Family-friendly vacation rentals in Haiku-Pauwela

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our first trip to Maui! The photos don’t do the unit or grounds justice. The sound of the ocean, tropical plants, gorgeous sunsets and whale watching from the condo/beach area… made it SO hard to leave. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a fabulous time in Maui and coming “home” everyday to Joe & De’s was just like coming home. Grateful for them sharing their little slice of paradise. It was welcoming and comfortable and we will stay again next time we visit the islands. Mahalo!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house/location. It had all the space and amenities to make it a comfortable stay for our party of 6. We loved waking up every morning and walking over to Kraken Coffee for a delicious cup of coffee and then later walking over to the food trucks at night for an amazing variety of food for dinner. Probably our absolute favorite thing was how conveniently close Foodland grocery store was. We would love to stay there again in the future! Mahalo!

We enjoyed our stay. It was very close to all the places we went. The place was comfortable, and we had all we needed. Loved the stocked kitchen and amenities.

We enjoyed our stay at Heather’s place. Good location. Walking distance to the shops and oceanfront walk. Appreciated the chairs and umbrellas provided for the beach. Had everything we needed for our stay.

Great studio with nice amenities and easy access to Kihei. Excellent value.

Katie is a great host! She was very responsive and the apartment was stocked with all the essentials. Great location! I definitely recommend!

Loved this adorable unit. It was perfect for my holiday. Highly recommend. Maui is beautiful! 💗

Great great great!! Location and communication were as good as it gets. Can’t wait to come back.

Great spot on the coast, one of the few with a beach and easy ocean access if you want to swim in the morning. Beautiful rainbows and whale watching each morning and the hot tub is nice if you have lower back problems. No a/c in the unit is the only curveball but tough to beat the location and natural beauty

We had a fantastic stay at Ken’s condo in Wailea! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants, coffee, and shopping. The highlight was the stunning ocean view from the lanai, where we enjoyed relaxing every day. The condo was well-equipped for our group of six (three couples), and we especially appreciated the beach gear, including chairs and umbrellas. It made our beach days so much easier! The only minor downside was that the beds weren’t the most comfortable, but overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommend it!

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Mark’s place! The location was great. It was easy to find in the evening after our flight landed. The home was spacious and very clean. It was super welcoming, including fresh flowers on the island! Mark was very responsive with a couple of questions we had. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beach chairs and cooler were great as we made our way around the island. 10 out of 10 recommend this stay!

Steve’s place is great and he is an excellent communicator and very invested in ensuring his guests have a great experience. We loved watching the sunset from the deck and the pool and game room were both so fun for our family. Lots of pantry staples on hand as well as some yummy snacks to greet us. The location is private and peaceful and we loved all the beautiful Hawaiian plants and geckos in the yard. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic place to stay on Maui. Staying in the Upcountry let's you hit all the major sights easily, while also having peace and quiet (and cooler weather!). The views from the house were sublime. Pamela was a wonderful host. she met us at the house despite getting there late in the dark. we were in frequent contact and she gave us all sorts of insider tips about routes to take and placed to stop. that part of the experience was invaluable! would definitely return!

the home was a great and John was very helpful throughout our stay. The instruments onsite were an added bonus as my kids were able to delicately use some of them (one currently in guitar lessons, another in piano) while I played along with my set of harmonicas. Has a heated outdoor shower which is always nice. Didn't need to bring our own beach towels and there was plenty of beach equipment available including chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. As to be expected of a jungle beach side home there are ants, termites, and critters, but none were ever a problem through our 4 night stay. No AC, but that was never a problem. Fans in all the rooms. View from the upper deck is amazing, and every morning we watched the sunrise before going out to the beaches and such. Food around town can close early so being mindful of that can be important if you want some of the best in Hana if not the whole island (braddah hutts and huli huli chicken for starters). overall, highly recommend staying here!

Emma’s place was perfect. We absolutely loved staying there. It was so easy to get to everything we wanted to see and do, it’s quiet and peaceful at her place and she makes your stay very easy and relaxing. She’s a very responsive host and sent so many great recommendations on local places! I’m so glad we stayed at Emma’s and would again!

We had such great time during our short stay. The listing was just as described, with all the beach amenities provided, towels, chairs umbrella, etc. The location was right off the beach, yet very quiet during the night. Highly recommend staying here.

Gal’s place was wonderful. We enjoyed staying there taking Maui’s beauty and especially kihei’s in and then even extending our stay. We’d always come back and will definitely recommend his place. The place is just as pictured. We were grateful for the beach equipment and also that there was a washing machine and dryer that we could use. He and the staff of the place took really good care of us. Don’t hestitate - it’s really the place to be.

Very spacious apartment on a beautiful and peaceful property with amenities. Walking distance to the beach and short drive to other beaches and surf shops. The unit had everything we needed like a full kitchen and beach towels, as well as the washer and dryer which came in really handy. Yuana was super responsive and accommodated our requests and questions!

We had an amazing trip and coming back everyday to this condo was so relaxing and felt like home. The condo was in an excellent area with everything you need just a short drive away. I would definitely book again!

The place and pictures is exactly as described. Such a beautiful place, very well equipped little home and fit our family of 4 perfect. I think one of the best amenities was all the stuff for the kids/adults in the closet for fun beach activities! The pool was a beautiful bonus as well. We love Kīhei and we would definitely stay here again! Wish we could have stayed longer! Mahalo for being great hosts and highly recommend your place to anyone! 🤙🏼🌺🌴

Exactly as pictured and described. Perfect location, with short walk to the beach, walking distance from shops and restaurants, and fully stocked. Beach closet had everything we needed and more: beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, pails and shovels for sand castles and even water shoes. Kitchen was nicely stocked with pots, dishes, cups, and lots of plastic containers for food storage. We had a great visit!

We were so happy with our stay. The location is great- right across the street from a nice beach area, close to fun restaurants and centrally located to everything we wanted to do in Maui. It was so nice having access to the beach chairs/umbrellas/beach toys and having everything we needed provided with the rental. Rebecca was great about giving us clear information and instructions, and responded quickly when we needed a response. We felt right at home and will definitely consider booking here again if we ever make it to Maui again!

This place was perfect for our families to enjoy our time together. Spacious and especially enjoyed the patio table for our meals outdoors. Bedrooms were also spacious and offered private quiet time. Kids loved the pool!! Our only regret was not staying longer.
