About this property

Villas By The Cove, Plantation House · Dreamy Indoor-Outdoor Living Opposite a Sandy Beach

Welcome to a Cutting Edge Maui Beach Home that blends its Original 1940's Plantation Style Charm with Refined Contemporary Design and custom finishes. Located just steps away from sandy beaches on the desirable oceanfront Ili'ili Road, this romantic property mixes art, a variety of local woods, glass and natural sunlight, that quite simply, just make you feel good.

The Ili'ili Plantation House is a modern Hawaiian Beach House, inspired by the tropical Maui landscape and historic surf culture. Personifying Kihei's laid back beach-town community, the complete redesign of the original 1940s-era house has transformed the Plantation House into a contemporary boutique vacation rental that gives guests an unparalleled visit to Maui.

Surrounded by lush, manicured landscaping, plumeria trees and fruit trees, each room has a framed garden view. Open sets of French doors and venture out into the private backyard or relax and barbecue on the dining lanai. Inside, the high-vaulted ceilings and original Plantation style windows create sun-filled spaces. This home is the epitome of indoor/outdoor living with three spacious lanais offering multiple lounging areas.

The fully equipped kitchen features brand new full-size stainless steel appliances. A large kitchen island counter top and high stools are meant for casual dining. The open floor plan make social gatherings more relaxed and homely. A custom made dining table made from local Monkeypod wood seats six. All three ensuite bedrooms feature sliding barn doors separating bedrooms from the spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers. The master bedroom offers double French doors that open to the back lanai with two rocking chairs.

The home offers comfortable accommodations for up to six guests. The master bedroom has a single king bed that can also be reconfigured into double twin beds upon request. Two more ensuite bedrooms each have a queen bed. The furniture, fabrics and lighting fixtures lend to the authentic feel of a modernized Plantation House with its original 1950's Hawaiian charm.

Amenities include central air conditioning, hi-speed Wi-Fi, barbecue grill, shared outdoor pool, initial Green Tea travel size shampoo, conditioner and soap in each bathroom, beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, a cooler and a beach umbrella.

The Ili'ili Plantation House's prime location is conveniently tucked across the street from the beach, the popular surf spot known as the Cove, and just steps from Charley Young Beach.The gated property is within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, shopping plazas, nightlife, farmer's market and Kalama Park's running paths, tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, outdoor rolling skating rink, basket ball courts, skate park and jumbo playground.

Ideal for the active and adventurous traveler, the Ili'ili Plantation House is steps away from Charley Young Beach- a white sandy beach ideal for sun bathing, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, diving, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and whale watching.

Great House
The house and property were great! The only drawback is the busy the very busy parking lot across the street that noisy groups of people would hang out at until late at night. The pros definitely outweigh the con.

Great experience and a nice little house right by the beach!
We had a great experience at this property. The property was clean and very comfortable. We had a great time! The only thing I would say, if I absolutely had to is stocking up on shower gels. The bottles were tiny and not enough for the 4 day stay. Having said that, would absolutely go back again stay here again! We enjoyed the common pool area which is so beautiful!

Paradise at the Cove
We had an amazing stay at Villas by the Cove. We were two couples plus one. The property and plantation house are spectacular. The place is just across the street from the cove where all the Kehei surfing is at. 5 min walk down the street to Charley Young beach for great walks, swimming and sunsets. Had multiple turtles swim by us. A short 5 min walk the other way to restaurants, bars, happy hours! The plantation house is well equipped and very comfortable. We sat out in the mornings with a coffee and watched the birds in the tropical gardens around the house. The communal pool is so beautiful and we spent many hours hanging out here. Can’t wait to return! Mahalo!

Great stay! Beautiful property!
We spent a long weekend at the Plantation House, it was three couples. We very much enjoyed the property, it had everything we needed and we especially loved the porches with comfy rocking chairs - a great place to have coffee or read. The property itself was beautifully done and comfortable. It was also nice having access to the beautiful pool on property and it was walkable to the beach. It was a great place for a long weekend.

Plantation House
We had an amazing time staying here. It was so comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our ten day stay. We loved using the pool and enjoyed relaxing in the comfortable patio area. A short walk to beautiful beaches to watch the sunset and whales breaching was the highlight of most evenings.

A gem
The perfect place to stay in Maui - quiet and serene, but also walkable to restaurants and beaches. The bedrooms are cosy and well appointed, each with its own bathroom. We appreciated the open kitchen, living and dining area - great for cooking together and hanging out.

Relaxing, upscale, safe
My friends and I wanted to enjoy Maui for a few days.- to hang out in a space that felt safe and within walking distance to the beach, sunsets and good food. Having 3 rooms and 3.5 bathrooms was so helpful. The rental property owner was very kind and helped me when I lost something in the room after leaving. My friends and I are looking forward to staying again in the future.

We had the best time. Absolutely blown away by the property & how beautiful it was. The house was stunning and had all essentials. Would go back in a heartbeat!! The house also felt safe with a gate that you only have access to the code.

Perfect location, awesome property made for an incredible vacation
Writing this from the lana’i of the plantation house as the breezes passes through. Six of us stayed here and we all loved it. The location is amazing for beaches, shops, restaurants which are all within walking distance. The property is extremely well maintained with a great pool area. The communication between us and management was quick and efficient from the moment we booked to throughout our entire stay (10 nights). Highly recommend this place … would definitely stay here again !!!

A Perfect Hawaii Home
The property is lovely and well maintained. The Plantation house is very comfortable. Our family truly enjoyed our stay here. We loved the 3 different porches: front veranda for morning coffee, the dining patio for meals al freso, and the small back porch for quiet time. The house had everything we needed, from beach towels and boogie boards to a big cooking pot for making pasta. The pool area and lanai was also a nice spot to hang out. The only negative was that we had to leave!

The Plantation House did not disappoint!
The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The property manager, Shahaf was wonderful host and making sure we had everything we needed! He gave a tour of the property & showed us a secret beach access. The beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards provided were very much appreciated & got a lot of use. I would recommend this property, and look forward to returning to check out 1 of the smaller villas too!
