About this property

Oceanfront Vacation Rental in Central Kihei Apt. #4

Prime Location:

Located in the heart of Kihei at the quiet northern end of beautiful Halama Street, this family-owned and operated vacation rental offers the perfect balance of convenience and relaxation. Tucked away from the large resorts and busy tourist areas, guests can enjoy a peaceful, local-style setting while still being centrally located. Within minutes, you’ll find banks, grocery stores, shops, restaurants, medical clinics, the post office, and many other everyday conveniences.

Apartment Description:

This oceanfront apartment features one bedroom and one bathroom, offering a relaxing upper-level retreat just steps from the ocean. The apartment includes a full kitchen, private bathroom, and a living room with a sofa sleeper pullout for additional sleeping accommodations.

Located on the upper level, the apartment has its own private entrance and all the comforts of home, including a modern kitchen equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and everything needed to prepare meals during your stay. Enjoy coffee or tea from your private ocean-facing balcony while taking in beautiful views from both the living room and kitchen.

Although the sunsets can be enjoyed from the comfort of the apartment, the beach and ocean are literally just outside the backyard, making it easy to spend your days by the water. After sunset, unwind with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning before falling asleep to the soothing sounds of nearby waves.

Outdoor Amenities:

Guests who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate the beach chairs positioned for beautiful sunset views, along with lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing and relaxation. The property also features a volleyball net and several picnic tables for outdoor dining and recreation.

Stretching approximately 75 feet from the building to the shoreline, the spacious, well-maintained lawn is lined with palm trees and offers plenty of room to unwind and enjoy the oceanfront setting. The beach itself is peaceful, quiet, and highly private, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing Maui getaway.

Beach & Activities:

The nearby shoreline is an ideal spot for watching Hawaiian sea turtles as they come ashore to rest on the sand. The area also offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, wind and kite surfing, pole fishing, shell collecting, and more. 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.

Additional Information:

The property offers two unique accommodation options: a two-story oceanfront building with four individual and separate apartments, as well as a detached two-bedroom cottage. Each accommodation is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, convenience, and a relaxing island atmosphere, making the property ideal for families, couples, and groups seeking a memorable Maui getaway.

The featured accommodation in this listing is Apt. #4, a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment located on the upper level.

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.

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.

Location is 2nd to none. Right in front of beach and quiet neighbors. Beach is very calm and you get to see sea turtle and even whale passing by if you are lucky.Now, as a landlord myself, I would definitely upgrade furniture and fix the area where termite was affected.Nit the turn off of the property but would be good to have are; spoons, shampoo, and other condiments (salt/pepper/cooking oil/etc.). I know Michael would have given condiments if asked but we already bought them before I got to talk to him. We arrived late and didn't want to bother at late hours.This brings next topic. He is mich better with call then text. If you need his attention right away, call instead text.Michael, I also suggest you to make a pdf file for all your trip suggestions and email to future renters instead of sending same text messages to renters.He is very helpful and wants you to enjoy your stay. Just needs some updates and better methods.

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.

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.
