The cottage and grounds are a lush, tropical paradise. Everything is clean and well-maintained. I loved the pool and hot tub and spent hours lazing in the sun. Terrific hosts. We will return!

this our second visit to Auntie Kali's Cottage. we enjoyed 2 weeks of quiet, with a private pool and beautiful ocean views. great amenities, comfortable beds, outdoor shower, and close to golf, shopping and dining. we missed visiting with you Carrie, but Jean and Dan took care of us in every way. this rental is the gem of Maui. we hope to be back again very soon.

A perfect place for four. So nice with the pool/hot tub and tiki bar. There was really little reason to leave the property.

Move over Disneyland, we found THE most magical place on earth. We booked this cottage for our 30th Anniversary, looking for a private, relaxing getaway, and we were not disappointed! From the moment we stepped through the double doors to the PRIVATE pool/outdoor bar/outdoor barbecue and 2 separate outdoor showers, it was breathtakingly beautiful and by far exceeded our expectations! The cottage is beautiful, very clean (I didn’t see one bug in the house our entire stay) and very well stocked with everything you need to prepare your own meals. It definitely had the home away from home feel. The cottage may be in the back of the hosts home, however, they did a great job of separating the two so it is extremely private with your own entrance. We rarely saw the hosts (giving us our privacy) but they were available if we needed anything. Thank you Carrie and family for making our anniversary stay unforgettable. We couldn’t have found a more incredible place to stay!

This oasis was beautiful, but for the price.. it could have been better. The pool was dirty up until the pool guy got there halfway through our stay, this attracted more mosquitoes and bugs than it normally would. There were tiny beetles in the house itself, due to the live plants that are in the home. They have avoided cleaning out a kitchen cabinet that has old medicine and food in it. They keep alcohol in the outdoor bar that has been open and used. The pool shed is especially dirty with snorkel masks that have bugs all inside the breathing tubes. Although they don’t have bed bugs that I seen, they also didn’t have a bed bug cover to protect themselves from getting bed bugs. Although the place was private, it wasn’t really all that private as it was in their backyard. They no longer have a private chef that they are close to and can have come to you and as far as I could tell, a masseuse. You are however able to find one yourself and have them come to you. The people that own the property are really nice people, and greet you every time they see you. We did really like them, but nearly $1000 a night for 2 people? For that price alone, the place should be maintained a little better. You can find resorts cheaper than that with a lot better maintenance and better privacy. The place is private and gorgeous, with a decent view of Wailea and the ocean in the distance. We did enjoy our stay a lot, but if I could give advice, don’t go for a honeymoon.

This was our first visit to Hawaii, for my 50th and our son’s 16th birthdays, and it was exactly the special place we had in mind to celebrate those milestones. Carrie considered every detail - from welcome treats and delicious home-baked banana bread to beach gear to a fully-stocked kitchen to the gorgeous pool and gardens - we didn’t want or need for anything during our stay. It was very close to the resorts of Wailea, many beautiful beaches, shopping and restaurants. We were here during the devastating Maui wildfires and felt extremely fortunate to be staying in this peaceful oasis. We are praying for Maui’s recovery and hope to be lucky enough to return again. We would recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Maui.

Auntie Kali’s cottage was perfection from our arrival (and Grandma Jean’s delicious banana bread) until we sadly had to check out and return home. Carrie was communicative but never intruding. I said more than once we can only return to Maui if we stay in this oasis again! Truly an amazing stay!

This was our second stay at the cottage and of course it was phenomenal. The cottage was just as clean and beautiful as always. Carries attention to detail is what makes this property so special. Grandma Jean, Dan and Carrie. We love you for making us feel like Ohana.

Carrie, Dan & Chris were awesome, there if you need anything. The plant life had grown a little in four years but the landscaping and amenities were the same and perfect! It really is a paradise, so relaxing at the pool, the views of the water and sunset is breathtaking. We look forward to a repeat (again)!

Carrie is a great host! Auntie Kali's Cottage is a wonderful private area. Great place to grill and relax. This was our second time to stay and we look forward to returning again.

The cottage offers every imaginable outdoor amenity plus beautifully decorated, fully equipped accommodations. Loved having all the beach gear on hand. Attention to detail shows throughout the property. Location was perfect for beach access, groceries and restaurants. Our faves were the outdoor shower and incredible star gazing. Great communication and hospitality. Thanks Carrie. Can’t wait to return!

The cottage is simply amazing. It’s a pristine, private paradise packed with thoughtful amenities. Carrie & Chris take such great care of their guests and the property. I’ll be back in 2024!

Best stay on Maui. Would recommend to anyone going to Maui.

There are only 5 stars available, but this paradise deserves 11! This was our second visit and we have already booked our third. There aren't enough ideal synonyms to describe the beauty. Words and pictures just don't do it justice. It's absolutely wonderful!!

This is our second trip back to Maui and our second time staying here. We absolutely love this place and can't say enough good things about the property. The accommodations are comfortable, and the views are outstanding. We find this to be the perfect location with easy access to all areas of the Island with a short drive. We will definitely be back! Mark & Deann

We’ve been coming to Maui for years, but this was our best vacation ever. The cottage is clean and well-appointed. The grounds are so lush, so beautifully maintained, so private and secluded. We also loved the pool and hot tub. Carrie was so friendly and helpful. Perfect holiday

This is the very best Maui has to offer. The beauty and serenity cannot be matched. The host goes above and beyond to create the perfect paradise for our family to relax and build amazing memories. Thank you!!

Carrie has completely created an absolute oasis for her guests within the Paradise of Hawaii. Every amenity was thought of and provided. We celebrated our 50th anniversary and it WAS the PLACE to be!

This is our 3rd stay at Auntie Kali's and our previous 5-star experiences were exceeded! Great property and everything we needed for our week long stay. Our favorite place to be!

We loved our stay, the cottage is wonderful with a great outdoor space with pool, hot tub, bar, grill & fire pit! They thought of everything & Carrie is a great Host. Great place to stay in Maui!

Auntie Kali's Cottage is, indeed, magical. The landscaping is beyond lush. You will enjoy the birds serenading you in the morning. We only used the outdoor shower even though there are two inside. Carrie has decorated and stocked the cottage so well. It is indeed a tropical paradise. She , truly, has thought of everything. Don't book too many excursions as you will want to be here, in the pool, most of the time. See other recent reviews that describe all that Carrie provides. Can't wait to come back for our third visit. Mahalo, Carrie for a wonderful, relaxing getaway with our daughters.

This place was beyond our expectations, so beautiful and peaceful. We had everything we needed and the hosts made us feel so welcome and continued to check on us to make all was good. Loved our stay and we will be coming back for sure. Thanks so much!

I am ambivalent about my talking about this “Hawaiian cottage“. Ambivalent because I want to tote it’s many excellent features which include privacy, pool, country feel, comfortable bed, excellent outside shower, first class chase lounges and furniture as well as the tiki bar. On the other hand I do not want a lot of people to know about it because it decreases its availability for my own use in the future. Carrie, The manager, could not have been more welcoming even though she was out of town. She make sure her brother was here to welcome us and walk us through the property. Her mother Jean, 96, baked us a wonderful loaf of mango bread. We want to come back.

This is our second stay at this amazing cottage. The cottage itself is so cute and stocked with everything you need and the outside is beautifully landscaped with a sparkling pool and spa. Great location, close to beaches, shopping, dining and airport. The hosts are great too! Really special people that really want you to experience your vacation.

I honestly don't think it gets better than Auntie Kali's cottage in Maui. We have stayed a lot of places over the years and both my husband and I agreed this was one of the best places we've ever stayed. We will definitely be back for a return stay in the future. The outdoor space really make the experience - from the lush landscaping, pool, fire pit, outdoor bar to the grill & hot tub, we joked that we used every inch of the place. Carrie, Chris, Dan and Grandma Jean are also some of the most thoughtful & kind hosts you will ever come across. In particular, Grandma Jean's homemade mango bread blew us away. We bought banana bread on the Road to Hana and agreed her mango bread was much better. Also worth noting that we brought our 2 year old with us and the walk in shallow area of the pool area was so perfect for him. We also really appreciated that the cottage had a toddler sized life jacket and sand and beach toys in addition to beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels and a small cooler that made trips to the beach (when you can pull yourself away from the amazing pool) a breeze. Carrie, Chris, Dan & Grandma Jean - THANK YOU! We can't wait to return. Grandma Jean - our two year old loved you :)

Carrie and her team were totally awesome. The property is lovely. Honestly, I don't think you could ask for more!

Overall the property was awesome and Carrie was great to work with!

We had an amazing 2 weeks at Auntie Kali’s cottage. The location is perfect for traveling around Maui, and the house and grounds are spectacular - like your own private resort! The house is well-appointed, and Carrie has thought of everything you might need while you’re visiting. Highly, highly recommended!

Carrie and her family were the best hosts. We could not have asked for anything more. Our flight was delayed so we didn’t get to the cottage until after dark and Carrie had the yard lit up for us—the photos do not do it justice! My husband and I were in awe of the property. It is amazing. I couldn’t get over all the beautiful tropical plants. The view of the surrounding islands is gorgeous. The pool and hot tub are fantastic and on our “exploring” days, coming back afterward to relax in them and enjoy the property was the perfect end to the day. Even on the days we just hung out at the cottage, it was excellent - we felt like we were in paradise. I’d get up at sunrise just to watch and listen to nature come alive around me. If you enjoy bird watching, you will have entertainment all day long at the cottage. While I was in the (wonderful) outdoor shower, a red crested cardinal hopped right over and then flew to the tree branch in front of the shower. Amazing! We even saw zebra dove babies. The cottage was clean and beyond fully stocked, we had all we needed and then some. Grandma Jean’s banana bread and the apple bananas fresh from the yard were the icing on the cake. Thank you for giving us the best honeymoon ever! I cried before we left bc I was so sad to leave the property. It was heavenly and we hope to return!

...or IT SHOULD BE! If you see this property for rent, book it! We were so fortunate enough to have found dates to book that worked with our schedule. When we arrived we were greeted by Carrie and Grandma Jean with homemade banana bread and fruit waiting for us. Talk about above and beyond hospitality. The property was seriously something out of a magazine. Our own oasis, which our daughter loved every bit of. Carrie truly thought of everything. I can honalestly say we've never stayed in a more pristine location in all of our travels. This by far takes the cake. We will, with upmost certainty, be back. The Johnsons Thanks Carrie and Jean. You two are gems 🥰

Wonderful trip and visit to Wailea. Carrie and Grandma Jean were so welcoming to our family. We had a great time will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful and relaxing time while staying at the cottage. We were impressed with the luscious landscape and how perfect the cottage is setup. We found it like a home away from home as it was fully stocked. We wanted to go to the beach but it was so nice we stayed in the private pool and enjoyed the Sun and sounds of tropical birds. The pictures really do not capture the beauty and serenity this tropical oasis provides. If you see the dates available BOOK IT NOW! We are already looking to return next spring. Carry is an amazing host and can not thank her enough to opening her home for others to enjoy.
