My husband and I LOVED this space! You know when you hit the AirBnB jackpot? That's what it felt like when we opened the door. Haiku was the perfect town to call home-base during our trip to Maui. Plus, the Ho'okipa Hideaway that Claire and Billy provided was a sanctuary in itself. It was its own secret tropical garden tucked behind a terrific privacy fence. It was so quiet and peaceful. They had a screened-in porch with two chaise lounge chairs with a luxurious view of our own private tropical garden backyard. The porch was spectacular for relaxation and reading in the morning and evening. For activities, they provided: guidebooks, a beach umbrella, his/her snorkel/flipper sets, and beach towels. In the kitchen, they had: fridge/freezer, ice tray, water purifier, spices, oils, cookware, microwave, coffee maker, and hot plate, etc. We were in heaven. Haiku is such a wonderful place. There's a town center with a laundry mat, grocery store, and several restaurants. But our favorite spot was just a block away, Baked on Maui, we walked there for breakfast and coffee most mornings. Claire and Billy provided WiFi which was really fast for how remote we were. Claire was super accessible and quick to reply via AirBnB message or normal text message during our stay. We explored all over the island during our trip, and Haiku was fairly convenient, but more importantly Haiku us away from a lot of the busy tourist areas. Paia is the closest main drag with shops, restaurants, bars, and a beach. We ate dinner in Paia many nights. We did the sunrise bike ride with Bike Maui at Haleakala National Park. We went snorkeling with Aqua Adventures to Molokini Crater and Turtle Arches. We drove to Hana using the Gypsy Guide App (download ahead of time, it’s worth the $) and stayed overnight in a tent in Hana, then went on to the Pipiwai trail and to Waimoku Falls. We tried fish tacos all over the Island, and our favorite was Lahaina Fish Co. We did the Waihe'e Ridge Trail hike in the rain and clouds which was beautiful. We hung out and body surfed at many beaches, but our favorite was Makena Beach or Po'olenalna Beach, through Makena Surf Resort. Our trip was out of a dream, it was so perfect. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you, Claire and Billy!
