A place to make Hawaii yours.

Overview

A closer look

About this property

True Hawaiian style is based on informality and lacks pretense. And that's what you’ll find here, a humble home situated on a spectacular oceanfront parcel of land in a mixed demographic neighborhood. The studio apartment has its own private entrance in back of the main house on the 2nd floor. The building is a weathered wood-frame structure and the interior is nicely decorated with a glass-top dining table and 2 chairs, a relaxed seating area with a colorful area rug, couch, and a very comfortable Queen sized bed with an ensemble of crisp linens.

There is an ocean view and wood floors throughout, a fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom with bath and beach towels. Amenities include air-conditioning, WI-FI, flat screen T.V., beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler.

Perfectly accommodates 2 guests but can sleep up to 3 using the couch that folds out into a full bed.

GUEST ACCESS

The beach is a 30 second walk from the apartment. The spacious front lawn facing the ocean is yours to use anytime. Enjoy lounging in the hammock and gazing up at the coconut trees.

A BBQ grill is available in the backyard and can be accessed under the stairs.

ALL GAS TANKS AND GRILL SWITCHES MUST BE TURNED OFF AFTER EACH USE.

The area past the grill along the side of main house is off limits and a private area for owner use only.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Charley Young Beach Park is well known for it's gentle surf and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, stand up paddle, fishing, and there's miles of sandy beach to walk in either direction.

The studio faces the ocean and runs adjacent to the street below, next to the entrance of a popular beach park so factor in a bit of noise- people, bicycles, mopeds and vehicles. If beach park activity makes you happy, the location just doesn’t get any better than this. Most everything is within walking distance to the beach house- grocery stores, farmers markets, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants and fine dining, shopping, entertainment, and all the accoutrements you can think for a comfortable stay.

BEFORE YOU BOOK WITH US:

Please take notice of our cancellation policies. We STRONGLY recommend that you get travel insurance to protect your financial investment in case you need to cancel your stay with us. Your careful planning and consideration in this matter is very much appreciated.

And lastly, remember that Hawaii is located in the sub tropics where plants, birds and insects are all a part of the natural environment. We go through great lengths to clean and keep the studio bug free. Still, you may see an occasional critter. If you stay with us, you can help by emptying your trash everyday and not leaving any food out.

E Komo Mai! Welcome! We hope our guests enjoy the studio's vintage charm and the incredible beachfront property.

Second time staying here, perfect for my needs, close to the beach and the hosts are very helpful. Will be back again.

It's uniquely situated on the ocean side of South Kihei Road, walking distance to amenities and just steps away from Charlie Young Beach. It's a busy corner and neighborhood, a bit of noise on weekends, but the mornings are quiet and nice and walk a great place to go for a walk! The hosts are awesome and helpful. The property is "vintage." Not shiny and new! The AC works great, and the views to the west are great, mountains, the sunsets, and you hear the waves from the Pacific crashing in at night.

It could have had more teaspoons and the carpet needed cleaning as did the curtains. There were lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance which is nice. The access to the beach was great and so close. We met a lot of nice people including the host, Derek.

What a perfect little spot to land in Kīhei, right on Charlie Young Beach! The studio has everything you need with the perk of a very comfortable bed. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning, sipping our coffee. We loved lounging under the Palm Trees, listening to life on Maui. We can’t wait to go back!

We had a great time here- the location is hard to beat, just steps from the beach and within easy walking distance to the main drag and many amenities. The host was great, very welcoming, and it was a great touch to offer beach chairs/umbrellas/coolers for us to use during our stay. The studio suite itself was well equipped, clean and suited our needs perfectly. As others have said, there’s a bit of street noise, but we used earplugs and had zero issues, slept great. Would definitely return and can highly recommend.

Older style practical unit in great location. Perfect for couple. A bit cosy for 3. Food trucks in gardens good value. Swim between flags advisable. Walk to kihei or kamaole for shopping. We were comfortable with no car

Beautiful spot with being close to the beach , owners very pleasant but did not see them much. Only unsatisfied with the loud street noise and other tenant in building had loud motorcycle leaving at early hours.

For us this somewhat funky, vintage studio apartment epitomizes the real Maui beach bum experience. No giant, stuffy, overpriced resort hotels for us! While at the same time being extremely well located for a 2 minute walk to the beach, and 5 minute drive to central Kihei restaurants and shops, and only 10 minutes from lavish Wailea shops and restaurants and resorts. The vintage studio also offers some of the other "charms" of island life, including the local wild rooster clucking defiance every morning, the occasional loud motorcycle, or car stereo rumbling past, and of course a constant stream of beach goers toting all their towels and chairs. Ocean views and sea breezes through the many open windows in this old school apartment, and a little balcony,, make the experience complete. The hosts are friendly locals living on site who make the stay feel personal and authentic. Bananas off the tree anyone?

You couldn’t get a better location, right on the beach, beautiful! The place is vintage, which is good, only problem is the windows are very thin so hear the street beside and the neighbours. Would definitely stay there again.
