The property was wonderful and the views were amazing. The pool was under construction but the noise level was minimal. The only thing we didn’t like was there is no air conditioning. The breeze made it ok with the windows open but knowing there was no air conditioning would have been nice beforehand. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed staying here with beach access nearby, beautiful and well kept lawns, and ocean views. Snorkelling was also available nearby, and for good swimmers, there was a fantastic area filled with coral nearby (near the boat ramp). However, during our stay we needed to move rooms and this caused a lot of disruption. It wasn't clearly communicated to us how the room change would occur and was dependent on us calling up to sort out details, such as room number and door code. The door code changed on us multiple times and it was unclear why the given codes were working for only a brief time. The room change essentially took out a day from our short stay. I would still recommend here, and we would return given our experience with how things operate there it would be a smoother experience the second time around. If we had to change rooms again, I would consider changing to another hotel/condo.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time. We definitely agree that the Maui sun is strong and can cause some serious heat, but at least the beach is right outside your door at this complex. So glad you loved the place and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Give us a call with your name and previous unit number and we can start your next stay. Aloha and Mahalo,

The view out the lanai is idyllic! The grounds are perfect. It's a great location. The Unit 212 itself is old & dated. My only issue and I believe this is seasonal - no a/c, not even in bedroom. It was stifling. Even with all doors, fans & windows open which meant you could hear everything. I think I would stay at complex again, but during cooler season - cause that view is to die for!

No AC and Hot...but beautiful
No AC. 95 plus degrees, 100 percent humidity, no trade winds, stagnant air, sweltering, sweating, miserable week here. All windows and doors open all the time made no difference. I get they can't control the weather but to have no AC and not even a portable unit, come on. I bought fans at Walmart just to move the hot air. On Maui for 2 months but couldn't wait to leave this place. On positive notes, the setting is beautiful. The lawns and ocean views are a 10 out of 10.

We stayed in #113 unit. Earlier comments were not very favorable on this particular unit.. Since it was our first stay at Surfside, we thought it could be for the worst. To our delight, the unit was great! It was clean and comfortable. The unit was well stocked with things one might need in the kitchen, bath, and on the beach. WE were genuinely surprised of all the details that went into making us feel so welcomed. We could walk right out on the grass that felt like a green at a country club golf course. The setting was perfect for a relaxing stay. There is no doubt the next time we return, we will request Kihei Surfside. Our only complaint, although minor, is getting used to the sounds of the birds early in the morning. Other than that, a memorable first time stay that will have lasting memories. Many thanks, Mark

Hit or miss, but GREAT location
This was my second time staying at the Kihei Surfside Condos. I stay there because I love the location and the ability to watch the sunset daily from my room. Staying here is a bit of a crap-shoot however, as each unit is owned by different owners. Last year we had a third-floor unit. We arrived to a lovely gift basket and a clean condo. This year I was in an oceanfront first floor unit; convenient for accessing the pool and grassy area. However, it was not very clean and I spent a bit of time cleaning. Since it is Maui, there is no air conditioning and you manage the tradewinds to keep you cool, which also may mean listening to other guests at the pool or elevator. Regardless, I would definitely stay here again. I may just book through their website where I can see photos of the individual condos. And that's coming from a long-standing, loyal Hotels.com fan.

Great location!
My dive buddy and I stayed here for a week. We had a one-bedroom condo with an ocean view. The location is idea and we were able to walk five minutes to the dive boat. Ocean view with daily sunset viewing was amazing. Full kitchen made it easy to prepare meals when we weren't enjoying the local scene. Our condo owners left us a wonderful welcome basket full of goodies. The only drawback was no air conditioning, and when the trade winds weren't blowing it was a bit warm. Complex itself was fairly quiet other than the fact that our unit overlooked the pool. Would definitely stay here again. Free wifi was a bonus.

Great location for low key vacation
The Kihei Surfside is a fantastic resort with beautiful views and a low key feel. Maui Condo was very attentive. The room had recently been remodeled and was quite comfortable. The bed was less than comfortable but after contacting Maui Condo they came through with a memory foam topper to help aid in the comfort of the bed.

Good location to nice beach and activities.
We spent four days at Kihei Surfside in late September, 2016. Our unit was on the 6th floor so the views were spectacular! (It was unusually hot with white cap winds on a couple of days ~ our first time to visit Hawaii in September ~ I now know I prefer Nov thru Feb). One thing I noticed, some of the units had door stoppers, ours did not. It would have been nice to have the VERY heavy door stay open for the cross breezes especially if the unit does not have air conditioning. The furnishings are lovely and the space just right. We definitely would choose Kihei Surfside again & recommed it to others.

OK hotel. No AC. Limited service. Great location!
This is a decent and clean hotel right next to the ocean and beach -- without having to cross South Kihei road. The views are gorgeous. The lush lawn and BBQ in front are very inviting! But it has no air conditioning and the big windows overlooking the ocean really heat up the room to the 80's and everything feels warm even at night. Remember that the cool breeze is not always blowing, and the ceiling fans spin VERY weakly regardless of the regulator setting. The sheets and towels are only changed ONCE when you move in. So if you stay for multiple days, prepare to reuse dirty towels or wash them yourself at the on site laundry machines. Downstairs office closes at 4PM. Also local staff is barely functional. Not rude but not helpful either. The unit I stayed in was managed by some offsite entity. So if I any questions, the staff would just point me to the toll free number. Of the 2 TVs, only one worked. Trash bags are not provided so you have to buy your own. All in all, I stayed here for the location and the views and would recommend this place as long as you are OK with the basic accommodations, which are quiet common in condos in Hawaii.
Beautiful view one would see from almost all units - ocean, pool, BBQ, lawn
Lush green lawn was soo soothing to the eyes!

Great job on the building facelift, although the motion detector lights over the lawn are annoying when you want to sit out by the Lanai at night and watch the stars. Condo 113 is a nice unit, but lack of a corkscrew was a little annoying. A little short on beach towels as there were only two.

The Surfside is perfectly located. Every condo has a great view. You can walk to several beaches or just walk for pleasure. The Surfside has pool, grills, and a large lawn with various games. The beach town of South Kihei has plenty of shops & restaurants a stone's throw away. We've stayed here twice and love it--we'll definitely come back.

Surfside is great. Get a renovated room
We have stayed at the Surfside several times. We been very pleased with the building with the past units. It is in a great location, nice and quiet. The grassy area is fantastic, peaceful and private. This was our first time in the ground floor and enjoyed the ease of walking out to the grassy area. Its unfortunate that the bedroom window faces the parking lot and were often woken by people coming from parking their cars and continuing their conversations past your room. With the unit itself, so many things in it are old and shabby. The bedding looks very old and tired. The towels were stained and tattered. The kitchen is the original and barely any finish left on it. I only sat on the sofa on a towel as it appeared very dingy. Even an inexpensive item like a shower curtain hasn't been replaced. This one looks to be original as well. The beautiful breeze kept the condo nice and cool but also blew in leaves etc. There is no broom in the unit to sweep up the floor. The beach chairs provided are of the poorest quality and seat is torn. The cooler provided also has a broken strap making it useless as well. The ceiling fans have thick black edges and appear to have not been wiped off for a very long time. We were last minute in making our booking and paid a high price for the room. This is our 19th trip Maui and the first time I have to write a negative review.

Photos are not representative of the real deal
These units are privately owned, therefore pictures are of a model and what you end up with are OLD tired dirty units in need of remodel. They cling to the defense of the location and views which are spectacular BUT be mindful you will be sleeping on a 20 plus year old bed, foam pillows that are as old and flat,walking on filthy carpet. If units were ALL updated and the same as dipicted in photo that would be great but they are NOT and you will pay top dollar for the location and view.

Nice condo, great location.
Great views and location, but large grassy area seemed to be a draw to dogs running around, especially ones owned by those who live there. Not a dog person so did not care for this as I felt it was for human guests to enjoy. On site office personal not much help as kept saying only do outside of place needed to call condo rental for any inside needs, so frustrating on that note. Nice size, with a bit more up keep would be great, ie overhead fan came apart, was fixed previous with wrong size screws, thus continued problem. No Ac was a bit of problem, will stay different place next visit.

Great ocean views
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was a wonderful location right on the beach with super views from the lanai. The layout of the unit optimized the ocean views. This condo was well equipped for cooking and was better stocked than many we've rented. It is not a hotel, so no daily maid service, which suited us fine but may not suit everyone. The grounds were very pretty and well maintained, with shuffle board, bocce ball and croquet available. Although the Surfside is on a bit of rocky shoreline, steps away is a beautiful white sand beach. Wonderful place for a relaxing beach vacation.

Great 12 days on Maui beach
There is a problem with this hotel - all bedrooms face hotel parking lot and this is noisy. Some people departure for sightseeing or fishing very early, near 4 AM and arrive at midnight or later. They talk, moving their things from and to condo, opening and closing car doors, starting and stopping motors and this happens exactly near you bedroom window. Our condo was on second floor, so we could sleep peacefully only couple hours. It could be a solution to ask about 5 floor condo, but we are not sure… Except this issue, actually designed to have all condos with ocean view main room, location, beach, condo equipment was wonderful.

Great location, easy access to fabulous beach and convenience of Kihei town. Wonderful views, oceanfront condos (closest units are lower end numbers 301,204, etc.). Well-kept , friendly complex. Very quiet in evening, everyone very respectful of quiet hours(after 9). We had to move out of our first condo on the second day due to plumbing fiasco. Was not as pleased with the first two units Maui condo and home (leasing company) referred us to. The third was nice and worked out fine. I wished after the hassle they would have shown us the nicest one to start with, but it worked out fine in the end. Great value, lovely location, true oceanfront (not across street).

Pleasantly surprised
This was our first time to Maui. I would say from other complexes in the area this is a nice middle class condo. It hasn't been updated in a while, but when you consider how much time you are spending in the room, it fits the need. The grounds and view from the room were great. It's nice to have the BBQ's to use, even though we ended only using it one night. We spoke with others that have being coming to this complex for years. If we return to Maui we would definitely use this condo complex again. Location wasn't an issue since we were out and about a lot the whole week. I would say this is a more quiet relaxed area, but I couldn't say what it is like in the height of the season. We went in September, which I think is a great time of year to go, if you are looking to beat the crowds.
