Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an oceanfront and an ocean-view vacation rental in Maui?

Oceanfront means the property sits directly on the water with no road or building in between, so you can usually walk straight onto the sand. Ocean view means you can see the ocean, often from a lanai or upper floor, but there may be a road, other buildings, or some distance between you and the water. Oceanfront typically costs more per night for the same bedroom count, while ocean-view rentals are often a better-value way to still wake up to the water.

What makes a Maui vacation rental "luxury"?

At KBM, it means full resort-style amenities such as pools and on-site dining, professional management and housekeeping, and a direct-booking experience with hotel-level service without per-room hotel pricing. Every property on this list includes KBM's concierge service, and KBM includes a free rental car on Hawaii stays of 6 or more nights.
