Maui County Rental permit - STPH 2014/0004 TA-097-868-8000-01 Welcome to Seaview! This is a unique family style vacation home, offering space for up to ten family members or friends to vacation together, with considerable privacy. Nestled against a large gulch, the views sweep across the ravine, over the fields, to a panoramic view of the entire coastline from Hookipa down to Kahului. There is also a gorgeous view of the West Maui Mountains.. It is truly a setting that will restore peace and tranquility to your life. A vacation in Upcountry Maui is an opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle, and experience a different side of Maui. Set just a few hundred feet above sea level, Seaview sits outside the rain band, on the edge of a hill, at the entrance to the quiet, rural town of Haiku. Just one mile down the road is the town center, with a variety of amenities, eating places and services. For upscale dining, Mama's Fish House and Haliimaile General Store (two of Maui's best restaurants) are within ten to fifteen minutes by car. If you are looking for more options, Paia or Makawao are only ten minutes by car from Seaview. The closest beach is Hookipa (5 minutes by car) which is considered a windsurfing/surfing/kiting beach. It’s fun to sit on the beach and watch the action. Just before dusk, the sea turtles come out of the water to spend the night on the sand (far right corner of the beach). Another five minutes beyond Hookipa brings you to Paia Bay and then Baldwin Beach/Baby Beach. This is a long golden stretch of sand, and never crowded. After a few hours at Seaview, you might not leave until it's time to catch your flight home. The grounds feature: Large solar heated pool with lap lane Hot-tub Outdoor dining Sun chaises by the pool Outdoor shower Gas grill The main wing of the Seaview home offers: - deck with chairs to enjoy the view - large Great Room with living, dining for ten (rare to find a table that seats ten) and kitchen - upper level with pool table - two offices (his and hers) with high speed internet - full wall of windows looking out to the North coastline - three bedrooms (king, king, 2 twins), 2.5 bathrooms. These rooms are on the lower level. Set to the back is the playroom or TV room that can be opened to the back courtyard (both sets of double doors open). This is a wonderful space if your group includes children, as it gives them some separation from the main living space. An extra fridge in this room is perfect for stockpiling cold sodas etc. The Cabana Suite is the obvious favorite and a master bedroom like no other! It is a romantic room with arched ceiling beams and king bed facing across the pool to a gorgeous view of the North Shore. To the left side is a small patio, bordered by a section of grass, and then vegetation that drops into the gulch. The sound of water from the small stream behind the cabana will lull you to sleep. - sits to the far side of the pool with privacy from the Main Villa - cabana bedroom with king bed, A/C, and ensuite bathroom - large bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. - Soak in the tub while looking out to natural vegetation - large walk-in closet - remote control window blinds - four poster king bed The Nanny Suite is a two story suite which includes a sitting room, bathroom and bedroom (queen bed).

We are able to make an exception for one additional infant UNDER the age of two at time of travel. This is NOT a shared property. The full property (pool, hot-tub, gardens, orchard, five bedroom house) are exclusively for your use. We're just a mile away and can be at the house very quickly to help with any questions or issues. We want to be sure you have a fabulous (and comfy) vacation at the Seaview property. There's really no shortage! The Haiku area is close to world class surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, hiking, and biking. Be sure to visit Donnie at Go Cycling Maui, located in Paia. They offer the ultimate cycling tour experience, treating you like a professional cyclist (sort of like a fantasy camp for cyclists). They are also a full service bike shop with high end rentals. Haleakala Bike Company is also located in Haiku, and offer a very different service. They drive to the Haleakala park gate and provide a bike for you to cycle down at your own pace. For a quick hike, be sure to visit Twin Falls (about 10-15 minutes by car from Seaview) and hike up the stream to the waterfalls. They're a bit chilly, but there's nothing like swimming under a waterfall. If you want to soar over a gulch, the Piiholo Zipline is a short ten minute drive from Seaview. A rental car is highly recommended. Maui has very limited public transportation, and without a car you'd miss all of the things to see and do that are scattered to the four corners of the island. When you quote the price here on the Airbnb site, it will show rent, tax, cleaning fee. This is the FULL price. You won't need to worry that we'll be trying to collect additional funds upon arrival. This is the FULL price. This property HAS a Maui County short term rental permit (important these days as the County is now closing unpermitted rentals)
