About this property

BEACHFRONT HOUSE KIHEI, MAUI..TRUE HAWAIIAN HOME 1960's

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.

Great Stay!

This property was great! Being right on the beach with the turtles was amazing! We enjoyed days on the beach and sunsets on the patio. It felt pretty private, and the he beach wasn’t heavily trafficked. This unit was exactly what we hoped for!

Beautiful old Hawaii feel

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.

Island getaway

My husband and I went to Oahu in 2011 and, while we had a wonderful time, we were looking for something a little less crowded. We got our wish with this lovely little home, just steps from Ma'alaea Bay. The house was comfortable and fairly well appointed, although not as updated as the larger house next door. Brian was a tremendous help and answered all of our questions promptly. It was such a treat to sit on the lanai with our breakfast and see the ocean. If you are lucky, fresh bananas and lemons can be picked from the trees in the yard. The bay is a whale favourite and happy hour on the beach is a great way to whale watch! We had a wonderful opportunity to paddle to our bay in an outrigger canoe to see the humpbacks up close. It was an amazing experience, and highly recommended. We had a microphone and were able to hear the mother and baby swimming about 10 feet away from our boat. Everything is close by - airport and Costco about 30 mins. and all of the main beaches are minutes away by car. The beach in front of the house is fairly rocky, but there is a sandy area just a few minutes walk down the beach that is great for swimming. Great snorkeling is available right off the beaches, due to the abundance of coral reef. I would recommend this for couples or families that don't want the 'resort' life, and don't need a waiter to make them their margaritas.....we can't wait to come back. Mahalo.

Super Strandlage und idealer Ausgangspunkt um Maui zu erkunden. Das Schauspiel, wenn die Meeresschildkröten abends a den Strand kommen ist beeindruckend und einzigartig. Das Strandhaus vermittelt den Maui Charme und ist sehr gut mit allem ausgestattet. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Take-out Diner gibt es ausreichend in kurzer Distanz.

Fantastic property. This property is better than described on VRBO. Very nice and comfortably inside but even better out back. Direct access to a usable beach in an extremely spacious backyard where you can look at the huge trees, birds, mongoose, beach and sunset. And of course, the parade of sea turtles that come out like clockwork about 10 minutes after sunset. Every night roughly 20 of them come out and visit within feet of where you sit on the beach.

Adorable cottage beach house that fit our family of six perfectly. The large outdoor grass area was fun for family games as provided by the owner. Great supplies for beach play including towels, toys, chairs and umbrellas. The views are spectacular, location and access and great, and the turtle welcome on our first morning was hesrtwarming. Couldbt have been a better experience and fun time for our four year old grandsons first Maui experience. We all gelt at home and welcome here..including chairs, umbrellas,

fantastic view

The view from this home is what it is all about...Huge Banyan tree, perfectly manicured yard, and a view of the ocean, across the large yard. Nice large lanai to sit and enjoy it all. The croquet set was a fun addition.... The home worked for the 5 of us. It may be better suited for 4 people, as you need to move furniture to drop the murphy bed in the living room each day. (not a complaint, just thought others might want to consider this) The location on the island is perfect. Very easy to get anywhere. We stayed our last 4 days in Kaanapali, and this is by far the most convenient part of the island. Brian was a great host and responded quickly to any concerns. We would recommend this home, and will return, if possible.

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!).
