We really enjoyed our time here. The location is VERY convenient to Haleakala, the road to Hana and Ho’okipa Beach for the sea turtles and just hanging out. A lot of deck space with great common space and 3 good size bedrooms. Open the windows at night for the island breeze. John is a very attentive and helpful host. If you need it, he makes it happen (thanks for the pack and play for our grandson. Nice neighborhood with good walking.

Great stay! The property was perfect for our family, and John was very accommodating, friendly, and helpful throughout the visit. Haiku is a peaceful and relaxing place to recharge, and is also a nice jumping off point for so much of what Maui has to offer.

John, thank you so much for your hospitality. We enjoyed our stay; it was the perfect location for visiting family. We especially appreciated your willingness to let us have some banana stumps/leaves for the imu. Our son had been looking forward to making kalua pig in an imu and you provided the final ingredient, making it all come together. We left you a bag in the freezer and will never forget your hospitality!

This property is in a very relaxing, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood. Great for going for strolls with lots of birds and flowers.to add to the enjoyment. Our host, John, went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and nicely furnished with a large open floor plan for the living and kitchen area. We ate all our meals in around a large family table. I enjoyed swimming at Baldwin Beach State Park and the kids liked windsurfing at Kanaha and Ho'okipa. Can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else on Maui.

We stayed for 4 days and we really enjoyed our stay. John was very patient and helpful. He gave great advice and stories of the island. The property is beautiful with a huge backyard area. Banana trees.we stayed in the Bamboo house there were 2 patios and one porch. Plenty of opportunity to enjoy the views. Close to baby beach and the lookout. Not far from paia fish marketplace. Cute little lizards outside

We loved it. Stayed for 10 days, and all four of us were thrilled with the property, amenities, the management, and the communication. A no-brainer when we come back to Maui.We listened to the birds over coffee in the morning, and kicked back at the place almost every night of our stay. Close to surfing, hikes, waterfalls - you name it...I'm not sure there is much more to say other than we loved it here and mentioned many times how great a setup it was for a group of old friends.

The house is in a nice neighborhood and very convenient to town. 10-15 minutes gets you to Paia, North Shore beaches, Twin Falls, and even Makawao. It was plenty of living space for a family of 6. We were glad to be able to invite my brother's family over as guests as well. John is maintaining this property while living in a separate house on the lot. We were surprised to see him and other guests regularly throughout our stay. We didn't feel comfortable exploring the yard or even enjoying the back porch very often since he was working and cars were parking in the backyard. The house was clean and comfortable. It lacked basics like hand soap in the bathrooms, and salt and pepper, and cooking oil in the kitchen. John generously provided coffee beans, but it would've gone a long way to have had all of the necessities at the start of our trip. The washer and dryer was outside of the unit and shared with other guests. There were two cats that lived by the laundry area and stayed on the porch. If you had an allergy to cats, you would be uncomfortable spending time here. The ceiling fan in the large bedroom did not work. When we let John know, he came right away to replace the fan. It worked for the remainder of the trip with no problem. It would be a great benefit to guests to leave a notebook with instructions about the property instead of meeting guests at check in. We were exhausted and it felt like a lot to have to get to know someone right as we arrived. Overall, nice place.

The owner John was very helpful with check-in and even offered to give us a lift into town. There was fresh fruit waiting for us in the morning, straight from his garden. Overall we had an awesome experience staying on the property. It was a nice rest & change of pace from the hustle of some of the more standard resorts on Maui.
