Rina's place was perfect for our stay in Paia and my revisit to the Maui north shore after a 34 year absence.
The ground floor suite is spacious, comfortable and clean with a fully equipped kitchen, lots of towels and a great collection of beach gear including boogie boards and snorkelling kits.
The suite is nicely situated just a short walk up the hill from Paia town centre. Strolling into town for groceries, dining, banking or shopping is a breeze.
For wind sport enthusiasts Paia is ideally situated. Drive down to Kite Beach or Kanaha for windsurfing in about 15 min. (I like driving the airport back road shortcut). Sprecks and Hookipa are less than 10 minutes away.
Popular destinations and activities such as the Twin Falls, the Bamboo Forest, the old town of Makawao, bike tours down Haleakala and more are all close and convenient from Paia.
You are bound to get a few more clouds and possible showers on the Paia windward side of the island vs the leeward dry coast of Kihei but the escape from the traffic and hustle and bustle of the larger resort areas was exactly what we were looking for our holiday. Thanks Rina and hope to come stay again sometime!
