Memorable Maui Stay

This was our FAVORITE place to stay during our 4 island - 4 week trip. This home is beautifully designed decorated and constructed. There is beauty in its simplicity but you will have everything you need. The views are spectacular and we loved the location near Pa’ia, the Road to Hana, and Haleakala. My only regret is we couldn’t stay longer.

Great spot to get away

My wife and I traveled to Hawaii for our first time and choose to stay here. It was a fantastic experience. Being able to see the ocean from our deck was awesome. John was a great host and offered great restaurant recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed for our excursions. The location felt secluded and away from major tourist areas which is what we wanted. Very peaceful. Would highly recommend!

Gorgeous getaway

The place was exactly what we were looking for - beautiful, open to nature, care in every detail and away from the touristy parts of the island. Reading in the hammock swing for hours looking out over the treetops to the ocean was an absolute dream, and John was incredibly gracious, communicative and helpful. We would love to come back!

Peaceful Haven

We really enjoyed our relaxing and refreshing stay at the Pole House. It is unique in every way and beautifully built. Felt surreal taking in the amazing views from the balcony, including the gorgeous sunrise and sunsets. Loved waking up to the cool breeze, sounds of nature, and panoramic views of the sky and surrounding forest. It was the perfect location for our Road to Hana and Haleakala adventures. John, the owner, was very welcoming, kind, and accommodating. He made sure we had everything we needed and more. Enjoyed our conversations and listening to his stories. He was a very gracious host and we appreciated his helpful suggestions. Thank you, John, for a wonderful, memorable getaway.

The construction of the house reveals itself to be pure island perfection. Location is close to Paia, the jungle view to the edge of the sea from wraparound porch is perfect. The sunrise and the birds are joyous. The peacefulness and beauty of this property are beyond compare

Beautiful Home in the Rainforest

We had a wonderful 2 week stay at the Pole House. The beautiful house with cathedral ceilings opened completely to the outside and you really enjoyed the feeling of being in the rainforest. The house is a little rustic but that just added to the charm. Though in a neighborhood with houses around, the view was nothing but rainforest and the ocean in the distance. Rainbows over the forest were spectacular. The host was always available and was very helpful and informative. The location was very convenient to the road to Hana, and the beach at Hookipa.

Second time staying at this amazing place

The pole house is one of the most unique and amazing places we have stayed at. In addition, John is an amazing host. He is very down to earth, has great stories, and works hard to create a great environment for his guests. Last time my wife and I visited Maui we stayed here. We enjoyed it so much that we planned our second visit to Maui based around being able to book the pole house. We love being able to open up all the doors, the view of the trees, the ocean in the distance, and the quiet neighborhood. While we had many adventures on this trip: hiking into Haleakala, driving and hiking the northwest area, hiking south of Kihei, and enjoying the beach - the pole house is our version of paradise and we plan to stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Jungle hideaway

A little slice of paradise. Private and serene yet close to all of the things that we wanted to see and do. Every second we spent in the home seemed like something out of a dream. Beautifully appointed. We particularly loved the way that we felt surrounded by all of the sights and sounds of the jungle. Felt like we were staying in a luxury treehouse with an ocean view. John was a fantastic host. Attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Highly recommend.

Better than any other bnb/vrbo I have ever had

The pictures sell it enough, but what the pictures dont show is how equally incredible the host/creator of the house is. Our host was second to none, amazingly kind and generous. Tons of laughs, intrigue and beauty emanate from this property and it will add more to your trip than you would ever suspect. Much Mahalo - can recommend enough.

Treehouse on Maui

We had an absolutely incredible stay! It can be a little hard to find but only because it is so private and secluded in the best way. But that was no issue because our host John was there to help from the very beginning, as he continued to do throughout our entire stay, sending up grocery items and fresh fruit. It rained our whole trip but it was no issue because we didn’t even want to leave. About 10-20 minutes from groceries & restaurants. Wonderful wonderful stay!

The listing does not do it justice!

This is an exclusive,isolated paradise that John has built. Although in a residential neighborhood,it's set deep inside a beautiful plantation with lots of incredible plants and trees. It's high up above the surrounding area and offers views of lush canopies and then irth coast ocean. Location is peaceful and isolated but close enough to local town Paia and literally at the start of the road to Hana we managed to drive to haleakala and also the south coast easily from here too. Nearest sandy beaches are a 15 min drive away but surfing beaches are closer . The house itself is far beyond what the listing shows. It's the highest quality of design with expensive wood work throughout and an impressive sliding door system on 3 of the 4 walls, allowing fascinating natural air conditioning. Lots of beautiful sculpture work and art around and unique is an under. John himself is a great guy. He made himself available to us and is very interesting as well as helpful. We personally don't enjoy interacting with hosts but the little time we made to speak to him, he was very generous and fun. Just a note to ignore the woman complaining about ants. Shocking how petty people can be. The property sits in the most pristine natural landscape and is open air if you leave the sliding doors open. Of course there would be insects but all we had were ants crawl over some open banana bread we left out of the fridge. No drama at all! Not sure when we'll be back in Maui but we'll stay here again.

Fantastic peaceful location with ocean view

My wife and I loved our stay at the Pole House. I will start with the view. You are elevated and there is nothing but green between you and the ocean. Sunsets are fabulous. The wrap around deck is so serene. It is utterly quiet other than the rooster and other birds. The house is an open air design. We chose to open it up during the day and close it up at night and had no issues with bugs. The kitchen, bathroom, shower, etc. are all really good. The online photos are accurate. The owner John has lots of extras he can loan you for activities. We borrowed yoga mats and weights to use in the morning. Also thermoses for hiking. He had a lot of beach and recreational items. If you need something just text him and it shows up. Next is location. It is about 30 minutes from the airport. This is the green lush side of the island. The occasional afternoon rain shower was gorgeous. You are just a few minutes from the Hana Highway. It took us an hour and fifteen to make it to the the Haleakala summit for sunrise and a once in a lifetime experience. The town of Haiku is about 10 minutes away for restaurants and groceries. Paia and the beaches are not much farther. It is a perfect base to explore from. In summary this is a fun stay for adventuresome couples looking for something out of the ordinary.

Relaxing Pole House

My husband and I really enjoyed the pole house. The views are beautiful. It was relaxing to leave the doors open for the fresh breeze and the listen to the rain while we slept. Setting on the deck at night was great for looking at the stars. If you want to stay in and watch TV or play on the internet you wont be disappointed. John was always available to help us with anything we would need. He has everything you would need to enjoy a day at the beach from towels to bogie boards. He even has coats for staying warm at the crater. We kept our food in the refrigerator or sealed in plastic bags. We also made sure to wipe off the counters each time we had food out. We did not have a problem with bugs. One thing to keep in mind is this house does not have air conditioning. Therefore, the floor to ceiling doors are kept open to let the breeze flow through. This does let a few bugs in because they are attracted to the night lights. We did not feel this was a problem. You need to realize you are in an open house with nature all around. Relax and enjoy the change in pace.

BOOK IT!!!

My wife and I absolutely loved this place. Impressive, well built construction, and incredibly unique. It’s more than just a place to sleep, the pole house is an experience you don’t want to miss. We kept all the walls open the whole time we were there to enjoy the open air. It is quiet, peaceful, and tucked back in a very safe neighborhood. Plenty of privacy from all angles on the balcony no other homes can see you and you can’t see them. There is a perfect balance of being in nature and very nice amenities, nice large bathroom, big stainless steel fridge that looks brand new and squeaky clean on the inside, and a fully equipped kitchen with anything you need. Super clean and comfortable. If you are worried about cleanliness with it being an outdoors open air house, don’t be. Everything was impeccably clean when we arrived. If you see reviews about bugs or ants, it’s people that will find a way to complain about anything/everything. We had several geckos on the walls and ceiling but never any ants. There was a nice steady breeze the 3 days we were there and not one mosquito bite with all doors open all day and night. The host, John, could not be more welcoming, friendly and accommodating. He will help you with literally anything he can. We can not recommend this place enough. Book it! You won’t regret it!
