This unique and romantic two story, one bedroom house is nestled in a mango tree. The house is an A-frame structure with high ceilings and skylights making it bright and airy. It is located less than a mile from the bohemian town of Paia and all North Shore beaches. The closest beach access is Kuau Beach, Kuau point, three blocks, and Hookipa Beach less than a mile.
The second floor bedroom has a queen size bed with French doors that open up to the private lanai and a window AC unit.The main floor has a living area with a full size futon/couch, a full kitchen and a marble tile bathroom with a jetted tub and shower combination. You can see just a small sliver of ocean from the second floor lanai, but we do not call it an ocean view. There is a patio just outside the house, with an outdoor grill, outdoor shower to remove the sand from your day at the beach and your own private parking area.

If you have a larger group, our Green Turtle House is on the same property and can be rented as a two bedroom house. Please see listing: VRBO #720946

Beautiful home with privacy

Even though Maui is so expensive that most people do not own acreage ......the way the home was situated and gardened made it both beautiful and private at the same time. It was very close to the beach and also to Paia town. It had an upper deck and a lower covered porch so plenty of outdoor areas to relax or eat. Was the perfect space for two adults and a child.

Charmingly Perfect Gingerbread House

My grandkids were born on the island, so I've had many occasions to visit Maui over the years. I love the north shore and always stay near Paia. This was my first time renting the Gingerbread House and I absolutely loved it! It was located perfectly between Paia and Ho'okipa Beach where my granddaughter surfs. It was spotless, well equipped and decorated with love. The upstairs bedroom was beautiful with a walkout onto the balcony lanai. The futon downstairs was made into a bed for my son. The kitchen had everything and the bathroom was gorgeous. Everything we needed was there. My son and I walked to nearby Ku'au Bay (5 minutes) and loved seeing the basking sea turtles. We ate dinner at Mama's Fish House (the best!) just a few minutes drive up Hana Highway. Paia is a short drive or 15 minute walk away. I would go back in a heartbeat and I would rent the Gingerbread House again.

Great but a few notes!

Overall we had a fantastic stay at the Gingerbread House. We loved Paia town and the surrounding areas. The house is clean, check in and communication was great, and the guidebook found in the house is so thoughtful-we used and loved all the recs and info! We also enjoyed the proximity to the Road to Hana, Haiku, and Makawao. Additionally, the house is easy to find and property and amenities like outdoor space and laundry were all great. Now a few things I wish I had known...The description is accurate in terms of distances, but this house is not really walkable to anything. The highway has no sidewalk and a super narrow shoulder, so this felt unsafe on the one walk we attempted. If you stay here, you'll definitely want a car even to make it to Paia or the closest beach. The other thing is that the bathroom is sunken down from the main level of the house and has a lot of slippery tile. Since this house has 3 levels, I would definitely not recommend it for anyone who struggles with balance or has mobility issues. Overall, the house is charming, but it is small and very open and the bathroom is dated and far from the main bedroom. We stayed with our 7-year-old (3 people total) and it felt very small. That said, if it is your goal to be out and explore, this is a good spot to land and is close to many awesome things.

Perfect

Everything was absolutely perfect! Great location, easy to get to anywhere on the island! Feels secluded but you can walk to the closest public beach within 6 minutes! We had an amazing stay at the cute Gingerbread House in Paia Town! ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Poni

It would be a pleasure to host you at one of our Spyglass Maui Rentals and share the "Aloha" of the island with you. We have two units: the Gingerbread House and The Green Turtle House. Both houses sit on the same property, in the middle of all the North Shore beaches, less than a mile from the adorable bohemian town of Paia. Poni, the owner, is a musician, singer-song writer, home owner, and lover of nature, and Poni shares her business with her son Corey who is also the owner of the Maui Kite Riders Kite surfing school in Kahului. We hope that you enjoy your stay with us! Mahalo.
