PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEWS! JUST MINUTES TO THE BEACH BUT WORLDS APART

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Makawao. We usually break up our trips to Maui – ½ in Makawao and ½ at the beach. We really like the neat, little town with good restaurants, cool nights and friendly people. The views from the house are beautiful and we enjoyed the sunsets each night. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We especially appreciated all of the water toys, beach chairs and snorkel gear available for use. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and has a fantastic array of kitchen gadgets, pots and pans. The full size washer/dryer is also a plus! This home was a good jumping off point for our drive on the Road to Hana. If you stay here, you can cut off Paia with a backroad that takes you straight to the RTH. Take a right at the first stop sign coming down Olinda Road (where the Mexican Restaurant is on the corner). We used our iPhones to lead us the rest of the way and it shaved off a good bit. As for restaurants, we enjoy Casanovas, the Steak House and the Mexican restaurant. We have had great food and service at all three. Reservations are suggested at Casanova’s on Fri & Sat evenings. We also like to pick up breakfast sandwiches at the general store in the mornings. Pick up groceries in Kahului before heading up. The general store is handy for day to day items, but if you need more,stop at one of the groceries in Kahului. The owner suggested an amazing massage therapist to us, who came to the house and gave massages. What a treat. She was amazing (even my mother in law who is a massage therapist herself thought she was awesome!). I think her name is Megan. Highly recommend this place. Only one tiny little issue… there are lots of cackling roosters in the neighborhood. Other than that, a wonderful, well equipped house with a very responsive owner.

Incredible views from the living rrom and deck of the entire West Maui mountains and both coasts. Very comfortable home - gourmet well equipped kitchen. Second apartment downstairs with its own kitchen. Great location for biking and hiking. Walk to Makawao town and 7 miles down the hill to Paia. Great opportunity to disappear in to the landscape and live like one of the locals. Highly recommended. We are already booked for another month next year.

This place was AWESOME! I had coffee on the deck in the mornings and was greeted with double rainbows front and center all six days. And the pizza (Lilikoi /Kalua Pig) from the guy in the upcountry longs parking lot was the best pizza I ever had, I thought it was better than 2 Amy's in D.C. he's there on Wednesday's.
