We loved our stay here! We were a group of six adults (three couples) in our early thirties — so having a place with three bedrooms and a full kitchen was perfect.
This home is located in a residential district, far from the resort scene. Our average day involved waking up before sunrise, to watch the sunrise down the road at Ho’opika beach park, followed by lattes and pasties from Kuau Market (just a block from the house!)
There’s two small beaches in easy walking distance — and actually a third (Kaulahao) if you’re willing to walk about 10 minutes. By far our favorite beach was Baldwin. It was just about 5 minutes away, and the perfect mix of soft sand, swimability, and good boogie board waves for our group.
Paia has a great restaurant and shopping scene, but we found ourselves often cooking at home on the grill, or spending our days wandering the island. The home is located centrally for access to Hana, upcountry, as well as both Kihei and Ka’anapali beaches,
The home was very comfortable — we never even needed to use the AC, but it was available in every room should we need it. Pressure in the shower was great, and the garage / storage room was perfect for our snorkeling supplies.
The home was clean, spacious, comfortable, and functional. We can’t wait to come back!
