We just spent our honeymoon here and it was absolutely wonderful. The cottage had what we needed, the views from the back balcony and beach are stunning. Very easy to work with our host. I highly recommend and would love to come back! These photos are ones we took from the sand directly behind the cottage and from the balcony.
Just the right amount of everything. Comfortable tasteful decor with the benefit of the beach just steps away. Beautiful location and easy access to hiking, snorkeling and outdoor exploration. Enjoyed every second of our week there.
We had a very pleasant stay at the cottage. It is very well appointed with everything you need to enjoy the beach. The kitchen is well stocked we were very comfortable. The view is lovely and the location is great with many dining excellent dining options within walking distance. We definitely recommend this property!
We very much enjoyed our stay! The beach is just steps away from the door. Beautiful sunsets, turtles on the beach, pickleball nearby at the community park. Overall a great experience, just pack light as luggage must be carried up two flights of stairs. Owner was great and very communicative. Shopping center and groceries within walking distance. Would visit here again.
Cozy, clean, absolutely priceless view, easy access to ocean and poised for sunset watching indoors and out. Amenities were perfect and everything we needed was a short drive away (other beaches, amazing food, shopping, local life, food trucks, and community.
We had a wonderful time in this private little cottage. Good location, with shops and restaurants nearby. Great ocean views.
Btw, the Maui Aquarium is a great stop for an afternoon and lunch in the outdoor restaurant was very good.
Loved our stay here! Walking distance to sea turtles, short distances to some of the best, affordable restaurants Maui has to offer. Perfect for a couple's getaway.
We had a wonderful stay with a very nice unit and great views, close to the beach, turtles on the beach, great little neighborhood close to stores and restaurants.
The cottage is so thoughtfully designed and includes everything you need. The view is perfection. You are on the beach in about a minute. Walk to Nalu's, Akamai coffee and just about anywhere else you may want or need. The location makes it easy to drive to Wailea, upcountry and Maalaea harbor. The cottage is a wonderful alternative to a condo/resort and we loved it. We spend 10 nights and didn't want to leave. It became home away from home. Thank you to manager Amber for a seamless stay.
This was the perfect place to stay, private and quiet to spend a 25th anniversary. We absolutely loved it. We will highly recommend this place to anyone that goes to Maui.
Second time here - stayed longer. Love the facility, love the location, thoroughly enjoyed Maui!
This unit works out perfect for my husband and I is incredibly comfortable and pleasant. Working with the manager is very easy and she is very accommodating. I’ve already booked for next year!
We had such an amazing stay here. Everything we needed was here. The beach chairs were an awesome touch. We will be back! The turtles were magnificent.
This cottage is an absolute dream. The location, amenities and view all exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and in close walking distance to many great restaurants and conveniences. Everything was just perfect!
We enjoyed our week at the cottage. It was so nice to have our own private space. It was quiet and comfy with all the amenities you could possibly need. The view of the water from the patio was awesome and it was an easy little trail to get to the beach for a walk on the sand. We got to see a turtle resting our first day! The cottage was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, beach necessities and all our kitchen needs. We had easy access to all of Kihei and Wailea, a lot of things were in walking distance as well. Amber was easy to communicate with and quick to respond if we had questions. We highly recommend!
This was perfect for everything my wife and I wanted for our honeymoon stay in beautiful Maui. The owners have many accommodations on the property that we felt went above and beyond expectation. The short walk to the beach was perfect for sunset viewing, hanging with the turtles, and more! Shops, restaurants, etc., are all within walking distance from the property and super convenient. Can’t recommend this place enough!
The listing is extremely accurate, turtles were beautiful to watch, the view is amazing, very comfortable home while in Maui! The cottage had everything we needed and more. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!
My husband and i stayed here for our honeymoon and we didnt want to leave! The cottage looks exactly like the photos. The street is fairly quiet and you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We wanted something private and away from crowds of people and thats exactly what we got. We both highly recommend you book a stay here!!
The cottage was a perfect place to celebrate our 18th Anniversary. It came with everything we needed and more. Great experience, and the location in a quiet neighborhood was ideal. Even the turtles arrived each night!
