So this is a wonderful place!!!
An apartment next to Mama's beach and Mama's restaurant.
At Mama's beach, you can bring any size kid, toddler or walking baby and have a wonderful time. It is a reef pool, where turtles swim up all the time, and you can even swim with them as they come on. The restaurant is often fully booked at peak season, so book ahead if you're planning to come. And buy plenty of supplies from supermarket on the way to the apartment. The backyard is great, and parking right outside the door.
And Paia was a wonderful beach town, much much better than we ever expected. Highly recommend.
