Dave and Natalie’s place was perfect! Great communication from begging to end, very clean and well taken care of and the perfect location to explore upcountry and the road to Hana.
My family of 5 came to Maui for 11 days. We spent the first 5 nights in Kahana on the beach, which was great but also very touristy. For the next 3 nights we stayed here and absolutely loved it. Was so nice to have a more local vibe and to have a closer home base for exploring the east side of Maui.
The towns of Paia and Makawao are very close and have great food and shops. Highly recommend T Kamodas bakery for donut sticks! And Dave gave us a great recommendation for dinner at Colleen’s the first night. Really delicious fish sandwich and pizza!
We returned to the beach area to finish our vacation and our family all agreed that staying in the upcountry was our favorite spot.
I definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a chill more local vibe and for easy access to the east side of Maui. Mahalo!
