Simply amazing: peaceful, beautiful inside and out, well-equipped kitchen, fantastic location - snorkeling from the front yard, gorgeous long sandy beach walking distance to the south, kayak rental/launching point walking distance to the north, multiple other Wailea beaches a short drive. Very attentive owner on the island. A unique rental in all the best ways.

I’ve never slept so close to the ocean before. Unbelievably private on the ocean. You’re staying on “turtle town” where the tours come snorkeling to look for the green turtle. It’s relatively close to the fancy resorts should you desire a mai tai at the Four Seasons.

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate twenty-five years of marriage. No kids. No dog. No work meetings. We sat for hours on the edge of the ocean--literally, the perfectly manicured lawn abuts the short lava rock sea wall. The oceanfront seating area is private and distanced. We could and did sing along with our music without fear of disturbing the neighbors. The small bay is active during the morning hours with snorkel tours, which isn't surprising considering we saw sea turtles from the grass yard nearly every day (they like to play in the surf in front of the house to the north). The tours are no annoyance and provide something else to watch while you enjoy the sun and the ocean.
We enjoyed the cottage and detached master suite. Both were clean and maintained. The kitchen is well-appointed--better than most VRBO I've rented. Both have incredible ocean views. Both have A/C units but it's worth noting that the one in the cottage struggled to keep a pleasant temperature during the warmer parts of the day. The suite, however, was as cool as we wanted when we needed a retreat from the sun.
Finally, the owner was attentive, though we needed little because everything was well-prepared. And I don't know if this is everyone's preference or just mine, but I really liked that the owner did not check in on us or bug us with questions. There if needed, invisible if not--perfect.
This is a special place. A beautiful cottage on the water in Maui that's worth the price. Thanks!

What an amazing place to stay! Direct access to the ocean, with 2 beaches within walking distance. The house was clean and had all the beach items needed to have fun. I highly recommend this fantastic property!

Easy check in and Wendy was very responsive and helpful. Waking up to that view and the sound of the ocean is just amazing. Can’t wait I til we’re back for another visit!

You simply cannot find a better location than this house. Beautiful setting on the water and very quiet. I was still recovering from back surgery and it was very easy to maneuver the property. Wendi was very responsive. I highly recommend this lovely zen property

Location, location, location. You are out on a point so all the other houses are behind you and you hardly notice them. You can walk to a sandy beach. A turtle might come visit you on the rocks out front. Night nudity will most likely go unnoticed. They have thought of everything you might need and placed it where you think it might be. The place has a great vibe. I have enjoyed all the envy of my friends. Hope to go again very soon.

Perfect getaway for those who want to experience Maui's beauty and relaxation in a private space. The house is small (with some unexpected steps that take some getting used to), but it is clean and well stocked with a private lawn right on the water. No more navigating crowds to find a square on the beach -- we enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon lounging outside at the water's edge in peace and relative privacy. Tours of snorkelers and kayaks come every day (the cove is at Turtle Town) but even that was not disturbing. The owner was very helpful and the information/directions clear and easy to follow. This cottage is now our "go to" place whenever we return. Thanks Wendy!
