About this property

Spectacular Oceanfront Home! Watch turtles from deck while relaxing in the spa!!

Located on Maui's South Shore in the heart of beautiful Makena Bay, this single story oceanfront cottage is an island paradise. Built over 60 years ago and recently remodeled, guests are provided with all the modern conveniences for an incredible vacation. We recently added an oceanview window in the middle bedroom, installed luxury vinyl floors and completely remodeled the kitchen and bathroom.

The large sliding glass doors in the family room open to a lanai (deck) with a panoramic view of the neighboring islands of Molokini, Kaho'olawa and Lana'i. If you include the view of West Maui and the western edge of Moloka'i on a clear day, you have a five island view from the lanai. The ocean's high water mark is a mere fifteen feet away! From the spa and the lanai one can enjoy the famous Maui sunsets while watching the large green sea turtles frolicking in the surf. During the winder months, the humpback whales can be seen as they migrate along the coast.

For five years Maui has been named the 'World's Best Island' by the readers of Travel & Leisure Magazine. Conde Nast Travel Magazine has rated Maui the 'Best Island in the World' for twelve consecutive years. Some of the islands best diving and snorkeling are directly in front of you while close by one can enjoy world famous restaurants, golf, tennis, shopping and white sand beaches. The sound of the waves lapping on the rocks plus the star studded nights make this quaint oceanfront cottage the perfect tropical paradise!

Paradise
This is our 4th time staying at Makena Cottage, so it’s long been a preferred destination. We loved it before, and the recent updates have upped the wow factor. The house is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. The lanai is our usual hangout spot to watch turtles, sunsets, waves, and whales.

Cottage Getaway
This home is a wonderful retreat from every day hustle and bustle. It is perfectly located so close to activities, etc. yet secluded from the resort crowds. The sunsets and stargazing cannot be beat, either!

One of our favorite stays of all time!
First of all the location could not have been better, with turtles literally grazing in the rocky cove a few feet from the deck. A short 2 minute walk and you have access to one of the nicest snorkeling and kayaking bays in Maui, and just a few minutes in the other direction a great swimming beach. House was well equipped and comfortable. Bedrooms were small and not much sound-proofing between them but since there were only two of us it didn’t matter. Hot tub on the deck was an added bonus. There was some construction noise during the day but wasnt intolerable. New home behind may eventually impact the privacy of the hot tub but I’m sure owners will figure out how to restore privacy.

Why they chose this property

Old Authentic Hawaii at it's Best! The house sits 10 feet from the high water mark! Nothing is more peaceful than sitting on the lanai and watching the surf and sunsets each day. Most travelers pay considerable amounts to take boat rides and snorkel in front of the property. You will have it all immediately in front of the house!

What makes this property unique

The house has one indoor shower and two outdoor showers tied into the hot water heater. One connected to an overhead pull chain and one handheld shower to wash off the sand after a day at the beach before entering the house. Absolutely amazing views!!
