Beach house vacation rentals in Makena Bay

Nice cozy spot near the beach. It was quiet, easily accessible and the hosts (both virtual and in-person) were friendly. Would stay here again!

Aloha Aku has been everything we wanted, and more. The photos and descriptions don't do it justice. We were originally booked for five days, but extended our trip twice, for a total of 10 days because everything here is just so perfect!

The condo was perfect! Very quiet property and the water view was wonderful. Unfortunately, we just missed whale season but still enjoyed watching the kayakers going by. The kitchen had every item we needed and the washer/dryer was so appreciated. The elevator in the building is very efficient and parking was no problem at all. The location is excellent…not in a busy area and very easy to get to everything on the island. We will be back!

Annie is a great host, the home was clean and comfortable. The beach a minute or two walk. The pool is close to the condo, about a minute too. We slept peacefully in the comfortable beds, the kitchen was well stocked, and the place is beautiful and comforting. We sat outside to drink coffee in the mornings and it felt like home, but better.

Great location. Had a minor issue, but Lisa was on top of it . Making sure we were enjoying our trip. Would recommend to anyone visiting Maui! Mahalo!

Absolutely perfect! Beautiful beach access with great walkability to local restaurants and shops. This place was peaceful and quiet! Great sunset view from the balcony. The space was clean and very easy to find. The beach made for great turtle watching.

Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL stay. I mean it when I say photos do not do this place an ounce of justice. Upon arrival, I was greeted with spectacular views, impeccable decor, and a spotlessly clean and comfortable spot for a large group in what is easily the best location in Maui. Watching the sunset from the lanai was breathtaking and perhaps my favorite part of the whole trip. I’ve stayed at a lot of places on Maui over the years, and this is one place I can say for certain I will be coming back to. Oh - and the guidebook was a great touch for local tips!

Great and comfortable stay. Loved the sunset views. Very walkable beach right out front, and it was great having all the accessories like beach chairs and other gear available to take to nearby snorkeling spots and coves. Gary and Sarah and the Aloha Aku team were communicative and quick to reply, and they'll really have pit a lot of energy into making the property inviting and relaxing. Note - the bathroom is within the bedroom area and not fully enclosed, so there's not much privacy in that regard. Not an issue, just something to be aware of if booking as a group.

When we arrived, we got confused trying to find the entrance, but if you read the instructions carefully, you should be fine! I had the most communication and clearer instructions here than anywhere else I've stayed with AirBnB-like places! The property is beautiful, the beach there is great for walks and sights, but not the best for swimming/snorkeling as it is usually murky. The hot tub and pools are really neat. The accommodations are exactly as described and really well done.

We had a great time staying here! The place was exactly what I expected. Loved using the pool, and both the bed and couch bed were comfy. Sad to have to leave!

Serene and peaceful! Just about everything needed to make all the typical activities convenient, including all of the equipment, beach towels and chairs, etc. A very quiet and private environment. Can’t wait to come back!

Gary's condo is on a private beach with private pool and hot tub. The common area has all the amenities you could ask for. Very impressed!

Stayed just over 3 weeks in this spectacular unit. Well appointed, incredible views, so clean! It was fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. Full size toiletries in bathrooms, tons of clean linens, soap, detergent, cleaning supplies, and toilet paper to cover our entire stay. We felt right at home. Andre was responsive and immediately assisted when we had an issue with the AC unit in the second bedroom upon arrival. There is ongoing construction in the complex, but it didn't affect our building or interrupt our stay at all. Parking is open season during this construction period, which turned out great because we could choose any open spot - super convenient and tons of availability. Kamaole Sands is our fav complex in Kihei and we are already planning our return visit. Will definitely stay in this unit over and over again.

lots of room for the family and amazing location close to everything and right on a very calm and beautiful beach

The coconut cottage is an ideal base for Maui adventures! Large, spacious property to easily accommodate up to 6-8 people - with a full functioning kitchen, 2.5 baths, large backyard and a lovely front-facing deck. We had the most luxurious and comfy stay, and lots of fun family memories in the main living area. The property is located in Kihei, with quick access to the beach, shopping and local markets. Marc is the most gracious host, and was incredibly accommodating, easily accessible and super kind. 10/10 recommend!!!! Would love to come back at some stage :)

My husband and I stayed in this unit for 2 weeks over the Christmas period with our two children. we found the unit to be very well equipped with everything we could have needed for our stay. the kitchen in particular was great with newer cabinets and marble-look countertop - it was all very easy to keep clean through our stay. The washer and dryer inside the unit was a plus and super convenient - it meant that we could pack less for our trip since we could do laundry throughout our stay. The suite overlooked the ocean and the pickleball courts, so there was always some people-watching potential. As a relatively small complex, it was nice to recognize faces at the pool or in the parking lot throughout our stay - it does have the feel of a small community. The location of the complex itself was wonderful. it had the convenience of being very close to all the restaurants of Kihei without being directly in the action. This meant less traffic but could pick up takeout within 5 minutes.

My sisters and I had a wonderful stay. We grew up on the island and came back to visit for a family event. It was wonderful to stay somewhere that was so convenient. It totally met our needs for location and amenities. Although it is a one bedroom, having a second bathroom was a big plus in choosing a place to stay. The beach is right there and we enjoyed watching the sunsets. The grounds are beautiful. Plenty of restaurants to choose from just a short drive away. We hope to stay again.

Wonderful to stay at Leanne’s place! Great spot to work remotely while enjoying Maui. And such a responsive and helpful host! Strongly recommend!

This is really well situated. A hundred feet from the back door and you are on the beach. Wake to the sounds of the birds from the adjacent wildlife refuge. It's intimate, with only four rental units in the building. No big hotels in the area, so the beach is uncrowded, and has basking sea turtles! Beautiful sunsets. They could have had 5 units, but kindly equipped the middle unit as a common room where departing guests leave food, drinks, and supplies like sunscreen, bug spray, etc. Free snorkeling and beach supplies, bikes with lights/locks/helmets, boogie and paddleboards, an ocean kayak, TONS of movies, books, and CDs. Our unit was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was equipped with everything except a dishwasher and a full-size oven (there is big high quality toaster oven). Note the toilet/shower area is open at the top. Gary and his team communicated clearly for entry and exit but otherwise left us alone unless we had a question. Would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely 2 weeks at Luana Kai. Our condo was clean and had everything we needed for our time there. There was plenty to do right in Kihei and we had a great time.

Andre was a tremendous host. He was promptly responsive to our questions and requests. His condo is beautiful and well-equipped. The view from the lanai and every room was spectacular. My wife and I would love to stay here again.
