This house is in an excellent location, 5 minute walk from the shops and restaurants of Paia and a 10 minute walk from the beach with good swimming. Paia is a great town, manages to be touristy and local at the same time, with tasty restaurants and shave ice, (also, the croissants at the Mana food market are really really excellent). It's also a great location for the island as well, pretty much all sides of the island were accessible with in a 30 minute drive. Our extended family of 6 was comfortable in the three bedrooms (2 out of 3 are air conditioned, the 3rd was bearable with ceiling fans). Despite an extraordinary heat wave in Maui while we were there, we stayed pretty comfortable. The kitchen was cozy but well appointed and we enjoyed the backyard/grill area of the house. Hosts responded promptly to our questions etc and overall I'd highly recommend this place!
