This is my favorite airbnb I have ever stayed at! The view from the back deck and the sea breeze was just stunning. Walking down to the gorgeous beach 1 minute away every morning was heavenly. We loved the sea turtles that came right up on the sand.
The house is lovely and comfortable. It included many helpful/useful things like boogie boards, towels, and laundry supplies. The dishes and pots and kitchen supplies were all good quality.
The separate cottage offered excellent privacy for my parents who were vacationing with us. The climate indoors was always perfect because with the screen doors open and the fans going, the fresh air just flows through continually.
The town of Paia is only a few minutes away and it surprised me how good the food was (especially the shaved ice and flatbread pizza) as well as the shopping (really cute boutique shops) - considering it is not a large town it had a lot of options! And the people working at the shops were extremely kind.
One of the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever done (the Kahakapao Loop) was less than 30 mins away and excellent snorkeling was also reasonably close. The airport is also not far.
I want to come back here every year! We had the best week.
