Wonderful time on Maui! The beach is beautiful, turtles come on shore almost daily, perfect whale watching from the deck, and can’t beat the sunset location. Would definitely stay here again. The house is well kept, comfortable, and all you need for a Maui vacation. Property owners were responsive and helpful.

This has been our best VRBO rental by far. The house had everything we needed down to a full array of spices, towels, chairs, welcome basket etc…I could go on and on. The views are nothing less than spectacular. We had a full moon our entire week and felt like we were going to bed gazing out on a scene straight from the play South Pacific. Nothing short of magical. We saw sea turtles sunbathing on the beach, whales offshore and had the privacy you only dream of. Even the grass is divine…lush, soft and spongy; my daughter was surprised she could walk out on the path to the beach without getting “stickers” as we call them in the Carolinas…AKA sand spurs! The design of the house and the decor is definitely old school Hawaii and harkens back to a simpler time. The large wooden French doors opening to the lanai were stunning and let in the Hawaiian breezes that kept the house cool all day.

We had a wonderful time at this home. We loved the beachfront access and ease of getting everywhere we wanted around Maui. The location can’t be beat!! Marti was a wonderful host providing information and communicating in a timely manner. The house is set up with everything you need for cooking meals and for spending time on the beach!! We loved the afternoon/evening breeze which really kept the house at just the right temperature when we were there.

We had a really great time here! The place was well stocked with everything we needed. They also left a wonderful welcome basket with local treats and fruit. The fans in addition to the breeze were enough for us that not having AC wasn't an issue.
Wonderful proximity to the beach, and the view is fantastic.
There was a minor power outage for a few hours one night but we had excellent communication from Marti to help locate flashlights.
We would definitely stay here again!

First off, the host of this property was far more generous than other rental owners, in my experience. They provided so many basics/extras (think laundry detergent, welcome basket with treats, plenty of beach towels, etc.). I felt they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay vs simply make money.
LOCATION: so convenient! Close to grocery, so many restaurants, several beaches, yet we felt tucked away, secluded with privacy.
NOISE: several other reviews mentioned the resort next door being a little rowdy. This wasn’t our experience at all. It was near silent 24/7. Ironically, the only time we were a tad put off was by our “duplex-mates” who lacked a little social etiquette, but such is life.
NO A/C: It might just be luck of the draw and maybe our weather was warmer than usual, but this was an issue for us. Since hardly anyone else mentioned it, I have to assume we might be a little more sensitive to heat but wanted to give an honest perspective. Yes, the afternoons are breezy. But that’s also when the setting sun is pouring into the windows. Each night of our stay the breeze literally STOPPED at 8pm for the next twelve hours. I’ve never seen palms so still. If you have no issues with this, great. But wanted to let folks know since it could be a risk if you’re heat averse.
Overall, this place and the host are awesome. An A/C window unit in the upstairs bedroom would’ve made it perfection! Thank you!!

Beautiful Ocean Front Duplex
Beautiful views from deck and master bedroom. 2 decks to enjoy the sunsets. Lots of room to spread out. Kitchen is well stocked. Lots of stairs, so great for exercise, but if mobility challenged it would be an effort daily. Short walk to great beach!

Fantastic place
This is one of the best VRBO places we have ever stayed in. Location is ESCELLENT, steps away from the beach and very close to groceries, restaurants, etc. Also easy to get to Wailea beaches and south (5-10 minutes), Maalea and North (5-10 minutes), and about 30 minutes from Lahaina and 45 minutes from Kanaapali. The property itself is outstanding, with comfy beds, modern appliances, beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided, sauna (which we did not take advantage of), wonderful porches for watching the sunsets and whale spotting, and quite private. Yes, there is a small resort (screend from view by the trees) next door, but it was very quiet and we felt very secluded, especially for being in the heart of Kihei. All beds were comfy, bathrooms were large, just a great, great place. We hope to stay here again (if we ever make it back to Hawaii).

Amazingly Gorgeous Property!
This property is absolutely amazing! The photos online are beautiful and they don't even do it justice. The sunset views are some of the most amazing we've ever seen. The beach, which is about 30 feet from the door, has soft sand and the water has lots of beautiful sea turtles. The water isn't ideal for snorkeling because the visibility isn't great but you are 5 minutes away from many other great snorkeling beaches.
The house itself is great! Off street parking is great. Plenty of space. 3 bathrooms, one on each level. Nice size living area with a nice TV. Full size kitchen with all the amenities and plenty of counter space. The master bedroom on the top level is spectacular. Spacious, Jacuzzi tub w/shower, and the most amazing view you can imagine. There is a lanai off of the master bedroom as well that offers even better views than the main floor lanai. Great place for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
The location is pretty good as well. Kihei is a resort/tourist area but the house is in an area secluded from most of that. The benefit of a resort town is that there is plenty of shopping, dining, etc. within walking distance. The only slight downside is the condo/resort next door. It is separated by large hedges so privacy isn't a problem. You are completely private. Sometimes it can get a little noisy next door but it seems like a family oriented resort so after dinner things are completely quiet.
The proprietor, Marti, was awesome. Quick to respond to any questions I had through the VRBO site. Even gave us some suggestions on things to do on Maui.
Overall this is an amazing property, with an amazing location, and an amazing proprietor. We would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking to visit Maui. We can't wait to return!

The perfect spot!
This was a wonderful place to stay. The house is perfect, with the beach just steps away from the porch. Not crowded, easy access to other parts of Maui, quiet, amazing view from the balcony with our coffee in the mornings. Marti was quick to reply when we needed, and very helpful and generous! We're rebooking for next year!

I'm really having difficulty finding the words to do this place justice. It's so peaceful and relaxing, it's like having a spiritual reset which u so desperately needed. The morning soaks in the Jacuzzi watching the sunrise, beautiful sunsets on the lanai enjoying a meal with my family, spending hours on the beach in the sun with out a care... we are so thankful we chose to book this home. Mahalo for everything.

We had a wonderful week here. It’s a duplex, so you will have neighbors. Ours were great and even passed on their extra food before they left.
Nice splashing beach. Not well known, so doesn’t get busy. Rented paddle boards and went out in the morning before the wind picked up. Saw some turtles in the ocean. Nice relaxing setting. Great to hear the ocean at night. The roosters are part of the charm - you know you’re somewhere else.

LOVED our stay on the beach in Kihei!
This property is one of a kind! Truly, we couldn't recommend a better beach for our family. We loved being able to walk right out to a very quiet beach any time of day! The beautiful sunsets were so memorable, too. The house had everything we needed for our family of six. It did not seem to matter that there was no AC- the ocean breeze at night was great for keeping us cool. It would get warmer during the day inside, but we were never inside. Instead, we were enjoying the beach, nearby restaurants (Kihei Caffe for breakfast is a MUST - totally worth the long lines), and more. We loved our time in Maui and would highly recommend staying in this beautiful home.

Great spot!
My family (including two teen boys) and I just ended a wonderful week vacation in Maui. Incredible views with the beach and ocean right out the back door. We saw turtles in the ocean out front every day. The beach towels, beach chairs and beach blanket that were provided were perfect. The sauna and hot tub were nice to have available. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook a nice meal including utensils, pans, spices and oil. We enjoyed the ease of walking to the store and nearby restaurants. Anytime we had a question, Marti was quick to respond. We can’t wait to come back!

This was the perfect vacation rental for our family. Having the beach right out the back door was perfect. We saw at least one turtle on the beach everyday- so cool. Sleeping in the second floor bedroom with the sliding door open listening to the ocean wants is something I will never forget. We also loved the town of Kihei and the local restaurants... especially Kehei Cafe for breakfast. We could not recommend this rental more.

Previously I had heard all of the wonderful descriptions of a stay in Maui. Finally, it was my turn to see for myself! When I began looking for a place to stay, I had already imagined what my perfect accommodations would look like. A single family/duplex home with a green grass lawn out front, leading directly to a beach and the pacific ocean. I initially booked the Hialea Resort thinking that this was the #1 choice of visitors to the island. They cancelled my reservation when they shut down for the month of October. So I had to look again. My travelling partner shared this property with me from VRBO. The closer I looked I realized that this property was exactly what I had dreamed of. And guess what? I was right! Like a premonition, a dream come true. Location, beauty, interior look, the green lawn, the beach, the ocean. Everything, perfection! As well, Marti has been super friendly with my scheduling needs. I am hooked and have already made plans to return.

House on the beach fantasy!
This home is a dream! You're steps from the beach in a 3-story duplex (meaning you do share a wall with another rental). The house is walking distance to downtown Kihei with great places to eat and a super-close grocery store. The beach itself was a little rocky (coral) but calm, warm, with lots of adorable turtles and crabs. The house has a nice kitchen and amazing master bedroom that is truly a dream. The living room is warm and cozy, with a sofa that's basically a full-size mattress. The house has additional amenities like beach chairs and blankets, a grill, and washer/dryer. Kihei is in the middle of the island so it's possible to do day-trips to anywhere on the island. Would definitely stay again!

Everything stated in all reviews previous to this review are accurate. A very nice beach house.
The only thing that I should have paid closer attention to was the fact there was no A/C. It was very hot the week we stayed there. There was nothing cool about it. If I go to Hawaii again I most likely will go in the winter. And yes I would stay at this beach house again ... but only in the cooler months.

Honeymoon
We had a wonderful 2 week stay. The property was perfect, secluded, there is probably not a better place to stay on Maui for the price. We were never bothered by our neighbors and the resort next door was always quiet by 9:00pm. Very peaceful, safe and beautiful. I recommend for family or romance.

The Maui Beach House is a great place to stay. It's like a big tiki bar. Great patio, lawn, bbq, and 20 yards from a great beach. The sunsets are amazing, and stars at night. Two nice bedrooms and three full baths. Great lounge area. Shopping is a block away with grocery store, and several coffee shops, snorkle rental, drug store, gas, and restaurants. Hosts were so accommodating even getting us a pack n play for our daughter. Next door neighbors were great too. So nice. The breeze through this house is awesome. I could not recommend this more. We will be back.

Maui
We had a great time in Maui. The positives: Great location--Convenient to get to the west for sight-seeing, the south for the beautiful beaches, the volcano for sunrise, the airport for inter-island and mainland travel, and of course Hana. We were steps away from the beach--watched nearly every breathtaking sunset. The Manager--very responsive. Marti made every attempt to prepare the place for our stay and even ran an errand within the hour for something that went missing in the kitchen. Amenities--the place had everything you will need for your stay! Only 2 downsides: We were not originally aware it was a duplex. Not a downside--but good for future renters to be aware of--didn't notice the neighbors that shared the wall. The only issues we had were the lack of privacy due to the beautiful upper loft (master bedroom) not having a door. It would not have been an issue if it were just the immediate family, but the stairs are above the main bathroom/part kitchen and laundry area. There was lots of noise leading up the stairs. Also, there is a shuffle board, grill, and pool that belong to the neighboring complex situated within feet of the property line. The foliage gives privacy, but the noise was the biggest issue. Having to keep the windows open at night, we were kept up till well past 11 listening to the noise. Not great when getting up early for activities the next morning.
