Rental Details

Property Overview

Summary:

Wake up to the soft sounds of waves in this wonderful bungalow. Walk atop the hardwood floors while floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of sunlight. Lounge by the communal pool and enjoy a warm evening out on the private lanai.

The Space:

Villa 1 at Villas by the Cove is a beautifully appointed one-bedroom villa located in the heart of Kihei, directly across from Cove Park and just steps from two of South Maui’s most popular white-sand beaches. Set slightly back from the road and surrounded by a lush tropical garden of mango and palm trees, this private single-story retreat offers a peaceful island atmosphere with unbeatable proximity to the ocean.

This charming 600-square-foot villa comfortably accommodates two adults in a king bed, which may be converted into two twin beds upon request. The living room features a full-size sofa bed, suitable for one additional adult or two small children, making Villa 1 an ideal choice for couples or small families.

Originally built as a beach bungalow in the 1950s, Villa 1 retains its classic Hawaiian character while incorporating thoughtful modern upgrades. The interior includes an air-conditioned ocean-view living room, high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable king bedroom, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Thoughtfully designed like a second home, Villa 1 comes stocked with essentials and travel extras: beach towels, iron and ironing board, tupperware, wine glasses, dishwasher pods, clothes drying rack, and more. Basic necessities—linens, bath towels, kitchen rags, travel-size toiletries, and pantry staples like salt, pepper, and olive oil—are also included.

Step outside to the covered lanai to enjoy gentle ocean breezes, or take advantage of private gated parking conveniently located just steps from the front door. With Cove Park, swimming beaches, and Kihei’s coastal lifestyle right outside your door, Villa 1 offers an authentic and relaxed Maui stay in an exceptional location.

Two beach chairs, two boogie boards, a beach umbrella, and a cooler are provided for your sun-filled days at the beach.

The Neighborhood:

Villas by the Cove is located 25 feet from The Cove Beach Park where guests can mingle with locals, take surf lessons or body surf in The Cove's consistent small waves. Charley Young Beach, a long stretch of white sand ideal for beach walks and swimming, is another local favorite that's located at the end of the street, about a one minute walk from the property front gate.

The villa was very nice, clean and functional, very close to really nice beach. Would be a perfect vacation spot if not for the noise. The property is located across the street from a park and there was music and loud party noises every single evening/night. That combined with pretty hard bed made it for quite tiresome stay. When making the booking I was reading the reviews for all the villas and I thought this one would not have a problem, but it's hard to imagine that there would be much difference, this park is just so noisy with the non-stop parties going on.

I have stayed on Maui four times a year for decades. I have found over the years that my standards aren’t always the same as property owners standards, not that I am picky but honestly if you are going to rent your home as a vacation rental make it right. Well Guy gets it……. the property is wonderful the villas the grounds are amazing all of it perfect. Thank you Guy!!! I can’t say enough. I do not write reviews ever but felt that Guy deserves a That-A-Boy!!!!

The property itself was so charming. Super clean and modern and really convenient. The pool is so nice and our room amhad everything we needed. we thought Overall it was just so nice and a great value. It’s steps from the beach, but keep in mind that the properties surrounding this one arent necessarily as nice and as kept up as this one. A little further down the road you hit where it gets really posh and nice. However we were looking for somethig affordable because we didn’t plan on being in the room much! The communication with the host was excellent. We had an issue with loud people late at night at the park across the street and it was resolved very quick! Check in and out was a breeze as well.

It was a challenge to find a place as close as I wanted by the water. This place was perfect! Loved the background music always playing during the day. The pool was nice and the whole facility was the cleanest place I’ve stayed at this whole trip. Totally staying here again!

Amazing property and amazing location. We spent 4 nights after staying at The Sheraton for a week and this was the perfect place to escape the crowds and it felt like a private Villa with how quiet it was. It was awesome to have our own Villa as they are all not attached to one another. The location was amazing as it was literally a few steps away from the beach where you can watch surfers all day. The property manager was also amazing and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this property .
