A note to all of our prospective guests: Island Surf is undergoing construction on the ground floor, front of the building. How will this affect you? Some of our first floor shops may be closed. There may be construction noise at times. Pool and BBQ area remains open. Parking is still available for guests in the back parking lot. If you have any concerns about this, please contact owner for more details.
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...

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!

Great location and very well equipped! We didn’t need anything for our stay. Everything was clean and centrally located to everything we wanted to explore on the island. The view is spectacular!!! Patty was wonderful to communicate with also:-) thanks for the wonderful week and 1/2!! Mahalo

The place was really nice!
You can walk to a bunch of beaches straight out of the door and there's a great food truck area right behind the building. Definitely recommend it!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.
