The ocean's high water mark is a mere fifteen feet away! From the spa and the lanai one can enjoy the famous Maui sunsets while watching the large green sea turtles frolicking in the surf. During the winder months, the humpback whales can be seen as they migrate along the coast.
For five years Maui has been named the "World's Best Island" by the readers of Travel & Leisure Magazine.

We can't thank you enough for the chance to spend a week at your cottage! It was all we hoped for and more. It is in one of the most beautiful locations we have ever been privileged to visit. We loved being right on the ocean and being able to watch the green sea turtles from the lanai every afternoon. We also appreciate the lending library set up in our bedroom. Our stay ranks as our most memorable family vacation ever. We would love to have the opportunity to visit again in the future. Thanks for everything!

The Makena cottage has exceeded for beyond our expectations. We usually commit each vacation day to visiting the sites and touring. The Makena Cottage magically kept us here most of the time. Stars and more stars against the pitch black sky at night. Listening to the surf break lulled us to sleep each night. The full moon setting over the water in the early morning is breathtaking. Palm trees swaying in the trade winds daily. Kayaking and snorkeling among the sea turtles all added to this amazing vacation. Makena Cottage is paradise defined!

After spending a week in Makena, we think it should actually be called Heaven II. Your beautiful home was perfect for our family vacation and we loved waking to the sounds of the waves each morning. The sunsets on the porch and lounging on the lanai made this such a relaxing retreat. I'm not sure if the kids had more fun swimming with the family of sea turtles in the cove or kayaking along the coast.....but everything about this vacation was perfect. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This house was absolutely wonderful. We invited some friends over for dinner one evening that were staying at the Ritz and they were very envious of our cottage! It was clean with up to date appliances including laundry facilities. We slept to the sound of the ocean, relaxed on the huge deck, and watched for turtles each evening. We are saving our pennies hoping to return next year. My husband says he'll never stay in a hotel again!

My husband and I have stayed at the Makena Oceanfront Cottage twice. It is one of my favorite travel destinations. It's quiet, clean, well maintained and private. I love to be able to walk right off the oceanfront deck and snorkle with the sea turtles and tropical fish. The hot tub is an incredible place to relax in the evening while sipping on rum and coconut (fresh picked from the yard) and while watching sunsets and migrating whales. This place is one of a kind and is a little slice of heaven on earth!

Eric and Camille, you have thought of everything and this place exceeded our expectations. We won't ever stay at a resort again!!

Of all the places I've been foturnate to go throughout the islands, this spot in Makena is what I think of as a slice of Hawaii heaven! We only ate out once or twice. Instead we chose to barbeque and enjoy the finest 5-star view available anywhere! It's all the small touches that made this even better for me...The outside heated showers, finding the sports gear, internet access, a rice cooker, and the hot tub! Thanks Eric & Camille!!

What can you say about paradise?! This is our second trip to Maui and we are so glad we chose to stay at this lovely cottage! We enjoyed every minute there! It was an awesome experience - one that we hope to repeat!

We took a driving tour of the entire island and have decided that the most beautiful spot is right here in front of Makena Oceanfront Cottage! We are not "condo people" and having a lovely place like this available just confirms why! The Petersons have thought of EVERYTHING to provide a comfortable stay - right down to the snorkeling equipment.

We loved our stay at your cottage - it was the highlight of our trip! We have had many trips to Maui but none with the privacy, amazing views, and comfort of your place. We hesitated leaving the cottage but managed to get in some snorkeling, kayaking, golfing, and some side trips. But, we were always happy to return "home"! Thanks again to the Petersons for making our stay so enjoyable!
