In West Maui’s historic Lahaina Town, on the makai (ocean) side of Lahaina’s world famous Front Street, Lahaina’s Beachside Cottage is nestled amongst surf shops and beachfront residences. Greet the morning with gorgeous mountain views from the front stoop: the West Maui Mountains are often ornamented with low puffy clouds, rainbows and distant waterfalls. While not ocean view, the Lahaina Beachside Cottage has direct beach access to Kamehameha Iki beach, historically chosen by Hawaiian Royalty as their private retreat. A cultural renaissance is taking place here with preservation of an ancient heiau, plans to restore the Moku'ula island and pond, and the re-introduction of ancient sailing canoes. Once a year, in May, this beach park is host to the International Festival of Canoes. Pleasant and light, the Lahaina Beachside Cottage is designed as a duplex with two separate living quarters each offering two bedrooms (one queen and two twin beds) and one bath, making this an ideal vacation home for a family, families or group of friends. With the use of 2 queen sleeper sofas, Lahaina Beachside Cottage can comfortably sleep up to 12 guests. Enjoy the luxury of two full kitchens, white-washed window treatments, tropical hawaiiana-style furnishings including traditional Hawaiian quilts on the beds; clean, spacious living areas and a screened in sun porch. Both quarters open up onto a flat grassy backyard, planted with aloe, palms and ti leaf and complete with a BBQ grille. Gentle strains of bird song, children laughing and Tongan choir music drift lazily through the sunshine dappled backyard. Full kitchen, wireless internet, air conditioning, fans and cable TV provide the comforts of home. Please note there is no washer/dryer on premise. Two single carports on either end of the duplex offer ample off-street parking.
