The experience couldn’t have been better! The house is lovely and was just what our family was looking for in being a home away from home in paradise. The house was full of useful amenities - kitchen is fully stocked; the laundry is great; and there is everything you need for the beach!The location is very close to town but far enough away to feel completely relaxed.Our family would absolutely stay here again!

This place is described accurately and met all our expectations. We cooked several meals and the kitchen and grill were well suited and stocked for our needs. The living space was comfortable, and it was especially nice to open the sliding doors to experience the lanai. The outdoor pool/hot tub were welcome to have as well as the view of the ocean which allowed us to watch beautiful sunsets. To be fair, the proximity to the beach allowed us to quickly get there and watch sunsets on the beach! Communication and assistance from the owners was prompt and helpful. If we were to return, we'd definitely consider rebooking this place again!

Every kitchen amenity is available. The pool and hot tub area are amazing. So much outdoor seating is available. The grill was super clean! The beds were comfortable. Needed some bedding for the pull out twin beds in living room. Some privacy curtains on huge windows for the living room would have been nice for those sleeping in there. A couple other things to improve which I messaged the owner about and he was always very responsive and kind!! A current instructional book with how to access WiFi, tv controls, A/C controls, shades, pool etc…

We truly enjoyed out stay at Troy and Dianna's property. The house is clean, comfortable, and close to the beaches, shopping, restaurants as well as an easy jump on the highway to upcountry and the airport. Troy was excellent at communicating with us.

Our stay was wonderful. Troy and Dianna were excellent hosts. The house was extremely clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was very well stocked, and beach gear was available. The property is short driving distance to many beaches, shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. When sitting by the pool, it feels like you are on your own island as there is beautiful landscaping creating privacy from the neighbors. We were comfortable with 8 guests as there are two twin pull out ottomans in the living room. Highly recommend this home!

Property was excellent - clean - well stocked and perfect for a vacation. We spent 11 days and did not have a single issue with the property.
Planning on returning next year for 2/3 weeks.

The location is perfect. Even the drive to the beach is short, easily accessed and was never that busy. We tried other beaches, but kept coming back to that one anyway! The pool is amazing and the views are gorgeous. The house was spacious and had absolutely everything we could have needed. Finally, Troy and Dianna are fantastic! I instantly felt like when I met them I had known them for years. There was a gas strike by some of the workers that led to some shortage issues and I can't say enough about how far they bent over backwards to make sure our trip wasn't impacted. I would highly recommend this stay. It's the quintessential slice Hawaiian paradise we were looking for. Our family will definitely be back!

My wife and I were excited to take our five kids back to Maui and experience the island again. After a few days at the Westin we wanted a slower pace and something away from a resort.
We were more than happy with the house. The pool and hot tub are amazing and the location is great. This was our third time to Maui but our first time in South Maui. Our favorite beach and best snorkeling with three turtles was 4 minutes from the house. Despite how amazing the accommodations are, Troy and Dianna are still probably the best part of the rental. Very easy to get a hold of and a wealth of information about the island. Would definitely stay there again and really enjoy the memories our family was able to make there.

Home was just as described. Had all the amenities you need to have a great stay on Maui. Owners are very cool too. The kids loved the pool
April 2023
We stayed a full week at the property & loved it! I booked it for the outdoor space & was so happy it was actually what the pictures looked like. It was spacious & inviting. The beds were all comfy & the kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I didn’t love was the AC was set on a 6 hour timer. I understand why, but the second master didn’t have an overhead fan, so it wasn’t as cool. But overall it was good enough.
Troy was super nice & there were some thoughtful additions like beach chairs & a cooler we used.
The location was also centrally located to many things. I hope to return .

We stayed at Troy and Dianna’s property for 10 days February 2023. We are a family of three couples plus an infant.
The hosts were super friendly, thoughtful and helpful, responding quickly to any questions we had both before and during our stay. The home was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed plus more. Washer/dryer, plenty of towels, booster seat with tray for the baby, toilet paper, dish soap, coffee, …. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. We enjoyed the pool, and loved using the hot tub every night. They had beach chairs, an umbrella, snorkel gear, boogie boards for use on beach days which we really appreciated. The drive to the beach and shops was about 5 minutes. “Our” Maui home was in a quiet peaceful neighbourhood. We could not have asked for anything more. We had a truly wonderful stay!
Troy and Dianna,
Thank you so much for everything!

I was skeptical of renting through any rental agency but renting this house through VRBO was the best decision I could have made for our party of 7. Troy and Diana were perfect hosts and the house was everything that was advertised.... warm and inviting, very clean, great location, unbelievable views- especially sunsets, well appointed- really could not think of anything else that they could have provided. This is the perfect place to stay in Maui.... after our many adventures, we would return to a beautiful, quiet, peaceful environment with a pool, fire-pit, and spacious patio to relax! We liked it so much that we are talking about returning in the near future.... plus we are going to recommend this property to everyone we know!! Thanks Troy and Diana:)

Our family of 4 had a wonderful Maui vacation, with Troy and Dianna's property being an excellent base for our trip. The location of the house was perfect, with easy access to all that Maui has to offer. The house itself was very clean and the pool and hot tub were definitely a highlight. Also, Troy and Dianna were very responsive and caring.
One thing I am going to mention, that I like to know about a property in advance, is that I would not categorize this property as upscale or luxurious at least compared to other properties we have rented. It is very nice, but aspects are a bit dated such as the carpeting and the living room furniture (while other aspects have been updated). Also, there is now a fence at the back of the property behind the pool.

Our stay was a dream! The location is perfect, a 30 minute drive to practically anywhere on the island. The home is neat, modern, comfy, and unique. It was such a joy having the pool and the incredible view while still feeling private and secluded.
Troy and Dianna were incredible! They were very communicative, helpful, and kind with great recommendations when we were setting out on the Road to Hana.
We'll be back again for sure!

This is the most fantastic property we have stayed at! I am always apprehensive basing a home on photos and expecting it to be as nice as it looks in the photos. Normally it's never as nice....but this house...WOW. It was everything we hoped for and more!! How that is possible?! I am not even sure because I have a very high standards + expectations & this experience exceeded all of them!
The owners were very responsive and welcoming. The house was clean clean clean and ready for us. The location is perfect & minutes to everything. The yard and pool was very private and well cared for.
The primary bedroom...spacious, the most comfy bed & bedding w/backyard access. And let's talk about the ensuite. Relax in the giant deep tub or get extra clean with the 17 shower heads in the shower area. {But be warned...you will never be able to go back to a regular shower again...looks like we are doing a remodel now. My husband walked by & saw I was writing a review & said to "MAKE SURE to mention that badass shower!"}
We are a family of 5 and there was more than enough room to hang out and also spread out. There were pool and beach accessories (chairs, floaties, etc). This was especially nice. I will 100% be back to stay at this house! I have sent it to several of my friends looking to take a trip to Maui.
I highly recommend this property!!!!

The house was well laid out and the décor was welcoming and relaxing. The backyard had areas for lounge by the pool and enjoying the view of the mountains and ocean. Troy was welcoming and friendly. We had a fabulous trip and would recommend this property to others.

This was a Christmas gift for my kids and grandkids. When part of the description of their vacation in Hawaii is describing how nice the hosts are and how great the house is, you know it was a perfect choice. Friendly from start to finish.
And a bonus, they could whale watch from the patio. An added bonus that will remain in their memories forever.

I don't leave many reviews for things, but this house was truly an oasis from life stress. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, a short drive to the beach. But really, who needs the beach when you can just relax in the sun next to the pool. It was nothing short of OUTSTANDING! You cannot go wrong with this home. And the owners were so lovely and respectful. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

We had the most wonderful stay here! The kitchen is VERY well outfitted for cooking. They thought of everything! The pool and hot tub were game changers! Comfortable beds. Nice neighborhood, close to shopping and dining, but very private. Great sunrises, great views of the ocean. Owners were onsite, and quick to answer questions or give us anything we need! We would stay here again and again and again!

My family came together in Maui The house was perfect for that. The back yard was so nice they could have spent their whole time there.

Our stay could not have been better. The location, the pool/hot tub, amenities you name it, it's all excellent. Troy & Dianna were great hosts. The communication before our stay and during our visit was always timely. Sunrise & sunset views from the pool deck were amazing. I can't recommend this beautiful spot enough. If this is available for your travel dates book it. . . .Now!

We chose this property for its central location to wedding festivities. Had three generations including an 87 year old grandmother in our group. Comfortable house easily accommodated our party of five. Kitchen very well stocked. Beds extremely comfortable. Views incredible. A/C powerful. Pool and spa/hot tub fun for everyone. Loved waking up to bird song. Owner Troy very responsive to any requests.

I would highly recommend this rental. The property is well maintained (pool hot tub repaired while we were there), conveniently located (close to Wailea beaches - best on Maui), extremely comfortable, scenic (views of ocean perhaps under appreciated on-line), and accommodating/friendly/informative hosts. I’d stay there again

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything from reservation to check out was smooth and easy. The house was well stocked and we appreciated the use of the cooler (also had all sorts of pool toys, chairs, etc). We loved the pool and couldn't have asked for a better stay while in Maui.

Two families easily shared this house. The pool area is definitely the highlight with a clean perfect pool and hot tub with spectacular views of the mountains and sea. Outdoor of dining and grilling were a perfect end of the day. It was hard to drag ourselves away from the property to explore the island. The inside of the house is comfortable and clean with an excellent stocked kitchen. Spa bathroom was sun too. Dianna and Troy are lovely hosts and couldn’t be nicer. Wish we had more time!

Thank you to hosts Troy and Dianna for sharing your wonderful house! We have rented beach houses and condos all over the US and abroad and have never stayed in one so clean and so well equipped. We love to cook and the kitchen was first rate and had everything we could want or need, with a great outdoor grill too. All the beach gear we needed for roaming the island was there too, clean, in good repair and organized under a shelter by the pool. And the pool - big and temp just right for playing all day, we loved having the tiki torches lit to swim after sunset!
Most of all, Troy and Dianna who own and maintain the home, are the BEST. Anything we needed, they were prompt to respond and take care of, and just delightful people, who love and care about the home and the island, so fun to talk to and get to know. Troy shared with us that as travelers, they try to think of anything they might want to have in a rental, and to be sure it is provided. Dianna told us she wants anyone who stays to feel like they are the first/only people who have ever used the place. They really hit the mark, we want to go back again ASAP!

This house was perfect for our Maui vacation! Open and spacious with a beautiful backyard and pool. The backyard area is much larger than I expected or could see from the pictures on the listing. A great place to entertain friends. The master bedroom and bathroom provided lots of space and were excellent. The second bedroom is a good sized room with a great view and the third bedroom was on the small side but adequate. We enjoyed the home on our lazy days and it was peaceful and quiet. The kitchen has everything you would need. Equipped like a personal home not a bare bones equipped vacation home. Overall, an awesome vacation home that I would highly recommend!

We were greeted by Troy and Diane, a very very nice couple. They showed us around and left. The home was spotless and beautiful. We went to
Hawaii for our sons wedding. The family and some friends stayed there. Other than the wedding, this was the highlight of our vacation. The outside area is fabulous. So nice to get coffee in the am and just sit by the pool. At night we all sat by the fire. I would recommend this property
to anyone wanting a retreat. So so much better than a hotel! You just get there and feel right at home. Thank you, Troy and Diane for renting this
beautiful property for us to enjoy.

The home is as beautiful/Clean/comfortable as the pictures shows. We come Maui for a wedding, busy in and out, but every time, we come back to the place, we felt that we are coming back home. I wish we can stay much longer. Owner Diana and Troy are very friendly and helpful which is a super plus. --- Kai
I had a great stay at the house and music was a pleasant surprise. You could even hear music in the bathroom! I loved the games they left for us to play and I know you will too. The pool is amazingly big and glows at night. I loved their hospitality and a lot of the fun I had in Maui was at the beautiful house that I am glad to call home.---Erica

Aloha fron one Troy to another (and Dianna) we spent ten days at the house and had a great time. The house is an amazing hideaway and was just what we expected. The kitchen had everything you would need during your vacation ( we did donate a cookie sheet to the kitchen wares) the house was very clean and the beds were comfy ! The master bath is amazing as well. The owners met us when we arrived and filled us in on all the great things the house had to offer. The whole house sound system got a work out during our stay. It is a great benefit to have the owners on property in case we needed anything or had any questions about what to do on the island. We had friends join us a few times to sit around the fire pit, BBQ, and hang at the pool, they were all jealous that we had such a great space to hang out and didn't want to go back to their condo. We didn't have any young children with us but would totally recommend this house for families with young children. Can't say enough good things about this house and the owners. We also donated a blow up wale for the pool I never did figure out how to ride it but sure had fun trying! We send a heart felt thank you to Troy and Dianna for allowing us to spend time in their AMAZING rental. Oh did I mention the view? Mahalo we will visit again! P.S. Have Troy light the torches at least one night it is well worth it. Thank you Troy and Dianna we had a great time.

The House and Property were amazing and just what we were looking for. We spent most of our days in the pool playing volleyball or water racquetball or playing games on the side of the pool listening to music from the Sonos. We were close to the town that we could walk to the Wailea or the beaches or a 5 min drive to the grocery store. The owners were extremely courteous and made our stay a pleasure with any request we had. A great place to go for a couple or family that are tired of the over crowded hotels and pools with all the comfort of a 5 star hotel.

We had a fabulous time at the South Maui Hideaway. The home is spacious and inviting and the outdoor area is beautiful. The kitchen and bedrooms are very well equipped. We really enjoyed the SONOS sound system both in and outside of the house. The home is close to the beaches in Kihei and Wailea and there are outstanding restaurants nearby. We highly recommend this home for your next Maui getaway!

The house was not only extremely clean but also felt like a home away from home. It was a beautiful home with many extras. The pool and patio area were a big hit with the family as well as the fire pit. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They were close enough to help us when we needed help but left us alone for privacy. We would recommend this to others and would definitely return.

We just returned from our stay in Maui and saying this house is amazing is an understatement!!! My fiance and I chose this home for our closest friends and family to come to Maui to celebrate our destination wedding and it absolutely could not have been more perfect!! We had 6 adults and 3 kids; which we had plenty of space for; the layout of Troy and Dianna's house is so spacious! The sliding open windows in the living room bring the island feel through the entire house. The sonos sound system completes the vibe; as you listen to your music while relaxing in the pool, and BBQing! The views and privacy of this home are incredible, with the location being near the beach, shops, and restaurants.
Troy and Dianna live in a little cottage in the front of the house, and they are so wonderful!! They are so friendly, welcoming, and completely respectful of your privacy and ensuring you enjoy their home to the fullest. Dianna even brought over her personal picnic basket for my fiance and I to use on our road to Hana with a sweet congratulations card for our wedding!! I was in need of getting my wedding dress steamed and could not find anywhere that could get it done for me in time for my wedding and Dianna called a personal friend who is a seamstress and got my dress steamed for me the day before my wedding!!!
I have been to Maui three times now, and this home is absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. They truly are the best people I have ever worked with through VRBO and we will absolutely be returning to their home again soon!! Thanks for making our wedding week so memorable and perfect!!

Our family stayed at this beautiful home for 5 days and we truly enjoyed every minute! The amenities were excellent and you truly felt at home. Because the house was so awesome, we were able to relax quite a bit in the spa, pool, and just basking in the sun while grilling meals and avoiding the tourist crowds. Everyday, we woke up early to drive 2 minutes to Sidewalks Beach, a definite family beach, where the kids played in the sand and we spent time swimming and enjoying the views of Molokini and surrounding islands. After some beach time, off we went to tour the island and go around Kihei, where the locals hang out to enjoy the day and then our evenings were consumed enjoying the pool and spa to relax and reflect on the great day! The house was so close to Foodland and Safeway, that we did groceries for the week and didn't have to worry much about waiting in lines and driving after a full day in the beach! Having the owners stay on the property was so awesome as they were accessible if we needed tips for outings and we had the added bonus of having the security that our belongings were safe was priceless! Need to shop? - The house is 5 minutes from the Shops at Wailea on one end and the sidewalk stores at Kihei on the other end! This was truly an excellent vacation thanks to Troy and Dianna and we look forward to coming back again. If you have kids in the family or if you don't want to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds, stay here...you won't regret it! A truly genuine and relaxing vacation is what you'll get! Mahalo!

Our gaggle of siblings descended upon Maui for a family wedding, staying at Troy and Dianna's South Maui Hideaway. The house is spacious, open, comfortable and well-outfitted with everything you'll need; the deck, pool and hot tub are a private oasis with a water view; and the central location put us five to ten minutes away from all the events tied to wedding week (don't miss the Mai Tai at MonkeyPod Kitchen). It was also a great place to come home to after a long day on the Road to Hana (do the back side too, no matter what they say to steer you away). Troy and Dianna were gracious and available owners, quickly responding to anything we needed. As good as it looks and highly recommended.
