Paia is great. If you’re looking to be away from all the big resorts and hotels this is the place for you. Perfect for families - kitchen/outdoor shower/grill/washer&dryer.
Paia Inn fully equipped with boogie boards, sand toys and snorkel stuff too.
Whole Foods and Target adjacent to airport.
The little market in Paia is awesome, too.
The walk up and down to the beach is a bit precarious for little ones - and can be slippery. BUT! Sea turtles came up to nap on the beach every day.
