Kihei Surfside – Direct Oceanfront Living at Keawakapu’s North End

Tucked at the north end of world-renowned Keawakapu Beach, Kihei Surfside offers one of the most unique oceanfront living experiences in all of South Maui. With unobstructed panoramic views and direct access to the coastline, this boutique vacation rental complex delivers a front-row seat to sunsets, whale watching, and the peaceful rhythm of the Pacific.

Iconic Oceanfront Location in South Kihei

Built in 1975 and located at 2936 S Kihei Rd, Kihei Surfside is a six-story concrete building comprising just 83 hotel-zoned units, offering a rare sense of space and tranquility directly on the ocean. The property borders the lush, lawn-covered coastline and enjoys a prime position with Wailea just to the south and central Kihei a short drive north.

Unlike many complexes in the area, Kihei Surfside is situated ocean-side of the road, meaning there’s nothing between your lanai and the water but swaying palms and open sky. Units are primarily configured as 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom floorplans, many of which have been updated with modern interiors while retaining a timeless island feel.

Resort-Style Amenities in a Boutique Setting

Despite its smaller size, Kihei Surfside offers beautifully maintained grounds and amenities that support both quiet relaxation and visitor appeal:

🌊 Direct Ocean Access – Steps from the lava rock coastline and a short stroll to Keawakapu Beach
🌴 Expansive Oceanfront Lawn – A signature feature of the property, perfect for lounging, sunset viewing, or morning yoga
