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. (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 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. TO SEE MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS CLICK THE LINK BELOW THE CALENDAR LINK ON THIS PAGE.

Valerie’s cottage is very well kept and furnished. Rarely do we fun a good sharp knife and cutting board in a rental kitchen! Our hosts were attentive and very helpful. The views are outstanding.
I found the place even better than photos! Road noise was no issue. We really enjoyed the deck off the unit and its amazing views of the ocean. Valerie was a great host.
We loved our stay here! Perfect location I’m Maui to do so many of the things we wanted! Valarie & Craig live on the property too which we didn’t know but wasn’t a problem at all! They were so nice & let us eat all the oranges off their trees that we wanted :)
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay. The ocean in front of you. The beautiful beaches and so close to downtown Paia. Everything about this was excellent. The owner of the property was so helpful and nice. She and her husband are locals and are right on the property so that was also very helpful. A beautiful little getaway that was perfect.
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😁
Fantastic Stay. Amazing deck with view of the ocean
Loved having meals on the private deck. Excellent communication and great overall place to stay.

Perfect location for a perfect honeymoon!
We absolutely loved staying at Maui by the Sea. Everything about the property was perfect. Valerie and Craig were wonderful hosts. We loved getting to know them.
We had a wonderful time at Maui by the Sea. Great location to Paia, the road to Hana, and numerous beaches. Relaxing views and a great place to unwind. Valerie and Craig were exceptionally welcoming and supportive. You could not pick a better place in Maui.
Wonderful little cottage - perfect for us two. Location is great for cyclists and kiters like us . Stunning ocean views. Wonderful hosts. Everything you need in this well equipped place in paradise. 5 Stars all around.

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 for your vacation in Paia
Loved our stay! Especially the view of the ocean from the bed and deck, the full sized kitchen, BBQ and covered deck enabled us to prepare our own meals nightly. Hosts are very helpful, generous and kind. Excellent location for enjoying Mama's Fish House and Paia town. The only complaint our entire stay is we found the mattress too soft for our preference. The ocean view seating in the front the property is spectacular! We would return!
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.

Above our expectations
My wife and I spent 2 weeks in March 2011 at Maui by The Sea. It was a wonderful time. The house is really well decorated & perfectly equipped. Every detail has been looked after and we just found ourselves almost better than at home...It was really hard to leave, although we feel privileged to be living in a beautiful city like Barcelona (Spain).
The view is astonishing, the privacy complete, the location just perfect. Thanks for the great experience!

An amazing, relaxing and truly Hawaiian experience
Valerie and Craig are the ultimate hosts! This beautiful ocean view cottage was exactly what we were looking for when we decided to stay in Paia. Both were available and willing to offer advice or ask if we needed anything.
The cottage was well stocked with all the conveniences of home and the attention to little touches did not go unnoticed.
We did not want to leave! We will be back. Thank you for sharing your amazing home!
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!
Absolutely loved this location and can’t say enough good things about it. We had the best time here and the property had everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back in the future.
