Update: The Maui county council has approved the ban on short term condo rentals, effective 12/31/2030. There may have been some concern that this would cover rental properties like ours. It does not. Hopefully this provides some clarity if you have been following this process and were concerned about booking in the next couple of years.
Come and enjoy our wonderful beach house with great three island ocean and mountain views. You are renting the middle level. We live upstairs so someone is always here to deal with any questions or problems. Please note that we have a lovable dog on the top level with us. But you have your own separate entrance and we really try to make it feel like have the place to yourselves. The ground level has game tables and other fun stuff for your use.

There is a propane barbecue area downstairs with dining tables there as well. There is a washer and dryer, as well as a second set in the 4th bedroom. High speed internet is complementary.
We have a covered, wrap around lanai of about 1,000 square feet. The views, both of the mountains and the ocean, are amazing (see photos). In season you can see the whales. This is a fairly bug free area being so close to the water, so you can enjoy this at night as well as in the day time – or in the rain. The property is surrounded by 6 foot rock wall for privacy. There is an automatic gate on the driveway, which is off Waimahaihai St..

Our property is on the corner of Waimahaihai and Halama Street on a cul-de-sac and just two houses away from the wonderful Kalama Park, a spacious 36-acre beach park that has lots of stuff to keep the whole family active and entertained. Sports events, outdoor concerts and festivals often take place here. There's also lighted basketball and tennis courts, a roller skating rink, a 20,000-foot skateboard park, football, baseball and soccer fields and a giant playground for children. The waterfront here is also a favorite fishing spot of the locals. The beach park is a great spot for picnics, and you can sit and watch turtles cruise by. There are picnic tables, twelve pavilions, restrooms and showers. 
We are one house away from the ocean so you can enjoy the cool breeze and the sounds of the surf. The property itself is professionally landscape with a pond with a waterfall and we are surrounded by flowering trees and plants. Sometimes it is just nice to watch the butterflies and dragonflies swoop all around. We are right across the narrow street from what we call “the World’s Smallest Beach”. This is great for launching your kayaks or whatever. There are also many other beaches within walking distance. If you are familiar with Halama Street, we are on the non-ocean front side of the street, though we have unobstructed direct ocean views.
Halama Street is a hidden ocean front oasis and the street is one of the area’s favorite walking routes. There are a half dozen beach access paths along the street with the larger beaches to the north end of the street. You can also work for miles from there on the sand to Maalaea. There are certain neighborhoods in Maui—many of them not so well known—that have retained their personalities through the years, even as Maui’s demographic and vibe have changed. Halama Street is such a neighborhood, and many of its residents have lived on the street for decades. There is a private security patrol on the street.
We are less than a 5 minute walk for the new movie theater, Starbucks. at least a dozen nice restaurants, the surf school, a great ocean walking path, craft and gift shops the Foodland store, and the Kihei Library.
Please note that we have a dog, and we live in the top floor above the area that is rented. This is not a safety issue at all, but anyone with significant allergies should understand this situation. The dogs is very friendly. You may occasionally encounter her in the yard, but we would always be walking her..
On the other end of the property, there is an Ohana that is rented long term to a quiet family. Their yard is separated from the BnB yard by the pond area and other fencing.

Great Kihei Maui 4 Bedroom Beach House

Mark’s place was the absolutely perfect place for our recent getaway to Maui. 

The place is exactly as advertised and the interior turned out to be a little larger than we expected. We comfortably fit 12 adults in the house and never felt cramped. (We rented the additional 4th bedroom to make this possible.) We spent most of our time on the amazing porch deck but made a point to be inside by 9pm each night so to not violate the neighborhood’s quiet hours. This didn’t feel like an impediment on our trip at all. The house is within walking distance of great places to eat, a beautiful beach walk (we saw so many turtles!) and a great tiny beach to launch the kayaks/paddle boards/etc. that the house comes with.








 I’m so grateful we found this place and we will absolutely be coming back the next time we get a big group to Maui.

Perfect place

Mark provided several amenities such as beach equipment, pool access, things to do while at the AirBNB such as pool and ping pong, board games, comfortable rooms and it was a very close walk to the beach, food trucks, and other destinations we needed to get to. Very accommodating host, and always responded quickly if we did have any questions!

Amazing stay

Our group had a wonderful time. The ocean view from the lanai and birds chirping was so nice to wake up to each morning. My kids loved the pool and pool table. A good selection of restaurants / food trucks are only a short walk away, as is the ocean. Good swimming and sandy beaches require a long walk or a short drive but are plentiful in Kihei. Mark promptly took care of any needs or questions we had. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Wonderful time

Mark was an excellent host and his place was amazing. We had a large family stay and with the extra room we were all comfortable. The activities that Mark provides at the house were essential. Tennis racquets for the courts next door, basketball for the court next door, Stand-Up Paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel equipment, we used it all and it made our stay even better. I didn't even mention the pool, which was perfect after a morning paddle board session. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing!

We
 are a group of four adults who stayed here for two weeks. By far the biggest pluses of this place are the gear the owner made available and the proximity to the ocean/park/grocery store/restaurants. We went out on paddle boards and kayaks regularly in the mornings via a beach access location basically across the street. We probably saw 10-15 different sea turtles on each outing and one lucky morning watched whales breaching to the Northwest from the paddleboards. We dabbled in catching waves on paddle boards.There was plenty of high-quality snorkel gear available and we checked out Kapalua Bay, Maluaka Beach, and Makena Landing Park, all of which offered plenty of coral, tropical fish, and sea turtles.On multiple occasions we just walked to the grocery store to pick up groceries and on most nights walked to restaurants as well. Outrigger Pizze Co., Paia Fish Market, and Lava Rock Bar & Grill were all favorites within walking distance.Probably the only downside to this place is the lack of interior common space, there beingjust one central room with the kitchen, couch and TV, but the exterior space more than makes up for it. The wraparound balcony has a dining table and three other distinct lounging areas, and the ground floor has more tables and lounge areas in addition to the entire pool area. There is more than enough room for everyone to have their personal space.Pretty much every time we had a question for Mark, he answered within minutes, and he proactively notified us when the pool cleaner was going to be around or anything else of note was occurring. Overall it was a great experience.
