HOUSE....ON THE BEACH. 1960 ERA

This is a Private, BEACHFRONT Residence. PROPERTY IS FRONTED BY A HAND BUILT LAVA ROCK WALL. We offer you and your family a True Hawaiian Home, built in 1960. All of the charm still remains, although we have updated the interior, but preserved the integrity and special charm of a true Hawaiian home. Not to mention the added bonus of a huge, well manicured grassy area that leads you to your private beach. Large properties are really hard to find. With so much building going on in Maui, it is hard to find a property that has stayed original. Families love the property, for family fun or sunbathing. Most of the wonderful comments we received about this home, is that,
"This is like having your own private Island!" This home has whole house air-conditioning, individually controlled in each room. A large Lanai is wonderful for family dining or a great BBQ. Gas BBQ is included.
Our uncrowded beach is located approximately 250' from the house. A short walk across the very spacious and impeccably maintained lawn area, and your toes are in the sand! There are many palms trees located on the property. There is also a 100+ year-old banyan tree that adorns the property---a great spot for family photos. Be sure to bring your camera! The lawn area is great for sunbathing, sitting on the lawn in the chaise lounges shaded by the many trees, or playing family games. We provide beach sand chairs, beach towels and miscellaneous children's beach toys, including boogie boards.
The home is built on one level, with beamed ceilings and large windows. A large lanai faces toward the beach. There is a queen bed in the master bedroom and 2 twind beds which can be made into a king bed, if you prefer. There is also a queen sized Murphy bed in the great room, which can sleep 2 more guests.
The yard contains lemon, banana trees and other tropical plants. Our beach gets very little usage, as we are located in a residential area, no big hotels and condo complexes to compete with. A large portion of the lawn area is maintained by our gardeners and some of it is State land and can be shared by others.
The 2-bedroom 2 bath home is adjacent to a 4-bedroom, 2 1/2 home, which is also on our property. Our property is 150 wide, so if you would like to rent both homes, that certainly can be done. If you are interested in renting both of our homes (on the same 150 foot-wide property), this is the deal of a lifetime! The adjacent home can be viewed on VRBO #73607. Both homes combined, you will have 6 BEDROOMS AND 5 BATHROOMS, 2 KITCHENS AND MORE. BOTH HOMES ARE BEACHFRONT, WITH VIEWS OF THE OCEAN. COMBINED, BOTH HOUSE RENTED TOGETHER CAN SLEEP UP TO 16 GUESTS!! PLEASE ASK ABOUT OUR BEST PRICING.

This is a wonderful property for large family reunions, birthdays and anniversaries. Everyone loves it here! These homes have so much to offer.
(SORRY NO WEDDINGS OR RECEPTIONS, THANK YOU)
A short walk down the street will take you to the middle of Kihei Town. You will find shopping centers, restaurants, grocery stores, Post Office, Kaiser, Banks. Fast food such as McDonalds, Taco Bell, and so much moreYou will find just about everything you will need, including food stores.
To the northwest, the West Maui Mountains dominate. Lanai, and other Islands can be seen from the property. The area is also used for surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, paddle-boarding and canoeing. The mornings are usually the best time for a calm ocean and small waves. The trade winds do usually pick up in the afternoon, and cools the air. We do recommend wearing beach shoes for easy walking. Depending on the winds, many things can wash ashore. The sand can also be very hot.
The home is facing to the west, which means you will see some of the most beautiful sunsets from the Island. Depending on the time of the year (usually, between November and March) whales can usually be seen and heard beyond the reef. This beach area is also a common location for large green sea-turtles sleeping and laying their eggs in the sand in front to the house. This is a wonderful experience for the children and adults alike! Please do not touch the turtle while they are asleep on the beach. No strong flashlight at night, they don't like the light and may not return.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE ARE A LEGAL VACATION RENTAL PROPERTY FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS. OUR TRANSIENT ACCOMMODATIONS TAX NUMBER IS TA-160-886-7840-01.

Amazing home a Turtle experiences Daily
Contact with Brian was excellent. Air conditioning was nice. The home was spotless and even smelled freshly cleaned on arrival. The kitchen was well supplied with all we needed. The gas grill was a great amenity. I would recommend using ziploc bags for all your food you have opened. The home is decorated nicely. It's beautiful inside and out. We appreciate the outdoor seating areas and spent a lot of time on the lanai. The yard is meticulously cared for and the landscape is beautiful to include the large banyan tree. The adjoining property was rented to a large family, but we hardly ever saw them. A short walk through the yard led to gorgeous beach area. Occasionally people walk by but for the most part it was your own private beach. The sand is very soft. There is lots of coral coming in so if you plan to go in the water you will definitely want water shoes. We had high surf and wind warnings during our stay but we really thought snorkeling would be good had that not been the case. Let's talk sea turtles. From the reviews, they were mentioned as being on the beach. It was incredible there were over a dozen turtles that came in every night and sunset and left at sunrise. Such a cool experience. Lots of food options nearby. Must have Huli Huli chicken that is nearby. So GOOD! We had a lot of shave ice but our favorite was Ululani's Shave ice that was nearby. The lines are long but so good. Thank you Brian and Mitz for sharing your home.

So good, computers use the view as a background
Seriously, we got home and looked at my husbands computer 'stock background' and it was the view from this place. If you're looking for great view, great beach and a house exactly as described, you've found perfect. We loved the homey feel of the house, the layout was great for my elderly parents and us (middle age). Brian never got annoyed with my questions that he had already answered, was quick to respond and when my father broke 3 ribs 3 weeks before the trip he was willing to work with me on a solution. A great place (the house next door looked great too for bigger groups!).

Right on the beach!!
Wonderful location! Enough room for everyone. Loved seeing the turtles every morning on the beach and turn around and look at the Maui sunrise at the same time with the palms as a backdrop. So gorgeous. Was great to have some essentials we were allowed to use as well like a cooler, beach chairs, noodles, beach towels. Came in handy.

We loved our stay. We only wish we had booked it for another week! We are already talking about a return trip. Make sure you go out to the beach either early or late to see the turtles. We had better luck early in the morning. Drive up to the summit of Haleakala. It’s a surreal experience.

This property is amazing
I can’t say enough good things about this house. Booking was a breeze. Brian was very easy to communicate with for questions and check in process. He even checked in a few times during our stay to see how we were doing. The property is amazing. When I saw the pictures in the listing it was exactly what I was looking for and then when we got there in person it was even better. The house and property are exactly as advertised. The view from the lanai is perfect Hawaii views in my opinion. The house is very clean and everything is very well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and relaxed (except that one rooster a few early mornings) and being in Kehei is nice for exploring other parts of the island. I can’t say enough good things about my experience here it was amazing in every way.

Terrific Vacation
We had a great vacation in Maui and this property in Kihei was a big part of that. We felt like we had our own private beach and never felt too close to neighbors. The great sunsets and sea turtles coming to shore after sunsets were amazing. The high quality grill made it easy to grill dinners and enjoy the outdoor beauty. Brian was extremely responsive to any questions. We would definitely recommend this property.

We could not have asked for a better location. The view from the house is absolutely amazing. Sunsets with Green sea turtles resting around us and the waves gently lapping on shore what more could you ask for. So many restaurants and coffee shops within a 5 to 10 min walk. Brian was very helpful and went beyond checking in with us when we had an issue. I would absolutely return to this Cottage or the house next door with my kids and grandson.

Absolute Kihei Gold!
The property is in a picture perfect location and was exactly as described. The rooms, kitchen, and grounds were well appointed. The kitchen and grill offered everything we needed to prepare our nightly meals after enjoying sunsets that would make the most beautiful of postcards jealous. We enjoyed our daily visits to what essentially amounted to a private stretch of beach that was accessible within less than a 60 second stroll from the back patio. This was our first visit to Maui and we couldn't have asked for a better property. Every night we were treated to amazing sunsets and numerous sea turtles that would come to spend their evening on the beach. On one occasion, we were even able to see a whale breach while enjoying lunch. This property makes me jealous of the people who call Kihei and Maui home. We will certainly be back again soon. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property with us./

Private sanctuary on the beach
All the comforts needed to have a relaxing time with family. Well appointed kitchen, bath, lanai. Small cottage feel that makes great use of space with the extended couch and Murphy bed. We loved the convenience of having the beach chairs and umbrella. Used them every day. Grill was in great condition too. Be prepared you are in a residential, natural area. We had chickens and roosters every morning and the occasional fly or flying ant get in the house now and then. If you are planning to stay with other couples or non family members please note the walls are thin—we could hear each other talking in the bedrooms next door to each other. It’s ok if it’s just you and kids, though—we had a fantastic time and would stay here again.

I can’t say enough about this house! Perfectly located in Kihei, close to shops, restaurants and groceries…we had everything we needed just around the corner. The house is exactly as pictured, clean and well organized and the perfect spot for our family of 4, me, husband and 2 young adult sons (22, 18). We ate mangos from the tree in the yard, sat outside drinking coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings as we watched the sun set. Turtles were on the beach every night just after sunset which was an amazing experience. Communication with the property manager was great as well! We would definitely stay here again!
