The Gingerbread House was a perfect fit for our stay in Paia on Maui. The little house was outfitted with everything to make our stay comfortable. Even though there was no real place to relax outside, the large deck off the bedroom upstairs was amazing, just like being in a treehouse, a perfect place for breakfast or to relax after a day in the water. The house is a short walk to two beaches, the one closest to Paia is suitable for swimming & snorkling if the sea is calm. We required two sleeping areas and the futon downstairs is not that comfortable, but the bed upstairs is very comfortable. Poni's son lives very close to the Gingerbread House so you have people around. He was very helpful with all our questions. Poni was very attentive with our requests and accommodated our needs. The Gingerbread House gives you a real feel of the Paia lifestyle far, far away from the resort crowd.
