Live Like a Golden Retriever on a Beach Vacation

Ready to live like a golden retriever on a beach vacation—forever? Then ditch the lawnmower and grab your snorkel and swim fins. This is nap-in-the-sun, salt-on-your-face, turtle-for-a-neighbor kind of living.

Welcome to Maui’s best-kept secret: an artistic Polynesian pole house with over 100 feet of dramatic ocean frontage, perched at the tip of Papaua Point like it’s claiming its spot in heaven’s cul-de-sac. Inside a gated enclave of just 10 homes with an annual HOA fee so low it feels like a typo ($500), this is lazy luxury with a side of coconut-scented breeze.

Designed in 1981 by Frank Stiller for the legendary Maui restauranteur Rob Thibaut (yes, the Duke’s and Kimo’s guy), the home is crafted with Hawaiian Koa wood and lava rock—basically what Poseidon would build if he moonlighted as an architect.

The ocean? It’s not just nearby. It’s your backyard pool—minus the chlorine. Depending on the season, you can whale-watch without ever changing out of your jammies, snorkel with turtles, or body-surf with dolphins.  The 270-degree views stretch from Lanai to Molokai to Kapalua, which means every sunset is front-row with your favorite beverage, and every sunrise compliments your mug of coffee.

The primary and guest bedrooms both wake you up with surf serenades. There’s a game room for your competitive side, a sauna and jacuzzi for your tequila and wine sessions, and an upstairs whale-watching/yoga room/study—perfect for doing literally nothing while feeling like you’re doing something.

Just a dog-paddle away from golf courses, spas, restaurants, and Honolua Bay, this home isn’t just a property—it’s the ultimate lifestyle. And that lifestyle is: roll over, bask in the sun, and let the waves do the talking.

Life’s too short for weeding. Come live where the lawn mows itself (hint: it’s the tide).
