Kihei Ocean Front Hale - Private Home w/ Dramatic Ocean Views on famed Halama St

Sweeping, unobstructed ocean views from the living room and oversized lanai, and swaying coconut palms rocked by gentle trade winds set the relaxed, tropical tone at this dream beachfront hideaway, located at the epicenter of South Maui's sun-drenched beach culture. Step back in time to a taste of Old Hawaii as stroll a natural pathway to the sandy beach directly in front of the property, which is a frequent rest-stop for our algae-eating sea turtle friends.

Enjoy spectacular sunset views and savor your private island feast or refreshments on the shaded lanai, the ultimate morning coffee venue – or relax in air-conditioned comfort and just savor the views from inside this 3,000 square foot island home. Kihei Ocean Front Hale was originally built for a prominent local family in the early 1960s, this impeccably maintained, single-story home was fully restored to embrace the low-key, laid-back tone and texture of Old Hawaii, while adding modern conveniences and loving owner touches that will help define your ultimate family beach experience. Kihei Ocean Front Hale is a legal and licensed vacation rental home.

The large, open kitchen features a wonderful gathering island, and is properly equipped to service up to 12 guests during your relaxed stay. Your hosts have thought of everything to enhance your experience, including luxury linens, lightning-fast cable/internet, a washer-dryer and mini-laundry room, and high-end hotel-level mattresses. There is a full complement of beach gear, including Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella, water shoes, and portable cooler for guest use.
The Master bedroom, which features a luxurious King, is well separated from the other two bedrooms, and the oversized sleeper sofa in the living room. The Master has direct lanai access and features the same forever-views as the living room and kitchen.
A large gas barbeque grill and outdoor shower are conveniently located off the kitchen entrance, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. There is a fenced-in courtyard area in the front yard, a quiet and secluded patio space ideal for private time with your favorite beach read.

You're on the sand in fifteen seconds, where you'll discover a natural shallow reef – bring your water shoes (or use some of ours) and venture out for a swim. For your full-on beach days, the home is located four blocks from Charlie Young Beach, about fifteen minutes by foot. Charley Young, which adjoins Kamaole I Beach, is one of our island's “postcard” beaches, and features a gorgeous, wide swatch of soft golden sand, excellent swimming and snorkeling, and the quintessential Maui beach experience.
If you prefer to stay close to home, our home offers access to the best beach area on the the Halama Street shoreline. It's small, but picturesque – and the experienced snorkeler navigating the long, shallow entry (water shoes only!) can access reef unperturbed by others. You can launch your paddleboard or raft directly in front of the property and enjoy a comfortably sized, hardly travelled bit of your own Maui beach.

Venture inland just a few blocks and you're close to a Starbucks, movie theatre, and our favorite burger on the island, served up by Kool Cat Café. Enjoy a dozen restaurants and a large grocery store within a four-block range of the home, which features secure parking with its own driveway. At wonderful Kalama Park, a short 4-block stroll from the home, you'll find local families and visitors enjoying basketball courts, baseball diamonds, a kid's playground with swings and climbing toys, and an enclosed roller-skating rink (with rental skates) that's open weekend evenings.

Family Vacation
First off, the location is absolutely perfect. As soon as you walk through the front door you are hit with beautiful views of the ocean. The management company is always communicating with you to ensure everything goes well. The one issue we dealt with was insects and lizards. The management was quick to respond and sent someone out.

Very Pleasant Vacation
Home was all that was advertised. We had a very pleasant vacation. We were comfortable without feeling like we were going to break something, yet in a beautiful home. Amazed at how thoughtful the supplies were, eg: beach towels, beach chairs, linens, etc. Would rent again.

Peaceful spot in Kehei
This is a great spot if you're looking for something out of the busy tourist area! The house is great, plenty of space for my husband & I and our 5 children. The beach out front is lovely with tons of turtles! Our best decision was renting a couple of paddle boards for the week (they'll deliver!). We paddled out almost every morning and saw lots of turtles. Only downside is the wind in the afternoon, which I believe is just a Maui thing no matter what.

Wow, where to start, it was all just so darn great! The house is a perfect spot, close to shopping and everything. The beach is almost a private one, no resorts on this beach and thus, very few folks crowding it. The house is fabulous, first rate all around! We will be back again! Thanks!

The property is as large as the pictures show! The walk to the beach, which is on the side of the property, literally took me only one minute, and that was walking slowly with a beach chair.

Fantastic House
Everything about this house was wonderful. The view from the house and patio is spectacular; the sunsets picture perfect. The beach is perfect for walks, especially in the morning when the turtles are out. We loved the large open living room, dining room and kitchen. The master suite is spacious with an ocean view and access to the patio. Comfortable beds throughout and lots of extra blankets and pillows. The beach towels were plentiful, as were the beach chairs. We found the location to be very convenient to stores, restaurants and the highways if you choose to go exploring. We definitely recommend this house.

This property is incredible. The view from the patio is second to none. Sherry was fantastic.
We have had good and bad experiences with vrbo but this property is incredible. We went with our 5 kids ages 12-25 and everyone had a wonderful time. The beach was private and although sometimes the wind picked up sometimes, it was part of experience. The house provided enough beach chairs and beach equipment for everyone to be happy. The house is beautiful and has thoughtful touches. Everything that you would need for a vacation is provided. Lots of beach towels, starter condiments in kitchen, coffee maker AND filters - just everything. The bedroom set up is perfect. Everyone was spread out and had ample room and bathroom space. The living room is open and inviting and we found ourselves all gathered and watching TV together late night. The floor to ceiling windows of back of house gave beautiful view of ocean at all times. The town of Kihei was so nice and we loved that we were out of the craziness that was farther north./west. It was nice place to visit but not as peaceful as Kihei. Lots of great suggestions from Sherry, who was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend this property. We will be back someday!!

Beautiful immaculate vacation home
This immaculate and beautifully designed vacation home was perfect for a weeklong stay for our family of 6 (it could have slept 2 more). It is right on the beach and we saw turtles in the water several times. It is also centrally located to convenient shops such as Long's drugstore, supermarkets and local restaurants. Two of the bedrooms (the master and the one with one queen, one twin) have ensuite full bathrooms and the 3rd bedroom (two queens) is enormous with a full bathroom just outside. It was very handy to have a washing machine and dryer. My family loved it!

First Trip to Hawaii
This was an excellent trip. The pictures of the house were spot on. Sherry was wonderful and very responsive. The beaches just south of the house(Makenna) are better as the water is clearer. I recommend renting a kayak to see the sea turtles that swim directly out from the house. Highly recommend this property.

Gem of a property- sunsets galore!
This home exceeded our expectations upon arrival. It was in pristine condition, the kitchen is well appointed and the pantry has a nice variety of spices and other basic accoutrements. Gorgeous flowers were on the dining room table and a nice collection of sweet treats everyone enjoyed! The air conditioning worked great and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable (this is a BIG deal for us!) But most importantly - the VIEW is spectacular. I video- taped it before we left just so we could still hear all the waves and beautiful birds cooing. I just love those morning doves! We loved the natural preserved landscaping in front of the property and did see many turtles in the water daily and one even beached for a short while before crawling back to sea. We are huge turtle fans now! The best time on the beach in front of the house is the morning, until around 11am/noon then the winds pick up and we found other adventures to take- however the sunsets from the patio (or the beach right in front) are to die for! We travel all over the world and would not hesitate to stay here again! Mahalo to Sherrie for maintaining and sharing this lovely property!

House is a 5, but beach is a 4!
Perfect rental for 3 generations of family. It was better than the pictures. We loved the welcome goodies and beautiful fresh flowers. So many nice touches to make your stay comfortable including an informative welcome booklet. Sherry, the house manager was fabulous. Very quick to respond to any questions or issues. Ocean views from all living areas and master. Loved the open floor plan where we all could hang out together in the large living space. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The house was well stocked with all the necessities. Wifi Worked great too. We loved the sunsets. They were beautiful from the house patio or on the beach. We saw Sea turtles along the beach every day. We found that the beach is calmer in early morning and some evenings. Most afternoons we found the beach to be very windy, but you could still go for walks or sit on the patio and enjoy views. Not exactly a beach for swimming, but great for walking (in water or on beach) we saw paddle boarders and kayaking too. Great sand for sand castles. Definitely bring water shoes for walking in water. Beach is short walk from house. Resturants and shopping were very convenient. My adult kids walked to many of the markets and coffee shops in the mornings. This house is everything that it is advertised to be. Mahalo :)
