About this property

Summary:

Villa 3 is ideal for guests seeking privacy, convenience, and authentic island charm with modern comforts.

The Space:

Villa 3 at Villas By The Cove offers the charm of old Hawaiʻi with a modern twist in a newly remodeled, stand-alone villa originally built as a beach bungalow in the 1950s. Designed for comfort and privacy, this single-story retreat feels like a true home away from home, just steps from the ocean.

The villa features air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen with quartz countertops, a comfortable king bed, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Thoughtful touches throughout the space ensure a relaxed and convenient stay. Thoughtfully designed like a second home, Villa 3 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.

Guests can grab the beach gear for a day on the sand, then return to cool off in the ocean-view pool or enjoy a BBQ in the lush tropical garden surrounded by mango and palm trees.

Guest Access:

Guests have exclusive use of Villa 3, including the private bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area, and covered lanai.

Guests can enjoy the shared swimming pool, two communal gas BBQ grills, and a complimentary washer and dryer are located on the property.

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.

Getting Around:

For the active and adventurous traveler, our prime location offers easy access to sun bathing, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, diving, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and whale watching. Also a golfers' paradise with nearby world class golf clubs less than 10 minutes away in Wailea and Makena. Restaurants, shops, nightlife, cafes, farmer’s markets, and Kalama Park are within a 5-10 minute walk from Villas By The Cove.

Other Things to Note:

Guests have access to our complimentary private Concierge service for assistance with arranging group activities such as luau's, whale watching, and snorkel boat tours, private chefs/caterers, pre-arrival grocery service, in-residence spa services, and group transportation.

Interaction with Guests:

The Property Manager is available by phone and frequents the property daily. We're a locally owned and family-operated business, and we’re proud to call Maui our home. Because we live right here on the island, we’re able to offer a level of care and hospitality that truly sets your stay apart.

The villas are super quaint with a bungalow feel and well takin care of. We loved sitting out by the pool and talking to the other guests. The privacy of the fenced in and gated property was really nice and felt secure. Id definitely recommend staying here and I look forward to our next trip there.

Great property, excellent and clean place with nice amenities. The only problem is the public park next door with load music late into the night but I would still come back.

Pros: great central neighborhood next to everything, amazing to have a unit with a kitchen, super helpful gated parking area, beach essentials included in the rental, units are generally nice and clean, price/value ratio is excellent, truly excellent management communication and vibe, laundry on site Cons: some of the components of the units are cheap or unfinished, decent amount of road noise (earplugs worked), beds are high quality but have some significant depressions from use, families spend all day at the pool so privacy is highly dependent on the villa you get. Overall thought this place was good value and I especially appreciated the quality and speed of management communication. I would stay here in the future - would just strategically choose the villa with the best location. Thank you!

We stayed ten nights in Villa 3 and it was wonderful! The villa is very comfortable and the whole property is beautiful. As others have noted, it can get a bit noisy given the proximity to busy South Kihei road, but it wasn't terrible. It can be a bit difficult getting in and out of Iliili road from and to South Kihei. The cove park across the street was wonderful for sunsets and watching surfers, paddleboarders, kayakers, etc. And Charley Young beach down the street was great for swimming and snorkeling (fish, turtles, etc). There were some things missing from the kitchen (e.g. scissors, sink stopper, etc) but we just grabbed these from Safeway. The communal areas were great. We enjoyed the small pool and laying out around the pool. The pavilion is wonderful for hanging out in the shade or chilling with an adult beverage in the evening. The music which played all the time was nice, but the playlist was a little limited ( a lot of repeats). The sunsets were great from the pavilion and we could watch the whales while standing on the pool deck. For most of our stay the only others staying were adults. However, in the latter part of our stay families with small kids arrived bringing a lot of noise to the small common area, but that can happen anywhere. The washer/dryer were great. And the Rubbermaid container full of snorkeling gear was awesome. The villas are a really nice alternatives to the all of the condo-only options available on Maui. We will be back!!!

We travelled all over Maui and decided that if/when we returned we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The place is perfectly located, perfectly decorated, and so well thought out. It had everything we needed for the beach, all we needed for cooking, Bluetooth radio, free yoga, and even free paddle boards and surfboards. We loved the community grill, the shower to rinse off after a day in the water, the outdoor seating area, gated parking, and because it is a smaller property, it felt like the pool was ours. Most places do not sit directly on the beach and if they do, there is grass or rocks out front, not the traditional beach I am used to on the East Coast. So I was skeptical about being “across the street” from the water. But the street is basically an alley, and is just steps from the PERFECT spot to paddle board, surf, and fish. Plus, if you want to lay on the beach, you have two great options within a block. One smaller beach and Charley Young beach which is expansive and beautiful. We have stayed at the Four Seasons and many other fine resorts, and this little gem sits right up there with them. We do not have anything but praise for this charming, well-outfitted and fresh surfer’s paradise. Kudos to the owners and managers.
