About this property
Perfect getaway for couples for honeymoon or anniversary.
No cleaning fees. VRBO will add their fees and the required taxes. Totally private so no face-to-face contact needed. Contactless entry. Coded gate. No passing others in hallways, lobbies and elevators. Enjoy peace, quiet & privacy and a big deck and yard.
Escape the traffic and the touristy areas yet be right on the ocean watching sunrises and moon rises over the ocean, surfers, whales, windsurfers and kite surfers. Our location is central to all the places you will want to go and we are at your service to share our knowledge and love of Maui.
The Space Our cottage was built in 2012 and we welcomed our first guests in 2013. It has all appliances , comfy Serta bed, all-cotton bedding, pillows, towels, etc. Sliding mirrored doors separate the bedroom from main room. The cottage sits across from the beach below our upscale neighborhood and your only neighbor is a family on one side and us up the hill behind in the home we bought in 1999. 420 friendly.
Air-conditioning, washer and dryer, Netflix and YouTubeTV! And we have an AED in the main house, a Christmas gift from our son!
Cottage is stocked with coffee, tea and condiments, snacks and breakfast sandwiches and butter in the freezer to get you started on breakfast. Snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, etc. in a storage bin on your deck and we can give you tips on good things to do and things to avoid.
Separate bedroom and bathroom has 2 doors so there is privacy if one person wants to sleep and the other stay up or get up. Plenty of room for two or for a family with a child who can sleep in a crib or toddler bed (available to rent from No Ka Oi Baby Rentals) or on the couch.
The area we are in is called 'Central Maui' because you can easily drive to everywhere else. Yet our particular location feels more like country with open beach and ocean in front and to the north. Be aware that there is no commercial business within walking distance but the beach and a golf course are there for pleasure walking!
Guest Access Anywhere on the property. It is yours for the duration of your stay. My husband and son surf and with permission, cut through the yard to access the surf across the street.
Interaction with Guests
At the discretion of our guests. Some have become best friends; some we've never met.
The Neighborhood
Our neighborhood is upscale, our neighbors really friendly owners. The beach is right across the road in front of the cottage and when the surf is big, it's great to watch the surfers there. When there's no surf, the beach is empty. We love it both ways! It's not a swimming beach but those are a short drive away and by staying here, one avoids the touristy, hot, dusty surroundings of the beach cities
Getting around
We have a bus system and Jordan and I can drop guests off on our way places but a car really is recommended as only tour buses go up into the valleys and up to the top of Haleakala.
Other Things to Note
We stayed in a B & B years ago in Switzerland and the women treated us like family and it had such a positive impact on us that we try to do the same and make our guests feel at home. On the other hand, you may want to just do your own thing and that's perfectly fine, too.

We stayed at Gail’s house for two weeks. She has thought of everything to make you feel welcomed. The furniture is very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We spent at lot of time on the deck watching whales, surfers, cruise ships passing, stars and the moon. There is plenty to do close by. My favorites were Iao Needle and the beach down by the golf course. We also rented Jordan’s car which was a real savings for us. We hope to return next January.
Great quiet oceanfront location. Great cottage. Super helpful hosts.

Gail and Jordon are supreme hosts. Their property is perfect for a couples getaway.. They respected our privacy, but made certain we had all we need for comfortable stay..
Gail and Jordan’s cottage was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean view while taking in the sun and breeze. They provided so many helpful items like beach towels and chairs that we didn’t have to travel with. They had helpful advice and tips, were very responsive and friendly hosts and we’d stay there again.
Wonderful little cottage with all the amenities and more to make it a comfortable. Beautiful view of the beach in a lovely and quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again. Host is responsive and friendly.
Stayed for a week for our honeymoon. Very private. Everything you could want has been provided including warm coats and hats, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, etc. Very gracious hosts who also rented us their car
Quiet Retreat and Exceptional location for exploring
Superbly appointed bungalow for quiet retreat! Had everything we needed (and more!) for our week stay. From coffee and breakfast provided to umbrellas and rain ponchos for hiking to boogie boards and beach chairs - they had it available! Found it conveniently located for morning trips out to Iao Valley, Haleakalā National Park, PacWhale Eco Adventure, and an organic Coffee Farm tour and Brunch at O’O Farm. We enjoyed evening strolls on the many beaches nearby and lots of nights sitting out on the deck for dinner and listening to the waves = heaven. Hosts were extremely accommodating and went over and beyond. Will return again to this beauty for certain! HIGHLY recommend.

The communication was top notch. From how to navigate to the property to information about places and things to do. We stayed busy but enjoyed being able to come back daily to a warm comfortable home away from home. One the best places we have ever stayed in. The home was clean and situated in a wonderful neighborhood and just a few yards from the beach. So many details were taken care of by our host. Having warm clothes available just in case we wanted to go to the top of Haliaka, which we did do. To having a portable cooler and ice packs so we could hike and picnic and not feel like we had to eat out constantly while traveling around the island. Too many details to list. Definitely we felt the local Mahalo.
We could not have asked for better hosts for this perfectly located waterfront cottage. Everything we could have possibly needed and more. Gail and Jordan were so accommodating and had all kinds of extras waiting for us. You really don’t need to bring much with you except for a few changes of clothing since you can do laundry on-site. We will be packing much lighter the next time. I have never slept so good and had a totally stress free week. Can’t wait to come back. Mahalo Gail and Jordan! Maui no ka oi. Sincerely, Shane and Angie.
The convenience, the communication with the owners, The little extra touches, and the ease of access and accommodations were superb. We would definitely stay there again.
It is an amazing property. It’s combines views amenities privacy and above all the hosts are the most accommodating helpful, knowledgeable and out great human beings.
A wonderful place for a Maui stay and great hosts!
Falling asleep and waking up each day to the sight and sound of the ocean is one of the highlights of this property. Nicely set up and located, we’d come back again!

Perfect Maui location
Perfect location, central to just about everything! Gail and Jordan were super nice and helpful from first inquiry all the way through to our departure. Highly recommend this Maui Beach Cottage.
Excellent location if you don’t mind driving. Watching the surfers while having coffee in the mornings or drinks in the afternoon is a delight. Host are most helpful.
The owners are incredible at communicating with you and accommodating any of your needs throughout the reservation process and during your stay. They are so very kind and really want their guests to have a great time.
We loved the view, quiet house, and air conditioning for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Quiet retreat with roaring surfs and all the comforts of home!
We enjoyed 3 days at this comfortable cottage. It was well outfitted with lots of helpful hints from the host. The location was convenient for day trips but it was also a perfect spot for a quiet rest with easy access to beach. We hope to return! Margo and Dave, Ont. Can.
This cottage is in a residential neighborhood and right across the street from the beach. Gail and Jordan, the owners are very communicative and helpful. The cottage itself is peaceful, well appointed and the listing is accurate. This is a great place to stay if you’re into surfing or wind sports and want to be off the beaten path of the main tourist areas. Recommended!
