Nice house on the beach

My wife and I stayed here with our two sons (3 & 2). The house is in a great location in Kihei and essentially on the beach. I saw some other reviews that knocked the beach, but I don’t agree. The beach is beautiful for a swim or reading a book. We saw many turtles swimming around as well. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials and they left a nice welcome package. Beach amenities including chairs and umbrella were included. The views from the deck and balcony were so beautiful (perfect sunsets). I would not stay here in warmer months, as there is not air conditioning. When we had multiple days above 85F, it was challenging to stay cool even with all the windows open. This made it tough for our youngest to nap at times, but we all adjusted and still had a great vacation. I would also suggest they replace all the pillows. They really weren’t comfortable (flat, no support) and there weren’t extra anywhere we could find. Marti was accommodating to us and allowed us to add an extra adult a few weeks before our stay. Communication was smooth and we had no real issues. They also provided a nice pack n play for our toddler. Our kids loved all the little geckos running around the house.

What an extraordinary spot for a honeymoon!

We were in heaven! We arrived to the sound of surf and cool breezes blowing through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There, on the kitchen table, was a wildly generous gift basket of fresh fruits, chocolates, cookies, jam, and coffee. The kitchen itself was perfectly equipped, including coffee, tea, and spices. The house ... I can hardly describe how wonderful the house is -- the big decks, the upstairs bedroom with its Jacuzzi tub and surf-and-sunset views, the comfy living room, the privacy-protecting landscaping, and the well-kept lawn that stretches all the way to the sand dunes of Kihei's sweet little beach. It also came equipped with everything we needed. Beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and more. We truly felt more like guests than like vacation renters. Thank you, Marti, for your gracious house and your gracious self. I would just offer one small caveat; If you have mobility problems just know that this house has a LOT of stairs. Its three+ levels are part of its charm, but we got as much exercise walking around inside as we did from walking on the beach.

We Will Be Back

Our family loved this home! The location can’t be beat! Steps from a beautiful, walkable, swimmable beach; short drive (or walk) to amazing food and shopping, but you get to return to a peaceful getaway. The home is beautiful, warm, and filled with Ohana. The lodging next door appears family oriented and was never loud or intrusive. Whale watching every morning off the upper deck (end of March) and sea turtles every day on the beach. Great alternative to a condo rental. We will be back!!

Beautiful Lipoa sunsets

Wonderful time on Maui! The beach is beautiful, turtles come on shore almost daily, perfect whale watching from the deck, and can’t beat the sunset location. Would definitely stay here again. The house is well kept, comfortable, and all you need for a Maui vacation. Property owners were responsive and helpful.

Dreamy Authentic Hawaiian Hideaway

This has been our best VRBO rental by far. The house had everything we needed down to a full array of spices, towels, chairs, welcome basket etc…I could go on and on. The views are nothing less than spectacular. We had a full moon our entire week and felt like we were going to bed gazing out on a scene straight from the play South Pacific. Nothing short of magical. We saw sea turtles sunbathing on the beach, whales offshore and had the privacy you only dream of. Even the grass is divine…lush, soft and spongy; my daughter was surprised she could walk out on the path to the beach without getting “stickers” as we call them in the Carolinas…AKA sand spurs! The design of the house and the decor is definitely old school Hawaii and harkens back to a simpler time. The large wooden French doors opening to the lanai were stunning and let in the Hawaiian breezes that kept the house cool all day.

Great stay in Kihei

We had a wonderful time at this home. We loved the beachfront access and ease of getting everywhere we wanted around Maui. The location can’t be beat!! Marti was a wonderful host providing information and communicating in a timely manner. The house is set up with everything you need for cooking meals and for spending time on the beach!! We loved the afternoon/evening breeze which really kept the house at just the right temperature when we were there.

Great stay

We had a really great time here! The place was well stocked with everything we needed. They also left a wonderful welcome basket with local treats and fruit. The fans in addition to the breeze were enough for us that not having AC wasn't an issue. Wonderful proximity to the beach, and the view is fantastic. There was a minor power outage for a few hours one night but we had excellent communication from Marti to help locate flashlights. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent on multiple fronts!

First off, the host of this property was far more generous than other rental owners, in my experience. They provided so many basics/extras (think laundry detergent, welcome basket with treats, plenty of beach towels, etc.). I felt they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay vs simply make money. LOCATION: so convenient! Close to grocery, so many restaurants, several beaches, yet we felt tucked away, secluded with privacy. NOISE: several other reviews mentioned the resort next door being a little rowdy. This wasn’t our experience at all. It was near silent 24/7. Ironically, the only time we were a tad put off was by our “duplex-mates” who lacked a little social etiquette, but such is life. NO A/C: It might just be luck of the draw and maybe our weather was warmer than usual, but this was an issue for us. Since hardly anyone else mentioned it, I have to assume we might be a little more sensitive to heat but wanted to give an honest perspective. Yes, the afternoons are breezy. But that’s also when the setting sun is pouring into the windows. Each night of our stay the breeze literally STOPPED at 8pm for the next twelve hours. I’ve never seen palms so still. If you have no issues with this, great. But wanted to let folks know since it could be a risk if you’re heat averse. Overall, this place and the host are awesome. An A/C window unit in the upstairs bedroom would’ve made it perfection! Thank you!!

Fantastic place

This is one of the best VRBO places we have ever stayed in. Location is ESCELLENT, steps away from the beach and very close to groceries, restaurants, etc. Also easy to get to Wailea beaches and south (5-10 minutes), Maalea and North (5-10 minutes), and about 30 minutes from Lahaina and 45 minutes from Kanaapali. The property itself is outstanding, with comfy beds, modern appliances, beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided, sauna (which we did not take advantage of), wonderful porches for watching the sunsets and whale spotting, and quite private. Yes, there is a small resort (screend from view by the trees) next door, but it was very quiet and we felt very secluded, especially for being in the heart of Kihei. All beds were comfy, bathrooms were large, just a great, great place. We hope to stay here again (if we ever make it back to Hawaii).

Amazingly Gorgeous Property!

This property is absolutely amazing! The photos online are beautiful and they don't even do it justice. The sunset views are some of the most amazing we've ever seen. The beach, which is about 30 feet from the door, has soft sand and the water has lots of beautiful sea turtles. The water isn't ideal for snorkeling because the visibility isn't great but you are 5 minutes away from many other great snorkeling beaches. The house itself is great! Off street parking is great. Plenty of space. 3 bathrooms, one on each level. Nice size living area with a nice TV. Full size kitchen with all the amenities and plenty of counter space. The master bedroom on the top level is spectacular. Spacious, Jacuzzi tub w/shower, and the most amazing view you can imagine. There is a lanai off of the master bedroom as well that offers even better views than the main floor lanai. Great place for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. The location is pretty good as well. Kihei is a resort/tourist area but the house is in an area secluded from most of that. The benefit of a resort town is that there is plenty of shopping, dining, etc. within walking distance. The only slight downside is the condo/resort next door. It is separated by large hedges so privacy isn't a problem. You are completely private. Sometimes it can get a little noisy next door but it seems like a family oriented resort so after dinner things are completely quiet. The proprietor, Marti, was awesome. Quick to respond to any questions I had through the VRBO site. Even gave us some suggestions on things to do on Maui. Overall this is an amazing property, with an amazing location, and an amazing proprietor. We would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking to visit Maui. We can't wait to return!

I'm really having difficulty finding the words to do this place justice. It's so peaceful and relaxing, it's like having a spiritual reset which u so desperately needed. The morning soaks in the Jacuzzi watching the sunrise, beautiful sunsets on the lanai enjoying a meal with my family, spending hours on the beach in the sun with out a care... we are so thankful we chose to book this home.

LOVED our stay on the beach in Kihei!

This property is one of a kind! Truly, we couldn't recommend a better beach for our family. We loved being able to walk right out to a very quiet beach any time of day! The beautiful sunsets were so memorable, too. The house had everything we needed for our family of six. It did not seem to matter that there was no AC- the ocean breeze at night was great for keeping us cool. It would get warmer during the day inside, but we were never inside. Instead, we were enjoying the beach, nearby restaurants (Kihei Caffe for breakfast is a MUST - totally worth the long lines), and more. We loved our time in Maui and would highly recommend staying in this beautiful home.

Lovely time!

We had a wonderful week here. It’s a duplex, so you will have neighbors. Ours were great and even passed on their extra food before they left. Nice splashing beach. Not well known, so doesn’t get busy. Rented paddle boards and went out in the morning before the wind picked up. Saw some turtles in the ocean. Nice relaxing setting. Great to hear the ocean at night. The roosters are part of the charm - you know you’re somewhere else.

This was the perfect vacation rental for our family. Having the beach right out the back door was perfect. We saw at least one turtle on the beach everyday- so cool. Sleeping in the second floor bedroom with the sliding door open listening to the ocean wants is something I will never forget. We also loved the town of Kihei and the local restaurants... especially Kehei Cafe for breakfast. We could not recommend this rental more.
