Enjoyed the house, spacious and comfortable. The view of both sides of the island was awesome as were the sunsets. The weather was a bit windy but beautiful and warm nonetheless. Everything worked well in the house. The bed in the master bedroom was VERY comfortable and the walk-in shower lovely. We ate many meals at home and the house was well equipped with plenty of the ingredients you need, but don't want to have to go out and buy, salt, oil, etc. The downstairs apartment is very nice, beautiful flooring. Mark returned our calls promptly and was able to get us extra blankets when we needed them. Easy walk to Makawao. All in all a wonderful stay and I would stay there again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Makawao. We usually break up our trips to Maui – ½ in Makawao and ½ at the beach. We really like the neat, little town with good restaurants, cool nights and friendly people. The views from the house are beautiful and we enjoyed the sunsets each night. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We especially appreciated all of the water toys, beach chairs and snorkel gear available for use. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and has a fantastic array of kitchen gadgets, pots and pans. The full size washer/dryer is also a plus! This home was a good jumping off point for our drive on the Road to Hana. If you stay here, you can cut off Paia with a backroad that takes you straight to the RTH. Take a right at the first stop sign coming down Olinda Road (where the Mexican Restaurant is on the corner). We used our iPhones to lead us the rest of the way and it shaved off a good bit. As for restaurants, we enjoy Casanovas, the Steak House and the Mexican restaurant. We have had great food and service at all three. Reservations are suggested at Casanova’s on Fri & Sat evenings. We also like to pick up breakfast sandwiches at the general store in the mornings. Pick up groceries in Kahului before heading up. The general store is handy for day to day items, but if you need more,stop at one of the groceries in Kahului. The owner suggested an amazing massage therapist to us, who came to the house and gave massages. What a treat. She was amazing (even my mother in law who is a massage therapist herself thought she was awesome!). I think her name is Megan. Highly recommend this place. Only one tiny little issue… there are lots of cackling roosters in the neighborhood. Other than that, a wonderful, well equipped house with a very responsive owner.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Incredible views from the living rrom and deck of the entire West Maui mountains and both coasts. Very comfortable home - gourmet well equipped kitchen. Second apartment downstairs with its own kitchen. Great location for biking and hiking. Walk to Makawao town and 7 miles down the hill to Paia. Great opportunity to disappear in to the landscape and live like one of the locals. Highly recommended. We are already booked for another month next year.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

This place was AWESOME! I had coffee on the deck in the mornings and was greeted with double rainbows front and center all six days. And the pizza (Lilikoi /Kalua Pig) from the guy in the upcountry longs parking lot was the best pizza I ever had, I thought it was better than 2 Amy's in D.C. he's there on Wednesday's.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We had a wonderful stay in Makawao. The house was very comfortable and the view across Maui was spectacular. The owner did a wonderful job making this house a great place to stay on beautiful Maui. The layout, design, furnishings, and appliances were all outstanding. Being within walking distance to the amenities in town was great. This is where we will want to come back to the next time we are in Maui.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our family has stayed in some 30+ vacation rental homes and condos over the years. This spacious home by far is the best equipped and very clean. We loved the kitchen because we prepare most of our meals (after 6 trips to Maui there are only so many times you want to go out and eat). The lanai is outfitted with a large 5-burner grille, a spa, a hammock chair, and two very comfy wicker chairs & side table. Mark, the owner, provides complete snorkel gear, boggie boards and the best beach chairs. We took full advantage of the free wi-fi and broadband internet as we used the 24” iMac extensively. This home is in a residential setting within a short walk to the main 4 corners of Makawao and the most popular of upcountry sites such as the Maui Winery and the Alii Kula Lavender farm are less than 30 minutes away. We also enjoyed the local farmers markets in both Makawao and upper Pukalani. There is a great outdoor rec community center only a few minutes away from this property across from the Foodland grocery store in Pukalani. It has very good walking/jogging paths, tennis courts, a pool, soccer fields and baseball diamonds. The temps here were ideal with cool mornings and low 80's in the afternoons and of course the view from the living area & lanai are fantastic; West Maui mountains and the ocean. Clearly this is one of the best homes you can rent in Makawao!Owner response: Thanks so much! I try to think of everything I can to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable.

Thanks Mark, We are so glad we found your house and were able to enjoy the comforts of home while on Christmas vacation. Nice cozy little town, nice neighborhood, centrally located. The views were spectacular every morning and every night. The December showers made for spectatular rainbow displays everyday. The house was very well kept, furnished and had any and everything vacationers would need. The glasstop dining room table was amazing and the picture at the end of the table of the girl on the beach was something we enjoyed everytime we sat down. I will never stay in another hotel again while on vacation because of people like you who make vacationing a true pleasure. Thanks again, and we will definitely look you up the next time!

This is truly paradise. From the deck, you can see both shores of Maui. One morning, we spotted a rainbow that reached literally across the island. The house, itself, is amazing. Beautiful art. A glass topped dining table that brings the beach inside. Spottlessly maintained. The kitchen is equipped with just about everything one could possibly need. A huge DVD and CD collection should you wish to be entertained. Mark is a gracious and unobtrusive host. He had the hot tub heated up and ready for us when we arrived! I loved the shower in the master bedroom! There's snorkeling gear, boogy boards, beach chairs and towels for guests' use. I lost my cell phone and Mark mailed it to me. I almost hate to rave about this place, because I want to keep it for myself. Makawao is the perfect place for a nontouristy Hawaiian getaway. This house is located in a residential neighborhood just a short walk from the center of town. Casanova's restaurant has some of the best Italian food ever. Komodo's Bakery has donuts to die for. Makawao is, despite it's remote location, convenient to just about anywhere you might want to go... beaches, Hana, Haleakela, Lahina. If I'd had my way, I would never have left the deck of this beautiful home. And, the little feline visitors were polite and welcome additions to our mornings!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our family of 3 spent 8 days at this upcountry vacation home, located in a residential neighbourhood within the town of Makawao. The location was fantastic - within walking distance of the historic Makawao commercial area, and central to a variety of Maui destinations. The other advantages of the location included cooler evening temperatures, more comfortable for sleeping than at sea level and also being away from the very touristy areas of South Maui and West Maui. One disadvantage, although not a fault of the property owner, was the wild moa which could be heard throughout the day and night with a barking dog next door. If you're a light sleeper, this may not appeal to you (incidentally, I am a light sleep so this is why my rating is good and not excellent). The property itself is a comfortable, well-appointed home with a kitted-out kitchen, high tech TV and computer equipment, and a good assortment of beach gear. Our 3-yr old enjoyed the plastic shovels and mom and dad took advantage of the snorkel gear and boogie boards. The owner was always available via cell phone to respond to any of our questions or concerns. We would definitely consider staying at this location again in the future.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
