Kihei - Tropical Cottage Across from the Beach - PERMIT # STKM 2015/0003

We stayed in the two bedroom cottage next to the main house and it was great -- spacious and had all the things you could want. The location directly across from the beach was great and it was a very short drive to everything else.

Great hosts, super friendly and accommodating. Everything you could want at the property for the beach, so less to rent/buy. Lots of supplies in the house as well. Definitely coming back.

Harry was awesome showing us around the place and handing us the key. Beach right across the street.

We had a great stay in Kihei, very nice place, owners were very responsive, easy access to the beach, Kihei and the island. We would definitely stay here again if available.

We have been to Maui 6 times, always staying at cottages instead of hotels and this was the best one yet. The house was far nicer than we anticipated, and seemed more like someone's home than a rental. Very nicely decorated and furnished and it lacked no amenities we could think of. Although you cannot see the ocean from the house, it is right across the road from the beach and you can see the ocean from the lounge chairs in the private lanai/courtyard. The owners greeted us and showed us everything including all the beach toys and accessories, and even how to open and scrape a coconut! The location is ideal - close to everything and across from very safe beach that is great for swimming, paddle boarding , snorkeling, walks or just reading a book. We will be back!

We stayed in this cottage for about 2 and a half weeks and had a very nice time. When we arrived there was a wonderful gift basket full (yes, full) of local goodies and treats. Linda and Harry were wonderful hosts, they had a lot of information and communicated quickly with us (like when Mauna Loa erupted on the nearby big island. There was some high winds during our stay, while at our friends it sounded like a scary movie. At the cottage we didn't even know the wind was blowing. :) Oh yeah, I have to mention the treat basket again. It was great :) We would love to come back. They have a couple different locations you can stay at on the large property. Just beautiful.

This little house is adorable and big enough for 4-5 people. The owners spent a little while chatting with us, telling us where to visit, eat and rules of the ocean (whales and turtles). Location is perfect for everywhere on the island, although Hana is a bit far.

We felt incredibly well taken care of and frankly spoiled staying here. Communication was stellar, the property is wonderful, and so many little details were well beyond the usual. Very generous, warm hosts. Thank you!!

Stayed with my wife and two boys (5 and 8). The two bedroom is in a small gated compound with a few other free standing cottages that are spaced far enough apart that we never heard the other folks. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you need to hit the beaches and cook at home. The beach is right across the street, it's a smaller beach but great for when you don't feel like driving to one of the better known ones. Great shave ice is in walking distance and a small convenience store, but there's no sidewalk so the walk is a bit tough with squirmy small children. I generally found myself driving to beaches and activities, which worked since Kihei is central. Linda and Harry provided a nice array of snacks and drinks on arrival and were responsive.

We had a great week in Maui staying here. It is in a good central location allowing easy access to any part of the island. Definitely hope to stay here again in the future.
