About this apartment rental
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!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
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.
