Photos and Description of the Hana vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

Situated on a well groomed acre, Luana Cottage offers privacy as well as easy access to hiking, swimming, and exploring the beautiful Eastern side of Maui.

Reverse Osmosis drinking water and solar hot water (with electric backup), along with a complete kitchen and living area, assure all the comforts of home.

Beaches and Hiking:

Take a 5 minute walk to Waianapanapa State Park to watch the sun rise. There are fruit stands to gather your breakfast along the way. Wiggle your toes in the black sand beach. Take a cool dip in the fresh water pools or hike along the 'Kings Trail' and take in the beauty of the black arches, blow holes, sea turtles and whales (when in season) along the coastal path.Snorkel in the calm waters of Hana Bay or take the short hike to Red Sands. Just 2 miles from Hana town is Koki and Hamoa beach. A great place to watch the surfers or boogie board yourself.

Just 10 miles from Hana is Ohe'o Gulch where you can take a dip in the 7 Sacred Pools before you hike through the bamboo forest to Waimoku falls. Keep going and visit Palapala Ho'omau Church, and the grave of Charles Lindbergh.

Hana:

Hana is like stepping back in time to what Hawaii was like 30 years ago before high rise condos and shopping centers. You can find all the gifts you would need such as Aloha shirts, homemade jellies and jewelry at the local stands or quaint shops. The beauty of the area and the genuine Aloha spirit of the people make this a truly special place

The house exceeded our expectations. It is a beautiful home and perfect for 2 couples. The closeness to the Black Sand Beach is an added bonus. The yard and Hana area are beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed out stay in Hana. We did miss the flowers that others have commented on.

Owner's Response: I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. We apologize that you did not have a flower arrangement. Maui's Best Flowers had a busy Mother's Day and shipped all of their inventory. We look forward to hearing from you in the future.

I highly recommend anyone taking the Road to Hana stay at least one overnight. We stayed for two nights and would have been happy to stay another night. There's a lot to see and do, and this property is a great place for a home base. It's quiet, clean, well maintaned and attractive. I highly recommend the cottage - I know I'll be coming back!

You have to stay in Hana...

You have to stay in Hana. If you took the time to read all the reviews (and you always should when deciding where to stay) then you know that there is no other place to stay in Hana. All that has been said is what made our decision so easy, and we could not have been happier right from the start of initiating the rental process. Jodi (our Hana Montana) thankyou so very much for doing such an amazing job of welcoming us to your "cottage"
The fruit bowl with the mini bananas, the tropical flowers from Stacy (www.maiubest.com)so welcoming.
Comfy beds, wonderful decor. Great explorations at the Park and Hamoa Beach. We did buy food before heading down to Hana and we BBQ'd each night. How perfect to have dinner on the lanai and wave so long to those who were leaving the park and had to drive back up the highway each day!!

Owner's Response: Thank you for letting me know of your experience at my cottage. It is so nice to know that people appreciate the location and the small additions we like to provide to make your stay more like home.

Lovely, clean home,tastefully decorated and very comfortable beds. We stayed during the Thanksgiving holiday, I roasted my turkey and 6-9am, then we hike the Pipwii Trail, came back to the cottage and had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal complete stuffing and pumpkin pie (thanks to Jodi's advice to stop at Costco's near the airport). I would recommend this cottage for at least 2 nights to really appreciate Hana and the beauty of Hawaii. Hope to return again.

The property exceeded all my expectations - spacious, very well maintained, conveniently and tastefully furnished, and best positioned to be close to the Waianapanapa State Park (walking distance to the beach), and to the Hana Highway (less than 10 minutes of driving to get to any place in Hana).
A garden with enormous grass lawn, surrounded by papaya, banana, lemon, coconut trees, various tropical flowers, and many others exotic plants I’d never known names of, is best viewed from the large elevated lanai with convenient chairs, table, and grill. In the morning, you can spot mongooses playing in the garden, and in the evening watch numerous geckos hunting bugs under the lanai roof. Counting them was one of the best parts for our kids!
On the arrival, we were greeted with branch of rape bananas hanging from the porch, plate of exotic fruits, and the most beautiful bouquet of tropical flowers! Pictures of our teenage daughters with the bouquet will make a definite highlight of their Facebook timeline.
We spent 4 nights in Hana, and can’t possibly imagine how people making one-day trip to Hana consider they’ve seen any of the island’s beauty. Our family loves traveling and exploring new places, and we’ve had enough to do every day of our stay. We would spend more time there if the vacation was any longer… All our family would love to return there again!

Nicely decorated (contemporary) place in Hana, near Wainapanapa State Park. Everything was clean exactly as described. Great communication from owner.

Tips for trip to Hana: make frequent short stops even if it's raining so people in the back don't get car sick. Start before noon so you're not rushing.

Great vacation home in central Hana location

The house was wonderful and had everything we could want in a great location to explore Hana and surrounding area. Family of 4 adults and 1 teen were very comfortable. The house even had San Francisco Giants local SportsNet channel so we could see all the World Series winning celebration on TV. (SF Giants won the World Series Sunday) Great spot to relax and enjoy the other side of Maui. Wonderful hikes from the house. Short drive to the fresh water pools at mile marker 48 too. Do not miss this great swim that was uncrowded when we visited. Very nice short steep hike to the large cross above Hana. Great food can be had from the many friendly people of Hana. There were many roadside stands selling BBQ Chicken etc. We did not go the either of the two formal restaurants. I would recommend this house as a great base to explore Hana area and to break up the drive. We continued to drive around the island clockwise and had no issues with the road. Just make sure you have at least half a tank when you leave Hana.

One night stay in Hana paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: October 19, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My family and I (total of four people) stayed here one October night as a stopover during our drive through the Road to Hana. At first I was dubious about staying in Hana and was apprehensive about staying "in the middle of nowhere" as several people told me. But it was the perfect decision - trying to do the drive from Lahaina and back would have been way too much so I'm very glad we stayed here.

The location itself is walking distance to Waianapanapa beach which was my favorite destination in Maui. The walk to the beach is an adventure within itself, as you will pass by tons of fruit trees and homes selling fruit on the side. The property is HUGE with several fruit trees. If I could be reincarnated as a house, this is the house I'd like to become - it's spotlessly clean, has lovely interior designing with wood floors, comfortable couches and beds, and luxurious bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the floor space was quite spacious.

The place easily sleeps four, and my brother was partial to the huge couch in the living room. It may be a little scary to find the place at night as there are no street lights on the road, but the owner gives very good directions so we found it with little difficulty. The one negative is that there is no AC so when we entered the house it was incredibly hot, but that was quickly remedied by opening all the windows which have screens to keep out insects.

The owner herself is incredibly nice and happy to give suggestions and advice which I appreciated. She was very responsive to my calls and e-mails. We were left fruit in a basket, including avocados about 6x larger than any I've ever seen, bananas, and many others.

I would highly recommend this home as a place to stay if you would like to take your time doing the Road to Hana. We ended up driving back the way we came the next day, mainly because we wanted to soak up as much of the house as possible.
