This was a neat place for us to stay; comfortable, clean, well supplied, close to what we enjoy about the north shore. At night, it was fun to hear nature sounds and the feel the breeze. We enjoyed our friendly hosts, which also made our time enjoyable.

Great Space!
We really enjoyed staying here. It is close to Hookipa Beach, Upcountry, Paia, hiking, and the Road to Hana. The place was clean and well stocked, and very comfortable. Reading on the patio, grilling, and feeling the breeze at night made our trip very relaxing, especially since we enjoy the North shore area. The owners were good, and made sure we were well taken care of. staying here made our trip very enjoyable!
Frank was an amazing host and we absolutely loved staying in his cozy studio! Even despite a rainy weekend, we enjoyed sitting on the covered patio and listening to the sounds of the rainforest. Because of the rain storm, some of our plans were cancelled and Frank was very accommodating and communicative with our change of plans. We loved all the thoughtful details of the space including snacks, wine, and beach items. We absolutely would come back to stay again!

All was good:)
It's a good location to explore road to hana and Haleakala national Park. Hosts are good.. kitchen was well stocked:) beware of the dip in road when entering waikina loop if you have low clearance vehicle( or better just take the longer part of the loop)
The Kahili was a relaxing oasis & a great base for visiting sights on the North Shore! Everything was top notch, from the peaceful lanai to the well-stocked kitchen & bathroom to the comfortable bed. We enjoyed visiting with Frank & appreciated the fresh fruit he shared with us from his land.
Everything was comfortable and the place had anything we could possibly need for our stay. The location is perfect for exploring North & East Maui, Upcountry and the road to Hana. Our hosts were lovely and we will definitely be back if we can get back to Maui someday!
Quiet lovely place in paradise. Host was wonderful.

1st trip to Maui
Excellent! Everything was over expectations! This was our 1st trip to any Hawaiian island and the stay here was better than imagined. This is where we will stay again when we return.
Our stay was super smooth. The place was fully stocked with everything we needed, including bottled water, snacks, and a bottle of wine. It was super clean and easy to get to. We stayed here because we had a wedding nearby so the location was convenient. Would stay again.
This location is amazing if you want peace, quiet, and privacy. The hosts, Frank and Ludy, are personable, warm, helpful, and kind. This is my favorite spot on Maui so far and I have stayed in several other places.At night, the forest frogs offer a symphony from the private patio. It’s magical.The place is clean and generously stocked with the essentials.Frank and Ludy are the best!I will definitely be back. Hopefully sooner than later!Thanks, Frank and Ludy, for the great experience!
Beautiful little house with everything you can possibly need during the stay. Frank is a great host and the check in was very easy. Will definitely stay again.
10/10 for cleanliness. Had all we needed and more. Frank was very kind and responsive.

Best cottage ever!
Frank was an outstanding host! The cottage had everything we needed and more. We were so surprised by all that he provided and appreciated his thoughtfulness! We will definitely be back again!!
This place was great and our favorite place to stay on our vacation to Maui. The location is right at the start of the Road to Hana, and it feels less crowded than the tourist centers of Lahaina and Kihei.
Frank (property owner), left fantastic recommendations for restaurants and activities in the VRBO. He also ensured it was fully stocked with snacks, beverages, and even items like snorkle gear and beach chairs!
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
I stayed here for 15 nights and had no issues whatsoever. From the generous hosting gifts, and the cozy bed, I had a terrific home away from home. This place has everything you need and is so conveniently located on the north side of Maui. Close to Paia and to Hookina beach. I love having home cooked meals and this kitchen has everything I needed to cook. I would stay here again and will recommend it to all my friends.

Perfect hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute hideaway. The suite was welcoming, incredibly well stocked, and everything we needed for our five days there. Frank was available if needed but we did not encounter any issues. Highly recommend if you are staying in the Haiku area or want to experience a different side of Maui.
This is a very cute well stocked cottage located on property with owners house. Owner is very friendly and communicative. Make sure you have a car to get to town or sights. Owner supplied coffee, treats, drinking water and left a bottle of wine.
We absolutely loved this studio! It was so spacious and private. Surrounded by fruit trees. It had everything we needed from shampoo and conditioner to ketchup and mustard! Loved sitting outside on the patio while we ate and listened to the rain. It had a washer and dryer which was convenient. We will definitely be booking here again!
This property is the best place we’ve stayed in recent years. It is in a quiet area with a stream running next to it for a peaceful sound. The furnishings are excellent and the host has set it up with a great selection of amenities and snacks. I’ve never stayed in a place with such care and useful kitchen utensils/cookware. This is an above 5 star property.
Amazing amazing a
mazing. Beautiful home great location on road to Hana. Hosts are amazing. The stock of snacks, coffee, fruit and breakfast food was unexpected and welcomed.
Bed was super comfy and lani with coffee in am listening to nature was so peachful.

Amazing Place to Stay
We just loved this studio. It was private and had a little patio area. Super clean and Frank is an awesome host! The studio is packed with snacks and water and toiletries and there was a cooler that we could use. Which was great while we went on and explored different parts of the island. It was close to a road that got you into town and on many adventures. We would definitely stay there again.
It is a wonderful studio house surrounded by greenery. Location is excellent for exploring the east side of Maui. We were amazed with all of the extra amenities upon check in. There was fresh fruit, bakery items, Keurig coffee
maker, stocked pantry and everything needed for the kitchen. Everything is new and clean. There is a nice outdoor covered patio with a grill. The hosts were very personable and helpful. We highly recommend The Kahili cottage. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect
The studio is clean and modern with all the amenities you might need. It’s peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by greenery yet the proximity to the highway makes it a great base for getting around and exploring Maui. We drove to Hana, Kihei, Lahaina, Haleakalā, ‘Iao Valley…
Frank was a perfect host. He left us treats, breakfast essentials, toiletries, all the things that made it feel like home from the moment we arrived.
He was very responsive to messages and both checking in and out were seamless.
I couldn’t recommend this place more!
Quiet and spacious guest house, next to a running brook. Felt tucked away despite being conveniently located off the Road to Hana. Twin Falls was 10 minutes away. Paia and Makawao were 10-15 minutes. The place itself is comfortable and spacious and was fully stocked, including beach chairs and snorkeling gear. Coffee on the lanai enjoying sounds of nature and star-filled skies at night were unexpected treats. This was our first trip to Maui and we found the location very convenient for exploring the area and Haleakala National Park. Frank, the host, was welcoming. We had a lovely stay and would stay again.
