Welcome to the Sugar Shack – your peaceful hideaway nestled on the slopes of Haleakala with jaw-dropping panoramic views of Maui’s North Shore, the West Maui Mountains, and all the way to Ma’alaea Harbor and the summit of Haleakala. We’re close to everything, but a world away from the typical condo-and-tourist scene. Our cozy studio offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. We’re just 15–20 minutes from the airport, and 10–12 minutes to the charming towns of Paia and Makawao. Kihei and Wailea are about 25 minutes away, while Lahaina and Kaanapali are an easy 30–45 minute drive (traffic depending). We’re also an hour closer to Hana than most upcountry stays! At 1,000 feet elevation, the weather is near perfect – cool, breezy evenings and sunny days. Relax on your private lanai, chillax in the handwoven Mayan hammock, and soak in the trade winds and serenity with expansive views of rolling green former cane fields now farmland and a spectacular view of the Maui’s North Shore and deep blue Hawaiian ocean. 🛏️ Sleep Like Royalty You’ll rest easy on our luxurious California King memory foam bed, complete with soft cotton linens, down pillows, and hotel-quality bedding.

We offer a truly local, rural experience that’s far from the crowds and shopping centers – and much more relaxing. We live upstairs and are happy to help if you need anything. While you may hear us from time to time (we’re usually out early), we respect your space and privacy. If you’re extremely sensitive to sound, this may not be the right fit, but most all of our guests tell us it’s peaceful and quiet. 🐛 A Note About Nature We’re surrounded by the beauty of the tropics – which sometimes includes a cane spider or even a cockroach. It’s part of life in Hawaii, even at luxury resorts. But don’t worry – they’re harmless, and we keep everything clean and well maintained. You’ll also spot geckos and other local critters, which we consider lucky visitors! ✅ Good to Know • This is a non-smoking, no-pet property except for Wilson your co host • Maximum 2 guests per stay (per permit requirements) •.

Aloha, Lala Guest access Guests have access to our large yard for relaxation or fitness. Use of washer/dryer is available upon request. It is located outside behind your bedroom window in an enclosed laundry shed. Soap and dryer sheets are available and complimentary. We also have a spacious double clothesline which I use all the time to dry my items in the fresh Maui sun and air. Feel free to use the electric dryer as well. Please latch all fence gates when entering and exiting the property. Even when using the laundry area. Wilson, our German Shorthair Pointer co-host is safe inside the property fencing and gate. He is not safe out on the public street and access points. Feel free to use house amenities. They are provided for your comfort, enjoyment and convenience. A few friendly reminders: 1. Close all windows when air-conditioning is in use. Do not run the AC with the windows open. 2. Do not leave the stove, air-conditioning or lights on when you leave the property. 3. If the power goes out (it happens) do not flush the toilet. Please check the GFCI outlet located on the right hand side at the base of the toilet, above the baseboard. If it's red, you can reset it by pushing the center button. It must turn green. If it does not turn green, do not flush and notify us immediately. The only paper that can be flushed is toilet paper. DO NOT flush paper towels, napkins, feminine products, bottle caps, Q-tips, cotton balls, rags, magazines, plastic, etc. These items will cause the toilet to stop working. If it stops working, every effort will be made to repair it. If you did flush something other than toilet paper, notify us immediately. 4. If something breaks or isn't working properly, please allow us the courtesy and opportunity to correct it. We do our best to ensure light bulbs, batteries and other devices are in working order, but sometimes they just stop working due to no fault of anyone. It just happens and we will do our best to get it back up and running. Extra batteries and lightbulbs are stored in the unit. 5. If you choose to play frisbee with Wilson, please try not to throw the frisbee over the fence. Its easy to mis-gage or the wind takes it. Be very mindful to throw it gently so it doesn't go over the fence. If it happens, let us know. The cane grass is sharp and we prefer you not walk through it looking for the frisbee.
