About this property

Private Cottage on an acre lot at Keawakapu Beach - This is island living!

Two restored cottages just steps to Maui's Keawakapu Beach (literally 1-minute walk on paved sidewalk, no car needed) are now available as permitted vacation rentals. (VRBO#736502 & VRBO#785888) Steps from the best sandy swim beach, Maui Mango Cottages offer a local experience for visitors who want privacy and space adjacent to Wailea Resort amenities including restaurants, golf, spas, shopping and a 3-mile-loop beach walking path. The island-style beach cottages sit on the border of Wailea and Kihei offering the best of both experiences. Mature mango trees have provided shade and fruit to the landscaped acre of land for more than half a century as the cottages were some of the first dwellings in south Maui. Enjoy space for your entire family or party up to 10 when you rent both cottages.

Window A/C units throughout, all the amenities of home with island inspiration -relaxing lanai, kitchen stocked with all the utensils and dishes, and mango trees providing shade and mangos for breakfast in season. The cottage is one of two houses on the 1-acre property with a large landscaped yard and parking. Beach chairs and boogie boards are provided and carried easily down the sidewalk the short 1-minute walk to the beach.

We invite you to enjoy our corner of paradise where sunshine meets the sand and surf, and where you are sure to create lifetime memories.

The host was very nice. We were disappointed that we had no View we knew there was construction going on but we did not know there was a big green fence blocking everything. The water toys were dirty moldy and disgusting. We had to go out and buy some. Inside the house was nice and clean. They do need to purchase new non-stick cookware the cookware was peeling and all scratched up I would never use that cookware. The dishwasher bottom rack seem to be missing some Wheels on the bottom of the rack it wasn't easy to pull out straight. The Lanai was warped and uncovered we did not like that.

Perfection in paradise!

Loved this cottage! Comfortable, cute, and clean! The location is perfect, just far enough removed from the hustle and bustle, and still convenient. We loved hearing the ocean waves crash from the cottage. The lanai and landscaped yard are gorgeous and made morning coffee so relaxing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place!!!

Home away from Home

Our cottage was perfect for the 2 of us and quickly became our home away from home. Recently remodeled it is a very clean property loaded with all the ameneties needed for10 days. It is a fantastic location to everything. The short walk to a beautiful neighborhood beach is ideal for morning and afternoon swims. We are beach goers, and there are several other beaches not far that are just as amazing. We even discovered great snorkeling past Wailea towards Makena. Overall, this was just a great experience and look forward to doing it again!

Close to beach

We really enjoyed the close location to the beach. People park along the road next to this house to go to the beach because of its easy access to the beach. The owners were extremely responsive. We had a few issues that they responded immediately to, but I can’t say that about property management. When we had an issue and contacted them first, I was not impressed with their responsiveness. There is only one bathroom/shower, and we were all a little hesitant about the shower being outdoors, but all of us truly loved it. An outdoor shower in Hawaii makes a lot of sense!!

The cottage was perfect for our family of five!

When we arrived the cottage was spotless. It was also stocked with many of the toiletries needed during our stay. It was nice to have the beach chairs, sand toys, and boogie boards as well. Furniture and decor is very cozy and stylish. A true 'hawaiian' feel! It was two minutes away from the beach and very close to all the restaurants and shopping in Kihei! But just far enough away that it was quiet. The best of both worlds. A few minor things arose and it was taken care of immediately. They were helpful and wanted our stay to be pleasant! The only thing I would say and it's not negative feedback, just a suggestion; a cooler or insulated bag would be great for those beach days. Otherwise it had everything we needed. Maholo!

Aloha and Mahalo for your review of Mango Cottage 2. We are delighted you enjoyed the fun, island beach decor in the cottage, as well as the pristine location - a true oasis with access to amenities and our lovely beach. We do have softside coolers available for those that request them. I'll be sure and place them in the cottages so people may use them without asking. We hope to welcome you back to Maui in the future.

Literally paradise...

Mango Cottages is fantastic!! Right from the initial point of contact with Yvonne for booking to checking out on our last day; everything was easy and felt right. Yvonne was easy to communicate with and always responded very quickly. We never felt like she was trying to hide anything or trying to make the accommodations sound better than they really were, if anything she undersold how good it is!! We stayed in Cottage #1 which is the two bedroom cottage on the property. It is very clean and well stocked with anything we could have needed for our stay. The kitchen has lots of dishes and containers for leftovers, great cookware and an abundance of small, countertop appliances as well. The living room has great furniture for relaxing on, a good size wall mounted TV and high speed wireless internet. The bedrooms have comfortable beds with clean linens and lots of storage room in dressers to get your clothing out of your suitcases. The bathroom and its outdoor shower, we loved the outdoor shower despite being skeptical about it prior to arrival. In the back yard there is a decent sized composite deck with a BBQ, table and chairs. The yard is large, clean and obviously well cared for. The location of Mango Cottages couldn't be better. Like the advertisement states...it really is only a one minute walk to a beautiful beach that is mostly uncrowded with great sand, small waves for the kids to boogie board on, and even a little snorkelling. All the amenities of Kihei are a quick drive from the cottage and if you want to go to somewhere else on the island the highway is five minutes away. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mango Cottages to anyone!! We absolutely loved our time on Maui and at Mango Cottages. Thank you again!!!

OWNER DID NOT PROVIDE ACCESS TO HOUSE TILL 3RD DAY; otherwise satisfied with rental.

The most important reason why this is a one-star rating is because despite 10+ attempts trying to reach the owners by text, phone, and email before arriving at the house, I did not establish contact until the 3rd day on the island. It was only by a stroke of luck and a helpful neighbor that I got in the house. Our family of 5 would have been stranded on the island without a place to stay. TOTALLY UNACCEPTIBLE! (Tip to future renters: the code to the house is the last 4 digits of the renter's phone number.) It was very upsetting and disturbing when you're already on your way but you don't know if you'd have a place to stay. That was a horrible start to my vacation. Thankfully a neighbor told me how their door code relates to their phone number, which helped us figure out ours. After several more attempts calling the owners, I finally reached them on our 3rd day in the house. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A 4-STAR RATING. Now, more about the house. POSITIVES: I can't speak highly enough of the location. Look at the map. I couldn't have asked for better. The back yard is nice and shady. The owners let us stay late on the last day to catch our late flight. Beach chairs, sand toys, beach towels, beach umbrella were available (though the umbrella was partially broken). Nice and clean interior with cool tile floor. Outdoor shower is cool, if you're into it. No shower inside. Big outdoor grill; however 1 of the 3 burners didn't work. NEGATIVES: For a rental for 5, it only has an outdoor table on the deck for 2. That seems like an easy purchase that the owners didn't make. No AC in the small bedroom with the two twin beds. No closet in that bedroom either. The owners didn't leave any condiments or spices left behind from previous renters. We're used to seeing these from previous rentals. The fridge and cupboards were bare except for pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils, etc. So buy your own ketchup. No rice cooker. No filtered water. Fridge has no water dispenser. No indoor shower if you don't like the outdoor one. Beds and furniture are of basic quality. Need cushions on the dining room bench.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
Wow! After 24 straight 5 star ratings there is a 1 star rating. To be clear, the 1 star rating is not for the house/accommodations (the traveler gave 4 stars for that) but instead the 1 star is for a miscommunication problem between guest and owner. This guest was inside the house within 5 minutes of arrival to the property. Apparently the guest was calling/texting an incorrect phone number (for 3 days according to the review) and misinterpreted that as owners unresponsive (which generated the 1 star rating). Our standard policy is to provide the access code to the house information days before arrival but apparently the traveler misplaced that information. We are happy to know the guest enjoyed the accommodations.

Great! Just can't do Laundry

The dryer was covered in some sort of clingy dirt balls. I tried to spray it down to see if I could quickly wipe it up but after 10 minutes of trying to clean it, I gave up. Really bummed about this. There was also no sponge, which made it difficult to wash our dishes well. However, everything else was awesome! Great spot!

Relaxing home base

My husband and I enjoyed staying in the Mango Cottage. Check-in and check-out was super easy. The residential location was relaxing and quiet and next to our favorite beaches! A little too far for walking to dinner but within a short drive to a healthy food store and plenty of restaurants. The air conditioning was a wonderful relief after spending all day outside. We loved the outdoor shower and other amenities the place has to offer, especially the powerful hose to wash off the sand. We definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing home base…with a yard large enough to enjoy and the mango trees amazingly beautiful and providing lots of shade. Too bad they weren’t in season, otherwise I’m sure we would have enjoyed eating those too. We will definitely consider this spot again when we return. Mahalo!

Perfect location, comfortable, low-key

This little cottage shouldn’t be judged on it’s external appearance, which is underwhelming. Once you step inside it’s instantly homey feeling and comfortable. The closets and cupboards are stocked with kitchen and bedding supplies to meet all your home away from home needs. AC units in both bedrooms and living room are key to comfort. They are a bit noisy, but in general having a stand alone house away from the condo/hotel scene is ideal for our family. The beach access is amazingly close and easy for a rental not directly on the beach. And having a wide selection of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and water toys available for guest use is such a bonus. A bit of an odd setup with bathroom/laundry room combo and outdoor shower, but it works! Reading about the outdoor shower before arriving I was a bit nervous, but it truly is great! My one suggestion would be to add something to the stone slabs to quell the heat if possible (some sort of mat or tape maybe?), because otherwise they’re way too hot to stand on in bare feet. Another suggestion is to put the “office” room to more functional use (add a bed or couch, or convert to a second bathroom?), because that seems like a bit of wasted space. Owners were very responsive to inquiries. Highly recommend this place!

5 star location; 4 star property

Literally an easy 5 minute walk from one of the South side's prettiest and most under-rated beaches (Keawakapu), Mango Cottage delivered big-time on location. Traveling with our two adult kids, it allowed us to come and go to a great beach as we pleased. The cottage itself was clean, spacious and generally well-provisioned. However, it is on the spartan side, both inside and out. From the outside it is a basic clapboard structure with small windows that can make the place feel cave-like. Though there was a lovely grassy back yard with a graceful tree, the deck itself was small and there was only a small round cocktail table available for the four of us. With a bigger table and something other than a single harsh outdoor spotlight providing light, we'd have loved to be able to actually eat our meals outdoors. Instead, we ate all of them inside. (On the plus side, the propane bbq was almost brand new.) The outdoor shower was a big hit; but it would have been nice to have had more than 2 hooks to hang our towels . These may sound like quibbles, but really they would be so easy to fix and we hope the owners consider doing so. Making the outdoor area more user-friendly would go a long way to make Mango Cottage 5 stars across the board. In the meantime, it's still a really well-located and functional place to stay.

What makes this property unique

The location of our Maui Mango Cottages is unique. Situated on nearly an acre of land dotted with mature mango trees and accessible front door parking, guests are only steps away from pristine Keawakapu Beach. You won't have to drive to the beach and can carry a small beach chair and cooler easily across the street for a day in the sun or toast the sunset with a glass of wine and an ocean swim.

Often considered Maui's best beach, Keawakapu is a long sandy beach perfect for popular ocean activities such as swimming, snorkeling, stand up paddling, boogie boarding, and even surfing on occasion.

Enjoy our beach chairs and boogie boards complimentary during your stay.
