About this property
Villa 8
Summary:
This single-story, 600 sq. ft. villa offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and island charm, nestled within a lush tropical garden filled with mango and palm trees. Enjoy peaceful ocean views and a serene setting that feels tucked away, yet close to everything.
The Space:
Welcome to Villa 8, a beautifully remodeled one-bedroom, one-bath retreat just steps from two of South Maui’s most beloved white-sand beaches.
Inside, the villa features a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, comfortable living room, and a private lanai—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The bedroom includes a king bed that can be converted into two twin beds upon request, while the living room offers a full-size sofa bed suitable for one adult or two small children. The modern bathroom includes a walk-in shower for added convenience.
Villa 8 is thoughtfully stocked with all the extras that make travel easy, including an iron and ironing board, Tupperware, wine glasses, dishwasher pods, beach towels, and a drying rack for swimsuits after a day at the beach across the street.
You’ll also find everyday essentials provided for your stay, such as plush bath towels and linens, kitchen towels, Nespresso and drip coffee makers, travel-size shampoo and soap, dish soap, salt, pepper, and olive oil—everything you need to settle in and enjoy your Maui getaway.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive use of Villa 8, including the private bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area, and covered lanai.
Guests can enjoy the shared swimming pool, two communal gas BBQ grills, and a complimentary washer and dryer are located on the property.
Two beach chairs, two boogie boards, a beach umbrella, and a cooler are provided for your sun-filled days at the beach.
The Neighborhood:
Villas by the Cove is located 25 feet from The Cove Beach Park, where guests can mingle with locals, take surf lessons, or body surf in The Cove's consistent small waves. Charley Young Beach, a long stretch of white sand ideal for beach walks and swimming, is another local favorite that's located at the end of the street, about a one-minute walk from the property front gate.
Getting Around:
For the active and adventurous traveler, our prime location offers easy access to sunbathing, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and whale watching. Also, a golfer's paradise with nearby world-class golf clubs less than 10 minutes away in Wailea and Makena. Restaurants, shops, nightlife, cafes, farmer’s markets, and Kalama Park are within a 5-10 minute walk from Villas By The Cove.
Other Things to Note:
Guests have access to our complimentary private Concierge service for assistance with arranging group activities such as luau's, whale watching and snorkel boat tours, private chefs/caterers, pre-arrival grocery service, in-residence spa services and group transportation.
Interaction with Guests:
The Property Manager is available by phone and frequents the property daily. We're a locally owned and family-operated business, and we’re proud to call Maui our home. Because we live right here on the island, we’re able to offer a level of care and hospitality that truly sets your stay apart. We encourage our guests to reach out if they need any assistance during their stay.
