Great cottage and location to explore the Road to Hana and that side of the island. Good covered lanai that had a refreshing breeze with many nature sounds. Good food at Colleen’s at the Cannery and Nuka. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and clean accommodations

Central location for seeing many of the major sights on the island. Accommodations were very clean and space adequate for 2 people. Decor had an attractive beachy feel to it which helped immerse one in the experience of being on the North Shore. Paia is a great little town with many small businesses. Best of all, Nuka is s mere two minute walk away. IMHO best sushi on Maui.

Great property and location

Loved staying in upcountry Maui and the cottage was perfect for my husband and I! It was super clean and had all the amenities needed for a weekend away! The bed was comfy. The WiFi was spot on so my husband could watch the chiefs play. The coffee Ally left was delicious and perfect for our 2 mornings. The outside area and picnic table were private and quiet. Everything was wonderful and we definitely plan on staying there again! Mahalo!!

A Month at Haiku Cottage

My husband and I were excited to have an extended 30 day holiday at Haiku Cottage based on the positive reviews we had read online. Unfortunately, our experience was quite different. From the day we checked in until we left we were plagued with nonstop maintenance issues throughout our stay. In addition, the streaming Hulu TV constantly lost signal and sometimes it would be down for hours. It was nearly impossible to watch a newscast or movie from start to finish without an issue. The Wifi was intermittent, at best, and the only time it seemed to work was in the very early morning. I had to buy additional data for my iPad to stay on top of my business at home. While there is a full kitchen with stove, microwave and full sized fridge, there is zero counter space to prep meals of any sort plus the endless stream of ants (which we were told could be a problem) made it nearly impossible to have any food around. While we had planned to make our meals at the cottage we ended up having to eat out most of the time which gets very expensive on Maui. The one positive was that the owner was quickly responsive to the problems we encountered. We just didn’t expect to spend a month in paradise having to deal with one problem after another.

Great spot for our romantic adventure

It was a little challenging to find the home in the dark as it was hidden behind some other homes... but after we knew we were in the right location it was great. The home was clean and the owner provided everything we needed for adventures.

Lovely Cottage in Haiku

This cottage was perfect my needs. It did rain unexpectedly in this area almost every day, often just for a short period of time, and in the evening, it was a bit closer to the other house on the property than I had perceived. However, the covered patio provided a private outdoor area and shelter. Also, there are ants, t, but they're small and predictable. Bedding was comfortable, closets and supplies excellent, kitchen adequate and living area comfortable. For outdoor recreation there were a few chairs, barbecue, many towels, insulated bags available, and an outdoor shower. It's not a long ride if you want a change of weather in Maui. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Great star gazing when there's a new moon. Haiku is a very small town, but conveniently within walking distance of a couple of restaurants (had dinner at one) and a very nice country grocery store. I enjoyed the general quietude of the area. It's also a shorter ride to Haleakala than from other areas, and you are at the start of the Hana Highway. The Temple of Peace is nearby (walkable). They have a small health spa there. I wasn't there for their Sunday service, though I think I would have enjoyed it. The Temple also hosts a robust Kirtan on (most?) Tuesday evening if you have an interest. Paia is nearby and very lively ... allow extra time to get through the traffic light at the main intersection. I had no need to contact the hostess, but had her contact information; she was available 24/7.

Lovely little cottage!

We really enjoyed this space. Great location in a little hamlet that has everything that you need (grocery store, food trucks, restaurants) all within a 5 minute walk. The cottage itself was clean and well appointed with lots of thoughtful extras such as beach gear (chairs, coolers etc) and a BBQ (which we used frequently). The kitchen was a good space for cooking meals and the lanai and backyard were great for hanging out after a day of touring around Maui. The only downside to this place (and certainly not something that our lovely host can change) is that there was a neighbor's dog who barked consistently throughout the day. For us, it wasn't too much of a problem but if this is something that would bother you, then it may affect your enjoyment of the place. Would highly recommend this one and if we visit Maui again, would stay here once more for sure!

Relaxing place to stay

We had a great time here! The location is convenient for exploring upcountry and the road to Hana, and the coolers, beach chairs and snorkel mask made our day trips to the beach fun and relaxing. Some evenings we used the grill and ate at the outside picnic table, which was very nice. We really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here.

Enjoyable stay

We had a great time here in Haiku! Ally was very helpful and responsive. The cottage was clean and there were many extras that were not even listed (pots, pans, plates, cups, containers, towels, beach chairs, sunscreen, bug spray, extra blanket, etc.). The hot water was not working when we showed up and she responded right away and had it fixed within hours. The town was quiet and we enjoyed some food at Colleen's and Baked on Maui.

Perfect!

I only gave this cottage 5 stars because there were no more stars to give! This lovely cottage was a 10 for me and my 17 yo son's vacation. The outside shower was awesome, the size of the cottage and the well equipped kitchen was perfect! The location was great, after a day out and about either the Hana drive or a day in the sun, it was sooo nice to come back to the shower and a quiet evening. We enjoyed listening to the birds even the early morning chickens!! The restaurants near by were excellent. Ally was alway right on any questions or suggestions, she was more then will to help with anything to make our visit the most enjoyable vacation ever. I would highly recommend Ally and her properties. We would, no doubt, stay there again, if we were able to! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bright, clean and comfortable

This cottage is completely as advertised. It is exceptionally clean, bright and private. It is very well stocked with everything required for cooking at home. Lots of windows make the cottage bright and airy, and they provide a cross breeze for ventilation. The bed is extremely comfortable! The cottage is located right in Haiku, within easy walking distance of grocery stores and restaurants. It has a wonderful outdoor shower, perfect for after-beach days. The filtered drinking water is delicious and safe. We found the ice maker a real plus. Also available are beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers. The unit's washer and dryer are easy to use. Lots of channels are available on the tv. There is plenty of storage space for clothes, suitcases, etc. Also several power bars for charging phones and camera batteries. We loved waking up to the symphony of birds every morning. The yard is well cared for, with lots of flowers and plants, as well as a grassy area. The entire cottage has been put together with attention to detail and with the occupant in mind. The owner is very approachable and responds quickly to any requests or questions. We stayed here for 28 days, and felt totally like we were coming home after each day's adventures. Thanks so much, Ally!

Loved our little Haiku cottage!

If you're looking for a well-equipped, clean, private cottage to relax and get away from the crowds, this is it! The cottage is set in a well kept yard and bordered by tropical plants. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking and cleaning up. The fridge is full size! The cottage turned out to be bigger than expected. Lots of room for two! The bed is comfy as can be. We were a little chilly on the first couple nights and Ally was very quick to provide us with a couple of extra blankets. Once we discovered the outdoor shower, there was no going back! It's very private and there's nothing to compare to coming home after a hot beach or travel day and stepping into the warm shower with a gentle breeze refreshing parched skin. The climate on that part of the island is just right. Mornings were freshly washed with the night's light rain and the sun never failed to join us as we left for on our daily adventures. The location is perfect in a small community and is a quick walk to a well-stocked grocery store and restaurants. Want to surf? The surf beaches are just a short drive away. We're not big on night life, but Paia is not far away and offers lots of shopping, restaurants and after hours fun. The tourist hubs of the south side are close enough to drive to every day for all kinds of beach and water fun. Ally is an excellent, friendly host and we highly recommend this cottage and will definitely book next time we come back to Maui!

Loved the location in Haiku. Live like a local upcountry and walk to amenities

Cute little cottage that was nicely decorated & immaculately clean . Very basic, but exactly what we were looking for price-wise as we were out and about all day & kite surfing. 1 min walk to breakfast (Colleen’s), grocery store and sushi for dinner (Nuka)! Enjoyed staying on the tropical North Shore with closer access to Kanaha Kite Beach much more than of staying in Kihei and Wailea which is very urban, dry and hot. Upcountry is slightly cooler at night, often with light rain (November visit) so we didn’t miss having AC. Lovely outdoor shower was a nice surprise, and lush landscaping. I have given only 4 stars because the neighborhood rooster woke me up every morning (which is charming at 8am but not at 5am). Would definitely stay again.
