Island Surf – Flexible Vacation Rental Living in the Heart of South Kihei, Maui

Experience the best of South Kihei living at Island Surf, a vacation rental condo complex located directly across from Kalama Park and just moments from The Cove, one of Kihei’s most popular surf spots. With flexible floor plans, ocean-close convenience, and walkable access to beaches, restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities, Island Surf is a standout option for buyers looking for a Maui condo that offers both lifestyle appeal and strong rental potential.

A Prime South Kihei Location

Built in 1973 and situated on approximately 1.55 acres, Island Surf is comprised of 82 condominium residences in the heart of South Kihei. The complex is located along South Kihei Road, directly across from Kalama Park, giving owners and visitors easy access to tennis courts, pickleball courts, a skate park, open green space, beach access, and the oceanfront walking path.

Just next door is The Cove, one of Maui’s best-known beginner surf breaks and a favorite location for surf lessons, paddleboarding, and sunset watching. From Island Surf, you are also within walking distance to South Maui Gardens, local restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, beach parks, and some of Kihei’s most popular casual hangout spots.

This is the kind of location where you can park your car and enjoy the South Kihei lifestyle on foot.

Flexible Floor Plans with Lock-Off Potential

One of the most unique features of Island Surf is the flexibility of its floor plans. The complex includes both 1-bedroom, 1-bath units and 2-bedroom, 2-bath units. Many of the 2-bedroom units offer a lock-off configuration, creating added flexibility for owners and guests.

This lock-off setup allows certain units to be used as one full 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo or separated into a studio and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit. For owners, this can create a more flexible way to use the property, especially for those who want to stay in one side while renting out the other.

From an investment perspective, this layout can be especially appealing because it allows owners to enjoy their Maui property while still maintaining potential rental income.

Island Surf Amenities and Convenience

Island Surf offers a convenient setup for both owners and visitors. The complex includes parking, a pool area, and commercial spaces on the ground level, adding to the ease of staying in the middle of South Kihei.

Unlike properties tucked away from the action, Island Surf places you right where many visitors want to be: close to the beach, close to surf, close to restaurants, and close to the everyday energy of Kihei.
