Perfect Stay

We had such a wonderful stay at Helen’s house. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to Makena Landing Park or around a half-mile easy walk to the beautiful Maluaka Beach. The snorkeling in front of the house was amazing, we spotted turtles every day! We hope to stay here again.

Perfect Maui Setting

WE had a great stay. Plenty of room for the family. There were 11 of us (6 adults and 5 grown kids). the outside entry to the upstairs bedrooms was very convenient and gave each group privacy and at the same time a feeling of being all together. The views were amazing. Makena is special and just remote enough to be peaceful. Great snorkeling and turtle watching right in front of the property. We loved it.

Extended family ages 4 to 88

We were so happy with this beautiful home with incredible views. We watched boat tours with snorkelers and kayaks come every day to see the turtles. We loved walking to the beach, snorkeling and playing in the yard. Very close to high end hotels with great restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for a better private home in Maui.

This was a July family trip including 2 older adults, 3 younger adults, and a 5 year-old covering 5 nights. We loved this home and our time here. It is an older home, but it is well-maintained inside and out, and the gardeners have created a paradise in the back. It is easy to be reminded of an Hawaii of years past. There are homes close in to the left and right, but, in the back yard, they were easy to ignore. Everything you will likely need in the kitchen is there. My only complaint: the price. Still, we are glad we did it because this will be a lasting memory. Some things worth noting by prospective renters: (1) You access 1 room from the living room, but the other 3 are accessed by climbing some stairs to an outside landing, upon which the rooms exit. Picture a hotel. (2) There is no AC in the common areas. Each roon has its own. (3) Due to the high cost of electricity, Helen has the AC turned off when guests leave, so expect the home to be hot when you arrive. It took us 4 hours to bring the temp down to the mid-70's. After that, we had no problem staying comfortable. (4) Helen states that she cannot eradicate the ants, so don't leave any open food on the kitchen counter. All and all, if you don't mind the price, I can heartily recommend this home. Oh, by the way, it is in a beautiful area.

Great location and charm to spare.

The location in a residential area with access to a lagoon right from the property was amazing. Plus there's a sand beach in easy walking distance if you have difficulty getting in the water off the lava rocks. The snorkling was really good and water is calm enough even for modest swimmers. The house is charming with old school Hawaiian charm. It's perfect for large families or groups of friends. We spent all our time on the ample sized outdoor covered deck and large grass back yard.

Lovely Kama'aina Property, perfect for privacy and enjoyment

What a lovely home in a beautiful and peaceful location, right on the water near Makena Landing. Plenty of space inside and outside. The covered lanai, side patio and front lawn provide many relaxing options. We watched sunset and the stars. What a view! The steep driveway is not for the faint of heart however once out of the car this property is stunning and welcoming.

We appreciate that you enjoyed our property and what it has to offer. As to the driveway, the topography of the property dictated it's construction and incline. We have found that using the lowest gear available in your vehicle and driving slowly, will get you down to the house without any problems. Mahalo Helen

Ultimate Oceanfront View

My cheeks hurt…from smiling! This is the real “Turtle Town.” Also plenty of whale sightings. No need to spend money for snorkel and/or whale watching cruises. Stay at this older house to really enjoy Maui as it used to be: no road noise, no high rise buildings in sight! Thank you, Helen!

The property was great. Nice sized rooms. Located on low rock ledge over looking ocean. Several beaches minutes walk from house. Great area for diving snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding. Great back yard with nice lawn for kids to play and adults to watch the beautiful views and sunsets. Large covered patio on back of house with lights and ceiling fans where we talked and played games at night. Great location for a family.
