Maui By The Sea is an absolute gem and I don’t think we could have found a better place to stay if we tried. Valerie was the most amazing host and made us feel incredibly comfortable for our entire stay. She was also helpful with local recommendations, and her property is absolutely gorgeous. The cottage is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a relaxing and serene spot away from the more heavy tourist areas, but still within walking distance to the beach and the local Paia markets, shops and restaurants (and easy driving to anywhere else on the island!). It feels like you’re staying in your own little home away from home which we loved so much better than being in a hotel or condo rental. All of the amenities you need are there, from the cozy bed to a fully equipped kitchen and your own covered parking spot. Sitting on the porch overlooking the sea and the West Maui mountains while you have your morning coffee, or sitting out in the yard chairs near the water provides such a calming experience and the most beautiful views. We had an amazing time and are planning to return and stay at the cottage again! Thank you Valerie for everything!
