We spent our first family vacation at John's cottage in Paia and highly recommend John and his cottage. John was extremely helpful and responsive while we were planning our visit, and the property itself was perfect for our vacation. The location is unbeatable, only a short drive from Paia village but in a nice and quiet spot very close to Hoʻokipa beach. The cottage itself had plenty of room, was comfortably furnished, and safe for adventurous toddlers. Having access to laundry on site was super helpful. We also had a private outdoor area to sit and enjoy the Maui sun and breeze. The gourmet food Kuau store was conveniently located across the street and offered excellent coffee, snacks, prepared foods, etc. We loved Paia itself and would definitely return to this cottage on a future trip!
