjoyed concerts from the lanai. Many local shops are within walking distance for those souvenirs the shoppers love to find. South Maui Gardens-Hidden Food Oasis of Kihei is located directly behind our Complex. Stroll the luscious shaded grounds, enjoy live entertainment, butterfly garden and delicious food. Several eateries and food trucks to enjoy.

A few minutes away is Wailea, with upscale dining, shopping, golfing and miles of beautiful beach.

Everything was perfect!

What stands out the most to me about this place is the thought that went into the furnishings and supplies. You'll find mindful touches everywhere, from the guidebooks about Maui to the variety of cooking utensils/gadgets to a lighted make-up mirror in one of the bathroom drawers. The in-unit washer/dryer was a big plus for me, ditto the dishwasher. The bed was firmer than I'm accustomed to, but it wasn't a problem. And the combination of ceiling fans and air conditioning really does cool the unit as efficiently as the owners claim.This condo faces a very busy road, but the street noise quiets down at night; I heard no road noise in the bedroom. There's a market about a 5 minute walk away, and South Maui Gardens (a food truck pod) is an even shorter walk. Go to the Myth Greek Kitchen food truck for a very large chicken gyro that's the best I've ever had (their gelato rocks, too). I loved to eat breakfast at the glass-topped table and look out to see surfers and paddle boarders doing their thing in the ocean. This unit is comfortable, well-equipped, and would be ideal for almost anyone. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Great stay in the south end of Kihei. Walkable to many great spots. Great View. Highlights for me was having my own washer/dryer in the unit, fast wi-fi, Btita Water Pitcher, and Ice Maker, along with a coffee maker in the room.

This apartment was perfectly located with an incredible ocean view. We loved that so much was within walking distance—great food trucks just around the corner, nearby grocery stores, and a fun shopping area with plenty of souvenirs.The apartment itself was absolutely perfect. It was fully stocked with all the essentials, right down to the spices and coffee filters. Pam and Doug truly thought of everything—the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beach gear in the storage cabinet (chairs, floaties, etc.) made it so easy to enjoy our time by the water.It felt like home from the moment we arrived. We loved our stay and would absolutely choose this place again if we return to Maui.

This was my third stay at Island Surf 603. The owner, Pam, is an excellent communicator. The decor is nice without being overwhelming. The furnishings and fittings are of high quality. The cleaner does a great job.The location is ideal, with a panoramic, postcard-worthy view of Kalama Park and the ocean. While I had a rental car, I enjoyed being able to leave it parked much of the time. My longest walk walk was seven minutes (Starbucks) and my shortest three minutes (Sweet Hula at South Maui Gardens), with my two other frequent stops (Foodland market and Paia Fish Company) in between.I'm not sure if my travels will bring me back to Kihei, but, if they do, I won't stay anywhere except Island Surf 603.

The property has been recently updated and is in extremely good shape. Everything has been decorated nicely and all the amenities are there. As the description says, there is a road in between the apartment block and the beach. The view is perfect, but the road is noticeable during the day. It is just something to know if you are expecting to hear the lapping of the waves from the balcony then this is best done during the night.

WOW! We just came back from our first time on Maui (and first VRBO booking) and we could not be happier with our experience with Pam and Doug's beautiful property. Pam checked in with us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The unit itself is filled with amenities (laundry detergent, so many different kitchen utensils, seasonings, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc) that we didn't even expect. It was SO nice having AC and a washer/dryer. The lanai was so wonderful to sit at and look at the ocean. There is a pretty busy street between the building and the ocean, but the noise didn't really bother us. There was some construction going on in the apartment building on the first floor, but nothing that really deterred from our experience. I think the most impressive part of this booking is the location. It is right in the middle of Kihei, walkable to so many different restaurants and a grocery store, with a food truck park in the LITERAL backyard. I would 100% stay here again, and would highly recommend. I was skeptical of the perfect rating, but after our stay I agree. Thank you Pam and Doug!

Me and my partner really enjoyed our stay at this property. This was a great alternative to staying at a hotel/resort. The condo featured great amenities which made it very easy to cook, clean, and enjoy our time. They provided us with all the necessary cooking supplies (pots, pans, coffee maker, etc.) The host also had many staple ingredients that complimented any shopping that we did (spices, cooking oil, condiments, etc).Additionally, the apartment was located in the heart of Kihei. It was across the street from a public beach and park. Close to some great restaurants and shopping options. All around would book again!

Sitting on the lanai sipping coffee and enjoying the ocean. What a way to wake up in the morning! The condo was very well stocked (better than our home), Pam and Doug have thought of everything. Just add your food. Very clean and ready for you to enjoy your stay…we sure did. Pam informed us about the South Maui Gardens behind the building, lots of food trucks and fun. Centrally located so you can walk to the beach, restaurants & shopping. Pam quickly communicated with us when we had questions. She also checked in on us to make sure our stay was going well. If you are in Kihei and this place is available, get it. You will love it! Thanks again to Pam and Doug for accepting our reservations. Mahalo

This was my second stay in 603, and everything was still top of the line. The location's convenience has been enhanced by the addition of the adjacent Suth Maui Gardens food trucks and entertainment. The cleanliness and amenities are still unsurpassed. And, best of all, owner Pam continues to demonstrate unflagging concern and care for her guests.

Dale S.10.0/10

The property is close to everything. Many restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops, beach, surfing location, sports fields, everything, convenience is the key word. Quite often there is live music and events in the Maui Gardens behind the condo, which is great for activities and fun but its ends early enough to not be disruptive. Front balcony is positioned overlooking the ocean with a great view but the downside is it’s also on a busy street so it can be noisy if sitting out for a coffee or view of the ocean. Location and view trump the noise though. The hosts are great and very receptive. The place is well set up with everything you’d need. We’d definitely stay again!

I stayed at the condo for a month. The most important aspect of this condo is its location. It is close to almost everything one may need: a grocery store (foodland or hawaiian moons), good food and music (kihei caffe), a nice park right across as well a great spot to learn how to surf. The views from the apartment are beautiful and sunsets are absolutely gorgeous. The apartment is sparking clean and is well stocked with all the modern amenities. Pam is a great host and was prompt in answering my questions. I had a great time staying at the condo and will highly recommend a stay here.
