We stayed at Poni and Sabrina's place over the 2018 New Year Holiday. The cottage was perfect for us (4 - my wife and I and our teenage children) and the location is pretty darn good. We fell in love with Kalahua Beach, what a gem - never crowded, beautiful, sea turtles every afternoon and 5 minutes walk from the cottage. The Highway there is a little busy for walking, but the short walks were not a problem and plenty of people are doing it, so motorists are aware. Less than 5 minutes drive to Paia town area and really close to the airport (25 min at most), but still quiet and peaceful. Great location for taking trips to other parts of the island. Our hosts were terrific. We'll be back to Paia.
