Direct oceanfront north shore beach house! This home is directly off Sand piles surf break. It sits on the edge of Waiehu Beach and is the last oceanfront home before Waiehu golf course. It is perfect for a laid back local Maui experience away from the crowds. Go for morning beach walks or sit and watch the surfers. Enjoy the evenings listening to the waves crash against the shoreline. Comprehensive remodel completed in February 2024.
The house sits about 20 feet from the ocean. We love having meals out by the water. Some of the features of the home include:
- Beautiful Ocean Views
- Vaulted Ceilings Upstairs
- Oceanfront Lanai
- King Sized Bed in both Master Bedrooms
- Queen Size Bed in Bedroom 3
- Twin Over Full Bunk Bed in Bedroom 4
- Split Air Conditioning in both Living Rooms & all 4 Bedrooms
- Full Sized Washer/Dryer In Unit
- 87" Flat Screen TV in Upstairs Living Room
- 75" Flat Screen Tv in Downstairs Living Room
- Fully Equipped Kitchen
- Reserved Parking
- Barbeque Grill
- Tommy Bahama Beach Chairs
- Boogie Boards
- Beach Towels
The shoreline in front of the house is cobblestone. We love seashell hunting and surfing right off the back of the property, but we do not recommend swimming here. We recommend driving to one of the many great sandy beaches nearby if you are going to do a beach day. Most guests spend the mornings and evenings enjoying the house and the shoreline. During the day they explore the rest of the island as the house is centrally located, so it is only a short drive to about anywhere on Maui.
The upstairs and downstairs of the home is connected with an outside stairway which is common in Hawaii. There is only one house on the property. Guests have the whole property to themselves and access to the entire house except the garage.

When we arrived to the property we were excited due to the amazing views and the fact that you can walk to the beach in about 3 minutes. Unfortunately the inside of the house is much more worn down than what the images show online. In addition, the couches )upstairs and downstairs) were stained and the shower curtain in the bathroom was moldy along with the mattress and curtains in the downstairs bedroom. When I messaged the owner about our concerns he was very accommodating. He had clean sheets to put over the couches and asked how he could help with the mold situation. Overall he was a very gracious host, but the house was not what we expected.

Josh was very accommodating. The right up on the house is very accurate. Our family loves the house and the location. We loved sitting on the lanai and watching the sun rise and the surfer’s every morning. Would stay here again!

We were a group of 6, us parents, 2 adult daughters, our son in law and 17 yo grandson. We looked forward to our trip for months, and truly wanted to love the place. We did gather from the home description that this was not a "resort" type destination but we were ready to enjoy the reported views, charm and laid back qualities of the home.
The lot is large and oceanfront with a well kept lawn area. The downstairs master is cramped and dark with a small obscured slider that opens onto a small concrete patio, it is very difficult to open/close. The other downstairs bedroom was similarly small and dark, and it's small window looks directly onto the large eyesore condemned properties next door. Sadly, people are living there.
The upstairs area has a large master bedroom with 4 widely spaced small windows. The master bath is small and the tub/shower is rusty and uninviting. Window coverings throughout were in disrepair and couches were stained. The refrigerator does not keep contents cold. The slider off the upstairs kitchen is also very difficult to open/close. There is one couch upstairs and one downstairs. We wanted a place that would allow all 6 of us to gather together comfortably as well as provide privacy and rest.
We tried to make the best of it but ultimately, and despite the significant unanticipated expense, we could not allow ourselves to spend our limited and hard earned vacation time in this home and left after our 2nd night. We found another property to rent that was well maintained, comfortable and accommodating and it saved our vacation.
If all you want is a bare bones home base to enjoy Maui from this may be serviceable.

Windows and sliders so dirty it was hard to see out. Broken locks on doors and windows. Pictured outside furniture not there. Soft lumpy mattresses. AC barely worked. Ants in kitchen. Not even a bar of soap for the shower or other sundries. Condemned houses next door occupied by homeless. We paid for a week and left after 1 nite. We have pictures to back this up.

My family and I spent a week at this house and thoroughly enjoyed it! We especially enjoyed the beach/ocean immediately behind the home. It was equipped with several body boards, ice chest and beach chairs that we used all week.
The functioning kitchen upstairs was great and the kitchenette downstairs was handy for quick stuff. Would definitely rent this house again!
Thank you!

Josh, the property owner did a good job describing this property. Reading the other reviews were helpful as well. As the July 2018 review states: Advise everyone to have appropriate expectations since this home IS at the edge of the ocean and becomes weathered with salt and wind.
We did enjoy listening to the waves, sifting through the driftwood on the beach and watching the beautiful sunrises. The surfers were right next door, evidentially it’s a favorite spot for local surfers, which were fun to watch.
Some cons: the dishwasher does not do a good job washing the dishes. Buy a non-stick pan, the lockboxes were hard to open and shut.
Pros: right on the beach, 15 minutes from Costco, Safeway and Whole Foods, in a residential area, sandy beach and surfers right next door, comfy beds and soft sheets. We enjoyed our time there and it worked well for our group of six.
Josh did a great job with communication, including sending us information way in advance on arrival and departure info, house manual, places to eat, hikes, beaches, transportation, grocery stores and a map of the island.
