Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1986
Why the Owner Chose Haiku
As explained above this is family land, but even if it was not we would have purchased in Haiku. Our area is tropical, with green fields and beautiful flowers. We are in the "non-tourist" area of Maui. Waterfalls and the Bamboo Forest are just down the street. Haiku town has a place to get a latte, as well as the best fish taco stand on island. We have two groceries not over two miles away, two bakeries, numerous restaurants -including Mama's Fish House. Best of all there is a real sense of community.
The Unique Benefits at this House
To awaken to bird song is my favorite moment of the day. Ron's would be the time he spends on his tractor. We love the view of the gorge and the ocean from the Lanai where we sit having out coffee. We find working the land and making the space ever more beautiful truly joyful. We share that joy with our full time caretakers, Alain and Elizabeth who live in the cottage at the other end of the property. To jump into the pool at the end of the day and then into the hot tub to enjoy a glass of wine is pretty terrific. We are proud of what we have created and love to read the comments that our guests make after they too have felt the magic.
Owner's Map of Haiku
We are the Wilbur’s, Ron and Barbara. Our property is family land. Ron’s paternal grandparents were born in the islands, grandfather and father on Maui . We purchased 5 acres of the original 30 acre parcel homesteaded by Ron’s paternal grandmother from his father in 1975. The land had been leased for pineapple. We first planted all five acres in a type of Protea, not a successful venture. We then more sensibly planted palms, which we continue to do to this day. We also have tropical flowers and our newest venture is growing Vanilla orchids (that is where the Vanilla bean comes from)
We built our home in 1985 with a full remodel in 1999. We have children and grandchildren on the mainland – the appeal to spend time with them is great. This allows time for others to share our much loved home.

Our group of six adults were blown away by this beautiful property. Words and pictures can never come close to our experience. Thanks for allowing us into your home.
Owner response:It is very flattering to see a review that speaks to the concept that "your picture does not do you justice". Our caretakers do an amazing job of keeping the property in an awesome state.

large, beautiful house with architectural detailing, great furnishings, and big pool. great arboretum setting. landlord is a good guy, easy to work with, and caretakers are a lovely couple. setting is 10 minutes past paia (fish market, flatbread pizza, cafe des amis, mana foods) and therefore convenient for trips to hana, haleakala, and the kahului movies. we love this house but you should know beforehand that this is not sunny, calm (touristy) kaanapali. you are on the windward, rainy side of the island. you need a car here.
Owner response:This was John's 4th Christmas at the pole house.

Second trip to Maui

We just completed our second stay at this vacation rental. The home is very well kept and clean, and the addition and remodel only added to our enjoyment (completed in Nov. 2011). The household furnishings are of very good quality. Pictures do not do justice to the beautiful garden and pool area. We purposely spent at lot of time at the house, enjoying the spa, pool, and swaying in the hammock! This part of the island is very peaceful and quiet and if that is what you are looking for I highly recommend staying here. A great (and uncrowded) beach is just about 10 minutes drive away. We found several restaurants in the area (Haiku and Paia) that we frequented when we did not cook at the house. Also close is a good, well stocked natural food store (similar to Whole Foods, which is also in Kahului). The caretakers were available for questions, but also discreet and unseen unless we called them. We enjoy telling our friends about the Maui Pole House and highly recommend it.
Owner response:Nice to see you stayed close to home. There is no better way to relax than to stay in the area and off of the roads. I am glad you liked the remodel

I think I've seen a little corner of heaven. It was as much or more as described. Grounds unbelievable. We loved Paia, Hana, the waterfalls, everything we loved.

If you want to be away from the bustle and crowds, that is THE place. This is our second time to stay at the Pole House, and it was simply superb. It is very well maintained, clean, and very beautiful (the listing pictures can't effectively portray the true beauty of this property). I've recommended the Pole House to friends who stayed here also, and they agree. The trip to Hana is memorable. Along the Hana Highway, take your time to see and swim in the many fresh water pools and waterfalls; explore remote beaches; examine the beauty of the tropical rain forest; and experience rural Maui. No trip to Haiku is complete without having a fabulous meal at Mama's Fish House (reservations recommended). Paia is a neat quirky little town with unique eateries and shops you'll want to visit. Even when not getting out and about, just spending time at the Pole House property is perfect. My family really enjoys cooking out, swimming in the pool, soaking in the hot tub, and enjoying the views. No doubt: we will stay at the Pole House the next time we visit Hawaii.

This was our second stay at this property. We were guests in June of 2008, and again in June 2011. A special event brought our family to this location in 08, and celebrations of family milestones in '11. what a wonderful place to make memories last. The property is as described perfectly, the pictures accurately reflect the appearance but cannot relay the actual beauty. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the caretakers are amazing. The correspondence with the owner is excellent before, during and after the stay as, and if needed. We enjoy the less populated side of the island, as we have become familiar with the town of Haiku, and Piaia, in addition to the 'upcounty' and its charm. A 40 minute drive takes you to all the action if you want it. I must admit that our favorite times have been the morning rain showers, coffee on the porch in the swing chair watching the beautiful tropical birds in the feeders. Once again, we hope to return to the home for more of the same... hopefully sooner than later! We would highly recommend this property to anyone!

Our family of nine stayed in the beautiful home for the second time in May, 2011. Big house, lovely big kitchen, beautiful huge lanai with lots of dining space--this was perfect for us. The grounds are well-tended, the caretakers are wonderful people (they even loaned us their jumper cables when our rental car battery died) and the ambiance is beyond compare. You can pick your own fruit on the estate grounds or go for a relaxing swim. We lounged around the swimming pool and soaked in the adjoining hot tub every evening. We generally cooked our own meals and loved eating outdoors on the big lanai. We also found good take-out food in the nearby town of Paia. The owner is very gracious and helped us make last-minute reservations for his house when we had to suddenly travel to Maui for a family funeral. I highly recommend this estate, especially for larger family groups.
Owner response:Thank you for the review

Review Submitted: 06/24/11
We were blown away upon arrival, very secluded location even though right on the Hana Highway. The property is an adventure for adults and children, coconut trees and ample area to run around and explore. We spent the majority of our time at the Pole House in the pool and hot tub. Operation was easy and intuitive. Interior of the house is more spacious and impressive than in any photos on the internet. Bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs were spacious and very clean, even though there were 'flooding' restrictions on the bathtub where we would have bathed the kids. Kitchen was perfect excpet for the million tiny bugs that owned the countertops and that took us a day or two to figure out how to manage. We learned that bugs and geckos were also guest in the house and that, "oh that's right, we're in the jungle guys." Every return to the Pole House was ceremonious, and our 6 year old was the dedicated enterer of the code for the front gate. Both of our children would get out of the vehicle and run up the driveway each time we returned 'home.' It was one of the highlights of our trip and they were so in love with the Pole House. Our niece stayed downstairs and had her own privacy and 'private apartment.' It rained almost every night and the metal roof was amazingly soothing for me but lesser so for my wife who is a light sleeper. We opened up the doors and widows each night to let the tradewinds ventilate and cool the house. Days were mostly sunny and aboslutely gorgeous. We hope to return to the Pole House again with our family. Overall and an excptionally lucky find for us. Thank you Ron and Barbara!
Owner response:Mark Thank you for the review. I loved the part where the kids ran down the driveway and into the hot tub. Ron

Me and 4 other girlfriends plus 1 incredible husband had a little get away to Maui in April 2010. Staying at the Pole House was a giant cherry on top of out very sweet escape to the islands. This home is just wonderful. The very best part was the privacy! We might as well of been the last 6 people on the planet. We ate, we drank, we danced, we even sing songs while splashing in the pool. Hands down the best trip ever! Since we've returned home, there has been several times that the words to "Hear Comes the Sun" just pop out of our mouths at random. We cannot wait till the day comes that we can go again. We LOVED it!! Best of the best on Maui!!!
Owner response:We try very hard to make the property special. It is very rewarding to get a guest review like this one.

My husband and two children ages 13 and 3 stayed at this secluded tropical estate for one week in August of 2010. We appreciated many aspects of the property including the privacy, bird watching, and the relaxing pool and hot tub. The home is centrally located in Maui, which makes driving to Lahaina or Hana relatively easy.
Owner response:It is nice to know that the birde are appreciated. We have food available for those who wish to witness the eating pecking order of the flock
