About this property

1 block to the beach! Kihei Beach House

Be sure to read the full listing description and policies before requesting a booking.

3 Bedroom, 1 Bath unique, cozy, relaxed, clean and comfortable beach house located only a block from the beach! Walk over and learn to surf or enjoy each morning with a stroll on the beach. Our home is perfect for the laid back local Maui vacation and can accommodate long term rentals. Our space is about providing a local experience. We are located in a lovely, quiet, local neighborhood that is one block from the beach. This Main House includes an attached, separate space for us, the owners. As well there is a cottage in the back where other guests stay. Guests have their own private areas. We are within walking distance to Kalama Park, the Cove and Kukui Mall as well as shopping and restaurants.

Our listing is not child-proofed and contains tripping and falling hazards. It is also located close to a shared driveway. Due to these safety issues, our listing is not suitable for children under 10 years old (no exceptions.)

4 guests is the maximum. We do require all guests to arrive at the same time and before 9 pm as check-ins can be noisy and we are required to keep disturbance to the neighbors at a minimum. It takes a minimum of 1.5 hours from landing to arriving at the house without any delays so your flight would need to land by 7:30 pm. We recommend landing as early as possible to make sure you can arrive at the house for check-in well before 9 pm. We can generally check in earlier than 4 pm. We cannot accept check-ins after 9 pm.

We have filtered water and ice, so purchase a reusable Maui water bottle or bring one of your own. :)

We like to give privacy to our guests during their stay, so if you need anything, texting is the best way to communicate. However, if you have lots of questions, we are here to answer them!

There is not an outdoor BBQ grill or use of grill on site.

There is an outdoor security camera that overlooks the driveway and entrance to the property. It does not monitor any private areas.

Policies:
Maui County Quiet Hours: Please be mindful of Maui County’s quiet hours from 9 pm to 8 am. If there are noise complaints, we will have to cancel your rental with no refund. No parties, events, or gatherings are allowed on the property. Amplified sound that is audible beyond the property boundaries is prohibited at all times. Only registered guests are permitted on the property. If you have family or friends on the island, please meet them at other locations.

Short-Term Rental Agreement: Before your stay, we require a signed Short-Term Rental Agreement, which includes the names of all guests and confirms that everyone has read and agreed to the house policies. Third-party bookings are only allowed when made through a company account. The maximum number of guests allowed is 4. We require guests to be at least 25 years old to book the property.
Damages: If anything breaks or gets damaged during your stay, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address it.

Shoes: To help keep the house clean and per Hawaii custom, please remove outdoor shoes before entering the house.

Air Conditioning: For energy efficiency and comfort, please make sure to close all windows and doors when using the air conditioning, and turn off the AC when you leave the house.

Laundry: Laundry hours are from 8 am to 9 pm. Please avoid using the machines after 9 pm or before 8 am, and refrain from washing shoes, heavy items, overfilling the machines, or using laundry pods. Laundry soap is provided. Overfilling the machine can cause it to not spin out the water. Please keep sand out of the machines.

Check-in Times: Check-in is available between 4 pm and 9 pm. If you arrive after 9 pm, you may need to find accommodation for the night and check-in the next day.
Check-out: Check-out is by 11 am. If you'd like to request a late check-out, please let us know ahead of time as housekeeping will need to be rescheduled. A fee may apply if a late check-out can be accommodated.

Parking: Please park only in your designated spot to help keep things organized for all guests.

No Smoking: There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property, including vaping and e-cigarettes.

Trash: Please use the provided plastic bags for trash and follow the instructions in the binder for garbage day.

Food: To help maintain a clean space, please don't leave food out.

Hair Dryers: For safety, please only use hair dryers in the bathroom plug.

Cutting Boards: To protect our kitchen surfaces, please use the provided cutting boards instead of the butcher block island.

Sand: Before entering the house, kindly wash off all sand. You can use the outdoor hose and make sure to turn it off and release any pressure after use. Wet towels and clothing can be hung on the outdoor railings to dry, and once dry, you can easily shake the sand out.

Sunscreen: Please avoid using spray-on suntan lotion inside the house or on the deck. It clings to surfaces and is very difficult to remove.

No Open Flames: For safety reasons, we ask that there be no open flames of any kind (candles, lamps, grills, fireworks, etc.) on the property.

Check-out Procedures: Before you leave, please follow the check-out procedures in the house binder and message the host once you’ve checked out.

Wonderful quiet vacation rental

The property is exactly as it's described in the listing. The beds are all the same with queen memory foam mattresses. Very quiet neighborhood. It's very convenient to restaurants and markets. Leanne was always helpful whenever I had any questions. We were greeted by her sister Mel who was very helpful explaining different things about the property. I can not recommend this property enough. You will not regret booking this property, highly recommend!

Best choice for a calm neighbourhood on Maui

We had a very pleasant stay. Everything was exactly as described. We first were scared about all checks and requests but they make totally sense. If you are looking for a party vacation, do not book Chez Maui. If you are looking for a serious, well organised, comfortable stay on Maui, this will be best address for you. I loved the easy and supportive communication with the host.

Just easy!

This little home has a wonderful patio to enjoy your meals and all the basics needed if you’re saving money by not eating out. I give it a solid 5/5 for cleanliness and the hosts are very organized... It was nice to use the beach towels and chairs they provided out at the beach. My partner had great sleeps as he prefers a firm bed but I tossed throughout the night. I gave all 3 beds the goldilocks test and they’re “just too firm for me”. All in all, a nice and easy place to stay.

Great little beach house

We enjoyed staying at this beach house. The location is close to everything you need in Kihei, but is quiet and private. We enjoyed having breakfast on the front porch before heading to the beach or on a road trip.

Sweet base for all our favorite Maui activities

We had lots of visits and excursions and then enjoyed returning to cook dinner and share it on the porch. Groceries etc are convenient nearby. Hosts were easy to reach and communicative.

Quiet Oasis

We loved our stay in Chez Maui! It's in a very quiet neighborhood. The hosts are accommodating and quick to respond. They even brought us some apple bananas from their yard! This listing shares the kitchen/laundry room with the owner's residence, and there is another separate rental property in the back. We were not bothered by either of those. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but the beds are nice and comfy. The bedroom AC is a bit loud for those who are not used to window units, but we still could have a good night sleep. Kitchen had all the necessities. There was even some Maui coffee waiting for us! There was drip coffee machine, microwave, and toaster over - nice bonus. There is a cooler and some ice packs in the freezer. Laundry detergent too. Plenty of bath and beach towels. The living-room sectional cushions are a bit worn out making it not very comfortable for long lounging. The lanai was great, with good shade, breeze, and nice flower bushes. We ate most of our meals there. The storage shed had beach chairs, umbrella, noodles, some snorkeling masks and water shoes. There is a beach is just few minutes walk. The beach is nice to relax on in the mornings, but high tide in the afternoon covers most of it. But that area of the water is super shallow, so not for swimming. There is a beginner surfer beach 20 min walk away, and plenty of really nice beaches further south, short driving distance. This was our first rental during covid where the owner came into the house, unmasked, to greet us. That made us a bit uncomfortable. Overall, I would recommend this property to anyone!

Renters constantly in your business

The owners live on property and are constantly in your business. This property is perfect for an older couple, that stays inside. Owner likes to stay out front, watch every move, and constantly intertupts you. I have never had someone so uptight bother my family at a property. I would not recommend to anyone that has a family.

Great vacation spot!

This was the first time we went to Maui and the house was exactly what our family of six adults plus a five month old baby needed as a home base. Quiet neighbourhood and only one block to a lovely beach! The owners were very nice and helpful.

Perfect location!!!

If you prefer to avoid resort living, and want get a taste of the actual lifestyle of Maui, this is where you should stay. This functional home situated on a quiet street was PERFECT for our family of five (kids aged 5, 7, and 10). We relished every meal and every cup of coffee on the patio. Walking to the beach a block away in the morning for a quick dip to start our day was idyllic, and the funky shops and restaurants at the heart of Kihei are a ten minute walk away! It was also a perfect base from which to explore, and fall in love with Maui as we did. We will be back!!
