Experience Maui on your terms at the legendary Kihei Surfside Resort in south Kihei (built in 1975). This is R&R in the best sense of a vacation. Enjoy your coffee on the lanai looking directly at the island of Lanai! Or, on the show-stopping front lawn as the waves break below you. This second floor condo (#208) includes granite countertops, bamboo cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, including dishwasher, a 55-inch flat screen smart Ultra 4L LG TV with the full menu of channels via Spectrum, toll-free calling back to North America, and Bluetooth-enabled sound Marshall system that streams directly from your smartphone. A new queen size sleeper sofa sits in front of the panoramic ocean views. The unit is finished throughout with beautiful Italianate tile. The bathroom has a stone-tiled walk-in shower. The bedroom is outfitted with a king bed, wood shutters and a multi-speed overhead fan. With the new queen sofa bed, this unit sleeps 3 comfortably, and is fully furnished with comfy linens. This resort (in the best sense of "resort") — but yet, a home away from home. Equipped with beach towels, a locking safe for valuables, free high speed internet with wi-fi access and free long distance to US & Canada. Beach chairs are available from the front office on the 1st floor. This immaculate Kihei Surfside condo has everything you’ll need for your dream Hawaii vacation. Our oceanfront vacation condo at the beautiful Kihei Surfside Resort in Kihei, Maui, is steps away from the ocean and offers turtle, dolphin and seasonal (Dec-April) whale watching, and spectacular Maui sunsets all year round. One of our favorite past times is drinking our morning coffee on the lawn and watching the sea turtles swimming in the water in front of the building. The islands of Lanai, Kaho’olawe and also and Molokini Crater can be seen from the property. The rocky beach front offers excellent snorkeling, best accessed from the beautiful golden sand of Keawakapu beach, one of Maui’s best beaches, just steps away behind the neighboring Mana Kai Resort. A 5-minute drive takes you to all the shops and restaurants of Kihei town or the Shops at Wailea. The condo is at the end of a long driveway from S. Kihei road, so that you don’t hear the traffic noise – just the ocean waves, birds chirping, and the sweet, incredible trade winds. We are directly oceanfront and the Pacific trade winds blow in right off the ocean each afternoon. These trade winds, along with ceiling fans in the living and bedrooms, keep the condo comfortable for most people. If you prefer a cooler temperature a brand new Daikin air conditioner has just been installed in the bedroom as of March 2024. We are unit 208, on the 2nd floor, in the center of the building, the view looks out across the lawn directly to the ocean. And, parking is free. People who have stayed at the Kihei Surfside love it and tend to return year after year. Hawaii tax ID #: GE-148-048-9472-02 and TA-148-048-9472-01
