Enjoy the clear skies; sun, rainbows and showers by day, stars, moon and milky way by night.
We’re perfectly located near the start of "The Road to Hana" for you to explore beautiful Maui, and also within an easy drive of Haleakala Crater for another great day trip, sunrise or sunset. A great location for hiking, waterfalls, beaches, shopping and restaurants in Haiku, Pa'ia and Makawao and so much more....

Here are some reviews from our guests:
"We have absolutely loved our time here! Thank you so much for sharing the cottage with us! We are already wanting to come back for another visit." (K & B, MN, USA)
"It is a magical little place... your work on the cottage to make it so wonderful is to be applauded. Everything is just top notch." (J & K, WA, USA)
"We prefer the quiet beauty of the countryside. That is what the Oswald's place offered to us. A place to listen to the birds, watch the sunset, and just be." J & C, AZ, USA
“Everything is wonderful here at the Cottage. We’ve been out every day except for yesterday when we had a delightful time staying in and relaxing. We became great friends with your cottage and wrote to our family and friends at home about it and you! Thanks for making our stay SO perfect.” J & S, CA, USA
Location: Palm Cottage is a peaceful, rural location to get away from crowds and enjoy nearby waterfalls, hiking and communing with nature, but still close to shops and restaurants. We're about 10 minutes to the nearest beaches (Hookipa, Baldwin, Sprecklesville), great restaurants and 20 minutes from Costco, Walmart and Target in Kahului. If you prefer the South/Central beaches of Kihei they are just a short 30 minute drive away. Jaws Country Store is just 2-minutes from Palm Cottage that also serves to-go food and coffee/smoothies.
Nearby things to do: We’re located near the beginning of “The Road to Hana” and so there’s plenty to do right here. It's a beautiful tropical location, with lush greenery and flowers and impressive waterfalls close by. Twin falls is a short distance away, also Na ili ili-haele Stream & Waterfall and Waikamoi Nature Trailhead. The Gardens in Haiku are nearby and The Garden of Eden Arboretum is a short drive away. There’s great stores and galleries in Paia and Makawao (approx 6 miles each) or visit Haleakala Crater for that once in a lifetime experience.
Whatever you choose to do throughout the day, you can relax on your private lanai (deck) for a peaceful evening to end your day in total privacy.

Better than the pictures! My husband and 8-year old really enjoyed our stay. Everything, including check-in and communication, was smooth. And reading on the lanai with a cup of coffee was a highlight of my trip. Wish they had a cottage on the other islands.
Our stay on Maui was lovely at this home. Words don’t quite do it justice, but my dad said it was the best night of sleep he’s ever had. The hosts were so kind & made sure we were well taken care of with snacks & coffee. The amenities were great too, having a washer & dryer was so helpful, & we even found a cooler to use, which made packing lunch perfect for our day trip to the National Park. It’s not far from shopping, the beach, or the Road to Hana. I would truly give this place 10 stars if I could!
We loved the privacy on north Maui. Coffee, treats, bottled water, and extras were there for us. Great communication with the owners from start to finish. Would stay there again!
Quiet, private and everything I had hoped for. It had everything I needed and then some. Wonderful host. By no fault of their own, the internet was down and he communicated frequently about updates from the internet provider. I was lucky enough fo have a friendly visitor that, Robert tells me, is good luck!The only downside to this cottage, is that I had to leave! Highly recommend and would definitely come back.
A nice, quiet place to stay that had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out was easy. Enjoyed the small towns around the area, such as Paia and Makawao. Jaws just down the hill was a great place for coffee, various food, and wood fired pizza.

Property was in the perfect location for us to see so many beautiful places.
We really enjoyed are stay here. It's very easy to find and very clean. We also appreciated the breakfast munchies. The location is walkable to a great breakfast spot (even lunch or dinner) and is very quiet. We really enjoyed just having morning coffee/tea with the sounds of the birds around the property.
Highly recommend! Very clean, perfect quiet location, and the snacks/coffee the hosts provided when we arrived were perfect after a long day of travel.
Palm Cottage is an absolute gem! It’s wonderfully quiet and peaceful, tucked away from all the rush and busyness of the big resort areas, yet still close to everything Maui has to offer. The location makes it easy to enjoy the island’s amazing beaches, activities, and sights, while giving you the perfect retreat to relax and recharge at the end of the day. If you’re looking for comfort, serenity, and a spot that feels like your own private hideaway but with quick access to all the best of Maui, this is the place. Highly recommend!
All the 5 star reviews got it right! Wonderfully peaceful and the ideal location to explore the North Shoe, Paia, road to Hana etc. Just the re-charge we were hoping to get when we booked our stay. Quiet cottage surrounded by flora, swaying palms, etc. Loved our time, when we return to Maui we hope the Oswald’s are still renting, fantastic hosts!
This was the perfect location to experience the beauty of Maui and kick off our drive on the road to Hana. The place is cozy and somewhat secluded. It was as described/pictured. Definitely will stay here again!
Palm Cottage is perfect for an adult couple who value privacy and beautiful surroundings. It’s a country place, but not remote; local towns, the beach and the Haleakala summit are all reasonably close and gorgeous. Hosts have it well stocked and communicate effectively but not intrusively. Great stay!
Our second stay at Tranquil Palms. We like it for its privacy, strategic location, quality of the rental home, it’s park like setting and responsive host. An excellent property overall.
A cottage divineIn a jungle of greenSolace to all soulswho venture therein! We had a fabulous stay, easy driving to beaches, hiking. Spotless and wonderful, helpful owners. Brenda and Glen
This house provided the perfect location for driving the road to Hana and making the trip to the top of Haleakala. We enjoyed pizza at Jaws (walkable), breakfast from Baked on Maui (in Haiku),Aloha 'Aina BBQ (food truck nearby), and the breakfast treats and snacks provided by the host. It was an easy drive from the airport too.

Tranquil Palms B&B Maui Permit BBPH2018/0002
Robert and Stephanie Oswald: Robert is originally from Ohio and Stephanie from England. We met in 1998 on a Caribbean cruise under a total solar eclipse, married in 2001 and relocated to Arizona for 16 years. Many vacations to Maui made it feel like home, and in 2014 we began what would be the 3-year search for our little piece of paradise.
In the Aloha Spirit, we welcome you to share and experience our lovely Tranquil Palms here in Haiku, Maui.
Why they chose this property
Fussy in general and real estate brokers ourselves, it required three years and many house-hunting vacations for us to find this property - that we turned into Tranquil Palms. Such perfect blend of climate (not too hot, not too wet), a lovely coastal ocean view looking west to breathtaking sunsets behind the mountains of Molokai-Isle, an orchard-farm with copious fresh fruit and plenty of room for us and our vacationing Guests. What a great find indeed! Peaceful location, far from the traffic and crowds. Yet close to main roads so it's easy to get around this lovely Isle of Maui.
What makes this property unique
The ocean views, the stunning scenery, the lush tropical foliage, the peace and quiet and the tranquil setting. Out in the country, yet just off Hana Highway for easy access to Kahului and Upcountry Maui. Tranquil Palms is a very special place and we're looking forward to sharing it with you, our valued Guest.
