Our family stayed here for spring break. We found the house well located and as advertised. The beachfront in the backyard was wonderful. It was exceptionally clean. The agent was outstanding. Met us upon arrival and responsive throughout our stay. Bob S

We had a fabulous week at South Beach Villa! We had two sets of grandparents, our family with two boys and our sister in law. We loved the location. Plenty of walkable restaurants and a cool food truck rodeo to walk to! We used the paddle boards and kayaks from the house for some fun on the water. We had sea turtles come to bask on the beach. We were a short drive to all the nice shops at Waleia and restaurants. I took the boys diving and we only had to drive 10 mins for the boat! We saw too many things to list here!! Janna and Carolyn were great! They connected us with Jess and Rob for amazing meals at the house! Also they connected us with Karen for all of our adventures! Can’t wait to see our family pictures out in front of the house!!

Love the property. The location is great in Kihei, close to stores restaurants, etc. The house itself was great and the pool was large and clean. We saw sea turtles in the ocean every day and the area was very private/quiet.
The kitchen was very well stocked with a large refrigerator that was more than adequate for a a large group.
The house was spotless and check-in was very easy. Beds and furniture were very comfortable.
Both Janna and Carolyn were extremely responsive in the lead up to our stay. On check in day Carolyn was there to hand over the house and give us a tour. The only hiccup on check in day was that the prior tenant apparently had taken off with the garage door opener. Janna obtained a new one in two days. Also during the stay there were some very minor maintenance issues that were dealt with very quickly. I can't say enough about how responsive the agents were.
Overall, loved the property and the service. We all are lookng forward to returning in the future!

The property is as described. Great access to beach which was used alot, especially early a.m. Pool and hot tub received ALOT of use. Great kitchen and common spaces. A few early glitches were rapidly addressed. Kehei is great location for exploring Maui.

The home was everything it was made out to be. Very well equipped for outdoor activities which was fabulous and made the stay very enjoyable. The area had several small retail centers that offered good choices for casual dining and included a local grocery which was very helpful. High end dining and shopping was within 15 minute drive which met our needs. Highly recommend this unit and would use it on future trips to Maui.

Our group fell in love with this home as soon as we entered! We all paused in awe as we found ourselves looking straight through the living room, past the beautifully lit pool area, through the coconut grove, to an absolutely beautiful sunset over the ocean.
The house is as beautiful as shown in the listing photos. There is a stunning view of the water from almost every room in the house! The outdoor area has a great layout, with multiple seating areas tucked around the pool and hot tub, and a space for everyone. We loved spending time out there! The bedrooms are a nice size, and four of the five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, which is good for a large group. Also, for our group of older adults, having several bedrooms on each level provided options for everyone, in terms of accessibility.
We also liked the location; Kihei is not a crowded, “touristy” area, but it has everything you need, and it’s an easy walk or drive to most shopping,restaurants, activities and attractions.
Our house manager Janna and her assistant were the best! They were friendly, responsive, and committed to making sure that our stay was perfect. The recommended concierge service was also excellent, making great suggestions, and helping set things up for us.
All in all, it was wonderful. We would all recommend Janna and this house to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet retreat, and would absolutely return here!

This was an amazing property! My husband, two daughters, youngest brother, mom, and I all stayed here, and the adults all had rooms overlooking the ocean.
We walked the beach almost daily and were gifted with seeing 4 turtles at one time! It was magical for all, and the grassy area was a short walk to a very private (yet public) beach.
My daughters loved the pool and sitting in the hottub was an amazing way to watch the sunset.
The property was close to Wailea (10 min drive) where we ventured for delicious food and shopping.
We would happily stay here again.

I'll begin my review by saying that the property management for this property is excellent. Janna was as helpful and responsive as could be. She met us at the house at checkin, reached out to us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed and was always a text or call away.
The house was great with a couple of exceptions that had a big impact on our stay. First, it is well located, steps to the beach, walking distance to restaurants, shops and groceries. The layout of the house is great for a large group and the pool and spa were the best. The house needs major deep cleaning and better routine cleaning. When we checked in there was dust on all of the furniture and dust and dirt and hair on the floors especially in the corners and along the edges of the rooms. There is a large accumulation on the hard to reach ledges and furniture that appears to seldom be cleaned. the refrigerator had left over food and was dirty, really dirty. The kitchen ware was also dirty and we ended up running everything we used through the dishwasher or hand cleaned. There are items that need to be thrown away and replaced. The biggest issue however was the air conditioning. The main part of the house and the master bedroom are fine. The four bedrooms on the other side of the house became unbearable as the day went on. The air conditioning unit for this side of the house is completely inadequate.
I would like to complete this review but I have run out of available characters. Limit is 1500

I would give the location 6 stars if I could as it was on the beach and across the street from shops and restaurants. The house itself is well laid out and quiet and the kitchen and outdoor grill surpassed our expectations.
We had some issues with mechanical systems and endured no air conditioning for 4 of the 5 bedrooms for our entire stay but the owner reacted appropriately. The hot tub controls did not work properly. We arrived right after a major storm and the drains were clogged so the pool deck was a little slippery.
Property Manager was available and responsive

We took our family of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids) to Maui and loved the location and amenities of this house! It was right on the beach with sea turtles coming up every night. Our kids loved the pool and hot tub; but the pool heater and hot tub jets were not working so that was a little let down.
But the home was beautiful and clean, they had beach chairs/umbrellas/toys for us made great recommendations for local excursions/golf/restaurants. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back.

The property is wonderful! Elegant furnishings, fantastic views and amazing outdoor living space. The coconut grove was breathtaking and the sandy beach had tons of turtles basking in the sun and swimming around. We loved walking to many restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores and most importantly, the beach. This is a dream house with a kitchen any chef would enjoy with everything you need to cook or barbecue. We loved the workout equipment in the garage and didn’t want our vacation to end. Our hostess, Janna, is so friendly, helpful and competent and she made sure our trip was perfect.

This home met the expectations and requirements for all 10 of us. It was amazing to have all 10 of us comfortably seated at the dining room table. The best part of the property was the backyard that featured the large pool with waterfall hot tub. The ocean view was amazing. We could view the sunset each night from the backyard seating. A surprise was finding all of the snorkel gear, beach supplies and bogey boards. And our host, Janna, was always responsive and helpful.

We moved into this beautiful property on Saturday 8/5/23. Eight adults and one 8 year old who lived in the pool! Gorgeous kitchen with everything we needed. Great grill and eating area outside too!
Every bedroom and bathroom was spacious and the beds were very comfortable!
We were welcomed with a beautiful Hawaiian flower arrangement when Caroline came to show us around the house! It was just so easy for everyone to be together or apart in this home! Spacious!
We were awakened by the house manager, Janna, on Wednesday morning with news of the devastation in Lahaina and the ongoing wildfires. She was in constant communication with us until we made plans to leave as officials were recommending visitors leave Maui to free resources for local residents. We were sad to leave but Janna smoothed the way for us with her concern and calming presence.
Much love to Maui during this terrible time…

We felt more like we were guests in someone's home, rather than in a VRBO rental. The house was lovely. It was beautifully maintained and very well stocked. Since we were traveling with our kids and grandchildren, we ate most meals in; the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and sheets and towels were lovely. There were loads of beach towels. We all loved the pool and spa. The pool had a wade-in entry which was nice for young people and old! Our little ones made good use of all the beach toys. The house is well located, with beach access and near shopping and lots of other great beaches. Shortly after we arrived the property manager stopped by to welcome us. Any questions we had during our stay (which were few) were responded to quickly. We would definitely like to stay in this home again.

Perfect oceanfront location. Early morning walks to see the turtles on the beach, sunsets each night. House was great with four ensuites. We only had one minor issue with the hot tub which was remedied quickly. Wouldn’t hesitate to return soon.

Property was great, from the welcome flowers from Janna to her communication throughout the week, to not having a need for much of anything at the house, we loved it! 2 adults and 6 teenage kids fit the house comfortably, and kids loved the access to the paddleboards and kayaks, and we all loved the pool! Overall a great place!

What a lovely home! We celebrated our 25th anniversary, our son’s graduation from his masters program and our daughters graduation with her bachelors. Had a total of 6 adults and this house was perfect! Steps to the beach and could hear the waves from the pool area. Super clean and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

THE PROPERTY IS AS NICE AT IT LOOKS LIKE. LOCATION ON MAUI IS GOOD AS IT IS VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED TO MOST THINGS ON THE ISLAND. IT IS RIGHT ON THE BEACH. PERIOD. NO WALK TO GET TO IT, IT IS OUTSIDE THE DOOR JUST PAST YOUR OWN PERSONAL POOL. THE PROPERTY MANAGER WAS VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS WAS THAT THERE WERE SOME THINGS AT THE HOUSE THAT YOU DIDNT HAVE TO RUN RIGHT TO THE STORE AND GET LIKE, PAPER TOWELS OR TOILET PAPER. I WOULD RECOMEND IT.

The area for this home is incredible. So much to do but also a very quiet area for some much needed family time.
The turtles on the beach at night are a once in a life time for those of us visiting and the whales jumping out of the water is just an expense everyone should see. I really does your heart good.

Peaceful, serene setting. Quiet. The 5 bedroom layout worked perfectly for our group. Loved that 4 of 5 bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms. AC worked well when needed. Sheets so soft. Loved all the choices of patio seating in sun or shade of umbrellas. Pool and hottub perfect. Watched whales breaching and the turtles beached on the sand in front of the home. Can't think of anything else needed. Thank you for sharing your home!

The property manager was amazing. She always responded promptly to our
questions, etc. She checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well and to see if we needed anything. The house was extremely clean and they made sure to provide everything possible for a great stay. Great attention to detail! The pictures made the house appear larger than it actually was. But, we loved the property/home/manager and look forward to booking here again. GREAT job!!

We had a wonderful visit with our family. Location is amazing- beautiful beach and close walking distance to great restaurants and services. Kihei was an easy jumping off point for many activities and very quiet/peaceful.
The house is gorgeous and has many amenities. The property manager is very easy to communicate with. I’d give 6 stars if we could! Highly recommend this place

This was an absolutely wonderful place for our family to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We especially enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and view of the ocean. The home offered us privacy and space to spend time and eat together. It was within easy walking distance of restaurants, food trucks and shave ice…everything we needed. It will remain a very happy memory

We have stayed in many VRBO homes and not been disappointed. This house is not describable. The pictures on line look wonderful and the reality of the house is much better. Ten of us from age 3 to 70 loved everything about this property. Great layout, great pool, great beach and great sunsets. It is a dream come true

Our three-generational group spent a week in Maui with this lovely home as our home base. We've used VRBO homes often and have found that pictures are not always accurate. This home is every bit as beautiful as the pictures, and the setting is perfect. We used the beach, pool, and hot tub daily, yet still had time to easily explore the island because of its convenient location. The home was well stocked - we especially appreciated the abundance of pool and beach supplies. We often saw turtles on the beach, as well as swimming near us as we kayaked. Beds were very comfortable and having 3 masters all overlooking the pool & ocean was perfect for our group. Relaxing on the balcony and enjoying the view was also a highlight. A thank you goes to Janna, who was an exceptionally responsive host. Highly recommend this gorgeous home!

We had a party of 6 adults and 4 young children. We all had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our needs and so well equipped. The pool area was wonderful and the kids also loved the green area at the rear and easy access to a lovely beach. We saw giant sea turtles every day which was a great thrill for my grandchildren.
We will definitely be visiting again.

This gorgeous home is located on a quiet residential street. It is not an overstatement to say that it was exceptionally clean and well-stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the extra fridge in the garage was great for our large group. We were very pleased on our arrival to see that the carpeting in all of the bedrooms and on the stairs, as shown in the listing photos, had been replaced with hardwood flooring. There was a full moon the week of our booking and it was magical to see the moonrays shining through the coconut grove and on the waves along the beach. South Beach Villa was the perfect location for our family reunion.

Multigenerational family vacation, with ages 1-77. House was perfect for all. Location right on beach cannot be beat. Also has gorgeous grassy area with palm trees - we had a photographer take our family photo there. We also used the pool with the awesome pool toys every single day, several times a day. House is well-stocked with everything you could want, from cooking supplies to kayaks. Thanks for an amazing week!

Our family enjoyed every moment of our time here! The pool, hot tub, and beach access were awesome. The location is great. We had guests ranging in age from 86 (downstairs ocean suite was perfect) to 12 and there was a comfortable spot for all. The home is very well stocked from towels to kitchen supplies and the property manager, Janna, is always there if you have any questions. She gave us a wonderful private chef recommendation too. Highly recommend staying here, Thank you so much.

We had a great time and the house was perfect. 100% as advertised and super clean. The layout of the house was perfect for our 3 little family pods. What a beautiful home to spend our vacation in and we would love to return in the future. Bonus we saw 30-40 turtles on the beach every night.

The house is beautiful, the location is excellent, the views are amazing! We watched whales from our balcony, we saw sea turtles on the beach out in front of the house, there were pool and beach toys for the kids, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and supplies, the beds were comfortable, I can not say enough good things about this property! Simply amazing, we hope to stay there again!

The house was the perfect size for our family of 10. Our group of 6 adults and 4 children under 5 had plenty of space in this beautiful home. We had all the necessary pool and beach toys for the kids and we all enjoyed the pool. The location of the house is perfect-walking distance to town, short drive to airport, and central to other parts of the island. We stayed at the house all week because we were having such a good time at the pool, walking on the beach, and seeing several turtles every day! Janna was very accessible and eager to help us with any request.

January 2022
The location is great -- 100 feet or so from the beach, a few minute walk to S. Kihei Street and a bunch of restaurants, short 12 min drive to Wailea, 25 mins to OGG, etc. The house is spacious and nicely stocked including beach chairs, towels, etc.. It has pool and hot tub, and nice set of outdoor furniture. The pool does not have a cover and will get debris in it, so you will have to skim the pool for 5 mins or so every day if you plan to use the pool (but it does have weekly pool service on Tuesday mornings). Checkout is at 10 a.m. and would be nicer if it was 12 noon, but to their credit they did extend to 11 a.m. for our family and let us leave our luggage in the garage til 12 noon while we walked to a local restaurant and then came back and got luggage and went to OGG. Janna the property manager is delightful to interact with.
Mary D.
January 2022
The house is really fantastic. We had 6 adults (some working remotely) and plenty of space to spread out, great wi-fi, etc. Most importantly---the location is perfect, and the combination of a pool, hot tub and steps to beach...hard to beat. House was well-equipped for the many cooks we have and for the outdoor enthusiasts as well. The property manager, Jana, was terrific too--accessible and very helpful.

November 2021
This house and location exceeded all expectations. The house was a perfect fit for our family of 10 people. The owner has lots of water toys, so we really never had to leave the house. The setting and the view could not be more perfect. There is no surf, and the beach is a little rocky, so we spent most of our water time in the pool and hot tub, which was great. The location is right in town, so we could walk to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. While we were there, we spent some time driving around, looking for other houses or resorts for our next trip, but we did not see anywhere else we would like to stay more than this house. This house is perfect, and Janna was eager to help with any needs during our stay.

8 of us stayed here including 2 toddlers. The house was perfect for that size family. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was well stocked, lots of kids beach toys. chairs, towels, and pool floats. Everything worked really well and the house was in very food condition. The location of the house is great with easy access to the beach, stores, and restaurants.
This will be a return trip for us!

South Beach Villa is exactly as advertised...paradise on Maui! The house was incredibly well appointed, very comfortable, and perfectly located with pool and beach right out the back door and restaurants and shopping within 2 blocks of the front door. Our host, Janna, was very responsive, attending to all of our needs and an absolute pleasure to deal with. After a two year rescheduled around COVID, Janna made our dream journey with six close friends a week to remember. If you can book this property, you'll always remember it with fondness.

We have been renting houses in Hawaii for 10+ years. This is the best house ever, it has it all. Typically we stay on Oahu, however, this house made us fall in love with Maui. The location is perfect, close to everything. Pool and hot tub were used everyday. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and the central AC was greatly appreciated on the hot afternoons. And the sunsets were awsome!

Janna was helpful and communicative from the first contact. This reservation was made a year in advance as we were planning our daughters wedding.
The property is clean and location is excellent. All of the coming and going if our week fit perfectly with this property.

Beautiful home .

Everything about this property was exactly as described. It was perfect. The outside area with pool and hot tub was beautiful and so relaxing. More than enough lounge chairs, outdoor seating to accommodate everyone. Spent most of time out on patio. Views of ocean and sunsets were amazing. Turtles on beach in front of the house every evening. The house itself was also perfect. It was very clean and well cared for. The kitchen was well stocked with everything anyone would need. Extra amenities available such as towels, beach chairs, kayaks ect made it a worry free vacation. Close enough to walk to stores and restaurants. Everyone ages 13-71 enjoyed every minute and looking forward to returning to this wonderful property.

My family of 6 (4 teenagers) stayed the of the fourth of July and had a wonderful time. The house was just as advertised and the pool was fantastic. The only way to top the pool was the amount of turtle activity on the beach right outside the house. We used the kayaks provided by the owner and were literally surrounded by turtles, it was quite an experience. Just be careful of falling coconuts on the short walk to the beach :-) The location was very convenient to Wailea shops and restaurants. We actually had two excellent private chefs come in for two nights that were recommended by the listed agent. Wonderful experience and hope to visit again.

We surprised our parents with a family reunion by flying in from different parts of the country and spent a wonderful week at this beautiful home. We loved watching the sunset on this quiet stretch of sand together in our beach chairs, enjoying the early evening as the stars came out. Walked to the grocery store and nearby fish restaurants!
