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.

Quiet and private

We had a wonderful time in this private little cottage. Good location, with shops and restaurants nearby. Great ocean views. Btw, the Maui Aquarium is a great stop for an afternoon and lunch in the outdoor restaurant was very good.

Honeymoon

My husband and i stayed here for our honeymoon and we didnt want to leave! The cottage looks exactly like the photos. The street is fairly quiet and you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We wanted something private and away from crowds of people and thats exactly what we got. We both highly recommend you book a stay here!!

Honeymoon stay!

This was perfect for everything my wife and I wanted for our honeymoon stay in beautiful Maui. The owners have many accommodations on the property that we felt went above and beyond expectation. The short walk to the beach was perfect for sunset viewing, hanging with the turtles, and more! Shops, restaurants, etc., are all within walking distance from the property and super convenient. Can’t recommend this place enough!

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.

Captivating and serene beachside retreat

This breezy, private upper floor property was perfect for our 8 night stay. It is a cozy, spotless, well appointed one bedroom apartment with every amenity, including a BBQ & beach chairs. Located in a quiet walkable neighborhood, with direct beach access and wonderful views from the deck! Great airflow throughout the apartment as well, and fully screened so we barely used the available AC. This place is a gem. We are already planning our return!

Great cottage with great location

We really enjoyed our stay. Its a great cottage with a really good loacation. The view off the lanai is hard to beat! You could walk to several places if you wanted to. The small kitchen with washer/dryer came in very handy during our stay. The cottage is very quiet and we usually had the beach to ourselves except for the occasional walker by. You will need water shoes because of all the coral but can walk out rather far into the water if you do. If you want a bigger beach then Kamaole Beach is just a short drive away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we chose to stay in South Maui next time.

Magical!

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!

Peaceful Paradise

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!

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!!
