"Thank you for opening this home to guests. We greatly enjoyed our stay here. We were very appreciate of our proximity to the ocean. We just enjoyed listening to the waves and birds. Seeing turtles out front was delightful. We were very fortunate to have the best sunset our last evening here which just made it that much more special. To more sunsets and to all those who stay here.... Cheers!" V Family

"This is the third year in a row that my sister-in-law and I have stayed in your quintessential tropical paradise. Each year we appreciate the ability/opportunity to be your guests more. Thank you for providing/sharing this luxurious yet simple island paradise. My husband and I are frequent visitors to Maui, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else, as this is "Hawaii". We cannot wait to come back. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo T Family

"Wow! Turtles, Whales, a beautiful bungalow, and PARADISE. I`m dizzy. Who could ask for anything else? I mean, an outdoor shower, Jacuzzi, a beautiful view, and a huge play area. Now that is what I call paradise. We enjoyed this beautiful house for 8 days and never got tired of it. After we finished one thing we were off to the next! We'll be back!"

"Just a beautiful spot. Mai Tais on the lawn each evening. Watching the turtles bob up and down with whales breaching behind them. Ridiculous!! Sandy beach just down the path is worth spending a few afternoons relaxing. You'd be hard pressed not to enjoy this place."

"We are back from Maui and missing it already. I was just watching some video shot at the Bungalow. The Wailea Sunset Bungalow was just a joy. I have never stayed in a rental property that was so fully stocked with stuff. It is luxurious there and very comfortable. We had some nice dinners at the Bungalow. Well, we are super spoiled now and will have to come back for more Maui fun! Thanks again and we hope to book the Bungalow in the future. Thanks for all you do to make your renters comfortable."

The Wailea Sunset Bungalow is a little piece of heaven on earth. The Wailea Sunset Bungalow is a vintage cottage with charming nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of Hawai`i of yester-year. Choose the Wailea Sunset Bungalow and experience seaside living as it was before the introduction of mega-mansions to our tropical island paradise.

- Neighboring properties have swimming pools that are built into the ground without a fence or cover. Use of the neighboring pools and hot tubs is not allowed. The properties in this area share one large common lawn. It is imperative that guests of Wailea Sunset Bungalow self-monitor any and all outdoor activity, particularly for young children. Please keep young children from straying off the property and please keep anyone who does not swim away from the neighboring pools and hot tubs.
- Another private home known as the Wailea Sunset Estate is immediately adjacent to the Wailea Sunset Bungalow. The two dwellings are in close proximity to one another and we cannot say they are exclusively private from each other. A modest amount of landscaping will provide some fairly good separation. Guests of the Bungalow do not have use of the pool or spa at the adjacent Wailea Sunset Estate property. They are separate properties rented to separate guests.
- Although recently refurbished this is not new construction. This is a vintage cottage. We make every effort to provide comfortable furniture, abundant electronics, and useful amenities within the setting of an original 1960 era beach cottage.
- On-site maintenance for interior plant care is performed weekly.
- Please expect ambient audible living noises. From time to time a neighbor may host a party or the voices of children playing or some music may be audible from a nearby residence.
- This home is located in a quiet residential area. Quiet hours are from 9pm to 8am.
- The grass lawns surrounding the property are trimmed and mowed with a motorized machine once each week. The mower may be audible.
- The shoreline in front of the property is pebbly. It may be most comfortable to use foot protection when entering the water. Ocean access may not always be safe due to varied ocean conditions.
- Over towards the Polo Beach area off-shore undertows may occur.. Always swim with a buddy and never turn your back to the ocean. Guests agree to use caution and common sense and to only enter the ocean when the conditions are calm. Guests participation in any sports or activities is their own risk.

Celebration in Paradise
Wow! I wish I could give 10 stars for the location and comfort of the property - fabulous home. We celebrated our 35th anniversary in a place that was truly paradise and incredibly relaxing. The home is well equipped with everything you would need. Elegant, yet inviting. The experience and memories were worth every dollar (not to mention the attention to detail from the staff and concierge team). Thank you for a fabulous experience.

Wonderful little bungalow on the beach
The house stocked everything we needed and exceeded my expectations (i.e. laundry detergent & beach blankets/chairs/umbrella)! The location was picturesque and exactly what we were looking for. The beach was rocky but so much better than anticipated since the tides moved the pebbles on and off the sand throughout our stay. My kids really enjoyed playing in the backyard. It will always be one of our fondest family vacations.

Serene and Relaxing!
My husband and I have been to Maui 10 times. We have always stayed at the top ranked hotels Wailea area. This time we opted for this darling bungalow. Full disclosure... I was suspicious that perhaps the photos were enhanced because they looked so perfect. Boy was I wrong!!! This place is every bit as gorgeous as you see in the photos and then some! We literally didn’t want to leave this little piece of heaven for the views alone! My other major concern prior to arrival were the beds (I had back surgery 10 weeks prior to arrival). The bed was so incredibly comfortable, I didn’t want to get up in the mornings, but then I remembered that view! There is nothing as serene as sitting on the back deck, staring at the view and listening to the birds. Another bonus was the property management. They were so incredibly kind and accommodating. It really was the best service we’ve received in all of our travels. I truly believe my husband and I have never been as relaxed as we were this trip. I think after 10 times in Maui and many times elsewhere, this was our first real “vacation”.

Absolutely Amazing!
The sunset estate and bungalow is a stunning set of properties and worked perfectly for our family vacation (10 adults, 7 children). As the name suggests, you are treated to beautiful sunsets each evening that can be enjoyed on a huge patio complete with a pool. Being on the oceanfront, we were even lucky enough to have a couple sea turtles visit the beach in front of the house. The property managers were extremely helpful leading up to the trip and during our stay (offered to plan activities, help with rentals, etc.). The property managers also recommended a private chef (they provided a list; we selected Chef John) who prepared a fantastic surf & turf dinner for our group. We would highly recommend this property!

Upscale hotel living in a private home...
What an amazing place to spend time in your own private paradise! The house is decorated beautifully and the pictures are almost accurate - it's actually cuter and cozier than it looks in the photos. The first day we were very alarmed as large pods were being "thrown" at the house. I decided that the house was infested with invisible monkeys. After a bit of research, we learned the invisible monkeys were actually a monkeypod tree. You'll see large pods littering the deck - break one open and smell it. It's a woodsy smell of mesquite and anise. We made a point to watch every sunset at the house. Even though there are houses on either side, it feels very private. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and there's fantastic snorkeling right in front of the house (assuming the water is clear). We enjoyed the house so much that we stayed in far more than we planned. If you're looking for a private, secluded ocean paradise, look no further. I would absolutely stay here again.

Wailea Sunset Bungalow
My husband and I spent more than a week at WSB with our teenage daughter and her friend. While there is only one bath, there are three words to describe this place: location, location, location! Waterfront, in Wailea, but really a world away as it is so private. Perfectly equipped, attractively decorated, we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing
My wife and I stayed in the Bungalow for 5 days, and the place is amazing. The pictures are spot on. It is really very private, and the back yard is very large. The cottage is quaint, and in great condition. It is also well provisioned with everything needed, except groceries. It only has one bath, so I would not recommend it to a larger group, 4 people is probably max. The place is very appropriately named as the sunsets were fantastic. We took the lawn chairs right down to the water’s edge every night, and there was a small turtle swimming around the rocks every morning for coffee. When we were there, the two homes on either side were unoccupied, so it was absolutely quiet and practically private other than a few beach combers, or a passing kayak.

AWESOME!!!!!
My husband and I just spent 6 nights at the cottage and it was magical. The pictures are very accurate, the lawn is huge and the view is spectacular. We felt like we were all alone. At night we'd leave the windows open and the breeze came through the house beautifully- all you could hear was birds and waves. No traffic, garbage trucks, or people. The little cottage is so well equipped, they've thought of everything!!! As an example, there are 3 coffee makers so you have one that suits you! Its really amazing how well this place has been maintained. It is really worth the money. The beach in front of the cottage is rough with lava rocks everywhere and it is difficult to entry the water- but not impossible. About 50 yards to the right is beautiful Polo Beach. You can walk on the rocks or on the road- it's about a 2-3 min walk. On Polo beach you can swim and even rent chairs, kayaks, surf boards, etc. on the beach from the Kea Lani. You can also enter the Wailea Beach Walk at this point- which is a great morning stroll. We walked to the Kea Lani one night (3 mins tops) to pick up a pizza and bring it back to the beach house.....If you have a big group the adjacent house is also for rent from TVV and is BEAUTIFUL, new, and has a pool.
