Two sliding glass doors lead to your private deck(Lanai). A gas BBQ grill, washer & dryer, Outside shower, and access to the pool and POOL deck 9 am to 8 pm daily with a water slide. THE HEATED POOL IS SHARED WITH OWNERS ONLY, NO OTHER RENTALS ARE ON THE PROPERTY. If we happen to be at the pool please join us. Most of the time we do leave once we know you are home. If you wish to rent a private house with a totally private pool then you will have to keep looking for another property that will cost you over 1000.00 a night here on Maui. Please know this is our home and we are sharing it with you. Located within 1 mile of Beaches, Restaurants, Grocery Stores, and World-Class Wailea Resort. The cottage has Wi-Fi.
SINCE CONVID 19 WE HEIGHTEN CLEANING IN OUR COTTAGE FROM HERE ON OUT. WE WILL CHANGE THE BEDSPREAD AFTER EVERY GUEST. EVERY THROW RUG WILL BE CLEANED AND DISINFECTED. ANTIVIRUS SPRAYS TO CLEAN ALL BATHROOM AND KITCHEN SURFACES ALONG WITH ALL DOORKNOBS AND REMOTES. SHEETS AND TOWELS WILL BE WASHED IN ANTIBACTERIAL SOAPS.
As of JUNE 15TH 2021, WE HAVE CONVERTED THE POOL TO A SALTWATER POOL SO NO MAJOR CHEMICALS. FYI,I MAKE THE CALENDAR AVAILABLE 18 MONTHS OUT. TRAVEL IS HARD WITH COVID SO I DON'T WANT TO BE TOO FAR IN ADVANCE


House Rules: We are in a working community so quiet time is before 8 am and after 10 pm, please. That's why we are the perfect property to relax and enjoy your vacation. We have a wonderful pool water feature and the pool is heated. Why heat a pool in Hawaii? The pools can drop 15 degrees during our winter months. So it's important to find that out when reserving a hotel or house in Dec, Jan, Feb, and March in Hawaii. The pool is open from 9 am to 8 pm but the pumps for the waterfall and slide turn off at 5 pm, you can still use the pool. Just can't have pumps going more than 8hrs a day for the slide. The pool is 36 feet long 3 1/2 feet to 7 1/2 feet deep. Once again I will mention the pool is shared with only us the owners. We have been asked by a few guests if they can hang out after 8 pm. The reason we have that in place is our community is like an amphitheater sounds travels far. Some guests were being very loud and our neighbors weren't too happy about the noise. With that said PLEASE don't have your children screaming while at the pool, again remember your booking in a working family community. So maybe a hotel would be a better fit if you're looking to party after 8 pm or have children that have to scream the whole day in a pool.
Outdoor Shower, Private Entrance, private off-road parking area & Yard and Minutes from World Class Beaches & Golf.
Our activity and Snorkel store offers discounts to our guests at Maui Sights & Treasures.

In Bedroom 2 there is a Berth Bed with a Twin Mattress which is perfect for a teen or child, not an adult. The mattress is a regular twin size. You need to be honest about how many guests are in your party, we live on the property so we will know. You can't show up with more people than you advise us is in the party. We will ask you to leave if not honest. We want no one sleeping on the sofa or air mattresses.

Highly recommend!

My family of 4, two adults and two teens stayed in Elaine’s cottage for our dream vacation in Maui. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, full kitchen, laundry and the most comfortable beds! I think this is the first vacation I wasn’t missing my own bed. The pool and deck area was also a big hit for the afternoons we weren't being tourists. Elaine was great to deal with and lovely to chat with. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.

Amazing everything

The property is absolutely incredible. Elaine provided all the information in advance and instructions were all very clear. The place itself is nicely setup. The kitchen had all the things needed for some quick meals and probably more if you wanted to do some additional cooking. For us at least, the proximity to amazing local food kept us largely out of the kitchen. The rooms were nicely setup, and the owners even had a pack'n'play for our toddler which was great. The pool was of course the star of the show and much fun was had by all swimming and sliding and enjoying our very own little waterfall! When not at the pool, the owners had some beach gear (chairs and even boogie boards). Some incredible beaches that were 5-10 min drive from the place left us with so many great choices. Would absolutely stay here again.

Perfection for a family of four

Stayed here for 10 nights. Perfect location. Close to beaches and restaurants and only 25 mins from airport. Clean and communion with owner fantastic. Used the lawn chairs and boogie board and cooler provided. Spend am at the beach and returned to this beautiful retreat to spend time at the pool. Having your own pool and grill to cook is so wonderful. Would highly recommend for sure.

Wonderful pool

Our family enjoyed a wonderful 9 day stay at Elaine and Alfie’s cottage. We were very comfortable and fell in love with many aspects of this beautiful property. During our stay we found the cottage well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The salt water pool and slide were fabulous and we loved the privacy of having it to ourselves. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Perfect Hawaiian get away

What a perfect spot. The cottage was everything as advertised. It had all the amenities and was very cozy, even in the heat. Beds were very comfy and kept cool from the A/C. The pool area was the treat though. Spent at least apart of everyday, sometimes all day, out at the pool. The whole property was amazing, and that avacado tree was enormous. Had all the gear you need for a day af the beach, but the umbrellas may need an update/upgrade. I would recommend this cottage for anyone needing that time to get away. Perfection.

Great stay!

Miss Elaine’s place was fantastic! We had everything we needed. The place was clean, not too far from the beach, and it was close to stores and restaurants. We rented a car and only had to fuel up 2 times during the 2 weeks we were there. The pool was amazing, our daughter (5 years old) had so much fun hanging out at the pool. It was nice on days when we did not want to do too much. Beach days were awesome because she had 2 coolers, 3 beach chairs, 2 boogie boards and plenty of towels available for us! Only thing we rented was an umbrella. She was very accommodating. We had requested for a late check out since our flight was late in the night, and let us stay late till we had to leave for the airport. I would definitely stay at her place again and would 10/10 recommend it to others! Mahalo!

As Advertised

Host was very nice and gracious. The unit is what is advertised on VRBO. Clean, comfortable, and charming. We stayed in the property for 1 week and did not have any issues with noise, cleanliness, etc. Ample amount of towels and personal items for use. Pool was exceptional with a water slide that is unique. It was also a heated pool which made it great for swimming in the winter time. Overall, great experience and would recommend to anyone else who is looking at this property.

Great comfy cottage in Kihei!

Overall - great stay in the rental, all the amenities listed, and other items provided are accurate. The pool area is nice, pool has recently been redone. We met the host a couple times, and they were very kind, friendly and communicative. I noticed in a few other reviews that others complained about there being "too many rules". I worried about this before arriving, my take: - Home is in a normal neighborhood; they need to get along with/respect neighbors. - There are rules posted in a few areas, and within a booklet that has a lot of repetition - But really rules are: pool hours, don't leave the outdoor lights on all night, and reminder about it being a neighborhood. Nothing crazy at all, and if you put yourself in the shoes of folks who live nearby, it all seems totally understandable. I rated this 5 stars (we loved it), but I do want to mention a couple things so folks staying are aware: - The house does not have central air - it has 3 smaller wall units to cool. The host asks you don't run these when you are not home, which means returning to a sauna every day. I understand not wasting power, but coming home from an exhausting day of activities or just being in the sun and walking into a sauna was unfortunate. - Slide - the slide is only available between 9a-5a each day, which really bummed out my son who looked forward to this most before our trip and most days we weren't back before 5.

SO MANY RULES

There was an ungodly amount of rules at this property. So much so that we left the last two nights and booked a resort instead. There were a good amount on the listing, but I just figured the owners must have been taken advantage of in the past, so they are super firm upfront. The first thing they ask you to do, which most places also ask, is that you read the rule book. But holy moly, the rules are out of control. One example: "NO MARCO POLO. ITS ANNOYING." No slime, no play doh, no loud noises (in an outdoor pool!?), no sunscreen, no sitting on beds after applying sunscreen, no falling asleep on the couch and the most shocking to me was there is a rule that states if you are a woman on your period you must sleep on or sit on a towel anytime you are on the beds or couch. I just felt like I was the fun police and nervous we were going to get charged for breaking a rule the entire time we were there. It's also odd to me that none of the prior reviews mentioned these absurd rules! As far as the property itself it's gorgeous and equipped with everything needed for a day at the beach which was lovely!

Maui Gem!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Elaine’s bungalow during our visit to Maui. After spending the day exploring the island, we enjoyed returning to the house for pool time and relaxation. The entire property felt like our own private resort! One of the features we loved was the large, well manicured space outside to run around and chase lizards. The house was clean, cozy, and stocked with all the home essentials one would need including kitchen necessities and beach gear like towels, chairs, coolers, etc. We truly felt the house enhanced our trip to Maui and highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, exceptional, off-resort property in Hawaii.

Fantastic place!

We so enjoyed staying here, it was my husband and I with our 24 year old daughter and her boyfriend. Let me just say, none of us were too old to enjoy the pool and the water slide! It was so fun to have a pool that we could play beach ball volleyball in and just lay back on a floaty and listen to the millions of birds! The gazebo out by the pool was a lovely place to sit and watch the sunset in the evening. There are so many great beaches so close by and the town of Kehei is full of restaurants and food trucks. We loved having our own grill, we ate on the lanai most nights. It was nice to have laundry facilities so we could pack less. The house was clean as could be, well stocked, and just right for 4 of us. Elaine and Alfie were very pleasant but certainly not looming about. I would definitely like to stay here again!
