This cottage is wonderful! If you're up in the air on whether or not to stay on the east side of Maui, do it! It is a wonderful change of pace from the hustle bustle tourism on the west side! Jody's place is set in a wonderful spot! You will have driven most of the road to Hana and be able to make as many stops along the road during the day as you would like (not needing to worry about driving back!). The cottage is just about another 25 minutes to the Pipiwai Trail and the Oheo Gulch/Seven Sacred Pools. Hana has some great food trucks and a local general store for anything you may need - know that some things are difficult to find on this side of the island though. Jody offered a multitude of local tips and recommendations. The cottage's location at the entrance to the Waianapanana State Park is PERFECT! Personally, this beach was one of the top 2 most beautiful places we saw on Maui! Jody's house was well stocked with anything we needed from towels to paper towels. A wonderful find!
