Kihei Surfside is a great location for those who want to be close to Wailea and enjoy all the beach activities and food the South Side has to offer. The views from this third floor unit were very nice; overlooking a large green plot of grass, a pool, and of course the ocean on the horizon. We even saw a few whales in the distance. The kitchen was fine and had everything you would need to cook a little.
However, the condo wasn’t all it was led to be. For the price paid, I expected more in the way of comfort and privacy. The bedroom is adjacent to the complex’s hallway and its windows open out facing that direction, which also happens to be right off the main elevator. Although building rules have a strict noise curfew, it it obviously not followed by all. I was awoken early in the morning numerous times by those chatting by the elevators or playing loud music or instruments. It didn’t help either that the mattress is old and we always sunk into the middle.
For my 4-night stay, the bathroom essentials were either not adequate in quality or quantity. The renovations, though touted as new, looked dated. The beach gear offered were dirty and some even broken.
In short, this unit does not embody the luxury equivalent to its steep price and I would encourage the owners to adjust their pricing to what is actually offered.
