Location: Launiupoko, West Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA (Located in Launiupoko, south of Lahaina, West Maui)
Accommodations: 2 Cottages, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)
This is a special vacation retreat on the busy west side of Maui. I have 2 homes on 2.5 acres, surrounded by open space with breathtaking, unobstructed views of ocean channels, Lahaina Harbor, Maui's three neighbor islands, and a mystical rain forested valley. The Launiupoko area has a beautiful State Beach Park just below it, offering a sandy beach, surfing, a baby-safe sandy lagoon, and snorkeling. The area is characterized by large lots (2-5 acres) which are sparsely developed and enjoys very little road traffic. Walking and hiking opportunities abound - to the beach and into Hawaii's ancient past (the rain forest valley above).
The largest home, the Palm House, is composed of a 1BR/1BA wing and a 2BR/2BA wing, which can be rented separately or as one large 3BR/3BA home. The two wings of the house have an adjoining wall and are separated by a hallway with connecting door, like a ‘lock-out unit’ you may have seen elsewhere. There is plenty of space and privacy even in this confirguration - there is NO shared indoor or outdoor living space between the 2BR/2BA Palm House and the 1BR/1BA Ohana Cottage – each home has its own decks, BBQ grill, driveway, parking area, and entrance. The second home, the 2BR/2BA Ocean Cottage, is about 200 feet away with all its own indoor and outdoor living space as well. In fact it is off a different street from the Palm House.
My property is just minutes away from historic Lahaina and all the wonderful beaches, shopping, golf, dining etc that abounds in West Maui. Visit the famous sites of Ka'anapali, Napili and Kapalua. Enjoy a day trip to Molokai or Lanai - all just minutes away. Due to it's unique location south of Lahaina, the cottages are very convenient for road trips to Hana, upcountry or south Maui (Kihei, Wailea or Makena).
Each cottage (one bed/one bath and two beds/two baths) has it's own special character. They are close enough for a big family to share, but separate enough to provide seclusion and privacy to individual guests and parties in any cottage. These non-smoking cottages come fully furnished, with full-size kitchens, private decks, laundry facilities and have fantastic views all around. Beach chairs, towels, and a cooler are provided for each cottage to better enjoy that trip to Hana or just a golden day at the beach with your favorite book. Watch whales breeching (in season) or just sit back, relax and watch the sun set over the ocean between the islands of Lanai and Molokai. A lovely rainbow appears in the misty valley to the east almost every evening. Don't worry though - we only get about 17 inches of rain a year, so that lovely mist stays up in the valley awaiting the pleasure of the rainbow gods and the setting sun.
For a vacation truly far from the madding crowds, visit us! No dense suburban traffic noise, no crowded condo hallways - only birdsong and mesmerizing views await you here at West Maui Cottages.
