We booked this listing for our honeymoon and couldn't be more pleased. We were looking for something homey-feeling away from the resorts. We originally wanted to stay in Lahaina for our first trip to Maui, but when we found all the places we were interested in were booked and we saw Nina's listing, we looked into Paia and thought it would be great. Paia town totally met our expectations for a more local scene with a cute downtown area plenty to do amongst relaxing. We didn't mind driving an hour to Lahaina a couple times.

When we arrived to Nina's place it was clean, warm and welcoming. The condo was even nicer than we imagined, and we especially loved the vibrant blue tiles in the kitchen and bathroom that added to the beach feel. We were only a walk from the beach and right at the beginning of the road to Hana (a MUST, but be sure to leave early so you're not driving home in the dark like we did!).

I booked it, so my husband was pleasantly surprised when he found a closet full of snorkeling gear, towels, a cooler to bring packed lunches and all we needed to complete our trip. He said it was way better than booking a hotel, and I totally agree.

I loved that I could cook meals here. The kitchen is stocked full of pans and there are even a couple non perishables left behind that we were able to use! Be sure to check then cabinets for spices, etc. before grocery shopping. :)

Another big plus was the immediate hot water we got in the condo, and great water pressure. The water heats up extremely hot and dry quickly, and there were nice little notes cautioning us to be careful. We loved that we got instant warm water after a long day in the ocean. It was so relaxing.

Nina has also been very prompt in responses from the beginning and very friendly! I highly recommend staying here, and I would surely book here again.

Mahalo, Nina!
