Pictures and description were very accurate and helpful. Very quiet neighborhood, far from the tourist vibe but close to wonderful Hoâokipa beach with green turtles, easy access to the stops on the Road To Hana, and good restaurants! Great value, including comfortable bed!!
We were looking for a place to begin the Road to Hana. This location in Haiku was perfect. We were able to get an early start the next day to beat the crowds. We stayed here again on the way back after our stay in Hana. Very quiet neighborhood. Close to Paia town where there are little shops and great eateries: fish, flatbread, ice cream, shave ice, etc. I got here a couple minutes before check in at 4 but received no communication from the owner on how to check in. Apparently the email doesnât go out until after 4:00 though the confirmation email said it would go out the morning of your stay. However this was quickly resolved.
Everything was just so efficient. No need stay in line and wait for check in and check out. And the awkward smiling at the hostess Everytime you leave and come back in. Everything we needed was in our suite and the on call assistance is always available.
The place is spacious, some parts dated and some updated. It is upstairs, so bringing up luggage was a bit challenging by myself, however an upper unit is always nice to have. There is one small window AC unit which is very noisy, so close the west-facing shades in the afternoon. Fortunately I was staying in early March.There was some unexpected noise such as a renovation next door and a very loud TV playing but otherwise it was quiet. The bed was comfortable. I recommend they inform guests to use the neighbor's address for GPS, otheriwise it sends you up the wrong street.
