This little cottage is a perfect "home" for you on vacation - not a sterile hotel room. (And indeed, our 'jungle' environment will make itself known when you see a gecko on the wall above your kitchen light. Don't let them freak you out - they're called 'mo'o' and actually mean good luck and they are totally harmless). We live on property, so will be very happy to answer questions about the island etc. Something very different from the usual "tourist" experience! But please note: WE HAVE NO TV RECEPTION. However, we DO have high speed internet and a smart TV so you can relax after your long stressful day at the beach with Netflix and Amazon Prime video. Also please note: we don't do maid service. You are always welcome to exchange linens though, and we have a complimentary guest laundry.

Save money - cook "in" - and enjoy the romance of having your own private Haiku retreat on Maui's wild north shore. We're away from tourist crowds, but close enough to town to find a fabulous restaurant if you don't feel like cooking. Great little 'boutiques, featuring resident artists & jewelers; great local fresh cuisine and farmer's markets. Once you've discovered our side of the island, you won't want to leave.

We're a jumping off point to our three small local towns - Haiku (15 mins to restaurants & groceries), Paia (a quaint beach town with a modern, fun vibe), and Makawao (a 'paniolo' / cowboy town with a unique Hawaiian flair). Then, of course ... you have golden beaches, giant sea turtle resting places, tide pools, boogie-boarding ... hiking the crater ... exploring the winery, the lavender farm, the goat farm (Surfing Goat Dairy - how cool is that?) ... the famous 'road to Hana' with all its riches ... waterfalls ... bamboo forests ...

Also please rinse off after the beach as it's no fun vacuuming sand out of our hot tubs!
