Amy and Joel’s Surf Cottage is such a special place to stay! It has a cute surf/beach theme and the surfboard fence makes for such fun photo opportunities. The cottage’s proximity to the Pauwela Cannery makes for fun breakfast and shopping opportunities- we grabbed coffee and treats from Baked on Maui every morning! When we first arrived at the cottage we were worried that it was going to be too remote, but found that it’s actually an awesome location- close to the Road to Hana, the town of Paia, Ho‘okipa Beach, and Mama’s Fish House. The only thing that we struggled with is that the birds and roosters are quite vocal in the morning, but luckily Amy & Joel provide earplugs. Staying here gave us a taste of the “real” Maui and what it would be like to live like a local. We loved every minute of it!
