About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Now with optional car add-on

Car is a 2022 Tucson compact SUV, Special rate of $30 a day for cottage guests. After you book the cottage, Jordan's email will be shown and you can contact him for the details. You'll pick up the car in the parking across from baggage claim. No lines or paperwork there.

No cleaning fees. VRBO will add their fees and the required taxes. Totally private so no face-to-face contact needed. Contactless entry.
Coded gate. No passing others in hallways, lobbies and elevators. Enjoy peace, quiet & privacy and a big deck and yard.

Escape the traffic and the touristy areas yet be right on the ocean watching sunrises and moon rises over the ocean, surfers, whales, windsurfers and kite surfers. Our location is central to all the places you will want to go and we are at your service to share our knowledge and love of Maui.

The Space
Our cottage was built in 2012 and we welcomed our first guests in 2013. It has all appliances , comfy Serta bed, all-cotton bedding, pillows, towels, etc. Sliding mirrored doors separate the bedroom from main room. The cottage sits across from the beach below our upscale neighborhood and your only neighbor is a doctor on one side and us up the hill behind in the home we bought in 1999. 420 friendly.

Air-conditioning, washer and dryer, Netflix and YouTubeTV! And we have an AED in the main house, a Christmas gift from our son!

Cottage is stocked with coffee, tea and condiments, fruits and bagels or pastries and butter in the freezer to get you started on breakfast. Snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, etc. in a storage bin on your deck and we can give you tips on good things to do and things to avoid.

Separate bedroom and bathroom has 2 doors so there is privacy if one person wants to sleep and the other stay up or get up. Plenty of room for two or for a family with a child who can sleep in a crib (available to rent from No Ka Oi Baby Rentals) or on the couch.

The area we are in is called 'Central Maui' because you can easily drive to everywhere else. Yet our particular location feels more like country with open beach and ocean in front and to the north. Be aware that there is no commercial business within walking distance but the beach and a golf course are there for pleasure walking!

Guest Access
Anywhere on the property. It is yours for the duration of your stay. My husband and son surf and with permission, cut through the yard to access the surf across the street.

Interaction with Guests

At the discretion of our guests. Some have become best friends; some we've never met.

The Neighborhood

Our neighborhood is upscale, our neighbors really friendly owners. The beach is right across the road in front of the cottage and when the surf is big, it's great to watch the surfers there. When there's no surf, the beach is empty. We love it both ways! It's not a swimming beach but those are a short drive away and by staying here, one avoids the touristy, hot, dusty surroundings of the beach cities

Getting around

We have a bus system and Jordan and I can drop guests off on our way places but a car really is recommended as only tour buses go up into the valleys and up to the top of Haleakala.

Other Things to Note

We stayed in a B & B years ago in Switzerland and the women treated us like family and it had such a positive impact on us that we try to do the same and make our guests feel at home. On the other hand, you may want to just do your own thing and that's perfectly fine, too.
