Welcome to the beach! We open our home to you, your family and friends. This home and property was originally built as a family, beachfront vacation home and our intent is to share this wonderful home for years to come. This home has 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths and air conditioning in all of the bedrooms and living areas as well as the perfect beach right outside your back door. (In the event you need more room, we also have a unique Hawaiian HOME on the 150' wide property. It is a very special home built in the 1960s. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and sleeps 6 guests. This adjacent home can be viewed at: VRBO #2062788. If you would like to rent both houses together, you will be able to sleep 16 guests.) The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood. One block away is the heart of Kihei Town, with local restaurants, pubs, fast food, music, night life, drug store, Kaiser and so much more.
Beautiful tropical plants adorn the property, including a number of coconut palm trees and a 100+ year-old banyan tree, banana trees and a lemon tree. Coconuts are trimmed from the trees twice a year; it is an amazing experience to see the trimmers shimmy their way up the trees and cut the coconuts out.
The house is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath home that sleeps 10 quests. Two of the bedrooms have king-size beds, a third has 2 queen beds and the 4th has 2 twin beds. The house has beautiful flooring, granite countertops and wooden kitchen cabinets. All 4 bedrooms are located on the 2nd story with a large deck (12 x 24) that overlooks the ocean. Both of the king bedrooms have sliding glass doors that access the large lanai. Morning coffee is a must from this location as you watch the ocean awake. It's like sitting on top of the world!
All of the beautiful furnishings are comfortable, making it easy to feel at home, relax and enjoy your vacation. The kitchen is fully stocked (including a blender, toaster oven, microwave and Hawaiian dish ware, rice cooker, coffee pot). The kitchen has great counter space and the dining table expands to seat 12 guests.
Relax on the large lanai facing the lawn and beach beyond, or lounge on deck chairs on the lawn. This home has everything you will need to enjoy your vacation---you feel at home the moment you walk in. You would never know you are one block from the main road of Kihei Town.
There is a hand built lava rock wall that fronts the property. There are a few reasons we decided to have the wall built---we want our guests to feel comfortable and secure and also for our guests can enjoy the wall and discover the beauty of lava, the fabric of our Island.
The house is adjacent to a 2-bedroom house under common ownership, which is also available to rent.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT ALLOW WEDDINGS AND/OR RECEPTIONS ON THIS PROPERTY. THIS IS A GREAT PROPERTY TO HOUSE YOUR GUESTS IN, BUT NO FUNCTIONS ALLOWED.
A groundskeeper lives on site and can be reached by phone....

The house was on a delightful piece of property, overlooking the ocean. The beautiful back lawn was perfect for our group, whether it be a game to play or the chairs for relaxing and watching the sun set. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to put our meals together. It was clean and we were very comfortable, even with 9 people filling up the house!

House size was great! Kitchen was well stocked with everything that was needed. Yard space was nice. The outside area was great area with a grill and a large table where we ate.
Little disappointed in the beach area. There was no beach area to sit by the water. It was a steep incline so not easy for a chair to sit by the water. However, it was neat to watch the turtles come up at sundown to sleep and watch swim in the water.
At the end of our stay we were packing up to leave and we borrowed the cooler to take our refig food to a family member who was also vacationing on the island and have one last picnic on the island for a few hours homeowner got really mad. Cooler was returned before the housekeeper left. Housekeeper was there when we left and we packed up 3 grocery bags of dry food for them as a courtesy. Even cleaned up a bit so they would not have much to do. An hour later the homeowner sent me a mean text accusing us of smoking in the house! Which we did NOT! I live in a smoke free home and I would never allow that! I am very sensitive to smoke so I would have know if someone did smoke in it. We did vacation with some smokers and they ALWAYS smoked outside! What a way to end a dream vacation!!

This property was just as listed and even better! Great communication with our host Brian, great location to access community and restaurants and even greater natural environment! One night we counted 36 turtles on the beach...mornings on the deck were glorious. The house is stocked with more than we expected and plenty of room for all of us. We couldn't have picked a better place.

Our stay was filled with mornings drinking coffee on the beach as our toddlers played and sunsets with our entire family watching the turtles come up to sleep. The owner was incredibly helpful when we had questions. We had a wonderful time filled with timeless memories.

Brian was exceptionally helpful from the get go. The house was perfect for our extended family and had all the amenities we needed for wonderful days at the beach. The kitchen was well appointed and clean, with plenty of plates, utensils, and cooking gadgets.
The outdoor space was perfect for our little ones to run and play. There was even a little kiddie pool, ideal for after-beach splashing.
We enjoyed the lanai every day for cards games, lunch, dinner, and gathering.
It was a great location to nearby Kihei shops, restaurants, souvenir markets, and Kalama park for the kids.
Sunsets were magical with the onshore arrival of sea turtles each evening. We sat in wonder as their heads popped up and the waves carried them onto the sand. The most we counted was 19 one night. It was lovely if we rose early for morning walks and found some still lingering before heading out to the ocean for the day.
I highly recommend The Palms for family vacations. Thank you, Brian, for making it so easy.

We are so glad we chose this property for our stay in Kihei! The other reviewers were spot on about what a wonderful unit this is. The ocean view from the property is amazing, and it was great to have a grassy area where our children could play when we were not on the beach. We took advantage of the large outdoor dining space every evening, and the fridge offered plenty of storage space for nightly cooking.
Our favorite thing was watching the sunset, followed by the sea turtles coming up on the beach for the evening. We used the provided beach chairs to enjoy this beautiful event, and one night we counted 13 turtles of varying sizes. It was a delightful new experience for us to watch them come ashore. We appreciated the provision of beach towels, chairs and outdoor toys for our vacation.
The host, Brian, was professional and very responsive to our communications.
Even though the unit is in a neighborhood with little space between houses, it was quiet and we rarely noticed noise from neighbors or the street. The home is conveniently located to grocery stores, ice cream shops and gift stores.
It was great to have cable TV, as this seems to be a lacking feature in VRBOs these days. The living room offered a good amount of space for our group of 7 and we never felt crowded. The individual AC units kept the house cool.
We loved the daily visits of the wild chickens and roosters and the sounds of the myna birds.
So much to enjoy at this property! Mahalo!

We had a wonderful week in Maui, the house is in a perfect spot with a beautiful lawn that leads down to a sandy beach. Kehei shops and dining are a short walk away! Brian was great to work with and the trip, and check-in/out were all super easy.

This property could not have been more amazing! We came as a family to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary, and this house was everything. Convenient, beautiful, and well appointed. There could be no better way to do Maui than this house. A+

Get location and property. Access to beach, sunsets, yard and patio are terrific. Beach community is relaxing and friendly. We highly recommend this property.

This is a beautiful house on a beautiful beach. Brian, the property manager, was extremely easy to work with. Access to the beach was easy, even for our 92 year old visitor.
One slight caveat: in the visitor's book in the house it was mentioned that there are poisonous black urchins in the coral in the water right there by the house. Whether this is true or not we didn't establish, but we didn't feel comfortable getting into the water there too much. We just went down a ways farther.
One more thing needs to be mentioned: there are Hawaiian green sea turtles that came up onto the beach every single night we were there!! I can't overestimate what a thrill that was!
I highly recommend this house for a wonderful beach vacation & hope we get a chance to stay there again.

This property is really great for a family vacation. We had 6 adults staying here and we had lots of space to be together and have our own space. Kitchen allowed us cook many of our meals and huge big tables inside and out were great.
