Oceanfront Vacation Rental in Central Kihei Apt. #1

Prime Location:
Located in the heart of Kihei at the quiet northern end of beautiful Halama Street, this family-owned and operated vacation rental offers the perfect balance of convenience and relaxation. Tucked away from the large resorts and busy tourist areas, guests can enjoy a peaceful, local-style setting while still being centrally located. Within minutes, you’ll find banks, grocery stores, shops, restaurants, medical clinics, the post office, and many other everyday conveniences.

Apartment Description:
This oceanfront apartment features two bedrooms and one bathroom, offering a comfortable and relaxing beachfront getaway. The apartment includes a full kitchen, bathroom, and a living room with a sofa sleeper pullout for additional sleeping accommodations.

Located on the lower level, the apartment has its own private entrance and a covered porch equipped with a gas grill, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. After enjoying Maui’s beautiful sunsets just steps from the ocean, unwind with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning before falling asleep to the soothing sounds of nearby waves.

Outdoor Amenities:
Guests who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate the beach chairs positioned for beautiful sunset views, along with lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing and relaxation. The property also features a volleyball net and several picnic tables for outdoor dining and recreation.

Stretching approximately 75 feet from the building to the shoreline, the spacious, well-maintained lawn is lined with palm trees and offers plenty of room to unwind and enjoy the oceanfront setting. The beach itself is peaceful, quiet, and highly private, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing Maui getaway.

Beach & Activities:
The nearby shoreline is an ideal spot for watching Hawaiian sea turtles as they come ashore to rest on the sand. The area also offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, wind and kite surfing, pole fishing, shell collecting, and more. During whale season, guests may even catch glimpses of whales passing offshore.

Ocean and beach equipment can be rented from the many nearby shops in town. While we do not provide beach gear, guests do have access to coolers, lawn chairs, BBQ facilities, and beach towels for added convenience during their stay.

Each accommodation is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, convenience, and a relaxing island atmosphere, making the property ideal for families, couples, and groups seeking a memorable Maui getaway.

The unit was as represented, and you can't beat the proximity to the beach! We loved that we could walk out the back and have this great big yard to play in, and then straight out to the beach. There is a lot of freedom with having no road between the unit and the beach. It was great to have chairs and other ocean related items available so we didn't have to buy or rent anything. Mike was a welcoming host and the space was great.

This place was a lovely piece of heaven. The back yard was a large, beautifully manicured lawn that ended in a large, quiet beach. It was a wonderful experience to sit on the beach and watch the sunset. The house is supplied with numerous lawn chairs and everything else you need to enjoy the water and the outdoors (for children and adults). We had an opportunity to speak with Michael, the owner, and he is very welcoming and responsive and really cares about every one of his visitors (including his first from Chicago!), taking care to make their stay memorable. He also has great advice about places to go and things to do. The property's location allowed for easy access to various excursions, including snorkeling, whale watching, and turtle sightings. It is also close to numerous supermarkets and restaurants (traditional and truck-based). I highly recommend it.
This is the back yard! The only thing better is going on down to the clean, beautiful beach to continue your relaxation.

Family trip to Maui-3 adult children

Property was perfect for our family! Unit 1 had two bedrooms and a fold-out couch in the living room. Host Michael was wonderful to chat with. Lots of history in the area and good recommendations for things to do. Wonderful to walk out the back door across a green lawn and be right on the beach. Saw turtles as well as some whales in the distance. Adult kids spent time in the water. Used it as a homebase for seeing all of Maui, but certainly could have spent a lot of time here relaxing and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

Amazing!

This house is everything and MORE! We had an amazing time and Mike was a pure pleasure to work with. The house is equipped with everything you need as well as most things you could want! There are chairs, umbrellas, water shoes, flippers, snorkels, sand toys, and boogie boards! You can show up with a bathing suit and be ready to hit the beach. The yard was wonderful! A volleyball net, bocce balls, and comfortable chairs make for a truly enjoyable day. When you’re done in the grass you can run straight to the beach. We had no less than 3 green sea turtles swimming in the surf with us, every day, right off the beach. And the whale shows were incredible. Sunsets, whales and turtles made our vacation top notch. And to top it all off, you are close to everything in Kihei! Thanks Mike.

Beautiful beach home

My wife, 3-year-old and I stayed in the bottom floor two-bedroom unit. The property is beautiful, with a long grass lawn that leads to a low-traffic beach. We happened to be the only unit occupied during our stay so it felt very private. There is more than enough room for everyone even if the other 2 units were booked. The location is excellent and we will likely book out the entire house for a larger family stay next time we visit Maui. The owner was extremely friendly.

Highly recommended

This was one of our best VRBO experiences. The Owner was very helpful and responsive. The house was set up with all the beach equipment: chairs, boogie boards, snorkel/goggles, towels. The location is very close to restaurants and grocery. Everything was clean and in good working order. This particular rental is a portion of a larger house, so you share the incredible backyard with the other units. We felt like the units are separated well with no sound issues. Each unit has it's own separated outdoor patio area that face directly out to the backyard and beach. We would highly recommend this rental!
