Photos and Description of the Kihei vacation studio rental
Studio, Studio + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

Looking for the perfect setting for a honeymoon, anniversary or a much needed getaway? This large and airy studio benefits from a large expanse of windows on one side and a shaded courtyard on the other. The studio cottage was built in the style of the attached 1926 plantation-style home that also occupies this property. The studio has vaulted ceilings and a large covered lanai.

The studio sits on a large (1/2-acre) corner lot. The mature hedges, shade trees, and palms surrounding the property provide amazing privacy even though you’re just steps away from the beach and a short walk to shops.

A hot tub sits ten feet from the spacious covered private lanai in a quiet courtyard with gas BBQ, outdoor dining table, and chaise lounges. Relax surrounded by lush mature palms, orchids, and other tropical plants with a large Royal Poinciana tree towering overhead.

The Plantation Bungalows property includes a 3 bedroom main house, VRBO listing #357982 and a cottage, VRBO listing #41601 making the property a perfect place for family gatherings.

Beaches

Kihei has some of the best beaches in the world. The house is just 300 feet from the beach so you can grab a mask, snorkel, and fins (provided as a complimentary service) and head down first thing in the morning to swim with the marine life. You’ll probably see large sea turtles while you snorkel. In the winter months, you can view whales from the shoreline as close as 100 yards offshore. Or grab a beach chair and a cold drink and take a very short walk to a private and sandy beach (suitable for small children). Kihei faces west so the sunsets here are amazing. If you’re looking for more excitement, take advantage of the multitude of beaches nearby for body surfing, surfing (you can take lessons at “The Cove” nearby), snorkeling, paddle boarding, or virtually any ocean activity you can think of!

The Town of Kihei

Kihei is a great tropical beach town and everything you need is within walking or cycling distance (cruiser-type bikes are available as a complimentary service). In fact, you may decide to just park the car. Kihei and nearby Wailea are also known for their fabulous golf courses. The Elleaire golf course is nearby as well as five more courses a few miles away. Kalama Park, just one block away, has tennis courts, an in-line skating rink, a skate park, award-winning restaurants, and grocery stores.

About Kristin Holmes

Our family; my brothers and their wives own this delightful property together. Each of us appreciates the quality, character and the sense of place that is evoked from this property.

Kristin Holmes purchased this studio in 2011
Why Kristin Holmes chose Kihei

Our family has roots on Maui dating to 1883. This home and the setting captures an era that speaks to us in a way that you can only experience. It reminds us of the carefree lifestyle associated with the islands.

What makes this studio unique

Our favorite comment is that you'll feel like you live here...even it if is just for a short time. We love it when our guests share how much they appreciate staying in a home rather than a condo.

Just returned from a 5 week stay at the Plantation Studio. This was our second stay and we are working on booking again for next year. We are a retired couple and we find this property meets our every need. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that Kristin had made all of suggested changes/upgrades on what would, in our view, enhance the property. We highly recommend the property as we have stayed at a number of various condos on Maui and we find this one very well balanced in value for what you pay and what you get. The photos in the listing show very well what you will find when you arrive. The cottage and the large house on the property were occupied most of the time during our stay and there were never any issues. In fact it is a great opportunity to meet other people from around the world.

Happy Canadians

We are a Canadian couple in our 60s. We spent 4 nights in the studio as part of a 2 week vacation. Our only regret is that we didn't book longer. The studio had been substantially renovated and was like new. The setting and the set up were perfect for our stay. The unit is ideally located in Kihei, close to the beach yet a block or two away from the noisy traffic. The landlord is a delight and the grounds beautifully treed and landscaped. We made use of snorkel gear, bicycles and the kayak that are provided. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

Kihei Studio - Fantastic place to stay

Submitted: March 4, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We spent a most enjoyable 5 days in Kihei at the Bungalow. The location is excellent and the area is quiet. We tried out the ocean kayak, the bikes and appreciated the beach chairs and mats. We were thankful to have use of shower before our late evening departure. Thanks Kristin - you will hear from us again.

Our Little Spot of Paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: January 14, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
We had an absolutely wonderful stay here in the Studio and found the property features to be "right on". The location was perfect---just off a main road in Kihei and within walking distance to several beach areas, a few restaurants, and grocery shopping. We enjoyed the many accommodations and especially enjoyed the outdoor grilling features, our lanai, the gardens, and the other guest families. All guests at the Plantation Bungalos enjoyed cooking and we frequently found that the "food fairy" had appeared on our doorstep with a few grocery leftovers as guests families departed.

As we stayed for a full three weeks, we were able to enjoy Maui's beauty at our leisure, going back several times to a favorite 'discovered' area. We highly recommend 2-3 days in Laheina as there is much to do and see in that area. The Road to Hana is a 'must' and a full day adventure. The vistas were just breathtaking beyond description. A day of walking and shopping in Paia is great. Of note to all, Maui has wonderful galleries and the works of area artists and photographers abound.
We bought the museum passport that gave us entry to area museums and enjoyed those visits and historical perspectives. Perhaps of all our adventures, we found the Iao Valley the most profound. The vistas were constant and one can spend the better part of a day just soaking in the beauty of that Valley. On another day, we went back to the area and toured the Iao Valley State Park with its various villages, representative of the several cultures that settled the Hawaiian Islands centuries ago.
We enjoyed many dining experiences, but our favorite was breakfast at Three's Bar & Grill, their Happy Hour and eclectic dinner menu. We also enjoyed a special romantic evening at Cafe O'Lei with a 5 course meal and perfect wine pairings.
In closing, we were highly satisfied with our stay at the Plantation Bungalos and are happy to recommend this property to anyone wanting a perfect place to stay while enjoying Maui. Host Kristin Holmes and her staff were delightful and anticipated our every need. Everything was just as described on vrbo.com-----only better. We thank you for a wonderful visit and plan to return next Whale Watching Season...Aloha and mahalo to all

I've stayed here twice and loved it both times. Great location. Awesome courtyard. Comfortable digs. A great way to visit Maui and avoid the mega-hotels/condos. Perfect for a couple or single traveler.
