Located in sunny South Maui, Maui's South Shore boasts the most variety and breathtakingly beautiful beaches of all Hawaiian Islands. Just pack your swim suite and leave the rest to us. Staying in a house with relaxing outdoor spaces is truly one of the best ways to enjoy your vacation. This is a non-smoking property.
Why rent a private cottage? You never have to share the hot tub or the BBQ with any of the other tourists nor is there a closing time for the hot tub. Parking is so convenient directly in front of the cottage, you never have to compete with other guests for parking spaces. When you have your large suitcases, Costco purchases, beach gear and coolers, your car is just out the front door instead of meandering through a large complex with your heavy items.

Walk beyond Cove Park and you find Charley Young beach which is part of the famous Kamaole beaches.
In the morning, walk to Starbucks, Lava Java Coffee Roasters, or Da Greens and enjoy your coffee at the beach or in a lush tropical setting. During the early evening, you can enjoy Happy Hour at Three’s Bar and Grill or one of the other many places within a 10-minute walk of the house or enjoy the gorgeous sunsets at the beach.

A little slice of paradise!
We couldn’t recommend Jenni and Dave’s luxury Kehei cottage more! Such a beautiful slice of Maui. Lots of activities, restaurants, shopping, etc to do within a 10-15 minute walk. The cottage itself was extremely clean and very comfortable. We hope to be back!

Book it and you won't regret it!
My wife and I have stayed at many different vacation rentals over the years, and this property is the best, pound for pound, that we have stayed in.It packs a real punch into its 1Bed/1Bath footprint. Hot tub, outdoor shower, two separate outdoor seating areas, in unit laundry, smart TVs, high quality linens, a luxury shower, and more! And that's just the physical features. The hosts Jenni and Dave think of literally everything they can to make your stay wonderful. Whether it's a welcome gift, extra sunscreen, or a recommendation book that's 2" thick, they have invested their time into making the place memorable. They've also invested their money - everything feels new and high quality, as of January 2025, or at the very least VERY well kept up. We also liked how walkable it was to S Kihei Rd and many of the major restaurants and stores near Kalama Park. We did this daily for breakfast and dinner.There should be a special category for hosts like this who keep up properties like this, because I'd stay at any of their properties again in a heartbeat. If this space fits your needs and is anywhere close to your budget, just book it because you won't regret it.

Wonderful stay for our honeymoon retreat!
The hosts were really great at answering any questions prior to check-in and also touched base with us to ensure we had all we needed.
The property itself was beautiful. It was so nice waking up in the morning, having coffee on the back porch and listening to the birds. It was a pretty short/enjoyable walk to restaurants and nightlife and the driveway was awesome for quick parking of our car.
Would highly recommend to anyone who's looking to visit Maui!
Thanks again for a wonderful stay :)

Amazing private cottage!
My Husband and I just got married this month
on the Big Island. I chose this because it would be perfect for our honeymoon in Maui.
We loved the privacy, the location, the cleanliness, the clean/green atmosphere, and the quick and warm communication from Jenni.
They had a wonderful book they created so we can ‘meet’ their family. It also provided so many adventures, places to eat, beaches to go to.
I love this cottage and will absolutely reserve again for our future travel.

Love this little cottage!
We only had 2 nights here, but I wish we could have stayed much longer - the accommodations were simply lovely - the landscaping created a private flower-filled oasis and the creation of outdoor living space makes the home seem at least twice as big. The owners were very responsive in communicating with us and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our only disappointment is that the nearest beach isn't really a swimming beach, but it has amazing sunsets!

Wish we could redo this trip all over again. Couldn’t recommend this cottage enough. Best location, walking distance to so many great restaurants and beaches and easy access to highway and Wailea. They have thought of anything that you may need on the trip - even water bottles and thermoses for trip to Haleakala!
I love the house, its nice, clean, has all of the amenities, and is just overall beautiful. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again. The owners communicate well and share good information about the area.

Well appointed cottage just the right size for 2 people. Everything up dated, very well equipped with everything you need to cook. We ate outside often and enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee. The closest beach is very small so ended up driving to larger beach. Lots of beach equipment included with the cottage.

Beautiful and a bit of a walk when you go out
This cottage is a perfect retreat. Very private. Beautifully appointed, lovely restful, garden and great hot tub. But, unless you want to spend a lot if time walking, you need a car. Groceries are close but it’s a step and a half to the beach and back especially carrying beach stuff and if you want yo go and come a few times a day. Hi it’s were 100% helpful and responsive. Overall a lovely place to wait out the rain!

Wow!!!
Had a great time here. Very relaxing, quiet and tranquil. Host was excellent and kept in touch to make sure all was going well with our stay. Kihei is a wonderful little town and a good location for everything on the island, except maybe Hana, but Hana is really off the beaten path. For us, most of the places in Kihei we frequented was within walking distance. Wailea was about ten minutes away by car in case you want to do some upscale shopping. Upcountry is about a good 45 minutes away if you want to enjoy some beautiful country driving or check out the winery. Lahaina and Paia are about 45 minutes away for additional shopping experiences and be sure to drop by the Hana Picnic Lunch Company in Paia and pick up a couple of sandwiches if you do decide to take a trip out to Hana and don’t forget some motion sickness pills because the road to Hana is about 2.5 hours and is extremely twisty. Great location for access to many scenic attractions on the island. This place is on our do over list on our next trip to Maui.
