I can’t say enough about this house and this location!! We came here as a group of six celebrating a birthday, and many of us had already done the resort experience in Hawaii on multiple occasions. If you are looking for a resort experience, this is not it, however I would say it’s much better!
We were right on the ocean, could walk out our door and look over a cliff to the rocks below and see turtles, watch windsurfers, etc. you can hear the ocean at all times in every room of the house and the sound is amazing. The beach was a few hundred yard walk down the main road to access it, and there are many great beaches in the area. The house is on the outskirts of Paia and they have wonderful shops and great restaurants.
This is also a great location from which to explore the road to Hana, the upcountry including Haleakala, and the many wonderful upcountry towns with great galleries and shops and restaurants. We went to a lavender farm, a winery, and a distillery for tours and had a great time! I felt like I had a very unique experience and got a lot of local flavor by staying in this area.
The hosts were responsive and friendly!! The house easily and comfortably accommodates 6-8 people and I would come back to this location in a heartbeat… Loved it!!
