We had a great family vacation and the house was the best part. FANTASTIC view!!! Very well appointed with top of the line items and amenities throughout the house. Easy walk into Paia for breakfast-lunch-dinner and great shopping. Close to the airport. Did I mention the world class view?

Incredible Stay

Our stay has been magical. The door openings onto the patio make the house feel open to the outside. The views over the bay are beautiful with the constant crashing of waves. We loved Paia as a rustic, not too touristy town, literally a two minute walk away. We loved our stay and the accommodations!

A great comfortable stay in a great location- close to everything but far enough away to escape

Thanks so much for letting us stay in your home, it was absolutely perfect. We especially enjoyed the pool and the outdoor living, at night we were able to escape to the air-conditioned bedrooms with comfortable beds. Such a great set up in a perfect non-crowded beach town. Thanks again.

Heaven

My sister lives in Paia and we wanted a place to stay close to her with our two small children. This house was heavenly. Stunning views, impeccable architecture and design of the interior and exterior. Everything was perfect. A short few minute walk to town, groceries, shopping. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful house in Maui!

We had a amazing stay. The house was wonderful and location were very good. It's hardly been clear at all. It has mostly just been raining. But it was nice house and town, I had a fun and comfortable time there. I strongly recommend this property. Thank you to the kind support of Maui Vacation Properties.

Aloha. So happy to hear that you had a fabulous time at Makani Akau. It's such a wonderful home with that amazing view. And you are correct, our weather in May was cloudy/wet compared to our usual gorgeous dry May weather. We'd love to have you return in the future.

Perfection

This home is the perfect place for families on Maui. Paia is such a wonderful spot full of awesome beaches for kids and the town has a great amount of shopping and food and beverage. We rented bikes and had the very best week swimming in the pool, adventuring to nearby beaches and recharging while taking in the most breathtaking views from the patio. The indoor / outdoor living arrangements make this house so special and every amenity was available to make the week fun and easy. We will be back.

Amazing!

My husband, 5 year old daughter, mother and I just stayed at this gorgeous property in Paia! The home is spectacular, even better than the photos if you can believe it! We enjoyed the amazing ocean view every day and ate every meal outside soaking it all in! Great to have a pool and spa to start and end each day! The kitchen was well appointed and everything was very clean and comfortable! We were able to several see sea turtles every day just by going out the back gate and sitting on the steps. Wonderful location, walked into Paia town to get food and visit the shops. Loved the Paia fish market and Flatbread Company for dinners. The Red Sand beach nearby was one of our favorites, as well as Twin Falls and Wailea Beach! Highly recommend and will be returning again!

Absolutely Amazing!

Honestly this house exceeded every expectation we had. Our group consisted of my wife and I, our 17 year old daughter and her best friend, and our 20 year old son and his best friend. The house was set up perfectly for a group of our size. The rooms were great and each bedroom having A/C was huge! Literally everything was perfect. The pool and hot tub were great. The view of the ocean was incredible and there were sea turtles in the water right next to the house everyday. Management was fabulous and very helpful throughout. And the town of Paia is in perfect walking distance. We walked to dinner and lunch and getting coffee or breakfast everyday. When we come back to Maui we will definitely stay here again. Truly the pictures don’t do it justice!

Fantastic location & property

Closer to town than we'd expected, but plenty private. The ability to walk to town was great. The place is so nice we hardly felt a need to explore Maui, but it's easy from the central location.

More Cons than Pros

First the pros. The backyard and view are spectacular. The house is located within an easy walk (5 min) to Paia where there is several boutiques and restaurants. As for the cons, the house does not have central air conditioning. There are window AC units in 3 of the bedrooms, but they are very noisy (70db); too noisy to sleep. The main living area (kitchen, living room, dining area) has no AC, so you need to leave doors open. However, only 1 of the 5 doors had a functioning screen. The net result was lots of centipedes and lizards coming in and the main area being very warm. The beds are very soft and the toilet handle in the master bathroom toilet was broken and the toilet had to be flushed by pulling the chain up in the tank. We have stayed on multiple properties on Maui, and this was by the least comfortable. In its current state, we can’t recommend this property to anyone.

For all of the years that this home has had vacation rental guests, this is the first time that a guest didn't enjoy their visit. We apologize for that, as we want every guest to have a fabulous vacation. Most of the guests that stay at Makani Akau are return guests that plan their vacation based on when the calendar is open. Although we had plans for new split level A/C to be installed during summer 2021, the pandemic interfered and equipment was not available. We hope that's resolved this fall. Even when we install the new A/C it will be in the ocean facing bedrooms only. This home was designed for indoor/outdoor living and has large sliding wall panels that open both the front and the back of the house to the outdoors. The only way to cool that area would be to keep everything closed, and we don't feel that's what a vacation to Maui is all about. Most of our guests want to enjoy the outdoor environment. The beds are actually quite firm, but we’ve added memory foam toppers as we had requests for softer beds. I wish you would have called, and we could have easily removed the topper. We didn’t get a call during your visit about the toilet, as that’s a very quick/easy fix, and we would have taken care of it immediately. Lamar, in future if something isn’t quite right, be sure to call the property manager of any property that you stay in. Many items can be remedied immediately. Vacation should be a fabulous break from our regular life!

Stunning location with a great house!

We loved our time here. We only spent a week, but could have stayed forever. Each morning we sipped coffee poolside while watching sea turtles feed in the lagoon below. The beach was literally a 5 minute walk, and had a variety of wave strength depending on where you wanted to walk. The house was great. All the appliances worked well and the furniture was comfortable. We rarely used the indoor furniture except sleeping, however, as we were ALWAYS poolside. The cross breeze kept the house comfortable, but there was air conditioning if needed. The only concern with families with little ones- the upper windows have easy to open screens and we worried our 2.5 year old would get adventurous and fall out. Easy fix with opening the house up for the day and closing at night for safety- but something to think about with the littles! The town is cute, a few shops closed- likely due to effects of COVID, but I think it will rebound nicely as tourism is definitely returning to the area. We found everything we technically needed in walking distance, but did take a few short trips to larger stores to buy in a bit more bulk. Thanks so much for the great property, we are hoping to return soon.
