The Papaouli Beach House offers the rare combination of a private residence with breathtaking views of the Maalaea Bay while conveniently located a short walk to the grocery store and coffee shop. Mama & baby whales can be viewed in the waters of this “marine nursery” from the upper deck of the post & beam constructed house. Sunsets from the lower lanai are framed by palm trees and Pu’u Kukui mountain providing views that are both dramatic and romantic. Being right on the bay, the sweet air of the island trade winds come through in the afternoon and a star-filled canvas is overhead at night. Last but not certainly not least, loggerhead sea turtles can be spotted either poking their heads out of the water or on the beach for an afternoon nap. The only words to describe this special property that is, no doubt, at one with the environment: Maui no ka oi.
