We had a great time in Haiku and in "the Nest". It's close to Kahului, where the Airport is, and also close to Pa'ia, a little Surf Town and a perfect starting point for your trip to Hana and every other Wanna- and Must-See on Maui. Haiku itself had a supermarket, foodtrucks, some nice restaurants, a laundromat, a close-by beach named Ho'okipa where you can see turtels and we just really enjoyed the area.
Kim was really nice, when we met her and her daughter shortly after we arrived. Check-in and out was super easy, and she also gave us some tips and recommendation. "The Nest" was lovely, and I personally really liked the style of it. We didn't mind, but you should know there's nature all around and with that might come some geckos or bugs, although there a screens on every window and the door. And their pets are lovely and won't bother you. Thank you, Kim, for having us.
