Private Cottage on an acre lot at Keawakapu Beach - This is island living!

Two restored cottages just steps to Maui's Keawakapu Beach (literally 1-minute walk on paved sidewalk, no car needed) are now available as permitted vacation rentals. (VRBO#736502 & VRBO#785888) Steps from the best sandy swim beach, Maui Mango Cottages offer a local experience for visitors who want privacy and space adjacent to Wailea Resort amenities including restaurants, golf, spas, shopping and a 3-mile-loop beach walking path. The island-style beach cottages sit on the border of Wailea and Kihei offering the best of both experiences. Mature mango trees have provided shade and fruit to the landscaped acre of land for more than half a century as the cottages were some of the first dwellings in south Maui. Enjoy space for your entire family or party up to 10 when you rent both cottages.

Window A/C units throughout, all the amenities of home with island inspiration -relaxing lanai, kitchen stocked with all the utensils and dishes, and mango trees providing shade and mangos for breakfast in season. The cottage is one of two houses on the 1-acre property with a large landscaped yard and parking. Beach chairs and boogie boards are provided and carried easily down the sidewalk the short 1-minute walk to the beach.

We invite you to enjoy our corner of paradise where sunshine meets the sand and surf, and where you are sure to create lifetime memories.

Close to beach

We really enjoyed the close location to the beach. People park along the road next to this house to go to the beach because of its easy access to the beach. The owners were extremely responsive. We had a few issues that they responded immediately to, but I can’t say that about property management. When we had an issue and contacted them first, I was not impressed with their responsiveness. There is only one bathroom/shower, and we were all a little hesitant about the shower being outdoors, but all of us truly loved it. An outdoor shower in Hawaii makes a lot of sense!!

Great! Just can't do Laundry

The dryer was covered in some sort of clingy dirt balls. I tried to spray it down to see if I could quickly wipe it up but after 10 minutes of trying to clean it, I gave up. Really bummed about this. There was also no sponge, which made it difficult to wash our dishes well. However, everything else was awesome! Great spot!

Relaxing home base

My husband and I enjoyed staying in the Mango Cottage. Check-in and check-out was super easy. The residential location was relaxing and quiet and next to our favorite beaches! A little too far for walking to dinner but within a short drive to a healthy food store and plenty of restaurants. The air conditioning was a wonderful relief after spending all day outside. We loved the outdoor shower and other amenities the place has to offer, especially the powerful hose to wash off the sand. We definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing home base…with a yard large enough to enjoy and the mango trees amazingly beautiful and providing lots of shade. Too bad they weren’t in season, otherwise I’m sure we would have enjoyed eating those too. We will definitely consider this spot again when we return. Mahalo!

Perfect location, comfortable, low-key

This little cottage shouldn’t be judged on it’s external appearance, which is underwhelming. Once you step inside it’s instantly homey feeling and comfortable. The closets and cupboards are stocked with kitchen and bedding supplies to meet all your home away from home needs. AC units in both bedrooms and living room are key to comfort. They are a bit noisy, but in general having a stand alone house away from the condo/hotel scene is ideal for our family. The beach access is amazingly close and easy for a rental not directly on the beach. And having a wide selection of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and water toys available for guest use is such a bonus. A bit of an odd setup with bathroom/laundry room combo and outdoor shower, but it works! Reading about the outdoor shower before arriving I was a bit nervous, but it truly is great! My one suggestion would be to add something to the stone slabs to quell the heat if possible (some sort of mat or tape maybe?), because otherwise they’re way too hot to stand on in bare feet. Another suggestion is to put the “office” room to more functional use (add a bed or couch, or convert to a second bathroom?), because that seems like a bit of wasted space. Owners were very responsive to inquiries. Highly recommend this place!

5 star location; 4 star property

Literally an easy 5 minute walk from one of the South side's prettiest and most under-rated beaches (Keawakapu), Mango Cottage delivered big-time on location. Traveling with our two adult kids, it allowed us to come and go to a great beach as we pleased. The cottage itself was clean, spacious and generally well-provisioned. However, it is on the spartan side, both inside and out. From the outside it is a basic clapboard structure with small windows that can make the place feel cave-like. Though there was a lovely grassy back yard with a graceful tree, the deck itself was small and there was only a small round cocktail table available for the four of us. With a bigger table and something other than a single harsh outdoor spotlight providing light, we'd have loved to be able to actually eat our meals outdoors. Instead, we ate all of them inside. (On the plus side, the propane bbq was almost brand new.) The outdoor shower was a big hit; but it would have been nice to have had more than 2 hooks to hang our towels . These may sound like quibbles, but really they would be so easy to fix and we hope the owners consider doing so. Making the outdoor area more user-friendly would go a long way to make Mango Cottage 5 stars across the board. In the meantime, it's still a really well-located and functional place to stay.

I very much enjoyed the condo and location. The property was clean, well decorated, and had a great yard. It was also conveniently located to the beach and Kihei city center as well as all of the public parks and beaches that Maui and Kihei have to offer. Would definitely recommend to friends!

Mango Cottage is tucked away in a somewhat hidden spot, away from the bigger developments. It's on a big piece of land in a great location. The cottage itself is spacious and thoughtfully appointed.

Perfect Stay in Kihei!!!!

This cottage is fabulous! Conveniently located to Kihei and easy access to the highway to navigate around the island. The decor and finishes makes for a relaxing stay and having the AC units was a plus. The king size bed was comfortable and adequate storage for clothing. The outdoor shower is one of the highlights of this rental. Standing on pumus stone and looking up at the stars is such a wonderful experience. The cottage is very clean and well furnished. Loved having a gas grill for cooking dinner in but it was also an easy drive to the restaurants.

August in Kihei

The owner let us put our luggages in the cottage before the check-in time and that was really nice of her. Thank you! The house has beach chairs and umbrellas to use which we loved. It has an outdoor shower which I thought was strange but came to enjoy it very much. The smaller room does not have AC but it has a fan which is nice and needed. It’s a cute and quiet place which I definitely recommend to anyone going to stay in South Kihei.

Perfect for our vacation

Our family loved this property. We stayed in the 2-bedroom cottage with extended family in the bigger cottage next door. It worked perfectly for us. Location on the quieter south end of Kihei, proximity to the beach, and the beautiful yard were highlights. Property managers were easy to work with and made our visit easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful family vacation

My family loved staying at this property - with fresh mangos, even some roosters, and plenty of place for the kids to run around in the backyard. The trundle bed in the kids room added extra flexibility. The beach was very close, the cottage was very and well maintained. Staying at a house rather than a hotel helped us to enjoy a more local experience. Maui was amazing - thank you Maui Mango Cottages for helping to make our stay amazing!

Fantastic cottages and hospitality!

Our families spent a week at both cottages and we had a fabulous time! Cottage 2 was a bit older than 1 but was more than sufficient for our requirements. Can’t beat the location for sure, 5 mins from door to the best beach on the island. The cottages were very comfortable as well, with AC, which was much required in early August. They have the necessary amenities and beach gear which made it very convenient and enjoyable. The large yard and beautiful mango trees were a treat especially for the kids. We enjoyed mangoes for breakfast everyday! Kitchen is fully stocked with appliances and utensils, but definitely expect to bring your own condiments, spices etc. Yvonne and Charlie were always reachable and responsive to any queries, throughout the booking process and during the stay. Thank you very much for sharing the cottages! Hope to be back again!

We loved the location of the Mango Cottage! It was a couple minute walk to the beach and many shops and restaurants. The cottage was spacious for our family of 5 and everyone loved that they had their own bed. Of course, the favorite part being the outdoor shower. The only complaint, is that we had to buy toilet paper and trash bags.
