Escape the traffic and the touristy areas yet be right on the ocean watching sunrises and moon rises over the ocean, surfers, whales, windsurfers and kite surfers. Our location is central to all the places you will want to go and we are at your service to share our knowledge and love of Maui (by email and phone until vaccine or treatment for Covid 19).

The Space
Our cottage was built in 2012 and we welcomed our first guests in 2013. It has all appliances , comfy Serta bed, all-cotton bedding, pillows, towels, etc. Sliding mirrored doors separate the bedroom from main room. The cottage sits across from the beach below our upscale neighborhood and your only neighbor is a doctor on one side and us up the hill behind in the home we bought in 1999.

Air-conditioning, washer and dryer, Netflix and Direct TV! And we have an AED in the main house, a Christmas gift from our son!

Cottage is stocked with coffee, tea and condiments, fruits and bagels or pastries and butter in the freezer to get you started on breakfast. We provide you with snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, etc. and give you tips on good things to do and things to avoid.

Separate bedroom and bathroom has 2 doors so there is privacy if one person wants to sleep and the other stay up or get up. Plenty of room for two or for a family with a child who can sleep in a crib (available to rent from No Ka Oi Baby Rentals) or on the couch.

The area we are in is called 'Central Maui' because you can easily drive to everywhere else. Yet our particular location feels more like country with open beach and ocean in front and to the north. Be aware that there is no commercial business within walking distance but the beach and a golf course are there for pleasure walking!

Guest Access
Anywhere on the property.

Interaction with Guests

At the discretion of our guests. Some have become best friends; some we've never met.

The Neighborhood

Our neighborhood is upscale, our neighbors really friendly owners. The beach is right across the road in front of the cottage and when the surf is big, it's great to watch the surfers there. When there's no surf, the beach is empty. We love it both ways! It's not a swimming beach but those are a short drive away and by staying here, one avoids the touristy, hot, dusty surroundings of the beach cities

Getting around

We have a bus system and Jordan and I can drop guests off on our way places but a car really is recommended as only tour buses go up into the valleys and up to the top of Haleakala.

Other Things to Note

We stayed in a B & B years ago in Switzerland and the women treated us like family and it had such a positive impact on us that we try to do the same and make our guests feel at home. On the other hand, you may want to just do your own thing and that's perfectly fine, too.

The communication was top notch. From how to navigate to the property to information about places and things to do. We stayed busy but enjoyed being able to come back daily to a warm comfortable home away from home. One the best places we have ever stayed in. The home was clean and situated in a wonderful neighborhood and just a few yards from the beach. So many details were taken care of by our host. Having warm clothes available just in case we wanted to go to the top of Haliaka, which we did do. To having a portable cooler and ice packs so we could hike and picnic and not feel like we had to eat out constantly while traveling around the island. Too many details to list. Definitely we felt the local Mahalo.

Great Week on Maui
The owners are incredible at communicating with you and accommodating any of your needs throughout the reservation process and during your stay. They are so very kind and really want their guests to have a great time. We loved the view, quiet house, and air conditioning for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Quiet Retreat and Exceptional location for exploring
Superbly appointed bungalow for quiet retreat! Had everything we needed (and more!) for our week stay. From coffee and breakfast provided to umbrellas and rain ponchos for hiking to boogie boards and beach chairs - they had it available! Found it conveniently located for morning trips out to Iao Valley, Haleakalā National Park, PacWhale Eco Adventure, and an organic Coffee Farm tour and Brunch at O’O Farm. We enjoyed evening strolls on the many beaches nearby and lots of nights sitting out on the deck for dinner and listening to the waves = heaven. Hosts were extremely accommodating and went over and beyond. Will return again to this beauty for certain! HIGHLY recommend.

Quiet retreat with roaring surfs and all the comforts of home!
We enjoyed 3 days at this comfortable cottage. It was well outfitted with lots of helpful hints from the host. The location was convenient for day trips but it was also a perfect spot for a quiet rest with easy access to beach. We hope to return! Margo and Dave, Ont. Can.

Great beachfront
This cottage is in a residential neighborhood and right across the street from the beach. Gail and Jordan, the owners are very communicative and helpful. The cottage itself is peaceful, well appointed and the listing is accurate. This is a great place to stay if you’re into surfing or wind sports and want to be off the beaten path of the main tourist areas. Recommended!

Great Little House
We really enjoyed our stay in the quiet neighborhood. The beach was right across the street and one could see the sunrises from the porch. The house was clean and well stocked. We used the beach chairs everyday. Gail even let us use her card for a discount on groceries. She was a wonderful host.

Simply Wonderful
We could not have asked for better hosts for this perfectly located waterfront cottage. Everything we could have possibly needed and more. Gail and Jordan were so accommodating and had all kinds of extras waiting for us. You really don’t need to bring much with you except for a few changes of clothing since you can do laundry on-site. We will be packing much lighter the next time. I have never slept so good and had a totally stress free week. Can’t wait to come back. Mahalo Gail and Jordan! Maui no ka oi. Sincerely, Shane and Angie.

5 Stars isn't enough!
Gail and Jordan's cottage is everything we could have asked for and more. The property is beautiful, well take care of, and secluded. The view from the cottage couldn't be better. Ocean view from the bed? Yes please! The personal touches in the cottage were all perfect. There were snacks, food, and drinks in the fridge already. Everything about the cottage was just wonderful. Gail and Jordan made the check-in and check-out process seamless. If/when we get back to Maui, we will be returning to stay here, and we'll recommend it to anyone traveling to Maui. 100% recommend booking this cottage.

Ideal vacation
Really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. So close to the ocean. Enjoyed waking up each morning and watching the sunrise with the sound of the waves while sitting on the porch. The location was ideal for setting out on our daily adventures: whale watching from Maalaea and a sunset sail from Lahaina and snorkeling from Wailea. Gail and Jordan were great hosts. They provided for all our needs with timely emails on what to expect before arrival, a well stocked refrigerator and quick responses when we had questions. Loved the guitar sitting in the living room. Perfect four days!

Great relaxation vacation stay for family of 4
Wonderful view from the living room and back porch. Kids loved running around outside in the gated and protected grounds chasing chickens and catching lizards. The hosts provided the kitchen with what we needed for breakfasts and drinks to get our vacation started. We didn’t need to do a grocery run right away which was refreshing. The beach is across the street. Great for kids to play in the sand and we had our coffee and drinks. We felt safe and the place was clean. We are glad we stayed here even driving to Lahaina and Kihei throughout the trip. Hosts were kind and always available for anything we needed.

Wonderful stay at an amazing property!
This was a genuine memorable experience. A sweet cottage located right near the ocean with amazing views ... how could we not enjoy this? The owners were wonderful and paid close attention to every detail in making sure that our stay was complete and comfortable. The location is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the town, yet close to many good restaurants and shopping opportunities. The owners took the time and care to make sure that our every need was fulfilled, and that we were well informed as to all of the local attractions. This VRBO rates a pure ten on our scale! Well done Gail and Jordan! Fred and Andrea Costanzo Kamuela (Big Island), Hawaii

Great Vacation
We spent five days at this property and cannot say enough good about it. The cottage is absolutely perfect, the location is beachfront so that from the deck we were able to watch the waves, the surfers and the whales. Gail and Jordan are wonderful hosts and were available for any questions that we had. The freezer was stocked with bagels and there were cold drinks waiting in the refrigerator for us when we arrived. There was shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower and laundry detergent in the laundry room. This is truly the nicest rental property that I have ever stayed in, for many reasons. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is considering it.
