The Gingerbread house is a private retreat, ideally situated on the edge of Paia. It's just past Kaulahao Beach (a great beach that you can share with dozens of sea turtles) and a few minutes from downtown Paia. The house itself is a perfect stay for a couple and we very much enjoyed making it our home for our stay on Maui. All the beach essentials (towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, etc.) are available at the house and the host is terrific. Poni went out of her way to accommodate us during our visit and we'll be back!
