The perfect oasis

This property was so breathtakingly beautiful and secluded. My husband and I stayed here together and the privacy of the cottage allowed for such a romantic get away. The hosts were so amazing and so kind they truly made us feel so welcomed and special. We really hope to come stay at this incredible place again in the future.

Maui WOWie!!

My partner and I recently stayed at Haleakalā Cottage for 3 very comfortable nights. We loved the seclusion of the property and the thoughtful touches, such as fresh eggs, bread, coffee, the list could go on. Easy parking space. Make sure you catch the sunrise on the cliff! You won’t be disappointed :)

Peaceful, pretty, a restful place to stay

The property is set a bit away from any of the nearby towns, which is a nice thing. Very nice to wake up hearing birds and other animals welcoming the day. Very well positioned for the Road to Hana, but also convenient to Paia. Very comfortable visit, we enjoyed our time here very much.

40th wedding anniversary trip

We stayed at Haleakala Cottage on the second portion of our 10 day trip to Maui. We wanted to be close to road to Hana and it was that and more. Such a peaceful place with wonderful comfort touches, from the bed, extra pillows, towel warmer, private hot tub and garden, fresh flowers through cottage and treats waiting for us in refrigerator. The host was amazing with a special medical request I had and we loved the short walk to the coast to watch the sunrise. Highly recommend!

Paradise in Maui

We had such a wonderful time!! We wanted to be off the beaten path and this was perfect!! Upon arrival there was beautiful welcome flowers everywhere! Bottle of wine, eggs, bread and fruit- everything we needed for the first night and first breakfast . Cozy & quaint - 500 sq feet of all we could ever need in a Hawaii Bungalow!!! We will be back!!

MAHALO NUI!

Sharyn and her husband were incredible hosts. They completely spoiled my mom and I for future rentals. It is clear they take great pride and care in what they do. We loved their attention to detail and commitment to being eco-friendly. We felt very comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Amazing property! Our stay was not near long enough!

Hubby and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with a stay in Haleakala Cottage at Huelo Point Lookout! While we enjoyed each place we stayed in Maui on our week-long visit, Sharyn made this one extra special! We were greeted with flowers (collected from the beautiful property) all over the cottage, making it quite a romantic, enjoyable stay! We spent most of our time right on the property, enjoying the flowers and trees of the "jungle", beautiful sunsets on Huelo Point, the birds, fresh eggs from the resident chickens...too many little things to mention! A very special escape!!! We will be back!!

beautiful grounds

The grounds were really pretty, the cottage we stayed at was small and could use some basic updating. Everything seemed a little worn out or run down. The overall place is on a lot with 3 other cottages/houses. Felt mostly private. The pool was pretty cold to us, colder than the beaches we visited. Very secluded to anything you would want to see or do or eat. Minimum drive time to really anywhere is about 20 minutes. The showers are outside so we were happy we showered one day early before it rained all late afternoon and evening. I thought the bed was comfy, my partner did not. We did not feel the value was worth the money and would not stay here again. Overall I would give it 3.5 stars.

Terrific cottage with outside shower surrounded by shell ginger!

Pretty, delightful, colorful, and thoughtful extras! Lori was very helpful and allowed us to drop-off perishable food prior to check-in, the crew put our groceries in the refrigerator and had a colorful pineapple and bananas garnished with a bright red hibiscus flower waiting for us when we finally checked in. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed to cook and relax. The place is sparkling clean. My favorite feature is the beautiful indigo blue outdoor shower. Beach chairs are available for use and the complex has a great walking path between private property to view the ocean. Comfortable and attractive cottage away from the crowds and tourists.

Best vacation rental experience ever.

I can't say enough good things about this experience. We wanted to move in permanently! Everything was perfect... the cottage was clean, quiet, we loved the weather (even the rain at night), the hot tub. We spent a LOT of time there, as opposed to being out and about all the time, and loved every moment. Sharyn and Jeff are wonderful. The property is meticulously landscaped to give you as much privacy as possible. We barely heard or saw anyone else the entire time we were there. The outdoor shower is spectacular. We definitely will be back... easily the best vacation rental experience I've had, and I've stayed all over the world. Thank you so much for a perfectly romantic, private, quiet week in the jungle!

Hidden paradise

This property was a literal slice of heaven. We spent a good chunk of our trip doing the Road to Hana, so this location was PERFECT! Imagine sleeping with doors and windows open - waking up to the ocean sounds, a few roosters crowing, and maybe a kitty wondering the lusciously tropical grounds with smells of blooming flowers. Perfection! Amenities were above and beyond. Hospitality was above and beyond. Experience was above and beyond. I’m so glad we stayed here instead of a hotel! Pros: away from tourist traps - felt like a local, outdoor shower set up (so cool!), thoughtful amenities of bread/eggs/fresh flowers, hot tub - especially at night under the stars with the waves crashing in the background Cons: bumpy road, distance from popular attractions (other than Road to Hana) Highly recommend this for ANYONE - couples, friends, families, single adventurers. Staying at this property literally *made* our trip to Maui memorable and full of wonderful memories!

Like Being in a Costa Rica Rain forest but without the bugs

We have been to Maui several times, and have always stayed on the West side in resort areas. This stay we divided it up and wanted to see more of the other side of island without making the trek. Our cottage was beautiful! It exceeded our expectations!!! Better than the pics. The property was beautiful and fun to discover the different fruit trees, avocado trees, macadamia trees, etc. We saw so much on the road to Hana this time because we had such a jump start with being so close. Close to Jaws, and Hookipa park. Paia. Mama's Fish house. Owners communicated so well, and relieved any worries about covid and working with us if problems arose with traveling. We will be back! and PS... I went looking for insects/critters (to take photos) and there really isn't much on the island or this property. The tiniest of ants were around a switchplate in the bathroom- I think i must have had something on my hands that attracted them= food, cologne, etc. once we cleaned it, they didn't come back. so no worries there. Bed, pillows, linens were so comfy too!!!

A little slice of paradise!

This beautiful cottage is hidden away from all the noise. If you’re looking for peace and the sounds of nature, this is it. This cottage is located off Hana Highway, a perfect place to stay if you’re going to do the drive, you’ll want to back track two miles to hit the Twin Falls. The directions to find the cottage are very clear, and you get to take a beautiful scenic drive down a local neighborhood in Hana. We received a beautiful Hawaiian welcome, with flowers and candles decorating the inside. We couldn’t have had a better welcome. There were amazing snacks and goodies provided to us, including bread, wine, delicious coffee, fruit, and chocolate. It’s also easy to wake up early with the sun, the chickens help with that, and they are great little compost machines so if you have any leftover food or takeout, they have you covered. They also are very diligent about recycling and garbage processes (which we love!), and don’t be fooled by the black cat. He is not starving, our hosts let us know his name is Flash and he likes to come and visit. Also, you may end up with some gecko friends, they love to hang out in the bathroom and outdoor shower. A note, if you’re uncomfortable driving winding roads at night, make sure you plan ahead. We felt very at ease, but our frequent trips in the evening left us seeing a lot of Hana Highway stragglers struggling to get off the highway at night. Remember to let locals pass! The hottub and back patio were a great way to wind down the night.

Property managers were super responsive and provided everything needed. Including chairs and boogie boards for the beach. Audio on the road to Hana. Works stay here again

Mahalo to the hosts! We had a great time at the Haleakala Cottage. House was decorated with fresh local fruit and flowers when we arrived. Hosts personally helped out with Wifi troubles within minutes of notification. Outdoor shower and hot tub were very relaxing! Location is a bit out of the way and off-road, so we recommend getting a Jeep if you're renting a car. 10/10 would stay again!

Magical stay under the stars

The Haleakala cottage was absolutely magical and everything we wanted for our romantic anniversary getaway. Off the beaten path and surrounded by lush foliage, this was just what we were looking for. The bed was comfortable, the outdoor shower enchanting and the hot tub was perfect for star gazing. Close to both Paia and Makawao the location was ideal for shopping and dining just a short drive away. We loved being away from the crowds and tourism. The cottage felt like our own private paradise. There is a short and beautiful cliff walk to an ocean view surrounded by cows and lush greenery. The hosts were very responsive and communicated well. We met the manager, Kai, and he was very kind and helpful. We only saw 3 other people on the property during our entire stay. Very private and secluded! The cottage was sparkling clean and well equipped. We will definitely be coming back to this enchanting slice of paradise.

Paradise for Two

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. We were on our delayed honeymoon (2020 wedding). The stars were like nothing we had seen before and the tranquility was just what we were looking for! We know there were other guests, but we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We can’t wait to recommend to a friend.

Absolutely perfect retreat! Away from everything in this exquisitely landscaped property, like staying in a botanical garden. The hot tub surrounded by lush greenery! The walkways, viewpoint and coast access!! I never knew I needed an indoor/outdoor bathroom with garden, so open and lovely, hard to explain but oddly freeing! Arrived to a beautifully appointed cottage with fresh eggs from chickens on property, fruit and other great, local essentials, place settings arranged, flowers everywhere! Loved feeding the chickens and the stroll to the coast walk, such beauty and thorough care taken by owners and team. You can tell they truly care about this place and their guests. Best for those wanting quiet, remote retreat as it is tucked away on the Hana highway and therefore not the most convenient if beach or busy agenda planned (but not impossible as we went everywhere!). I felt very serene there, awed by the surrounding beauty. Looking forward to returning someday, mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Sharyn

Host profile image
Sharyn is an actress, writer, speech therapist, permaculturalist & interior decorator. At the moment, she's enjoying theatre improv and working on a one woman monologue show, which she'll perform in a few months.

Jeff is a retired dentist - now he specializes in metaphysical counseling, and is expanding his hypnosis practice into Subconscious Training. (Previously he used these skills in working with phobic patients in dentistry - but these skills have much wider applications and he's having fun expanding them).

We have one young son, Kai Nalu, aged 19, who was born here in Maui. He's a heck of a surfer! We also have an older son, Adrian, who lives in England with his lovely German wife, Antje and their 2 totally cute kids. We're too young to have grandchildren! aaaggghh!!! But what a treat!

Why they chose this property

Huelo is off the beaten path, wild and wonderful. Who could resist? We have a constant trade wind, so we never 'bake' like the west side ... and here the landscape is lush, so it's easy to do our organic gardening. We wanted a Maui dream escape, but also wanted some conveniences, and these we have aplenty!

What makes this property unique

Privacy and relaxation are things that are priceless. So many people find they rediscover those things, when they stay with us. Romance too, of course - that comes naturally when you've re-created that space for just for yourselves. This is the natural part of Maui - not 'manicured' or 'manufactured' to be part of a Hollywood image. Here, you discover the 'real' Maui - exotic ... waterfalls ... bamboo forests ... soaring ocean cliffs ... nesting seabirds ... wild ocean ... what we dream of, when we say 'Hawaii'. Here, you'll feel 'remote', but still enjoy the conveniences of having access to 3 small towns (Pa'ia, Makawao and Haiku) for easy grocery pickup, P.O., delightful boutiques & fun restaurants.
