Villa 2 at Villas By The Cove is a spacious garden view 1 bedroom Villa Suite located just steps from two of South Maui's most popular white sand beaches. Newly remodeled and conveniently located, this 600 sq. ft. single story 1 bedroom villa offers ocean views, privacy and comfort set back in a tropical lush garden filled with mango and palm trees. Villa 2 sleeps two adults in one King bed and one adult or two small children on the full size sofa bed in the living room. The King bed can be reconfigured in to two twin beds upon request.

Villa 2 features a living room with A/C, high speed wifi, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable king bed, full bathroom with a walk-in shower, private covered lanai and gated parking. Designed to feel like a second home, this villa is conveniently supplied with all of your travel-related “extra” needs such as an iron and ironing board, tupperware, wine glasses, dishwasher soap capsules, oversized beach towels, and a clothes drying rack for wet swimsuits after playing in the ocean across the street. Basics such as plush bath towels, linens, kitchen rags, a set of travel size shampoo and soap, dish soap, salt, pepper, and olive oil are provided as well. Two communal gas bbq grills and a complimentary washer and dryer are located on property and laundry detergent is provided.

Great property in Kihei
This is my forth time staying at the Villas at the Cove and I have now enjoyed three separate units. I must say that they are all very modern, comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The property is an oasis in the little corner of Cove park.

Nice place!
The condo is super clean, everything seemed brand new. They provide beach chairs, boogie boards and a cooler for each unit which is a nice touch. It’s a small gated complex with a great pool which we often had to ourselves. It’s located in busy Kihei but there are beaches (right across the street) and a lot of walkable and delicious food options nearby. We enjoyed our stay.

Loved the place! Clean, beautiful and the common area was perfect. The only complaint I have is that the bed is WAY too hard to sleep in. The last two nights my husband slept in the couch and I slept on couch cushions. Needs a new mattress.

Villas at the Cove
The pictures were accurate. The location across from the Cove offered wonderful sunsets and views of the neighboring islands. I did have a few issues with the unit in question. The first was the cleanliness of the area rug. It was extremely dirty for such a nice place. I could tell it was shampooed, but it was still damp and had an odor. 2nd, our kitchen window shade was not cut properly, so it did not offer privacy as it ought. 3rd, due to the setup and nature of the villas, it's be nice to have a privacy window tint. I would say smoked tint to still allow light, but aid in the privacy factor. Lastly, the bed was VERY hard. I still liked and enjoyed the venue. I would rent again.

Great location and place
What the pics don't really describe is that you are in a small compound of about 9 villas. They all surround a great pool and common area. You are across from a small park but if you walk left around the corner, you end up on a long and pretty beach. You are also about a 10 minute walk from grocery stores and restaurants. The only negative experience was the firmness of the bed. The bed was rock hard and too firm for our taste. Like your hips hurt in the morning kind of hard. Other than that, the place was great. It would also be a great place for families if you can figure out how to rent multiple bungalows to accommodate large get togethers. On a side note, we really liked Maui. We live on Oahu but Maui was all the things we like about Hawaii but at a slower place. And that quietness was a nice change in terms of traffic, people, parking, etc.

Great time in Maui!
My husband and I had an excellent time in the villa we rented in Kihei for our honeymoon! The residence was very clean and was furnished with everything we needed. When we arrived, we were shown around by the property manager, so that we were familiar with all the facilities. Our villa was right across from an excellent beach as well. Communication with the property manager was great; he answered all of our questions very quickly! We definately plan on returning to this location for another visit and we would recommend this villa to everyone we know.

Beautiful place & Great location
This home has been remodeled beautifully. We were fortunately able to get upgraded as surrounding construction was happening. The property upgrades look like they will be awesome! Gal & Shahaf were great to deal with and very personable. We loved the location close to the cove & surfing, plus a short walk to good food including Kihei Cafe and Paia Fish Market. We would love to stay again if circumstances allow. Thank you!

Excellent and convenient. Kihei was near to everything we needed - beach, golf, food,
Villa was very cozy for the two of us. Nice kitchen and amenities. Lovely bath and shower. Sofa table was pretty but a bit dangerous with its sharp glass corners and being a bit larger than necessary for the room size. Plenty of closet and drawer space. Ample kitchenware and appliances to cook when we wanted to stay in. Parking spot for Villa 2 was tricky but manageable. Felt very secure all the time and noise from adjacent beach lot was only loud until a bit after dark, then fine. Loved being able to walk to watch sunset, walk to secluded beach and walk to nearby shops/food. Price and location were perfect for us and would come back here again without reservation. Hoping to be doing that soon.

We loved this tastefully remodeled little bungalow
Villa 2 at the Villas by the Cove is a wonderful place. They owners have thought of everything to make our stay effortless. The place is so centrally located to everything. We walked to the beach every evening to watch the sun set and we walked into town for dinner and shopping. We paddle boarded to watch the sun rise over the Haleakala volcano. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Great villa, affordable price!
We stayed here early December 2017, and were very impressed with the villa overall. It was extremely clean, obviously newly renovated. We couldn't be more happy. But, I do warn: no ventilation fan in the bathroom. Buy aerosol... The ceiling fan in the bedroom was noisy. And my biggest annoyance, the pillows were too flat. I should have bought my own. Those were my minor issues with the villa. The villa is directly across from a small cove (hence.. the name...). Well, come to find out this cove became a small gathering spot for locals at night. They would BBQ, drink, have a good time. Overall this didn't bother me, but occasionally late at night we were disturbed by loud yelling and arguing. I'm hyper sensitive to safety, and being that our bed was by a sliding glass door right next to the streetwise by the Cove, I would have felt safer with a little more protection. In the mornings, there was a local fisherman in the corner of the Cove fishing, and tweaking out. Probably from drugs. It was bad. He yelled loudly and punched himself. I nearly called the police. He was there most mornings we were there. Aside from those concerns, this villa was perfect. Price was right. It was decently located. Easy walk to breakfast. Great ammendaties. Beautiful island. Couldn't have been happier for the price.
