This was a very nice cottage. Very close walk to a beautiful beach w great snorkeling! Steps from the pool. It was a very nice stay for the value. Only drawback was traffic noise and no outdoor patio. Instead there was a beautiful sunroom. Very clean and bright.

The cottage was very nice, beautifully kept and comfortable. We arrived late at night and the lights were left on to welcome us to our home away from home. Each room had nice clean ceiling fans and opening windows which made for a breezy comfortable stay. The view was spectacular and the sunsets incredible. We felt very comfortable and relaxed during our stay. The location is just minutes away from the beach and a nice Beach Walk to many options for dining out and shopping. Although with the nicely equipped kitchen you could also cook and eat in. The owner was easy to contact and responded immediately. Highly recommended this location.

Third time staying at the ICC. We love the location! Close to everything. The ocean view was fantastic. Had our morning coffee outside watching whales. Had evening beverages watching the sunset. Had everything we needed for our stay. Really spacious for the four of us. Thanks!

We had a fabulous time and snorkeled every day at one of the best beaches on the island! Terry responded quickly when we didn't have hot water and had the hot water tank replaced as soon as possible. The cottage is very spacious and equipped with many extras in the kitchen. The bathrooms could use some more towels and wash rags, but we were able to wash the existing towels throughout the week because there's a washer/dryer and laundry detergent. There's no AC which bothered some in our party, but the many windows and fans quickly cooled down the cottage each night. Overall, the beds are very comfortable, communication with the owner is excellent, and we would stay there again.

This beautiful property is perfect for those that want to get away from the large resorts and have nice place to come home to after a day of swimming, snorkeling, or sightseeing. It has one of the best stocked kitchens to do your own cooking along with a ton extras for your beach adventures. We stayed 7 days with our 6 and 8 years girls and they never once said they were bored. They entertained themselves in the pool that is right out the back door and chased endless butterflies that little lizards that grace the grounds. Having 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with plenty of space to relax throughout the house, we were able to find our own space to kick back and relax. If you are scrolling through looking for places to stay on Maui, just stop here and book Terry’s place! We will definitely book it again the next time we come back. Today is our last day and we are packing up to leave but with the convenience of having a washer and dryer on site everything is going to be washed, dried, and folded when we get home tomorrow morning after a red eye flight.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The house was very clean and comfortable with terrific sunset and ocean views! The kitchen was very well stocked with every item needed for cooking gourmet meals! The pool was heated, clean and only a few feet away from the house and was fairly private. The house is in a very private, safe and quiet neighborhood and all the residents were friendly that we met. The location is perfect- across from a beautiful beach. Only wish the parking was slightly closer to the house entrance. Will definitely be back! Terry was also very responsive and informative about the property. Great find! Book it already!

Fabulous location and all as advertised !!! Crazy good ocean views from the very spacious sun porch !! Very private setting & grounds.
Private association pool was just steps from cottage ... and was great alternative for non-beach days !!
Host Terry Bell was very thoughtful and informative as we navigated coming to West Maui after August fires. Most restaurants and stores were re-opened and locals appreciated thoughtful tourist returning to support their local economy.
Highly Recommend staying with Terry and we hope to return soon !!

The cottage was beautiful and nicely appointed. The view of the ocean was lovely. The sound of traffic was surprisingly loud and carried into the second bedroom. Otherwise, the location of the cottage made it easy to get around the island. Terry is very responsive and helpful.

Our stay could not have been better - we loved to location close to one of the best beaches on Maui, the almost "private" pool, the clean and spacious rooms and the quiet and well-maintained property. It was perfect for our family of four and we had a wonderful time Terry was a great host and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend this cottage.

We had a lovely stay in this property which is ideally suited for a lazy beach stay or a deeper explore of the island.
Comms with Terry and check in process was fab. The house is clean and spacious and the pool is literally at the bottom of some steps by the front door.
You can walk to the beach in 10 mins and snorkel in the turquoise sea.
The house is ideally suited to adventure too. We drove 19 mins up the coast to other beaches and also zip lined on the side of the volcano. We also drove the Road to Hana and to the seven sacred pools - which was a 12 hour road trip but we’ll worth doing.
Whalers Village shops, restaurants & beach only 5 mins drive and Lahaina with shops & restaurants 10 minutes drive. Lovely house, lovely location.

We had a great time in Terry's cottage. It had everything you would need ... a well stocked kitchen that we could cook our own meals in and beach gear that we could use to go out with.
The cottage has a great layout and worked well for the three of us that stayed.
It was great to be so close to the pool and the location slightly up on the hill meant that we had an ocean view with lovely sunsets.
Terry was very easy to communicate with and the whole booking process was clear and simple.
Would definitely recommend this cottage.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Terry’s property. The grounds were beautifully maintained and watching the sunrise/sunset from the living room was magical. The home easily fit myself and my husband, my mother and my toddler and we all felt like we had some space to move around.
The house was kid friendly, however, the furniture was a bit difficult with a toddler. But that is specific to my family.
The pool is just steps away, and we usually had the whole thing to ourselves.
Beach access was super easy, and is just a short walk away.
Staying at terrys felt like home, there were spices in the cabinets, condiments in the fridge and plenty of sand toys for our son.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking.
Thanks Terry!

Great location, laid back, comfortable, clean & relaxing.
Cottage is well cared for & has everything just bring your clothes.
Stayed here with my husband & 2 adult kiddos while visiting the third adult kiddo who lives in Lahaina.
At the cottage all four of us had plenty of space & were able to nest in nicely.
For my family the very well stocked kitchen & outdoor BBQ were huge game changers. That & the dining table that seated six with an ocean view made eating in our first choice.
Pro tips:
Castaway Cafe (across the street) great for cocktails en route to the beach.
The nearby Foodland Fresh parking lot hosts a farmers market on Saturdays.
The ‘808 Grindz’ restaurant has authentic homemade Hawaiian food. Open for breakfast & lunch, CASH only. Not touristy.

This was our third time to Terry's home in Maui and it doesn't disappoint. Like many, we feel this is our home away from home. It has everything you could want/need for a relaxing vacation. The location is perfect. It is right across the street from the water (with ocean views) which gives us the privacy we like yet allowing us quick access to the beach.
Terry is the best host and is always available for questions or issues. I would highly recommend.

Cottage is lovely and spacious, perfect for my family of 4. The pool is very close and sparkling clean. Unfortunately the 2nd pool on property was closed for maintenance making ours quite crowded most of the time. But, we really spent the majority of our time on the spectacular beach across the road. It’s a busy road to cross, but there is a signal/crosswalk that makes it very easy. The beach has the most beautiful water with sandy area for swimming and reefs everywhere for fantastic snorkeling right off the beach. We would come back for sure.

This is our fifth stay in this beautiful cottage. My best friend and I fell in love with it the first year and have been coming back ever since. It has all the amenities of home. It sits up high so you have a beautiful view of the ocean and all the lush greenery which surrounds the cottage. The pool is located very close and many times we had it all to ourselves. It is always clean and sparkling, surrounded by a hedge of Hibiscus. The location of the cottage is ideal. It is across from Kaanapali Beach, close to Whaler’s Village (great shopping and eating), and close to Lahaina which is where we spent a lot of time. This truly is our happy place and we thank Terry for sharing this little piece of paradise.

Easy booking, just as listed, very clean and everything is working order. Good communication with Terry. Wonderful location. Easy quick walk to the beach which was great for snorkeling, whale watching and walking the Boardwalk down by the resorts next to ocean was a wonderful as well. Having access to washer, dryer, snorkeling and beach equipment is a real plus.
Suggestion, add 2 beach chairs to the beach closet for use, a pizza cutter in the kitchen, a pair of binoculars (for whale watching) and outdoor chairs to sit outside instead of the wooden bench.
Would definitely rent this property again when we come back.

We rented this beautiful property as a Christmas memory instead of presents for our family…my husband and myself and my two boys (young men really- 22 and 24). It was an amazing experience, despite the Kona Low storm! It was the perfect place to ride out the storm and listen to the rain and wind. Very comfortable and spacious! The rainbows after the storm were beautiful and could be seen from the amazing wall of windows.
The house sits higher on the hill and has great views of the sunsets…and the storm clouds over the ocean. We loved the pool 10 steps away from the back door and we took advantage of it for evening swims. The walk to Airport Beach was short and we thought it was a great way to get to one of our favorite beaches. We rented a car so we could explore the island and there was plenty of parking each time we returned from an excursion.
Now the house…it is absolutely beautiful! A true home away from home. The pictures definitely don’t do it justice. It is spacious, the furniture and beds are very comfortable, and it has literally everything you will need in the kitchen. We used both the BBQ and washer and dryer. Super convenient and sheltered from the wind, rain, and sun.
Terry was very thorough and great to work with. Definitely a pleasure from beginning to end. Gwen, who spotlessly cleaned this house prior to our arrival was also fabulous to work with. She offered helpful tips and was very welcoming. This was an incredible trip from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this gorgeous property to anyone looking to relax and unwind.

Terry's home was the perfect 'home away from home' for our family on Maui. The property descriptions and photos are very accurate. Do not be concerned about the lack of air conditioning- the breeze and open layout of this home kept things very comfortable during our stay. My daughters loved being able to swim in the pool that was steps out the back door. The beach across the street (easy 5 min walk) was perfect with a beautiful reef for snorkeling. The beach supplies (snorkel & sand toys) were appreciated by all! Terry was an excellent host with clear communication. Will happily stay again here for our next Maui trip!

If you want to stay & visit Kaanapali, HI & have the best central location in heart of it all, this VRBO home is for you. Both Lynn & I have been to Maui before to vacation but this home now is our favorite place. This home is centrally located in the heart of Kaanapali. The beach, shopping, restaurants, etc is at your fingertips. The owner is simply outstanding to work with. Enjoy your stay, as we did.

We loved the location and the amenities. It was so handy to have a washer and dryer outside and a great place to hose off sandy shoes. Also, we made great use of the cooler in the closet and we able to save a lot of money by packing lunches everyday! The neighbors were kind and helpful! There is so much space! We loved it!

I can’t wait to return to this cottage. It truly has a great feel and vibe. Short walk to beach across the street to our best snorkeling on the trip. Just go up the beach to the right for 100-200 yards Right off the beach is a 3 mile reef. Full of colorful fish eel saw turtles too. Bring a solution of 1:10 part baby small for your snorkel mask. It’s magic!

The cottage is in a prime location a few minutes walk from the best beach in Maui. We swam with the turtles every day and watched the most amazing sunsets. There is also a lovely swimming pool next to the cottage. The layout of the property was perfect with amazing views and it provided absolutely everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back again soon! A real slice of Paradise on Earth!

This home is amazing. The location is just a couple of minutes from the beach, and steps to the pool. The complex is quiet and clean and lends itself to being a great place to relax or have fun. The owner was very easy to work with and made sure our stay was enjoyable. It is also one of the most well-stocked places we have come across. The kitchen had all of the cooking utensils we could have thought of, there were plenty of blankets, pillows and towels for our family of four, and we made use of the beach toys and snorkel gear. There is a full-size washer and dryer, which only made our stay more enjoyable. This is definitely our go-to place on Maui!!

As a first time VRBO user we were a bit concerned when Omicron caused us to delay our original trip and reschedule it but Terry was very accommodating and the reschedule was a breeze. When we arrived we were pleased to see that everything about this wonderful home was exactly as advertised. Clean, well maintained with everything we needed for our vacation. There is a clear pride of home ownership throughout the resort grounds. Immaculately maintained landscaping, pool areas, pathways and parking areas that are well situated. If you want to stay in a place that feels like home while you’re on vacation, this is the place. Highly recommended.

I brought my Mom and Aunt to Hawaii. My Mom recently had her hip replaced and My Aunt doesn't get around very well. They were both upset about the (3minute) walk and the small hill they had to climb to get to the house. Just something to keep in mind if you have older people. I would have liked to have known about it ahead of time.
The house was very spacious and comfortable. The area was very nice and the walk was well manicured and pretty. We all really liked the beds, I slept very well. The noise coming from the road seemed to echo in the house but by day 4 we had somewhat got used to it. To be fair we are not used to having open windows and the noise that comes with it.

What a lovely cottage! Stand-alone cottage tucked among a few dozen others in a lush tropical paradise. Walking down the paths, butterflies would drift past, plumerias would fall from the trees and little geckos would cross my path. Woken up every morning to the songs of birds. And a full ocean view from the enclosed lanai together with views of the other islands. Very private and yet across the street from a terrific beach for snorkeling and swimming- enjoyed that almost every day. Can’t wait to come back to this paradise.

The property was everything that was advertised and more.
The location was a 10 minute walk to Kaanapali but because of the Free Beach Parking across the street once you pulled out of the International Colony location we drove over so we didn't have to carry the beach supplies.
The house itself is right next to the pool which is great after a long day at the beach.
The house was extremely well-stocked with beach & cooking supplies and plenty of spices.
The view from the house looking at the trees and sunset were
a great way to start or end your day.
The location was convenient to get around to many spots on the island.
Finally, Terry was great at responding to any of questions and needs.
If you want to avoid hotels and resorts and have a place of your own, book here.

We chose to rent this house instead of a condo or resort, as it gives us more room to spread out. We were not disappointed. Plenty of room, a nearby pool, and a one block walk to the beach. Highly recommend this cottage, and would definitely like to stay here again.

The house gives you the nice island feel!
Amazing lanai has a panoramic view of the ocean and the mountains of Molokai!
The house windows design lets you keep glass blinds open if you like, so you can listen to the birds and inhale the fresh breeze coming from the ocean (windows have a mosquito net and glass blinds that can be either opened or converted to a closed glass window. Very convenient for that climate!).
The pool is a few steps away. The pool furniture was locked due to covid thought, so we had to bring our own chairs.
The kitchen is well stoked. There was a rice maker, slow cooker, and blender for cocktails! If you like Mai Tai, bring the Orgeat syrup from the big land as it is very hard to find it on Maui (we found it in one of the 10 stores we visited).
The kid's room is separated by a partial wall with a leaving room if that is important to anyone. Kids can hear people talking in the living room. That helped us to wake up our daughter faster to go to the beach 😂
It is within 10 min walking distance to a very nice public beach across the street.
Excellent communication with Terry makes everything easy. Thank you, Terry! We would love to come again if there is a chance.

The location is very convenient in Kaanapali, across the highway from the excellent Kahekili beach (about 5-10 minute walk). The views of Lanai and Molokai from the home are beautiful. The home has a well stocked kitchen. Beach towels and chairs are available which was convenient. There were a few routine maintenance issues and Terry as very responsive in getting them addressed. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Maui.

Extremely spacious and well kept cottage. Great green space outside for kids to play in if you have them. Nice breezes at night to keep you cool, and having the pool just out the back door and down some steps is a real plus.
Unit is well stocked for cooking, I don't think I looked for anything and couldn't find it.
Terry was a pro host, responsive and in contact.
Great stay, looking forward to next year!

My best friend of seventy years and I decided to go to Maui every year. Last year we were lucky enough to find this gem of a cottage. We now call it our home in Maui. This was our second year to stay in this cottage and now can't imagine staying anywhere else. It sits up high enough that it has beautiful views of the ocean and Molokai. The cottage itself is beautiful and very comfortable. The pool is out the back door and down some steps. This year we had it almost always to ourselves. It is across the street from Kaanapali Beach. It only takes five minutes, or less, to walk there to get in some beach time or just sit and watch the beautiful sunsets. It's in a great location, easy to get to Lahaina, Whaler's Village, many wonderful restaurants. We found the most wonderful little Hawaiian church. It's called the Lahuiokalani Ka'anapali Congregationai Church. The service is in English and Hawaiian. The people are lovely and so welcoming. And it's right next door to the Farmer's Market. I highly recommend the coconut tapioca! There is nothing negative about this beautiful place. Our favorite place in the cottage was in the sunroom which is completely surrounded by windows with a gorgeous view. There are two very comfortable chairs with a ceiling fan overhead ~ perfect place for reading, resting and of course happy hour. Terry Bell, the owner, is great to work with. He is easy to get in touch with and wants your stay to be wonderful.....and believe me, it will be!

We recently spent 9 days at the International Colony Club villas ID #358877. If you want an excellent place to stay, without being in the middle of all the condominiums and resorts in Lahaina, then Terry"s villa is the place to stay. Beaches, shopping, and restaurants are within a short distance from the villa. The villa accommodates two couples nicely and has all the amenities necessary for a great vacation. The swimming pool was only a few steps from the back door and was a great place to enjoy a drink or relax in the sun. The beds were extremely comfortable after a long day on the beach or roaming the island. Plenty of room to enjoy your stay, kitchen was well equipped , and the living room and sunroom were quiet comfortable. The villa had no air conditioning but there was always a nice breeze, flowing throughout the residence. We had a great vacation and enjoyed our stay in Terry's villa.

We have just returned from another stay at this beautiful Maui home. It feels like our home away from home. It has beautiful hardwood floors in the bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and new washer and dryer. It is perfect for families with children or older couples. Not having to eat out for meals is wonderful. You can sit at the dining table and enjoy the beautiful Maui sunsets. The pool is steps away and is never crowded. The beach is a five minute walk or drive away. There are great shops and restaurants in Lahaina, about a five minute drive. Stay here once and it will become your Maui home.

We loved our stay at the cottage. It was perfect size for our family of four. The kitchen was one of the better equipped of any home we’ve stayed in. The best part was there were two quiet pools (one just footsteps from the cottage) along with a great beach and restaurants nearby. I was a little worried about the lack of AC, but the cross ventilation was so good things cooled off nicely at night. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return at some point.

We were lucky to find this cottage for our first trip to Maui -- it was like a home away from home. It was the perfect place for our family to enjoy and explore paradise -- close to everything but away from the crowds. It had everything we needed to prepare/enjoy meals together as a family. It had beach gear to enjoy sun/sand. It was a great spot to begin/end outings and day trips to Lahaina Old Town, Hana, Kihei and others. All in all, we were more than impressed with this home -- responsive owner, friendly neighbours, clean, spacious, quiet, amenities and proximity to beach, shopping and more. Even though there is a beach just a short distance from the cottage, we had an opportunity to explore beaches all over the island. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine from the large sunroom with sea breezes and views of the ocean, sunsets, Lanai and Molokai. We hope to return and would definitely recommend this home for your stay in Maui!

Upon getting ready to return home from a 10 day, 9 night stay at this beautiful Maui Cottage, I was trying to figure out a way to stay longer :)
This is not a condo -- it's like a 2-bedroom home, spacious and beautifully appointed . . it features comfortable furniture, great sound system (bluetooth compatible), super comfy beds (heavenly soft mattresses), and a top-notch kitchen . .
There's a beautiful view (albeit 1/4 to 1/3 mile+/- from the beach) of the ocean from both the outside lawn area, and from the inside living room/dining room . . having the pool right outside the cottage is another great plus . . also, the cottage is equipped well w/ beach-oriented items . .
The only kind of disappointing issues were:
1) there's no outside lanai/deck/porch accessible from the unit -- it appears that the original outdoor lanai was added in the spacious interior of the cottage . .
2) the second bedroom is partially open to the kitchen/living room -- which somewhat impacts privacy issues . .
3) there was no air conditioning . .
However, there are so many things to love about the Maui Cottage that the positives overcome those 3 issues . . plus, working with Terry, the owner/manager, was an absolute pleasure . . he was totally ready and available to help in every way possible to make the trip a dream !!

We were lucky enough to find Terry Bell's cottage! It truly is a little piece of paradise in the midst of Maui. It has a great location ~ close to Lahaina, the beach (right across the street), shopping, grocery store. The minute we walked in we felt like we were home. It was just two seventy-one year old ladies who have been best friends for 68 years living in this large cottage and loving every minute of it. Our favorite place was in the corner of the sunroom, a very large sunroom with windows all around with a spectacular view of Molokai and the ocean. There were two very comfortable chairs with a ceiling fan over them and the gorgeous view! When we weren't out taking in the sights and sounds of Maui that's where you could find us ~ reading, talking, laughing, drinking, eating. There is a pool very close by that was very well kept, crystal clear. We met a lot of the neighbors there, but it was never crowded. To get to the beach you just walk across the street. We saw some beautiful sunsets there! The kitchen was well stocked if you wanted to cook, but cooking on our vacation was not gonna happen. We did use the refrigerator for our snacks and wine. There were stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Everything was well kept, clean and very tropical. Except we couldn't figure out the penguins Terry ~ maybe to cool you off in the heat of Maui? All in all, it was a beautiful cottage and our stay could not have been any better!

We were back again for at least the 6th time in this beautiful Maui home, our home away from home. This home is a must see for anyone considering a trip to Maui. It has two bedrooms, two baths, fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer. No need to eat out three times a day. Enjoyed breakfast at the dining room table looking out on the beautiful grounds. The pool is just steps away and never crowded. This home is perfect for Families with children or anyone else. Supermarket is 10 minute drive. The town of Lahaina has many shops and restaurants. The home is very clean and well-maintained The owner is always available if anything occurs. This home is so much better than staying in a hotel. Check this home out and you will be very happy you did.

We loved this place. We needed two beds in the second bedroom and wanted to be near the beach but out of the crowds. The cottage is across the road from the resort area and is very quiet and out of the way (full disclosure - you can hear the road traffic a little bit - it did not bother us. By quiet, I mean we very seldom even saw the other residents and visitors). The pool is out the back and down a small walkway. Some of my family were concerned about other reviews that indicated that the pool is in the "backyard". It's true that it is nearby, but it is off to the left, down a walkway and surrounded by landscaping, so from the house you cannot see others using the pool.
The location is great. It's a short walk across the street to the resort area and beaches (there's a light and a crosswalk). It's a short drive to Lahaina one direction and a short drive to Kapalua the other direction.
The owner was responsive and friendly. We plan to stay here again on our next vist. Thanks!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our week in this charming Hawaiian cottage. We enjoyed the comfort of the bed & furniture, the well equipped kitchen, the view of the ocean during breakfast and at sunset from the lovely sunroom, and since it was Christmas time we even watched the decorated Sugar Cane Train each evening. Great fun!
Our only regret was that we had not invited another couple to join us in this spacious and welcoming cottage. It was spotless and more than we anticipated. We highly recommend a stay at # 39!

I can't say enough about this house and how perfect it was for our family. If you're looking for something homey and non-touristy, then this is your place. We loved being in a quiet area that was still only a 5 min walk to the beach. My kids loved the pool too which was almost always empty. The house has everything you could ever need and more. We cooked a number of meals and the kitchen was fully stocked. The board games kept us entertained on the one rainy day we had stuck inside. The bedrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of space. Terry is a wonderful host - he always responds to questions or concerns immediately and was incredibly kind and helpful. We hope to come back to Maui again and will definitely be booking this house.

Lovely property, well maintained with beautiful views. Close to the property’s pool and near the beach with excellent snorkeling. Manager answered questions in a very timely manner. Bonus was attending a show in Lahaina at Mic Fleetwood’s bar/restaurant.
