Absolutely a dream location. This was our first trip to Maui and my wife and I were literally astonished at the beauty of upcountry Maui and this particular area. It is like a dream come true...continual lush landscapes, beautiful country roads, and easy access to fantastic coffee (Wailuku Coffee Company), great breakfast to start your day (Baked On Maui), Bike Maui (for a Haleakala sunrise/downhill bike trip), and great food (Hali’imale General Store) and the town of Paia. The start to The Road to Hana is nearby and so are many, many beaches of the North Shore. The entire area of the island is just lush perfection. The house itself is perfect for a family of 4 or two couples. Or even just a twosome! My wife and I had the house to ourselves and it was fantastic. It is clean, modern, stylish, and has literally everything you could need. Every single room has an amazing view and there is natural light present every hour from sunrise to sunset. The decks are gorgeous and Though we didn’t use anything, there is a litany of beach gear/chairs/cooler etc to make any day at the beach well prepared. There is an outdoor hose to clean off any sand/dirt from hiking. The property is very secure and has a gate at the top of the driveway. The lane the house is located on is gorgeous. There is a tv with a Roku in the living room and a large enough couch to relax in the afternoon after an early morning activity. I can’t recommend staying here enough. If this location is available — book it. Get to know this part of Maui and avoid the resorts. It doesn’t get any better than this Airbnb to experience Maui.
