Cottage vacation rentals in Makena

Jenni’s little Maui bungalow is a true gem! It was clean, charming and stocked with all of the amenities you could ask for. I didn’t realize how streamlined (and less wasteful!) an air bnb stay could be until staying at Jenni’s. She has truly thought of everything a traveler could want or need— from salt and pepper to beach towels to incredible local recommendations. She made our stay pleasant, convenient and relaxing. My husband and I hope to return one day soon!

We LOVED everything about this location. Iao Valley is so special and the location of the AirBNB itself was perfect for getting all around the island. We visited at the end of March and never ran the AC once. It was hot during the afternoon but the morning/late afternoon/evening cool off, with the winds blowing into the valley were so perfect. AND the birdsong in the morning was so beautiful that I recorded it and sent it to my family (minus the rooster song- but that's just Maui living for ya). If you want a good cocktail check out Ester's Fair Prospect, they have a nice selection of liquor and a fun vibe, located in the city of Wailuku right next door to this place. Also we loved the goodies that were left in the fridge. The pineapple on the island is SOOO good. Sooooooo good. Forget the banana bread hype... just eat the pineapples and bananas fresh! Mahalo!

We had a great stay at Alexandra’s. The apartment is very cute and clean, and it’s in a great location to enjoy Kihei. Just a few minutes driving from all the restaurants and beaches. At the same time, the neighborhood is very quiet and we woke up every morning with the sounds of birds singing.

We wish we could have stayed longer. David a Dawn put a lot of hard work into the space. The pool/hottub and sauna were very clean and enjoyable. The Jungalow itself felt very private and great sunset. Everything you could need is there for you kitchen, bathroom, fireplace, plenty of seating everywhere . The open air and big windows make you feel like you’re living outside. The porch and balcony were great for relaxing on. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. The property itself is gorgeous. Great flowers plants and trees, smelled great everywhere you went. Plenty of places to go from the property and they were very helpful in telling us the best spots to check out. Thanks for sharing your house with us Dave and Dawn!

We love Maui and are so thrilled to have found such a lovely place to stay. Katherine and Dean couldn’t have been more welcoming, helpful and kind. Kihei is a terrific base for exploring and enjoying the island. As we drove out to head to the airport, we all said it was the best Airbnb experience we have had (among many wonderful Airbnb experiences and basically no bad ones). We will be back! :)

We absolutely loved the cottage! Tom and Denise were very kind and gave us a lot of helpful information on activities and restaurants in the area. The cottage had great extras like snorkeling gear, beach towels etc. In the morning, we were woken up by the beautiful sound of birds which we will miss dearly back home! We were super happy a late check-out was possible as our flight was in the evening. Highly recommend booking with Tom and Denise (and their adorable dog), would 100 percent book again!

Really enjoyed this beautiful home on the Island of Maui. It was my first time on Maui with my family. The outdoor patio area was very nice. The location was convenient and close to nearby areas on the Island. Emma was an excellent host and friendly. She gave great recommendations of activities to do on the island and was a great communicator.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, with a lovely garden and a stunning view. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

What an oasis! Lush, private, & peaceful. A favorite was picking fresh guava for breakfast! Eve was attentive but not over bearing, kind and hospitable. We really felt like we could explore and enjoy the entire grounds. And the sanctuary next door was simply beautiful and a quick walk away. You can even buy an “over the top” fresh exotic flower bouquet for $18!! We grilled out on the back patio and soaked it all in . We’d definitely recommend this get-away!

We loved this Airbnb! Leanne was super responsive and the place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed plus some! It was also close to several beaches. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets in the evenings. Super quiet and secluded spot! Beautiful landscaping too! Definitely recommend!

Maui Eco Retreat was nothing short of magical. The energy on the grounds was something I never expected—calming, vibrant, and deeply rejuvenating. From the moment we booked, the pre-arrival communication made us feel completely at ease, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay.We arrived at 10 PM and were greeted by William, who welcomed us with such warmth and enthusiasm. His passion for the retreat was evident, making us feel instantly at home. We stayed for four nights in the Bamboo Temple, a serene sanctuary with the most breathtaking ocean and sunrise views. Waking up at 6 AM was effortless when rewarded with the golden light streaming through the massive bay window—an experience in itself. Our mornings started with a quick 10-minute drive to grab coffee before returning to our beautifully equipped room to prepare breakfast. The retreat had everything we needed, including a fully equipt kitchen. After breakfast, I would head to the yoga studio for a 60-minute flow, followed by

Rosa and Carl are wonderful hosts. They were very kind and helpful providing lots of tips for trips. Accomodation was perfect, refreshments waiting for us after long fly from Europe. Fully recommended. Mahalo!

Such a lovely and magical place to stay! So peaceful and quiet. William was the best. Extremely helpful and responsive! Will be back next year!

Our stay at Brigitte and Dave’s B&B was exceptional. The cottage was beautiful, clean and private, and a peaceful place to relax after a day of hiking or snorkeling. It was also stocked with everything we needed and more, to include making meals at home or for a day at the beach. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and offered excellent recommendations for local activities. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful location. Secluded and set back from the road with an incredible ocean view. House had all the essentials. Would love to come back.

Katherine was very helpful with recommendations of activities! She followed up to see if we made it safely to her home. Katherine’s home had all the amenities and more, including beach chairs, boogie boards and more things to take to the beach. She also checked up on us to see if we needed anything. Thank you!

Our 5 night stay at Roberta’s cottage was our favorite part of our Maui vacation! Roberta was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire booking process and during our stay. Cottage is clean, simple, comfortable, and had everything we really needed. We loved hanging out on the lanai enjoying the view, the sounds of the waves and birds while having morning coffee and watching the sunrise; then again in the evening for drinks and dinner. Bed was comfortable and being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves on the black sand beach is lovely. No worries about the lack of A/C. While the cottage is warm when you first walk in, it cools down as soon as you open up the doors on the lanai and the windows all around to let in the lovely ocean breeze. And the ceiling fan in the bedroom keeps you comfortable at night. Roberta provided good beach chairs, towels, sunscreen, and other beach equipment which helped us enjoy nearby Hamoa Beach, our favorite and a real gem!

This home is stunning! The gardens around the home are more beautiful and peaceful than the photos and the house was absolutely perfect for two couples. The small towns of Haiku-Pauwela, Pa'ia, and Makawao are wonderful and have so much character. The management team, Margit and AJ, were incredibly helpful and kind. There was a big storm on the islands the day we were to depart - flight cancelled, power outages, flooding, etc. They welcomed us back to the house for 3 more nights (we couldn't get a flight out until then). Margit and her husband offered to come pick us up at the airport and bring us back to the house, brought lanterns and flashlights to the house since there was no power... all during a crazy storm! We felt so taken care of and they were so kind. AJ in the office helped out with the rebooking for the 3 nights... SO MUCH ALOHA, all around!! We would DEFINITELY come stay here again. Mahalo!!
