The house was clean and they provided all the amenities you would need including simple things like dish and laundry soap. Very well done. Views from the deck were fantastic. Access to the beach was great and you will see turtles on the beach everyday!!The location is great in terms of transit to airport, west Maui, Wailea, etc.There were a few quirky things that didn’t end up being an issue for us but might be for some. The house is adjacent to beach access so you will have people walking by. Was never an impact to privacy. Some people walked their dogs through the back yard, but never when we were outside. The main floor and the downstairs are only connected by the outside stairs. Again not a huge issue, but not something most are used to.All in all a great place. We had 14 stay there and were very comfortable.

We range in age from 1to 75. We watched the turtles come onto the beach every night. Beach chairs, boogie board & cooler were provided & kept each of us happy on beach. A short walk back to rental in case we forgot anything. Concierge made arrangements for car & paddleboard rentals. Cute shops & food trucks were a short drive away. Excellent location.

Wonderful place to celebrate a 65th birthday with all my family. Has a gorgeous yard, a convenient location, most comfortable lovely home, and fantastic views.

It's difficult to coordinate schedules for a big group, so the hope for a fabulous trip is pronounced. Villa Moana didn't disappoint! We had a wonderful and treasured experience. Five-star hospitality does not simply reflect the quality of the venue, but it is attributed to service and the small details. Wyatt was very attentive and interested in us. He communicated effectively and made sure things worked smoothly. He accommodated our preferences and needs and really made us feel welcome and cared for. Well done! The home is beautiful and very well appointed. It was very clean and in good shape. The kitchens and bathrooms were well stocked with utensils and paper goods. The washer/dryers were life savers. The beach accoutrements made things enjoyable and simple. The back lawn made gathering and play time easy for all ages. Our entire group could go on and on. We had a great experience and were so pleased. Thanks Villa Moana!

We had a group of 16 of us ranging from 4-70. This house and property was the perfect location for family dinners, short walks to the beach and the view was absolutely breath taking. The turtles came in every evening and that was amazing to watch. There was the best shaved ice and restaurants just a 5 min walk. We will absolutely stay there when we go back again. Highly recommend this home!

This was the most top-notch host I have ever met in my life. After my husband died on April 20 of 2024 one of his request was to be spread in Maui overlooking a beach where we often would go to look for seashells and sea glass. The first few months of his crossing, I could not sleep so I just kept looking for the right house and when I came across the advertisement for this one, I called my grandson who is 23 years old over to my chair and I asked him just think about a home that your grandfather would love. He took one look at this and he said that’s the house!
The homeowner understood the delicate situation that we were in and offered to go far over and beyond to help me celebrate my husband, and it made the perfect everything. The Concierge connected me to people who would pick us up at the airport to save us problems from the shuttle and rental cars, and then the people connected to her Also became like family just like this homeowner did. I cannot tell you enough how much they all showed respect and the true Ohana way. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this home. If anything I could say if it was on the market, I would seriously consider buying it. I highly recommend Wyatt and his team to anyone wanting a top-notch experience. Thank you to all! Mahalo! Aloha from the Jordan family.

We stayed at Villa Moana with a group for a birthday celebration and the beautiful home was perfect for us. The home is clean and well appointed - felt like it had all the amenities of a luxury hotel - and a short walk to the beach where we were greeted by sea turtles every evening.
We enjoyed the outdoor spaces (balcony and yard) and the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen are all modern and clean. The best part is waking up every morning with a view of the ocean. Wyatt is also very communicative and an excellent host and even provided a free concierge service (which we used and was fantastic!).
We would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat and hope to stay again!

This home was amazing! FULLY stocked with towels, and then more towels! Beach towels? Beach Toys? Games (board games)? Pots, pans, dishes? ALL COVERED.
When we had a minor issue (needed a few more blankets) or if a specific item was not available (they purchased us a waffle maker!), Wyatt and Scott were responsive and fully engaged.
We utilized the complimentary concierge services. The grocery orders we placed were purchased in advance and stocked for us. We also requested a private chef and had a meal prepared for one night of our stay.
This is, by far, the most friendly, communicative, and supportive rental on vrbo. Wyatt and Scott bring the true spirit of aloha! home :)

We had a family reunion with 17 of us, including babies, surprising my husband for his 70th birthday. We sort of accidentally found this house in Kihei, and it made all the difference in our trip. The large grassy back yard, the sea turtles at sunset, the nearby coffee shops, the well-supplied kitchen, and the lovely authentic town of Kihei all made this our best trip ever. It is convenient to harbours, a pineapple farm, the Te Au Moana luau, and the road to Hana as well as other hikes.
We used and needed all 3 spaces in the home, and it had everything we needed. There was room for parking all 4 rental cars. Thank you, Mr. Sharpley!

Villa Moana is a beautiful setting with some of the greatest views you will see in a vacation rental. We host our family somewhere in the US every year. This property is without a doubt one of best we’ve experienced. We had the entire property. It was clean and very well stocked. Wyatt was very responsive. I highly recommend it.

Our family of 20 were able to stay the whole week together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
It was perfect. Time to relax, time to play on the beach, time to explore the cute town of Kihea.
The house was beautiful and very conducive to both big fun gatherings and also private spaces.
There were lots of fun yard games and the chairs for the beach were very nice with "backpack straps".
Wyatt helped us in so many ways and was so attentive to our needs and questions. Couldn't ask for better!!!
Note to future visitors! Go out early when the wind is calm for your best beach time- afternoons can get very windy in June. The coral reef is great but plan to use paddleboards or inflatables to rest on since the coral is best viewed quite a ways off the beach where the water gets deep. So awesome to have such a beautiful beach and a coral reef to explore! And of course the turtles every evening were magical- one evening we saw 25!!!

We really loved our stay in Villa Moana. We had a group of 15 people, with ages ranging from 9 to 82, and the house and property were perfect for all of us. We were all able to be together, but also have our own space. Anything that we needed or wanted was at the house, ready for us, and in great condition! Wyatt went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect vacation. He was very communicative and helpful, especially with coordination before our stay.
We loved our location on Maui, the ocean views were beautiful. The family of chickens that wandered the property and the turtles that nested on the beach every night were also a fun bonus!

If I could give our stay more than 5 stars, I certainly would. This property has every modern convenience plus more! The location was beautiful with the water right behind the house, nightly turtle sightings, all the beach supplies you would need, and the peace and tranquility that comes with staying in Maui. Wyatt was a great communicator before, during, and after our stay. We would definitely consider renting again if staying on this side of the island.

Our stay was fantastic we did get nervous with the fires a couple weeks prior to our stay but Candace with the concierge service did an excellent job scheduling everything we wanted to do! With our large family the house allowed everyone to have there own space. The views were absolutely wonderful. The beach did have a lot of coral but the kids loved the sea turtles coming up every night. Wyatt was prompt answering all of our questions and accommodating anything we needed even on the weekend and holiday. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday gift from my children.

Wow, words cannot describe this Maui paradise. I booked this place for a post Covid family vacation. Our three grown sons and their families. Thirteen total. Plenty of room for our family of 13. The place was totally amazing with the best sticker kitchen we have had, the amazing sunsets, amazing sea turtles on the beach every night and amazing bonus goodies and flowers. The location was amazing. It was central to all sides of the island. We did a lot in one week from surf lessons, snorkeling, private hula lessons at tye house, old Lahaina luau, rain forest and vocal tour, sand castles, swimming, and lots of games. This is an amazing paradise largely because of Wyatt. He was very responsive, accommodating and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed We will surely be back. Thank you for helping us create some very special cherished memories

We just had an amazing stay at Villa Moana on Maui!
We were welcomed with a beautiful flower arrangement and two baskets of Hawaiian goodies.
We arrived to an absolutely beautiful, very clean home with the most amazing view. House comes with its own beach!
I have never seen a VRBO so complete with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen had every appliance you could want and more including a wonderful array of spices.
There were 16 of us, and we fit perfectly and comfortably.
We loved having everything from beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, life jackets and even lots of sand toys. There was a big yard that my 8 grandkids played kick ball, croquet and baseball. Even the adults got involved!
We all especially loved the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles who came up each night to rest on the beach only to leave at 5:15 am the next morning. We all enjoyed this daily. What a thrill!
Wyatt has paid every attention and detail into making this an exceptional VRBO. He was prompt in answering any questions we had before our trip, and made sure we knew he was there for us for anything that came up.
We definitely recommend this home on your visit to Maui.
Sincerely, The Osborn’s

This was the most incredible house to stay in for our big family vacation. Not one detail was missed in what was provided for our comfort and convenience. The quality of the layout, furnishings and what was provided was just excellent. The property manager and team made sure of our comfort. The welcome package was a big plus. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you! Love to come back in the future.

This place is amazing. There were ten of us and I rented the entire unit. I loved being in an actual neighborhood vs a resort area. We watched whales breaching and turtles from the backyard. The house was very well stocked. Anything we could think of was already there. Wyatt was helpful answering any questions we had. When I come back to Maui I will definitely try and stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Moana. Every need has been taken into consideration, LOTS of towels (a must in Hawaii), spa robes, high quality bath products, cleaning supplies, beach equipment, etc. etc. etc. It is by far the nicest rental we have ever stayed in. We visited as a large family group for my father's 80th birthday, and it was wonderful. We did early morning paddle boarding, family yoga on the lawn, snorkeling, enjoyed lawn games in the beautiful yard, took long walks on the beach, even got a little tennis in at the nearby park. It is in a very convenient location - close to stores and restaurants. Wyatt was amazing and incredibly responsive to anything we needed and we so appreciated the attention to detail in the house. It was a perfect place - everyone had space to relax and have quiet time (reading, remote work etc) but there were perfect gathering places for our large group to play games, share meals, play music together and make memories. We hope to be back when mom turns 80 in a couple of years! Our 20 something kids are already talking about it! Mahalo and much aloha to Wyatt for making it dad's "most memorable birthday yet!"!

The location was perfect for us ... on the beach and yet quiet. The house was supplied with everything that we needed; and ev everyone had their own separate space. We could not have asked for a more beautiful place for the family to gather.

The property and location were perfect for our gathering, as we had grandparents and two families with one young adult and 4 teenagers between them. The grandparents stayed in the studio suite while one family occupied the upper unit and the other the lower one.
Everyone had their own room. This allowed each person to have his or her own space, but also allowed the family to spend great quality time together. We enjoyed the games, access to the beach and turtle watching, and being close to shops, restaurants, and other amenities.
Wyatt is the perfect host. We can’t say enough about him. He was most gracious, provided virtually everything needed to make for a great stay, and was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The property itself is very clean and the ambience most certainly will put you in a relaxed state of mind.
Overall, our family was able to create fantastic memories and forever will cherish our time at Villa Moana. Thank you Wyatt for your unparalleled hospitality. Our family is most grateful.

Wyatt was incredible during the whole process from booking to check-in. He was extremely open on communication and ensured our stay was incredible - he was extremely helpful and flexible when it came to our check-in and check-out since we had our infant son with us that couldn't miss his nap times. The villa itself is beautiful, the views are stunning to wake up to every morning. The access to the beach to see sea turtles every night was so much fun, the kids absolutely loved it. The villa has everything you need and with separate areas it really helped with insulating sound for when our baby had to sleep. Overall it was a very memorable experience and we'd definitely stay here again next time we're in Maui. Thank you Wyatt!

The house is amazing! The backyard beach sunsets were beautiful and the sea turtles on the beach each evening was an added bonus. The owner was very responsive.

Villa Moana was the perfect house for our family vacation! We loved the house setup & the house was very clean. It’s on a quiet street but we loved the location. Easy access to beaches, restaurants, coffee shops & other parts of Maui. Wyatt & his team were very accommodating!

This home was beautiful and ideal for our family of 17 (11 adults and 6 children, ages 1 to 7). We had plenty of space to be together and plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms for privacy.
Our stay was perfect! The house is as described. Plenty of room and clean. Sunsets from the upstairs lanai were spectacular. Wyatt was quick to respond to any request. Everything we wanted was there – extensive kitchen equipment, beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling stuff, beach towels, etc.
We will definitely stay here again!!!

Villa Moana is nothing short of spectacular. Do you want luxury? You got it. Do you want privacy from the world? You got it. Do you want to see and hear the waves lapping at the shore from your generous lanai? You got it. This was a special “splurge” accommodation for my extended family, and it delivered in every way. Starting with clear and responsive communication with our manager (Wyatt), and supportive feedback from the included concierge service-it just got better and better. We will treasure our family memories of gathering around the expansive dining table on the lanai with 180 degree ocean and sunset views. The pictures on the listing are beautiful and accurate, but somehow also don’t capture the magic and majesty of the property! Too many benefits to mention, but included: beach and snorkel gear, a well appointed kitchen (and glassware for a serious party!), flexible living spaces for mixed travel groups (we had the kids and grandparents downstairs, as they all requested), secure parking, lawn games and lounge chairs, a game cupboard that made this board-game fanatic proud, close proximity to grocery stores and yummy restaurants. Let me be clear-we adored this house and tried not to ever leave it because it was so incredible, but the beach in front is best for viewing, due to rocky bottom and sea urchins (hey, they were here first!) we’d recommend a little walk up or down the beach for swimming . This beautiful oceanfront location is not immune to the current challenges of unsheltered people on nearby public beaches (as is the case all over Hawaii). It wasn’t a problem for us, but the more discerning high-end traveler (which we were certainly not) should know this is a residential neighborhood with mixed housing and not a bright and shiny resort area. I’ll take the privacy and location over a resort every time, personally. But in summary, Villa Moana is the stuff of dreams, and if it were in the budget I would be here every. Single. Year. Maybe more. If you’ve lasted this long reading my review, you should book it—you won’t regret it. In fact, you’ll remember this vacation all of your days like me and 14 family members who are sun kissed and smiling right now.

Wyatt was an amazing host, we had an excellent time at this property. The communication could not have been any better, very much top notch. It was very helpful that provisions were left by previous renters, there is everything you’d need while visiting like beach chairs, and that the house is so well cared for. The beach was beautiful, but the water is more shallow/rocky until you get out a ways. Can’t recommend a stay here more!

We had a pretty big family group that flew into Maui for my Dad's surprise 70th birthday. From the moment we booked online this beautiful home everything was smooth sailing. When we arrived to the house Scott was there ready to welcome us. He gave me a tour of the whole property and I kid you not they thought of everything!! We loved the home, we loved the property. We couldn't have picked a better place for our family to stay. Scott and Wyatt went above and beyond our expectations. The only thing that kind of put a damper on our stay was their neighbor. They have a 9pm quiet time and when they say quiet time they mean NO NOISE outside. They have this beautiful deck upstairs that we all loved and the breeze from the ocean was amazing...it was the best setting for our family to visited and catch up. But as soon as 8:45pm came around we were ushering people in the house so that we can close the sliding doors before the neighbor called the cops (which he did on us our first night). Our family doesn't party (alcohol, drugs, etc) we just love to talk, laugh, and sing. We had toddler's/babies and of course they were running around screaming and crying. We did that after 9pm on the deck our first night and the neighbor called the cops and we were asked to check out the next day. Luckily after begging Wyatt and promising him that it won't happen again...he let us continue our stay. After that first night and all that happened we really felt like we had to walk on egg shells so that we wouldn't get kicked out. So quiet time after 9am really means....NO NOISE NO NOTHING outside after 9pm. Other then the neighbor and the no noise after 9pm....Villa Moana Maui is definitely a piece of heaven on earth.

We had 16 adults in the property, and loved it! My parents were able to have their privacy when they wanted it in the studio, and the rest of us had plenty of room throughout. There was tons of room for all of us to eat upstairs, and enjoy the view. Communication with the owner was amazing! He answered all of our questions quickly, and was very helpful with ideas of where to eat etc. He also met us at check in, to show us the "run of the the home". The huge lawn area allowed for lots of game playing, which were provided by the owner. There is also a shed that held a lot of ocean toys, so check it out before you go shopping! I cannot say enough about this wonderful experience!
