My wife and I spent 9 nights at Hale Ho'okipa House on our honeymoon. The home is clean, spacious, well-equipped, and has great views of the ocean. Margit and her assistant AJ made our trip very easy with great communication and making sure we had everything we needed. When we called about a wasps' nest, there was someone there to spray for them the very next day. We particularly enjoyed our morning coffee sitting out on the deck and cooking our dinner on the grill a few nights.
While we were very happy with the property, there are a few things that did not meet our expectations. First, and most importantly, even though the house is less than a mile from downtown Paia, it is not safe to walk to town. There are no sidewalks, very narrow shoulders with nowhere to escape to, and drivers fly through the area at 50+ MPH looking at their cell phones despite being in a residential area with a 30 MPH speed limit. Additionally, the only beach that can reasonably walked to is the one at Mama's Fish House, which is only accessible to customers. So if you stay at this property, you will NEED to rent a car, which luckily my wife convinced me to do a few weeks before we left. The only other complaint we had about the property is that the internet speed is very inconsistent and mostly very slow (average 0.5 Mbps). Per AJ's suggestion, I tried resetting the modem and Wi-Fi, but it did not help. Since we were mostly out and about, this was not a major concern, but I did have to take care of some work during our vacation and ended up having to tether to my phone in order to get anything done so I was thankful for my unlimited data plan.
Overall, I would recommend this property to a group that plans to explore the island a bit (by car) but then relax at a nice, comfortable home in the evening since Paia is centrally located and the property is clean, comfortable, and has all the amenities you'll need.
