Cottage in Kihei
Loved the patio area. Bathroom extremely small,,We are small people so I do not know how a large person could manage. Also two huge liabilities for the owner. The first being the step coming out of the bathroom. The second is the step from living area into the kitchen. As seniors we found them to be EXTREMELY dangerous !!! Mold in shower head, towel rack ready to fall off the wall, TV unable to watch for us ,as the sound needs to be repaired. Several huge roaches in the house .Neighbors extremely noisy!! Other than that, LOVED Hawaii and hated to leave. We really did enjoy our stay but thought the owner should be aware of the two steps before some gets seriously hurt.

Perfect beach hq
The cottage was perfect for our family, walkable to a few places and an easy drive to anywhere else. Laundry, beach gear, and a pull out sofa were ideal for our family of 4, and the walkability and flowering tree next door made our stay amazing. The listing says two adults, and I agree, more than 2 adults would be cramped. Thanks for a lovely stay!!

Just what we were looking for:)
We were looking for a quiet, safe location that had a king bed! Place was clean had a lot of amenities such as a grill outback that we didn’t use couple lawnchair‘s awning and snorkel gear, which was great. It might be in the listing we didn’t see it, so we brought our own, who is nice to have a laundry place as well be nice if they can figure out a way to do recycling but we understand.

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
Originally from Vancouver, BC Canada, we decided to follow our dream of one day living in Maui. We married in Oahu in November 2014 and moved to Maui in August 2015. We love everything about this island and have never looked back!

Why they chose this property

Kihei is situated on the wouth side of the island and is known as one of the sunniest and driest areas on Maui. We purchased this property because of the central location. We love that the cottage is close to everything Kihei has to offer yet is just far enough away to feel peaceful and quiet. When we bought the property is was in need of a complete remodel. We were up for the challenge and are so happy with how it turned out!

What makes this property unique

The cottage is completely renovated and modern. We chose more modern furnishings compared to the more traditional, tropical style furnishings typically seen in Hawaii. We invested extra money into a new mattress so we can provide our guests with a comfortable sleep, just like you would get in your own home. Our favorite thing about the cottage is the lanai. We love spending mornings and evenings outside on the lanai enjoying the sunrise or sunset, dinners, coffee in the morning or just lounging with a book.
