It's a Beach House! A place to relax, unwind, listen to the breeze through the palm trees, absorb the ocean views. Start with your morning coffee on the huge ocean view deck (perhaps in a rocking chair). Or take your cup, and walk a minute or two over to Kuau Beach. Sit on the sand, watch for turtles, and plan another day of exploring Maui.
Paia town is just over a half mile down the road to the west, with a fabulous collection of restaurants, shops, and services. Mana Foods (Maui's best health food store) is in the middle of Paia town. Be sure to stop for pizza at Flat Bread, and enjoy fish tacos at the Fish Market. For that special dinner out, Mama's Fish House is a mile in the opposite direction.
The north shore is a unique area. There are beaches scattered along the coastline - Kanaha Beach (great windsurfing), Spreckelsville Beach, Baldwin Beach with Baby Beach sitting on the west end of it, Paia Bay, Kuau Beach, and Hookipa. There are no large buildings, no large hotels, and no chain stores. If that's what you're looking for, you'll need to head to the south or west side. From the north shore, it's a quick drive to the upcountry area with a rural, farming environment. Moving further up the hill is Haleakala Crater, a "must see" while you're here. This area also puts you at the starting point for the day trip to Hana.
Looking for excitement? In Maui, that usually means some extreme ocean action. Hookipa Beach is just a mile to the east. It's fun to sit on the beach and watch the surfers, windsurfers or kiters. Mid to late afternoon the sea turtles come out of the water to rest on the east end of Hookipa beach. Some afternoons we've counted more than sixty. Quite a sight!
Searching for a special place for your time on Maui? Look no further. When you drive up to our Kuau Beach House, you'll see the aqua garage door and chuckle. Somehow it's so cheerful it just makes me smile!
As you walk up to the entry door, you'll be looking straight through the house to a big ocean view (another reason to smile). Step into the house to discover a spacious great room, with a huge wall of sliding doors stretching across the entire space. These doors open to an overhung deck that runs the entire length of the house. The deck is set up for outdoor dining (teak table, gas BBQ), The best feature.... comfy rocking chairs and a huge overstuffed chair, all looking across to the ocean.
Do you love to cook? The kitchen is set-up for you, with a Viking range, large side by side refrigerator, and enough cookware to create gourmet delights.
Bedroom #1 faces the ocean (of course...), with sliding doors to the deck. It has king bed, and an ensuite bathroom. And the best feature.... fabulous outdoor shower just outside this master bath (of course there's an indoor shower also).
Bedroom #2 sits to the back of the house. It has a king bed, and access from the bedroom to bathroom #2.
Bedroom #3 is set on the upper level, surrounded by windows and a view to the ocean. This is a large room with a king bed and a twin bed.
Bedroom #4 is for the couple seeking privacy. It's set to the side of the house with a sitting area, full bathroom on the main level, and a bedroom with queen bed and single bed on the upper level. Just outside the bathroom door - another outdoor shower.
Want to play frisbee or volleyball (bring your own net and ball)? Kuau Beach House has a half acre of property set below the house for you to enjoy. Lots of room to run around the play.

Kuau beach house has been an absolute dream. This is my favorite place I have ever stayed from the view alone. The lanai is the show stealer. Lots of seating and a gorgeous view. Steps from the beach where we saw sea turtles every day. From the moment we turned into the neighborhood I knew it would be special. Lots of beautiful vegetation, quiet, private and the views! The walk to the front door feels magical. With the stepping stones, flowers, my daughter loved looking for lizards and putting the fallen flowers in her hair. The outdoor showers have been a game changer. To shower with a view of the ocean, chef’s kiss! We had many family meals at the table and the kitchen is well stocked. All the wood work on the property is beautiful. The couch is cozy. The home doesn’t have a/c, but it’s open air and there is always a breeze. The only downside for me was the beds were firm, I prefer a softer bed. This has truly been an amazing place to stay and my family is so sad to leave. Paia is a whole vibe. 10/10 recommend!

Spectacular views. Well appointed property. Friendly geckos. Walking distance to town. Turtles at the swimmable beach within a stone’s throw from the house. Amazing and hope to stay again!

This property is so much more than a vacation rental. Its views are breathtaking and close access to everything is so nice. The property manager has been wonderful. She has been very efficient and kept me up to date on everything. Very clear instructions as well.

What a beautiful place! We spent a glorious week with our children and their wives and a granddaughter in this wonderful house. Great floor plan and the lanai was the best!

This beach house was as advertised. Location was perfect. House was comfortable. Best part of home is the large deck that looks out over the ocean. This was our first visit to Hawaii and the vacation was better than expected. The house was no exception. The only drawback, (and maybe we were naive being from the Midwest) was the number of geckos in and about the house. I've been told that is normal, but we were admittedly surprised.

I booked this house as a family vacation for 8 people and it was perfect. Everything looked as good as the pictures provided. The location of the house was very secluded with almost

Overall the location was absolutely sublime. We were there 9 nights and enjoyed everyone one of them. Distance from the house to the beach couldn't get much closer. We spent 40+ hours on the deck in the morning and evening just enjoying the ocean view.
