About this property

Stunning Views from only double lanai Penthouse unit.


Fresh, remodeled one bedroom, best unit in the building!

This double lanai, dual view top floor penthouse is absolutely over the top!

NOTE: You may have heard about Maui banning some vacation rentals. The County Council is voting to ban 7,000 units (out of the 14,000 total) from renting to tourists starting in July of 2025. 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 "Minatoya 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.


Unit 606 is a very unique property. It was originally built as the developer of the building's private suite. Based on the size, spaciousness and views of the unit, he used it as a location to host cocktail parties and neighborhood gatherings. Over its life, the unit has had very few owners and mostly was used as a gathering space.

We recently purchased it and proceeded with a large scale remodel. The results are spectacular. New double pane glass to provide silence when you want, and huge doors to bring the outside in when you prefer.

Modern, fully updated spotless condo with TWO great views of the ocean. Because of the unique corner aspect of the unit, you also get views of Haleakala and the West Maui Mountains. There are only a handful of units in all of Kihei with these views. Everything is new, from the stainless appliance package to the front load washer and dryer, Egyptian cotton beach towels and super high quality linens. This unit is a huge one bedroom with nearly 1000 square feet of open, airy space.

-Two commanding ocean views from two different lanais: take in the outstanding view through the wall to wall, floor to ceiling glass wall in the living room/kitchen and a different view from the master bedroom
-completely remodeled: everything is new, including appliances, front load washer/dryer, furniture, bedding and all utensils, right down to the Henkel knives
-great, central location: walk to shopping, dozens of restaurants, beaches, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling and more. There are days we never use our car!
-large bedroom with a cal-king bed
- full bathroom bright with new tile, granite and cabinets
- split a/c system provides near silent cooling in bedroom and living room.
-free Wi-Fi, long distance to US and Canada, cable
-free parking
-beach toys included, snorkels sets, chairs, cooler, umbrella, thick beach towels, boogie boards


Every time we enter our condo, we are struck by how beautiful the views are. One wall of the living room is entirely made of glass, and the light fills the whole space. In addition, one wall of the master bedroom is glass also, with commanding views of the south Maui coastline. The glass has been replaced with thick double pane glass to provide quiet and to moderate the Maui sun. Most units haven't invested in the expense of new glass. At $22,000, I understand why, but the increase in comfort is extreme. I wouldn't rent a unit that did not have updated glass. The lanais are over 16 feet wide and provide a great space to hang out, watch the waves and surfers, and enjoy the tropical weather.

We have furnished our condo to be modern and comfortable. You will find full sized couch and chairs, a king sized bed, tons of storage, large closets. The kitchen is outfitted with a new whirlpool appliance suite including microwave, dishwasher, self cleaning glass topped range and refrigerator with ice maker. We even have special outlets that have USB chargers built into them. We provide top quality pans, knives and small appliances.

Free WiFi, phone calls to the US and Canada. A large flat screen TV in the living room and another flat screen in the bedroom. The living room has a blu ray player. There is a radio with a provided cord to plug in your ipad, ipod, iphone or MP3 player as well as a speaker that can connect to your phone or iPod via Bluetooth.

Island surf is in a great central location. Immediately to the north is a area the locals call 'the Triangle'. It has lots of shops and scores of restaurants and night spots. Across the street is Kalama park, offering playgrounds, roller hockey, volleyball, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and wide open spaces to play catch or just hang on the grass. You can watch your friends and family play in the surf right from the front room.

A short drive to the south puts you in the heart of Wailea with upscale dining, shopping and more wonderful beaches.

Island surf houses many great businesses. You can rent bicycles, get a manicure or spa treatment, book a scuba dive, rent surf boards, or eat a great plate lunch all without never leaving the building.

There is a pool and BBQ area on the second floor, both with ocean views.

-our on-island contact is within walking distance to the condo and will promptly attend to any issues you may encounter.

If you need other dates, you can check out our other rental in the same building. It is a two bedroom, two bath #454560.

Since we have two units in the building, and work with the owner of the unit adjacent to ours on the 6th floor, we can offer wedding party accommodations with berths for up to 12 people.

The unit has a king bed and we have a port a crib for an infant. The unit can handle two adults sharing the same bed and a toddler or an infant. Total of three guests.

Please check out the video of the unit we posted. The sound is on in the video, if you listen closely you can hear my wife's footsteps. The unit is just that quiet....


We have a two bedroom/two bathroom unit in the same building. Some guests combine the units as they have family and friends come during their stay. The two bedroom unit is vrbo.com # 454560.

Island Surf Building is entirely NON SMOKING. Owners and guests are not allowed to smoke in units, on walkways, on Lanais or in common areas. There is one very small designated smoking area in a corner of the back parking lot. Quite honestly, if there is a smoker or vaper in your party, this is not a good fit for your vacation. My advice would be to seek other accommodations. Anyone found smoking in a restricted area is subject to a significant fine.

This condo is licensed for vacation rentals, Hawaiian tax id. #TA-042-517-0944-01. Beware of condo owners not providing their tax number, often they are scams or not licensed. If you are looking at a rental that does not provide their number, they are probably operating illegally. Please be careful, the state is enforcing these and you may find yourself without a place to stay when you arrive. Try googling 'nonpermitted vacation rentals target of enforcement' to see a recent article on the issue. Kauai recently closed 320 non-permitted vacation rentals with two weeks notice and all the guests were left without accommodations.

Best stocked condo in Maui
This place was amazing! The views from both the living room and bedroom were unbelievable. Location could not be better, easily walk to Kihei Cafe (less than 500 feet), Foodland grocery store and/or the food trucks at the Kihei Food Oasis. Matt was a great host, he is responsive and knowledgeable about things to do & see. This place is easily the best stocked place we have stayed. Full line of beach equipment and the kitchen had just about everything you could imagine. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone going to Maui.

Kihei Paradise!
This was our first time in Maui and we had an absolutely great stay! We came for our honeymoon and this was the perfect unit for 2 people! Though they do provide a blow up mattress and you can easily fit another 2 people in living room area. I can’t get over how convenient the location was! It is walking distance to many (amazingly good) food trucks and restaurants, grocery store and beaches! The unit also provides anything you may need for a warm sunny day at the beach (snorkel, boogie boards, chairs and coolers). The views from both lanais are stunning and we loved watching the surfers in the morning with our coffee! Matt and Colleen were easy to communicate with and were even able to pull off an early check in for us! We had the absolute best time and plan to come back to this unit! Maholo, Matt and Colleen!

Wonderful Unit and an amazing week!
This unit is beautiful! Clean, fresh & views you cannot beat! With the two lanai’s you can see nothing but palm trees and blue water! The location is great! Restaurants and shops within a short walk! Beaches close by as well if you haven’t rented a car. The condo is very well stocked and has extras such as beach towels and chairs. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and had an amazing week. The main floor (shops/businesses) is under construction but the progress we saw in our week already looks great! Didn’t disrupt anything for us. Ample parking in the back lot. Felt safe here. We hope to stay again very soon! Mahalo to the owners! Highly recommend!!

Great location in Kihei
We had a great stay in Matt and Colleen's condo. The Condo is spacious with beautiful views of the ocean from the many large windows. The condo is well kitted out and has all you need for a beach vacation. The bed is very comfortable and we were able to catch up on sleep in the week. We had coffee on the mani each morning but it's a short walk to many coffee shops and restaurants. Communication with Matt was stellar. Would highly recommend if you are thinking of staying in Kihei.

A beautiful week on Maui
A wonderful condo with 2 lanais, each having tables and chairs overlooking a park and a beach with many beginning surfers practicing their skills. Coffee every morning watching volleyball games in the park from either lanai. Large free parking lot in the back…very convenient. A fully equipped condo with all the comforts of home including beach chairs, ice chests, masks and snorkels and lovely large towels for the beach. A kitchen completely stocked with all the appliances and gadgets for a great vacation. Comfortable king size bed with high quality linens. Many, I mean MANY, restaurants within walking distance with food from around the world and shops for all your needs. This was, by far, our best VRBO experience!

We stayed at Matt and Colleen's condo last week. I can't say enough about the exceptional location. So much to do within walking distance. If you are a golfer, there is a very nice reasonably priced course within a 5-10 minute drive from the condo. Parking is in the back of the building so no worries trying to find street parking as you come and go from exploring the island. There is also a very cool food truck park behind the building with almost every type of food available. With regards to the actual unit, the king size bed has the most wonderfully comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. (no exaggeration!). There are a variety of masks, fins and snorkels...beach chairs...boogie boards and more. The Lanai has full water views and the location allows for great people watching from above :-) Surf lessons are taught via the surf shop next door and provide some interesting entertainment while having your morning coffee on the Lanai. Can't say enough about good things about this exceptional home away from home. We hope to return. A big thank you to Matt and Colleen.

Best view on the beach!
We felt that we were coming to stay in someone's home--who had arranged everything for our comfort. It's the top floor, truly best view on the beach, looked like a painting of palm trees, water and sky! Whenever we were in the suite, we opened the sliding glass doors--the temperature was perfect around the clock, the nightime quiet was a good contrast to the street sounds of the day. We followed all of Matt's recommendations--the food trucks around the corner, the lilikoi french toast up the street. Matt was in good contact, let us know that we could check in early, of which we took advantage. We made multiple stops on this trip, all great, but this was my favorite!

Selfishly I want this place to stay a hidden gem but because Matt and Colleen were such fantastic hosts and we absolutely loved their space, I’m leaving this review for future guests. The condo exceeded our expectations. Everything from the location to the space itself, we found ourselves wanting to spend time just relaxing on the lanai, watching the sunrises and sunsets, and not to mention seeing so many whales. Although we had a rental car, it was a nice option having beaches and food nearby that we could walk to every day. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this place. If you’re considering staying here don’t hesitate, book now.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Keller

Host profile image
We live in the Seattle area and have been visiting Hawaii frequently for the past 15 years. After visiting different islands, we settled on Maui as the best combination of recreation and amenities. We believe you simply cannot do better than Maui. There is a reason the movie stars vacation here!

After looking at scores of condos, we snapped up our unit in the Island Surf. It had the best combination of views, layout, and location. We have found that we can park our car for days at a time and walk to everything. Our unit was dated and tired, so we launched into a full scale remodel. We love the newness of the unit now and the modern feel.

Our plan is to retire and split our time between Maui and Seattle area. Until then, we wanted to share our great location and remodeled unit with others.

We hope you enjoy Maui as much as we do.

Aloha,
Matt and Colleen Keller

Why they chose this property

We have seen Island Surf on all of our trips to Maui. In fact, we have rented surf boards on the bottom floor in the building. When this unit came for sale, we jumped at the opportunity. After all, this is the top floor Penthouse unit. It is truly the best one in the building. It has such a great location, is within walking distance to so many amenities, and the unit has great views with a open and airy feel. It also was almost 1000 square feet, huge by Hawaiian standards. After looking at Island Surf for so many years, we are still in awe that we were able to buy here.

What makes this property unique

The best benefit of Island Surf is the view. Following close behind is the size and layout of the unit, 1000 square feet with two walls entirely of glass providing a great, open feeling. Combine that with the central location and ability to walk to so many attractions and you just can't beat it.
