Private Cozy Studio walking distance to beaches, shops, restaurants and bars

Important update notice: The studio is located in The Island Surf Condominium and is zoned as Condo/Hotel and as such is NOT subject to any of the efforts to convert short term vacation rentals to long term rentals. You do not have to be concerned at all in making a vacation reservation at this property.

This studio is perfect for the vacationers who wants to spend their time out and about exploring the island and still have a very nice, comfortable place to come home to. It's on the 4th floor of The Island Surf in South Kihei and within walking distance of many shops, deli's, beaches, restaurants, and bars. It looks out towards the east and the beautiful Haleakala volcano. Although I would highly recommend a rental car to explore the island, the studio's close location to many things makes it ideal for those who choose to not rent a car (walking score - 78).

This 240 sq. ft. studio comes with a full bathroom, a beautiful new walk-in tiled shower, a very comfortable queen size bed, AC, ceiling fan, refrigerator, a microwave, 4 cup brew coffee maker, toaster, dishes glass ware and utensils. It has cable TV, Wi-Fi, and USB chargers.

Listen to your favorite music through your mobile device's music apps or library and the Bluetooth Bose Mini Sound speaker.

Included is everything you need for the beach - cooler, ice packs, food keepers, beach chairs, mats, towels, and umbrellas. The studio is quiet - located on the backside of the complex so it does not get the street noise.

The ocean and beautiful Kalama Park are directly across the street where surfing and stand-up paddle boarding lessons take place. It's the perfect spot for whale watching during season and taking in those spectacular Maui sunsets. Surf boards and bikes can easily be rented from shops on the first floor.

The beautiful sandy Kamaole beaches are a short distance just to the south and continuing all the way to Wailea and Makena, home of world famous golf courses.

The studio is perfect for one or two adults - no children please.

I've been in the hospitality business for many years and have set this studio up to please any traveler who wants a very nice, clean accommodation without spending an arm and a leg. If this fits your travel style you will be very pleased with this charming place and the Aloha it offers.

Update on the Lahaina fire:
I am sure you are aware of Lahaina and the tragic event of the fire. Lahaina is completely gone. It will take many years to rebuild. But the rest of the west side of the island where Lahaina is located is fully functioning and open for business.
The Governor and Maui Mayor have emphasized that the rest of the island is still open for tourists to come and enjoy. Kihei has been unaffected. Vacationers are welcome to come and enjoy the South/Central and East part of the island that still has many spectacular places and fun things Maui has to offer. Governor Green has been on national TV recently advising that the best thing interested people can do to help the island recover is to come and vacation here and support our local businesses.

Here's a link to a recent article on vacationing on Maui after the wildfire:
https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20230918-what-you-need-to-know-about-visiting-maui-after-the-wildfires.
UPDATE: Now after a year since the tragic fire, Lahaina has been cleared of the fire debris and the first homes are being rebuilt. New housing projects are underway and the fire victims are beginning to move in.

I live on Maui and know the island well. If you have any questions please feel free to message me.

PLEASE NOTE:
We have been informed by the management of the condo that they are going to begin some upgrades & repairs to the building. These will be external in nature but may be noisy at times. The work will take place only during regular weekday daytime work hours when most visitors are out exploring the island. Although the studio itself is not involved in any of this, you may notice or hear construction taking place to the building. They are trying to minimize the impact on guests and residents as much as possible. Due to delays in the county finalizing approval for these upgrades it will still be several months before any of this construction begins. I will update this when permits are finally granted.
UPDATE; The project is now underway and should be completed by mid November. The project does not directly affect the studio at all. It is taking place on the front of the first floor and the studio is located on the 4th floor and backside of the building. I am offering discounts or partial refunds for all construction days as compensation for any inconvenience. Please feel free to contact me for details or if you have any questions. Cloy

Kihei Perfect Location
Kihei studio is perfectly located yet very quiet for those of us that enjoy some peace and quiet on our vacation time. Coffee, shave ice, food including food trucks are all within walking distance. Nice park is right across the street and beaches are also close enough that you can grab a beach chair and stroll on down. This was perfect for my wife and I and this is now our Maui go to condo.

Absolutely amazing from start to end
First off, thank you so much to Cloy for providing us a place during our trip to Maui. Cloy was always attentive and communicative. Every time I had a question, he responded promptly. I never needed ANYTHING as Cloy provided everything from shampoo/soap, coffee maker, a fridge, beach chairs, towels, beach umbrella, and even a portable cooler!! Cloy also leaves a very detailed and simple expectation and rules for guests to follow. Parking is free and accessible. The location is right in Kihei which was very nice as everything was in walking distance or a short drive! 100% recommend Cloy’s place as he was nothing but amazing. Even took delivery of my sunglasses for me! Can’t wait to return next time!

Fantastic Kihei Getaway
Cloy's spot is perfectly situated at the center of Kihei, well within walking distance to restaurants, bars, beaches, and more. The room is minimal but perfect for a couple who is going to spend most of their time enjoying the island (as you should!). The AC was a huge bonus that helped us sleep comfortably in the evenings. Parking was plentiful and secure at night. Overall, we would love to stay at Cloy's place every time we come to Maui!

Perfect location
My girlfriend and I loved this studio. We stayed for 6 nights and used it as a base to explore the island, before spending a few days on a resort. It is definitely small, but it comes very well equipped (beach chairs, umbrella and towels were super useful, we used them everyday!) and you can't beat the location (walking distance to many food options, including this huge food truck park). Parking was super easy and property felt very safe. Cloy is also really nice and communication with him was very easy. Highly recommend this place, would definitely stay again. It was also one of the cheapest options for staying in Kihei.

Loved our stay in Kihei!
We loved our stay in Kihei. The room was very clean upon arrival. Checkin was as described and there were no problems. The room is a great size for a short stay. We used the pool and beach gear too and loved that it was available. It was very quiet at night which made sleeping easy. The bed was quite comfortable. The air conditioner was a bit noisy so we used the fan instead and that kept the room just right. Thank you for our wonderful stay in Maui!

Perfect location, walkable to beach park across the street, open-air market plus grocery store; just right for single traveler, everything I could want for a 5-day stay was in the unit. Met Cloy a number of times in the parking lot, we share a few passions. Thanks for everything, including discount offered for construction noise.

Lovely Studio
I’m not one to write reviews, but I have to give a shout out to Cloy for his studio. I was extra happy upon arrival that there was water stocked in the fridge and ice in the freezer. The bed was clean and came with a soft blanket. Plus there’s extra beach equipment in the closet (chairs, towels, umbrellas, cooler, etc), which I didn’t end up using but it’s nice to have available if needed. I appreciate Cloy for reaching out during my stay, making sure everything went well. Personally, this little studio was more than enough for a solo trip. After a full day of exploring, all I needed was a place to shower and sleep. The location of this building is central to everything. Downstairs there’s a convenience store which I often went to for drinks and snacks. Plus there’s other small shops on the ground floor. Next to the building there’s an alleyway of food trucks, highly recommended checking out the wide selection of eats and treats. Walk across the street to the beach/park at sunrise and catch the sea turtles up on the rocks. Coming from a person who loves walking, everything is in walking distance. Great night life as well. Overall my first trip to Maui was amazing, and I can’t wait to come back and stay here again in the future. Mahalo Cloy

Great location!
Small studio, no balcony. But great big upgraded shower! Great location, close to nice beaches! Good restaurants near by. Went to Ulua Beach, where was nice big waves to jump on. The host was very good to us, let us check in at 12, and check out at 12! We stayed here for 4 nights only, to finish off our vacation, because we stayed 7 nights in Lahaina, before this. The AC unit was very loud, couldn't sleep, so i opened window and turned on fan on slow, then was better. The pillows were great and soft! And the bed was comfortable, but little bit small for our liking. Overall was good. Across the street there is ocean where people learning to ride on waves, but there is no beach to swim. You have to drive 3-5 minutes to the beach. We enjoyed watching sunsets and swimming at Keawakapu Beach and Kamaole Beach I, II, III!
