Maui Beach House

Escape to Maui Beach House – Your Island Home Just Steps from the Ocean

Welcome to Maui Beach House, your relaxing island retreat located less than 50 yards from one of South Maui’s beautiful beaches. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or simply looking for a peaceful place to unwind, this spacious two-bedroom, three-bathroom beach home comfortably accommodates up to six guests.

The open-air primary suite is designed for true island living, featuring a queen bed, a private lanai, and a luxurious soaking jacuzzi—perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. Downstairs, the second bedroom offers two twin beds that can easily be converted into a king upon request, along with its own television and private bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The main living area provides everything you need to feel at home, including a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, comfortable living room with a full-size Hawaiian futon, washer and dryer, walk-in shower, and even a private sauna for the ultimate relaxation. Complimentary Wi-Fi and basic cable are included throughout your stay.

Spend your days enjoying everything Maui has to offer, all just steps from your door. Swim in the warm Pacific, try stand-up paddleboarding, kayak along the shoreline, bodyboard in the waves, or simply take a leisurely morning or sunset stroll on the beach.

While being part of a duplex, Maui Beach House is thoughtfully set back from the shoreline and surrounded by beautifully maintained tropical landscaping that creates a peaceful sense of privacy. Fire up the shared barbecue, relax on the expansive lawn, and enjoy unforgettable sunsets with the sparkling Pacific Ocean and the stunning view of the West Maui Mountains.

One of the best parts of staying here is the natural island breeze. Gentle afternoon trade winds and mature tropical trees help keep the home cool and comfortable year-round, making air conditioning unnecessary.

Conveniently located in the heart of Kihei, you’ll be within easy walking distance of local restaurants, cafés, shops, grocery stores, and nightlife. Several championship golf courses are only minutes away, while Maalaea Harbor—just a 15-minute drive—offers world-class snorkeling excursions, whale watching (seasonal), fishing charters, and visits to the Maui Ocean Center.

As the day comes to a close, settle onto your private lanai with your favorite drink, listen to the gentle rhythm of the waves, and watch the stars fill the Hawaiian sky. Maui Beach House offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and authentic island charm, creating the ideal setting for memories you’ll treasure long after your vacation ends.

Amazing views from the Lanai and the master bedroom. A peaceful quiet property with a constant view of the ocean and incredible sunsets.The beach was so close and we were able to watch sea turtles in the surf . We also witnessed a turtle coming up onto the beach. The location is close to food stores, restaurants, and shopping. It is a very convenient location to travel from to anywhere on the island . I would highly recommend this property. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for cooking and enjoying your stay .Although we did not use them, there is a jacuzzi tub and also a sauna. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to all the tropical bird sounds including the feral chickens was incredible. my stay in Maui was magnificent!

The beach view was unobstructed. Exactly as described and pictured. I loved the location. Quick walk to Nalus, coffee, and more. We saw several whales breaching, several turtle's sunning on the beach or swimming in the water. The house has the cutest Hawaiian charm. It was incredibly clean. Not a speck of dust and the cleanest linens. Love the back screen door. Love the personal touches. Marti was easy to talk to so easy to. Would stay here over and over again. Loved our trip so much.

The house is well kept, comfortable, and all you need for a Maui vacation. Property owners were responsive and helpful.

We Will Be Back

Our family loved this home! The location can’t be beat! Steps from a beautiful, walkable, swimmable beach; short drive (or walk) to amazing food and shopping, but you get to return to a peaceful getaway. The home is beautiful, warm, and filled with Ohana. The lodging next door appears family oriented and was never loud or intrusive. Whale watching every morning off the upper deck (end of March) and sea turtles every day on the beach. Great alternative to a condo rental. We will be back!!

Excellent property, communicative and welcoming host, couldn't ask for better. Marti left us a beautiful welcome basket full of treats and was available and prompt when we needed to communicate. Thank you! The beach is amazing. The house is nicely appointed with nice, soft, comfortable beds and comfy bedding, many towels, comfortable blankets and nice beach chairs and umbrellas. The kitchen with all of its nice equipment and appliances, and Tupperware was amazing and made it easy to cook meals in the house easily. There were books galore and we left a bunch as well. It was our comfy and beautiful "home away from home" for 9 nights and 10 days for a family of five. The pullout futon was great for an extra sleeping option. So much good at this stay! The sunsets are beautiful. The water was great for swimming and floating around in. It was humid and hot but the water to cool off in and many fans in the house were appreciated. We saw a couple of turtles in the water. Crabs running around on the beach. Geckos everywhere. So cool! It was so nice to have the smart TVs for our teenagers when they wanted a break from being outside. As for the adults, endless book reading, sunset watching, listening to the waves, and sitting on the patio was heavenly. The BBQ was really nice. Very hard to leave this place. Kīhei paradise! Thank you Marti for the beautiful stay and warm hospitality.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Kihei. The house has a true Hawaiian charm — cozy, laid-back, and full of character, with thoughtful details that make it feel like a home rather than just a rental. Being directly on the beachfront made our days feel incredibly special. From morning walks by the water to sunsets right in front of the house, it felt like living inside a postcard.We were also touched by the lovely welcome basket filled with local products — such a heartfelt gesture that immediately set the tone for our stay and made us feel warmly received.The location could not be more convenient. Everything is just a short walk away — grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, surf shops, even a doctor and pharmacy if needed.Although we never met the homeowner in person, communication was always smooth and attentive. Whenever we had a question or needed something, she responded quickly and kindly, which made the whole stay feel easy and well taken care of.This stay gave us exactly what we hoped for: slow mornings, ocean days, and an authentic sense of Maui living. We loved every minute and would return without hesitation.Highly recommended.

Dreamy Authentic Hawaiian Hideaway

This has been our best VRBO rental by far. The house had everything we needed down to a full array of spices, towels, chairs, welcome basket etc…I could go on and on. The views are nothing less than spectacular. We had a full moon our entire week and felt like we were going to bed gazing out on a scene straight from the play South Pacific. Nothing short of magical. We saw sea turtles sunbathing on the beach, whales offshore and had the privacy you only dream of. Even the grass is divine…lush, soft and spongy; my daughter was surprised she could walk out on the path to the beach without getting “stickers” as we call them in the Carolinas…AKA sand spurs! The design of the house and the decor is definitely old school Hawaii and harkens back to a simpler time. The large wooden French doors opening to the lanai were stunning and let in the Hawaiian breezes that kept the house cool all day.

This home was even more fantastic than we could've imagined! From the pictures, I couldn't tell if the beach was literally RIGHT there or if it was a bit of a walk. Either way, I knew the beach was close. Let me tell you...the beach is literally RIGHT there. We traveled with a toddler, so it was incredibly convenient to set up the beach chairs and be able to go back up to the house quickly to make lunch, grab snacks, change diapers, etc. The house itself is so charming and well-stocked: lots of hangers in all closets, a pack n play, games (we love Rummikub!), TONS of towels and extra linens, and more. When you open the back doors, you get the most terrific breeze and feel like you're outside, even though you're inside. It also feels SO private. You share a common wall with the unit next door and their are lots of other rentals in the area, but the hedges and trees give you the utmost privacy. I thought the beach would be more crowded than it was, as we went during "ski week." Each day, it was almost all ours. In many of our pictures, it looks like we're on a private beach! Marti was a fantastic host. Extremely communicative and concerned with our happiness. I'll be telling friends and family about this place. Such a gem! Oh, and last thing: there's a liquor store down the street that sells poke and rice. It sounds weird to buy poke from a liquor store, but it was the BEST—and also much cheaper than other nearby places!

What an extraordinary spot for a honeymoon!

We were in heaven! We arrived to the sound of surf and cool breezes blowing through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There, on the kitchen table, was a wildly generous gift basket of fresh fruits, chocolates, cookies, jam, and coffee. The kitchen itself was perfectly equipped, including coffee, tea, and spices. The house ... I can hardly describe how wonderful the house is -- the big decks, the upstairs bedroom with its Jacuzzi tub and surf-and-sunset views, the comfy living room, the privacy-protecting landscaping, and the well-kept lawn that stretches all the way to the sand dunes of Kihei's sweet little beach. It also came equipped with everything we needed. Beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and more. We truly felt more like guests than like vacation renters. Thank you, Marti, for your gracious house and your gracious self. I would just offer one small caveat; If you have mobility problems just know that this house has a LOT of stairs. Its three+ levels are part of its charm, but we got as much exercise walking around inside as we did from walking on the beach.

Nice house on the beach

My wife and I stayed here with our two sons (3 & 2). The house is in a great location in Kihei and essentially on the beach. I saw some other reviews that knocked the beach, but I don’t agree. The beach is beautiful for a swim or reading a book. We saw many turtles swimming around as well. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials and they left a nice welcome package. Beach amenities including chairs and umbrella were included. The views from the deck and balcony were so beautiful (perfect sunsets). I would not stay here in warmer months, as there is not air conditioning. When we had multiple days above 85F, it was challenging to stay cool even with all the windows open. This made it tough for our youngest to nap at times, but we all adjusted and still had a great vacation. I would also suggest they replace all the pillows. They really weren’t comfortable (flat, no support) and there weren’t extra anywhere we could find. Marti was accommodating to us and allowed us to add an extra adult a few weeks before our stay. Communication was smooth and we had no real issues. They also provided a nice pack n play for our toddler. Our kids loved all the little geckos running around the house.

Excellent on multiple fronts!

First off, the host of this property was far more generous than other rental owners, in my experience. They provided so many basics/extras (think laundry detergent, welcome basket with treats, plenty of beach towels, etc.). I felt they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay vs simply make money. LOCATION: so convenient! Close to grocery, so many restaurants, several beaches, yet we felt tucked away, secluded with privacy. NOISE: several other reviews mentioned the resort next door being a little rowdy. This wasn’t our experience at all. It was near silent 24/7. Ironically, the only time we were a tad put off was by our “duplex-mates” who lacked a little social etiquette, but such is life. NO A/C: It might just be luck of the draw and maybe our weather was warmer than usual, but this was an issue for us. Since hardly anyone else mentioned it, I have to assume we might be a little more sensitive to heat but wanted to give an honest perspective. Yes, the afternoons are breezy. But that’s also when the setting sun is pouring into the windows. Each night of our stay the breeze literally STOPPED at 8pm for the next twelve hours. I’ve never seen palms so still. If you have no issues with this, great. But wanted to let folks know since it could be a risk if you’re heat averse. Overall, this place and the host are awesome. An A/C window unit in the upstairs bedroom would’ve made it perfection! Thank you!!

Fantastic place

This is one of the best VRBO places we have ever stayed in. Location is ESCELLENT, steps away from the beach and very close to groceries, restaurants, etc. Also easy to get to Wailea beaches and south (5-10 minutes), Maalea and North (5-10 minutes), and about 30 minutes from Lahaina and 45 minutes from Kanaapali. The property itself is outstanding, with comfy beds, modern appliances, beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided, sauna (which we did not take advantage of), wonderful porches for watching the sunsets and whale spotting, and quite private. Yes, there is a small resort (screend from view by the trees) next door, but it was very quiet and we felt very secluded, especially for being in the heart of Kihei. All beds were comfy, bathrooms were large, just a great, great place. We hope to stay here again (if we ever make it back to Hawaii).

The beach, which is about 30 feet from the door, has soft sand and the water has lots of beautiful sea turtles. The water isn't ideal for snorkeling because the visibility isn't great but you are 5 minutes away from many other great snorkeling beaches. The house itself is great! Off street parking is great. Plenty of space. 3 bathrooms, one on each level. Nice size living area with a nice TV. Full size kitchen with all the amenities and plenty of counter space. The master bedroom on the top level is spectacular. Spacious, Jacuzzi tub w/shower, and the most amazing view you can imagine. There is a lanai off of the master bedroom as well that offers even better views than the main floor lanai. Great place for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. The location is pretty good as well. Kihei is a resort/tourist area but the house is in an area secluded from most of that. The benefit of a resort town is that there is plenty of shopping, dining, etc. within walking distance. The only slight downside is the condo/resort next door. It is separated by large hedges so privacy isn't a problem. You are completely private. Sometimes it can get a little noisy next door but it seems like a family oriented resort so after dinner things are completely quiet. The proprietor, Marti, was awesome. Quick to respond to any questions I had through the VRBO site. Even gave us some suggestions on things to do on Maui. Overall this is an amazing property, with an amazing location, and an amazing proprietor. We would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking to visit Maui. We can't wait to return!
