Amazing place to stay! Not ideal for families with small children as it is a real quiet neighborhood and town, but absolutely perfect for couples or singles looking for a comfortable home away from home. My husband and I spent our last 6 days of our honeymoon here and it was everything we needed. We LOVED Paia Town and enjoyed visiting Ho’okipa Beach to watch the surfers and sea turtles. For those who want to travel the Road to Hana, this is the spot to be at. It’s ~ 2 hour straight drive to Hana and instead of turning back, you can continue on and see Hakka Beach, O’heo Gulch and then a BEAUTIFUL coast with open hills. It is still a single lane road for the most part and a bit less traveled than Hana Hwy but drive carefully and it is worth it. Continue on and you’ll arrive back driving roughly the same amount of time minus 1 mile.
You are roughly 1 hour from the west-side beaches, and +/-30mins from dozens of hiking trials on the northeast island side; be cautious as the roads can be more dangerous than Hana Hwy in some parts.
This place is the perfect home-base for the outdoorsy types!!
