Far from the crowds and Condos... Far from the noise and tourist traps... There is the old Hawaii of HANA, a small community overlooking beautiful Hana Bay on the windward east end of Maui. Hana is cooled by the trade winds that blow across the Pacific and nourish us with evening showers that make this part of Maui lush and tropical.

As you travel the magical 'road to Hana' you leave the real world behind and slowly enter the land of old Hawaii, with waterfalls, majestic coastal views and jungle rain forests. By the time you arrive in Hana you will sense a slight change. You will feel a slower pace, more peaceful and quiet.

As you follow the private drive through the tropical flower garden to our secluded Tradewinds Cottage, you will discover the Hawaii that you came to see.

Our two bedroom, one bath cottage has just been beautifully remodeled. It features a full kitchen with granite countertops, a gas range, microwave and coffee maker. The cottage has a queen size bed and two twin beds. It has satellite TV, DVD player, plus wireless internet access.

This vacation rental is fully permitted. Permit #STHA 2018/0001, SUP2 2012/0034

**NOTE: There is no longer a hot tub at this cottage. You may see the hot tub mentioned in reviews but it was removed during the recent remodel.

Hana's Tradewind Cottage Reviews

We loved staying at this cottage! It is beautiful and we felt like the rest of the world was miles away. Kitchen was nicely equipped, host communication was excellent and after a long drive on the road to Hana, this was just what we needed. Dont be concerned about no air conditioner.I have health issues and the fans provides cooled the cottage nicely, so much so that I needed to grab the blanket from the closet in the middle of the night. We stayed two nights and when we return to Maui, will book again. Highly recommend!

Feels like another world. Getting to the Hana area isn’t an easy drive but it’s worth it. The house is remodeled and has pretty much everything. Note there isn’t a washing/dryer and there’s no laundromat in town so plan accordingly. Also you won’t have cell reception for much of the drive so make sure to download your checkin information ahead of time. I didn’t remember this part so we drove a bit further until we had a signal and got the info. Easy checkin once I had my info. There is internet which works pretty well but not for streaming. They have satellite TV though so you can watch Netflix/etc if you want. We did watch some TV and it worked reasonably well… some buffering but no big deal. Note also there’s no air conditioning but we didn’t feel like we needed it as we kept the windows open and the screens are in good condition. We’d stay again. The Hana area is a special place. Thanks!

The location is honestly surreal. Some of the most stunning trees you’ll see as long as you live right in your backyard. It’s very impressive that the host managed to set up high speed wifi co side ring the area. Host was very chill and easy to rent from. Can’t go wrong

Nice, up to date cottage. Very quiet and relaxing yet close to Hana

Cute, updated cottage amongst the Tropicals. The only drawback for us was there was no air conditioning, but it was still a very enjoyable stay.

Hana is an amazing place. This residence met our needs and was in a beautiful tropical forest. It was a little warm but we cooled it down with the fans.

This property was outstanding! Very modern in a beautiful setting! I wish we could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend staying here. It was nice to be away from the crowds and this was a perfect place to get away from it all. Next time we visit Maui I will stay here again, only longer.

We loved the experience of staying in the cottage. No A/C, just open windows which allowed us to wake up to the sounds of the birds, rain and the trees rustling. Not to mention the wonderful smells of the early morning. We would love to stay here again!

We had a great, 3-night stay at this property. The property is very near the airport, about a 10-min drive from Hana and 5 minute drive from Waiʻānapanapa State Park. The house is in great shape and has been recently remodeled. There is a beautiful, large deck that is completely surrounded by tropical plants and huge trees. The deck is covered and provides a great place to eat even in the rain. The lack of air conditioning did make for hot nights, but the owners provide a number of fans to keep the air moving. Make sure and bring plenty of your own cooking supplies if you intend to cook. The house has ample pots and pans, but few standard cooking supplies (e.g. salt, pepper, oil, etc.). Thanks for a great stay - we really enjoyed the place!

We enjoyed our stay! The surrounding area is beautiful and perfect for relaxing after busy Kihei. The space is simple, spacious and very comfortable. We felt at home. The only draw back was the lack of washer and dryer, but that proved to be less of a problem then we anticipated. We would definitely rebook!

We stayed here for 2 days while we explored Hana - I am so happy we found this place. It was hidden away in a tropical paradise - but easy to get out and explore Hana. We loved our evening walks and talking to the local farmers, buying fruit off of the stands, seeing the Hana Lava Caves (bring cash!), and hiking Oheo Gulch in the national park. This location was charming and had all of the perks of home. We loved our time here!

The Good: Secluded and very private. The Bad: No grill, no washer & dryer and the shower head is very low for anyone over 6 foot tall. The Ugly: No pizza pan, nor pizza cutter. :( Overall, not bad. We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties across the U.S., and for the price we have high expectations.

Such a great place for a short stay in Hāna! Everything was super clean and with the windows open, the home stayed cool enough to be comfortable.

I really wanted to do the road to Hana but knew with my 2 kids and mildly car sick spouse there and back in one day would be a nightmare. This place is so close to the black sand beach (2 mins). It was so clean, convenient and allowed us to really soak up Hana. I’m so glad we stayed!! The house was so easy, clean and met all of our needs! Thank you!

This is a great place to stay in Hana! It feels remote while still very close to everything in Hana. I loved waking up and having my coffee on the porch, surrounded by the lush jungle plants.

We stay four nights. Excellent location when staying in the Hana area. Rental had all the correct and needed items as listed in the property description. As with a lot of Hawaii properties that we've used the Wifi connection most of the time didn't work well. Either no connection or very slow at times. This was the only draw back.

Lovely cottage in Hana. You are surrounded by beautiful tropical plants, song birds in the morning, gentle rain. Close to Hana town and Waianapanapa State Park and the Pipi Wai trail in Haleakala State Park. Fresh fruit stands abound, food trucks and several great restaurants. We loved the setting, used to have family there, so it felt like home.

Check-in and communication were great. The property was comfortable — best shower ever! I slept better than I had for our whole vacation and maybe for months. We are people used to air conditioning. The hosts are exactly right that you don’t need it at this rental! We had a couple of visits from well-behaved pigs and mongooses, so that was charming too. A great visit in a great location — just minutes from the black sand beach.

If you want to feel like you've got a quiet hiding spot in the woods, this is a good spot. Lots of natural beauty around this unit. The unit is well maintained with a nicely remodeled bathroom and kitchen. You're going to have to deal with some bugs (I got stung by a scorpion or centipede just off the lanai), but you're in the woods so this is to be expected. On muggy nights for those of us who are spoiled by air conditioning, this might be a bit of an adjustment. But the unit is exactly as described and shown, and clearly well maintained. The owner is very friendly.

Had our second chance to visit Maui and this time we brought the kids. We thought we'd be a little more than adventurous and bring them to Hana.

From the booking process, to the check in process, to the start itself, all communication was quick and friendly. The cottage is adorable and just what we needed. Lots of amenities like beach towels and chairs, spices in the kitchen, toiletries in the bathroom. It was such a quiet location, with the only sounds being the birds in the trees. Loved the fresh lilikoi dropping off the trees! Thank you for a very enjoyable stay!
