This property was great! Being right on the beach with the turtles was amazing! We enjoyed days on the beach and sunsets on the patio. It felt pretty private, and the he beach wasnât heavily trafficked. This unit was exactly what we hoped for!
This home was heaven! You had me at turtles but it was so much more. Lovely home, perfect location (near food and the heart of Kihei) the porch and yard were a sanctuary, clean and well appointed. Best rest I have had in years. Thank you for sharing this home.
Adorable cottage beach house that fit our family of six perfectly. The large outdoor grass area was fun for family games as provided by the owner. Great supplies for beach play including towels, toys, chairs and umbrellas. The views are spectacular, location and access and great, and the turtle welcome on our first morning was hesrtwarming. Couldbt have been a better experience and fun time for our four year old grandsons first Maui experience. We all gelt at home and welcome here..including chairs, umbrellas,
The view from this home is what it is all about...Huge Banyan tree, perfectly manicured yard, and a view of the ocean, across the large yard. Nice large lanai to sit and enjoy it all. The croquet set was a fun addition.... The home worked for the 5 of us. It may be better suited for 4 people, as you need to move furniture to drop the murphy bed in the living room each day. (not a complaint, just thought others might want to consider this) The location on the island is perfect. Very easy to get anywhere. We stayed our last 4 days in Kaanapali, and this is by far the most convenient part of the island. Brian was a great host and responded quickly to any concerns. We would recommend this home, and will return, if possible.
We stayed for a week with two of our older sons. Everyone really enjoyed the house, and it was super convenient for groceries, shopping, getting to beaches and activities, etc. We also saw lots of wildlife, including turtles and seals.
Contact with Brian was excellent. Air conditioning was nice. The home was spotless and even smelled freshly cleaned on arrival. The kitchen was well supplied with all we needed. The gas grill was a great amenity. I would recommend using ziploc bags for all your food you have opened. The home is decorated nicely. It's beautiful inside and out. We appreciate the outdoor seating areas and spent a lot of time on the lanai. The yard is meticulously cared for and the landscape is beautiful to include the large banyan tree. The adjoining property was rented to a large family, but we hardly ever saw them. A short walk through the yard led to gorgeous beach area. Occasionally people walk by but for the most part it was your own private beach. The sand is very soft. There is lots of coral coming in so if you plan to go in the water you will definitely want water shoes. We had high surf and wind warnings during our stay but we really thought snorkeling would be good had that not been the case. Let's talk sea turtles. From the reviews, they were mentioned as being on the beach. It was incredible there were over a dozen turtles that came in every night and sunset and left at sunrise. Such a cool experience. Lots of food options nearby. Must have Huli Huli chicken that is nearby. So GOOD! We had a lot of shave ice but our favorite was Ululani's Shave ice that was nearby. The lines are long but so good. Thank you Brian and Mitz for sharing your home.
Seriously, we got home and looked at my husbands computer 'stock background' and it was the view from this place. If you're looking for great view, great beach and a house exactly as described, you've found perfect. We loved the homey feel of the house, the layout was great for my elderly parents and us (middle age). Brian never got annoyed with my questions that he had already answered, was quick to respond and when my father broke 3 ribs 3 weeks before the trip he was willing to work with me on a solution. A great place (the house next door looked great too for bigger groups!).
Wonderful location! Enough room for everyone. Loved seeing the turtles every morning on the beach and turn around and look at the Maui sunrise at the same time with the palms as a backdrop. So gorgeous. Was great to have some essentials we were allowed to use as well like a cooler, beach chairs, noodles, beach towels. Came in handy.
We were looking for a property with a vintage surf cottage feel in a great location and this was a perfect fit. The amenities including beach equipment, games, and kitchen/bath supplies were all well stocked and in good condition. We had a great stay and would definitely return.
We had a wonderful stay at the banyan house., the views were beautiful, house was spotless!
Couldnât have asked for a better spot!
Spectacular sunsets, turtles on the beach every night.
Thank you Brian and Mitzi!
We loved this house and the location was fantastic. Beach area feels like a private beach and the family loved to go watch the turtles come to shore every night. Brian was quick to respond when any questions came up. We would def recommend this place.
We loved everything about this house. Very clean, spacious, relaxing & the location was perfect! We did things all over the island & Kihei was a great central location for it all! Will stay here again!!
We loved our stay. We only wish we had booked it for another week! We are already talking about a return trip. Make sure you go out to the beach either early or late to see the turtles. We had better luck early in the morning. Drive up to the summit of Haleakala. Itâs a surreal experience.
Tranquility at its best; Feels like home when walking in the front door. This home is perfectly equipped with all kitchen/bath amenities. Having beach access off the patio is priceless. Definitely a home to revisit.
I canât say enough good things about this house. Booking was a breeze. Brian was very easy to communicate with for questions and check in process. He even checked in a few times during our stay to see how we were doing. The property is amazing. When I saw the pictures in the listing it was exactly what I was looking for and then when we got there in person it was even better. The house and property are exactly as advertised. The view from the lanai is perfect Hawaii views in my opinion. The house is very clean and everything is very well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet and relaxed (except that one rooster a few early mornings) and being in Kehei is nice for exploring other parts of the island. I canât say enough good things about my experience here it was amazing in every way.
We had a great vacation in Maui and this property in Kihei was a big part of that. We felt like we had our own private beach and never felt too close to neighbors. The great sunsets and sea turtles coming to shore after sunsets were amazing. The high quality grill made it easy to grill dinners and enjoy the outdoor beauty. Brian was extremely responsive to any questions. We would definitely recommend this property.
We could not have asked for a better location. The view from the house is absolutely amazing. Sunsets with Green sea turtles resting around us and the waves gently lapping on shore what more could you ask for. So many restaurants and coffee shops within a 5 to 10 min walk. Brian was very helpful and went beyond checking in with us when we had an issue. I would absolutely return to this Cottage or the house next door with my kids and grandson.
The property is in a picture perfect location and was exactly as described. The rooms, kitchen, and grounds were well appointed. The kitchen and grill offered everything we needed to prepare our nightly meals after enjoying sunsets that would make the most beautiful of postcards jealous.
We enjoyed our daily visits to what essentially amounted to a private stretch of beach that was accessible within less than a 60 second stroll from the back patio.
This was our first visit to Maui and we couldn't have asked for a better property. Every night we were treated to amazing sunsets and numerous sea turtles that would come to spend their evening on the beach.
On one occasion, we were even able to see a whale breach while enjoying lunch.
This property makes me jealous of the people who call Kihei and Maui home. We will certainly be back again soon.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful property with us./
