Exclusive Beachfront Cottage, Private, Ocean Views, AC, WiFi, Whale Watching!

On Maui's sunny south shore, is the romantic Honu’ea cottage, where quiet peaceful living is a way of life. Honu'ea (Hawksbill Turtle) is named after the endangered turtles that come and nest on the sandy shores in front of the property. Honu’ea is perfect for honeymooners or couples just wanting a unique tranquil getaway. The cottage is located on an acre of landscaped grounds with an unobstructed beachfront view of the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from the front door you can take long walks on miles of uncrowded sandy beach.

Honu’ea is a one bedroom, one bath Hawaiian style cottage. The cottage is located on the second story with its own private entrance. This cottage has a great open floor plan that allows for ocean views from almost every room. The master bedroom includes a king size bed, ample walk in closet for clothes and luggage, and a great view of the landscaped yard and ocean. The living space has an inviting sitting area with a relaxing sofa and chair and flat screen tv/dvd. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for all your cooking needs. The cottage also has an amazing beachfront lanai with outdoor seating and BBQ. For the really hot Maui summer days the cottage has a central air conditioning unit.

The cottage is centrally located so you’re only a short walk away from great local restaurants, grocery stores, and shops. The neighborhood is walkable and local bus service is available.

Tropical Heaven
It was incredible. The view and uniqueness of this cottage and property are superb. My husband and I had never in our lives been to the islands until this stay. (10 day stay). We knew we wanted a quiet, non-resort property and this was perfect! Everything you could need or want is just a few minutes away by car. We even walked to a near-by restaurant which was wonderful! Sitting on the deck watching and hearing the gentle ocean waves and many birds was surreal. It was truly a vacation to remember forever. I thank you so much for this beautiful private paradise!!

Peaceful haven
The cottage was a perfect place for my husband and I to relax and unwind, even watch whales from the lanai! It really looks just like it does in the photos, gorgeous ocean views and on a peaceful street yet walking distance to restaurants and food trucks. The place was very well equipped, even providing beach chairs for our use. We hope we can return again one day!

Totally Awesome!
This place was so quiet and beautiful. Saw turtles everyday right on the beach out back and whales all the time. The place was clean and so fun to stay at. The little deck has such a great view! We were right in the mix of all the fun things to do in Kihei and walked most evenings just to enjoy. We will come back! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Great Location - What is not to love!
We visited for our honeymoon and had a great time. Great location with an awesome view. A minute walk to the beach. If you visit, make sure to check out the beach at night as we found over 10 large turtles resting on the beach for the night. Bed was very comfortable. The place had plenty of space for two people. Location was fabulous. You are minutes away from lots of shopping and restaurants. If you are visiting, make sure to check out the food trucks on Alahele Pl. The location is also very private and did not feel touristy at all. The host was easy to communicate with and answered any questions quickly.

This was our first visit to Maui and this cottage was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Quiet, comfortable and tucked away. Bed was comfortable (for reference we sleep on a tempurpedic). I felt the cottage to be very neat and clean. Amber left a sweet little gift for us upon arrival. Also, had some cold waters in the fridge which we really appreciated because we arrived so late and didn’t have time to stop at the market. Views from the cottage were lovely. We walked the beach daily and took a dip a few of the days. Water is shallow but if you walk a little further down the beach you can find more swim-able depths. We saw turtles multiple days and even saw whales (ps we brought binoculars). Not sure why the other reviewer complained of the washer/ dryer. They worked well and weren’t especially noisy in my opinion. Plenty of glassware . We felt the couch to be comfortable for 2 people and enjoyed winding down with tv at night. This cottage created beautiful memories for us and we look forward to visiting again in the summer!

Beautiful views of the Maui sunset in a perfect location! Just a few steps to the beach where we watched the sea turtles make their way in and out of the sea every night. The cottage had everything we needed and was in walking distance of local stores and restaurants. If you’re a craft brew fan, Maui brewing and their beer garden is a must. Aloha!

We had the best time. Amber is a great host and everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated, comfy bed, amazing view, and close to the beach. We saw over a dozen turtles on the beach the night before we left! The location is excellent for walks to dinner and easy access to everything there is to do in Maui. We loved our little piece of heaven!

Spectacular View - Unexpected Accomodations
The view is 5 stars. Enjoyed the beach, seeing the turtles at night. Easy access to the beach from the yard. The studio was a 3.75. It was clean, no frills. The chair and sofa is not designed for relaxing and watching TV in the evening. Had leftover open condiments in the refrigerator, opened and unopened alcoholic beverages, and spices left by previous guests in the unit. Bathroom had no facial tissue, shampoo, grab bars. The bath rugs had no slip resistant backing. If you don’t rent a car you will miss a lot of the island to explore.

Paradise perfection
This was our 3rd trip to a Maui, and our absolute favorite, thanks to our stay in this wonderful cottage! The privacy, the views and sounds of the ocean from anywhere in the cottage were better than we had imagined. Turtles on the beach, whales breaching from the lanai - all amazing! The cottage was perfect, the bed was super comfortable. The amenities were great and the communication path to the property manager was flawless. Attentive, not disruptive. Overall we were on Cloud 10!

This property was the perfect rental for my husband and me. The view is gorgeous, a quick walk to the beach for a morning stroll, evening view of the sunset or simply lounging during the day. The house had everything you would need. We walked most mornings to breakfast and other shops are within a couple of blocks. We will definitely be back.

Getaway
This cottage by the sea is definitely a lil getaway. Little improvement to be had but nothing major. Everything was great from check in to check out. The evenings of watching turtles come in at night was the highlight of our trip. I would recommend water shoes for the rocky beach out front but there are areas down the beach that aren’t as bad. The recommendations Amber gave for the beaches were spot on. Locations to shopping were great!
