The Surfside Resort is located in a premium location in Kihei, HI. All rooms face the ocean and the views are spectacular. Our condo was in the middle of the complex on the third floor. The rooms are not large, but there is ample space for two guests. While it would be possible to have a third guest sleep on the sofa, this would not be comfortable accommodations for 4 people.
The resort is right on the ocean and at a premium location for views, snorkeling, swimming and beach hikes. There is a huge lawn area next to the resort with full access as long as you remove any chairs or personal items when you leave. It is owned by the public works next door, but appears to be maintained by the resort. It is a real bonus in terms of space available.
The pool is small and there is no beach on the property, however, there is a really nice beach just a short walk on the other side of the Mana Kai Maui resort next door. Parking spaces are limited and they are very narrow, which will make parking with anything larger than a compact car a chore. While we always found an available spot, we were often the last car in for the evening.
There are no food services available on property and you must either drive or walk next door to two available restaurants. There is also no air conditioning in this particular condo. They do offer fans, but it was a bit warm at the beginning of the evening. If you leave the window open expect a lot of rooster calls in the early morning. The condo does have smoke detectors and they were serviced while we were in attendance. The condo was clean and bug free and for two people it is a really nice stay.
