PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING: If you have more than 10 guests the cottage will need to be booked as Maui's rental permit law requires 2 guests per room. That being said, children under the age of 3 can stay with their parents in the same room and not count toward the occupancy rate. As the main house only has 5 rooms, it can only sleep 10 guests. To rent the cottage adds an extra $250 per night and has a $200 cleaning fee. If you do instant booking, the cottage will not be automatically booked, but it will be added through a payment request should your party be over 10 guests. Should your party include 10 guests + some children under the age of 3, it will be up to the owners discretion whether the cottage needs to be rented or not.
Also, please ask us about our payment options if you would like to pay over 2 or 3 installments.
1505 Halama Street also known as HOALOHA HALE (translated 'Friends House') is a legally permitted (STKM 2017/0005) home located across the street from the beach in beautiful Kihei Maui. This traditional Hawaiian home features a 5 bedrooms / 3 bath main house and a separate studio cottage with its own bathroom and kitchen (making for a 6 bed / 4 bath combination if desired). Both the home and cottage have large lanai areas for lounging, BBQing, and relaxing during the warm and tropical evenings. Enjoy the beautiful tropical climate outside, and still remain comfortable inside with air conditioning throughout the home and cottage.
This main house is perfect for families that want to have enough bedrooms and space to enjoy their time together. The upstairs portion of the main house has soaring ceilings and a loft game area for kids. The open floor plan on the second floor is perfect for relaxing together with family, cooking a nice meal, and enjoying indoor outdoor living. Move freely from the living room and kitchen area onto an expansive wrap around Lanai.
The first floor is also very nice, with two bedrooms its own living room area, and an outdoor rear patio. Both the upstairs living area and downstairs living areas are very comfortable and have large flat screen TVs.
The cottage is perfect for someone in the family that may need a little more privacy and space. The cottage also has soaring ceilings and is configured as a large open studio with a gourmet kitchen, TV, air conditioning, full bath, walk in closet, and separate lanai.
HOALOHA HALE is situated in a beautiful neighborhood with multi-million dollar homes. The street is safe, has hardly any traffic, and is right across the street from a beautiful beach. Two blocks to the west you'll enjoy a large park with tennis courts, baseball & soccer fields, outdoor roller rink, running tracks along the ocean, and more beautiful beaches. Downtown Kihei is also within walking distance. There you will enjoy shopping, dining, and all the local flare this beach town has to offer.
Here are just some of the attractions, restaurants, and everyday living features you will have access to when you stay at HOALOHA HALE.
GOLF
If you've come to maui to enjoy Golf, you've come to the right part of the island. Just a mile from the house is the Maui Nui Golf Club and less the 5 miles from the house are the Wailea Gold Course, Emerald Golf Course, and Wailea Blue Golf Course (each of which are fantastic and have amazing views of the ocean and surrounding countryside). I personally like golfing on the Kihei/Wailea side of the island, becuase the wind in far less severe than the Kaanapali/Kapalua side of the island.
RESTAURANTS
Less than a five minute walk from the house is Pizza Madness Maui, which offers a 4+ star pizza and sandwiches. Other food options that are less than a mile away are Coconut's Fish Cafe, Nalu's South Shore Grill, Fabiani's Bakery, Eskimo Candy, Outback Steak House, Ekolu Kitchen, Starbucks, Paia Fish Market S. Side, Kihei Cafe, South Maui Fish Co., Outrigger Pizza, Maui Brewing Company, etc., (AND THAT'S WITHIN THE FIRST MILE). Within a five-six mile radius you get into other amazing places, like the fabulous Restaurant at the Hotel Wailea (one of the best high-end restaurants on the island!!), Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman's, The Five Palms, Sorento's on the Beach, Ka Ana Kitchen, the list goes on and on. Bottom line, you will not go hungry staying at our house and there is a lot to choose from (both familiar and with local flare).
ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS
The house is near a ton of great tours and attractions. Some of the best snorkeling companies run right in Kihei, less than 5-10 minutes from the house. For bigger boating experiences (i.e. dinner/sunset cruises, fishing charters, Molokini Excursions, etc.) the Maalaea Harbor is only 8 miles from the house. Maui Dive shop is a five minute walk. Canoe, Kayak, surfboard rentals less than mile from the house. Kalama State park which has soccer fields, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and running paths along the beach is only a few blocks from the house. Day trips to other parts of the island are also super easy and convenient as the house is only a few miles from the major thoroughfares that will take you to Hana, Paia, Makawao and other communities that are all unique and fun to visit.
SHOPPING
Check out all the great shops in the Kalama Village and Kihei Town center less than mile away. Also drive down to the great shops in downtown Wailea about 5 minutes away.
BEACHES
Some of the best beaches on the island, from Halama beach right across the street from the house, to all the Kamaole beaches that line S. Kihei Rd. Drive a short 5 miles toward Wailea and experience some of the great beaches that the large resorts have to offer (all are open to the public). Drive a little further (approximately 9 miles) and you'll reach Makena State Park with the beautiful Makena Beach, Makena Cove, and Little beach (clothing optional).
So much to enjoy, you'll never have a dull time visiting this magical place!!
