Dear Guests, If this unit is booked for the nights you are looking for, please try our other units in the listings below: Airbnb 14127892 Airbnb 14124706 ABOUT OUR PROPERTY Our private and clean 600-sf studio nests in our quiet, peaceful land named Mana Aina, which means the power of the earth in the Hawaiian language. Mana Aina sits in a privileged spot in beautiful Haiku, enjoying the pure oxygen from Hana wrapping around the national tropical forest on the side of the Haleakala [dormant volcano]. The views from the studio go into and beyond our 12 acres of matured park. Our studio is clean and well taken care of, so you can enjoy a wonderful stay. The rental is made of bricks and painted stucco walls, tile floors, and high-beam ceilings. As soon as you open the sliding doors, you are standing on a 12-acre park covered by a lush landscape with ornamental trees, tropical plants, seasonal fruit trees, and flowers. To let you know a bit more about the property, on the ocean side of Mana Aina, there is a 50-acre forest. On the Eastside, we have a big gulch with a seasonal water stream coming down from the Haleakala's rain forest, which goes all the way down into the ocean where Jaws is located [one of the world's largest surfing/windsurfing waves]. On the Haleakala side, we have another 50-acre property as quiet as ours. East Kuiaha Road is a very quiet road on the west side of our property. We are pro wildlife and insects because our plants & trees need them, so there are big chances you will see geckos and other insects on our property. We do our best to keep them out of the studios, but you might see them. For a pristine and manicured landscape where insects and birds are fumigated, you might want to stay at one of Maui's resorts on the South Shore. ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Geographically, our property is located in the heart of Haiku, offering peace and privacy while conveniently close to all the fun, including great beaches, shopping, and restaurants. This area is unique because it's all agricultural land, and the large properties around ours allow plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the tranquility. Although our property offers seclusion and quietness, you can find great restaurants and grocery shopping just a 6-minute drive away. If you are into organic and healthy foods, the Mana Foods store in Paia is just 10 minutes away, and the Pauwela Cannery is perfect for casual breakfast or lunch. The Haiku Cannery has even more dining options, including Nuka Sushi and Colleen's Restaurant for burgers, pizza, and more. Vegout offers vegetarian options, and Maui Kombucha Bar is a must-visit. Don't forget to check out the Ahonui Plant-Based Cafe food truck on 111 Stable Road, Paia. If you're here during wave season, visit Jaws to witness some of the planet's most giant rideable waves. The Makawao Forest offers a unique hiking experience for hikers and adventurers, and the Piiholo Ranch Zip Line is a must-try. Stop by Makawao Town for shopping and sandwiches at Casanova's, or head to Paia for a stroll on the beach and some shopping at Mana Foods. Several beautiful beaches are nearby, such as Hookipa Beach Park, Tavares in Kuau Bay, Paia Bay, Baldwin Beach Park, Baby Beach, Spreckelsville, and Kanaha Beach Park. If you're looking for streams and pools, Iao Valley, located above Old Wailuku, is a must-visit spot. Finally, don't miss out on exploring the Haleakala volcano, Poli Poli, Kula, Twin Falls, and even some secret spots like Commando Hike. We hope you enjoy your stay in Maui and look forward to meeting you and discussing more great places to visit. For those who prefer a manicured landscape where insects and birds are kept at bay, Maui's resorts on the South Shore may be a better fit. But if you're looking for a more authentic, peaceful, and grounding experience, Mana Aina may be the place for you. ABOUT US Originally from Argentina, we moved to Maui in the early '90s to fulfill our windsurfing dream. Maui's consistent wave sailing conditions are second to none, making it an ideal destination for windsurfing enthusiasts like us. As an artist and nature lover, I find Maui incredibly inspiring, making it easy to create art. One of the best things about our vacation rentals is meeting people from around the globe who come to experience the beauty of our unique land. I am fortunate to live in this little slice of paradise where I can enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature. My grandparents made purchasing this property possible, and in part, I deeply love and respect them for their accomplishments. Living here allows me to honor their memory and cherish our time together. I'm grateful to my mother for having the vision and courage to buy this wonderful land and for allowing me to share this spot in paradise with thousands of wonderful guests worldwide. WHAT MAKES OUR PROPERTY UNIQUE Our property offers a unique blend of serene relaxation and nearby spots for exploring/adventure. Nestled away from the bustling tourist areas and city life, you'll discover your private oasis. However, we're still near all the excitement. Whether you're seeking a calm retreat to appreciate the natural surroundings or an action-packed outdoor adventure, our location offers both in abundance. Explore one of the nearby hiking trails, enjoy the sunshine on a pristine Maui beach, savor a meal at a local restaurant, or indulge in a shopping spree at nearby stores. Whatever your desire, it's all within easy reach.

That's TWO 12-inch noise-proof walls to enhance privacy and noise control. Also, the hallways have their roof, keeping the spaces [with their roof] apart from each other. Although it is a building with three studios connected by two hallways, they feel very private, each positioned at different angles to enhance privacy. Each unit has its entrance.

So, we don't offer additional discounts, as we aim to offer all our guests equally fair and competitive pricing.
