About this property

Special 1/12-3/9/25! Beachfront, 1 BR/1BA apartment. Steps away from the ocean!

Located in central Kihei, nestled in on the northern end of beautiful Halama Street. Family-owned and operated legal short-term rental. This ocean front, 1 bedroom 1 bath unit, has a full kitchen and bathroom. Cozy, quiet, great for couples and small families. There is a sofa sleeper pullout in the living room that overlooks the ocean from a small deck/lanai. There is a dining table inside as well as an outdoor table for two. A larger picnic table and a gas grill is available for use in the back yard, along with beach chairs to watch the sunsets and lounge chairs for sun tanning or just relaxing. The beach is about 300 feet from the building with a large yard of green grass and palm trees leading to the seemingly private beach. Enjoy the amazing sea turtles that crawl up and rest on the sandy beach with good snorkeling, kayaking, SUP, wind and kite sailing, pole fishing, shelling and more. Don't forget to keep an eye for the passing whales. Ocean equipment is available at the numerous rental shops in town. Centrally located near banks, medical clinics, supermarket, shops, restaurants and more. Tucked away from the big resorts and high tourist filled areas, you can enjoy your own little piece of paradise. This is Unit #4 - 1 BR/1BA (upstairs). We also have a more updated 1BA/1BA first floor unit (VRBO #4294819) @ a discounted price for Dec. 2024. It's a new listing, so there are no reviews for that unit; but its part of the same apartment building and the exact floor plan, except its a downstairs unit. Check it out, its really nice and cozy. ALL our units are owned and run by our family. Stairs are necessary to access the apartment building (all units including those on the bottom floor), cottage, backyard and beach area.

Incredible Stay on Maui
We absolutely loved our stay here. Mike was the best host and made sure we had everything we needed! He had great local recommendations and truly went above and beyond to make our stay in Maui memorable. The apartment was very clean and had the most incredible view! The AC in both the living area and close to the bed worked wonderfully.Our favorite part was the secluded beach directly out front of the property. Though it wasn’t a private beach, it very much felt that way, as we had it mostly to ourselves! We were not ready to leave and hope to return soon! Mahalo, Mike, for an incredible experience.

Almost perfect
Location is 2nd to none. Right in front of beach and quiet neighbors. Beach is very calm and you get to see sea turtle and even whale passing by if you are lucky.Now, as a landlord myself, I would definitely upgrade furniture and fix the area where termite was affected.Nit the turn off of the property but would be good to have are; spoons, shampoo, and other condiments (salt/pepper/cooking oil/etc.). I know Michael would have given condiments if asked but we already bought them before I got to talk to him. We arrived late and didn't want to bother at late hours.This brings next topic. He is mich better with call then text. If you need his attention right away, call instead text.Michael, I also suggest you to make a pdf file for all your trip suggestions and email to future renters instead of sending same text messages to renters.He is very helpful and wants you to enjoy your stay. Just needs some updates and better methods.

The greatest view in Hawai'i
This is an truly spectacular location. Book this place if only for the incredible view you get and the nightly magical sunsets you get to experience. It is also very well located, within walking distance of the Kihei center. The apartment itself is very comfortable and clean. Will stay here again next time we are in town.

Quiet and beautiful
The unit is at the dead end of a quiet residential street, right on the ocean. Although everything you need is nearby, the unit feels secluded from the busyness of the area. Plenty of space in the 1 bedroom unit with a full kitchen and living area. The deep yard leads to the beach, which you pretty much have to yourself. It was a very tranquil setting, which we hope to someday come back to. Thank you Michael for everything!

Quick Sightseeing Around Maui
Apartment had so many perks: excellent location right off the beach, super clean, great air conditioning, quiet, lots of equipment available for beach activities, and a top tier host. Mike greeted us when we arrived and was excited to hear about or interests. We were only staying 4 days and it was our first time in Maui. Mike gave so many great recommendations for day-trip activities such as hikes, sightseeing, and restaurants. He also alerted us to characteristics of the beach nearby, such as being sure to watch for turtles and whales. We had a wonderful time thanks to Mike covering everything we needed.

Can’t wait to go back!
We had an absolutely lovely stay, and Mike went above and beyond to give us great recommendations and make us feel welcome. We mostly used it as a home base for adventuring (very convenient!), but kind of wish we would have taken more advantage of the beautiful property - can’t beat the outdoor area going right out to the beach. Recommend, and hope to return.
