Had a fantastic time staying Kuau Cottage. If you're looking for a perfect hub to make your way around Maui, John's cottage is the spot. The pad has a well appointed kitchen and a great BBQ and patio for grilling. Kuau Store across the street is well stocked with basic groceries, a coffee shop, and paninis and other prepared food which we used as picnic supplies for Hana and beach trips. Short drive to Hooikipa to surf and a quick walk to Mama's Beach. Only met John the last day of our stay, but he was always in contact, super mellow and helpful. I'll definitely be back for my next Paia trip.
