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.

We had a short 3-day stay on Maui to visit the 2 sites of Haleakala. The house is perfectly located for going up to the summit and driving around to Hana Kipahulu. we ate all 3 dinners in Paia - the Paia Fish Market and Tobi's Poke and Shave Ice. So convenient and delicious! This was our first time on the islands in October and it was surprisingly warm for us. Glad to have fans in the house and it was still toasty. John, the owner, was really helpful in sorting out details and Jobe who was on site was really helpful, too.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was off the beaten path, but in a good way. Quiet, peaceful, but close to Paia and the road to Hana. Very clean, updated nicely. John the host was great! Helped us out by answering questions and getting supplies we needed. Plenty of space for all of us.

We loved our stay in this quiet and peaceful area of Maui. John was a wonderful host and our kids loved seeing bananas growing. John even let our son harvest a bunch that we enjoyed with breakfast the next morning. We slept with our windows open each night and the house was always comfortable. Our family (3 kids and two adults) spent three nights here and loved it!

This place is really great and well appointed and on a beautiful spot in the island. We found John to be really friendly, generous and helpful and we loved the tranquil space and great living area for the kids. We felt the place was really private but he was always available if we needed anything or had a question. Hoping to return again soon!

We love the North Shore of Maui and John’s property is ideal in every way! The home is very charming and comfortable with great views of the ocean and surrounding area. We found it to be very peaceful and relaxing. John is most helpful and the greatest host, we will definitely be back again! Mahalo John! Dillon & Jake

We rented this property for my daughter, her husband and three kids (two teens and an infant). John was excellent to deal with in all aspects. The property is beautiful & the home is spacious & VERY WELL appointed. If you'd like to be in a quiet neighborhood - yet a short drive to beaches and stores, this rental in Haiku is for you.

This 3-bedroom, one-great room with two full baths perfectly accommodated our party of three college roommates, who graduated many decades ago, along with visiting relatives from Maui. The location gives ready access to central and eastern Maui. John, the host, is enthusiastic about welcoming his guests and responding to every question. We will return!

This was a very last minute booking and John went out of his way to get me into a bed for the night. I was welcomed with open arms and slept better than I've slept all year in the beautifully hand crafted pole house, after expecting much more rustic lodging. It made my first night in Maui as a single traveler a relaxing and magical experience. Thank you so much for the above and beyond hospitality, the conversation, and connections to people I hope to see again in future visits.

John was an amazing host - he provided detailed information about the property beforehand and was friendly and available for anything we needed during our stay. The location is away from the resort zone and that’s what we wanted! It is still a very short drive to any location you may want to access on the west or south coasts, but our primary goals were being near Haleakala NP and well on the way to Hana so it worked out perfectly for us. The town of Paia is cute for shopping and the surrounding communities give you a real sense of Maui culture. The water was great - we used the provided filters but out of the tap it tasted fine to me. Ho’okipa beach nearby is a must-visit in the afternoon if you want to see turtles. Definitely would stay here again.

John's place is one of the best properties I have ever experienced. It has great location, only few miles away from paia town with multiple choices for local food & drink. It's close to Hana highway, so if you're planning to take "Road to Hana", his place would save you plenty of time for a presumably exhausting whole day driving. The property is clean, organized and well designed. It has an ocean view from both living room, master bedroom and balcony. Most importantly, the owner (John) is a great person. He's so friendly and responsive. We arrived at the property at late night due to unexpected long line at car rental. John waited for us at the property in person to ensure a smooth check-in. He also invited us for a tour through his entire plantation which includes multiple fantastic properties suitable for varied group size. I absolutely look forward to coming back when traveling to Maui next time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! John was very accommodating and welcoming. He brought in an extra mattress (so my son didn't have to share a bed with his sister); he also brought us coffee, oatmeal, bananas, etc when our arrival was too late to pick up breakfast supplies. No extra charge for either of these kind gestures. The house itself was clean and well appointed; we had everything we needed. Location was great. Maui is not huge, and getting around was quite easy. We visited most regions of the island during our stay. If I had 1 recommendation - a couple of travel mugs (even just cheap plastic ones) would have been an excellent addition to the kitchen supplies. With so many places to explore, we often got an early start, and a coffee-to-go would have made the great stay even better. Thank you again, John for being so welcoming and ensuring that our stay was wonderful.

We booked this property based on other reviews and the cost. When we showed up we actually felt the pictures undersold the listing as the property and view is gorgeous. Our group came to ride bikes on the island so being close to the beach was not top of our list. Being in a quiet area with space to spread out and access to the best cycling were our priorities and this place was perfect. Per the other reviews not having A/C was not an issue as the location on the hill does provide a great breeze. Actually found ourselves wearing jackets in the morning. John is wonderful and will bend over backwards to make your stay special. He provided us with a mid stay cleaning (covered by him) and introduced us to some local chefs who prepared a meal at the house for us. Super special. This property is charming, it’s not generic resort style, has the local flare (it’s not perfect and has the natural elements of being in nature in Hawaii like some bugs, animals in the neighborhood). We loved it and felt right at home. The value of this property is such a find in Maui!

We booked this listing as well as the vehicle he made available with the listing. The first night my son was sleeping in the living room and someone entered the property and walked by where he was sleeping on a mattress on the floor. He thought it was one of us or that he was dreaming. So we brushed it off. Then several of the nights that we came home to the property after being gone all day, all the lights were on in the house and the sliding back doors we open. We specifically closed all doors before leaving for the day, and we turned lights off. The night prior to our leaving the host started making threats about our having family visiting us at the house and staying with us and that he would charge us for 2 additional people for 7 nights. We were starting to worry about our safety. We felt like there were cameras in the home and we were being watched or that he had in fact been entering the house while we were sleeping and while we left the house during the day. We barricaded doors to prevent opening from the outside while we slept, since we were leaving in the morning. During our stay, a new tshirt we had bought also went missing. We looked everywhere for it. When we contacted the host about returning his vehicle per our arrangement at the airport, he wanted to meet us at the house to show us where to put the key. When I told him that wouldn't work for us he started threatening me. He then stopped by the house where and began threatening the other paying guests there. Said if we left a bad review, he would hunt us down and make our life ‘hell’. We asked him about how he knew other guests were here as well as the trespassing while we were sleeping and gone during the day. He aboided the topic and began to threaten about if we didn’t pay him additional money he would get us fired from our jobs back home and banned from VRBO for life. He also stated that he has done this before to a guest who was a lawyer that didn’t pay extra fees. He said he got him fired from his job and banned from vrbo for life for making a bad review. He was making up stories about me to our other guests and trying to get them to pay the extra money as well. That lasted for an hour. After he finally left the property, he then texted me saying he talked with them and was turning us into VRBO. He then called the other guest after they left for the next hour harassing them and making threats. We have also filed a police report.

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.

Nous avons tous adoré nos quelques jours à la bamboo house ! La maison est très confortable comme le répète mon ado depuis qu’on a quitté et à notre goût, elle est parfaitement située. Nous voulions faire la route d’Hana sans être trop loin et profiter des plages du Nord en restant loin des lieux “trop” touristiques. John nous a guidé vers une magnifique plage, puis a pris le temps de montrer aux enfants comment ouvrir une noix de coco et de nous faire de la crème de coco pour notre café du lendemain. La première nuit, encore sur le décalage horaire, nous avons regardé les étoiles du balcon, c’était parfait et magnifique. Ce serait un plaisir d’avoir la chance d’y retourner un jour !

A beautiful location with nice view of the ocean. Very quiet & nice & cool at night. Nice open & spacious kitchen/ great room with access to washer & dryer. John was most gracious & cordial, bringing us a Christmas tree with lights & a Berkey water filter. Super comfortable & spacious place with a farm like feel. Highly recommended.

We comfortably fit a family of 5 in this lovely home right near the start of the road to Hana. The house had all the things we needed to be comfortable (including some beach items that proved useful), and John was very kind. He met us when we arrived to show us around the house, and checked in a couple of other times during the stay to ensure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a place away from the tourist areas this house is a great choice.
