A lovely cottage in Kuau, about a mile up the Hana Highway from "downtown" Paia. Two fully separate bedrooms were a definite plus. Reliable wifi connection. Plenty of dishes, utensils and small kitchen appliances. Very nice general store across the street, with good bread, poke bowls, and not-too-overpriced local beer. A short walk from the Kuau store through a beautiful neighborhood brings you to the beach access, with a small sand beach, lots of great rocks for beachcombing and climbing, and, at least in December, gangs of sea turtles. Splurge for one meal at Mama's Fish House on the beach - you won't regret it. Cons - the cottage is set back, but on the Hana Highway. Traffic can be backed up (and heard) at certain times of the day. On the bright side, the public bus stop is right there on the Hana Highway as well, and there is an entire, secluded tropical yard between you and the road. The cottage is also a cottage, so be prepared for inside geckos, some tiny ants, and an occasional centipede (which we found out do indeed sting). No infestations, but frequent enough visitors to have us store most of our food in the refrigerator. Last, there is an outdoor patio with beach gear, washer and dryer, sink, lawn furniture, and grill. It looked like no one staying at the cottage had used these in months. I spent a couple of hours tidying it up, emptying spiders out of the snorkel gear, assessing which beach chairs and boogie boards were useable, trimming back some errant grass, and washing down the tables and chairs. It was a lovely day and a lovely location, so I didn't mind, but I would have preferred to have been able to simply step out with my coffee and relax.
