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.

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.

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.

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.

Cozy home away from home
This was one of the best parts of our Maui trip! Having such a lovely, relaxing, fully stocked home base made everyday so stress free and enjoyable. Watching sunrise and sunset from the patio, listening to the waves every night, what more could you ask for? Well anything else and it’s probably already provided in the cottage! Everything we needed and more was right there for our convenience. It was a great central hub to the whole rest of the island. Gail & Jordan even provided some excellent tips for the rest of our vacation. We also got their car add on and made getting to & from the airport extra easy. We will 300% be staying here next time we visit Maui!

Cute place
The place was cute. We loved that they provided us with snacks and good information on things to do. However, we realized it was an odd location to go and do things. The beach across the street isn’t nice. There were ants throughout the kitchen. We could not keep the place cool enough. Things were sort of cluttered and on weird spots. But, the spot worked for us to sleep at.

18 yr anniversary, cute cottage
Very cute cottage, beautiful view and very nice setup. Stayed here for our 18th wedding anniversary and was Nice to be on quieter side of the island and enjoy alittle more privacy. Only 30 minute, or so ,drive to great south shore beaches and 45-60 to west shore hot spots. Closer to drive the road to Hana, and Mt Haleakala thanj staying the the resorty area. Host live right behind cottage and we're helpful if we needed anything. Cottage well stocked with many small items sometimes needed( toothpaste, baggies, coolers etc) Also small welcome package with some different Maui snacks was a nice touch. Also was nice that Hosts also have a car for rent and could make renting car a a place to stay an easy and smooth process.

Wonderful hosts!
Located by a beach for surfing we had wonderful views of the water and and area for nice walks! The house is comfortable and well equipped. We could watch the ocean from the kitchen table while eating breakfast. Gail and Jordan were exceptional hosts and had us follow them to Iao Valley State Park for a guided tour! They are so knowledgeable and great advocates for the island! We got to know the local side of Maui whcih we missed when. we went to a resort to end our vacation. Word of caution for beaches--Makena Beach is so very beautiful...but the waves can get unexpectedly rough. This had nothing to do with how wonderful our VRBO rental was.

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!

Our own oasis!
Gail and Jordan were wonderful, attentive hosts. Everything was as advertised and when Gail tells you to just bring your personal belongings and clothes, it's true. They've thought of everything you might need. The cottage is light and airy with a deck where you can watch the crashing waves while you eat or relax. The property is private with a well maintained yard. We loved being in a quiet neighborhood across from a beach that locals use for surfing and fishing. You have all the amenities you need close by and it doesn't take long to get to the other side to snorkel and swim. We are thankful we had the wonderful waves to watch instead of looking into someone else's condo. This place is a gem!

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.
