We stayed at Ally's place for our honeymoon and we're both so happy we did. It was close to the things we wanted to do (Road to Hana and Haleakala), and it wasn't a pain getting to other places we wanted to check out. Pa'ia is also close, but not close enough to feel like you're stuck in a tourist town, Haiku is very quiet. We traveled all over Maui the week we were there, and never felt too far from our home base. The home was very clean, and we had access to a washer/dryer and a mini kitchen, which we used to make dinners a couple of nights. Lack of microwave was a bummer, but not a deal breaker. Additionally, wifi was hit and miss at times, but didn't negatively impact the experience overall. If you're looking for a homey place in a quiet setting, away from resorts and tourists, this is the place.
