During south and west swells excellent waves can be found in the immediate area. Watch for the shallow fish pond south of the park as water is shallow here even at high tide.

It should be noted that the water in this area (from Kalama to Maipoina Oe Lau) can be nasty certain times of the year due to inland run off (brown water).

Why the Owner Chose Other Kihei Properties
What makes our vacation cottage "hale" so special and unique? The KanaKala Pacific 'Ohana hale is located in the sunny bay side city of Kihei. Our rental lies at the base of the majestic Haleakala Volcano, the world's largest dormant volcano, and at the shores of the white sandy beaches of the blue Pacific waters. Kihei is the fastest growing small island community in the Pacific. It lays on the seashore of the largest bay (Maalaea) in the world. The Hawaiian islands are the furthest islands from any land mass in the world. Maui has been voted the best island in the world year after year! All this and being surrounded by "Aloha" makes this place "Maui...No ka 'oi" (Maui is the best)

Hosts with the Most Aloha in Maui

The best thing about this cottage is the hosts! Sarah and Dan have true Aloha - they treat you like family during your stay. What a unique opportunity to get to know a native Hawaiian family! The cottage is well-maintained and very well-stocked for things a vacationing family might need. The outdoor picnic table was a real plus - we ate every meal there. Most meals were cooked outside on the BBQ, which was immense. While you are there, be sure to ask to see their beautiful hand-crafted Hawaiian jewelry. They give guests special prices, which are an amazing value. Thank you, Sarah and Dan, for making us a part of your home. You'll be welcome in ours, should you ever make it to Alaska for a visit!

In December 2011, I returned to the cottage for the third time. A real home away from home. All the conveniences, necessities you need and want, to be comfortable and at ease. Walking distance to the ocean, your own lanai (patio) with a grill, picnic table and lounge chairs. Close to some of the best restaurants, grocery stores, local shopping. A short drive to Wailea, gorgeous beaches, near golf courses. Whatever your desire it's a short drive away. Walk down to the beach and watch the beautiful sunsets, take a ride up to Malaea(?) Bay to whale watch or stop at the Pali Lookout on the scenic drive to Lahaina. You will be staying in your own private cottage with Mt. Haleakala to the east and the ocean to the west in a real Hawaiian neighborhood. Josie Pasco, Dan and Sarah Coennen will show you the meaning of the Aloha Spirit. They are my Hawaiian Ohana (family) and the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I shall return again next year. Helen Cauwels

What a nice surprise to find a quiet setting yet close to all the activites on Maui, the cottage was very comfortable and clean with carport and outdoor grill also many tropical trees and plants in the yard. Beach chairs ,boogie boards and snorkel equipment was found in the carport with a washing machine to make our vist that much better. The time we spent with Dan and Sarah was very injoyable ,we are planning a return trip to Maui next year and will be calling Sarah for accommodation and have already recommend thier place to friend's here in Alaska.

Our stay in this cottage has been fantastic. The owners are very friendly and helpful. You will get more than you could expect. Very clean, BBQ area, outdoor shower when you come back from the beach, private parking slot, equipment for snorkilng, bodyboards, ... The location is very quiet and the owners are available for any questions or advices. We spent 6 days in kihei and we will come back and will rent this cottage again. You are very close to the beaches and all types of accomodations. For our last day they also offered us necklaces of flowers! And the price is very cheap compared to what is practiced in the most of the hotels and compared to the proposed services. So if you want to escape reasorts and enjoy Maui quietly, only for a lovely stay or with your childs, we really recommend this place. Hopefully we will able to come back as soon as possible.

Sarah and Dan provide a clean, quiet, spacious, private, fully stocked cottage! We had a wonderful stay! Kihei is very central, making it the perfect location to explore the whole island! We also really liked that there is plenty of free parking in Kihei (not always the case with the resort beaches on the west side of the island). The cottage is only a short drive from many restaurants and the main beaches in Kihei. One of the highlights of staying at the cottage is the tandem beach cruiser bike that Sarah and Dan have!! So much fun and a great way to explore! The snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and coolers provided are all in great condition. We were walking (or biking) distance to a beautiful beach to watch the sunset! Close to Boss Frogs for renting surf or paddleboards! Sarah provided great advice about the island, and the best places to shop. Thank you Sarah and Dan - we can't wait to come back and visit, hopefully for longer next time!

Review #4675381 "We wanna go back here in Maui" The Photos are accurate but do not show the hosts attention to details and how well appointed this property is. from the oysters on the grill to the Brother IZ dvds, the tiki torches, snorkels, flippers boogie-boards, clothes washer,covered parking, bicycles and on and on. The kitchen is just as well equipped, if you are a foodie..there are fruits and other local fresh ingredients for fine dinning. and what better place than at 54 Eleu pl. you have your own privet grass yard with fruit trees that you may get permission to pick ...yummy, sit in the shade under the mango tree on the patio. There is a BBQ grill with charcoal or wood, a utility sink and they can set up a party for up to fifty people. It is two blocks from the beach where the park begins with palms and a beautifully maintained lawn, tennis courts. There are rackets & balls as well at the Ohana (Cottage)... Wow! oo la la, I was really impressed. The hosts are very attentive to your needs and even made a flower Lei and hairpin for my honey when I picked her up at the airport. They gave the best information on local beaches, shopping, and sightseeing. The Cottage has a name; KanaKala, and there you will experience the true meaning of Aloha. I recommend this property for couples and small families, and perhaps mellow party types. The only down side I can mention is that if you want to sleep-in late, the many different types of birds may wake you, but I enjoy the sunrise songs. Just Relax and Have fun!!

This cottage is a real gem in Kihei, a great place for exploring the whole island. It is located conveniently close to stores and wonderful beaches in a residential part of Kihei, so you can experience living among the locals, which is much better than staying in a big hotel with a hundred other guests. Here you get really personal attention from your hosts and have your privacy at the same time. The detached cottage is spacious equipped with everything you may ever need. It was nice to have all the beach and snorkeling gears. It has a nice BBQ area with a huge mango tree and other fruit trees, so you can pick your own fruits. The owners are super friendly, very generous and extremely helpful. They took us to a luau show in a big hotel nearby and gave us leis that they made themselves. They also invited us for a BBQ. The owners have the real Aloha spirit that you do not find anywhere else. For that alone, it is worth renting this cottage. We highly recommend it to everyone who seeks a unique Maui experience with the true Aloha spirit!
Owner response:It was our pleasure to host such a pleasant couple from Hungary. We love the chance to share our cultures and talk story under the mando tree. Love to meet people from all over the world, doubt if we ever travel that far, so come to us again.

Loved staying here. Sarah and Dan were great. Very informative and hospitable. It was like staying with family. Sarah even baked a delicious upside down pineapple cake for my boyfriends birthday. Delicious!!! We were so close to so many beautiful beaches and spots to snorkle. Lots of yummy restaurants near by. Already planning on coming back for a longer vacation and plan on staying here.
