ABOUT OUR PROPERTY
Our private and clean 600-sf studio nests in our quiet, peaceful land named Mana Aina, which means the power of the earth in the Hawaiian language. Mana Aina sits in a privileged spot in beautiful Haiku, enjoying the pure oxygen from Hana wrapping around the national tropical forest on the side of the Haleakala [dormant volcano]. The views from the studio go into and beyond our 12 acres of matured park.
Our studio is clean and well taken care of, so you can enjoy a wonderful stay. The rental is made of bricks and painted stucco walls, tile floors, and high-beam ceilings. As soon as you open the sliding doors, you are standing on a 12-acre park covered by a lush landscape with ornamental trees, tropical plants, seasonal fruit trees, and flowers.
To tell you a bit more about the property, on the ocean side of Mana Aina, there is a 50-acre forest. On the Eastside, we have a big gulch with a seasonal water stream coming down from the Haleakala's rain forest, which goes all the way down into the ocean where Jaws is located [one of the world's largest surfing/windsurfing waves]. On the Haleakala side, we have another 50-acre property as quiet as ours. East Kuiaha Road is a very quiet road on the west side of our property.
We are pro wildlife and insects because our plants & trees need them, so there are big chances you will see geckos and other insects on our property. We do our best to keep them out of the studios, but you might see them. For a pristine and manicured landscape where insects and birds are fumigated, you might want to stay at one of Maui's resorts on the South Shore.
NEIGHBORHOOD
Although our property offers seclusion and quietness, you can find great restaurants and grocery shopping just a 6-minute drive away. If you are into organic and healthy foods, the Mana Foods store in Paia is just 10 minutes away, and the Pauwela Cannery is perfect for casual breakfast or lunch. The Haiku Cannery has even more dining options, including Nuka Sushi and Colleen's Restaurant for burgers, pizza, and more. Vegout offers vegetarian options, and Maui Kombucha Bar is a must-visit. Don't forget to check out the Ahonui Plant-Based Cafe food truck on 111 Stable Road, Paia.
If you're here during wave season, visit Jaws to witness some of the planet's most giant rideable waves. The Makawao Forest offers a unique hiking experience for hikers and adventurers, and the Piiholo Ranch Zip Line is a must-try. Stop by Makawao Town for shopping and sandwiches at Casanova's, or head to Paia for a stroll on the beach and some shopping at Mana Foods.
Several beautiful beaches are nearby, such as Hookipa Beach Park, Tavares in Kuau Bay, Paia Bay, Baldwin Beach Park, Baby Beach, Spreckelsville, and Kanaha Beach Park. If you're looking for streams and pools, Iao Valley, located above Old Wailuku, is a must-visit spot.
Finally, don't miss out on exploring the Haleakala volcano, Poli Poli, Kula, Twin Falls, and even some secret spots like Commando Hike. We hope you enjoy your stay in Maui and look forward to meeting you and discussing more great places to visit.

This location is serene, gorgeous, private and unique. We loved the cacophony of birds at dawn, the occasional gecko or mongoose in the yard, and the beautiful flowers blooming everywhere. Comfortable stay, with a working kitchen.

This little cabin is a perfect, peaceful, out-of-the-way spot for accessing everything that Maui has to offer. It was our home base for surf lessons, whale watching, snorkeling, sunbathing and swimming. It's ten minutes from some of the greatest surf breaks in the world, so watching the pros do it is just an ordinary part of the day. Great food (especially in Makawao), but we also cooked a fair amount in Alejandro's unfancy but well-equipped kitchen. The birds and the stars from the cabin are ... just ... aaahhh.

We enjoyed our stay immensely at this property in Haiku. It's a great spot to explore Upcountry as well as Paia and Hookipa. While there can be heavy rain showers in the area, it was quite charming from the property, to stay dry and enjoy the views. The unit is exceptionally clean and has everything one could need. Alejandro was v. responsive. As others have noted, there are occasionally some small critters in the units (lizards!), a facet of being in nature in this area! but they didn't bother us and we didn't bother them :) All in all, a great stay and we would definitely come back in future travels to Maui!

Three long-time friends sought respite and rejuvenation in the quiet surroundings of the property. The studio and lands are well cared for and inviting. The close proximity to Paia, Makawao and the road to Hana (10-15 minutes) offered a great jumping off point for day trips while the solitude of the property offered a quiet location to return to at the end of the day to rest, enjoy the company of great friends and bath in the sounds of nature -- bird song, gecko chirps and the wind in the trees. Would recommend to those seeking the natural beauty of Maui. Deep appreciation for sharing your property with guests.

We spent 2 nights at the property and it was my best stay in Maui. I loved waking up to the forests and the chirping birds … our host and their family let us hang out with their dogs who my toddler loved playing with… very tastefully and thoughtfully set up property and super close to paia which has some amazing beaches and restaurants … overall can’t thank the hosts for sharing their space with us…

If you are looking for a quiet getaway from the city noise - this is it! Very quiet and lovely - all you hear is the sounds of nature - the crickets and the birds! The layout is also very good - we were there with another couple and The units are connected by a foyer which made it very easy for family to stay together and easily dine together etc. Alejandro is a great host, very responsive and caring. Lots of geckos to see :) beach is just few minutes drive away and also close to Makaweo and Paia, as well as right at the beginning of road to Hana. Comfortable studio unit - large and spacious.
