Charming “Cottage” with a Good Location
Very nice place that is great for two people! We stayed there for a week. Pretty much every thing we needed for enjoying our “Beach Time” was provided.And definitely a short walk to get to the beach. The Kitchen was excellent and well stocked, including condiments. Only item worth mentioning is the Small stand up shower and toilet area. If you’re a Large person, this May be looking into.

Cottage in Kihei
Loved the patio area. Bathroom extremely small,,We are small people so I do not know how a large person could manage. Also two huge liabilities for the owner. The first being the step coming out of the bathroom. The second is the step from living area into the kitchen. As seniors we found them to be EXTREMELY dangerous !!! Mold in shower head, towel rack ready to fall off the wall, TV unable to watch for us ,as the sound needs to be repaired. Several huge roaches in the house .Neighbors extremely noisy!! Other than that, LOVED Hawaii and hated to leave. We really did enjoy our stay but thought the owner should be aware of the two steps before some gets seriously hurt.

Perfect beach hq
The cottage was perfect for our family, walkable to a few places and an easy drive to anywhere else. Laundry, beach gear, and a pull out sofa were ideal for our family of 4, and the walkability and flowering tree next door made our stay amazing. The listing says two adults, and I agree, more than 2 adults would be cramped. Thanks for a lovely stay!!

Just what we were looking for:)
We were looking for a quiet, safe location that had a king bed! Place was clean had a lot of amenities such as a grill outback that we didn’t use couple lawnchair‘s awning and snorkel gear, which was great. It might be in the listing we didn’t see it, so we brought our own, who is nice to have a laundry place as well be nice if they can figure out a way to do recycling but we understand.

Cottage with potential but needs some attention
The cottage is a good size for 1-2 people. We enjoyed being close to beaches, restaurants and activities. It has a large bedroom with a comfortable bed. The decor in the cottage is nice. After our almost 3 weeks there, we did notice items that need attention to: 1. The BBQ is very nice and clean, but the starter on it did not work and there was no alternative way to start it. We purchased a candle lighter. 2. The garburator did not work but since we don’t use a garburator, it was not a big issue for us. 3. The back patio has solar lights on the fence which is a nice touch. The solar panel was installed facing into the palm trees and not to the sun, so they didn’t work. 4. The kitchen could be better stocked. The wine opener was broken beyond use and there were no wine glasses in the place. We purchased. There was not a casserole dish (or any other oven proof dishes) that could go in the oven. 5. Kitchen is dark and could use some under cabinet lighting. 6. Pictures show a lounger in the back yard but there is no lounger. 7. Book in cottage says there is a cooler and ice packs in the kitchen but we couldn’t find them. 8. Sheets, pillows, towels and beach chairs are well worn. 9. The place could use a good cleaning. Especially the floors, windows, fan light covers, shower and the shower curtain. 10. You can see daylight under the front door and the patio screen is pushed out on the bottom and has a tear in the screen. With this being ground floor, this should be closed up to help prevent the bugs from coming in. The cottage has great potential but needs some attention to details.

Okay but pricey
The A/C, laundry, and TV system are great, and the storage is ample. The lanai is sunny, private, and gives a nice sense of space. The general location is good, and the neighborhood is mostly quiet, but the road outside is very close and fairly busy for the area – not the best if you’re bothered by traffic. The living room is fine for two but probably not for more. There’s an awkward step down between the kitchen and living room. The bathroom sink area is great, but the shower/toilet is badly cramped — there’s maybe a foot between the shower and the toilet, and even less than that between the front of the toilet and the wall; it would not be workable for anyone with mobility issues or for larger people. Overall, for two fit adults it was okay but pricey.

Great location
Loved the location, bed was super comfy. Bathroom is odd and a bit cramped. Some of the beach supplies were a little beat up (chair had broken backpack straps, snorkels were dirty). Kitchen was pretty well stocked, but the oven doesn’t open all the way, so it only worked a bit. Laundry didn’t have detergent, but was extremely strongly scented from previous detergents. Washed a load of clothes without adding any detergent and they still came out really perfumed. We loved being able to walk down right into the heart of Kihei!

This cottage is exactly as disclosed on VRBO both in terms of narrative and photos. Quiet, residential neighborhood near the beach and shops. We emailed the owners twice with questions and they responded immediately. We ate at the cottage a lot and enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and barbecue in our private yard. All positive, no negatives.

Ideal location to experience Maui
This cottage is in a great location - Kihei is the perfect town to experience island life and it's easy to get anywhere else on the island. The house is a nice spot for 2 people, clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Agree with another guest that the bathroom was cramped/small, but manageable. Nice to have access to washer/dryer, too. Fenced back yard was great - gave us a place to dry our beach items. We were out and about every day, so spent very little time actually in the house.
