Away from the touristy areas of the island but still minutes from the ocean and the road to Hana is Ashley’s place. Two general stores are nearby if you forget anything and need them in a pinch. Hana takes quite a while to get to if you’d like to stop frequently and really take it all in so it was amazing to be close enough to visit a few stops on different days. A big lanai to enjoy coffee while the air still smells of rain is nice. Paia, Haiku, and Makawao were all within 15 minutes, each with unique charm.
