This very affordable unit was perfect for our stay in the Pa’ia area! Clean, short drive to town, short walk to the secluded beach at the back of Mama’s Fish House. One note: while the bed was very comfortable, it seemed to be the size of a double, rather than a queen?
Awesome condo,with scuba gear, lounge chairs and ice chest. Great living area, kitchen, bathroom, shower and bed. Access to washer and dryer and garbage dumpster. Location was next to Mama's Fish House and North Beach.Quite, peaceful and great view off the balcony. Wonderful place, fantastic stay.

Loved our stay in Paia here! Great location, minutes away from Paia town and a few min walk to a secluded beach. The home is right before road to Hana and it was the best feeling to be able to unwind after that long day of driving :) we also made trips to other parts of the island, including Haleakala, Kihei, Lahaina etc in about an hours time.Host was great and flexible with check in which we greatly appreciated. Instructions and communication were easy. Would recommend staying here when you’re on Maui!

Mahalo Victoria for your detailed and good review.
Beautifully decorated condo. Great location to the quaint town of Paia. One mile from the iconic Ho'okipa Beach Park, which was amazing- Turtles, surfing and relaxation !
If you want to enjoy the road to Hana, the national park, and less crowded beaches then this stay in paia is right for you! I loved sitting on the balcony to read at sunrise. They had beach chairs and other beach accessories which was very convenient. An added bonus was the air conditioning in the bedroom!
Location! Location! Location! And then some. I loved the decor in this place. It was more rustic then tropical, warm and cozy with some unique touches. Perfect complement to the rainy weather I experienced. Will stay again, especially if the price remains affordable.

Andrea, thanks for taking time for a review. We think the location is fantastic too. I do hope Maui treats you to better weather next visit. We will keep our prices for you !
Aloha! We loved our stay! Don’t judge the building by it’s first glance. The unit is clean and well put together! The AC unit in the bedroom was amazing and cooled the room down so quickly!
You can see the sunrise from the front balcony and the back balcony has a beautiful beachy view. This is steps away from the beach and the famous Mama’s Fish House, minutes away from the shops of Paia, and right on The Road to Hana!

Alyssa, that’s exactly what we like about the apartment. You nailed it!
By the way, the building is going through a total renovation right now, so it’s appearance will improve tremendously.
The apartment was very clean, cute and comfortable. Walk to the beach (ask the owners to how to get there - it took us a few walks along a sketchy highway before we figured out the safe way). Apartment supplies beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chair and coolers. Expect to drive to restaurants and other sites. Would be even better with sharpened knives and some wash cloths available. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Well appointed condo in a great location.
The unit was in a great location for us. We love Paia town and it was a nice stop before heading to meetings in a nice resort.
The unit has been renovated nicely and is well equipped. The photos are accurate. The building is a little dated, but there is evidence that other units are getting fixed up and the grounds are reasonbly maintained.
The only comment is that the page on VRBO lacked some detail and the check in instructions didn’t include a unit number. Was able to figure it out by the photos, though.
All I’m all, a great spot for couples.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Jan-Feb 2023 Maui-West Paia VRBO stay.
Pros: Easy to find; well maintained; good amenities; responsive and thoughtful owner; assigned parking; beach extras included, i.e. chairs, cooler, snorkel gear; good kitchen and supplies; close to Paia and baby beach; walking distance to Mama's Fishhouse and Baldwin beach;
Cons: Sleeping hour traffic noise is significant (starts to increase at ~4am); Drive entry/exit can be hazardous as it's right on a fast traffic blind turn; limited hot water supply, i.e. shower (we're pretty fast so not a problem for us); Bed is small and soft (opinion); Bathroom is small but manageable for two; visitor parking availability was zero for the week; nearby Baldwin beach is nearly unusable, i.e. no facilities, extremely small and smaller with turtles onsite; Mama's Fish House - 6 months out on dinner reservations!;
Summary: We found ourselves driving west to Lahaina/Kaanapali. This place maybe an excellent location for a single/couple seeking to be in this area of the island. Bring your earplugs for sleeping, the constant cacophony of traffic tappers off to a trickle toward 1am and kicks into gear at 4am. J-brakes, performance and failing exhausts are the main orchestra members in this ensemble.
Overall this was a great addition to our trip of Maui. All in all everything was great. Downsides of this place to me were: the price, located along a busy road, and no elevator. The prior condo that we stayed at had an elevator which was much nicer with our luggage.
We live close by and will be available for repairs and any help that may be necessary.
