Private Oceanfront Makena Retreat for 2, Maui County Permitted Short-Term Rental
Makena Bay House | Private Oceanfront Retreat for Two
Imagine waking up to the sound of the Pacific, stepping onto your private lanai to take in the breathtaking oceanviews. Welcome to Makena Bay House, a private oceanfront retreat for two nestled along the beautiful shores of Makena Bay in South Maui. This intimate two-story home offers something that is increasingly rare on Maui: privacy, an exceptional oceanfront setting, and an unforgettable view away from the crowds. From the property, enjoy spectacular views of Molokini, Kahoʻolawe, and Lanaʻi, breathtaking sunsets, and—during the winter months—humpback whales traveling along the Maui coastline.
Your Private Maui Escape
The main living area is located upstairs, where large sliding glass doors open onto two private decks—one off the kitchen and one off the bedroom. The open, light-filled space features vaulted ceilings, beautiful bamboo floors, granite countertops, upscale fixtures, and thoughtful lighting. The comfortable master bedroom features a queen-size bed and its own private deck, giving you a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the ocean views. Downstairs, you'll find a private outdoor cabana that is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Maui. It includes a comfortable sitting area with TV, a wet bar with refrigerator, a gas BBQ grill, and a full bathroom. The washer and dryer are also located downstairs. Outside, enjoy the heated outdoor shower and private hot tub—an especially memorable place to watch the sun set over the Pacific.
The Pacific Is Your View
The location is what truly makes Makena Bay House special. The home sits along a beautiful, rocky shoreline, offering views of the Pacific and the surrounding islands. Hawaiian green sea turtles can often be seen swimming and resting in the waters below, and during the winter months, keep an eye out for humpback whales as they make their annual migration along the Maui coastline. You'll find some of Maui's best snorkeling and diving a short walk away. At night, the peaceful setting and minimal surrounding light create wonderful opportunities for stargazing beneath the Hawaiian sky. When you're ready to explore, the restaurants, shops, spas, golf, tennis, and beautiful beaches of Wailea are just minutes away. The renowned beaches and natural beauty of Makena are even closer.
If you're looking for a private, peaceful Maui getaway where you can slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of the Pacific from your own private retreat, Makena Bay House is the perfect place to call home.
