Unbelievably beautiful location

We had a wonderful time and the location could not have been more picturesque. It was walking distance to several beautiful beaches and a short drive to restaurants and shops. We loved it!

Wonderful property, quiet location but still convenient to local activities, restaurants, etc. The snorkeling right off the property was *fabulous* with many turtles (keep your distance) and plenty of reef wildlife. It’s best to get out early in the day when the water is most calm and before the big snorkel tour boats start pulling up nearby. The great snorkeling here isn’t a secret unfortunately!Mahalo, Sue and Clark!

Best location on Maui

best possible place to stay. Hale O Honu is absolutely unique. The house is outfitted with everything you’ll need. There’s plenty of extra snorkel masks, fins, and shoes. We spent mornings swimming and snorkeling, mid day touring the island or hiking, then great evenings at home watching the sunsets before tribal council. Most mornings there were sea turtles on the beach sunning in the back yard. I cannot recommend highly enough. Location, location, location.

Relaxing Makena Retreat

Our family had an amazing stay at this superb property in Makena. Secluded and private yet a short drive to amazing restaurants and shopping. We saw sea turtles every day and snorkeled in the clear water off the back yard. Truly a gem and a perfect family vacation!

A slice of Heaven

Makena Makai is a beautiful, quaint home with views that won't disappoint. I enjoyed snorkeling with the turtles each morning. The owner/manager's are easy to speak with. We had no issues throughout our entire stay. (November 16-23, 2024) I would love another opportunity to stay at this wonderful place. ❤️

Amazing Location!!!!

I have been to Maui several times and have always enjoyed my stay at the resorts, so this was the 1st time at a home and it did not disappoint! Incredible location in the heart of turtle town and the house was simply stunning in its ambiance and proximity to the best snorkeling around, PERIOD!!! Loved Sue and the commutation.

This is fantastic location in South Maui. Very quiet! The snorkeling right out the back and over to Makena Landing is the best on the island! It is very convenient to drive anywhere. The house is just as described. It was very clean and well maintained. We loved the Hawaiian decor and unique Hawaiian furniture. The bed in the primary bedroom is incredibly comfortable. The fans kept the house comfortable. (We don’t like AC in Hawaii.) The house is one of a kind full of Hawaiian history in an absolutely beautiful setting. With easy access to the ocean right outside, we did not miss a pool in the slightest bit. The sunsets were amazing. We loved it here! The owners and caretakers were easy to reach for a quick question. Honestly, our favorite place we have stayed in Hawaii.

February Family Getaway

Absolutely fantastic property. The oceanfront location, sunset views & whale watching are second to none compared to anywhere I have ever stayed. We rent in Maui each winter and I will be coming back here. We have always rented condos in the past and having an oceanfront lawn for the kids as well as a driveway for parking and a garage for keeping strollers, suitcases, etc. was a massive positive. My kids are 3 & 1 and this was a perfect setup for our family. The kitchen is bigger than the photos look and there is a spare bar fridge as well. The table out by the water is amazing for lunch and after the kids go to bed. There is a 6 person kitchen table as well which is better for dinner since we are mostly eating around sunset and it gets dark quick. great family property!

Great property and a wonderful stay

Our family stayed here in late March / early April of this year. The setting is second to none and there were few things more relaxing than sitting and the table and enjoying the sound of the waves. The property was fully stocked with everything you could ever need, including boogie boards, beach towels, and chairs. Sue was wonderful throughout the process and we would definitely stay again.

Amazing property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! There are snorkels, fins and water shoes available for use right out the back door. We saw the turtles every morning and enjoyed the sunset over the ocean from the back yard every evening. The location is private but close to shopping and restaurants. I highly recommend this property.

Great Stay at a Wonderful Location, Slightly Dated but Very Pleasant

My family (parents, siblings, self) stayed here for almost 10 days and very much enjoyed it. The location of this property is amazing - right by the water, a short walk from great beaches - and there is a nice layout for spending time together inside and outside. Two things of potential concern for guests - 1) the home smelled slightly of mold, totally expected from a house that was built decades ago on a tropical island and less than 100 feet from the ocean. Be warned, and if you have allergies to that (we didn't) you may want to look elsewhere. 2) The twin beds in the 3rd bedroom are regular sized, and since my family members and I are all above 6 ft tall we did suffer a little sleeping on them. Overall would absolutely stay here again - the owners were great to communicate with and this was a special place to stay.

Peace, quiet and amazing sunsets in beautiful Makena

Our family of 6 loved our week at Clark and Sue's house in Makena. The location could not be better and we were truly able to unwind and feel at peace. We watched whales everyday. We snorkeled right in front of the house or at the beach just up the road. We walked down to Maluaka beach at sunset. Every other day we did an excursion, but always looked forward to coming back to the house to relax. We cooked a few dinners and lots of breakfasts in the very well-stocked kitchen...wish we had cooked more dinners there! We loved hanging out on the patio at night with only the tiki torches to give us light. It was magical. Highly recommend!

Location location. Location!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Sue and Clark’s home. We have stayed in the area before but our family has grown and we needed a bigger oceanfront vacation spot. This was a quiet place with literally the best snorkeling and paddling on the island, we are so grateful for the experience. We’d love to come back & Sue was very easy to work with. Mahalo!

About the host

Why they chose this property

My parents built this home in 1969, when the only access was a dirt road. They lived here year round, but had no mail or paper delivery for many years. Its a lovely, quiet location in a pristine area, which my husband and I regularly update, and keep decorated in the Hawaiian style.

What makes this property unique

Snorkeling, turtle and whale viewing (in winter months) is awesome from our location. We can also swim off the left front side of our property. Our oceanfront location with sunset views overlooking 3 islands and 2 peninsulas is truly unparalleled.
