During whale season, guests may even catch glimpses of whales passing offshore.
Ocean and beach equipment can be rented from the many nearby shops in town. While we do not provide beach gear, guests do have access to coolers, lawn chairs, BBQ facilities, and beach towels for added convenience during their stay.

Love, love, love this location. The beach is right out front and we loved taking the chairs out to watch the sunrise/sunset. Host was like you were renting from a friend. Will definitely book again.
It was such a cool facility really close to the beach. You can sit and enjoy in the balcony with the ocean view. We really enjoyed our three days the host was awesome.
The best part is the beachfront location with beautiful views and a grass lawn. We loved lounging, watching the sunset and swimming at the beach. 10/10 location.
This is an truly spectacular location. Book this place if only for the incredible view you get and the nightly magical sunsets you get to experience. It is also very well located, within walking distance of the Kihei center. The apartment itself is very comfortable and clean. Will stay here again next time we are in town.
Great location, beach is out your back door. Close to great restaurants and shopping. The owner Micheal is very accommodating and kind. We stayed 4 days and would rent the place again.
Michael was awesome. The location was perfect. I will stay there again when on Maui. You can't go wrong with this property. With immediate beach access in the heart of town you feel far away from the grind. Best sunsets in town!
Best place on Maui to stay. Quiet neighborhood, and the views on the back lawn are incredible. Michael is such a great host and always has suggestions of where to eat and what to do on the island. Super nice guy.
One of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed. The location is unmatched. Beautiful sunsets and steps from the beach. I loved waking up and drinking coffee steps from the ocean. Great place for a couple.
This spot is great! Short walk on grass to the beach. Tons of turtles in the water. Mike is wonderful to chat with and has a ton of suggestions. Good for couples to while families. Definitely coming back!
Location, Location, Location! Magnificent sunset views. The home was clean and updated. Mike (owner) is a wonderful person and we enjoyed visiting with him throughout the week. Enjoyed the seclusion and beach as well as the turtles. Aloha!
Everything was great here! The biggest draw was being right on the beach in Kihei so we could walk on the beach and swim right there. We had everything we needed for our week stay. Mike went above and beyond to recommend restaurants and a gym. Would definitely return!
We had an absolutely lovely stay, and Mike went above and beyond to give us great recommendations and make us feel welcome. We mostly used it as a home base for adventuring (very convenient!), but kind of wish we would have taken more advantage of the beautiful property - can’t beat the outdoor area going right out to the beach. Recommend, and hope to return.
Michael was tremendous as our host. He loaned chairs and coolers to us. The place was nice, well maintained and had a beautiful grassy yard leading up to the beach.
We were first time VRBO customers. We looked at many properties before we chose this one. We were on our 25th Anniversary and the spot was perfect. It was centrally located for events and to travel around Maui from Kihei. I do suggest having a car, but I didn't see a better location on Maui that I would stay. It is located on a quiet street about a mile from downtown Kihei stores and restaurants. Downtown Kihei main street is very busy during the day. We used both the kitchen and laundry. Plus we used the beach towels, chairs and beach daily. The beach is quiet and perfect for romantic walks with the perfect sunsets. It has a great view of Haleakala in the front but the sunrise takes time, hidden behind the mountain. I would recommend this location for a quiet romantic vacation spot. The Host Michael was nice and helped with any requests we had.The balcony was the best part for morning coffee and watching the sunsets.
We absolutely loved our stay here. Mike was the best host and made sure we had everything we needed! He had great local recommendations and truly went above and beyond to make our stay in Maui memorable. The apartment was very clean and had the most incredible view! The AC in both the living area and close to the bed worked wonderfully.Our favorite part was the secluded beach directly out front of the property. Though it wasn’t a private beach, it very much felt that way, as we had it mostly to ourselves! We were not ready to leave and hope to return soon! Mahalo, Mike, for an incredible experience.
The unit is at the dead end of a quiet residential street, right on the ocean. Although everything you need is nearby, the unit feels secluded from the busyness of the area. Plenty of space in the 1 bedroom unit with a full kitchen and living area. The deep yard leads to the beach, which you pretty much have to yourself. It was a very tranquil setting, which we hope to someday come back to. Thank you Michael for everything!
Apartment had so many perks: excellent location right off the beach, super clean, great air conditioning, quiet, lots of equipment available for beach activities, and a top tier host. Mike greeted us when we arrived and was excited to hear about or interests. We were only staying 4 days and it was our first time in Maui. Mike gave so many great recommendations for day-trip activities such as hikes, sightseeing, and restaurants. He also alerted us to characteristics of the beach nearby, such as being sure to watch for turtles and whales. We had a wonderful time thanks to Mike covering everything we needed.
