Attention, the State of Hawaii is considering an increase of Transient Accommodation Taxes of 0.75% for all 2026 reservations. Confirmed reservations will see an invoice adjustment when the new tax law is signed by the Governor.

Ice-cold Mistubishi Split A/C units added 5/17. New entry door added 4/17.

This listing is for the upstairs Bay View unit. The upstairs unit is the primary rental and has the ocean view and the highest level of finish. A new added deck facing the ocean is the perfect place to watch the sunset every evcening. The upstairs has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The upstairs unit is accessed by an exterior stairway.

Highly desirable Paia location. Half lot back from the ocean. Tucked away yet very near town center.

Maui County vacation rental operating permit: STPH 2013/0026.

Paia Bay Suites is a two-story cottage built in 1987 and renovated in 2013. It is comprised of two separate suites, but only the upstairs is rented out as a vacation rental.

Parking is ample, off-street and fenced.

There is an outdoor shower for washing off sand from the beach, etc.

More details:

Paia Bay Suites is a new vacation rental offering in one of Paia’s most desirable locations. It sits on Loio Place, a side street which is oceanside of the highway yet is just a short stroll from the heart of Paia Town. It’s a great location for guests wanting to be close to Paia Town and the ocean.

Paia Town is an eclectic town with a mix of locals, surfers, New Agers, evangelical Christians, hippies, monied people, working folks, artists, snowbirds, Buddhists, and more. It was a rough plantation town that is now transitioning into Maui’s hippest beach town destination.

The property consists of a two-story cottage on a large fenced lot close to the ocean of Paia Bay (it is not oceanfront).

(Beware of unlicensed vacation rentals. Maui County is preparing enforcement operations against unlicensed operators which may include closures with limited warning to travelers. Paia Bay Suites is fully licensed and your booking with us is secure.)

We absolutely loved our third stay (and the first two, as well) at Paia Bay Suites! It is a sweet oasis of peace, from which to watch the crashing waves & soaring birds & butterflies. The views, comfort, walkability, and lovely special touches (flowers, filtered water in the fridge, etc) made it the perfect place for us. Thank you for creating this delightful home away from home!

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2020
Thank you so much for choosing Paia Bay Suites and for your kind review! :). Wild chickens are becoming a growing concern everywhere on Maui. Some live in the pasture across the street from the Suites. It appears to have something to do with a down cycle in the mongoose population. The mongooses will keep the wild chickens under control. Happily, the mongoose population seems to be making a comeback of late. However, some roosters have escaped their attention. When these wild roosters and chickens make the mistake of coming too close to the Suites, they make for good soup stock. Ahhh, the joys of living in authentic Hawaii. :)

What a beautiful cottage, beautifully situated! On one side, rural sunrises over the fields, on the other, ocean waves and distant mountains. And a short walk to the fun bustle of Pa’ia. Clean and fresh inside, and the flowers on the table were a thoughtful and gorgeous touch. Thank you for providing such a lovely spot for a refreshing vacation!

Cozy Stay in Paia

This was my 7th trip back to Maui, and my husband many more than that. This was the smallest rental we’ve had, but by far our most favorite! It is charming, cozy, has the perfect location for walking into town, and a killer view! We felt like we had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The property manager was also very helpful and was very prompt with any communication. We usually come to Maui every year, and we hope to return to this little gem. Thank you!

Location is Incredible!!!

We rented a car, but I wish we had use Uber. Everything we enjoy is walkable. Downtown is full of Boutiques, Groceries and Coffee, plus lots of dining places. Breaches are walking distance. The ambience of living in the trees, with the filtered lighting is special. We didn't get rain, but we've been there in the rain, and it is magical. Short walk to the end of the Bay for spectacular Sunsets.

A little piece of Paradise

My Wife and I loved our stay and our so happy we chose it. The apartment had everything we needed and was so convenient for walking in to town for food/drinks or shopping. Our favourite place to eat was Paia Bay Coffee lovely food and different entertainment daily, Saturday Jazz brunch probably our favourite 11-13. We enjoyed sitting on the Lanai watching the cute little birds and bought some extras seed as they went through it so quickly. You can see the Ocean and the surf breaking through the trees and the mountains. Paia is a cute town and a great base to explore Maui. Already planning our return we loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Margit and Terry Tolman

Host profile image
The property is owned by brother and sister Jake and Ilana Waxman. Jake and Ilana were both born and raised here on Maui and grew up on Maui's North Shore.

Why they chose this property

The property was purchased as vacant land in 1977 by Jake and Ilana's late father, Maui surfer and attorney Jonathan Waxman. Jonathan bought the lot because of its great location being so close to the shore yet an easy stroll to Paia Town. He built the house in 1987.

What makes this property unique

Paia Bay Suites is situated on Loio Place, one of the very few roads in Paia Town that are ocean side of the main road (Hana Hwy). The Paia Bay Suites are on an 8,000 square foot fenced lot which provides plenty of off street fenced parking and a very large yard.

The Paia Bay Suites are in a great location that is easy walking distance to the beaches of Paia and just a short stroll from Paia Town's shopping and dining.

Yet the property is tucked away from the bustle of Paia Town and has a large, green yard sheltered by shade and shower trees. It's a great place to come back to after a day of being in the ocean or exploring Maui. You can take a shower to wash off the salt and then walk to Paia Town for dinner and stroll home to watch the stars and the ocean from the deck.

Please note that Paia Bay Suites is NOT oceanfront. It is separated from the Paia Bay shoreline by a 6' wall. This is a benefit that is obvious to locals and becomes more apparent the more time one spends in Paia as it keeps the property secluded from the busy Paia Bay beach scene. Our guests do what almost all the Paia locals do anyway: stroll over to the beach.
