Perfect size place for a couple, with only a few drawbacks. Haiku is a great place to stay on the island - the weather is always great and is pretty centrally located. The house had everything we needed and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable! Ally and her daughter greeted us upon arrival to introduce us to the place and offer a few suggestions. The nearby restaurant Nuka turned out to be a dud for us (even after giving it a second chance) but we did visit the local bakery Baked on Maui for coffee or breakfast almost daily! Also very convenient to have the Haiku Market so close by for groceries and supplies. The only thing that surprised me was that the cottage was on the same lot as/located directly behind another one of Ally's rental properties. We essentially had to walk through the other house's back yard and outdoor dining area to get to our front door, which affected the privacy of both parties. Since there is no AC, we always had the windows open, which means we could hear everything happening outside and next door. The windows are within the line of sight of each other so we also felt like we always needed to have the curtains drawn for some privacy. It didn't bother us too much, but it's something to consider. Oh and, the roosters next door are no joke in the morning! Our first morning we woke up at 4am due to jet lag and they were already up and crowing loudly. Other mornings they started later or were further away from the house. We ended up running the box fan at night to provide some white noise. Oh, last tip, the shower was only stocked with body wash and shampoo, so you'll want to pack or plan to buy your own conditioner if you don't want your hair to suffer! All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would still recommend this location to others visiting Maui.
