OUR PROPERTY
300 ft from the ocean shore is this cozy and romantic home away from home. It's on our 1/2 acre at the corner of Alaniu ( Coconut Way) & Welakahao ( Go For It!) streets. This is an oasis of Old Hawaii with shops & restaurants 2 blks to the north & south of us. We started restoring our one of a kind 1927 plantation ' arts & crafts' style bungalow in 1977 and have done our best to preserve this old house and property and mature palms, keeping it all in the original style.. Come on down to Kihei Maui and enjoy a real private tropical getaway with affordable, reasonable rates! You won't be disappointed! It's a clean and bright artist's Studio with a wall of north light windows looking out on to the many tropical birds cooing an chirping away.. Everybody who has stayed here absolutely loves it. Start walking 4 miles of beaches just a block from this lovely, private cottage. Old Hawaiian families have lived in this charming neighborhood long before the first hotels made Kihei, Wailea and the beaches of South Maui an international destination.
The property introduces you to a quiet local style of life, but still close to all the "in town" amenities of sunny, beachside Kihei.
The hot tub and gas bbq are at the bottom of your lanai steps in the courtyard surrounded by lush palms, plants and orchids with a Royal Poinciana tree towering over all for shade.. The cottage has 14ft open beam ceilings, 2 a/c's and a ceiling fan and exhaust fan to keep it cool in summer. Beautiful island style decor with lots of rattan and wicker. Lots of beach stuff for your use, snorkel equpt., boogie boards, etc.. No smoking in the cottage, but OK on the lanai(porch), ashtrays provided.

It's a long trip over here, but once you are in your cottage, it's cool & comfortable and you can quickly shut out the world and rest up after your travel day. hot tub and have a nap on the premium comfy mattress, falling asleep to all the tropical birds on our property. Or grab your beach chairs and a cold drink, walk down to the beach and watch the sun set in to the ocean. Welcome to Maui!

Area Description

 Escape to paradise Maui Khei, June 13, 2008
By Maxine & Christian (LIVERPOOL ENGLAND UK)
After travelling to Florida & San Francisco visiting family with my boyfriend Christian. There's no place else but to relax at Steve & Toni's cottage we stayed there for 10 days. Its been the best experiencing holiday of a lifetime for both of us. The cottage was well equiped couldnt have asked for anything else. We loved having breakfast on the patio and listening to birds & gecko's. After been out all day we loved to chill in the courtyard with the lights dim when it was dark in the night time and have a BBq. We both will be coming back and sharing our experience with family and friends.
 
 perfect escape, May 13, 2008
By Taylor (New York)
We had the best experience at Steve and Tonia's house. The pictures do not do this wonderful home justice. We loved enjoying the patio every morning and the grill and hot tub in the evening.
 
By Heidi (Seattle, WA USA)
We have no way to ask for any improvement, as we don't believe there could be any. Our concern had been "too much contact with the hosts" and much to our relief, we were warmly welcomed,... and then left alone, with the promise of help if any were needed. Thank you for the use of all of the supplies, ie: mats, beach umbrella, coolers, snorkle gear, beach towels, beach chairs, etc, etc, etc. The decor of the cottage was absolutely beautiful and warm. We will be back! Thank you Steve and Tonia Rich and Heidi Troup
 
 Lovely Stay in Maui, Hawaii, January 29, 2006
By Jessica (Shoreline, WA)
We loved the cottage! The Baneys were the best hosts we could of ever imagined. We were enjoying our honeymoon and ran into some problems (getting our rental car broken into on Hana Highway and having left everything in our car like the brainless love birds we were) ended up on the Baneys porch in tears. Steve went to the bank and forwarded up some money to hold us over until we got everything straightened out with our banks. The Baneys went to extra mile for us at every turn - which we were and are so appreciative for! Dispite our catastrophy, we had a beautiful honeymoon. The cottage and courtyard are so much more beautiful in person and the tropical fragrance when you walk out the cottage is breathtaking. Everything you could possible need is provided at no additional fee, it is the perfect home away from home! And was more private then we had anticipated too! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

“What a great place to stay-right in the middle of everything! Thank you so much for opening your home, we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone interested in coming to Maui. ‘‘The best food is in Kihei.’
Megan and Derek, California

February, 2006
“Tonia and Steve, Thank you so much to let us stay in your studio cottage even though we inquired about it the last minute. It was a pleasant surprise that we were able to find such a wonderful place to stay in Kihei. We love how you decorated and maintained the cottage and supplied everything we needed. It is always hard to leave Maui, but this time it is much harder!”
Steve and Kotoko, Minnesota

January 2006
“After spending a week in the condo/resort setting, it was pure delight to come to the peaceful private setting offered by the Baney studio! Absolutely nothing was lacking.
We especially enjoyed the P’olenalena Beach—we saw a school of dolphins close enough to shore for those in the water to swim with them. Also witnessed a wedding on this beach. See you next year!”
Bill and Nancy, Wisconsin

January 2006
“Thanks so much for the great place to stay! We absolutely loved it here, it had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We go so much use out of all the amenities-we used the grill and hot tub almost evey night and the beach toys everyday! The Beach studio cottage was perfect for us and will definitely recommend it to friends and family planning trips to Maui . We were here for our honeymoon and would absolutely love to come back sometime for an anniversary!”
Kelly and Mike, Wisconsin

January 2006
“Thank you very much for your hospitality. We enjoyed this wonderfully unique Hawaiian experience highlighted by the great accommodations. This was more then we expected from the website photos and felt comfortable and great the entire time. We will recommend this to anyone who will listen!”
Janice and Rob, Canada

December 2005
“Thanks for sharing your beautiful little corner of paradise. This is so much better than the sterile condo alternative. It’s not a question of if we’ll be back, it’s matter of when! We really appreciate your attention to detail in providing everything we could possibly need. Hopefully we’ll be back sooner rather than later---“
Darla and John, British Columbia, Canada

October 20-November 5, 2005: Studio Cottage
“What a comfortable and pleasant house. We have enjoyed all of our days and nights here. It was nice to have the cooler, chairs, snorkel and all for us to use. We have stayed in Kihei many time but we’ve now found our “Maui Home”!
Mahalo!
David and Kathi Gardenville, NV

October 13-20, 2005: Studio

"After a hectic few weeks in Vancouver, it was great to come here to relax and decompress. We didn’t do too much this visit but we are already planning our next trip! Talk about all the conveniences of home-my kitchen isn’t this well stocked with tools and appliances! This is a wonderful clean and charming place to stay. For our own selfish reasons of course, we hope more people don’t find out about you and these beautiful oasis in the midst of condo crazy Kihei.
We hope to see you again soon, Toni and Steve and thanks again for everything.
Jan and Michael,
Vancouver, B.C. Canada

October 2-13, 2005: Studio
Better than we expected! Had everything we needed and then some. Very friendly and laid back and sincere were Steve and Tonia. Extremely reasonable rates. Snorkeling was the best and jumping off rocks at Changs pond on Hana Hwy. was very exciting. The banana bread in Haiku was amazing. Can’t wait to come back to Hawaii.

The little studio cottage was the perfect start to our spiritual re-calibration! From the warm welcome (complete with two cold beers)! To all of the details and thoughtful amenities, it was everything we hoped for and more! Thank you so very much for sharing your home with us for these wonderful few days in paradise. We also appreciate all of your personal suggestions and helpful hits for making our visit that much better. Can’t wait to visit again.
Best wishes and Mahalo!

From the warm welcome and splendid hospitality through to the beautiful and cozy studio it was a perfect spot to spend the end of our Hawaiian honeymoon. Thank you so much for sharing your corner of paradise and we will be looking to return sometime with our four children.
Mahalo!

Our stay in the studio cottage was delightful. The cottage is bright and airy with magnificent view of Haleakala in the morning. It offers all of the expected amenities and so much more that were unexpected. The Baneys are wonderful hosts and just nice people to get to know. The courtyard is peaceful and pretty. The extras that we used were the great gas grill, the bogie boards and the cooler.

Just to prove that I am not a member of the family, I will admit that the lack of a freezer in the kitchen was annoying since I could not keep ice cream on hand.

But without a doubt, I can heartily recommend the accommodations to anyone who favors serenity and wonderful on-site hosts.

-Ed Mathay

Homeowner Response:
We have found a fridge with a freezer which will fit iinto the space so that Ed can have his ice cream next time he and his wife return!
Aloha, the Baney's

Peaceful, charming, and quiet. The studio is
beautifully decorated and the amenities
exceeded our expectations. The courtyard
setting is tranquil and private. Tonia and
Steve are wonderful hosts. They really made
us feel at home. "Thank you. We absolutely
loved our stay". I would love to stay here
again upon returning to Maui.

Homeowner Response:

What a great couple, they were a joy to have on site. We look forward to seeing them again soon.!
The Baneys


05/16/2005 We had a wonderful stay here! The room was beautiful and well appointed. Everything looks much better in person! The owners were so helpful and accommodating! It's just too bad we were only able to stay for such a short period of time. We hope to come back and enjoy more of what Maui has to offer!

-Christina & John, California

03/20/2005 We absolutely loved our visit to Maui. We spent our first week at your lovely studio cottage. It was so comfortable and cozy with all the amenities of home. We loved having our morning coffee out on the Lanai as well as our afternoon margarita, after a day of diving or playing on the beach. The location is ideal for the boat ramp and all the wonderful beaches nearby.Kihei has many good restaurants or you can make your own on the grill provided on the courtyard. We definitely recommend a stay at the courtyard cottages next time you visit Maui. Jackie and Bob
