This cottage was so spacious and a wonderfully situated!
We had a terrific stay, and would gladly come back.
It was a relief to make it "Home" so quickly after landing at OGG, and the directions to get there were very easy. We appreciated being able to walk downtown to so many delicious spots. Especially Paia Bay Coffee! And I'm a softie for being near a USPS, which this spot is :) If you do want to cook, you'll have everything you need, and all the ingredients you could want from Mana foods, a 5 min walk up the street.
Be sure to check out the little cafe/yoga studio about a 5 min walk south on Baldwin. Great food, fresh coconuts, and friendly cats :)
We also loved the chance to be so close to a splendid restaurant called Nylos that does a pre-fixe menu with optional wine pairing (great to be able to walk home after all the wine).
The king size bed was very comfortable, and it was terrific to be able to hang up clothes in the walk in closet. We had plenty of space for two.
There are some useful toiletries stocked in the linen closet, and plenty of towels. It was also so great to have access to a washer and dryer.
The landscaping is beautiful and the fencing helped us feel like we had plenty of privacy from the other cottage on site, as well a a good windbreak.
Parking was easy, even for a mid size SUV, and the gravel drive never got muddy in the rain.
Getting to launch from Paia every day was really nice. Being so centrally located, we were able to start the road to Hana at 830am, and Leave for sunrise at Haleakala at 5am.
There are a few lovely beaches within walking distance, and it was nice to have supplies like beach towels and boogey boards on hand. We didn't use the cooler, but there is one.
Jacque is very easy to communicate with and responsive.
I happily recommend this cottage for your stay on Maui, and hope to visit again soon.
