Maui Mango Cottage Stellar Lanai Private Hidden Gem Family Friendly 3bd

The Good:The house is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach. The Lanai was beautiful with great views of the ocean.The Bad: The house was disgusting when we arrived: evidence of the white substance (human excretions) left on the sheets on 2 of the 4 beds, blood stain on the mattress cover, urine on the toilet, scum on and in the refrigerator/dishwasher, dirt and dust on counters and sticky floors that were clearly not vacuumed (I have pictures). There was expired food left in the fridge from the previous guests as well. The oven was missing a knob for one of the burners; the fridge and dishwasher are rusting out. There was a serious bug infestation, requiring wiping the counters multiple times a day and full-sized cockroaches in the bedrooms. There was no communication that someone was coming to spray for bugs. We would have requested not to have toxic spray in the house while here. The host was fast at responding until a refund for this was requested, then nothing. I asked to split our payment between two credit cards and they would not help with this and went radio silent. Then when I expressed my concern about the about the reimbursement, radio silence. Overall, we were not happy about our stay due to the incomprehensible hygienic negligence and poor communication. This house really could be a hidden gem with a little more care.

Our family of 6 really enjoyed staying here. There was enough space for everyone and it really is just a 5 minute walk to Airport Beach (also known as Kahekili). We had no problems with cleaniless. The little complex the cottage is apart of is quiet and well maintained. Our family spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the ocean view and breezes. We would definietly stay here again.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this rental, and it had everything we needed. Great location and well-maintained. It's a little bit outdated, yes, but that didn't bother me at all considering it looked exactly like the listing (even better in my opinion), and was very clean, functional, and still very charming. We really enjoyed eating dinner and watching sunsets on the adorable lanai, and the shared pool in the complex was great! We would definitely rent this place again if we ever return to Maui.

Based up previous review, we expected it to be simple, but clean and fully functioning. Surfaces were not all clean, some small things didn't work, and it was very difficult to communicate with the hosts (gave us no local contact email or cell # and VRBO app didn't work for contacting host). It would have been great to have some sort of cottage notebook with info about local areas, beaches, restaurants, and driving distances from house. No local info provided; had to search everything ourselves. Regular VRBO renter with only premier hosts, but this one didn't live up to status.

We had a great time. The cottage is great...beach access was great...love the included chairs, umbrellas, etc. Spent a bunch of time on the lanai...great sunset views! Thanks!

this is a perfect location for a first time visit. Great location not right on the ocean just a bit of a getaway, you feel like a Local don’t have to put up with the resort crowds. The house has a really cool funk and a great patio that we would spend the night playing cards and doing family socializing, I would highly highly recommend

We had an amazing time at this cute cottage. Nic and Betsy were very accommodating. How to enter was super easy. We enjoyed the Hawaiian weather like they suggested. It was nice and cool at night, we just kept the fans blowing through out the day and night. We appreciated the beach accessories that were provided and were able to take what we needed for days. The pool was fun and helped keep the little ones busy. Overall, we would definitely come back to this spot and also recommend to others. Thank you for everything! We had a great stay!

We had the most enjoyable family vacation, spending two weeks at the cottage. Upon arrival, the check-in process was easy and we found the cottage to be well stocked with everything we needed including a full kitchen and plenty of linens including beach towels. The popular hangout was on the lanai where we had a great view of the ocean and enjoyed whale watching. The beach closet is packed with everything you need including chairs and snorkel gear. The cottage does not have a/c but we always had a breeze and the owner provides fans for additional air flow. The community is quiet with friendly neighbors, the pool is just a few steps away, and parking is easy. If this property is on your radar don’t hesitate!

Very spacious. Room for 6 to spread out. Loved the big lanai. Great location close to restaurants and shops. Very short drive to Lahaina. Short walk to great beaches.

This was a great location and very comfortable for him my family’s vacation! The less than 10-minute walk to the Kaanapali Beach was the best! The pool and shuffleboard were so much fun, right down the walkway! Comfortable beds and awesome outdoor living area!
