About this property

Quaint COTTAGE ~ Walk To Coffee shop, nearby Road to Hana & Haleakala

Our home is on the North shore, 1 hour from fire area, on the opposite side of the island. We were not effected by the fires and continue to host guests in our home. All of beautiful Maui is open to visitors to explore except the west side of Maui. We invite you to stay in our quaint and nicely decorated Haiku Surf Cottage. IMPORTANT!!! Beware of scammers advertising our home on CL. Only available to rent from Amy - the real owner.

Private and quiet cottage in a wonderful location for exploring the North Shore, Road to Hana and Haleakala. Perfect for couples celebrating their honeymoon or anniversary!

IDEAL GUESTS: returning Maui visitors that want to experience something different than the resort sides of Maui. Or first time guests that want to experience Maui like a local resident away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. We recommend first time guests split their time between 2 sides of the island to have the full island experience. Many guests stay with us to explore the North shore, Hana and Haleakala as we are in the ideal location to these beautiful wonders of maui.

GETTING TO KNOW THE NORTH SHORE OF MAUI:
We like to let guests know that we are located on the non-touristy side of the island. All sides of maui are quite different and each season is different on each side of the island as well. Our north shore is great for adventurous guests looking for a quiet getaway in a local residence, while exploring the surrounding towns and north shore of maui. Our surrounding small towns are great for shopping and getting lunch or early dinner as shops close by 5pm and restaurants by 8:30-9pm. Unfortunately we don't have much night life to offer on our side of the island since mostly locals reside here. Our beaches on the north shore are known for surf waves and windsurfing- great for experienced surfers/windsurfers, people watching or sunbathing however many are not usually calm for swimming or snorkeling October thru May. For beginner surfers and all snorkelers we recommend a day trip to the west or south shores where you can rent surf boards/ snorkeling gear, get a lesson and the beaches have sandy bottoms where it is ideal for these activities.

The North shore is located on the edge of the rainforest which makes our area beautifully green and lush this is because we get enough natural rain year round to keep everything green without watering systems. We do have seasons on island and during winter months you can expect more rain on the north shore. We also get natural tradewinds year round that usually keeps our north shore 5-10 degrees cooler than the tourist sides of the island and cools down our evening temps, which is a blessing. Our warmest months are usually June through October, where we can get the warmer temps, high of 80-90 degrees F and evenings 70-75 degrees F. In the winter months we usually do not get colder temps than 65 degrees F rarely, therefore our north shore homes were not built with air conditioning or heating systems, just ceiling fans and windows to self regulate our homes inside temperature.

It is good to remember though that Maui is a tropical island, so our temperatures are humid and an average high of 75-85 degrees F. When you first arrive on island our temperatures can feel warmer than what you are used to at home until you get acclimated to the weather. So we like to mention if you live in air conditioning at your house and like your home on the cooler side then our place may not be a good fit for you.

Your stay is important to us and we want to make sure your vacation expectations are met while on island. If you are looking to experience what it is like to live in traditional home in a local Maui neighborhood and explore the island, we are in a great location to do that. However if being close to calm beaches, night life and where more action is, we actually recommend guests stay in Kaanapali or Kihei on the south and west shores of maui. These areas are in the best locations on island for weather and the Maui experience you have seen in magazines and movies. In these areas you are close to everything and you can just do a day trip to the north shore to check it out. We give you this information as we want you to have the best visit to the islands!
SECURITY CAMERAS: We have security Ring cameras on the property to monitor each front door, the driveway entrance and back gate to our property. We use these to monitor our property when it is vacant, verify contactless checkin/checkout and during late night hours if needed 11pm-5am. We respect our guests and have camera notifications turned off during your stay except during late night hours or in an emergency. The 4 cameras on property are located in visible places that are outside in the front yards facing directions that would not compromise privacy during your stay. See our house handbook during your stay for more information.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Travel is a choice. Our cancellation policy remains valid and moderate. If you should have to cancel, we refer you look at our cancelation policy for your reservation. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL GUESTS PURCHASE A THIRD-PARTY TRAVEL INSURANCE, one that lets you cancel for any reason for your vacation! It will cover your vacation for all other reasons not listed above that may cause you to cancel your stay.

Lovely Hawaiian cottage
We loved this cottage. The ability to walk to the coffee shop and market; the quiet away from the hustle bustle of the tourist areas; convenience to Hana road and Paia. We drove the entire island on our 4 day stay and in the end we were super pleased with our choice

Beautiful Gem in Maui!
This place is adorable and perfectly located! This was my cousin and my first time in Maui so we rolled the dice in terms of location and it worked out!! Coffee shop and market right down the street, so close to the beach/lookouts, easy drive to the airport, etc. The place itself is so sweetly decorated and we had everything there for cooking which we ended up doing a couple of nights. The process was so easy with our wonderful hosts! I highly recommend this place!
