Eve was extremely welcoming and close by if we needed anything, but cottage was secluded enough that we had lots of privacy. We were surrounded by amazing fruit trees and helped ourselves to freshly picked tangerines, guavas, passion fruit and logan berries - so delicious! The pictures very accurate...the cottage was pristinely clean and comfortable and had everything we needed to feel at home. The locations was ideal, a few minutes to a cute town and close to the national park. The ONE thing that was lacking was the WiFi connection. I failed to read that there was none in the cabin. There was however access at a nearby gazebo, although the connection was not great. I would definitely recommend the Ginger Bread House. Thanks for a great stay Eve!

Perfect stay- romantic, beautiful, peaceful. The cabin is stocked with all the necessities+ and we felt that Eve was available for questions, but also that we were left to enjoy a private honeymoon. we are definitely coming back. Mahalo, Eve!

This is an amazing retreat in the jungle. It is a great stepping off point to Haleakala, paia, road to Hana. Eve was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Maui. Make sure to take the time to experience the gardens and labyrinths.

The cottage was beautiful and clean, well appointed and open-feeling with lots of windows looking into the tropical yard and all the amenities one needs. (Microwave,coffee maker,hair dryer,fridge,rice cooker, blender, juicer, ample lighting options, and guest robes.) The trees and landscape and lush meadow provide amazing photo opps. The property includes The Sacred Garden, a serene greenhouse, shop, and walking labyrinths with a calming Zen essence, wonderful staff and smart African Grey parrot. We definitely plan a return visit in hopes that the stream will be running! Eve is a gracious hostess who responded immediately to every request.

We enjoyed our time at the gingerbread house and in Maui. Steve connected with us and was helpful with additional information that we needed. Bodhi greeted us within minutes. The location was perfect for us to branch out and explore the island. We also enjoyed our visit to the sacred garden

Our time at Eve's Gingerbread House was great. Even though we didn't meet her personally, Eve has been very responsive and very helpful. Check-in and check-out went absolutely smooth. You need to be aware that this is a special place...right in the middle of nature with humidity, animal noises etc coming with it, but we loved it very much. It is a clean, beautiful and very very cozy place to spend your time in central Maui with Road to Hana, Haleakala and North Shore surfing close by. Mahalo, Eve!

Eve's enchanted jungle cottage was amazing! It was just what we needed! The seasonal creek behind the house was flowing, the tangerines were juicy and ripe, and the succulent garden was spectacular! Eve has really created a special place with her creativity and green thumb! The labyrinths arranged on the property were fantastic for clearing the mind so we even bought a book Eve wrote about labyrinths. Thanks for the beautiful accommodations! Bodhi the dog is super chilled out and cool to have around too. Very private but not overly isolated. Perfect place!

We had a wonderful stay at the gingerbread house. Eve and Steve were wonderful and attentive hosts. They had great tips on what to do and where to go, and we spent the week eating lilikois from their garden. The cottage is just enough for two, comfortable with a killing shower. The cooler was a very nice touch and we carried it everyday with us. It is the ideal location if you want to explore Upcountry Maui and still be very private. That is if you can do with the upside of a forest getaway: bugs. Unfortunately for us I had a bad reaction to mosquito bites, but that's on us.

Perfect setting

Marla was extremely welcoming. Loved the animals. The neighborhood is great... It was awesome being away from other tourists. Everything you could possibly need is provided. I hope to return

I had a great time in Maui but wished I could have met the host. During my stay my boyfriend and I had to get up early to go hiking and we were greeted rather quickly by Moana's mom, who didn't know we were staying there, nor did she know our names and scolded us for talking loud early in the morning when we weren't. I wasn't aware that she was living on the property (nor did I know in advance they had other neighbors on the property or that were so close) so with that encounter I felt unwelcomed on the property despite having paid for my stay. There was no call to see if everything was OK unlike our experiences had been on other islands with hosts. Also, the windows have shade but since its directly across from Moana's or her mom's property you can actually see through the windows. I did not like that at all and it gave me and my boyfriend a creepy feeling. The yard was very nice, lots of fruit trees. The outside shower was a nice touch too. You only have TV connection to watch movies through the DVD player and maybe that should be made more clear on the amenities list despite there being a DirectTV box.

We stayed at Hale Moana for 7 days and what an unbelievable little place it is! I have nothing, but kind words about both Marla and Moana. They were wonderful hosts and offered both an amazingly tranquil and peaceful bungalow while also providing us with respect and kindness by letting us maintain a place of our own on their beautiful farm land. We even arrived late, as we were coming from New Hampshire, and Marla provided explicit directions, phone numbers, and a bunch of other information to us to make sure we would arrive safely. With these directions getting the Hale Moana from OGG, even at 9PM, was a simple 30 minute commute. The title “Small but Special” really holds true for this place. As you drive towards the little cottage the private road is lined with beautiful trees, plants, and if you look closely you can see two tall beautiful rainbow eucalyptus trees waving hello! As you turn to approach Hale Moana you see the beautiful farm land followed by two tall palm trees and a lovely hammock and of course, the green cottage with the little red porch you’ve been dreaming of. Inside there is tons of little extras: bath towels, French press, coffee cups, coffee grinder, etc. to make it feel like home. Marla even put out some delicious fresh fruit from her garden for us and flowers from her greenhouse! Not to mention, boy is this place kept clean. The bed is comfy and you are greeted with the sunshine on your feet and birds chirping each morning. I never had a problem waking up and sleeping here, which is not always the case for new places. As for the location, Hiaku could not have been more perfect for us. We did not want to stay in a touristy area like Makena or Lahaina where all you can see are shops lining the streets or golf courses. Instead what you have in Hiaku is farm land, ocean views, cliffs, rocks, and crashing waves. It is 12 minutes from Paia where there are cute earthy shops to check out, shaved ice, Flatbread Pizza and in the other direction is the Hana Highway so if you decided to venture down getting back from won’t be such an exhausting trip. It was also perfect for our 3:00A sunrise bike ride down Haleakala Summit which was just 10 minutes away as we went with Haleakala Bike Company located in Hiaku. It was also perfect to see the sunset at night at Ho'okipa beach park where you can see the silhouettes of the surfers riding the crashing waves as the sun goes down. So, what was the best part? Marla and Moana were wonderful, the bed was comfy, the location, was great, but our favorite part was… meeting Wheela! Wheela is their little white dog who will come to your car and porch each day to say good morning. She brings so much warmth and love to this little farm house...

This guesthouse was absolutely incredible! My only regret was that we didn't get to stay there longer. All the little details of this place really made it perfect. We loved the outdoor shower and the three super cute and friendly dogs that greeted us when we got home for the evening. They brought us some limes and oranges from the trees in the yard and invited us to pick as many as we wanted. This is my favorite side of the island and I think it gives a better feel of what Hawaii is really like and is 100 times better than any resort in my opinion. The hosts are very kind and helpful. I will definitely be staying here again when I return!

This place is perfect. If you are lucky enough to stay here you will never forget it! Thank you for everything. We will be back :-)

Me and my husband had a great time at Hale Moana! The cottage is nice and cozy and we felt more than welcome. The place has everything you need and the outdoor shower tops it all! We would definitively come back.

Hale Moana was a home away from home. The owners were very helpful and caring as we arrived late and during a tropical storm, they made sure we could contact them and left the light on for us. The hale was clean and cozy, perfect for two. The outdoor shower was wonderful as well. Every morning we were greeted by Uila, one of the family dogs, who was just the sweetest dog. We also ate a fresh star fruit each morning off of the trees right outside our door. Even though we weren't able to use them, there was snorkel equipment, beach chairs and towels, a boogie board and cooler for us to use. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an off the beaten path but not too far from town hale.

Jays place is exactly like the pictures and the view is amazing! It was great being away from the main tourist spots but close enough to drive to restaurants. We would recommend this place to our friends

We had a fabulous stay at Jay's place. We arrived early but the cleaner was lovey and let us drop our bags off. She also gave us all the local tips which was so helpful. My husband and I loved the ocean front views, just incredible! The sunrises/sunsets and balcony area were awesome. We loved falling asleep every night to the sound of the waves. The bed was comfy and the wifi fast. Location was perfect! Thank you so much Jay!!!

Wonderful with amazing view. Everything was organized and clean. It was exactly as decribed and truly a great first Airb&b experience!!

Awesome view. There was a family of sea turtles outside the room at 3 pm. You can hop in and snorkel with them.

Spot-on description. Really clean, really helpful guy as he responded to all emails! Saw the turtles passing everyday !

Jay's place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Waking up every day to an oceanfront view is spectacular :) He provides all the essentials to make yourself at home, we stayed in one night (after a fun day of snorkeling!) and it was relaxing! We went to Costco and stocked up and food/wine and it was perfect. We enjoyed gazing at the ocean and seeing a family of sea turtles hanging out every morning, that was the best! My husband and I really liked the location, it's close to stores, beaches, etc. We did rent a car because we wanted to explore as much as possible while we were there. Overall, I would recommend this place. Jay is also very responsive which we appreciated a lot.

Host (Jay) was very responsive, lots of email followup, keen to make sure we had a good time. Property was exactly as billed. Cozy, right on the water, beaches short walk either way. Everything you need to hang out in Maui. Area was great, recommend both Maui Brewing and Sushi place nearby. Leave the door open at night for great surf sounds. Thanks!

We stayed for a week in Jay's apartment and loved every minute. It was very clean, comfortable and we spent a lot of our time on the balcony watching sea turtles, whales and dolphins. It was very peaceful and a short drive to Whalers Village where there are lots of restaurants and shops. Jay was very responsive right from the start and gave recommendations which were very helpful. We'd stay here again if we returned. The apartment came with everything we needed to cook and also beach equipment (snorkels, cool bag, towels) which was great!

The studio was immaculately clean and up to date. Great bed, tv and kitchen. Bathroom was clean and shower water pressure great. Lanai area was nice with two chairs and afternoon sun. AC and fans were quiet. Dominique checked in shortly after I arrived and one more time providing information on local events. Great stay. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming and personal host. Great location - close to a great beach to watch the sunset. Also, a short drive to cool snorkeling spots and great cuisine! Extremely clean and spacious studio.

Great place, great location, very helpful host!

The Aloha Studio was exactly as described and just steps away from a quiet and beautiful beach. Dominique was very accessible if we had any questions and check-in was smooth and easy. Kihei was a great place to stay for a more local feel with lots of restaurants, shops, and beaches, without being overly touristy. Dominique's place is very close to the bus and we enjoyed beach hopping using the Maui bus, thus saving us money on car rentals and time in traffic. The studio was comfortable, clean, well outfitted, and had a cozy private terrace. Dominique had lots of beach chairs, towels, snorkeling gear etc. available for the use of his guests, making it super easy to just go and enjoy the beach.

Dominique is really a GREAT host. He made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Dominique us easy to communicate with and houserules are clear and easy to follow. Got great recommendations for hikes and much more. We stayed 4 nights in Aloha studio , very spacious and well equipped kitchenette, comfy bed, very CLEAN and the small lanai surronded with palmtrees is a very cosy space to sit and have your meals at. Great location minutes from beach. Nice neighbourhod which close to everything to other beaches in Kihei and Wailea. We highly recommend staying with Dominique.

Dominique was a great host and really made me feel welcomed. The accommodations were neat and clean. I really enjoyed waking up early in the morning, walking across the street and being able to see the beach and very few people. I also liked walking around in the morning and seeing the neighborhood and locals interacting. I used the place as a personal retreat--the porch with the lush foliage was a nice touch.

Our stay at the Aloha studio was a very good experience! The space was clean and bigger than the photos make it look. Location couldn't be better, right in between north and south Kihei, on a small street right across from the beach! The shower has awesome water pressure too. Our hosts were attentive and even re-filled the propane for the grill the same day I notified them that it was out. My only negative comments are minor. The bed pillows were fairly poor, flat and one too firm, but we made do. The neighborhood rooster(s) crowed during the night at random hours (every night of our stay) which made it difficult to get a good sleep. If you're not a heavy/deep sleeper, I'd highly recommend bringing ear plugs. Kitchen sink was super tiny, so we ended up washing some dishes in bathroom sink. But, we were overall really happy with everything and would come back to stay again.

Great central location for a Maui visit. Kihei has everything. Studio was comfortable clean, well stocked, and exactly what we needed.

My wife and I just visited Maui for our 28th anniversary. We truly enjoyed our stay of 5 nights at Eric's place. Eric was a wonderful host! He gave us wonderful advise where to visit in Maui. Thanks to his information, we visited some truly stunningly beautiful places in Maui that we would not have known to visit! The bedroom was clean, the bedding was comfortable, and we had the living room and kitchen to use. The unit is located in a quiet and nice condo conmunity, and is conveniently located, within short walking distance to restaurants, shops, supermarket - check out the Times, a grocery + supermarket where we found everything we need. The Times open from 5am-1am. Eric provided us a key to access a fence door that is a few steps away from Eric's place and leads to the parking lot of the Times, that made it so convenient for us shop at Times. There is a laundry room in Eric's building to use too! Secret Beach Eric recommended us to visit was the most beautiful beach we visited in Maui! We would not have known its existence if Eric had not told us! Eric also told us about tourism traps to avoid. We already miss Maui, and we would want to stay at Eric's place again next time when we visit Maui. In short, we would give it 5-star rating!

Awesome host! Very helpful and nice. The place is also very close to the beach and very nice!

Eric is a fantastic Host. He is kind, prompt and very respectful of your space and needs. Has years of experience as a airbnb host and knows his stuff. Rental car, Scuba, activities, any question he's got an answer for and is more than willing to help out. I believe this location to be great for single individuals (man or woman) and of course couples. I'm typically very sensitive to good / bad vibes from people and in no way did I ever get a bad impression. With the house only being a one bedroom I shouldn't need to mention its not big enough for couples with kids. As far as space while your here Eric is very good at sensing what you the guest wants and he even encouraged me to treat the house as if it was my own. Allowing me to stock the fridge and use his counter space for my stay. His house has everything he mentioned in his ad and now he even has an A/C unit in the bedroom for those of you who like it a bit colder at night. Eric included ice chests, lawn chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, fishing poles and snorkel gear for my use at any time free of charge which was very nice of him to do. In addition he is also a certified scuba instructor and knows all the local dive sites and owns ample gear to take you out to all the coolest spots. Eric also deals in car rentals for a VERY competitive price and I took him up on his offer for my stay, he included a complimentary pickup / drop off to the airport instead of me having to take a cab / uber all the way to his house. His house is quite spacious and very comfortable and located in a perfect spot. Just across the street is a beach perfect for watching the sunset. Just behind the condo is Times Market (like a Safeway/Carrs or Fredmyers) perfect for stocking up on food. There are 3 bars all withen walking distance if your a drinker, and countless food options withen walking distance and even more just over a mile down the road. All the popular beaches are within a 15-45 min drive depending on which side of the island you want to sunbath. Kehei is very conveniently located even though it looks out of the way on the map and on a daily basis my adventures took me to other towns the drive was always a pleasure. Overall I give Eric and his house a 10/10. Great host, great location and if I'm back in the area I would definitely book with him again.

Eric's place was a great base camp for me and my boyfriend during our stay in Maui. The room was comfortable, the private bathroom was great, and for what it's worth, I loved the decor. Eric also had a closet with coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, and snorkel gear for us to use, which was incredibly useful - particularly the coolers during the Road to Hana drive! My one complaint is that Eric was very negative when hearing about our plans - he told us not to do several things that ended up being really fun, so I'd take his advice with a grain of salt if you have done your research. Other than that, he seemed like a nice guy, and his cat was also really friendly.

Nice place for the price. Good location. Eric was helpful, he took me out snorkeling and that was wonderful! Thanks Eric.

Eric's place was comfortable, quiet and very conveniently located. It had all the necessary amenities to make our trip comfortable. I loved that it was steps away from the beach and all the major shopping centers and restaurants. The neighborhood itself is very quiet and family friendly. Eric was a super friendly, helpful and courteous host who tried his best to make our stay comfortable and fun. He is very knowledgeable about Maui and knows all the cool beaches, hikes and eateries. He was also kind enough to let us use his beach chairs, snorkeling gear and boogie boards for free! I would definitely come back here again and I highly recommend it to anyone else!

Eric provides amazing advice around Maui and also lots of great ideas that helps you navigate around your stay in Maui. Would definitely come back again.

Great location, close to the airport. It is an amazing place to stay, in a not touristy place and you will be escaping from city living - which was perfect for us! You will sleep in a big and very comfy bed. You can make breakfast and eat take away food in the rum. The hosts are very welcoming and helpfull if you need anything. Highly recommend staying here!

We had an amazing time in Maui at this listing! Thank you Shannon and Michelle!

Shannon and Michelle, have a great landing spot for Maui adventures

we are so happy of have stayed in his home. Is beautiful, spacious and near the market. Shanon and his family are very lovely and always help us in things that we need (towels, beach chair, etc)The room was very clean and has a freezer which is amazing.

This was exactly what we were looking for. It's a cozy little unit with a comfortable bed and decent shower. Having the lawn chairs to use was a bonus. We used them to watch the sunset at Mt Haleakala.

Shannon's place it's very nice, clean and affordable. Perfect location ... The bed it's super comfortable and I had everything I needed it. Over all it's great place to stay with a very nice host! Mahalo

beautiful apartment, ideally located in Maui the hosts are super nice. there against by not cooking facilities.

The location was perfect, few minutes drive to the center of town with shops and food, five minute walk to the beach, about 15 min from the airport, Iao Valley and hiking trails! Michelle and her family were excellent hosts and very response with questions and coordinating. The space itself is perfect for two people, it's clean, beautifully decorated and the king sized bed is the most comfortable bed i've ever slept on! Unfortunatly I only spent two nights here as I had to fly back to the mainland but I would highly recommend this space, it's clean, cozy, in a perfect location and Michelle and her family were great hosts, I wish we had more time together!

What an amazing experience! This was the best way to see the whole island! Sebastian was a good host with many suggestions for campgrounds. We will be doing the jeep/tent again!

We had a amazing experience driving around the island. Is the best way to get to know everything in short time. The car is in excellent conditions and well equipped, the tent is a great place to sleep watching the stars! The only thing is that in order to road trip around the island there's lot of teaser here to be done about the camping sites and its services. Fast answers from Seba and they were always willing to help.

An excellent option if you truly want to explore Maui while you're there! Seb was extremely nice when we met up with him and offered great advice on where to head and setup camp. Make sure to load the cooler up they provide with goodies so you don't go hungry!

The perfect way to drive along Maui! We visited some of the main national parks and camped there. It was AWESOME ❤️

The Jeep was well equipped! Everything was neat and very clean. Unfortunately, on the tent a screw / nut gefehlt- you could still build with no problems. but would be nice if the already known problem would be resolved. For that Sebastian was super flexible and has even given us the car to the very suitable for us spot! Apart from that, the Jeep with the tent has us super brought a lot of fun on the campsites, however, one should previously informieren- often need to a "Permit", which must be booked online in advance.

beautiful place great people and dog reggie will definetly be back had a wonderful time

This is a sweet little gem of a place! Great accommodations and they have stocked it well. Susie and Randy were so thoughtful and warm. We got a great tour of the property and were pleasantly surprised at the beauty and care taken in the development of their land. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing home and property! Every tiny detail was attended to. Highly recommended!!!

Beautiful location, wonderful hosts. They were accommodating by adding a cot to the little cottage to make it sleep 4 adults. Very quiet and peaceful with ocean view one direction and mountain view the other.

After a day long venture down the road to Hana, it was a great space to stay. The grounds are gorgeous! There were 3 of us and we didn't feel cramped, and found everything we needed for our stay. We'll be sending friends and family your way as they travel to Maui. Thank you!

Perfect getaway! And proof that tiny homes can have big personalities. Well stocked with everything you could need in a peaceful spot in beautiful Hana.

Great place to stay in Hana, you get all you need for your trip in Hana, it's near of everywhere!!!

We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was lovely. Bring extra bug repellent! shower is either too hot or too cold. But otherwise it was a beautiful location, room, and hostess!

The inside of this condo is absolutely stunning! Very luxurious and relaxing. Thomas was very accommodating and had the condo extremely clean and leaves many condiments and spices, which is really nice when traveling. He was also very thoughtful by leaving a bottle of champagne for me new husband and I. I would highly recommend Thomas as a host and this beautiful condo!

Thomas did a great job making us feel welcome. The condo was very clean and stocked well with towels, beach gear, kitchen utensils, and other essentials. The parking was easy, and there were shops and restaurants within walking distance. It was everything Thomas said it would be. We had a great time and would recommend it for any couple. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and the view(URL HIDDEN)

Very nicely remodeled condo. Great location. Ideal for couple. Every necessity and then some provided in condo. Excellent value.

Thomas made our Maui experience everything we hoped for. His condo is perfectly located near the beach, snorkeling spots, restaurants, surf rentals, markets, shops, and more. We were able to easily tour the whole island. His condo is large and very clean. He had some boogie boards, beach chairs, cooler, and snorkel gear available for us. Even local Maui chocolate's were waiting for us upon our arrival day. We booked rather early on but Thomas was always available immediately when we emailed, answered our questions, and even provided us a list of local to-do's so we could navigate quickly. He made our stay very enjoyable. You won't be let down here! Thank you so much!

I really can't say enough good things about this apartment and this host. Everything was exactly as pictured, and Thomas clearly went above and beyond in making our stay comfortable. The apartment felt bigger than it seemed in the pictures, also. Getting into the apartment was really convenient, and the parking lot always had plenty of spaces for our car. Very conveniently located within walking distance many shops and restaurants, and we could easily walk to one of the best beaches in Maui! We also found it very centrally located for getting around in Maui. We loved it and would definitely stay again if we're ever fortunate enough to return to Maui! Thanks Thomas!

This apartment was simply amazing. Words and pictures do not do it justice; I felt like I was at a 5 star resort hotel. The apartment was immaculate and had EVERYTHING you would need for a comfortable stay, either in the apartment or at the beach. The place is much bigger than the pictures make you think too. The pool and view is amazing. The apartment is only a few short blocks to the main shopping area. I was extremely sad when I had to leave this place. I wished I could live their forever, ha! Thomas was also beyond helpful and very quick to respond to any questions I had. Smooth transaction. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Kihea. Thank you Thomas for everything!!!

The condo was in a great location, and Thomas' list of places to go and things to do was so helpful. The condo itself was beautiful, and exactly as described. The neighborhood was quiet but still centrally located--it was a great home base for my stay on Maui!

The host was great, everything was set for us and easy. The apartment is just like it looks and it looks right out on the ocean. Great place to see kihei beaches and easy enough to get to everything on maui.

Great place! Perfect spot if you are staying in or passing through the area

This is my first time using airbnb. The experience for my stay at this house is really good. It is very close to the ocean so we walked to a little beach and watched sunrise in the morning. This place is also very convenient because we found a grocery store 2 miles away and bought some food to make dinner. Hosts are very nice too. They provided us very detailed instructions via phone, when we have difficulties finding the address and the lock box. Recommended.

We wanted to stay a night in Hana so we could savor the place. This was a wonderful place to do that from. Thanks.

We so enjoyed my time at the Heavenly Hamoa cottage in Hana. Everything was clean and orderly when we arrived. We arrived close to dark and after one pass turned around and found the place. There were some ants and geckos in the house but in a tropical island this is to be expected. There was no full bath with tub but a shower that had great hot water. The beach towels and mats were a wonderful addition to be able to use. The bed was very soft and rolled us both toward the middle. We loved the porch and the rocking chair which went well with our great weather. There was some road construction going on during our stay which increased traffic in front of the cottage but not to the point of being too disturbing. I can see it being even more peaceful when that is completed. We loved exploring the area and found all the beaches to be fantastic. We highly recommend the Red Sand Beach on Kaihalulu Bay. A hidden gem! We visited the Haleakala National Park twice to do the hike to Kipahulu Falls which takes you through an incredible bamboo forest. We ate at Koki Sistahz down the street (loved it!), the Hana Ranch Restaurant (okay but overpriced) and Jen's Thai food (pretty good but a little confusing to find ... it's 25 minutes from the cottage back down the Hana Hwy). We also drove out the other direction than when we came in to Hana (continuing down Hana Hwy) which took us through the upcountry and finally back to the airport. It was only 20 minutes (or less) longer and gorgeous (though it has been a very wet winter so things were more green). Also passed by Charles Lindbergh's grave which we had no idea he was buried there. When he was diagnosed as terminal, he said he would rather spend 10 days in his beloved Hana than 3 months in a hospital. We agree.

We loved this rental! It was in a beautiful location and was a great place for us to rest after driving the road to Hana. The cottage is near other buildings, but feels very private with lush foliage all around. The living room was cozy, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was spotless and pretty. We also appreciated the fans and air conditioning. Lisa even had dvd's for us to watch. I just wish we had more time to stay and sit out on the lanai listening to the ocean or cooking in the well-appointed kitchen. Lisa gave us clear instructions for how to find the cottage and we were easily able to call and get the lock box code before we made the drive over. Highly recommend.

This place was a great find! It is a perfect one bedroom cottage for a couple to stay in after doing the road to Hana. It is right near the beach, so we actually woke up early to go watch the sun rise. There is also a collection of movies to watch, which is a good addition, as things close pretty early in the area. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Hana/Hamoa.

This is a great cozy and small house that is walking distance to Koki beach. We walked to the beach in morning as the sun was rising and it was just breathtaking! There is a musty smell that bothersome how-ever but if this was fixed, this is a fantastic place that is as described, with a great location just outside of Hana, perfect for a couple or young family!

Really pleasant stay, in a great location just outside Hana, between two lovely beaches. Very cozy, private, and clean. We had a very comfortable stay- the only thing that would have made things even nicer is internet.

John has a very nice place in Haiku, Maui. It's located right next to the road to Hana so it can either be the start point or end of your drive. The neighborhood is residential so there's plenty of street parking on the property. The house is also filled with very nice and welcoming people. They'll give you snacks, toiletries, and towels. The room itself is very clean with wifi and plenty of power outlets. There is a bathroom which we shared with another couple but it too was very clean. Overall, would definitely stay here again.

John was really welcoming. He took time to show us around the banana farm. He even brought us some fresh fruits in the morning and some snacks for our hiking day. The room was nice, clean and fresh at night. I would definitely recommend staying a night at John's place if you want to do the road to Hana.

Great place. If you are doing Road to Hana this is the most convenient place to stay. Haleakala is about 1.5 hours from front door to top, much better than coming from other parts of the island. John was very flexible in helping a few of my friends that needed only 1 night at the last minute. Banana chips were great! There are a few bugs in the bathroom but it's Hawaii and that is to be expected.

Good location with all the needs in the kitchen. John was a great guest the welcome included bottle of water and shampoo. The room was exactly as expected

Very welcoming and helpful! We would come back any time.

John was superb at responding to my requests. He was very accommodating. The property is 3 minutes off Hana Hwy and the area is green, lush and cool temps...

Great place! John was very accommodating and has such a beautiful piece of land!

We had an amazing stay at John's. People were amazing and the place was really clean. It had all we need and even more to cook. It is also really well located to explore the Island. We really enjoyed and we'll recommand to any lucky who's going to visit Mauï :)

Staying at Reid's reminded me of my college days. Toga, toga! But not in the party way, just the room rental way. His roommates were super nice and friendly and the location was great. I liked that it was in a neighborhood just off the main road, central to everywhere I needed and it felt safe. Thanks Reid!

I would definitely stay at Reid's place again. Great bed and pillows. I didn't watch TV, but that's a plus for me usually. I'm happy I got to meet Reid because he's a very busy guy. Thank you Reid! I love Maui and want to come back.

Reid was a great guy! Very relaxed and easy to talk with. He was a busy man so we didn't see him much. But he was kind enough to provide fresh shampoo and soap for us and waited up late to check us in!! The room looked just like picture, and he provided a bunch of books and ideas for things to do! His place was easy to get to and located next to a gas station. Would stay here again definitely worth what you pay for!

Perfect for 1-2 nights!

Reid communicated very well. Experience was just as described in description Reid place was perfect for what we needed.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Reid was a nice host. He was super laid back. We stayed one night at his place because it was close to the airport.

Thanks for a great stay.

Robert was a wonderful host. He provided detailed directions to the condo, as well as accessing the apartment. The condo has a pool, but is just minutes from the marina, and a beautiful beach. The condo is well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, and everything else to make your stay comfortable. There is a huge TV, along with satellite service. There is no air conditioning in the condo, but fans helped to move the air around and make the nights comfortable. The Condo is located within driving distance to Lahaina, Kahului and Kehei. The Maui Ocean Center is practically steps from the condo (which is a great place to visit many times).

Access to the property was well explained by Robert and we had no problems getting inside the unit. Robert was kind enough to allow us early access as our flight over from Mainland was earlier than we thought. The view from the Condo was lovely and each morning we enjoyed our coffee on the balcony overlooking the ocean. The condo was neat and tidy although a little tired and Robert had supplied plenty of food if required. We also found it was a little far to the restaurants, nothing within walking distance therefore one would require a car. The pool area was well maintained and there are Webber BBQ's if you wish to use them.

We had a great time at Roberts condo. He sent all of the required information exactly when he said he would and the instructions were simply to follow. Robert checked in with us during the stay to make sure everything was going OK. We found the condo just as it was described / pictured. It was a good size, the kitchen had everything you could want as well as being centrally located to anywhere. We would stay here again if we ever return to Maui.

Beyond impressed- this condo was the perfect choice! The view and location were exactly what my husband and I were hoping for. The complex was peaceful and everyone we ran into was very friendly. Robert was an amazing host, easy to reach although we hardly had to- everything was easily accessible and clearly outlined in the provided instructions. He was even willing to accommodate a late check out the day of our flight which was super convenient! The condo is within a 5 min walk to great restaurants, shopping, the Maui Ocean Center and Maalea Harbor (the departure point for my dive tour). We were able to observe sea turtles right from the lanai/balcony, and the gear that Robert had on hand saved us a ton of time and money on rentals. I would definitely recommend to my family/friends, and hope to stay again in the future!

This condo was amazing!!! Coxy, clean and had EVERYTHING we possibly needed! Also an ocean front view!!!! We will definitely be back!!! Thanks Robert!!!!

My husband and I chose Robert's place to stay for three nights, as we wrapped up our amazing ten day annual holiday to Maui. Our overall experience here was a great one! Before our arrival Robert sent very detailed instructions including where to park, how to enter security codes, and access keys. He also opened himself up to freely contact him with any questions or help we may need, at any time. There's also a local contact in case of emergency. This all was extremely helpful info to have, especially considering the condo we rented for the first part of our trip ended up flooding from a roof leak, and the large condo complex, with onsite staff, was not prepared to handle it. When we entered Robert's home, we were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, clean, great decor. Robert's home is well stocked with everything we needed (and more!) for a fun Maui trip. Full kitchen, lots of cookware and dishes, including spices, condiments, etc. Nicely decorated cozy front room with a great entertainment center. Bedroom has a king size bed, lots of extra linens. Places to hang your clothing and empty nightstands to store your essentials. Bathroom is well equipped - with extras such as curling irons, hair dryers. Even though we didn't use them .. te best parts were that there were plenty of supplies for beach time! From beach towels, ice chests, plastic dishes to a big supply of snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrellas and sand & water toys. We also loved the views from the lanai! The view was the selling point for me and it paid off nicely. Although we were at the beginning of whale season, it was still so fun to be able to see them right from the lanai! Also - the harbor for some of the whale/snorkeling tours is literally right next door. We went on two different Pride of Maui tours and had a fantastic, different experience each time! I hope this review is helpful. :)

The condo was tastefully decorated and thoughtfully appointed. It included everything we needed to have fun: snorkel gear, sunscreen, big beach towels, beach chairs. All the decor, furniture and bedding was top of the line and very comfortable. The lanai was great for relaxing with a view of the ocean & boats. Robert, the host, was gracious and easy to contact. The location is super-convenient for many of Maui's best snorkeling and sunning beaches. Maalaea itself is a fairly small community of several big condo buildings, a couple of shopping centers and a harbor. You can walk all the way to Kihei on the beautiful white sand beach. We would definitely stay here again.

From the time of booking to check out, Robert was very responsive and communicated with us what we needed every step of the way. Unit is very clean and description of this unit is accurate. We have stayed in this complex before, we like it for it's location and amenities. It feels more like a residence than a touristy hotel.

Beautiful home! We got in late and left early, but the bedroom and bathroom were well decorated, super nicely remodeled, very clean and had all of the amenities we could need. Pretty dark getting to the house so drive slowly down the road. Slight miscommunication upon arrival (finding the front door) but that was likely due to our own fatigue! Great experience overall - would highly recommend.

Gary and Marianne are great hosts. They were very accommodative, friendly and gave us good advice regarding places to see and things to do. Their house is in a non-touristy (local) area, which we liked. The room is comfortable and the bathroom is excellent. The bathroom is shared with guests in the other room, but we never had to wait to use it. Parking is available outside the house. If you're there on Saturday, we would recommend a visit to the Farmers market. Ask them for directions. Also, they had provided warm coats for a trip to Haleakala park. This was a nice touch! We loved our stay here and would recommend it.

We had a Greet stay with Marianne and Gary. a lovely couple with a great house in a quiet neighborhood a short distance from Makawao a lovely toen with a fine Italian and Mexicaan restaurant. The breakfast with fresh fruit was delicious. If you are looking for a Nice place in this neighborhood this is it! Henk and Anita

The hosts were friendly and responsive. The room and house were cute and as pictured. The house is close to Makawao, and about a 15 minute drive from Paia. It was a great base for our Haleakala adventure. Marianne helpfully suggested we check out the local farmers market on Saturday before we drove up, which was a great tip. The bed was slightly soft for our taste, but overall a great place to stay for exploring upcountry Maui!

Our hosts were marvelous..we really hit it off. Welcoming, informative and hospitable. We loved the location of the property, on a quiet country road and close to everything we wanted to see/do. The historical home has beautifully been renovated, and the bathroom was a treat! We would absolutely come back!

I love this room. It was very cute and clean. Especially I like the bed! It was super comfortable!! The host was very kind also. I really recommend this room.

What a brilliant stay we had!! Such a perfect location for exploring the Upcountry region, and an idea spot to base yourself for 'The Road to Hana' and 'Haleakala'. Bed perfect, bedroom light-filled with a gentle breeze, amazing shower, and those little touches were so much appreciated - fresh local fruit for breakfast, and two mugs and tea bags laid out just when you needed them. Gorgeous house and lovely comfortable couches in the lounge room. Like staying with close friends - Gary and Marianne we loved your company. Thanks so much for having Tim and I. All the best :)

We had a wonderful time staying with Gary and Marianne. They are a great couple with a beautiful and peaceful home. They have us great suggestions for places to visit during our time on the island. By staying with them you get the sense that they enjoy being hosts. The room is beautiful and cool even during the summer months. The bathroom was beautiful and clean.

My wife and I stayed here for 5 days. Not ideal for a family because of space but good for adventurous couples. We enjoyed it because it was near Front Street for dinner and a night out. Uber was $11 for one way. Would for sure stay here again. Curtis was a great host. Gave us the 101 of the island and suggestions on what to do or where to go. Blue moon Café is nearby for breakfast and coffee. Cant wait to go back!

We had a very pleasant stay at Curtis' place. The location is slightly removed from the beach, and is about 10-15 minute walk away. We feel that we got our money's worth. Thank you Curtis!

This was a nice room in a great central part of Maui. The lanai has a really beautiful view and Curtis shared his beer and snacks with us. Everything was great! The best part may have been his very sweet dogs:-) Would definitely stay again next time we're in Maui.

My girlfriend and I spent a few nights at Curtis's place and enjoyed it very much. We got to know him as a friendly and authentic person with good hints about local things to do. The room was as described, and the rooftop makes for nice sundowners.

Curtis was wonderfully communicative and welcoming! While we didn't get to overlap much, he's definitely a guy you could grab a beer with. His dogs were the sweetest, well behaved and total cuddle buddies - honestly the doggies made it for us. Plus, there was the bonus of our host supplying us with delicious craft brews!

The room was fantastic and the location great as well. Curtis was one of the nicest hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting. His two dogs were so gentle and friendly, and the mango tree and rooftop were such a nice treat. Overall, a great place to stay

Curtis' place was awesome and perfect for our visit to Maui! He gave great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Also got to hang out with his two sweet pups! I would definitely stay here again!

Cherie went above and beyond to make our stay as wonderful as possible. She literally helped us out by rushing over to the condo the day we arrived to get it ready despite the fact that we had yet to book with her; we booked the day we were arriving in Hawaii. Her place was clean and had ALL the amenities with easy access to the beach, which was a private beach of sorts-very nice! She provided us with everything from beach towels to sunscreen to a cooler, and anything that didn't go as planned was quickly fixed and kindly done so. She also had great recommendations for the area!

We lived and loved a fantastic stay in your lovely house Cherie!! Thanks again and see you soon Alberto & Judit

This was a great condo. It was well appointed in all respects and very clean. The tile and sink in the bathroom gave it tons of character and the place was very comfortable. Cherie provided coffee, some awesome pancake mix and a load of brochures and information. The beach chairs were a special favorite and there were plenty of towels and essentials like shampoo, conditioner, suntan lotion, etc. The condo complex is located right around the corner (walking distance) from a great Maui restaurant (Mama's Fish House) and it is outside the bustle of Paia town but close enough to enjoy the restaurants and beaches in Paia. We really loved the place and would definitely stay there again. Thanks Cherie!

Cherie's place was nice and clean. She supplied beach towels and toiletries and left us some delicious macadamia nut pancake mix. The beach was just a few steps away and it was easy to get here from the airport. Would recommend to anyone coming into Maui :)

We loved our stay at Cherie's condo. It was the perfect home away from home. The place was clean, spacious, bright, and comfortable. Cherie was an incredibly welcoming host and provided everything we needed while we were there, plus some bonus amenities like snorkel gear and beach towels - thank you Cherie! The bed was super comfortable, the cooking supplies were good, and the little balcony was great for coffee and breakfast in the mornings. We loved the location of the condo too - the town of Paia was one of our favorite spots on the island. Less touristy, cool vibe, good beaches, with great restaurants and an amazing grocery store nearby (Mana Foods - we love that place!). All within a 5-min drive from the condo. We also loved the Kuau Cafe just a couple minute walk down the road from the condo. We definitely recommend Cherie's place to other travelers, we had a great stay!

The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen well equipped with everything that we needed to prepare meals. Piai is a super cute town and very centrally located on the island if you want to explore the whole island. Cherie was very quick to respond to questions. She was very thoughtful about all the amenities that guests might need such as beach chairs, snorkle gear, sun screen, q-tips, etc...

Cherie's place was great! It had absolutely everything we needed for our stay and was in the perfect location in Paia.

The condo was as descrided, and check in/out was a breeze. Cherie was very quick to respond to all of our questions, and made some great recommendations. She really made us feel welcome. The condo is stocked with everything you would need for a day trip to the beach or exploring. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for our honeymoon. The coral beach was one of our favorite spots. Private little pools on calm days, with shady trees to escape the rays. We highly recommend the Sat 9am Surfing Goat Dairy tour! So much yummy goats cheese! We are officially in love with this little island and can't wait to come back! Erik & Emi
