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.

This was the perfect home base for a week on Maui! The place was super clean, comfortable, quiet, and right on the beach. It’s centrally located, making it an easy walk to local shops and restaurants. The host was incredibly responsive, too. We would love to stay here again!

Our stay at Honu’ea Cottage was so wonderful! We loved the location as it was close to so many restaurants and activities. The cottage was perfect for 2 people and we enjoyed the view to the ocean from the lanai and from the inside. There was everything we needed for our stay. Quiet and peaceful space to enjoy our vacation. Amber, the host, was exceptional with communication before and throughout our stay. Great recommendations for places to eat! Highly recommend this lovely cottage.

This was our 2nd stay at the Cottage, great location. Love walking through the path in the backyard to see the turtles and walk the beach each morning. Comfortable king size bed, full kitchen with a nice mixture of spices and condiments. Amber is so easy to contact for any questions and was very responsive to us during one of the storms. Easy to get around the island from here - very centrally located.

The cottage was exactly what we wanted. Privacy, beach front and quiet. Amber is very accommodating and it has the basics and then some. It is second story so the view is great so just meet the challenge of a few more steps. Enjoy the moment.

We loved our stay. The sunset from the porch thru the palm trees over the narrow beach were to die for. We could leave the slider open with just the screen and listen to the surf. Waking up to that is hard to beat. Two blocks away is an ordinary shopping district that has what you need. After driving thru other areas along that coast can’t imagine a more comfortable place for a couple to stay.

This one bedroom apartment is very comfortable and is well supplied with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It is private, easy access to the entire island and shops/food a short drive and many within walking distance to either cook dinner or get take out and watch sunset from the balcony.

This was our second stay here. It is a great location to access shops, restaurants and the rest of the island. The VRBO has everything you need to enjoy the week. A quick walk through backyard and you are on a sandy beach, where turtles come to rest at night. We will stay here again when we are on Maui.

Unique, Private and Perfect

The cottage is so thoughtfully designed and includes everything you need. The view is perfection. You are on the beach in about a minute. Walk to Nalu's, Akamai coffee and just about anywhere else you may want or need. The location makes it easy to drive to Wailea, upcountry and Maalaea harbor. The cottage is a wonderful alternative to a condo/resort and we loved it. We spend 10 nights and didn't want to leave. It became home away from home. Thank you to manager Amber for a seamless stay.

Fun getaway!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The beach is just steps away from the door. Beautiful sunsets, turtles on the beach, pickleball nearby at the community park. Overall a great experience, just pack light as luggage must be carried up two flights of stairs. Owner was great and very communicative. Shopping center and groceries within walking distance. Would visit here again.

Relaxing and comfortable cottage!

We enjoyed our week at the cottage. It was so nice to have our own private space. It was quiet and comfy with all the amenities you could possibly need. The view of the water from the patio was awesome and it was an easy little trail to get to the beach for a walk on the sand. We got to see a turtle resting our first day! The cottage was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, beach necessities and all our kitchen needs. We had easy access to all of Kihei and Wailea, a lot of things were in walking distance as well. Amber was easy to communicate with and quick to respond if we had questions. We highly recommend!
