Having lived in the North Shore of Maui and now returning with my little family, I wanted to have the easiest access and the best of both worlds. I wanted to be close to my upcountry family and also be able to hit a few touristy things as well, making The Gingerbread House a prime location.
Close to local beaches Tavares and Mamas beach, with easy access to the best grocery store, Mana foods, I was able to have easy access to the beach, to Paia, Makawao, and Haiku (my old hood) while also being a fairly short drive to Wailea and Kaanapali, but being close enough to Hana and Haleakala that they didn’t feel like daunting treks.
Clean laundry room for our house and the green turtle house, and all supplies needing for cooking up anything.
Awesome loft space that gets the best breeze coming through and 1st and 2nd story lanais to relax in.
The bathroom is super charming, with a jacuzzi tub. The cover for the tub was actually another shower head at tub level which made it really fun to watch my 1 year old take a mini grown up shower! 🥰
Lawn chairs and ice chest available and she will even rent you her car!
Meeting with Poni the host made it feel like I never left Maui! She was easy to communicate with, warm, and inviting, but also gave us our privacy.
Stellar experience!
Much aloha,
Kristin, Frank, and Juniper
