Rental Details

Property Overview

Say Aloha to this beautiful, oceanfront property and charming 2nd floor studio perched on a bluff overlooking Charley Young Beach.

True Hawaiian style is based on informality and lacks pretense. That's exactly what you’ll find here, a humble home situated on a spectacular oceanfront parcel of land in an old neighborhood. The studio apartment is in the back of the main house on the 2nd floor. The building is a weathered wood-frame structure and the interior is nicely appointed with an heirloom-style dining table and 2 chairs, Queen bed and a couch that pulls out into a full bed.
There are ocean views throughout the apartment and a screen door that opens up onto a small balcony with a garden view and just beyond that, a sandy beach. Has a private entrance, 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 3 people with the additional sleeper sofa.

The beach is a 30 second walk from the apartment. The front of the house has a spacious lawn with palm trees overlooking the ocean. Feel free to use the front yard, hammock and lounge chairs anytime.
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. Most everything is a short car ride or 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 of to keep happy and comfortable during your stay.

Other Things To Note
Remember that Hawaii is located in the sub tropics where plants, birds and insects are all 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.

Very good place with an amazing location. Just steps from the incredible beach and owner has beach chairs and umbrellas to borrow. If you are looking for a lot of fancy stuff, this isn’t your place, but if you want easy access to the beaches and walking distance to a number of restaurants, it’s hard to beat this location. Plus, it’s centrally located on the island, so short trips can be made anywhere you want to go by car. We toured everything we wanted to see and still had plenty of time to chill on the beach each day.

Right about Charley Young beach. Simple place but clean and everything I needed. The AC is a plus in the middle of the day. Everything was close: beach, shops, surfing. Very nice place.

We had a great ocean view from our upstairs studio. It was very spacious. The very short walk to the beach was perfect. Parking on the street or in the nearby parking lot was easy. The studio had an air conditioner but we left it off and opened the windows for a wonderful breeze.

This is a wonderful space with a full kitchen and view of the ocean. You can hear the waves through the open window. There's a good AC unit for the hotter days. The shower has good hot water and pressure. There is plenty of seating to just relax and enjoy the view and sounds. There is direct access to Charley Young beach park which is just as lovely as you can imagine. But it's also right on the main road to everything you need in Kihei. Walking distance to Kihei Kalama village. I wish I was still there.

The unit was very roomy for a studio apartment and the location was excellent. It is only maybe 30 yards to the beach.

We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including beach chairs and towels for the Charley Young Beach which is a great sandy beach with excellent sunsets seen from the beach or the deck. You can’t beat the location!

About what we expected, was nice looking out the window and seeing the beach and ocean. Slept with the windows open and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Location was perfect, parking was sometimes a challenge as there is no designated spots for this property. I would say the one thing that we weren't happy with was the towels didn't smell very good.

This is our fourth time staying at this property! It’s a great location and the studio is charming and comfortable. We watched whales breach from the patio. The location is on one of the best beaches in Maui. We used this as a home base to explore the island! We also appreciated the beach amenities Derrick and Arlene provided—chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and more!

This is the best location ever!! The view is phenomenal and the access is great. Easy walk to the beach and any place you need to get - restaurants, stores, coffee, activities - everything!! Manager is on the property and very helpful with anything you might need. An absolute gem!!!

We really didn't know the history of the house until we talked to the owner. This is actually is the Charlie Young house. The current owner and his family co-own the house and kept it in the family. This house is right on the beach. This is not a new house. It was built after the war. It has some age, but also charm. Did I mention it was on the beach. Charlie Young beach and the start of Kamaole beach #1. The surf sound is almost to loud if you open all the windows. We watched most sunsets from the lawn of the property. Again this is not a new property or 5 star. But we had no problems and the owners were the kindest people. We also had a private parking space. Thanks Derrick and Arlene
