I was unprepared for how beautiful the view from the deck and house were. You could hear and see the ocean below the large grassy meadow, and see the top of Haleakala the other directions. Located in a quiet neighborhood with the ability to walk to Paia and the beach (pretty hot and up hill on the way back, so we mostly did the walk early or late with our little ones), it was ideal for us. A great amount of kitchen amenities, fans in the rooms and a nice sized living/cooking area made for a wonderful stay. I would recommend this house for families with kids or anyone not into the hotel scene of other parts of the island.
