Located in sunny South Maui, Maui's South Shore boasts the most variety and breathtakingly beautiful beaches of all Hawaiian Islands. Just pack your swim suite and leave the rest to us. Staying in a house with relaxing outdoor spaces is truly one of the best ways to enjoy your vacation. This is a non-smoking property.

Why rent a private cottage? You never have to share the hot tub or the BBQ with any of the other tourists nor is there a closing time for the hot tub. Parking is so convenient directly in front of the cottage, you never have to compete with other guests for parking spaces. When you have your large suitcases, Costco purchases, beach gear and coolers, your car is just out the front door instead of meandering through a large complex with your heavy items.

GREEN ENERGY HOME: We utilize the sun in Maui for our power needs.

LOCATION
----------------------------------------------------
The ancient Hawaiians traveled to Kihei for their Royal Retreats. There are six miles of beach along Kihei's coastline, including the popular Kama'ole beaches.

Our private cottage is located in a neighborhood in the heart of South Kihei, the sunniest part of Maui near the famous Kama’ole white sand beaches. Just a 10-minute walk to many things:

* Kalama Beach Park (tennis, volleyball, basketball, skate park, outdoor skating rink, beautiful sunsets, and more)
* Over 23 restaurants, coffee shops, and bars
* Shops, boutiques, open air markets
* Saturday Farmers market and grocery store
* The Cove Beach Park (paddle boarding and beginner surfing)

We love our morning and evening walks for coffee, breakfast, waterfront strolling, paddleboarding, happy hour, dinner, evening cocktails, and sunsets.

Quick drive (5-minutes)
* Kamaole Beach Park 1, 2, 3 (Kam 1 is a 20-min walk) – the best swimming beaches

There are several beaches very close to the house depending on what you are interested in. When we go to the beach with our gear, we always drive. There is plenty of parking in front of the beaches and we have coolers, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, towels.

Here are all the distances to give you a better idea of our local beaches.
* Kalama Beach Park (0.5 mile, 5 min walk to beginning of the park) - retaining wall to the ocean and beach, small beach usually used by paddleboarders and surfers. Fantastic walk along the waterfront and where everyone gathers for sunset. The park is amazing with playground, tennis, volleyball, basketball, roller-skating rink and more
* Cove Park (0.7 miles, 10 min walk, 1 minute drive) - great for paddle boarding, wading in the water, beginner surf lessons leave from this beach

All the Kamaole beaches are considered some of the best beaches on Maui. We spend our beach time at Kamaole I.
* Kamaole Beach Park I (1 mile, 20 min walk, 3 min drive)
* Kamaole Beach Park II (1.6 miles, 32 min walk, 5 min drive)
* Kamaole Beach Park III (1.9 miles, 36 min walk, 6 min drive)

Short Drive (15-20 minutes):
* Famous Makena Beach, Wailea and world class golf courses
* Airport

Stroll in cute little shops while trying some local shave ice. You will love Maui's most unique shopping and dining experience at Kihei Kalama Village with great places to eat and over 40 vendors and boutiques. At the south side of Kalama Beach, you will find Cove Park where you can take surfing lessons or try stand up paddle boarding. Walk beyond Cove Park and you find Charley Young beach which is part of the famous Kamaole beaches.

In the morning, walk to Starbucks, Lava Java Coffee Roasters, or Da Greens and enjoy your coffee at the beach or in a lush tropical setting. During the early evening, you can enjoy Happy Hour at Three’s Bar and Grill or one of the other many places within a 10-minute walk of the house or enjoy the gorgeous sunsets at the beach.

Wonderful stay for our honeymoon retreat!
The hosts were really great at answering any questions prior to check-in and also touched base with us to ensure we had all we needed. The property itself was beautiful. It was so nice waking up in the morning, having coffee on the back porch and listening to the birds. It was a pretty short/enjoyable walk to restaurants and nightlife and the driveway was awesome for quick parking of our car. Would highly recommend to anyone who's looking to visit Maui! Thanks again for a wonderful stay :)

Amazing private cottage!
My Husband and I just got married this month on the Big Island. I chose this because it would be perfect for our honeymoon in Maui. We loved the privacy, the location, the cleanliness, the clean/green atmosphere, and the quick and warm communication from Jenni. They had a wonderful book they created so we can ‘meet’ their family. It also provided so many adventures, places to eat, beaches to go to. I love this cottage and will absolutely reserve again for our future travel.

Love this little cottage!
We only had 2 nights here, but I wish we could have stayed much longer - the accommodations were simply lovely - the landscaping created a private flower-filled oasis and the creation of outdoor living space makes the home seem at least twice as big. The owners were very responsive in communicating with us and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our only disappointment is that the nearest beach isn't really a swimming beach, but it has amazing sunsets!

This is the most well stocked, best detailed vacation rental I have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything from the big things (hot tub) to the smallest detail (USB outlets). The place was immaculately clean and just an absolutely wonderful experience to stay in. The location is also perfect within walking distance of anything you might need or want. When we come back to Maui, we will definitely want to stay here again. All I can say is...WOW!

Well appointed cottage just the right size for 2 people. Everything up dated, very well equipped with everything you need to cook. We ate outside often and enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee. The closest beach is very small so ended up driving to larger beach. Lots of beach equipment included with the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful and a bit of a walk when you go out
This cottage is a perfect retreat. Very private. Beautifully appointed, lovely restful, garden and great hot tub. But, unless you want to spend a lot if time walking, you need a car. Groceries are close but it’s a step and a half to the beach and back especially carrying beach stuff and if you want yo go and come a few times a day. Hi it’s were 100% helpful and responsive. Overall a lovely place to wait out the rain!

Wow!!!
Had a great time here. Very relaxing, quiet and tranquil. Host was excellent and kept in touch to make sure all was going well with our stay. Kihei is a wonderful little town and a good location for everything on the island, except maybe Hana, but Hana is really off the beaten path. For us, most of the places in Kihei we frequented was within walking distance. Wailea was about ten minutes away by car in case you want to do some upscale shopping. Upcountry is about a good 45 minutes away if you want to enjoy some beautiful country driving or check out the winery. Lahaina and Paia are about 45 minutes away for additional shopping experiences and be sure to drop by the Hana Picnic Lunch Company in Paia and pick up a couple of sandwiches if you do decide to take a trip out to Hana and don’t forget some motion sickness pills because the road to Hana is about 2.5 hours and is extremely twisty. Great location for access to many scenic attractions on the island. This place is on our do over list on our next trip to Maui.

This Hawaiian Cottage is an amazing place to stay! We had one of the most relaxing vacations in Maui because of where we stayed! The listing description provides many comforts and amenities, which are ALL true. The beauty of this place is hard to believe until you are actually there....imagine a cup of coffee with a wonderful breakfast on the side lanai... the palm trees beside you and the beautiful back yard behind you... the birds are singing and there is a gentle breeze.
