This unique and romantic two story, one bedroom house is nestled in a mango tree. The house is an A-frame structure with high ceilings and skylights making it bright and airy. It is located less than a mile from the bohemian town of Paia and all North Shore beaches. The closest beach access is Kuau Beach, Kuau point, three blocks, and Hookipa Beach less than a mile.
The second floor bedroom has a queen size bed with French doors that open up to the private lanai and a window AC unit.The main floor has a living area with a full size futon/couch, a full kitchen and a marble tile bathroom with a jetted tub and shower combination. You can see just a small sliver of ocean from the second floor lanai, but we do not call it an ocean view. There is a patio just outside the house, with an outdoor grill, outdoor shower to remove the sand from your day at the beach and your own private parking area.
If you have a larger group, our Green Turtle House is on the same property and can be rented as a two bedroom house. Please see listing: VRBO #720946
We are a certified vacation rental permit #2017/0001.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Great location, easy to get to anywhere on the island! Feels secluded but you can walk to the closest public beach within 6 minutes! We had an amazing stay at the cute Gingerbread House in Paia Town! ❤️

Very nice place in a convenient location away from the touristy side. We stayed in February for a little over a week and loved it. Thank you.

Very cute little place, really nice for the two of us to get away. The ocean breezes made it so nice to sit outside, and the indoors was cute and cozy. It was the perfect base to explore Paia, or walk 10 minutes the other way to watch the windsurfers.

My husband and I enjoyed staying at Poni's property. The house was super cute and Poni was a wonderful hostess. You are close to Paia town, with lots of places to eat and shopping - and it is only about a 30 minute drive to Kihei/Wailea if you want to head over there.

Our family of three really enjoyed our quiet stay at the Gingerbread house. We're not resort types and we love the Paia area, so this place was right up our alley. The host communicated well on all fronts and now that we're home I really miss hearing the waves crash on the beach and send me to sleep each night! Here's my summary:
The "goods" -
*clean
*safe
*comfortable
*charming
*quiet neighborhood
*great hosts
*awesome location for nearby explorations
*good outdoor spaces (ocean views in just the right places)
*BBQ was great
*loved doing yoga each morning on the deck
The "could be improved" -
*windows/screens/AC made air circulation an art
*bathroom is outdated (but our daughter loved the tub) and could be really amazing given the space
*lighting upstairs is awkward/interesting 😜
*not the most well appointed (good steak knives go a long way)
The "can't be helped" -
*Family walks from this location just aren't safe. An adult couple could walk to nearby beaches using defensive walking skills, but we weren't about to do it as a family of three...which makes cocktail hour something we needed to be more aware of.
The rate we paid was pretty high compared nearby rentals, they just weren't available at the time we made the reservation. A bag of local coffee and a small bowl of local fruit would go a long way considering this. We would rent the Gingerbread House again, but probably not at this rate.

This property is unique and quite private for the residential location. The lanai is DREAMY! Well equipped kitchen. Needs some attention to detail such as lightbulb replacements and window repair/replacement. Also the gutter above lanai doors needs replacing. Nice guidebook/recommendations left by owner. Also needs a bit of updating. I would give it 5 stars but fir these little details. Also, dangerous road entrance. A mirror would help. We turned right to go left. (Turn around at Ku'au Store or condos) Overall, fantastic property. Convenient to most of the Island as day trips. I would recommend. 😊

The Gingerbread House was a great location very near Paia town for our family trip. The upstairs bedroom was great with direct outdoor lanai access. Quite relaxing to hear the nearby ocean waves. Downstairs the futon worked well for the kids, but would be a bit tighter with larger children. The kitchen and bath weren't "new" but were completely comfortable and functional. The lanai even felt fairly private, given the nearby Green Turtle rental and neighbors. The location gives quick access to Paia (walking distance if you're so inclined), several nearby beaches, and the perfect place to begin the Road to Hana. Overall, we had a great 3 days in the Gingerbread House and would recommend for a home base on the Paia side of the island. Mahalo!

Close enough to town to walk, close to Mama's and things were as advertised.
