After being on the go for 5 days in Maui, this house was the perfect relaxing getaway we needed to slow down. The house was clean and modern. Our favorite local spot to eat was Fresh Pāhoa Fish. We would stay here again.

The place was great, amazing views and ability to walk out across the lava to the shore. It was secluded and a little tricky to navigate to if you arrive at night but easy parking and great place to explore that side of the island. Host was great and left clear instructions.

Fantastic location if you want serenity and peace for a while. Ocean is a 2 minute walk where you can sit and watch the ocean waters hitting the lava shore. At night the stars are your pleasure!

Beautiful view, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Appreciated the nice pots and pans, though cooking facilities are very limited (there is no stove or oven, there is just a 2 burner induction cook top).

We really enjoyed our time here. The place was very clean, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for. It’s in a secluded area of the island and absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of Hawaii. Everything was well taken care of, and the host was easy to work with and very accommodating, which made the whole experience smooth. We’d definitely stay here again.
