We can’t say enough good things about our time at the Luna House! The place was exceptionally clean, bright and cozy with everything you would need to enjoy your stay. Very conveniently located, you are literally steps from all the shops and restaurants in downtown Paia. The host, Jim was incredibly helpful and accommodating, the house was well stocked and we really appreciated the small details that made our stay even more comfortable (i.e. coffee/tea, assortment of cold drinks, fresh fruit picked right from the backyard, lots of clean towels and extra blankets, and even beach chairs and umbrella! All these little perks actually add up quite a bit, saving you money compared to another place without them). If you bring kitesurfing or water sports gear, there is a little storage room under the house that locks and you can store your gear there securely overnight.
Jim was a pleasure to speak with and gave us lots of great tips. We had such an amazing time and can’t wait to come back!
One tip if you've never been to Maui before: If you want to guzzle sugary drinks from waiter service and run around like a crazy tourist, then you are better off in a resort in Kaanapali. The north shore is a chill but active place that respects the environment and animals. You can live more like the locals do: walk/jog the beaches in the morning, yoga, stroll over to the great Paia Bay Coffee shop for a vegan bagel, then do ocean sports in the afternoon. It's awesome!
