Photos and Description of the Huelo vacation cottage rental

May 15 through June: Stays over 14 nights get free base rental car paid for! Ask us!

The Lilikoi One Bedroom House sits on two acres directly adjacent to miles of undeveloped jungle. It is an earth-friendly low-environmental impact cottage.

**Highlights**

- Stand-alone property on two acres -

You are the only home on this property.

- Raised high on stilts with a treetop jungle view

(and a peek-a-boo view of the ocean from the lanai & dining area)

- Sleeps up to four adults comfortably

- High-Speed Wireless Internet Access

- Outdoor banana shower is a guest favorite!

- Full-Sized Washer & Dryer

- Ample supply of quality bath & beach towels, linens and pillows

- Weber 'Smokey Joe' Portable BBQ & Tools (Perfect for the lanai or beach!)

- Environmentally friendly solar generated power & rainwater catchment (with backup generator just in case.)

- New flat-panel LED HDTV Monitor Supports Most Media Devices (with DVD, USB, HDMI, PC (D Sub), DVI, Optical, Component & Composite Inputs)

**DETAILS**

The house is at the edge of the rainforest, perched atop a hill overlooking the jungle. I can't begin to describe in words how awesome it is to sit out on the lanai or in the living room listening to all the birds in the jungle.

The lanai has two tables and the stars are spectacular at night. When evening rains come in, the lanai is such a spectacular spot to watch the raindrops stream though the sunlight falling into the jungle. (Most of our rain comes from trade wind cycle, typically blowing in overnight or later in the afternoon. Since trade wind clouds come from the east, the afternoon sun still shines brightly, giving use plenty of rainbows!)

If you can tear yourself away from the lanai, the inside dining table with high pub-style swivel chairs brings you right into the view.

Bedroom with queen bed, plenty of light, large closet with shelves, hanging and luggage space.

Open and airy living room with queen sofabed, CD-Player w/our favorite Hawaiian music and new Flat-Panel TV. Large windows are everywhere, bringing the outside inside.

Full kitchen with granite counter tops, double-stainless-steel-sink & fridge. Fully stocked with amenities such as microwave, coffee maker, wine rack, blender, water blubber, dishes, glassware, tableware, pots, pans, knives, etc.

Bathroom with tub and shower. A second outdoor shower.

**BEACHES**

These are our favorite of the uncrowded, non-touristy North Shore beaches. Once you've been to these miles of serene uncrowded beaches, going to hotel beaches seems silly :)

- Baby Beach

Great for kids, lap swimmers and beachcombers. Also very scenic.

- Ho’okipa Beach Park

You can watch some of the best windsurfers in the world here. Also has very regular surf breaks.

- Baldwin Cove

Calm cove, great for escaping the wind when the sand is blowing!

- Baldwin Beach Park

A long, sandy beach with plenty of parking, lifeguards and facilities.

- Tavares Beach

Popular with locals. Good surf break, too.

- Kuau Cove aka Beach at Mama’s Fish House

A small tide pool beach. Kids love exploring here.

- Paia Bay

Great for advanced boogie boarders. Also has a good surf break.

- Paia Secret Beach

Secluded and clothing optional.

- Jaws

In the winter you can watch big-wave surfers defy sanity!

**LOCATION**

Our location is the perfect place for visitors who want to escape the pre-package touristy resort areas that for a more genuine experience, yet still be based centrally enough to day-trip all over our spectacular island.

Lilikoi Jungle Cottage is a quiet, eco-friendly off-grid escape in a very special valley on the North Shore of Maui. You can walk right into the jungle from your private cottage, swim in natural pools and waterfalls, walk, hike or relax at dramatic cliff side ocean vistas, take yoga classes from our neighbors, world renowned yoga teachers, or even experience a guided hike of areas tourists rarely experience from the author of Maui Guide Book.

The kind of folks who will love what we have to offer are active people who enjoy uncrowded beaches, waterfalls, exploring, adventures, hiking, dramatic scenery and peace and quiet - while still having the option to day-trip into the resort areas when the mood calls. If that sounds like you, you just found a place to stay that will add so much more to your Maui experience!

About Alexa Fischer

I'm an author and live on a neighboring property. I discovered Maui was my soul's long-lost home in the 90's and whenever we came back home to visit, we found this area to be the best home base for our adventures around the island. When we moved to Maui in 2004, we spent three years searching for the perfect place, renting and moving five times to feel out different areas before we found the perfect location in 2007. We have had hundreds of thrilled visitors over these years, and hope to add you as one too!

Alexa Fischer purchased this cottage in 2007
Why Alexa Fischer chose Huelo

The location is perfect for our active family of six. We can walk out our door and be swimming in waterfall pools or hiking jungle in minutes. We can drive to a dozen beautiful uncrowded beaches in 15-20 minutes. All the rest of this spectacularly perfect island is an easy reach.

What makes this cottage unique

Being an author and with four active kids - we're all over Maui, all the time. Having this location as our home base has been perfect for our busy family because it allows us to experience living in the serenity of the true, natural Hawaii while still being within easy reach of everything the island has to offer.

Dozens of natural pools and waterfalls make their way down the mountain to the ocean. These waterfalls and pools aren't in the tourist guidebooks, so you will almost always have them all to yourself!

The shoreline here is dramatic, there are several walks and hikes along the shoreline and down to the ocean.

Twin Falls is practically our neighbor.

The Bamboo Forest is just 4 miles away.

We're close to Pa'ia, and Makawao.

The Road to Hana begins here.

Closer + avoid traffic bottlenecks to Kula, Ulapalakua and Haleakala Park vs. staying in resort areas.

About the same drive-time to Iao Valley and Kahului as the resorts are.

About twenty minutes more to drive to either resort area vs. staying in one and driving to explore the other (and you should explore it all!)

Drives on this side of Maui are incredibly beautiful, enjoyable and scenic, making day-tripping all over the island an absolute pleasure and a must-do!

Honeymoon Cottage

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 1, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
My wife and I booked this lovely little place for part of our Hawaii honeymoon. The drive to the cottage was an adventure and very beautiful and when we pulled up to the house itself we were delighted to see how private and serene it was. Then we stepped into a clean and beautifully furnished house that we were to call home for the next 5 days and were thrilled. We had everything we needed including a package of literature with things to do and recommendations of the best of all things local. We would definitely come back and stay here again. It was located in an ideal area, away from the busy towns, but close enough of a drive that nothing we needed was more than a 15 minute drive away. Loved this place!

We stayed in the Jungle Cottage for eight nights and had a really nice time. The cottage was well appointed with anything you could ever need away from home. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck every morning where a gentle cool breeze would blow before the warmth of the sun made an appearance. The evenings were spent sitting on the deck watching the sun disappear behind the trees revealing a beautiful sunset. There were a few hikes to take directly from the cottage which was very nice on days you didn't want to venture too far. If you are looking for complete peace and quiet, this is the place to be. The property managers were really nice and were always available to answer any question we might have. There is a lot of information in the “Important Stuff” page that I highly recommend you read. Thank you for a great time!

My wife and I rented this home for 1/2 of our Honeymoon stay on Maui. If you are looking for a unique experience, this is the place for you! Set off in the jungle along the Hana Highway (Not next to the Highway), this home want amazing place to get in touch with the natural habitat of Hawaii of yester-year. The jungle was full of exotic birds chirps, and plants & flowers galore! If you are a nature lover, you should definitely look into renting this home. Close access to the Hana Highway, Twin Falls (amazing waterfall), and Mama's fish house!! The home was clean, and there were lots of amenities provided to ensure a good stay. Please check it out if you are looking for the adventure of your life!!

Very Cool location! We didn't really know what to expect, but were very happy with the property. Close by Twin Falls, Paia, and Hana. Our 12 year old son had a great time running around the jungle and exploring. Would love to go back and enjoy the silence and watch the stars!

If you want to be selcuded, private and stress free. This place has it all. I did tons of research on Maui. We were going to stay in Kehei and I am glad we didnt. The sort walk to the Princess Pools was magical. The surrounding jungle felt like home. You are litterally 2 minutes from the amazing Hana Hwy. I cannot wait to go back. I will be booking a family vacation soon. However this was just me and the wifes time away and alone. It revitalized our relationship. If you want to go and be with your family or especially with your spouse. This is the only place to be on the Island.
