Welcome to the North Shore of Maui, Hawaii!
Maui North Shore ocean-view

Maui by the Sea is a beautiful vacation rental - an ideal ocean-view cottage located on an oceanfront property between Paia and Ho’okipa, on Maui's scenic and exciting North Shore. Our two-story cottage has gorgeous views of a sapphire ocean with dancing waves. Simply sit back and relax on the private covered lanai and enjoy the view!

Tropical ambiance with all the comforts of home:

The 500 sq.feet Central Air Conditioned apartment is upstairs (downstairs is the open garage), surrounded by a lovely Hawaiian tropical garden with bamboos, palm trees, gingers, heliconias and fruit trees. The inside is cozy and elegant. A separate bedroom with a queen-sized bed, full bath, and full kitchen complement the layout.

The ocean is your front yard.
The property is ocean front, our home is on the ocean side and the cottage is on the road side. Of course our guests have access to the chairs and table located at the edge of the ocean. No beach access from the property as there are some big rocks sitting in front. But a beach is walking distance from here. Tavares Beach.
Walk out into the front yard (along the owners' house), and watch surfers enjoying the beautiful blue waves! Maui by the Sea's property is located right on the ocean, fronting a popular local surf break. The entertainment never stops!

Your cottage is 150 feet from the ocean. (Access to the water is possible but there is no beach in front of the property; it is a rocky shoreline). A sandy beach is 200 yards from the cottage with access for windsurfing, surfing and snorkeling; or if you wish, just sunbathing on the golden sand.

A short drive down the coast takes you to Baldwin Beach, the nicest beach on Maui's North Shore with long long stretches of white sand, crystal clear water, lifeguards, pavilions, and showers.

Way better than 5 stars*******
All we can say is “Wow”. The cottage is so cosy and has anything and everything you could possibly need for a fantastic vacation! The bedroom looked out onto the ocean and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked and clean. The living room had a plush comfy couch and large tv which was nice to cozy up on in the evenings after a long day in the sun. The kitchen had every piece of equipment you could ever need including a juicer with an endless supply of oranges on the trees outside. Bbqing and eating on the lanai overlooking the ocean was incredible. It was perhaps the most relaxing vacation my husband and I have ever had! If we could more than 5 stars we would. Oh and Valerie the owner was so nice and her communication couldn’t have been better. We had zero issues with check in, our stay or check out. Highly recommend…. Just don’t book the dates we want to come back😁

This property exceeds every expectation. My partner and I were utterly spoiled staying here. Valerie Craig made us feel at home with this amazing accommodation, which served as our private nirvana during our stay on Maui. The property's fruits were delicious, and the ocean view made us want to stay for the duration of our trip. We had many lovely BBQ meals on the balcony. We truly felt like we hit the jackpot by staying here.

Perfect cottage and delightful hosts!
Valerie and Craig (owners) have raised the “host” bar; they both truly embrace the meaning of “Aloha.” The property and cottage are very well maintained with all the comforts of home. Now, let’s talk view- Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! It was a relaxing week of fun, excellent food, conversation and at day’s end it was a joy to return to “Maui by the Sea.” Truly.

Cottage in Paia with a view
Valerie's cottage overlooks a beautiful topical oasis and full ocean view. The cottage was tastefully designed and just the right size for two. There were views from every window and a wonderful deck to enjoy our home made meals. The location was perfect to easily get to town, beaches, wonderful restaurants, and all that the North Shore has to offer. Although, it was hard to venture out as I could have stayed the whole vacation right there at the cottage. Valerie and Craig were also very helpful and a joy to know. We are already looking at our calendar to plan a return trip. Mahalo to our wonderful hosts!

Nirvana By The Sea
Maui By The Sea was a perfect island getaway. The cottage and property were both charming, the cottage was clean and a wonderful private space, the yard and gardens were quite peaceful, and having the chairs for guests right at the water's edge, was a wonderful touch. We looked forward to watching the sunset every night! Valerie and Craig were excellent hosts, very welcoming and helpful. They made our stay even more enjoyable. The property was convenient for everything we wanted to do: beautiful beaches, sightseeing, and shopping. We would highly recommend this property, especially for those wanting a private getaway from hotels and crowded condos.

Cozy cottage
We found the cottage just as described in fun Pai'a. It is well appointed (everything you need in the kitchen) and very comfortable. Valerie has thought of everything to make a stay there great. Watching the surfers and turtles from the chaise lounges is a highlight, and the beach is just a few houses away with plenty more turtles. Loved picking oranges off the tree just outside our door for fresh squeezed juice each morning.

Perfect spot in Maui.
The cottage in Paia overlooks the ocean and the mountains. A five minute walk to a lovely little beach with lots of turtles. A five minute drive to the funky little town of Paia. Big lanai for dinner or drinks. And the hosts, Valerie and Craig, were great. We had car problems and they were a great source of support. Thoroughly recommend this place. Perfect for a couple.

Great first stay, too short !
This was my husband and I’s first time to Maui, and we are so happy we stayed here. It is just a short ride from the Kahului airport, super convenient/close to Paia, Ho’okipa beach (lots of other beaches - mostly surfing vs swimming/snorkeling in time we were there- nearby too), and Mama’s fish house. It is closer than the more touristy Lahaina area to the Crater and the Road to Hana. Valerie and Craig were super nice, and Valerie was amazing in terms of helping us with tips on what to do on rainy days and how to look up the surf and weather radar etc (we were there during a very rainy week) to make sure we found the best place to be on the island for the day. We hope we can come back again and stay longer next time!

Great lit place
Maui By the Sea is a cute place to stay just outside of Paia. The location is really great and the view is outstanding. There were a few little things that needed some attention, and the noise from the main road that is right behind the house is quite loud... therefore I couldn't give it a 5 star. Valerie is a great host !
