On Maui's sunny south shore, is the romantic Honu’ea cottage, where quiet peaceful living is a way of life. Honu'ea (Hawksbill Turtle) is named after the endangered turtles that come and nest on the sandy shores in front of the property. Honu’ea is perfect for honeymooners or couples just wanting a unique tranquil getaway. The cottage is located on an acre of landscaped grounds with an unobstructed beachfront view of the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from the front door you can take long walks on miles of uncrowded sandy beach.
Honu’ea is a one bedroom, one bath Hawaiian style cottage. The cottage is located on the second story with its own private entrance. This cottage has a great open floor plan that allows for ocean views from almost every room.

Just the right amount of everything. Comfortable tasteful decor with the benefit of the beach just steps away. Beautiful location and easy access to hiking, snorkeling and outdoor exploration. Enjoyed every second of our week there.
We had a very pleasant stay at the cottage. It is very well appointed with everything you need to enjoy the beach. The kitchen is well stocked we were very comfortable. The view is lovely and the location is great with many dining excellent dining options within walking distance. We definitely recommend this property!
Second time here - stayed longer. Love the facility, love the location, thoroughly enjoyed Maui!
This unit works out perfect for my husband and I is incredibly comfortable and pleasant. Working with the manager is very easy and she is very accommodating. I’ve already booked for next year!
Cozy, clean, absolutely priceless view, easy access to ocean and poised for sunset watching indoors and out. Amenities were perfect and everything we needed was a short drive away (other beaches, amazing food, shopping, local life, food trucks, and community.
We had a wonderful time in this private little cottage. Good location, with shops and restaurants nearby. Great ocean views.
Btw, the Maui Aquarium is a great stop for an afternoon and lunch in the outdoor restaurant was very good.
We had such an amazing stay here. Everything we needed was here. The beach chairs were an awesome touch. We will be back! The turtles were magnificent.
My husband and i stayed here for our honeymoon and we didnt want to leave! The cottage looks exactly like the photos. The street is fairly quiet and you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We wanted something private and away from crowds of people and thats exactly what we got. We both highly recommend you book a stay here!!
This was the perfect place to stay, private and quiet to spend a 25th anniversary. We absolutely loved it. We will highly recommend this place to anyone that goes to Maui.
Loved our stay here! Walking distance to sea turtles, short distances to some of the best, affordable restaurants Maui has to offer. Perfect for a couple's getaway.
We had a wonderful stay with a very nice unit and great views, close to the beach, turtles on the beach, great little neighborhood close to stores and restaurants.
This was perfect for everything my wife and I wanted for our honeymoon stay in beautiful Maui. The owners have many accommodations on the property that we felt went above and beyond expectation. The short walk to the beach was perfect for sunset viewing, hanging with the turtles, and more! Shops, restaurants, etc., are all within walking distance from the property and super convenient. Can’t recommend this place enough!
The cottage was a perfect place for my husband and I to relax and unwind, even watch whales from the lanai! It really looks just like it does in the photos, gorgeous ocean views and on a peaceful street yet walking distance to restaurants and food trucks. The place was very well equipped, even providing beach chairs for our use. We hope we can return again one day!
This cottage is an absolute dream. The location, amenities and view all exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and in close walking distance to many great restaurants and conveniences. Everything was just perfect!
It surpassed our expectations- fabulous experience
We can’t say enough about this incredible property. Perfect location and fully appointed. Beautifully designed we will be back. What an incredible gem.
This place was so quiet and beautiful. Saw turtles everyday right on the beach out back and whales all the time. The place was clean and so fun to stay at. The little deck has such a great view! We were right in the mix of all the fun things to do in Kihei and walked most evenings just to enjoy. We will come back! Thank you for an amazing stay.
This breezy, private upper floor property was perfect for our 8 night stay. It is a cozy, spotless, well appointed one bedroom apartment with every amenity, including a BBQ & beach chairs. Located in a quiet walkable neighborhood, with direct beach access and wonderful views from the deck! Great airflow throughout the apartment as well, and fully screened so we barely used the available AC. This place is a gem. We are already planning our return!
The listing is extremely accurate, turtles were beautiful to watch, the view is amazing, very comfortable home while in Maui! The cottage had everything we needed and more. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!
We really enjoyed our stay. Its a great cottage with a really good loacation. The view off the lanai is hard to beat! You could walk to several places if you wanted to. The small kitchen with washer/dryer came in very handy during our stay. The cottage is very quiet and we usually had the beach to ourselves except for the occasional walker by. You will need water shoes because of all the coral but can walk out rather far into the water if you do. If you want a bigger beach then Kamaole Beach is just a short drive away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we chose to stay in South Maui next time.
The cottage was a perfect place to celebrate our 18th Anniversary. It came with everything we needed and more. Great experience, and the location in a quiet neighborhood was ideal. Even the turtles arrived each night!
