Tiki Tiki – Gorgeous Boho Beach Hideaway!

Tiki Tiki – Gorgeous Boho Beach Hideaway! Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Tiki Tiki – Gorgeous Boho Beach Hideaway! honestly feels like stumbling into someone’s perfectly curated Pinterest board — except it’s real and you actually get to stay here. The whole vibe hits you immediately with this effortless boho-chic aesthetic that somehow manages to feel both Instagram-worthy and genuinely comfortable. You know what I mean? It’s that rare place where the style doesn’t sacrifice substance.

Location & Getting Around

This four-star gem sits right in Wailea, and I have to say, the location game is seriously strong here. The fact that couples are rating it 9.5 for romantic getaways makes total sense once you’re actually here — there’s something about being tucked away on Wailea Ike Place that feels both secluded and accessible. The free private parking might sound like a small thing, but honestly, in Hawaii where parking can be a nightmare, it’s actually huge.

Beach Access & Surroundings

What really got me was how close you are to some of Maui’s most stunning beaches without dealing with the chaos of the main resort strips. Wailea Beach is basically your backyard, and the walking paths that connect all the beaches here are something locals will tell you about if you ask. The morning walks along the coastal trail — well, let’s just say your Instagram followers are going to get tired of your sunrise shots pretty quickly.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup is where this place really shines, and I mean that in the most practical way possible. You’re not just getting a hotel room — you’re getting an actual living space that feels like a home base for your Maui adventures. The kitchen is fully equipped, which honestly saved me a fortune on dining out (though let’s be real, you’ll still want to hit up some local spots).

Design & Comfort

The boho aesthetic isn’t just surface-level Instagram bait — it’s thoughtfully done with natural textures, plants that actually look healthy, and furniture that’s both beautiful and comfortable to actually use. The bedroom setup feels like a retreat within a retreat, if that makes sense. Everything from the linens to the lighting just works together in this cohesive way that feels effortless but clearly isn’t.

Practical Perks

That 9.8 rating isn’t just for show — the little details here actually matter. The Wi-Fi works reliably (crucial for those of us who can’t completely disconnect), and the air conditioning is quiet enough that you won’t feel like you’re sleeping next to a jet engine. The laundry setup means you can pack lighter, which is always a win when you’re island hopping.

Local Insider Knowledge

Here’s something you won’t find in most hotel descriptions — the property manager actually knows the area and gives genuinely useful recommendations. Not just the obvious tourist spots, but the kind of local intel that makes a difference. Like which food trucks to hit up, or the best times to visit certain beaches to avoid crowds.

The Wailea Advantage

Being in Wailea means you’re in one of Maui’s most upscale areas without the stuffiness that sometimes comes with that territory. The nearby resorts have excellent restaurants and spas that you can access even as a non-guest, but you get to retreat to your own private space instead of dealing with hotel crowds. It’s honestly the best of both worlds — resort amenities when you want them, peaceful hideaway when you don’t.

Why It Works

Look, Maui has no shortage of places to stay, but most fall into either the massive resort category or the basic condo rental category. This place sits in that sweet spot where you get the style and thoughtfulness of a boutique property with the space and freedom of having your own place. The fact that it consistently gets those high ratings from couples tells you something — it’s romantic without trying too hard, comfortable without being boring.

If you’re looking for somewhere that feels special but not pretentious, where you can make your own coffee in the morning but still feel like you’re on vacation, this is honestly one of the better options I’ve found on the island. Just don’t expect to want to leave once you’re settled in.

Reviews of Tiki Tiki – Gorgeous Boho Beach Hideaway!

• Nawel from France (10/10)

  Tiki Tiki flat was perfect at all levels, CLEAN and COSY in a perfect location on Maui. Mark and Kate have been full of our attention and very reactive. It’s by far the best housing option to feel home in the island as opposed to highly expensive resorts in the area.
  Mahalo you Kate and Mark 🙏

• Maisie from United States (10/10)

  The property was beautifully designed with gorgeous interiors and everything you could need on a beach holiday! The pool was right across the street with a heated hot tub

• Stevie from United States (10/10)

  My husband and I came from the mainland with a large group to visit friends who live in Wailea/Kihei. Most of our party stayed at the nearby resorts and we wanted to be near them, but we also wanted to have a quiet and private space away from all the group's get-togethers. After researching, we decided on the Tiki Tiki. We were not disappointed!
  
  The property is lovely — clean, comfortable, spacious for a studio, well maintained, modern and nicely appointed. The kitchenette has a dishwasher with detergent, a microwave, a coffee maker with pods or whatever those things are called, and a fridge large enough to hold a few days’ worth of fresh food and drinks (note that there’s no freezer). There are dishes, glasses, mugs, cutlery, and paper towels. The bathroom has a rain shower and a separate tub. Toiletries are provided. The king bed and linens are super comfortable! There is a small private patio attached. There is shopping nearby, including upscale retailers and a delightful food/convenience market (Island Gourmet). These are within a 10-minute-or-so walk from the property, but anyone with mobility issues will want to rent a car or rely on taxi/Uber/Lyft/friends to get around — the roads are hilly and many do not have sidewalks.
  
  Hosts Kate and Mark were a pleasure to do business with! Everything from booking to check-out was a breeze. They contacted us after the first night to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and to ask if we needed anything (it was, and we didn’t 🤗 ). It is clear that they really care about their guests’ experiences and that they run a reputable, first-class operation.
  
  TL;DR: Great stay, exceeded our expectations. We’ll be back! Thanks, Kate & Mark!

  The property has everything one could possibly need on vacation. This includes even beach chairs, ukulele, thermo bag, iPhone and watch wireless chargers and weighted blanket. Another great point is that the apartment is aesthetically pleasant in terms of decoration and furniture. It is enjoyable to spend time there. Also, it has a balcony which is perfect for relaxed quiet breakfasts.

  We had an outstanding stay at Tiki Tiki! The condo was stunningly beautiful, impeccably clean & the bed was THE MOST comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in!

• Shalan from United States (10/10)

  The property was great! It was located near a lot of eating places and places to shop which was lovely. The area in general was just nice and quiet. The hosts were great and they were there if I needed anything. The home was equipped with everything we could have needed for our amazing stay in Maui. When we arrived we had snacks waiting for us which also was a plus. It was the little things that put an extra touch to it. The room is just like you see in the pictures, very cozy and elegant. I will definitely stay here again when back in Maui. Please stay here, you won’t regret it!!! 🙂

• Katie from United States (10/10)

  Great location and wonderful hosts. They went the extra mile in welcoming us and providing welcome snacks/beverages. It was super cozy and we loved coffee on the patio in the morning. The hosts were very responsive and helpful!
