My best friend and I LOVED staying with Gary and Marianne at their Hale Kokomo. Super comfy bed with Organic AND SOFT bedding, they are awesome hosts as well. Marianne has an organic hair salon and is well connected with the community. Gary has built half the restaurants in Maui and they both gave superb recommendations of good eats and the best beaches around. They have a beautiful room in the main building with its own bathroom and a gourmet kitchen to share. They also have a super cute cottage/ Ohana with its own separate entrance and kitchen. Haiku is right next to Paia, where all the locals and young and hip people hang out. It's gorgeous and lush and 15 minutes from the airport. Next to Mana foods , which is a mini Berkeley bowl/ wholefoods and the Temple of Peace a very cute day spa equiped with noncholorinated hot and cold plunges with an infrared sauna with a very cute new age crystal store.

I highly recommend staying with them for a luxurious and more local experience. Experience the real Maui.

Cant wait to return and see our adopted parents! Thanks Airbnb for my new extended family!
