The property is breathtaking and absolutely beautiful!! We loved the layout of the home, with rooms on both sides of the house. When traveling with two sets of adults, this setup made it feel spacious and private, so we never felt crowded.The home was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking, including a BBQ, which made mealtimes easy and enjoyable. The location couldn’t have been better. A quick one-minute walk to the beach is perfect for families with small kids. We also appreciated that the home provided sand toys, chairs, and umbrellas, making beach days effortless.My only wish is that there were a few extra accommodations for families traveling with non-walking babies. Providing a walker, high chair, or playpen tucked away for guests to use would be helpful. I ended up renting these items from a local company, so it worked out, but it’s something to consider for future guests.Overall, we would definitely visit again, it truly felt like a home away from home!
Fantastic property with amazingly good communication at all times. Convenient to everything needed in Kihei but far enough from the road that unless you head into town it feels like an isolated oasis. Would definitely recommend and return given the opportunity. To top it all off, turtles spotted every day amongst the coral and rocks just to the right of the property!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Indo Lotus House. The location is beautiful and well oriented to the area with restaurants and shops. Easy beach access and plenty of space. The home has unique decor and style that feels tropical and relaxing.
What a perfect home for our family. We all loved walking out the back door to the beach. It is close to great food and the kitchen is well set up for making meals for us. Hope to return again next year!

The expansiveness of the property makes this one a rare gem! The views of the water, the sounds of the sea and the birds, the breezy winds in the palms enhance to the experience of staying on the beach. Morning coffee is a treat watching the day emerge in resplendent colors. The house enables everyone space to enjoy time together as well as find quiet for rest. Indo Lotus is conveniently located within walking distance of coffee spots, food trucks, and local shops. The central island location is ideal for day trips to all parts of the island. Indo Lotus is a beach house dream.
Is it a little more than what you normally have spent? Probably. But, is it really worth it? 100X yes!
This place was everything we ever wanted for our oh so few family vacation.
With our kids spread all over the country, it was our one chance to bribe everyone to join us at this beautiful home.
The home was very spread out with master on one side (a small adjacent room we did not use). Kids stayed in the two bedrooms on the other end of the house. Large living room. Kitchen was a bit narrow, but had a great view to the ocean while cooking. Appliances were new (dishwasher installed during our stay). Dishware, washclothes, towels (including beach towels) all provided.
Honestly, we spent almost our entire time out on the main lanai. Morning coffee and late night card games were the perfect activities on this part of the house with the best views.
The beach was a short walk down a paved path. Most of the time the beach was fairly unpopulated (maybe 20 people). But, at sunset, our part of the beach became very populated. Why? Because the sunsets are not to be missed. We made our Christmas card pictures (and so many others) on the rocky formation that juts into the ocean just past the house. Gorgeous.
Kihei has a few shops for souvenirs, but overall a relatively quiet place. The closest grocery store is just ok. There is a Safeway about 3-4 miles away that is better.
Lastly, the communication with the staff was outstanding. They responded to text, calls and emails rapidly.
Everything you need is located on this property. The house is well stocked and clean. The host was very responsive and prompt when asked for help or recommendations. The bedrooms, patios, and living rooms had comfortable furniture and were spacious. The kitchen had plenty of dishware and pots/pans for cooking at home.
There is a public beach path just past the backyard where you walk a minute to get onto the beach and into the water. You will see people coming and going along this path, so the house is not completely secluded. The host has chairs and sand toys for your use on the beach. The ocean was also relatively calm while we were visiting.
Restraurants and a food truck park are about a ten minute walk from the house and food shopping is less then 10 minutes drive away.
This place was a great getaway and a wonderful place for a home base to explore the entire island or just sunbath and enjoy the ocean.
The views and being on the beach made this worth every penny! The house has old charm with updates. It is comfortable and close to everything we planned. It made for a wonderful vacation!
The house is nice, comfortable and quiet despite being right off S kihei road and right on the beach… the location is TO DIE FOR!
The property was a perfect location for beach access (just a few steps), shops and restaurants nearby. The large lawn was perfect for our grandchildren to run around. The outdoor seating was key for us! We never ate inside! Property management was very responsive and helping with anything we needed. Views were spectacular. We never wanted to leave before sunset! Worth every penny!
