Oceanfront Vacation Rental in Central Kihei Cottage

Prime Location:
Situated in the heart of Kihei, this family-owned and operated vacation rental sits at the northern end of picturesque Halama Street. The property is tucked away from the large resorts and crowded tourist areas, offering guests a peaceful retreat while still being centrally located. Nearby, you'll find convenient access to banks, the post office, stores, medical clinics, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and more.

Unit Description:
This cozy cottage has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a full kitchen, and a living room with a sofa sleeper. The spacious deck is perfect for sunbathing and comes with a gas grill for barbecues. Within just two minutes walking across our property, you'll find a wide green lawn lined with coconut palms leading to a quiet, sandy beach that feels almost private. Once you've taken in the beautiful sunsets, relax with a movie night using satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning.

Outdoor Amenities:
Guests who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate the beach chairs set up for sunset views and lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing or relaxing. There’s a volleyball net and several picnic tables available for fun and leisure. Stretching about 75 feet from the building to the shore, the expansive well-kept lawn is lined with palm trees. The beach itself offers a peaceful and highly private setting.

Beach and Activities:
The nearby shoreline is perfect for watching sea turtles as they come ashore to rest on the sand. The area is also well-suited for snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, wind and kite sailing, pole fishing, shell collecting, and more. Guests may even spot passing whales during their stay. Ocean equipment is available for rent at the numerous shops in town.

Hidden Gem With a Private Beach!

Absolute hidden gem of a property. Couldn’t have asked for more as it was just what we were looking for so we could relax and be lazy for 5 days. Perfect in every way. Mike truly was the best host ever and very accommodating throughout the week. Highly recommend this place in every way.

Perfect location

Great location with everything you will need in the house. Very close to a little beach where we would paddle board or just sit and watch the turtles pop up. We could also see whales every day! Would definitely stay again.

Best Vacation Rental Hospitality!

The area we stayed at was amazing! It was a great location to plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. Mike was an excellent host, probably the kindest property manager we have ever encountered. You can tell he’s a hard worker and takes pride in his rentals and wants to make sure his guests are happy. Thank you again for everything Mike! We had a wonderful time and it was beyond amazing to see the beautiful sea turtles just steps away from the property’s backyard. The views from the backyard yard were breathtaking!

Atemberaubende Unterkunft

Wir verbrachten eine wunderschöne Woche in Michaels Ferienhaus. Die Nähe zum Ozean, ein toller Garten und eine wunderschöne Veranda, auf der wir die ereignisreichen Tage ausklingen lassen konnten. Michael war ein toller aufmerksamer Gastgeber, auf Nachfragen reagierte er sofort und gab uns wertvolle Tipps, was man auf Maui unternehmen kann. Michael, wenn du irgendwann nach Deutschland kommst, melde dich, wir würden uns gerne für deine Gastfreundschaft revanchieren. Mahalo Andreas, Jacqueline und Maik

Perfect place by the Kihei shore

All the glowing reports about this place are true. You walk straight back to a splendid beach, no road in between. The dwelling is spanking clean and convenient. Comfortable beds, good kitchen facilities, excellent AC. And Mike, the host, is as helpful and friendly as can be.

Feels like home!

The cottage was a hop from a beautiful beach that was isolated which was what we were looking for. The property was fully equipped, mike thought of everything that was needed for an enjoyable stay at the island! Not only did he host us but also gave us some amazing suggestions for the island. We will be back!
