Our family had an amazing time at this beautiful jungle paradise just off the Hana highway. We usually stay on the south shore but decided to give the north shore a shot this time and we’re glad we did. It was about 10 degrees cooler than Kihei/Wailea and we fell in love with the log cabin and all the different fruit trees on the property. We lucked out as the lychees were ripe this time of year and were able to pick fresh ones’s right off the deck.
The closest beaches are Hookipa and Mama’s beach which are about 20 mins from the house. We spent a lot of time @ Mama’s since we were traveling with our 21 month old. It’s a sheltered beach which is perfect for babies and we saw turtles every time we went. We also spent a lot of time in Paia and Haiku especially for meals. There are also food trucks along the Hana highway.
Steve & Jette are amazing hosts and we had many great conversations with them about the property and also about how they met and ended up on Maui living the dream. They’re wonderful hosts and attended to all our needs. They provided a pack n play for our daughter to sleep in so we didn’t have to lug one around. They also had a high chair and baby gates. In the mornings, Jette would come by with fresh fruit every so often and they even mailed back a pair of sunglasses we left behind.
Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique jungle experience.
