Sweeping, unobstructed ocean views from the living room and oversized lanai, and swaying coconut palms rocked by gentle trade winds set the relaxed, tropical tone at this dream beachfront hideaway, located at the epicenter of South Maui's sun-drenched beach culture. Step back in time to a taste of Old Hawaii as stroll a natural pathway to the sandy beach directly in front of the property, which is a frequent rest-stop for our algae-eating sea turtle friends.
Enjoy spectacular sunset views and savor your private island feast or refreshments on the shaded lanai, the ultimate morning coffee venue – or relax in air-conditioned comfort and just savor the views from inside this 3,000 square foot island home. Kihei Ocean Front Hale was originally built for a prominent local family in the early 1960s, this impeccably maintained, single-story home was fully restored to embrace the low-key, laid-back tone and texture of Old Hawaii, while adding modern conveniences and loving owner touches that will help define your ultimate family beach experience. Kihei Ocean Front Hale is a legal and licensed vacation rental home.
The large, open kitchen features a wonderful gathering island, and is properly equipped to service up to 12 guests during your relaxed stay. Your hosts have thought of everything to enhance your experience, including luxury linens, lightning-fast cable/internet, a washer-dryer and mini-laundry room, and high-end hotel-level mattresses. There is a full complement of beach gear, including Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella, water shoes, and portable cooler for guest use.
The Master bedroom, which features a luxurious King, is well separated from the other two bedrooms, and the oversized sleeper sofa in the living room. The Master has direct lanai access and features the same forever-views as the living room and kitchen.
A large gas barbeque grill and outdoor shower are conveniently located off the kitchen entrance, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. There is a fenced-in courtyard area in the front yard, a quiet and secluded patio space ideal for private time with your favorite beach read.
You're on the sand in fifteen seconds, where you'll discover a natural shallow reef – bring your water shoes (or use some of ours) and venture out for a swim. For your full-on beach days, the home is located four blocks from Charlie Young Beach, about fifteen minutes by foot. Charley Young, which adjoins Kamaole I Beach, is one of our island's “postcard” beaches, and features a gorgeous, wide swatch of soft golden sand, excellent swimming and snorkeling, and the quintessential Maui beach experience.
If you prefer to stay close to home, our home offers access to the best beach area on the the Halama Street shoreline. It's small, but picturesque – and the experienced snorkeler navigating the long, shallow entry (water shoes only!) can access reef unperturbed by others. You can launch your paddleboard or raft directly in front of the property and enjoy a comfortably sized, hardly travelled bit of your own Maui beach.
Venture inland just a few blocks and you're close to a Starbucks, movie theatre, and our favorite burger on the island, served up by Kool Cat Café. Enjoy a dozen restaurants and a large grocery store within a four-block range of the home, which features secure parking with its own driveway. At wonderful Kalama Park, a short 4-block stroll from the home, you'll find local ...

Home was all that was advertised. We had a very pleasant vacation. We were comfortable without feeling like we were going to break something, yet in a beautiful home. Amazed at how thoughtful the supplies were, eg: beach towels, beach chairs, linens, etc.
Would rent again.

This is a great spot if you're looking for something out of the busy tourist area! The house is great, plenty of space for my husband & I and our 5 children. The beach out front is lovely with tons of turtles! Our best decision was renting a couple of paddle boards for the week (they'll deliver!). We paddled out almost every morning and saw lots of turtles. Only downside is the wind in the afternoon, which I believe is just a Maui thing no matter what.

Wow, where to start, it was all just so darn great! The house is a perfect spot, close to shopping and everything. The beach is almost a private one, no resorts on this beach and thus, very few folks crowding it. The house is fabulous, first rate all around! We will be back again! Thanks!

The location in Kihei is perfect, especially for a family that enjoys the beach. You basically get direct access to an almost private beach. House meets the pictures exactly. We would stay there again.
